(David Cleveland/AP)Maybe Ed Orgeron wasn't on the sidelines for USC's game against Fresno State in the Las Vegas Bowl, but the spirit he instilled in the team was present as the Trojans knocked off Fresno State, 45-20, on Saturday.The team responded nicely under interim coach Clay Helton, who has been mentioned lately for the open Florida offensive coordinator position although Inside USC reported he would be kept on as offensive coordinator under Steve Sarkisian.But it was impossible to separate this USC team from Ed Orgeron. Some players even had "Coach O" written across their arms, according to CBS's Bruce Feldman. The most noticeable difference seen by the team coached by Helton was in the development of quarterback Cody Kessler, who despite some inconsistency throughout the year, had one of his sharpest games against a depleted Fresno State secondary. The sophomore finished the day 22-of-31 for 342 yards, four touchdowns and a pick, and the return of a healthy Marqise Lee to go with Nelson Agholor made a big difference. The pair of receivers combined for 212 yards and all four of Kessler's scores on the day.There is plenty to be excited about if you're Sarkisian. As long as the new USC coach, fresh from Washington, can win over the Trojan players, the rejuvenation largely started by Orgeron could lead to even more success over the next couple years. USC played for three different coaches, had a variety of injuries and has been all over the map emotionally since the start of the season.After Lane Kiffin was fired at an airport following the team's loss to Arizona State on Sept. 29, it would've been easy for the Trojans to give up entirely. Finishing the year at 10 wins, including the bowl win and a 20-17 upset of Stanford on Nov. 16, feels like a real accomplishment.For Fresno State the loss is a sour one considering the position the Bulldogs were in just a few weeks ago. In line for an at-large BCS berth entering its game against San Jose State, all Fresno State had to do was beat the Spartans and win the Mountain West Championship and the Bulldogs would likely have been playing in the Fiesta Bowl. Instead they were upset by SJSU, 62-52, the day after Thanksgiving and relegated to the Las Vegas Bowl, where they looked overmatched again. Quarterback Derek Carr needed a showcase performance to boost his draft stock, as there have been questions all year about whether he's merely a system quarterback taking advantage of inferior competition. He didn't do much to quell those concerns, as USC's secondary sat on the underneath routes and dared Carr to beat it deep, which he was unable to do on a variety of opportunities. A hard hit left Carr favoring his shoulder in the first half, and that may have had something to do with it, but that excuse won't exactly fly with a lot of NFL Draft nuts. He finished the day 29-of-54 for 218 yards, just four yards per attempt, with two scores and an interception. Promoted Stories Comments

Lead ruthenate $(Pb_2Ru_2O_{6.5})$ with pyrochlore structure is one of the phases that form in thick-film resistors, which consist of a conducting oxide dispersed in a lead borosilicate glass with minor additions. Lead ruthenate converts to $RuO_2$ when the PbO concentration in the glass is reduced. $TiO_2$ is added as a modifier to lower the temperature coefficient of resistance of thick-film resistors.

Kick the bucket
To kick the bucket is an English idiom, considered a euphemistic, informal, or slang term meaning 'to die'.[1] Its origin remains unclear, though there have been several theories.
Origin theories[edit]
A common theory is that the idiom refers to hanging, either as a method of execution or suicide. However, there is no evidence to support this. Its earliest appearance is in the Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue (1785), where it is defined as 'to die'.[2] In John Badcock's slang dictionary of 1823, the explanation is given that "One Bolsover having hung himself from a beam while standing on a pail, or bucket, kicked this vessel away in order to pry into futurity and it was all UP with him from that moment: Finis".[3]
The theory favoured by the OED relates to the alternate definition of a bucket as a beam or yoke that can be used to hang or carry things on.[2][4] The "bucket" may refer to the beam on which slaughtered pigs are suspended. The animals may struggle on the bucket, hence the expression.[2] The word "bucket" still can be used today to refer to such a beam in the Norfolk dialect.[5] It is thought that this definition came from the French word trébuchet or buque, meaning balance.[2][4] William Shakespeare used the word in this sense in his play Henry IV Part II where he says:[2]
Swifter than he that gibbets on the Brewers Bucket.
—William Shakespeare, Henry IV Part II
A third theory suggests that the origin of the phrase comes from the Catholic custom of holy-water buckets:[6]
After death, when a body had been laid out ... the holy-water bucket was brought from the church and put at the feet of the corpse. When friends came to pray... they would sprinkle the body with holy water ... it is easy to see how such a saying as "kicking the bucket " came about. Many other explanations of this saying have been given by persons who are unacquainted with Catholic custom
—The Right Reverend Abbot Horne, Relics of Popery
Alternatively, in the moment of death a person stretches his legs (in Spanish Estirar la pata means 'to die') and so might kick the bucket placed there.
Yet another seeks to extend the saying beyond its earliest use in the 16th century with reference to the Latin proverb Capra Scyria, the goat that is said to kick over the pail after being milked (920 in Erasmus' Adagia). Thus a promising beginning is followed by a bad ending or, as Andrea Alciato phrased it in the Latin poem accompanying the drawing in his Emblemata (1524), 'Because you have spoilt your fine beginnings with a shameful end and turned your service into harm, you have done what the she-goat does when she kicks the bucket that holds her milk and with her hoof squanders her own riches'.[7] Here it is the death of one's reputation that is in question.
American variations[edit]
At one time the American and Caribbean expression 'kickeraboo' used to be explained as a deformed version of 'kick the bucket'.[8] The expression occurs as the title of a mid-19th century American minstrel ballad with the ending 'Massa Death bring one bag and we Kickeraboo'.[9] However, it is now thought that it may have derived from a native word in one of the West African creoles. The expression 'kek(e)rebu' is first recorded in 1721 with the meaning 'to die' in the Krio language of Sierra Leone.[10] Earlier still 'Kickativoo' is recorded in Ghana (then known as the Gold or Slave Coast). In 1680 it referred to the capsizing of a canoe but also had the meaning 'to die'.[11]
Whatever African American usage might have been in the 19th century, by the 20th century they were using the idiom 'kick the bucket'. It occurs in the jazz classic Old Man Mose, recorded by Louis Armstrong in the USA in 1935, and in the West Indies it figured in the title of the reggae hit "Long Shot kick de bucket", recorded by The Pioneers in 1969. In the case of the latter, the song refers to the death of a horse.
In North America, a variation of the idiom is 'kick off'.[12] A related phrase is to "hand in one's dinner pail", a bucket that contains a worker's dinner.[5] Another variation, 'bucket list', or a list of things to do before one dies, is derived from to kick the bucket,[13] popularized by the 2007 film The Bucket List.

If anyone who isn't employed on One Bills Drive tells you they correctly predicted Buffalo would land defensive end Mario Williams at the start of free agency in 2012, they're pulling a Pinocchio.
Williams wasn't on anyone's radar, and when news broke that he was signing with the Bills, the entire NFL was shocked. As a matter of fact, some of the people who are employed on One Bills Drive were a bit surprised.
So it would be silly to say that not much is expected from the Bills when the 2013 feeding frenzy begins Tuesday afternoon. However, after giving Williams a $100 million deal, it's probably ...

The scene in the bath (Kagami and Tsukasa's one discussion) was implying that she hadn't hit puberty yet, so that makes complete sense Though if she plays h-games, I can't imagine Konata would be that oblivious to the female body! |
Well, puberty is triggered by weight. So for her to NOT have hit puberty, she would be under 40kg... But I think it was mentioned somewhere (ep 5???) that she and the gang were 17 years old.
I'm not so sure about that one, davidnsz. I think puberty is triggered by hormones, released at a certain age. I think at that age, she must have hit puberty, but just hasn't grown up, or out, too much.
this show i awesome, she`s like the female version of me xD
Whether she has or hasn't, it looks like it will be part of a continuing joke about Konata's size. Perhaps she just wants people to think she's that "type"?
So I take it you are a 16~17 years old boy who looks like a 6th grader then... |
OK whos still obsesed with the Initial D scene? I am. Sometimes I'm easily amused.
I really like this series, not only the anime references but also the the somewhat dull conversations you might hear in real life that end up with a slight anime twist.
Yes, but hormone release is triggered by weight, at least partially.
I am too, sometimes I just watch that part to get a good laugh. The part where the bystanders go "Wow!" is also amusing to me. |
Yap, there is a high possibility it's a original song Because I already tried listening all of their song that I have but none of them is the one that is used for Initial D scene |
i just downloaded a full version of the OP from gendou.and i can't get enough of it .right now i'm still listening to it for god knows how many times .
i know Jul10-san has uploaded it a few pages back,but rapidshare doesn't work for me ...so i guess i'm a bit behind from you all |
Hmm, the OP Single is just out today. It is supposed to be on 23rd, though, I'm not sure how np can host it earlier than the release date. I just post the dld link for the full OP single on : http://boards.fansub.tv/index.php?showtopi...ndpost&p=149771 [rapidshare link] nashaa, if you are interested in the full OP single just post a request in anime music thread, and i will upload it in another host server. Fansub. TV does not deal with licensed anime or Media Factory Inc. Works. For complete information, please read the Anime Rules --> Fansub TV Awards #3 --> Fansub TV Awards #4 |
Yes, the OP song is very lively but I think the dance of the girls complements the song really well also. Thus, it is a bit lacking when I listened to the song.
Hi. I'm a new member!!
I like Lucky Star, and the OP theme RLZ too much!!! My fav Lucky Star Character is Konata. Don't you like her? Well, see you later! |
I'm suprised the subbed version for episode 7 by a.f.k hasn't been released yet. It's usually available on tuesdays..? Hm, maybe it'll be available later on today, I hope so anyway
did the same group who did Initial D OPs sing the insert song of that scene? That's the best reference ever with the 5-hairpin turns, and that Timotei was really cute too with the way she said it. I later found out it's from a Japanese shampoo CM....lol |
Heyas, Maybe you need more Sausage in your diet? |
YEAH!!!! Ep 7 is out ^^
Man it hard not to watch this show again...third time now...hahaa |
Only start dl-ing that. Man,I just love Konata and Kagami. Kill all those that have been bad-mouthing this series. Aya Hirano is da' best! (man,I love it when she sang Head Cha-La as ED,say,isn't she a wonderful singer? Furthermore,I can't find a concrete way to associate Konata and Haruhi-sama as having the very same seiyuu. ) |
The one Konata was talking about at the beginning of the episode Also Miyuki's singing voice... I really couldn't believe it

About 700 people donated blood at camps organized by the Sikh Nation across B.C. in memory of the victims of 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom.
The Sikh Nation organizes annual blood donation camps every year to mark the anniversary of the anti Sikh massacre during the first week of November, 1984 following the assassination of the Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards.
The supporters of Indira Gandhi's so-called secular Congress party led mobs who mobbed, robbed, raped and murdered Sikhs across India. Prominent Congress leaders involved in the mass murders have not been punished even after 28 years have passed. Ironically, India had its first turbaned Sikh President, Zail Singh during the pogrom while the country is being currently led by its first Sikh Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh.
Defying rain, many people showed up at the blood donation camps on Saturday. There was a two hours wait at least at one camp, according to Dr. Barjinder Singh of Sikh Nation. A moment of silence was also observed across B.C. at 6 pm on November 1, 2012 in memory of the victims. I too went silent on air for a minute before my evening news broadcast.
Sunil Sharma, a volunteer associated with the blood donation campaign noted that the violence started around 6 pm on November 1, 1984. "It was therefore fitting to hold a moment of silence at sharp 6." The organizers have sent across another message to shame the Indian government by commending Brian Murphy, a US police officer who was injured during recent racial violence at a Wisconsin Sikh temple in which six Sikhs were murdered. So much so, the U.S. recognized it as its own tragedy and raised its national flag at half mast. "The idea is to tell the world that the Indian establishment too could have saved many lives if at all it had a political will.", Dr. Barjinder Singh said.Notably, such a massacre did not happen against Sikhs or Muslims in US even after 9/11 despite isolated hate attacks.
At no point of time, the US politicians went on 1984 like rampage against any minority group. It is a separate matter that the US led imperialist wars against Afghanistan and Iraq that brought deaths and massive destruction.
It is sad that the Indian government which has repeatedly raised its concerns with the Canadian government over increased activities of Sikh separatists in this country has not taken any strong political initiative to bring the culprits of the 1984 violence to book. Such indifference and arrogance is actually legitimizing the cause of the Sikh separatists and strengthening their hands, leaving those who care for social justice with little choice except protesting or organizing events to shame a secular establishment of world's largest democracy.

it is not about hatge – but i am sick and tired of people fighting their battles on our soil
why???????????? ur ppl didnt fight their baddles on our soil???? you seem very uneducated. educate urself aout cdn, european history my friend
I agree with writer Gurpreet Singh that Sikhs have started a very good drive of donating blood to save lives. And also to let the world know about the 1984 Sikh Genocide when thousands of innocent persons were killed by mobs led by ruling congress party leaders. The ruling Congress Govt. has always justified those killings by saying it was reaction of people for Indira Gandhi's death. But we have seen many tragedies in the world but the ruling Govts. have never allowed innocent killings as a reaction. The big 9/11 tragedy when thousands of innocent persons lost their lives, there was no reaction of mobs killing minorities. There were a few isolated hate crime incidents against minorities, but Govt. acted quickly and punished the guilty persons. But India is the only country where thousands of innocent persons were killed by mobs led by congress leaders, and Govt. has fully justified those innocent killings and so far in 28 years has failed to punish the guilty persons or provide any justice to the victim families. We'll like to thank all the volunteers and participants for making this Blood donation drive a huge success. And we need such good drives and writers like Gurpreet Singh to make the world aware of 1984 Sikh Genocide and Indian Govt's failure to provide any justice to the victim families.
FACT: the militants holed up in the temple in 1984 were shooting police from inside the TEMPLE!!! They have no problem shooting guns from inside and killing people, and them complain when they were attacked. because the temple is a place of violence where everyone shoots off gun and kills people….its not for praying!
Fact: Sikh terrorists brought down the Air India flight, killing hundreds including sikhs! Yet they never will admit or acknowledge the murder they have on their hands!
Fact: Sikh fundamentalist continue to push for an independant homeland here in Canada, idolozing murders, killers and promoting hate within temples and in the annual Vaisakhi float! I wish we could deport all you losers back to india! this is Canada, if you want to fight for your homeland then you should go to punjab and fight, not here in Canada!
Sikhs continue to spread the hate worldwide through intimidation, violent assaults and murder against anyone including sikhs against their terrorist cause: ie: Ujjal Dosanjh/ indian newspaper journalist Hayer/ indian general brar.
Were are talking about November 1984, not June. Get you facts straight. I wish we can deport all you sour faced uptight racists back to Scotland. This Canada, this is our country as well, get used to it.
actually I am indian just like you. so am just being racist to my own people if that is ok with you.
Killing is not justified by either side…but continuing the killing in the name of god, payback, beant singh whatever years after the fact is just plain stupid! no side involved in 1984 is justified in what they did…including the governemetn and SIKH SEPERATIST!!!
i have cut a pasted this – but i find this whole event rather one sided – if you read back this is all caused by the radical Sikh political groups – i have also read that this culture beleives that religion and governement are one in the same – we do not have this belief in canada
Operation Bluestar
Main article: Operation Bluestar
The government seemed unable to stop the violence in Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi. Knowing her government would be voted out of power in Punjab the January 1985 elections, [2]Operation Bluestar was a mixed success. Indira Gandhi ordered the army to storm the temple complex in Punjab A variety of army units along with paramilitary forces surrounded the temple complex on 3 June 1984. The army kept asking the militants to surrender, using the public address system, but according to civilians inside the complex no announcements were made and the Army termed everyone inside the complex as enemies. The militants were asked to send the pilgrims out of the temple premises to safety, before they start fighting the army. However, nothing happened till 7 PM.[3] General Brar then asked the police if they could send emissaries inside to help get the civilians out, but the police said that anyone sent inside would be killed by the militants. They believed that the militants were keeping the pilgrims inside to stop the army from entering the temple. Finally, around a hundred sick and old people were let out. These people informed the army that the others were not being allowed to come out.[3] The army had grossly underestimated the firepower possessed by the militants. Thus, tanks and heavy artillery were used to forcefully suppress the anti-tank and machine-gun fire. After a 24 hour firefight, the army finally wrested control of the temple complex. According to Indian Government sources, 83 army personnel were killed and 249 injured. while insurgent casualties were 493 killed and 86 injured. Unofficial figures go well into the thousands. Along with insurgents, many innocent worshipers were caught in the crossfire. The estimates of innocent people killed in the operation range from a few hundred of people.
[edit]Effect of Operation Bluestar
Main articles: Operation Woodrose, Assassination of Indira Gandhi, and 1984 anti-Sikh riots
The Operation Bluestar inflamed the Sikh community. Many saw it as an attack on their religion and beliefs.
On 31 October 1984, the Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi was gunned down by her two Sikh bodyguards. In the wake of Indira Gandhi's assassination, rioting mobs allegedly led by Congress leaders, who are still facing the court cases,[4] rampaged through the streets of Delhi and other parts of India over the next few days, killing several thousand Sikhs. The police "worked to destroy a lot of the evidence about who was involved with the killings by refusing to record First Information Reports" [5] Hundreds more were refused because the victims wanted to name Congress leaders like Sajjan Kumar, HKL Bhagat and Jagdish Tytler. Human Rights Watch reports "In the months following the killings, the government sought no prosecutions or indictments of any persons, including officials, accused in any case of murder, rape or arson."[6] Hundreds of murders are yet to be even registered by police.[4] The New Delhi Police was reported to be doing nothing to stop the rioting, as was the state and central government.[4] It was only after three days of rioting in the capital of the country that army was called in to restore order.[4]
AMRITSAR: While the nation pays homage to late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Shiromani Akali Dal (B) backed Sikh's single largest representative body Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) paid homage to one of Indira's assassin Beant Singh and performed Bhog (ceremonial completion ) of Akhand Path (uninterrupted reading of Sri Guru Granth Sahib) in his memory.
On October 31, 1984, Beant Singh , bodyguard of Indira Gandhi, along with another body guard Satwant Singh had assassinated the then PM at her residence. Beant Singh was however immediately shot dead in a gunfire following Indira's assassin while Satwant Singh and another conspirator Kehar Singh were hanged to death on January 6th, 1989.
after the Sikh body gaurd killed the prime minister of India – Ghandi's daughter – i belive – Ghandi who helped expell the british and then he was killed by his supporters – WOW – Punjab was split in two – why do you not ever mention pakistan in your rants
anyway – it seems to me a sikh caused this massacre – did anyone ever look at the possibility that this was contrivred by the powerful sikh businessmen in the regions – to help expedite a country for sikhs -
"it seems to me a sikh caused this massacre"
Seriously? That is the worst case of victim blaming I have ever seen. One does not cause another to engage in wholesale murder and rape against people who happen to share a religion with the people who assassinated I Ghandhi.
With your level of logic one could blame Ghandhi herself for bringing on her own assassination and the violence it caused. You like to use a lot of words but clearly have no grasp of the deeper reality behind them.
i am just asking for someone to clear this up – i have been reading about this for a while – i am definitely not condoning any pogrom of any race – but it is rather unclear on how this really started – it goes back to the 70′s when the fundamentlist politcal group AKALI DAL – when they started to use violence for a cause to creatre a seperate punjabi state
what a bunch of nonsense. Do us all a favor,just stick to things you know about.
Ed, you seems to be very intrested to know more about Blue Star Operation and 1984 Sikh Genocide. It is difficult to explain everything in this limited space. I'll request you to google search about Blue Star Operation or Lt. Gen. Sinha, the army Gen. who tells you how Indira Gandhi had pre-planned army attack on Golden Temple 18 months earlier. Also to know more about 1984 Sikh Genocide, click on Who are the Guilty. That'll tell you everything the whole 1984 Sikh Genocide was planned, organised and executed by the ruling congress Govt. And that is why in 28 years the congress led Govts. haven't punished the guilty pesons or provided any justice to the victim families. I hope these things will give you enough knowledge about true facts.
well you have a sikh as prime minister of india, why has he not shed light on this?
why has he not opened an investigation and charged people for this???
MAYBE he realizes that both sides including the sikhs did alot that was also not acceptable including the murders they committed prior to the temple massacre.
why are your hoods not going after moahman singh and try to attack/kill him?
what is the BC SIKH NATION – i am confused is it a group of sikhs – our do we have a Sikh Nation within our Nation of Canada
also i f they are defining themselves as a Nation within Canada – does anyone else find this troubling
i would also like to ask the Sikh nation if they plan on a 1 minute of silence to pay respect to the victims of the Air India Bombing – which was – from what i read a form of payback – no one ever really brought to justice in that case and it happened in Canada – what i have troubles with is the constant hatred towards India form Sikhs – yet their prime minister is Sikh, tghe captain or military man who led the attack was sikh , the bodyguard who killed Ghandi was sikh
it just seems odd
Yes, its very confusing world, but don't worry too much. Good night and sleep tight.
Yes I have noticed your signs along the highways(sikh nation)is this a nation in Canada or India? if in Canada please explain how this is possible,not very exclusive.thought sikh was a religion ,never heard catholics,muslims,or jews in Canada call themselves a nation,always this persecution thing,the seperate agenda,when I give blood I just give not lable myself anything!
You seem like a very bitter and sour individual, relax, please and enjoy you life.
Fact:Multiculturalism is a myth that has never worked and never will work !. There is a whole full scale corrupt immigration industry in canada and oversea.The government is quick to help out thousands of immigrant legal and illegal that has not put a nickle into our economy. You will see a big increase in "Temporary Foreign Worker program" is increasingly little more than a government-sanctioned way for big business to by-pass Canadian workers and substitute with cheap foreign labor. Our corrupt politicians are happy to have us race to the bottom of the economic ladder in order to ensure their political backers can get increased profits.Once in canada.FACT:You will NOT be deported even if you commit multiple criminal offenses,Claim economic refugee status ,the Canadian , gullible taxpayers will gladly pay for a immigration lawyer ,or get married have children and you in the country.You are NOT going to get deported for atleasted 10 to 15 years.
Dave, just say thank you and return to your basement
Your comment has nothing to do with the story, the atrocities the Sikhs endured or their wonderful form of remembrance.
BTW, starting any assertion with the "Fact:" is the best way to make it look like you are pulling facts out of your butt and ensures no one takes you emotional screeds seriously.

Who cares, the good siks are protesting in India, and thats where they should stay
I heard in Toronto, it took over 50 years for a German to be deported of suspected Nazi murders.Also we came with papers, did not just come over because Europe decided to clean its slums and prisons. This is OUR country as well, get over yourself.

best primer for raw wood ?
I'm going to spray the celing in the basement white. Who's primer covers raw wood best? I do not plan on painting over the primer. I just want the celing to be brighter. Sherwin williams, or Benjamin Moore Or should I use whatever is cheapest?
You should never JUST prime, primer was not made as a finish coat.:no:
Agreed. Primer will begin to look like poop after awhile. Spray it with a flat white after you use a good oil primer.

Mathworks Faculty Visit Indonesia, Build International Relations
Mathworks Faculty Visit Indonesia, Build International Relations
San Marcos, TX - January 18th, 2013
While some students and faculty spent the winter break with family and enjoying traditional American holiday foods, four Texas State faculty crossed the Pacific and landed in balmy Indonesia. Director of Mathworks, Max Warshauer; Associate Director, Terry McCabe; and Curriculum Coordinator, Hiroko Warshauer; along with Director of Academic Development in the Honors College, Diann McCabe, recently returned from a two-week visit to the southeast Asian island nation. Ridwan Saputra, Director of Mathematics Education Clinic (KPM)
, invited the Texas State faculty members to make presentations in Bogor and Jakarta in West Java and Makassar in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Max, Terry, and Hiroko taught students and teachers from Bogor and Jakarta at multi-morning sessions called, "Holiday with Mathematics." The sessions highlighted problem-solving using Mathworks methodologies similar to the Junior Summer Math Camps held in San Marcos. At a final presentation, Max addressed over 200 parents and students about the important elements of teaching mathematics and the mission of Mathworks.
In the afternoons the Texas State faculty gave talks and seminars to mathematics faculty and students at four universities including Institute Pertanian Bogor (Bogor Agricultural University), Pakuan University, Universitas Negeri Jakarta (Jakarta State University) and Universitas Negeri Makassar (Makssar State University). Diann made presentations about Texas State University and Hiroko discussed mathematics education research at Texas State University and gave presentations on her area of interest, "Productive Struggle in Teaching and Learning Mathematics". The faculty also answered several questions from the audience.
The four Texas State faculty members were introduced to administrators, faculty, and graduate and undergraduates who expressed interest in collaborating with the Texas State Mathematics Department and exploring ways to create possible exchange programs with Texas State University. Ridwan, his students, and their parents provided a warm welcome during the entire time of the visitors stay. Ridwan and several of his students plan to attend this year's Mathworks Junior Summer Math Camp (JSMC) for middle school students and Honors Summer Math Camp (HSMC) for high school students. This will be the fourth year that Indonesian students and teachers participate in the Mathworks summer math programs.

what is the waterproof rating? also, are these insulated?
These pants are pretty good. They look really cool, but they run small so size up a lot. The cuffs at the bottom suck. They fit so akwardly around your binding it looks stupid.The zippers got hard to zip after a few days of light riding and the metal details fall off and bend really easily. i like them alot, but i will be getting a pant with a baggyer fit and better quality. I can understand that Atmosphere is a upcoming brand thats pretty new and needs time to improve.

Paragliding is a relatively new adventure sport in Nepal, and is the simplest, safest and least expensive way of discovering the joys of flying alone to experience the aerial views of the magnificent Himalayas. Sarangkot, at 1,592 m above Lakeside in Pokhara Valley, is the jumping off point for paragliders. From here, one can take in stunning views of three of the world's Eight Thousanders, namely, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Manaslu.
Ultralight aircraft takes off from Pokhara and offers spectacular views of the lakes, mountains and villages. This is an ideal way to see life from a new perspective. Flights are operated almost throughout the year except during the monsoon (June through August). Flights take place from sunrise to 11 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to sunset every day, provided there are no rains. During the half- hour flight, one flies over Pokhara city, Phewa Lake, Sarangkot Hill and gets close to the Machhapuchhre mountain. Another option is to explore the Annapurna range from 12,000 feet or higher in an hour.
The only cable car in Nepal takes you on a pilgrimage tour, up to the abode of the wish-fulfilling Goddess Manakamana, from Kurintar in Mugling.

Singer/songwriter Damon Gough (aka Badly Drawn Boy) and director Paul Weitz captured lightning in a bottle in 2002 with the award-winning film About a Boy. Fueled by Gough's skewed yet emotional pop songs, it made Badly Drawn Boy a critical darling. Being Flynn, an adaptation of author Nick Flynn's memoirs Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, finds the pair reuniting in 2012 for a second go-round, and the results are pretty much the same. Once again, Gough's simple melodies and soulful delivery provide an emotional core from which the film draws to help illuminate its more poignant moments. Peppered throughout with impressionistic piano and string-laden instrumentals that feel like faded postcards from the '70s, it works surprisingly well as a stand-alone record, requiring little in the way of plot knowledge to be enjoyed as is. Less quirky than About a Boy, but maintaining an undercurrent of whimsy that helps cut through the at times overly earnest, sunset indie folk of songs like "Let It Rain" and "I'll Keep the Things You Throw Away," Being Flynn exudes warmth like a favorite old coat, even if it smells a little funky. ~ James Christopher Monger | |

April 26, 7-9 p.m.
The Community Church
40 E. 35th Street (between Madison and Park Avenues)
Women have been the backbone of much of the political resistance in the Middle East. Women have led the struggle for a just peace in Israel/Palestine. This event will bring the voices, experiences, activism and perspectives of women so often absent from the U.S. public discourse on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
Ola Shtiwi earned her LL.M degree in international human rights law at the University of Notre Dame in 2010 and her LL.B (JD equivalent) from the University of Haifa in 2002. She coordinated the legal department of Kayan, a Palestinian feminist organization based in Haifa. Ola started her human rights work as an advocacy coordinator in Women against Violence, a Palestinian organization based in Nazareth. Her work included advocating for Palestinian women's rights among Palestinian and Israeli policy makers.
Hannah Safran is a long-time feminist and peace activist who combines grass-root activism with academic research. Her book on the history of the Jewish suffrage movement in 1920's and the feminist movement in Israel in the 1970's was published in 2006. She teaches women's studies at Emek-Yisreel College and at the extension of Leslie University in Israel. She is a member of Isha L'Isha the Haifa Feminist Center and has been active at Women in Black the Coalition of Women for Peace.

It won't stay A.P. High Court order
The Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay the Andhra Pradesh High Court order that quashed 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities in central educational institutions such as the IITs, and ticked off the government for the way it had handled the "complex" and "sensitive" issue.
The apex court expressed its "unhappiness" that the Centre was blaming the High Court when it had itself failed to produce documents to support its case.
A Bench of Justices K.S. Radhakrishnan and J.S. Khehar was critical of the Ministry of Human Resource Development rushing to the apex court with the appeal against the May 28 order of the High Court without documents to justify the policy of carving out 4.5 per cent sub-quota within the 27 per cent OBC reservation.
Without issuing any notice, the Bench asked Attorney-General G.E. Vahanvati to produce before it the supporting documents on the issue by Tuesday and posted the matter for hearing to Wednesday.
The Bench said it cannot stay the High Court order "unless the government produces material to show a detailed exercise was undertaken to carve out the sub-quota."
The Attorney General started submissions by taking the "blame on his shoulders" for the outcome of the sub-quota policy in the High Court by saying that the "argument was not the most brilliant."
He sought some protection in view of the ongoing counselling for IITs for which 325 candidates had qualified for it under the 4.5 per cent sub quota and their career and future could be jeopardised if they are not allowed to appear for the counselling.
When Mr. Vahanvati said there was need for some protection in view of the ongoing counselling for IITs, the Bench said, "We will not order stay."
"First of all you have not produced any documents in the High Court. We would have been happy, if you had done so," the Bench said.
The Bench wanted to know from Mr. Vahanvati as to what was the basis and how did the government determine 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities.
When he sought to point out errors in the High Court order, the Bench said it was natural for the High Court to ask questions on which the Centre was complaining. The Bench, which was not in agreement with Mr. Vahanvati that the "High Court has gone completely wrong," said "when the December 22, 2011 Office Memorandum (OM) (on 4.5 per cent sub-quota) reflected nothing, the High Court will ask questions."
"Without placing documents, how can you find fault with the High Court [order]," the bench said adding that "where is the material and the High Court says nothing is produced." When Mr. Vahanvati said the High Court also missed the 1993 notification on caste identification, the Bench wanted to know whether it was placed before it or not.

MINNEAPOLIS (March 12, 2007) - Tony Grygelko's Seconds Out Promotions, co-promoting with Goossen Tutor Promotions, is bringing Showtime's "Showbox: The Next Generation" series to Minneapolis on April 6 at The Target Center. "Heavyweight Invasion," headlined by a 12-round title bout between Travis "Freight Train" Walker and George "El Torito" Garcia for the vacant IBA Americas heavweight boxing championship, features Minnesota native Raphael Butler in an eight-round heavyweight battle against unbeaten Nigerian power-puncher Teke "African Prince" Oruh, and showcases several Gopher State fighters.. "Our April 6th show not only brings Showtime to Minneapolis," Grygelko said, "but it continues our commitment to bring big-time boxing back to Minnesota. Working with Minnesota boxing commissioner Scott LeDoux and the Target Center, Seconds Out Promotions is presenting its third show in less than six months, which has given local boxers the opportunity to fight at home often and in front of family and friends. We want Minneapolis to be the mecca of boxing in the Midwest." Minnesota fighters scheduled to appear on "Heavyweight Invasion" includes middleweight Matt "The Predator" Vanda and super featherweight Allen "The American Boy" Litzau from St. Paul, St. Louis Park featherweight Wilton "Pretty Warrior" Hilario, Blaine super middleweight Jon Schmidt and Osseo super middleweight Caleb Truax. Walker (22-0-1, 17 KOs), 2003 National Golden Gloves champion, is coming off an eight-tound decision last November on Showbox against 2004 U.S. Olympic super heavyweight Jason "Big Six" Estrada. Garcia (13-0, 4 KOs) defeated Walker at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials, 30-25. Butler (25-3, 20 KOs), fighting out of Rochester (MN), became the youngest heavyweight in the world to notch 20 knockout victories when he stopped Brad Bowers in the first round this past February 24. The 23-year-old Butler, 2004 National Golden Gloves winner, is one of only three heavyweights younger than 26 with 20 or more knockouts. The unbeaten Oruh (13-0-1, 6 Kos), now fighting out of Las Vegas, hails from Lagos, Nigeria. Vanda (35-3, 21 KOs), former IBA Americas light middleweight champion, hopes to rebound from his disappointing 10-round loss to intra-state rival Anthony "The Bullet" Bonsante on January 12 at the Target Center. Vanda's matched agaisnt boxing veteran Chantel Stanciel (20-5-1, 12 KOs) in an eight round match. Litzau (12-2, 6 KOs), Minnesota State featherweight title-holder, faces upset-minded Jenkins Alvarez (5-8-1). Hilario (7-0, 7 KOs) attempts to extend his perfect streak against the toughest opponent of his young pro career, former two-time world title challenger Luis "El Monstruito" Bolano (41-7, 31 KOs), in a six-rounder. Also fighting on the undercard against opponents to be determined are Schmidt (1-1, 1 KO) and pro boxing debuting Truax, who graduated from the University of Minnesota last December having majored in sociology with minors in political science and African American Studies. All bouts and fighters are subject to change. Tickets, reasonably priced at $25.00, $50.00, $100.00 and $250.00 (ringside), are available at the Target Center box office, all TicketMaster outlets, online at www.ticketmaster.com or charge by phone at 651.989.5151. Doors open at 6 PM/CT, first bout at 6:30 PM/CT. For more information call 612.673,1600 or go to www.targetcenter.com.

Getting Personal
Submitted By Todd on December 17th at 4:56pm
When the sniping becomes personal, that's when a President knows his star is falling. Howard Dean has been attacking the Senate health reform bill, saying it's time to kill the bill over the past few days, but today he said he would offer only tepid support for Barack's reelection!
HOWARD DEAN: Look, here's the thing: every politician says this and I hesitate to do it because they all say it, but sometimes the country's more important than either party. JOE SCARBOROUGH: Amen. DEAN: I'm going to support President Obama when he runs for re-election. Not vigorously. I'm going to vote for him.A sign of melting down to come? We can only hope!
Scarborough can be heard bursting into laughter off-camera. DEAN: I am, I am. SCARBOROUGH: "Not vigorously." Boy, I can almost feel the confetti [presumably from GOP victory celebrations] falling on my head here!

To test whether adding fluoxetine pharmacotherapy to behavioral cessation treatment improves the depression-prone smokers ability to quit.
Condition | Intervention |
Cardiovascular Diseases Heart Diseases |
Drug: fluoxetine Behavioral: cognitive behavioral therapy |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Masking: Double-Blind Primary Purpose: Prevention |
Study Start Date: | February 1998 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | January 2002 |
The research was a treatment-matching study to test whether adding fluoxetine pharmacotherapy to behavioral cessation treatment improved the depression-prone smoker's ability to quit. The investigators randomized 144 smokers with a prior history of depression and 206 smokers who lack such a history to a double-blind treatment with either 60 mg fluoxetine or placebo, while they underwent cognitive behavioral treatment to quit smoking. The main study outcome was biologically verified abstinence 6 months after treatment. The administration of placebo and fluoxetine began 3 weeks before the quit smoke date and continued for 2 months post-quit date (totaling 11 weeks on drug/placebo). Cognitive behavioral treatment were weekly before quitting and biweekly after quitting. There were monthly follow-up evaluations for six months after the quit date. The research tested both the Selective Benefit Hypothesis and the Generalized Benefit Hypothesis of fluoxetine's effects. The hypothesis of the mechanism of action was that the drug diminished compulsive smoking behavior, obsessional cigarette craving, and nicotine withdrawal dysphoria that occurred independently of depressive vulnerability.

A day after The Hindu highlighted the alleged violations of model code of conduct by the former MLA C.S. Puttaraju in an article titled, 'Bus-stand named after JD(S) candidate Puttaraju', Election Commission (EC) officials on Thursday removed his name on the bus-stand shelter by painting the area black. Mr. Puttaraju is contesting as the JD(S) candidate in the Lok Sabha bypolls from Mandya constituency. According to the EC's directions, the local administration must remove names and photos of candidates displayed in public places. But, a bus-stand at Holalu village in Dudda hobli in Pandavapura taluk was named after Mr. Puttaraju a few days ago.
Reacting to the newspaper report, a team of officials from the district administration visited the village on Thursday, photographed the bus-stand and later removed his name.
Suo motu case
According to sources in the Election Commission, officials are contemplating registering a suo motu case against Mr. Puttaraju for allegedly violating the model code of conduct.
MLA fund
The bus-stand was constructed at a cost of Rs. 7 lakh under the MLA Local Area Development Fund when Mr. Puttaraju was the local legislator.
But, he renamed it 'C.S. Puttaraju Bus-Stand' to lure voters for the August 21 byelections, Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS) leader Shambhuna Halli Suresh had alleged.
EC urged
He had urged the EC to initiate action against the JD(S) leader.

International Trends in the Regulation of the Financial Services SectorGeorge GilliganUniversity of New South Wales April 9, 2002 The Australian Journal of Corporate Law, Vol.14, No.1, pp. 57-73, 2002 Abstract: This paper discusses the regulatory role of certain international organizations in the financial services sector. The regulatory initiatives of some organizations such as the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) have been widely accepted without controversy. However, some of the initiatives of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have been criticized as impinging on national legal systems and accepted notions of national sovereignty. The paper discusses these issues in the context of constructions of legitimacy in the regulation of financial markets.

The Celtic languages are a language family inside of the Indo-European languages. There are six Celtic languages still spoken in the world today, spoken in north-west Europe. They are divided into two groups, the Goidelic (or Gaelic) and the Brythonic (or British).
The three Goidelic languages still spoken are Irish, Scottish, and Manx. Scottish is the main language spoken in parts of north-west Scotland and Irish is the main language spoken in the Gaeltacht in Ireland. Manx is spoken mainly by people interested in the language.
The three Brythonic languages are Welsh, Cornish, and Breton. Of these Cornish became extinct in the 18th century but people have started speaking it again now. Welsh is spoken everywhere throughout Wales, but is mainly the first language for people in the western part of Wales, in the area some people call the Bro Gymraeg. Breton is spoken mainly in west Brittany. Breton is the only Celtic language not mainly spoken in the British Isles.
Scottish Gaelic also has a native community of speakers in Canada where it was once very widely spoken, and there are Welsh speakers in Patagonia, Argentina.

Another day lost at Colwyn Bay
Glamorgan and Yorkshire suffered a second consecutive day's washout in their LV= County Championship Division Two match at Colwyn Bay.
Both have brought up unwanted landmarks: Glamorgan have now lost 1,046 overs of championship cricket this season to Yorkshire's 1,055.
Just like the second day, the umpires - Mark Benson and Paul Baldwin - called an early lunch and then abandoned play at 12:15pm because of persistent rain.
With more inclement weather forecast, prospects for the final day tomorrow are not good. No play has been possible since the first afternoon when Glamorgan had reached 117 for three from 34 overs.

July 29, 2007/ Punch
First Bank of Nigeria Plc on Friday surprised shareholders by announcing a dividend of N1 and another bonus issue for the year ended March 31, 2007.
The bank , which has been consistent with its bonus issue, had given a one-for-one bonus last year, which raised its paid shares to 10.4 billion shares.
Some investors were not too sure if the bank would give another bonus, given the fact that its hybrid offer of over three billion shares had just closed. It was reasoned that another bonus issue would further swell its number of shares, thereby making its difficult for the bank to service in terms of dividend payout.
However, the bank announced a dividend of N1 and a bonus of one new share for every six shares already held on Friday. This dividend and bonus followed an improved financial performance for the year ended March 31, 2007, where the bank recorded gross earnings of N90.32bn, up from the N67.44bn posted in 2006.
Profit after tax and extra-ordinary items (amortization of goodwill) rose from N15.4bn in 2006 to N18.4bn. Positive response to the results boosted the share price of FBN by 15 per cent or N6.36 from N40.40 to close at N46.36 per share.
Market operators said that the price of the stock would witness more growth this week due to high demand by investors willing to benefit from the bonus and dividend.
However, only shareholders whose names would be in the bank's register as at August 20, 2007 would benefit. This implies that those investors who bought the last public offering may not benefit because they are yet to become shareholders of the bank as the offer is still being processed.
Although the results of the bank's last offer are still being expected, it was said that the offer was highly patronised.
The bank intends to use the net proceeds of N96bn from the offer as follows: Expansion of branch network (N21.93bn); modernisation of branch network (N12.23n); strategic business development (N10.2bn); increase in equity investment in subsidiaries (N11bn);
investment in new subsidiaries (N7bn); increase in working capital (N27.14bn) and expansion and upgrading of IT infrastructure (N6.4bn).
The Managing Director/Chief Executive, First Bank, Mr. Jacobs Ajekigbe, had promised that the bank would not let down, stockbrokers and other stakeholders.
"We will not let you down in terms of your expectation of us. We shall continue to institutionalise corporate integrity, excellent customer service and self-reinforcing wealth creation process. We will also remain committed to the development of the Nigerian economy,� he said.
According to him, the bank has experienced dynamic, focused and competent management team that will make it remain a clear leader in the industry.
"It has wide branch network which cuts across all parts of

Social Science Research Methods (Education) (MSc/PgDip)
1 year (Full-time) / 2 years (Part-time) / n/a (Distance / E-Learning)
The information below relates to the Education pathway of the MSc/PgDip Social Science Research Methods programme.
Special Features of the Education pathway
Research training in Education builds on the internationally recognised research carried out by academic staff within the Cardiff School of Social Sciences. Students benefit from the specialist expertise in education research was well as from the interdisciplinary profile of the School and the wider Cardiff University Research and Graduate School (RGS) in the Social Sciences, which acts as a focal point for students from social science departments throughout the University.
In addition to the taught elements of the MSc and the +3 Training Programme, students are also encouraged to attend and participate in the activities of the School's many research groups. Education students are formally located into at least one of the following research groups:
- Education Policy Analysis
- Childhood
- Ethnography, Culture and Interpretive Analysis
- Sexualities and Gender
- Work, Employability and Labour Markets
- Culture, Imagination & Practice
These groups hold regular programme of meetings which provide opportunities for researchers to share ideas and discuss issues in the policy and practice of education-related research.
Testimonial of an Education pathway graduate
"The Education pathway provides a comprehensive amalgamation of qualitative and quantitative courses focused in theory, methods, analysis and application which have equipped me with skills to engage in a variety of research fields. As mature student, who was changing career paths and had not been in formal higher education for over a decade, I was particularly apprehensive about taking on the SSRM at Cardiff University; however, I found the faculty to be accessible, helpful and supportive in helping me to find my own pathway to success. I gained a firm foundation from which to springboard my PhD research, where I can explore the possible impact and policy implications of my research."
SSRM graduate (Education pathway) more student views
Description of the Education pathway
This research training programme is now well-established and has been recognised by the ESRC for a number of years. Students undertaking the MSc in Social Science Research Methods take both generic research methods training and the subject specific content required for becoming competent educational researchers.
For the taught component, students will be required to complete six 20-credit modules (5 core research modules and 1 pathway module). In all modules students have the opportunity to engage with literature and research relevant to their pathway (Education).
Education Module | Debates in Educational Research - Autumn Term: This module aims to familiarise students with the underlying principles and philosophical assumptions of educational research. It explores shifting trends in educational research and how these are related to enduring debates around the nature of evidence and the relationship to professional practice and policy formation. These debates themselves reflect competing definitions of the nature and purpose of education |
Foundations in Social Research | Autumn term: The module introduces philosophical/theoretical concepts alongside practical issues of research method choice and design. |
Qualitative Research Methods | Autumn & Spring: This main aim of the module is to provide knowledge, training and practice in the collection, analysis and representation of qualitative data. |
Quantitative Research Methods | Autumn & Spring: This module introduces students to the systematic collection and analysis of quantitative data, including a broad range of commonly used statistical techniques. |
Research Applications | Spring term: This module critically explores the various applications of research to different settings. Students tailor their learning by selecting from a menu of options. |
Core Competencies for Postgraduate Social Scientists | Autumn & Spring: This module introduces students to essential postgraduate social science survival skills. The module ends with an end-of-year Student Conference. |
Timetables for the 2013/14 session are available to download:
The dissertation in the Education pathway
On successful completion of the taught component, students prepare a dissertation (of a maximum 20,000 words) to be submitted by mid-September. The 60-credit dissertation component requires independent study. Dissertation topics are chosen by the students in agreement with their supervisors.
Recent Education pathway thesis titles include:
- 'School – Level Factors Associated with Entry to Prestigious Universities'
- 'What's Occurrin' wit' d'em Black Boyz in School?'
- The experiences and outcomes of visually impaired people in further education in Wales
- The social construction of individual and educational 'success' in a context of economic uncertainty: A comparative study of Britain and Singapore
- Exploring the self perception of higher education students diagnosed as dyslexic
Entry Requirements for the Education pathway

This course is suitable for graduates in social science and cognate disciplines including sociology, politics, critical psychology, education, social policy and social work, criminology, management and business studies, history, area studies, geography, pedagogy, public administration, industrial and employee relations, and law.

Fresh clashes between Muslims and Buddhists broke out in volatile western Myanmar, leaving at least three people dead and hundreds of homes burned to the ground, authorities said on Tuesday.
The unrest, which erupted on Sunday at night, is one of the worst reported between Rohingya Muslims and ethnic Rakhine Buddhists since skirmishes swept the region in June, leaving around 70,000 people displaced.
Rakhine State Attorney-General Hla Thein said the latest violence took place in Minbyar Township, about 25 km north of the coastal State capital, Sittwe. It later spread farther north to Mrauk-U Township. Both areas are remote, reachable only by foot, Mr. Hla Thein said.
Monday's riots took the lives of one Buddhist man and two Muslim women, he said. More than 340 homes were also destroyed.
Authorities imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in the townships on Monday and both areas were calm on Tuesday, Mr. Hla Thein said.
The unrest comes four months after the two communities turned on one another across Rakhine state in June.The June violence left at least 90 people dead and more than 3,000 homes destroyed, along with dozens of mosques and monasteries. The two communities are almost now completely segregated in towns like Sittwe, where the Rakhines are able to roam freely while the Rohingyas live mostly confined to a series of displaced camps outside the city centre.
The crisis in Myanmar's west goes back decades and is rooted in a dispute over where the region's Muslims are really from. Though many Rohingyas have lived in Myanmar for generations, they are denigrated here as foreigners who came from Bangladesh.
