Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Probability, Markov Chains, Queues, and Simulation provides a modern and authoritative treatment of the mathematical processes that underlie performance modeling. The detailed explanations of mathematical derivations and numerous illustrative examples make this textbook readily accessible to graduate and advanced undergraduate students taking courses in which stochastic processes play a fundamental role. The textbook is relevant to a wide variety of fields, including computer science, engineering, operations research, statistics, and mathematics.
The textbook looks at the fundamentals of probability theory, from the basic concepts of set-based probability, through probability distributions, to bounds, limit theorems, and the laws of large numbers. Discrete and continuous-time Markov chains are analyzed from a theoretical and computational point of view. Topics include the Chapman-Kolmogorov equations; irreducibility; the potential, fundamental, and reachability matrices; random walk problems; reversibility; renewal processes; and the numerical computation of stationary and transient distributions. The M/M/1 queue and its extensions to more general birth-death processes are analyzed in detail, as are queues with phase-type arrival and service processes. The M/G/1 and G/M/1 queues are solved using embedded Markov chains; the busy period, residual service time, and priority scheduling are treated. Open and closed queueing networks are analyzed. The final part of the book addresses the mathematical basis of simulation.
Each chapter of the textbook concludes with an extensive set of exercises. An instructor's solution manual, in which all exercises are completely worked out, is also available (to professors only).
Professors: A supplementary Solutions Manual is available for this book. It is restricted to teachers using the text in courses. For information on how to obtain a copy, refer to: http://press.princeton.edu/class_use/solutions.html

Let us take you on a journey to hidden gems within the Rock Island, offering pristine coral gardens, reef fish nurseries, hidden lagoons, marine caves, limestone tunnels, forgotten WWII sites, ancient Palauan villages, and breathtaking tropical beaches, which are often accessible with certain tidal conditions.
Our daily kayak tours are a relaxing yet exciting educational experience for all, a balanced mix of paddling, snorkeling, birding, and exploring, through Palau's diverse biological environment.
Guests leave Sam's Tours by speedboat and are dropped at the tour's location in the Rock Islands, the boat shadows the tour until it brings you back to the dive shop, for an afternoon cold beer and snacks at Bottom Time Bar and Grill. A perfect experience for outdoors fans, snorkelers, and divers alike!
Sam's Tours offers four different kayak tours, giving you the chance to explore a variety of different habitats within Palau's Rock Islands. Learn the history of the archipelago, and open your eyes to the amazing beauty around you. Our tour offering includes: Nikko Bay, Risong Bay, Long Lake, and Tarzan Tour.
What should you bring (on all tours): hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, light rain jacket, camera and footwear. Snorkeling gear is included if you haven't got your own. Water, lunch and refreshments are provided on all Sam's Tours activities.
This is an excellent tour for kids and adventurers. This well-sheltered bay holds pristine coral gardens with world-class snorkeling, hidden marine caves full of geologic wonders, and forgotten WWII bunkers and artifacts. When the tides are just right we're able to sneak through a marine tunnel into a normally inaccessible world called Disney Lake.
Nikko Bay is nestled by castle-like walls of the limestone rock islands providing calm water paddling undisturbed by wind, waves, surf or surge. This fortress also protects corals from physical damage, allowing for the multi-species assemblages to grow into an impressive array of "old growth coral forests." In snorkel sites like Lettuce Coral Wall, Rembrandt's Cove, and Disney Bay, giant basket-like coral formations grow right up to the surface of the sea. We respect this showcase of nature's greatest accomplishments by not allowing the use of fins. Our naturalist tour guides will explain the ecological significance of these treasured coral forests.
As the best day care system nature can create, Nikko Bay 's delicate nature is an ideal habitat for baby reef fish. Snorkeling amongst ancient coral colonies our experienced guides lead guests to secret nursery sites where baby fish can live and grow before moving on to the outer reef.
Nikko Bay is also home to an awesome variety of limestone caves, marine tunnels, and natural archways. Paddling through the castle walls, one is left to wonder if nature herself designed the Rock Islands for the silent kayak. Sunken shipwrecks and forgotten bunkers, littered with artifacts, soundlessly beg us to reflect on the drama of the Second World War's Pacific Theatre. >> Back to top
Hidden within Risong Bay's arm-like walls, six secretive pockets of bays and lagoons allow kayaks to easily pass through tunnel entrances to shallow lakes and bays where speed boats just can't reach. For millennia, these bays have served as nurseries for baby sharks, stingrays, and eagle rays. As we paddle quietly amongst these youngsters, they hone their hunting and feeding skills before they graduate to the outer reef. Our Risong tours also take you to pristine coral gardens such as Blue Devil Gardens and the Sunken City . Undisturbed by divers or fisherman, these habitats are rich marine biodiversity centers bursting with baby butterfly fish, honeycomb groupers, and the unusual crocodile fish.
The tranquil waters of Risong also allow us to explore the unusual botanical wonders of our remote archipelago. Dragon Palms strive to reach out past all other competitors for life-giving sunlight while treacherous pitcher plants wait anxiously for their next insect meal. For centuries Palauans have utilized this botanical cornucopia for their medicines, dyes, and poisons.
Risong's grand finale, a turquoise oasis known as Mandarin Fish Lake treats paddlers and snorkelers to the ultimate tropical haven. After winding through a channel filled with pink sea fans, you will enter crystal blue waters purified by a natural limestone filter. Separated from the world, we swim amongst Pajama Cardinal Fish, Red Breasted Wrasse, Colorful Clams, and the lake's name sake, the unforgettable multi-colored Mandarin Fish. >> Back to top
This tour is a naturalist's dream come true. The tour begins with a gentle ride along tidal currents through a crystal clear mangrove forest. This effortless journey through exotic plants and mysterious sounds eventually leads us into the best birding experience in Palau, Long Lake. This long saltwater lake is a tranquil habitat for nesting birds, baby eagle rays, turtles and giant clams. We combine this experience with visits to Megapod beach, Secret Lake and the unbelievable waters of the Milky Way.
Motor-less kayaks certainly have their benefits, as rising tides carry us through a mile-long, winding mangrove forest channel. As we slip effortlessly through this unique clear water river, the forest resonates with the calls of our endemic birds. Kingfishers, Palauan Flycatchers, and Fruit Doves can all be seen and heard while drifting past the overhanging mangrove forest trees. There's time to admire Curtain Ferns, Bird Nest Ferns, and Epiphytic Mosses dripping from the rain forest canopy above. Once inside the lake, we watch for baby Spotted Eagle Rays and juvenile Feather Tail Stingrays, which glide over the shallow sandy bottom in search of their meals.
Einstein's Coral Gardens, fed by the 250 foot long "Tunnels of Doom", is a multi-colored collections of brain coral, unique to this singular location. Physical protection for wind and waves, shade from overhanging trees, as well as an inordinate nutrient flow, all combine to create a one of a kind coral garden in only a few feet of water. There will be time enough to have the privilege to snorkel and admire these ancient brain coral colonies.
The long lake tour also includes a stop at Megapode Beach, where powder white sands lead to a rich tropical rainforest. Kayakers can also enjoy the solitude of Secret Lake. Accessible only at low tide via an arch-like tunnel, this natural pavilion is a sheltered habitat for multi-colored sponges, sea squirts, and soft corals.
If tide and time allow, we'll visit the sunken WWII Japanese Zero fighter plane. This classic 1940 aircraft dominated the Pacific skies until 1944 when US Hellcats, Corsairs, and P-38 Lightnings evened the score. As the Zero sits in only 3-4 feet of water, it's possible to slip back into the pilot's seat and relive the drama of aerial combat.
The mysterious chalky waters of the Milky Way were formed by millions of years of calcium carbonate, which accumulated in this unusual geologic phenomena. Unique to the waters of Palau, the silty bottom turns "The Milk Way" to a completely opaque sky blue color. >> Back to top
The mysterious chalky waters of the Milky Way were formed by millions of years of calcium carbonate, which accumulated in this unusual geologic phenomena. Unique to the waters of Palau, the silty bottom turns "The Milk Bowl" to a completely opaque sky blue.
For the adventure-seeker, our hand-crafted Tarzan Tour has earned its reputation as an action-packed series of quests. Beginning in the isolated Lost Take, where we paddle through a forty-foot tunnel carpeted with pink and purple Dendronepthya soft corals, we enter a forgotten world where baby fishes dart and dash amongst the delicate corals of this landlocked marine lake.
After paddling through a labyrinth of islands west of Ngeruktabel, we drift into the turquoise waters of Belochel Bay. As the tide continues to drop, thrill-seeking snorkelers with dive lights in hand enter the darkness of a secret tunnel passage. Filled with Arabian Cowries and brightly colored Nudibranchs, this winding limestone maze leads to the secluded Tarzan Lake, where Banded Pipe Fish and unusual Fungus Corals enjoy a remote habitat seen by so few.
Then take a free dive into the shadows of the Blue Room, a limestone cave that radiates the soft blue light reflected from the clear waters of Palau's lagoon. Discovered by Paddling Palau's founder, the multi-chambered cavern features hanging stalactites, soda straws, and "the Bees Hive". Extreme adventurers may venture with tier guide into the distant "Ice Room."
Soft Coral Arch, The Natural Arch, and The Dreadlock Cave are all added bonuses to this exhilarating day. For our grand finale, our acrobatic guides may demonstrate vertical cliff jumps and rope swings. >> Back to top
Paddling Palau has been offering luxury kayak, snorkeling, & camping safaris for over a decade. The safaris include our hand crafted itineraries which allow our guests to enjoy "Palau's Greatest Hits" as well as many of our best kept secrets.

Special Correspondent
Party under pressure from Telangana leaders
HYDERABAD: The much-awaited five-member core committee of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) will begin in the presence of party president N. Chandrababu Naidu at Devupalli village in Vizianagaram on Wednesday amidst lot of expectations and conflicting claims by leaders.
If the run up to the meeting is any indication, the meeting could see seniors wracking their brains and wrangling over the ticklish issue of Telangana.
During the last few days, the party had seen seniors sparring openly over Telangana, notwithstanding Mr. Naidu's caution against expressing their views in public.
Anticipating trouble
It is anticipating trouble that the venue of the meeting has bee shifted from Hyderabad to Vizianagaram and a fire-fighting team put in place.
Yet there is no guarantee that the meeting will not be a stormy one with the party finding itself under pressure especially from a majority of Telangana leaders to take a pro-Telangana line.
Leaders favouring this line and those for an integrated State stand were seen preparing themselves for the meeting on Tuesday though it has been made clear that it will only discuss modalities for its functioning.
Senior TDP leader T. Devender Goud, who is at the forefront of this inner- party struggle, is believed to have discussed the issue with colleague, a Telangana Armed Struggle veteran, Ch. Rajeswara Rao, for nearly three hours.
The latter reportedly presented facts and figures of how injustice was done to Telangana and his book on the subject.
It has to be seen how Mr. Goud puts forward his argument, as the perception in the party is that he is the only one in the five-member committee to take such a tough line.
All others, including another senior Telangana leader Nagam Janardhan Reddy, want the party to maintain its time-tested integrated State stand.
Mr. Goud and Dr. Janardhan Reddy left for Visakhapatnam en route Vizianagaram while the other three members -- K. Yerran Naidu, Yanamala Ramakrishnudu and K. E. Krishnamurthy -- will join them there.

Author Scott Cheshire, who recently served drinks on "Bravo's Watch What Happens Live," spent his youth as a minister, preaching door-to-door and giving sermons. Born and raised a Jehovah's Witness, he was steeped in the faith's apocalyptic visions.
The title of his debut novel, "High as the Horses' Bridles," comes from the Book of Revelation -- it's how deep the blood of sinners will flow in the end times. It's a work of fiction that wrestles with ideas of faith and fatherhood, a modern New York as well as life on its margins.
The novel follows Josiah Laudermilk, age 12, from the moment he stands before a congregation 4,000 strong and captivates them to decades later when he has left the church. He returns home to Queens to care for his father, who is slipping into a spiritually canted senility.
Cheshire, who lives in New York, chatted with us by phone about his fears while writing the novel, what he discovered in the appendices of New World Bibles and what his parents, still both practicing Jehovah's Witnesses, think of the book.
Cheshire will be appearing at Skylight Books on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
There are some obvious similarities between you and your protagonist Josie. How much of the novel would you consider autobiographical?
I was a child preacher, but a lot of kids were in my culture; so I definitely drew on that. The evocation of Queens was important to me because I'm from Queens. But I also wanted to write about Southern California because I had lived in Seal Beach for a few years, and I found it to be a strange, quiet and beautiful place. My time in Southern California really informed my romantic vision of Southern California.
You had a dream of a painted ceiling in the theater owned by the Jehovah's Witnesses and began writing this novel the next day. The images of the ceiling are described in great detail throughout the book. What was it about the dream and the image of the ceiling that was so powerful?
It's based on an actual ceiling in a theater in New Jersey. In my memory, the ceiling is that vivid. I think what struck me was that I actually did have that dream. I'm very interested in dreams — I think there's often something present in dreams that we're not really sure of. But it's there, and it's up to you to parse it and open it up.
I started writing a description of the ceiling because I was trying to figure what it was within that dream that came up in my subconscious. And as I was writing the description, it hit me that there was this really lovely but disturbing irony. We were a mixed people who were imagining a heavenly, celestial life, but doing it underneath a fake heaven.
Did the dream reveal to you that subconsciously you hadn't completely worked out issues you had within the religion and the community as a child?
Absolutely. I feel like I should lay down on a couch right about now.
I have never written about where I came from. This is the first time I've actually done that. I've been told by writer friends and writer teachers that I needed to finally start doing that. And I think the dream partially was my own interior self telling me to do that as well.
The book, in many ways, is about a young guy trying to run away from, but also embrace, his own religious heritage. And while writing the book, that became the experience for me.
Throughout the novel, you move back and forth in time, and in and out of Josie's perspective as a child and as an adult. Why did you make this stylistic choice?
A lot of these things tend to happen while in the writing process. The only thing I knew from the beginning that I deliberately wanted was to write a book that had a hole in it.
I was trying to write about the loss of faith. And I'm not really sure that's something you can articulate, because it's not a thing that actually happens like, "I lost it on a Tuesday in 1996." The whole middle section of the book is about Josie having to find his place in the world and trying to understand the present — the now. I felt the best way to do that was for Josie to constantly circle around himself. It's taking place now but he's remembering what happened in the immediate past and what happened in the long past.
You began questioning your religion after reading the appendix of the New World Bible. What did you find in there that led you to question?
It's not so much that it got me questioning; what it did was it sent me to outside sources. Despite the fact that I'm not a particularly religious person, I have a religious dent — I have this inherent desire to figure out the secretive meaning of things.
When I started reading the appendices of Bibles, they would send me to other sources, things like commentaries or apocryphal books. And those sources started putting the Bible into context and I started getting interested in the history of the book. Eventually, I started reading other books that used the Bible as a source, like "Moby Dick" or "Gilead" by Marilynne Robinson.

SANTA ANA – Eleven jurors complained Wednesday that the 12th member of their panel was not listening to their arguments in an assault and kidnapping case, but the holdout juror insisted he was doing his civic duty and was properly participating in the deliberating process.
All 12 jurors eventually agreed on one thing: that further deliberations would not produce verdicts.
Superior Court Judge Frank F. Fasel reluctantly declared a mistrial in an assault and kidnap case against Ruthie Marshall, a 41-year-old Garden Grove woman with ties to white supremacy gangs. He ordered Marshall returned to court on Oct. 28 for a re-trial.
It was the eighth time this year that mistrials have been ordered in major trials in Orange County courtrooms because of deadlocked juries – in several cases the final votes were 11-1 in favor of guilt. Most cases, like Marshall's, have been re-scheduled for second trials. In one case, there will be a third trial.
"That's an awful lot," said defense attorney Jack Earley.
He suggested that it indicates the trial-by-jury system is working as it should in Orange County. "The system is protected by the one, rather than protected by the 11," Earley said.
Earley also added the belief by some that judges could impanel 12 jurors off the streets of Orange County and most would side with the prosecution is waning.
Assistant District Attorney Rosanne Froeberg has also noticed an increase in hung juries lately.
She said that in some cases, judges in criminal cases limit the amount of time that attorneys on both sides can question prospective jurors, which can hamper the ability to ferret out people who may not be a good fit for a particular jury.
"But we are strong proponents of the jury system," Freoberg added.
The re-trials are costly. Some estimates are that it costs up to $10,000 per day to pay for one Superior Court department. The trials can tie up courtroom for weeks, thus taking up time for judges, clerks, reporters and bailiffs. Many of the hung juries involved defense attorneys who were court-appointed, requiring that they be re-appointed, or they involved attorneys in the public defender's office. And the Orange County District Attorney's Office must staff the re-trials as well, often with their best and highest-paid prosecutors.
The other hung jury/mistrials in Orange County in 2011:
In June, a mistrial was declared in the trial of three people charged with attempted murder and mayhem for the machete attack on a Fountain Valley man in March 2008.
The eight-woman, four-man jury deliberated for two days before announcing it could not reach a verdict on any defendant in the March 3, 2008, predawn attack on Frank Richard Sharpski, 49. He was seriously injured when he was slashed by a man in dark clothing who came out of the darkness and started whacking away with a steel machete.
Jurors said later they split at 9-3 in favor of guilty against a Sana Ana man accused of being the machete-wielding attacker. But the deadlock was more evenly split in the votes on the two remaining defendants, who were charged as co-conspirators.
In May, a mistrial was declared in the murder trial of a Santa Ana woman accused in the beating death of her 4-year-old son in May 2008 when the jury deadlocked at 11-1 in favor of conviction after two days of increasingly heated deliberations.
Gabriela Mariana Morales, 28, who was charged with second-degree murder, assault on a child likely to produce death and child abuse will be retried.
Superior Court Judge John D. Conley said he thought the holdout juror was irrational and illogical, but felt he was participating in deliberations.
A mistrial was declared earlier in May when a jury deadlocked at 11-1 in favor of a first-degree murder conviction for a 26-year-old Santa Ana man accused of fatally stabbing a former roommate to end an argument that began after an all-day drinking session.

NIST seeks public input on BIOS security guidelines
Monday - 1/9/2012, 8:26am EST
The National Institute of Standards and Technology wants your input on how to make BIOS security guidelines better. BIOS are what boot up the hardware before a computer's operating system starts. The agency is asking for comments on new draft BIOS security guidelines. They will be meant for vendors and security professionals. In September, Symantec discovered malware that burrows into BIOS. NIST says it wants to head off a threat that could lead to more sophisticated attacks on organizations.

How can we get our toddler to stay in bed?
My wife is pregnant, so we moved our 23-month-old daughter out of the crib to a 'big bed.' Without the crib to restrain her, she keeps getting up. It seems like we spend half the evening trying to get her settled down! How can we teach such a young child to go to bed and stay there?

Here are my techniques to get a toddler to stay in bed-- I'm a pediatrician and mom of 5 and I've tried it all: http://childrensmd.org/browse-by-age-group/toddler-pre-school/get-2-year-old-stay-bed/posted 05/19/2014 by MomDocKathleen
We started this with our daughter at 17 months. During a vacation at her grandpa's she started climbing out of her pack and play, so when we got home I switched her crib to a toddler bed and added the rail that came with it. We would rather she fell 2 feet vs. 4 feet if she climbed out if her crib. we have some fights some times, especially when she hasn't napped during the day, but we rock and read books, then if she wants to rock to sleep, I will do that, otherwise she will ask to lay in her bed. We started out with me laying in the toddler bed next to her, now we sit on the floor or in the rocker. She is 21 months now and is really trying to drop her afternoon (and only) nap, so some days are harder than others, but we work on it every day!posted 05/05/2014 by simplyrebecca
In hindsight I couldn't agree more with the last poster's comments! It was like we needed to retrain ourselves to accept what would be would be and just let go. My twins are now 6 and are still little night owls. But we have a bedtime routine and they stay in their beds now (for the most part) and chat and play with their toys (in bed) until they just fall asleep. They ask for drinks and potty time a few times a night, but it's minimal. And talking with other parents in their class, I've found it's totally normal and their experiences are very similar as ours :) Hang in there, it does get better!!!posted 04/08/2014 by sb1971
You're fighting a losing battle. It's like going to college – there's so much freedom, who wouldn't take advantage of it? It's a healthy thing for them to do. My belief is that they'll get tired when they get tired and then they'll fall asleep. As long as they're safe in the room (remote any dangerous stuff or anything you really don't want them getting into) and can't get out (one of those safety doorknobs things works for us), what's the harm? My 20-month-old has been in a toddler bed for a month and usually explores for a while and then gets into bed and falls asleep. Or he'll fall asleep on the floor or the chair – no biggie. Just make sure the light is off or really really dim so that melatonin can start following and they can get sleepy naturally.posted 04/08/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
We have tried this Supernanny technique with our 2 year old son. He climbed out of his cot otherwise he would still be in it! We are now at week 4 - first 2 weeks took 45mins to an hour every night. 3rd week my husband started to sit on the top step and then he would stay in his room. He doesn't respond as well to me even though I do exactly the same thing as my husband. This has all coincided with the arrival of our daughter so I know this is playing a part. However, his timing of climbing out of the cot is not something we could do anything about! He finds the whole coming out of the room and being taken back a big game. He runs back and gets back into bed himself laughing. We tuck him in, no talking or eye contact and the minute I am out of the door he is running out after me waiting to be chased/taken back. This last week has just been a mess and we are exhausted. Tonight he was put to bed at 7:30 and was finally asleep by 9:20. Does anyone have any tips/advice? Should I just wait for him to adjust to his sister and then expect results?posted 03/31/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
my 18 month old has jumped out of her crib and trying a bed and what can I do to keep her in bed to sleep???posted 01/26/2014 by skylite773
Guys thank you so much for your answers - My son has always slept well until being unwell a few weeks back - He was not breathing very well so I done the bad thing and brought him into bed with us. He now wakes up without fail every morning between 1 and 4 and SCREEEEEEAMS until we go get him into our bed. Putting him back didnt work and ignoring him didnt work. But i feel I need to be a little more tough and not talk to him and just place him back. As we both work full time I feel I bring him in just to get a sleep, but for the greater good I must be strong - Wish us luck :)posted 01/06/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
My child has been an angel sleeper until now. We moved him into a converted toddler bed at 18 months bc I'm prego and he did fine transitioning at first. Then we put up a baby gate a few weeks later bc he was coming out of his room and that worked for like 4 months and now at 21 months he climbed over the baby gate so we decided to train him to stay in bed by the "super nanny approach" just putting him back in his bed until he stays. It has been a week and we have had good and bad days but are not successful yet. But the last 2 nights I have literally put him back in his bed like 30 times last night and 60 or 60 nights tonight. 2 straight hours. He was coming out until he could hardley stand up or see straight bc I could tell he was soo tired. He could Hardly keep his eyes open. I am feeling very discouraged but I read that if you are consistant and do it that this approach does work. It does not seem to be working .... What do I do? Should I stick with it? Please help!posted 12/09/2013 by megtel

Anaglyph Image of Vesta's South Polar Region
November 6, 2012
July 18, 2011 - PASADENA, Calif. -- This anaglyph image of the south polar region of the asteroid Vesta was put together from two clear filter images, taken on July 9, 2011 by the framing camera instrument aboard NASA's Dawn spacecraft. Each pixel in this image corresponds to roughly 2.2 miles (3.5 kilometers). The anaglyph image shows the rough topography in the south polar area, the large mountain, impact craters, grooves, and steep scarps in three dimensions. The diameter of Vesta is about 330 miles (530 kilometers). Use red-green (or red-blue) glasses to view in 3-D (left eye: red; right eye: green [or blue]).

Contrary to urban beliefs, crimes against women in rural India, especially those from weaker sections, are on the rise
The rape of a young woman in a moving bus in Delhi last December shook the nation's conscience and prompted thousands to take to the streets. One of the questions the incident raised was whether women were more unsafe in an urban setting rather than in a rural one. Mohan Bhagwat, head of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), had argued then that rapes hardly take place in rural India, where presumably there is greater adherence to social norms. The reality, however, is very different.
A recent news report quoting statistics from court data, collated by an associate professor of Delhi's National Law University, showed that 75 per cent of India's rape convictions were for crimes that took place in rural areas. The predominantly rural state of Madhya Pradesh, for instance, led with the highest number of rapes every year for the last two decades.
Take the mysterious deaths of three under-teen sisters in Murmadi village in Maharashtra's Bhandara district, who went missing from school, for example. Their bodies were found dumped in a 30-feet-deep well located, just three minutes away from National Highway 6.
On a visit to the village shortly after the incident, it was appalling to see how casually the local police had handled the case. The traumatised mother of the girls sat on a cot in one corner of her in-laws' home. When her daughters had not come back home until 6 p.m. on February 14 their grandfather went to lodge a complaint at the nearby Lakhni police station; the mother was called to the police station.
She recalled: "The police were reluctant to act on our complaint. My daughters kept to themselves. I had no idea that they were being followed. It was only on February 16 that we heard that some bodies had been found in a well, two km from our home." Holding her head in her hands, she added mournfully, "After I lost my husband a few years ago, my daughters were my source of strength. All I want today is justice; the perpetrators must be given the harshest punishment."
Initially, the police claimed that the girls had been raped. Later, they went back on that version. The real story, in fact, remains untold and will be a constant reminder of the inherent insecurity that marks the lives of girls in rural India.
There are similar stories across the country. Recently, a woman was raped after she alighted from a train in Bihar. Her body was later found hanging from a tree in a nearby village. Incidents of Dalit women being stripped and paraded naked occur with frightening regularity.
In mid-January, 42 relatives of rape victims from different States travelled to Delhi and assembled at Jantar Mantar for a public hearing organised by All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA). Among the nine persons from Haryana whose testimonies were heard at this gathering was a farm labourer from the Sansi tribe of Kalsi village in Haryana's Karnal. His 15-year-old daughter was abducted by two upper-caste men last August. She was later dumped near her village in a semi-conscious state. The accused threatened to kill the girl's parents if they complained, but the mother was determined to seek justice. A few days later, the mother was found dead near a canal; she was sexually assaulted and strangulated. The accused were arrested only on September 14 and that was because of AIDWA's intervention.
Jagmati Sangwan, national vice president of AIDWA, said: "This family is under huge stress. It has been six months but all that the family has got so far is Rs. 20,000 by way of compensation."
Dalit girls are at the receiving end of such attacks because they are trying to empower themselves by getting enrolled in schools. Ms. Sangwan explained, "This is a very deep-rooted problem arising from patriarchy and economic dominance."
Caste violence against women is marked in rural India. One has only to remember the case of Bhanwari Devi, from the potters' community, who was sexually attacked by upper caste men in her village for raising her voice against child marriage. The incident took place 20 years back but she is still to get justice.
Banwari Devi, fortunately, is strong enough to pursue her case and is determined to get justice some day. The same cannot be said for the three little sisters of Murmadi village. Very soon, they will be forgotten and the well in which their tiny bodies were found will become part of a dark village tale.

Paul Anderson did not squat 1200 raw. Period. He probably quarter squatted that amount and people started saying he did a full squat.
I'd say Kaz
Too many different ways to measure strength to choose one guy. Have to say Garry Frank moved some impressive weight though. And in loose gear.
Ed Coan
I go with Kaz
Overall pure static strength probably Kaz or Savickas.
Has anybody else benched 300 kg raw and pulled 400 kg in the deadlift besides Kaz? Garry Frank might have been able to but to my knowledge he never benched raw in a meet.
Kaz so far, with Benni, Savikas, Garry Frank, and Donnie T behind him.....
the big one, and I can't believe I'm the first to post this.....
I will be..... some day.
Jon Cole has been mentioned once and Is definitely deserving of consideration. His 2259 total at 275 and 2364 at 308 (raw, knee wraps only) haven't been broken after 39 years!
I wouldn't say the strongest, but it we are making a list, one not mentioned yet was O.D. Wilson.
He lost WSM in 1990 by just half a point to Jon Pall Sigmarsson.
Squat 462 kilograms (1,019 lb)
Bench Press 257 kilograms (567 lb)
Deadlift 406 kilograms (895 lb)
Total 1,102.5 kilograms (2,431 lb)
IPF champion in 1988.
He won the 1990 Pure Strength competition when Bill Kazmaier was his partner. Kaz told me years ago that if OD hadn't died so young he would have lifted weights that no one ever had. Kaz had a lot of respect for OD.
Kaz, Frank, Bolton... and more recently that big guy that pulled 1015 raw!!! ;)
not even gonna touh this one, just too many variables to say strongest of all time
like for example
- strength relative to size
- lifters and claims of bygone eras, no way to truely be sure of veracity, not like we have video of those feats
- strongest overall, or just really strong at certain feats?
I think jon pall sigmarson & paul anderson are right up there
Since the deadlift is the purest measure of strength, Benedikt Magnusson.

Mr. Colson's book was one of the key books for me when I became an Evangelical. I still enjoyed his articles in Christianity Today and thought how great it would have been if he had taken that last step to cross the Tibor. Oh well – he was still a blessing and God's true servant.

Poster presentation
Recent progress and improvements on optical technology have enabled us to measure the characteristics of the eye in great detail. It has also been shown that, even when myopia and astigmatism are completely corrected with spectacle, the retinal image is still blurred due to uneven refraction power of the cornea and the crystalline lens [1][2], an effect known as "irregular astigmatism". However, almost all researches in visual science assume sharp images as input.
Currently, a large-scale whole visual system models is being developed on a supercomputer to elucidate its complex function [3]. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that the blurred retinal images are gradually compensated at both, the retina and the cortex [4]. Therefore, we have developed an eye optics model which can calculate the blurred retinal image based on known physiological evidences to provide a more realistic input to retinal and visual cortex model.
The proposed model is described by the linear image filter based on Artal's model [5]. It can process multi-spectral image for reproducing the spectral characteristics of photoreceptors. OTF (Optical transfer function) calculated from the wavefront aberration with spectral transmittance of the lens is used for image processing filter. The wavefront aberration is defined by Zernike Coefficients values (measured by wavefront aberrometer such as OPD-Scan or Shack-Hartman Sensor systems) or SCA values (power of sphero-cylindrical lens with its axis for spectacle lens or contact lens prescriptions). To consider the effects of diffraction, OTF is designed to vary depending on pupil diameter and wavelength. To account for aging effects, the spectral transmittance of the lens [6] was also implemented. As inputs of the model, multispectral images taken by multispectral camera or converted from RGB image can be utilized.
We simulated a closed-loop system connecting the proposed model to a simple eye movement model and pupil model. The eye movement model generates random saccades and the pupil model modifies pupil diameter according to the mean luminance of retinal image. As a result, our model could reproduce the effect of chromatic aberration, pupil diameter and age on the blurred retinal image. By applying our model to the large-scale visual system model, it is expected to be able to evaluate the phenomena, for example, age dependent perception on visual illusions, blur compensation in retina or visual cortex, and so on.

Chemotherapy frequency options?
Hi. My father was diagnosed with Stage III colon cancer a few months ago. He has since had a fairly large tumour and 18 inches of his intestine removed. Small traces of cancer were detected by microscope in one of his lymph nodes. He has been told that if he does not enter a chemotherapy program that there is a 40% chance of the cancer returning.
His current chemotherapy regimen includes 5 days straight of treatment, three weeks off, then 5 more days, for a total of six months. However, his side effects are so debilitating that he is considering ceasing his treatment program. Obviously, my family and I are very concerned about what he is considering and are trying to encourage him to have his chemo once a week, every week, for the remaining four months of his program.
Has anyone here changed their regimen from five days to once a week, and if so, did you notice a reduction in the severity of your side effects?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yan'an is a prefecture-level city in the Shanbei region of Shaanxi province, People's Republic of China, bordering Shanxi to the east and Gansu to the west. It administers several counties, including Zhidan, which served as the headquarters of the Chinese Communists before the city of Yan'an proper took that role. Yan'an was near the endpoint of the Long March, and became the center of the Chinese Communist revolution from 1936 to 1948. Chinese communists celebrate Yan'an as the birthplace of the revolution.

The Corporation council meeting on Tuesday witnessed acrimonious scenes with councillors throwing sandals, water bottles, and papers during a discussion to approve the budget for the next financial year. When the councillors of the UDF and the ruling LDF trooped to the centre of the council hall and started shouting, Mayor K. Chandrika adjourned the meeting for the day.
The din started after 5 p.m. as the council was about to wind up the day's proceedings, when UDF councillors led by Johnson Joseph and Maheswaran Nair raised objection to the Mayor's decision to allow Congress councillor Pushpa Latha to speak for more than the allotted 10 minutes.
The UDF councillors stepped to the centre of the hall and entered into an argument with the Mayor. As LDF councillors too joined them, chaos reigned the hall for a few minutes.
Suddenly sandals, bottles, and papers were thrown to the side where the LDF councillors stood and this resulted in a minor scuffle between the ruling party and Opposition councillors. Though the Mayor appealed for calm, the councillors refused to yield and tempers ran high for about 15 minutes, which led to the adjournment.
Later in the day, LDF parliamentary party leader V.S. Padmakumar gave a written complaint to the Mayor seeking action against UDF councillors Maheswaran Nair, Sri Rekha, Sarasamma, Harikumar, and Suresh Kumar for throwing sandals and bottles.
Earlier during the discussion, solid- waste management and frequent disruption in the supply of drinking water dominated the session. The UDF members said none of the schemes in the current budget were implemented and there were no specific schemes in the next year's budget to solve garbage and traffic problems. Budget discussion will resume on Wednesday.

"Kristen Stewart in The Runaways get the rocker look.New production still of Kristen Stewart from "The Runaways"It's hard to not have a girl crush on rock and roll legend Joan Jett.And, for a new generation, it's hard to not be in love with Kristen Stewart.When we got our hands on this brand new movie still of Kristen in "The Runaways," we had to share it with you. But then we were thinking that if you loved Joan Jett from the get go, it was time to take the 70's/80's rock band vibe up a bit with some big girl glam.mediumSo, why not try a Bop Basics Short Sleeve V Neck Burnout T-Shirt that still has the tight rocker look but a little more sheer and sexy?Instead of found and curated tons of silver charms and chains, try a more designer version like the Alice + Olivia Long Crystal Chain Necklace… we love this necklace and can think of sooo many ways to wear it and instantly update our wardrobe.>> Did you remember to SHOP today?You might want to get a punked out shag, some eyeliner, and maybe a black Fender Standard Stratocaster and a few solid years of guitar lessons.

This wine is therefore a supple, Mediterranean-influenced take on the classic Rhône red. A softly textured, ripe, plush Syrah full of blackcurrant and cherry fruit.
Buy 2 or more bottles labelled as part of the 'Mix and Match 33% Off' promotion and save 33%.
Full and fruity, with rounded tannins adding a supporting structure. Try with a cheese board.
Full of damson jam and cassis notes, and that unmistakable 'garrigue' aroma of heather and wild thyme. Plenty of body and soft, ripe tannins. Great with red meats including venison.

Voice of the fans: Chargers vs. Denver
NO RESPECT: I have long respected Ed Hochuli as an NFL referee. That ended Sunday.
DAVE DIAL, San Diego
THE REAL SCORE: Please add (I'd say zebra, but that would give innocent animals a bad name) Ed Hochuli to pioneer Don Denkinger's Sports Officiating Hall of Shame. If the NFL had any integrity, which it does not, the final score would, and by right, should be: Chargers 38, Broncos 31.
DAVE EVANS, Temecula
REAL SCORE II: Final Score: Chargers 38, Denver 24, Referees 15.
DON SPEES, Santee
FIX WAS IN: Not since the 1919 Chicago White Sox has there been a more blatant fix of a professional sports game. The Chargers won this game twice. Why should I be a season ticket holder when the games are fixed? Never before have I seen such a sham!
RICH HEINZ, Ocean Beach
PAGING THE FBI: In the NBA they call officiating like that "point shaving." Perhaps the FBI should launch an investigation.
JEFF GALYARDT, Murietta
A QUESTION: So far, it's been a confusing season. But the most confusing part of the game was I'm not sure who lost the game. Was it the Chargers or the referees?
LINDSEY KHOUNNORAJ, San Diego
WHERE'S GOODELL?: Are you kidding me? Is anyone from the NFL reviewing this officiating atrocity? The commish certainly has cracked down on corruption in the NFL. Ed Hochuli evidently was under the radar.
BOB DISHON, Pacific Beach
HOLY ROLLER REDUX: I didn't know I was watching the WWFR (world's worst football refereeing) league when the climax was Ed "I choked on my whistle" Hochuli making the absolute worst whistle-blowing decision since the Raiders-Chargers fumble decades ago.
CHRIS SCHULTZ, San Diego
NOT SO SUPER: Why even bother playing the game when the referee could have told us who was going to win before it started? Two major blown calls that turned a hard-fought comeback win into another loss. Can anyone remember an instance where an obvious missed call was not overturned due to an equipment malfunction? If the NFL had any integrity, it would nullify the results of this game and replay it. No more Super Bowls for Ed Hochuli.
TOM NICKEL, San Diego
OTHER FACTORS: I'm sure that everyone is writing about that there were a lot of issues with the officiating of the game. Does any other fan also take into consideration that our defense allowed a 100-yard rusher plus a 350-yard passer? The defense has a lot of issues, and must be improved on.
NICK SANTOS, El Centro
MR. VERSATILE: Can Darren Sproles play defense?
JAN STRACK, Oceanside
ONE AT A TIME: Instead of wondering who the Chargers will be facing in the Super Bowl, everyone, Chargers included, should only focus on what is on the plate for the current week. Too much looking ahead and taking things for granted.
JACKSON SILVA, San Diego
AGAIN, TACKLING: Is this an official statistic? I know the Chargers have to lead the league in Yards After Missed Tackles. Heck, Antonio Cromartie couldn't tackle a Broncos running back who caught a pass and fell down as he got up, Cromartie attempted to tackle him (more like a bump) and then the guy picked up 6 or 7 yards. That is when I stopped counting the missed tackles. YAMTs will end this season sooner rather than later.

Dave Eiland out as Yankees pitching coach
Oct 25, 2010, 1:03 PM EDT
We weren't expecting this: Brian Cashman is having his season-in-review press conference at Yankee Stadium, and he just announced that pitching coach Dave Eiland won't be returning in 2011. Cashman said that the reason for the firing is "private," but that it's not a result of the Yankees' poor pitching performance in the ALCS.
The reason behind any given move in the Yankee Universe is hard to suss out these days. Unlike back when The Boss was running things, you can't assume that things are done out of anger or emotion, though of course that could be possible. Unless my old reliable for any unexplained firing — the pilfering of office supplies — is revealed as the reason, my guess is that there were just fundamental disagreements between Eiland ans Girardi about how best to use the staff, how best to figure out A.J. Burnett (Eiland: shock therapy, Girardi: a sound beating) or whatever other pedestrian matters come between a manager and one of his coaches.
And I would guess that Girardi is on board here. All emanations from the Yankees are that they have full confidence in him and Girardi is clear on saying he wants to come back. Indeed, right after announcing the firing of Eiland, Cashman made a point to say that he would be meeting with Girardi's agent tomorrow to discuss a contract extension.
- Kevin S. - Oct 25, 2010 at 1:22 PM
Eiland took a month-long leave of absence during the season, the reason for which the Yankees refused to disclose. If whatever that was is a continuing issue, Cashman may have decided that it impeded his ability to perform his responsibilities, and that would result in a "private" reason for the firing.
- bobbychez - Oct 25, 2010 at 1:37 PM
It was not mentioned that he was fired, this may have been a mutual agreement to part ways.
- Kevin S. - Oct 25, 2010 at 1:50 PM
Cashman said it was his own decision. I think if it was mutual, they would have put that out there.
- bobbychez - Oct 25, 2010 at 2:06 PM
Ah, did not see that. Was just going by what was posted here, silly me thinking all the data would be in this posting.
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - Oct 25, 2010 at 1:58 PM
Strikeouts were down for every Yankee pitcher. Burnett and Vazquez were completely lost. Hughes gave up eleventy million hits and walks after 0-2 counts, and so on and so on. The main reason he got the job was because he had worked with Joba and Phil in the minors, but I don't think their minor league experiences are relevant anymore.
Maybe they will snatch the dude who just left Oakland.
- bloodysock - Oct 25, 2010 at 2:43 PM
Rumor has it that Young is headed to Arizona after departing Oakland.
- pisano - Oct 25, 2010 at 1:59 PM
I don't think this is the case , but if the Yankees think Eiland's failure to help A.J. is cause for his departure , I've got news for them , Jesus Christ can't help A.J. the guys a head case .
- bloodysock - Oct 25, 2010 at 2:44 PM
Suzyn Waldman will announce that Roger Clemens will be the new pitching coach.
- evanava - Oct 25, 2010 at 5:27 PM
Cashman said that the reason for the firing is "private," but that it's not a result of the Yankees' poor pitching performance in the ALCS.
Doesn't anybody read the article for which the commment on…
- jfk69 - Oct 26, 2010 at 1:25 AM
Point one…You take a month off for personal reasons during the season. RED FLAG
Point two…Joba …still lost.
Point three…AJ…COMPLETELY LOST ALL SEASON.
Point four…Seems to work better at the minor league level with developing young pitchers. Maybe over matched dealing with major league starters.
Of course very hard to coach when only have Sabbathia and Hughes in his first season as a starter.
- BC - Oct 26, 2010 at 10:48 AM
Could be medical-related or something of that nature. Publicly commenting on that will get you sued off the face of the earth.
