02.11.05 - By Geoff Mckay: You read it right, the little things, that's the title of this article. How many times have you watched a fight end in an upset, or turn in an unexpected result, only to have analysts in droves point out the little things afterward? Small factors, that when seen in hindsight came together and should have painted an obvious picture of what was about to happen. This time, we are going to try and look at the little things before the fight, and see what conclusion they lead us to.
First of all, there is no way that Rahman should stand a chance in this fight. He gives up height, and brute strength. The shot that Vitali soaked up in the first round of the Sanders fight would have sent Rahman into dreamland, (as Sanders nearly did when he fought Rahman) so you can bet Vitali is more durable. Rahman is the younger man, in fact, when he fights Vitali, he will be 5 days past his 33rd birthday, compared to Vitalis 34. However, in a strange paradox, Rahman is also the older man. He has fewer years under his belt, but he is battle worn, and obviously past his prime, while Vitali seems at the height of his prowess, at least he was before the layoff.
There it is. Ive convinced you right? No? I didnt think so because I havent convinced myself either. There is just something about Rahman. He is impossible to write off.. No matter how many poor performances he turns in, no matter how many trips he takes to the canvas, or the HBO announcers table, no matter how many times he leaves the ring in defeat, you just cant look at the guy and say he has no chance, therefore, we must look deeper. We must examine, the little things.
If you read a few of the analyses that have been written about this fight, most of the credit given to Rahman have been vague - stuff like good boxer, strong puncher, or experienced. I believe these comments are unsuccessful efforts to describe what makes Rahman special. I believe what makes Rahman special is his mentality, in short, his unshakable confidence.
Confidence, thats the word that the analysts should be using. He stands a chance simply because he is confident, that is the elusive factor that everyone sees, but cant put their finger on. When he stands on the podium and tells Vitali Klitschko, along with the rest of the world that he is going to hand Klitschko his first ever knockdown, he sounds believable, because he himself believes it - and that believability catches peoples attention.
Hasim Rahman possesses a self confidence that is almost unshakable, and that is rare. Many are the stories of fighters whose careers were destroyed or damaged by a single, brutal knockout. Oleg Maskaev was on track for a title shot when the Kirk Johnson KO forever reduced him as a fighter. Wladimir Klitschko was considered the most promising heavyweight on the planet when a second round KO robbed him of all his confidence, a tribulation he is only now recovering from. Willie Dewitt, the promising Canadian heavyweight, never returned to prominence after being scorched by Bert Cooper. Michael Grant, Michael Moorer, the list goes on, and lets not forget the most glaring example of all, Roy Jones Jr.
Roy Jones Jr. has demonstrated the power of fear better than any other fighter I know. It was all I could do to sit down and watch the third Jones-Tarver fight. Several times I got up and shut the TV off, only to force myself back again. I couldnt stand seeing Roy Jones do that too himself, especially since it was obvious that the old Roy was still there, in flashes, waiting to come out, but caged by fear.
Tarver was hesitant, and he himself was scared of being tagged. On the two or three occasions Jones actually got aggressive, Tarvers eyes went wide with bewilderment and horror, as he hung on for dear life. You could almost hear him thinking, youre not supposed to be doing that Roy!!! Roy must have heard it too, because he immediately obliged and stopped fighting. In the middle of the fight Roy tagged Tarver with a beautiful counter shot, and the sweat exploded off of Tarvers' head. Although Tarver didnt seem affected by the punch, the truth revealed itself a few seconds later when Jones feinted and Tarver lurched backward across the ring, desperate to avoid being hit again. Jones didnt throw another meaningful punch that round. It is my belief that even now, if Roy Jones Jr. were capable of completely releasing himself from his fear, (get ready for the outcry), he would clean Tarver up within 7, and dominate the whole time.
The fear and self doubt that has so devastated these men, and many others, is completely nonexistent in Rahman, even though he has been knocked out as brutally and suddenly as any of those before him. His KO loss to Maskaev was as devastating as they come. Rahman was winning the fight, he looked sharp, he was controlling Maskaev, and suddenly Jim Lamply was asking him if he knew where, and who he was. How did Rahman respond? Four fights later he was the heavyweight champion of the world. Although he was losing when he knocked out Lewis, he was still confident, and aggressive enough to pursue the opening when he saw it. He won because he believed he could, just like he does now. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and one that speaks volumes is Vitali and Rahmans' face off at the press conference. Vitali is obviously pissed off again, and is glowering down at Hasim. Rahman, while gazing up 5 inches into Vitalis eyes, is emotionless, no fear when nature says it should be there. It kind of reminded me of an animal on the railroad tracks, curiously gazing at that bright light coming swiftly toward it.
Another little thing is Vitalis inactivity. We have no way of knowing how this has affected him until we see him fight, but we may have inadvertently been given a couple of clues. First of all, Vitali went through back surgery, so we can be sure he hasnt been as active as he would like to be. While Hasim has stayed fairly active in the last year, it is doubtful Vitali was even able to jog for an extended period of his convalescence.
Also, there have been whispers that Vitali was cut during sparring. This could mean nothing; there are many ways a cut can happen. However, it could mean a lot. First of all, if it is in the same place as before, it means Vitalis bleeding problem may be more permanent than thought. More importantly, it might mean that he isnt as sharp after the long layoff, and that one of his sparring partners tagged him. Remember how we all dismissed the knockdown Tyson suffered in sparring, right before he fought Douglas, and then pointed to it afterward?
Very little is said about Vitalis hands, but the truth is after his last two fights, Sanders, and Williams, he complained on air that he had hurt them. In fact, after about the third round of the Williams fight, he stopped punching with full power, which was a big part of the reason Williams was able to last so long. If Vitalis hands act up again, he may have trouble finishing Rahman off, giving Hasim more chances to catch him.
I have saved the final little thing for last, because I think therein lies the key to predicting this fight. Just as Hasims main strength lies within his psyche, so is the case with Vitali. Vitali has an inner fire, a rage if you will. Any careful observer will see how his temper always lurks just under his skin. Even when sitting relaxed at a press conference, or photo op, he looks pissed off. This is rare in a big man, and when this fire is released it spells disaster for his opponents.
Hasim Rahman has been plagued by terrible advice throughout his career. I remember watching his corner man during the second Lewis fight. The corner man assured Rahman that Lewis could not touch him if he simply held his arms straight out from his body, palms extended. The very next round, cameras in Lewis corner caught Manny Steward telling Lewis, in detail, just how to nail Rahman if he did that again. Rahman got drilled and KOd in the following round, just as Steward had said he would.
Once again, someone has given Rahman terrible advice, and chances are its going to cost him what could be his last shot at the title. Why anger a man larger and stronger than you? His camp should have paid attention to the other men that intentionally angered Vitali - Herbie Hide and Corrie Sanders. They should have watched the brutal, one sided beatings those men received at the hands of a motivated Vitali, and took heed. Vitali is at his most dangerous when hes riled, the man that irks him on purpose before sharing the ring with him is foolhardy indeed.
Rahmans biggest victory came against an unmotivated, unsuspecting Lewis. He should have pursued the same fight plan against Vitali. Instead of mocking him, presenting him with chicken and the like, he should have quietly come into press conferences, been polite, and then disappeared. He should have gone into seclusion, and let Vitali forget about him, just like Lennox Lewis did. Then, he could have looked to surprise a rusty Vitali early, and jump on him to force the stoppage. Now someone in his camp has decided to make it personal. In their brilliance, they have decided to throw Vitali off his game by making him mad, and in doing so have probably wasted the great chance they had for an upset.
Even if Klitschko is covered in ring rust, even if he hurts his hands or gets cut, hes motivated now. He badly wants to beat up on Hasim Rahman, and he will. He will because hes bigger, stronger, and meaner. He will get hit, but in the words of Teddy Atlas, Klitschko wont evaporate. Rahmans comments indicate he expects Klitschko to fold mentally when tested. Dont count on it Hasim, especially now, since youve successfully painted a target on your forehead.
Prediction: Vitali Klitschko TKO 9 Hasim Rahman

Prohibition-era Chicago mob boss Al Capone's house is going up for sale in the spring, the current owner says. The six-bedroom red-brick home in a working-class neighborhood on the city's South Side is expected to be priced at $450,000, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday.
Two Baton Rouge, La., sisters, ages 23 and 18, say their mother insists they have their picture taken with Santa Claus every year until they are married. Ashley Swan, 23, and her sister Katie, 18, said mother Merry Swan's tradition of having her children pose with Santa for a Christmas photo began the year Ashley was born and has continued uninterrupted for every Christmas since, the Baton Rouge Advocate reported Thursday. This is how I feel -- you have to do this until you get married, Merry Swan told her daughters.
A Maryland car wholesaler said he played secret Santa for a man whose kidneys are failing with a free 1998 Plymouth Voyager. Ed Lott, 38, said he has given cars to people in need for the past five Christmases, and his own kidney problems were not enough to keep him from obtaining a vehicle for Sheldon Deller, 48, the Baltimore Sun reported Thursday. Lott drove the tow truck carrying the van to Deller's house and a friend, Venessa Bond, rang the man's doorbell and informed him of the gift, which Lott and his helpers said would have been almost completely anonymous had the wholesaler's mother, Carmen Lott, not informed newspapers of her son's deeds before the car was presented Wednesday afternoon. The reason I do it is for the reactions I see, said Lott, who watched from the tow truck as a shocked and grateful Deller received his gift.
A Texas man said he has expanded the schedule of the holiday train has run in his backyard for the past eight years to keep the ride open on Christmas. Joel Occhiuzzo, 76, said he has operated the train, which seats 22 people, and given free rides to all who come from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day in his Richardson backyard for the past eight years, and this year he decided not to shut the ride down for Christmas, The Dallas Morning News reported Thursday.
The arrival of Christmas has some Pennsylvanians with names evocative of the holiday lamenting their festive monikers. Patty Christmas of Plum, Pa., said having the beloved holiday as her last name may make it memorable, but it reveals its downside when she has to give her name to people who don't realize she's serious, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported Thursday. I ordered a pizza the other night, she said.
A British stand-up comedian has been charged with criminal damage after he allegedly interrupted a show to snatch and smash an audience member's phone.

The Irish inventor of a Rubik's cube-solving robot said he is planning to have his creation attempt a world record by solving the puzzle in about 60 seconds. Pete Redmond said his invention, the RuBot 2, can usually solve the puzzle in about 35 seconds after scanning it with cameras in its eyes and his goal is to have the robot solve the puzzle in one minute including scanning time at the record attempt Jan.
An elderly Houston woman received $4,700 water bill that claimed she used 495,000 gallons of water in a single month -- a feat plumbers called impossible. Annabelle Baylous said her water bill is usually about $10, so she was shocked to see the amount on the bill she received this month, KHOU-TV, Houston, reported Thursday. Over $4,000! Baylous said.
An Australian couple said their 7-year-old cat survived a 34-story fall from their penthouse to the ground below. Sheree and Wayne Washington said their lucky cat, aptly named Voodoo, suffered only scratches to his ear, mouth and paw and a bloodshot eye after his fall from their Gold Coast penthouse, which was cushioned by a bush far below, Britain's The Daily Mail reported Thursday. Sheree Washington said she and her husband feared the worst after they noticed Voodoo missing Monday night, but when she went searching for what she thought would be a body Tuesday she instead discovered the cat lying under the bushes.

Can anybody post the proof to Fermat's Little Theorem (The Theorm on prime numbers)?
Character is who you are when no one is looking.
There are two basic proofs for this, a number theoretic proof and a group theory proof. This is the group theory proof:
Note that the integers modulo p form a group under multiplication (with 0 removed). By Lagrange's theorem, for any element a in a group G, a^|G| = e, the identity. Specifically, if a is a non-zero integer modulo p, then a^(p-1) = 1, as p-1 is the order of this group under multiplication.
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."

Diarra commits to UConn
UConn secured a verbal commitment from Mamadou Diarra, a 6-foot-8 forward, on Friday morning.
UConn junior Enosch Wolf is sidelined indefinitely after suffering a concussion in practice on Friday.
Wolf, a 7-foot-1, 245-pound center, tweeted about his injury.
"Hate concussions! Especially 3 in 10 months. I just wanna put that UConn jersey on and play ball!!!"
He had two concussions last season, including one prior to the Big East tournament in March that sidelined him for the rest of the season.
The Huskies can't afford any injuries to an already thin frontcourt. Coach Kevin Ollie is taking a cautious with Wolf.
"It's his third concussion," Ollie said. "We just don't want it to get to a point where he has to retire from basketball. ... He's feeling much better now but we just want to see once he starts doing cardio if the side effects come back."
Wolf is the only true center on the roster. The Huskies have only two other players over 6-8 in junior Tyler Olander and freshman Phillip Nolan, two 6-9 forwards.
The news comes just over a week before UConn's exhibition opener Nov. 1 against American International College. The season opener is Nov. 9 against Michigan State at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
Ollie expects that Wolf will make the trip to Germany.

BENZENE: $1,478-1,488/tonne FOB Korea, down $4/tonne
Market opened with a weak note, with limited bids and offers because of weaker WTI crude futures. Bids for February cargoes fell to $1,478/tonne FOB Korea. An offer for March lots was at $1,470/tonne FOB Korea.
TOLUENE: $1,360-1,375/tonne FOB Korea, stable
Prices were steady from 2 January close, with offers for February cargoes at $1,375-1,380/tonne FOB Korea but there were no counter bids. Bids for March parcels were at $1,360-1,365/tonne FOB Korea.
ETHYLENE: $1,290-1,310/tonne CFR NE Asia, up $10/tonne at low end
Limited spot supply from Asia and the Middle East kept selling ideas at as high as around $1,350/tonne CFR NE Asia but sporadic buying interest from some end-users remained at below $1,300/tonne CFR NE Asia.
PROPYLENE: $1,290-1,310/tonne CFR NE Asia, stable
No CFR trades were heard amid the ongoing New Year holiday in China. However, selling ideas for February shipments were heard at above $1,260/tonne FOB Korea against buying interest at around $1,230/tonne FOB Korea, market sources said.

I think this article is just speculation but........
I think this article is just speculation but........
When I see the 2015 Reds, I see a 100 loss team.
castelline said him and baker will be back next year.
Let him go, a new GM will want a new manager
I don't see why so many people think Jocketty is a God. Tavares, Patterson, Gomes, etc. Those were not good signings.
Reds won the weakest baseball division last year and then sucked in the playoffs.
I'm not a Dusty fan and I'm not sold on Jocketty either.
"I can't take this homerism anymore." - 10xWSChamps, August 11, 2010. A Cardinals fan having a problem with all the homerism on Redszone. Classic.
"Man do I miss the days where were didn't need a calculator and an encyclopedia of baseball metrics to enjoy a baseball game ... - MikeS21" - 8/2/12 game thread
Why not? The Cubs have a lot more to spend than the Reds. They could be pretty competitive in the NL Central with a few moves and signings. I would imagine the Cubs job would be attractive to a lot of GMs.
It's not going to happen.

July 30, 2013 Update: Virtual Partner Concierge is no longer available, but I invite you to join the new US Partner Community on Yammer, at http://aka.ms/uspyammer (instructions). All of the features of Concierge that helped you stay informed and find resources related to your membership and areas of interest are part of Yammer, plus Yammer brings the benefit of better engagement with Microsoft and other partners. Thanks to those of you who were users and fans of Concierge. It was fun building it and learning how you used it. I hope to see you on Yammer!
Original post:
At the Worldwide Partner Conference in July, I had the opportunity to talk to many partners while working in the U.S. Partner Lounge, before and after sessions, and at the U.S. Party. One topic I am always keen to chat about with partners is how they stay informed and current on Microsoft products, programs, and opportunities. Invariably, there is a comment from the partner that goes something like, "There's so much information and so many things to keep track of, and it's often overwhelming." Yes, indeed.
Now, I could wax on here about how we're using social media—like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn—to make it easier for partners to get timely information, and I could talk about the U.S. partner newsletter that contains content targeted to each individual according to profile data, but I won't. Instead, I'd like to introduce you to Virtual Partner Concierge, an online tool that helps U.S. partners navigate the many resources and tools Microsoft offers them, and lets them not only find great content, but get back to it easily, time and again.
A Consistent, Simple Interface
Download a PPT slide with this same screenshot, for viewing in more detail.
Built in Silverlight and running Windows Azure and SQL Azure, and using Windows Live ID to authenticate that you are a member of the Microsoft Partner Network, this screenshot captures just about everything you need to know about the experience:
New VAR Resources Now Available
Earlier this week, we reached a milestone for Virtual Partner Concierge, adding new functionality that streamlines how U.S. partners who resell Microsoft licensing access their VAR Renewal Workbooks. In the screenshot above, on the right-hand side under Toolbox, there is a link, "Your Customer List." You will only see the Toolbox if you have a Workbook available to you (again, using Windows Live ID to serve up relevant information). Clicking on "Your Customer List" will take you to a screen that offers you the opportunity to download the Workbook(s) available to you, plus link to additional resources related to that activity.
In conjunction with this new functionality, we launched a Value-Added Resellers view within Concierge, to complement these resources and offer you additional suggestions for online content that VARs will find useful. It is available to all Concierge users—simply scroll down in "My Views" (these are organized alphabetically).
What's Next for Virtual Partner Concierge?
Over the past year, growing partner usage of Concierge, and feedback about the experience and what users would like to see has helped me enlist more subject-matter experts to use Concierge as a way to inform and connect with U.S. partners, and I'm continuing to work with my colleagues to get them up and running. Concierge is complementary to the U.S. partner portal, other partner-facing Microsoft sites, and to our outreach through the U.S. partner newsletter and U.S. Partner Community social media. Over the next couple of months, I'll be evaluating suggested features and enhancements from partners to determine how to continue to add value to Concierge for you.
The VPC is a great central repository portal that keeps my company (Premier Knowledge Solutions) www.premier-ks.com current on all the in-play rsources, engagement and currency tools from Microsoft. Thanks for your commitment. I share your passion for the VPC!

Supreme Court: Strip-Search of Teenager Violated Constitutional Rights
The Supreme Court delivered a 8-1 opinion ruling that a strip-search of a thirteen-year-old girl by school officials looking for an ibuprofen tablet violated the Fourth Amendment. Justice Souter writing for the Court held that the search was unreasonable and that school searches are permissible when they are "not excessively intrusive in light of the age and sex of the student and the nature of the infraction." But a majority of the Justices also said that the school officials were not liable for damages because it had not been "clearly established" that the search was unlawful. Justices Stevens and Ginsburg disagreed and said that a previous Supreme Court case made clear that the search was "excessively intrusive." Justice Thomas wrote in dissent that the search was permissible. See also EPIC's page on Student Privacy.

The Newton-Conover City Schools Board of Education is seeking a new member after Scott Loudermelt resigned on Thursday.
Loudermelt was one of the longest tenured board members, having served the Conover district for the past 10 years. His first day on the N-CCS Board was Dec. 1, 2003.
Brad Tompkins may be the best kept secret in Catawba County.
Tompkins works for the city of Newton as tree trimmer. His job is not what makes him special, though. ItŌĆÖs want he creates outside of work that does.
After Tompkins trims trees down, he turns them into works of art. Tompkins uses his chainsaw to sculpt animals such as bears, eagles and frogs.
After receiving rave reviews from all constituents, the ŌĆ£Champions CourseŌĆØ at Rock Barn Golf & Spa will return for the 2014 Greater Hickory Kia Classic at Rock Barn, which is set for Oct. 13-19 in Conover.
Hickory poet Scott Owens was featured on Garrison KeillorŌĆÖs National Public Radio show, ŌĆ£The WriterŌĆÖs AlmanacŌĆØ on Thursday.
OwensŌĆÖ poem, ŌĆ£Cleaning House,ŌĆØ from his new collection ŌĆ£Eye of the BeholderŌĆØ was read aloud by Keillor on this daily nationally syndicated radio and online show. Readers can still hear the poem at writersalmanac.publicradio.org.
Steroids ŌĆö theyŌĆÖve become a huge topic┬Āin the world of sports.
Performance-enhancing drugs have changed the landscape of both college and professional sports, but what happens when that same culture affects the prep sports realm?
The battle of yard sales ordinance still wages on for the city of Newton.
In last nightŌĆÖs meeting, the Newton City Council voted 4-3 in favor of the ordinance on yard sales with Mayor Anne StedmanŌĆÖs vote breaking the tie.
Despite a majority vote, the ordinance did not pass.
Downtown Newton was filled with remembrance and song on Monday morning as the Catawba County branch of the NAACP hosted a march in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a beautiful day to have a march,ŌĆØ said Catawba County NAACP President Jerry McCombs. ŌĆ£The sun was shining, and it was a success.ŌĆØ
A Maiden Police Officer discovered components of a mobile meth lab in the passenger area of a vehicle during a traffic stop just after midnight Saturday on Water Plant Road.
To read more of this story, pick up the Tuesday edition of Catawba County's community newspaper, The Observer News Enterprise, at newsstands throughout the county.
The Newton-Conover Middle School wrestling team represented strong during SaturdayŌĆÖs Little Indian Classic at St. Stephens High School.
Red Devil wrestlers Devin Chambers, Barrett Harkins, Francisco Tapia and C.J. Blanton all won first place in their respective weight classes at the event.
The ladies of the Carolina Style Chorus consider it to be one of the best kept secrets in the area, but they are ready for the community to hear their voices loud and clear.
The chorus is a part of an international organization, the Sweet Adelines, who work to learn and perform barbershop style music.

Between Rooney's segments, his spouse, Jan, lines out a set of old-time standards, with a breezy professionalism that suggests late-period Blossom Seeley. Pleasant in themselves, they mix oddly with the already odd blend of confessional, career recap, and new songs that are Rooney's own contribution. The show has occasional sparks of lifethe brief flashes when Rooney onstage, as if charged up by the dazzling electricity of the young Rooney on-screen, dives into the first line of a song, or launches a tiny dance step that's over as soon as it starts. But he shouldn't need to be out there at all: He worked so hard in those MGM flicks that he deserves a rest.

Brumos Racing reflects on their past with Porsche at Road Atlanta as they head into the new venue for the Grand-Am Rolex series
Their 10th place finish for the Porsche 250 puts Brumos in 5th place in the Rolex Series GT team standings.
The group's Racing for Children's fundraising events during the weekend include a dinner, silent and live auctions, and sponsorship of the colorful handprints that cover the Brumos racecar.
The finish was not without controversy, as the front-running car failed to serve a penalty they had been assessed before the race ended.
Andrew Davis and Leh Keen take their Brumos Racing Porsche to the state of the art track in Austin.
Although the Brumos crew kept the car out of the garage, making the complex repair quickly, the #59 lost several laps.

In 2013 Illinois joined 10 states in enacting Caylee's law. This law was passed in reaction to the trial of Casey Anthony for the death of her daughter, Caylee Anthony. While Casey was found not guilty of killing her 2 year old daughter, Casey failed to report that Caylee was missing for 31 days.
The law requires parents or guardians of a missing child 13 years old or younger to notify police within 24 hours. If a child is 2 years old or younger this must be reported within one hour. The same law also establishes parents or guardians to report the death of a child and it makes it a felony to threaten social workers or caseworkers. In proposing the legislation, Illinois Representative Jack Franks was quoted "Though it may seem untenable that any parent would fail to report their child's death, unfortunately it appears that we need a criminal law that requires it."
Failure to report a missing child is a Class 4 felony and punishable by up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000. It is hoped that the threat of punishment will keep parents or guardians from resisting the impulse to hide the fact that their child has gone missing and allow authorities to quickly locate missing children.

Two Arrested in Piracy Raid in UAE's Sharjah
Two people have been arrested at a computer reseller firm in UAE's Sharjah, and large quantities of illegal software have been seized, according to the Business Software Alliance (BSA).
The same reseller was subjected to two previous intellectual property rights enforcement by the Ministry of Information and Culture, said BSA in a statement, cited by the Gulf News.
The action, according to BSA, is the first in which arrests were made on the spot during a piracy raid. "There is a clear regional movement towards enforcement of copyright legislation. Benefits associated with this legislation are clearly understood by regional governments and technology markets," said Jawad Redha, BSA Middle East regional director.
"Industries are already seeing new growth and potential being unlocked by the protection now being offered to local developers of software and content as well as the attraction of new foreign investments and expertise to the regional technology industry," he added.
Enforcement action in the UAE and other key Middle East regional markets has recently been stepped up dramatically.
"This is the fourth major anti-piracy enforcement action to have taken place in the UAE in the last month," he told the paper.
An Abu Dhabi-based computer reseller was closed down last week, the BSA official added – Albawaba.com

Sunday October 14, 2012
YEONGAM (South Korea): Asked about women in Formula One and most observers would point to the grid girls who pout and pose in short skirts before every race.
But the first female team principal in the 62-year history of the male-dominated sport says she hopes that her rise to prominence will change all that – cautioning that it was a long-term process.
"You have to deliver the same (as men) and be as good as anyone else. It can show to women out there that they can also come out on top and believe in yourself," Monisha Kaltenborn said at the Korean Grand Prix.
She became team principal at Sauber on Thursday with immediate effect after its founder, the highly respected Peter Sauber, decided to step down from day-to-day management.
He had always made it clear that he did not wish to be running the team, which he built more than four decades ago, when he turned 70. He turned 69 on Saturday.
Kaltenborn, 41, an Austrian of Indian origin, joined the company in 2000 to run the legal department, was appointed a member of the board of management not long afterwards and took over as CEO of Sauber Motorsport AG in January 2010.
In late 2011 Peter Sauber transferred a third of the company's shares into her name. She has been the team boss in everything but name this season but her official elevation to the role still reverberated around the sport.
"I've never thought of seeing my position as the first woman (to be a team principal)," she said.
"Obviously it is a fact but you don't think of it yourself so I was a bit surprised that so many people took this angle of the first woman doing this."
Already an ambassador for the Women in Motorsport Commission at the FIA, the world governing body, Kaltenborn said her new position would strengthen women in the famously high-testosterone sport.
"These are the kind of things where really we feel that in years to come it will be something because this is a long process," she said.
"Things are not going to happen from today to tomorrow.
"What we want to do, which is very important for us in that commission, is to show that the demands which we put on women who have to be on top have to be the same as they are for men."
Her Sauber team are sixth in the constructors' championship with five races to go, starting with the race in Yeongam today.
Australian Mark Webber, the Red Bull driver, said Kaltenborn's rise to team chief was a step forward for a sport where the drivers, engineers, pit crew and even journalists are overwhelmingly men.
"I think it's great," was his immediate reaction to Thursday's announcement.
"Why not? There's absolutely no reason why. We have very successful business women around the world so there's absolutely no reason why she cannot run a successful racing team.
"Some of the qualities that females have in terms of making decisions faster than a room full of men might be a positive thing. I look forward to seeing how she goes." — AFP

He was born in Washington D.C but grew up in South Carolina.
"Colbert sometimes comedically refers to his surname as French, but his family is actually of Irish descent. Originally, the name was pronounced "Col-bert", but Colbert's father had always wanted to pronounce the name "Col-BARE", remaining "Col-bert" only out of respect for his own father. As a result, James Colbert offered his children the option to pronounce the name whichever way they preferred. Colbert started using "Col-BARE" when he transferred to Northwestern University, taking advantage of the opportunity to reinvent himself in a new place where no one knew him." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Colbert
For those who didn't realize that he is playing a character on his show I have to ask... no wait, I don't want to know. =/

I've had the 685 kit sitting in my garage for about a year, and I'm trying really hard to adhere to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." approach. My bike runs great, doesn't burn oil, and is really smooth, so I might just leave it alone. I'm going to do a compression/leakdown test in the next few days to get an idea of the engine's condition, Those results will give me an idea of whether or not the kit stays in the box for a while longer.

A federal appeals court's ruling today may lead to higher wages for foreign guest workers and will help prevent employers from undercutting U.S. workers by paying lower wages to foreign laborers.
The "standards" for immigration reform offered by Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives today fail to offer any serious proposals to fix the nation's broken immigration system.
A ruling by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that upholds California's ban on conversion therapy for minors, a discredited practice that claims to "cure" people of being gay, is another sign of the collapse of the conversion therapy industry.
There was a line in President Obama's State of the Union address that particularly resonated with me: "Opportunity is who we are." The question is whether we'll provide that opportunity to the millions of immigrants who are living and working in the shadows in our country.
Recent policy changes affecting student loans, coupled with the skyrocketing cost of attending college, are creating financial traps for the most vulnerable students and their families, leaving many students drowning in unmanageable debt even if they fail to get a degree, according to the latest issue of Teaching Tolerance magazine, released today by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Finally, our politicians are waking up to the fact that our children need a helping hand, not a pair of handcuffs. They've recognized the devastating consequences of the lunacy that has gripped our schools: the idea that children should be tossed out of school and, quite often, into jail for typical adolescent misbehavior.

After making the biggest play of his career, an interception to send the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl, cornerback Richard Sherman kept it classy. Well, not really.
He unleashed a couple of confounding on-field interviews in which, among many things, he said, "I'm the best corner in the game. When you try me with a sorry receiver like [Michael] Crabtree, that's the result you gonna get. Don't you ever talk about me!"
And this beauty:
"I told you Crabtree was mediocre at best, so I would never let him catch a game winner on me. … This is a joke, right?"
On the heels of those fighting words, how about a look back at some memorable trash-talking moments in recent tennis times. Mind you these are in no particular order, and I'm sure there are more than a few we missed. Feel free to send those along in the comments.
Anyway, your verbal jabs:
"It was very pleasant to beat Maria. Why? I don't like her outfit. She's brave enough to experiment and I give her credit for that, but the outfit was a little bit too much of everything. It was one of the motivations to beat her."
-- Alla Kudryavtseva on Maria Sharapova's tuxedo top and shorts outfit at the 2008 Wimbledon Championships
"She begins every interview with 'I'm so happy. I'm so lucky' -- it's so boring. She's still not going to be invited to the cool parties. And, hey, if she wants to be with the guy with a black heart, go for it."
-- Serena Williams referring to Sharapova in a 2013 Rolling Stone issue
"Obviously I have a tremendous amount of respect for Serena and what she's achieved on the court. If she wants to talk about something personal, maybe she should talk about her relationship and her boyfriend … [who] was married and is getting a divorce and has kids."
-- Sharapova responding to Williams at a pre-tournament Wimbledon news conference
"The male players spent twice as long on court at Roland Garros as the women. The equality in salaries isn't something that works in sport."
-- Gilles Simon at the 2013 French Open explaining why women shouldn't get paid as much as men
"She's not said one word to me, not spoken to me, not said hi, not looked my way, not been in the same room with me since I played her in Australia."
-- Sloane Stephens on Williams after winning their quarterfinal meeting at the 2013 Australian Open
"Maybe she won the match or the tournament, but she lost a lot of respect because I don't think those kind of behavior is a good image for women's tennis. A lot of things happen on court, a lot of different situations but I think is not the level that you're doing that, this is the highest level. She is No. 1, top 10 for many years. It's not like we're not going to talk anymore, but it's good to play fair play, off the court and on the court."

"Don't tell me to be quiet, OK? When I wanna talk, I talk."

We take a look at some of the best accessories, cases, keyboards and folios for the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 Android tablet.
Best Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 Cases
by Derek Scott 6 months ago
We take a look at some of the best accessories, cases, keyboards and folios for the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 Android tablet.
Is the latest Galaxy 10-inch offering from Samsung just a Galaxy Note 10.1 without the S-Pen? We find out in our in-depth Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 10.1 review!
In its latest ads, Samsung is back at what it does best, which is making fun of the competition. And when we say competition, we mean, of course, the iPhone and the iPad.
The Galaxy NotePRO 12.2, TabPRO 8.4 and TabPRO 10.1 ship today, but you will have to wait until March if you wanted the TabPRO 12.2. Just as promised last week when pre-orders opened, the devices are available from Samsung.com and from a number of retailers, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores.
Magazine UX will be a fixture of the user experience on the new TabPRO and NotePRO tablets, as users won't be able to disable it.
The Samsung Galaxy NotePRO 12.2, Galaxy TabPRO 8.4 and Galaxy TabPRO 10.1 will become available on February 13, from Samsung.com and retailers Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Tiger Direct, PC Richard and Sons, Fry's, and Newegg.
Prices for Samsung's Galaxy NotePRO and GalaxyTabPRO tablets are already available in Europe, unofficially from some retailers, but also officially from local Samsung divisions.
Check out our hands-on video preview and image gallery for Samsung's Galaxy TabPro 10.1 at CES 2014!
After letting the cat out of the bag early, Samsung has now 'officially' released detailed specs for the Galaxy TabPro 10.1. Keep reading to learn more!
The specs for Samsung's Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, Tab Pro 12.2, Tab Pro 10.1, Tab Pro 8.4 tablets have been leaked ahead of their CES 2014 announcement, alongside a first press image for one of them.

Oblivion grossed an estimated $61.1 million overseas this weekend.
Any concern that Rock of Ages or Jack Reacher might have affected the star's global drawing power are now buried under $61 million. The film took the top spot in 48 of the 52 markets it opened in. The film did exceptionally well in Russia, posting $8.6 million over the weekend -the most successful opening weekend in Russia for Tom Cruise.
Oblivion's biggest numbers came from the UK & Ireland ($7.9M), Korea ($4.1M), France ($3.9M), Australia ($3.6), Spain ($3.1M), and Mexico ($2.8M). Universal is reporting the film has conquered the entire Eastern Europe, Latin American and Middle East markets.
Oblivion's opening weekend overseas is 22% ahead of director Joseph Kosinski's previous film, TRON: Legacy, which reached a $228 overseas cume. It is a significant improvement above Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher; a 70% increase over that film's opening weekend will surely mean it will beat Reacher's $150 million overseas cume. The film is on par with the opening weekend for last year's Snow White and the Huntsman, which went on to gross $241 million overseas.
The Croods continues to hold-up remarkably overseas, posting $25.5 million this weekend and updating its overseas total to $244.8 million. The animated film opened slightly behind Oblivion in France with $3.7 million. It performed strongly after multiple weeks in the UK ($3M weekend, $34.4M cume), Australia ($2.9M weekend, $17M cume), Brazil ($1.5M weekend, $13.3M cume), Mexico ($1.4M weekend, $22.7M cume), and Germany ($1M weekend, $17.4M cume). The global total is $387.3 million.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation continues to outpace its predecessor at the box office. The action film added $15.6 million from 61 territories this weekend to reach a $168.3 million overseas gross. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra reached a lifetime $152.3 million overseas. Strong hold-over showings in its third week of release in Brazil ($1.2M weekend, $8M cume), Germany ($1.1M weekend, $9.4M cume), and Mexico ($1M weekend, $12.7M cume) led the pack. The global cume is currently $270.7 million. The film will be released in China tomorrow and can see continued growth over the next several weeks if it can find an audience there.
Jurassic Park 3D saw a rise in its overseas box office this weekend, posting a $5.8 million gross -nearly twice the business it made with last weekend's $3.3 million gross. The global cume is $37.7 million, solidifying Universal's $10 million investment to reconvert and re-release the film in 3D.
Well into its release, Oz: The Great and Powerful racked up another $5.2 million to bring its overseas total to $251.6 million. The Disney film has now reached $471 million globally.
Identity Thief is slowly ramping up its scaled overseas release. It added $3.2 million to reach a $30.3 million overseas total and a $152.3 global cume.
Mama grossed $1.2 million this weekend and is now at $60.6 million overseas. The global cume is $132.2 million.
Check back with us throughout the day for live updates on the global box office.
Saturday Update: Universal reports that Oblivion grossed an estimated $13.1 million from 52 territories on Friday, giving the film a $23.1 million overseas total thus far. They project a weekend take of $60.5 million.
Key territories include Russia's $1.5 million (biggest opening day of the year for a non-3D release) and $1.6 million from the United Kingdom and Ireland. Oblivion also opened in first place in all of its Latin American markets.
Below are Universal's comparisons to recent blockbusters in the same territories:
+ 22% ahead of TRON: Legacy ($228M Lifetime)
+ 70% ahead of Jack Reacher ($150M Lifetime)
- 7% below OZ ($250M Lifetime)
- 7% below Rise of the Planet of the Apes ($305M Lifetime)
On par with Snow White and the Huntsman ($241M Lifetime)
Previously: Tom Cruise is one of the few global stars that can bring attention to any project. His track record at the global box office remains unblemished as long as he receives top billing; his only underwhelming films have been ensemble pieces: Rock of Ages, Lions for Lambs, and Magnolia. Cruise's previous outing, Jack Reacher, stalled in the North American box office but was salvaged with a robust $137.5 million overseas total. Cruise is so marketable to audiences around the world that most of his recent titles regularly cross the $100 million mark abroad. Older titles from the 80's and the 90's, released in a smaller economy for the overseas market, still managed to regularly gross above $70 million.

20th Century Fox will hit $1 billion overseas on April 12. They are the first distributor to hit that mark in 2013. The official notes:
This marks the 4th time in the past 5 years when Fox International has been first to cross the $1 Billion GBO mark (2009, 2010, 2011, 2013), with the sole exception being 2012, when Fox International came from behind to win the calendar year in the final weeks of December. We are extremely proud of this accomplishment, as it shows the consistency by which Fox delivers box office results with varying release slates year after year.
This is the 10th year in a row that Fox International has surpassed the $1B GBO mark in a calendar year and 13th time in our storied history.
2013 is the 2nd fastest year in which Fox International reached the $1B GBO mark, the fastest being in 2010, when we reached $1B on Jan. 30 thanks to AVATAR and ALVIN 2. 2013 edged out our prior fastest year, which was 1998, when Fox International reached $1B on April 13, thanks to TITANIC.
The films that helped us reach this milestone include:
LIFE OF PI: $260m earned in 2013 ($485m lifetime)
A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD: $235m
THE CROODS: $225m
LINCOLN: $82.5m
FOX INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTION titles: $110m
The balance of GBO came from numerous Fox and Fox Searchlight titles.

Podiatry Training Programs and Requirements
A podiatrist provides medical care for feet and ankles, including the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of foot and ankle conditions. They may treat a range of problems, such as arthritis, deformities, bunions, arch problems and heel spurs. In addition to earning bachelor's degrees, podiatrists are required to attend 4-year, podiatry schools followed by residency programs.
Training Requirements and Recommendations
Those interested in pursuing careers as podiatrists must first complete bachelor's degree programs. This is followed by application to an accredited college of podiatric medicine. Students may choose to further specialize and must be licensed in order to legally practice.
Formal Education
Most podiatrists begin their educations by earning bachelor's degrees. While many students choose to major in science-related fields, it is generally not required. Students who hold unrelated bachelor's degrees may be asked to complete certain science courses before applying to podiatry school. A Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree must be earned in order to practice as a podiatrist.
Doctoral Programs
The Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) is a 4-year, specialized medical degree program. Although the first two years of study are similar to those of Medical Doctor (M.D.) degree programs, students in their third and fourth years take podiatry-specific courses, including lower-extremity biomechanics, lower-limb anatomy and podiatric trauma. Clinical rotations are also required in areas like radiology and podiatric surgery.
Job Experience
Podiatry students gain a great deal of experience while completing clinical rotations associated with the DPM degree program. Most candidates enter 2-4-year residency programs after earning their DPM degrees. This gives them the chance to gain hands-on, practical experience treating patients in a hospital setting, and some states require podiatrists to complete residency programs before granting licensure. Podiatrists may pursue more specialized areas of the field by completing additional residencies that last at least one year.
Licenses and Certifications
All podiatrists must be state licensed before they can legally practice. This involves holding a DPM degree from an accredited institution and passing an officially administered oral and written exam. Additional requirements may vary from state to state. A passing score on the National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners (NBPME) exam may qualify podiatrists for licensing in some states. The NBPME exam consists of three sections that are generally taken in sequence.
Workshops and Seminars
Podiatry workshops are widely available and often address new technological advances. Sports medicine organizations and local universities may offer seminars on a variety subjects, including foot and ankle rehabilitation, neurological assessment in podiatry and radiology of the foot. Some workshops may address cost control techniques in podiatric care.
Additional Professional Development
Most states require podiatrists to complete a certain number of continuing education hours in order to maintain certification. Colleges of podiatric medicine may offer on-site or online courses on a variety of topics, including podopediatrics, functional orthopedics and dermatology. Podiatrists may also obtain specialty certifications that require advanced podiatry training, practical podiatry experience and additional competency testing.

Re: Binocular Conundrum: Field of View?
I understand what you are saying, but from what all the binoc makers say, the size of the exit pupil effectively "crops" the size of the image coming out of the binocs and into your eye. So assuming an exit pupil size fo 5mm, the focused image in your eye, on your retina, will be constrained by the 5mm circular image of the exit pupil size of the binocs.
To use some arbitrary numbers, let's say binoc #1 has a FOV of 500 feet, while binco #2 has a FOV of 250 feet, while both have the same 5mm exit pupil size.
Shouldn't that mean that binoc #2 has twice the magnification as binoc #1, since it is showing half as much FOV, but putting the same size (5mm cropped) image into your eye?
If the image that is projected into your eye is the same size, the FOV and magnification MUST be the same for both binocs, mustn't they? If you increase the magnification, the FOV has to decrease, if the image at the exit pupil is the same size. And if the FOV gets wider, then the magnification has to proportionately decrease, doesn't it?

|Reviews for Wind Warrior
| Solomon Sia chapter 12 . 11/15/2012
A very intense battle with a good grasp of atmosphere, suspense and action.
I enjoyed it.
| NoWordsDiscribeMe chapter 12 . 11/14/2012
What a splendiferous chapter
| Tomoyuki Tanaka chapter 12 . 11/11/2012
Awesome chapter as always, though I feel really sorry for the sniper group. I hope the humans strike back soon enough. We will always prevail against all odds! Go, humans, go! Let's take out supernatural creatures with nothing but guns, bombs and missiles! An atomic bomb if need be!
I do find it weird that Aeron didn't actually do anything in the beginning of the battle until someone snapped at him. What happened? Was he stunned or shocked or something? But really cool battle there. And I like the funny bit about Fergus in the end. Poor guy, stuck down there while Aeron leaves with his freedom intact. I think whoever is hosting the festival is pretty dumb, but hey I'm just agreeing with Aeron and it's not my call to make either. Ha ha ha!
Looking forward to the next chapter!
| Van Quatra chapter 11 . 11/5/2012
damn, now that is scary, a giant thing that can do... many otherr things. this is one interesting enemy. i am excited to see what happens next. oh and my characters intro.
| NoWordsDiscribeMe chapter 11 . 11/4/2012
Another good chapter, as always. A thought came to my head... If that corruption creature is coming from the north, how come the creatures near that costal town were corrupted?
| 839538 chapter 9 . 11/4/2012
Your writing is very good, and you've created a superb universe, but I think your characters are a bit broad and some have pretty cliche elements. I guess it's early to say this, but just in case try to develop them more - especially Cadoc, as so far he's got a vague, generalist personality.
But it's a great story, keep it up.
| Tomoyuki Tanaka chapter 11 . 11/4/2012
Wow. Just wow. That monster, the source of corruption, was just amazing. I guess it's also supposed to be terrifying but I've read too much Warhammer 40K with daemons that I'm now immune to such monsters. The other stuff in the background is just as awesome though, and I like how Aeron's humility is recognized. Humility RULES! WHOOHOO! Yay! And now the prisoners will treat Aeron better, I hope. Looking forward to more of this story, it's just freaking awesome to read!
| Dancingonthegreen chapter 1 . 11/3/2012
Great start. I had a few issues with summing up the history of Talwydd so quickly, but you pulled it off without too much difficulty, I think. I'll be back for the other chapters whenever I can.
| Tomoyuki Tanaka chapter 10 . 11/2/2012
Awesome! As usual, your story is awesome! Five stars out of five! YAY!
I like Aeron's life in the mines, I have a feeling this story is going to be significant and contribute to later arcs. I'm also relieved that the overseer is fair, and he punished Fergus instead of Aeron when it was clearly Fergus's fault. Ha ha ha ha! I hope Fergus gets a bad end or something. That guy is evil.
Never thought Catrina had an old boyfriend named Tom. Why they never got married, I would never know. He would have made a great uncle for Aeron, but hey, this works fine as well. And I wonder what they're going to find in here. And nice introduction of the Cu Sith, by the way! They sound really awesome! I wonder if they have an important role to play later in the story.
| Tomoyuki Tanaka chapter 9 . 10/25/2012
Oh, this is not looking good. Poor Donovan. I wonder how Bevan is going to deal with the Dearg-du and werewolves. They don't seem interested in forming an alliance with the rebels, more interested in exterminating the humans altogether. Oh dear, oh dear. Whatever should we do? NOOO!
As for Aeron, seems cool, I wonder what his life in the mines will be like. He's going to spend, what, 2 weeks there? I hope he survives and grows stronger! Maybe he'll find something in the mines, or discover something. Can't wait for that!
And the entity...did the People's Army already find it? What are they doing to it? Hmm...I hope they don't get in way over their heads and get eradicated by the entity totally. But then again, that always happen whenever you mess with the unknown. Good luck to them. I'll be looking forward to your next chapter, as always!
| kedros chapter 1 . 10/22/2012
just read the first chapter.
my thought: awesome. A 10/10.
you've really put some thought behind everything. there were really no lose ends, besides the things i expect to be used later on, like when you explained about the civil war because of the magecrafting.
i like Aeron's character. his confident appearance, how he continues to go on, helps his companions, ...
as well as siana's confidence and pride (claiming herself still a member of the steward family).
the battle was really vivid. i always have trouble describing an ongoing action like this battle. i shall continue reading this just to learn how to do this even if i started to dislike the mean story :p
anyway good job
| Tomoyuki Tanaka chapter 8 . 10/18/2012
Sorry for taking so long to review your awesome story, but you know how school days are. Been sleeping late and not having much time to read, so sorry! Busy with readings and assignments.
But this story was worth waiting to read at the end! It is AWESOME! I love the humor at one part (she has a personal life?) and all the other stuff. It's just that awesome. And I never thought Anderson would have opened up to Aeron like that. At least the sentence isn't harsh enough to send the guy to prison. I'm relieved for him. I hope Aeron's enjoying his time at the mines there. Plus the cryptic end to the chapter was intriguing. I wonder what's this entity Alan Murphy and Catrina are going to run into. COOL! I can't wait! As usual I look forward to your next chapter!
| NoWordsDiscribeMe chapter 8 . 10/15/2012
Great last two chapters. Seems like Aeron might be getting into some more trouble
| Van Quatra chapter 8 . 10/14/2012
well thats gotta suck for a punishment, hope no trouble is caused.
| Tomoyuki Tanaka chapter 7 . 10/11/2012
YAAAAY! The return of the werewolves and Dearg-du! WOOHOO! The age of predation has only just begun! Go go go! Slaughter all those impudent humans who insolently stand in your path! The story is getting more and more interesting!
I do have to say I pity Aeron. He's getting court-martialed for saving his comrade? Um...I'm pretty sure the army is more flexible than that. Then again this isn't the conventional army I served in, but the corrupted mages one in your story, so I guess I can't really compare. Though this seems to be a sign of Aeron being driven out of the normal authority and state and hinting that he'll be rebelling against the corrupted dudes soon. Can't wait for that!

Non-departmental courses are courses from other departments that allow students to explore topics of interest from the perspective of a related discipline and/or that contain relevant psychological or neuroscience content. (Note that there is a separate list of courses offered in other departments that are considered departmental courses because their content is largely psychological.)
Psychology secondary field students may no longer count any non-departmental courses toward the secondary field requirements as of the 2011-12 academic year. See the list of former Affiliate Courses for information on counting a non-departmental course taken before 2011-12.
Psychology concentrators may choose to count one or two non-departmental courses (depending on your track) from a variety of courses not listed in the psychology section of the course catalog.
Non-departmental courses are broken down into two groups:
All courses listed in the sections below count against the established limits on non-departmental courses for concentrators detailed here.
1. Expedited Courses are non-departmental courses that include significant psychological content and could be a useful component of one's concentration in psychology. These courses will be approved without a full petition, but:
This list contains expedited courses for concentrators listed in the 2014-15 Courses of Instruction. Consult the department if you have a question about counting a course that is no longer offered. **None of these courses can count for Secondary Field Students!**
2. Petitioned Courses are other non-departmental FAS courses, non-FAS Harvard courses, MIT courses not already on the departmental course list, or courses taken in other departments while studying out of residence that you believe will contribute significantly to your study of psychology. These courses must include significant psychology content and relate directly to your own concentration program. Introductory courses in other departments, independent reading or research courses in other departments, non-departmental independent study courses, tutorial courses in other departments, and Freshman Seminar and Core courses not taught by psychology department faculty are not usually approved as Advanced Courses. You must complete a petition form for these courses, attaching a statement and syllabus. The form must have your concentration advisor's signature; this signature does not mean that your advisor approves your petition but rather that s/he believes you have made the strongest case for the course.
You must submit a petition form for these courses, attaching a statement. Petitions must be submitted the semester you are taking a course; deadlines for 2014-2015 are
November 15th for fall term courses, and by May 2nd for spring term courses (or January 30th for graduating seniors). Courses taken out of residence have different deadlines. Courses taken outside of FAS require cross-registration with instructor and concentration signatures; because you can only get a concentration signature after your petition has been reviewed, you should submit petitions for non-FAS courses as soon as you can get a syllabus. (The Undergraduate cross-registration form is available in the Undergraduate Office, the Registrar's Office, and your House/Resident Dean's Office. Come to the Psychology Undergraduate Office for a signature by the Psychology departmental deadline for cross-registration on
September 15, 2014 in the fall and February 2, 2015 for spring. Petitions are evaluated usually by the Head Tutor or occasionally the Committee on Undergraduate Instruction.
Approved courses will meet the following criteria:
Course is relevant to psychology: The course material bears directly upon areas of psychology in that (1) the readings report or consider relevant empirical psychological research; (2) the phenomena studied are amenable to analysis from multiple levels; and (3) the course actually gives some attention to multiple perspectives and interactions among levels. An emphasis on theory is sometimes acceptable if multiple and testable theories are considered.
Course is relevant to your program: Your statement relates the course to your interests in psychology, to coursework you have taken, and/or to thesis plans you have.
Course is rigorously evaluated: Courses evaluate students at least in part on their knowledge of the research literature, indicated by course examinations or papers.
When thinking about petitioning the department for a non-departmental course, it is important to keep in mind this concentration's approach to psychology. We want you to learn to draw conclusions about humans or animals based upon empirical data. This is, of course, only one way of looking at the world, and other disciplines employ other approaches. Thus, although you may identify a course in another section of the catalog that addresses topics of psychological importance, it may do so in a non-empirical way. We do appreciate that such a course and its approach can be valid and rigorous, and that it deserves to be part of your undergraduate education, but it would not be appropriate as a psychology Advanced Course. It may rather provide you with an interesting linkage between your concentration and non-concentration courses, and students often find making such intellectual connections gratifying.
The category Affiliate Courses no longer exists. Below are the list of courses that were previously listed under Affiliate Courses.
