Research Interests
Current research emphasizes seismology and ground-penetrating radar.
In seismology, projects include development of software for numerical simulation of scalar, acoustic, elastic, viscoelastic, and poroelastic isotropic and anisotropic responses, and the corresponding inversion, imaging and migration processes. Applications include reservoir and aquifer characterization, AVO, cross-well and VSP, earthquake source studies, 3-D, multicomponent and wide-aperture analyses.
In ground penetrating radar, projects include development of software for numerical simulation of dielectric and moderately conducting materials in 2-D, 2.5-D and 3-D, and the corresponding inverse problems. Applications include 3-D characterization of reservoir analogs, sedimentological mapping, earthquake fault mapping, and engineering and environmental problems. Projects include experiment design and data acquisition, as well as processing and interpretation.

Regional Renaissance

California's Great Park ties into existing land reserves and connects critical ecological systems to water reserves in central and south Orange County.
Reserved solely for wildlife, one native habitat restoration is off limits to park visitors.
Construction on 500 acres within the park's western sphere is estimated to cost $61.16 million and should begin this year: eight tournament- level soccer fields in a sports park; a 125-acre working farm; event lawns and picnic meadows; a performance bowl; a 20-acre lake; and 7.3 miles of walking and bicycle paths.
A portion of the park is already open to the public. The Great Park Balloon, which takes visitors 400 feet aloft for a bird's-eye view of the park, opened July 2007 and the balloon's surrounding Preview Park opened July 2008. An extension to the preview park was completed July 2009.
Designers met with residents, community leaders, veterans, environmental organizations, and artists while creating the master plan. "Their ideas about such features as the sports park, amphitheater, Great Lawn, trails, and botanical gardens will bring people together and fulfill the park's function as a great social and recreational gathering place," says lead landscape architect Ken Smith.
After an eight-month international design competition, in 2006 Great Park Corp. selected Smith and his collaborating partners: Mia Lehrer of Mia Lehrer + Associates, Enrique Norton of Ten Arquitectos, Steven Handel of Green Shield Ecology, Buro Happold consulting engineers, Fuscoe Engineering, and construction and design management firm Gafcon. Together they comprise the Great Park Design Studio.
To reach sustainability goals (see Web extra on page 53), the designers established a set of performance standards that will be tracked by indicators in five categories:
A multifaceted strategy for minimizing the use of fossil fuels by using renewable energy complements the designers' desire to show visitors sustainable structures, systems, and technologies that will encourage them to change behaviors to preserve the area's natural beauty.
Reduce, reuse, recycle. When the design doesn't permit existing structures to remain onsite, timber, concrete and asphalt from 120 buildings and 600 acres of pavement will be reused or recycled at a center next to the park.
Gravel and cobbles will be become infiltration media and roadbed support. Large slabs of concrete will be stacked for retaining walls and waterfalls and laid for trail steps.
Once the park's built, debris and landscape waste will be recycled onsite.
Water conservation. Southern California is experiencing its third consecutive year of drought, so potable water isn't an option for watering landscapes.

One worker is dead and 15 other people injured after a bridge under construction collapsed at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
Atlanta Fire Capt. Gregory Shinkle says the bridge collapsed just after 9 a.m. Friday. He says scaffolding being used to pour concrete for a new elevated bridge at the garden collapsed.
About a dozen ambulances were on the scene at the park in Midtown Atlanta.
Shinkle said some injured workers were taken out of the accident area on backboards. He says a special team had been called in to shore up the walkway and scaffolding so that medical workers can reach victims.
Shinkle says most of the people injured had fractures but he had no details on their conditions.

Today I'm gonna try and change the world not for me, but for those I'll leave behind…
These couple of lines from Today I'm Gonna Try to Change the World, a song by Scottish-Canadian singer, Johnny Reid came to my mind earlier this month when I heard that Nelson Mandela had died. While the world knew that Mandela had been very sick for a long time, there is always shock in the finality of the news and one realizes that a great man has shuffled from this mortal coil.
I was in London in the summer of 1988 when world opinion was clearly coalescing against the South African government. London was the biggest city I had ever visited and to see tens of thousands of people protesting in Trafalgar Square was both overwhelming and exhilarating. I signed the "free Nelson Mandela" petition several times (vote early, vote often I always say). In June there was the infamous tribute concert at Wembley Stadium marking his 70th birthday and 25th year in jail. This concert was broadcast around the world to an audience of over 600 million people and while it was rumored to have been heavily censored by FOX for the USA audience, it certainly raised the profile of the anti-apartheid cause which ultimately led to Mandela's release in 1990 and becoming president of the new South Africa in 1994.
Mandela was a study in leadership. While you can't always choose what happens to you, you can choose how you're going to react. Mandela could have endured apartheid but instead he chose to oppose it. He put his life on the line for what he believed. Through his protests, civil disobedience and ultimate incarceration, he gained the moral authority to lead. Facing the death penalty on charges of sedition he led off his defense with a lengthy speech which concluded with the famous words:
Ultimately sentenced to life in prison, when he was released and became president, he adamantly opposed any retribution against the former regime and the white Afrikaners who had so vehemently and so violently tried to maintain the oppression on the black South African people. Mandela took a longer term view; to achieve his vision, South Africa needed to heal. Any revenge against the former oppressors was not going to serve the greater cause of a better country for everyone. He urged the people to transcend their past rather than wallow in it. He championed truth and reconciliation as a means toward this goal, noting that we cannot change what has already happened, but together we can build the future.

Pledger Takes Down 100M Hurdle Record at Mt. SAC
Le'Tristan Pledger broke the school record in the 100-meter hurdles Saturday.
April 19, 2014
Results | Texas Tech Performance Chart
WALNUT, Calif. - Sophomore Lady Raider Le'Tristan Pledger helped Texas Tech close out the 56th annual Mt. SAC Relays Saturday with a school record performance in the 100-meter hurdles inside Historic Hilmer Lodge Stadium.
Pledger, who took down both the 55-meter and 60-meter hurdle records during the 2014 indoor season, etched her name in the outdoor record book after crossing the finish line in 13.09 seconds to take down the previous record of 13.10 set by Katie Grimes last year.
Pledger, who took down both the 55-meter and 60-meter hurdle records during the 2014 indoor season, etched her name in the outdoor record book after crossing the finish line in 13.09 seconds to take down the previous record of 13.10 set by Katie Grimes last year.
"It feels really good," she said. "I'm just looking to progress each week and keep working hard and keep executing through my race. It was a great environment today, and I got to run against some great people so it was a good race."
Pledger finished ninth overall in the invitational elite section of the race and fourth among collegians.
The performance highlighted the third and final day of action for the No. 8 Red Raiders and No. 16 Lady Raiders at the annual Mt. SAC Relays.
Early in Saturday's action sophomore Lady Raider Hannah Carson picked up her fourth victory of the season in the javelin, winning the invitational elite section of the competition with a heave of 53.15-meters (174'-4") - matching her second-best throw of the season from the UTSA Invitational in March.
The throw was her third mark over 170-feet this season.
Fellow Lady Raider teammate Cierra White went on to post a season-best of 23.00 in the invitational elite section of the 200-meter dash. She finished sixth in the race and third among collegians.
Shujaa Benson finished 11th overall and fourth among collegians in the invitational elite men's 110-meter hurdles with a time of 13.95. Benson, for the second time this season, competed alongside former Red Raider and 2014 IAAF World Indoor 60-meter Hurdle Champion Omo Osaghae who finished second in the race with a time of 13.41. The performance came after breaking the Cougar Stadium record in the event at the Bryan Clay Invitational Friday with a time of 13.49 at the Bryan Clay Invitational.
In the men's invitational long jump, Red Raider junior Jerome Wilson finished seventh with a best leap of 7.24-meters (23'-9.00"). Meanwhile, JaCorian Duffield finished sixth in the invitational elite men's high jump clearing 2.18-meters (7'-1.75"). Bradley Adkins cleared 2.13-meters (6'-11.75") to finish ninth.
Kole Weldon finished ninth in the men's invitational elite section of the shot put with a best throw of 18.75-meters (61'-6.25").
The Lady Raider 4x400 relay team, comprised of Montenae Roye-Speight, Christen Rivers, Tiffany Tarver and Amoy Blake, closed the meet finishing fourth overall and second among collegiate teams with a time of 3:33.42. The squad won the event in 2013 with a time of 3:33.25.
Sophomore Nick Rivera competed in the 800-meter run at the Beach Invitational hosted by Long Beach State. He finished 34th with a time of 1:53.02. He competed in both the 800-meters and the 1,500-meters at Mt. SAC Friday.
Texas Tech will continue its road swing next week as the No. 8 Red Raiders and No. 16 Lady Raiders will disperse to both the prestigious Penn Relays and the WT Classic in Canyon.

Steal of the Week: Cruise Across the Atlantic Over Thanksgiving From $54 Per Night
September 27, 2012 | By Erica Silverstein | No Comments
Everyone is looking for the deal of the century. So how do you choose the one that's right for you? Check the Lido Deck each week to get the scoop on our favorite deals — then grab the phone and pack your bags.
THE DEAL: CruiseWise.com is offering a 13-night transatlantic cruise aboard Celebrity Reflection, sailing from Barcelona to Miami on November 18, 2012. Fares for an inside cabin start at $699 per person, outside cabins start from $889 and balconies from $799.
WHAT WE LOVE: From less than $54 per night, you can sail aboard a brand-new ship over the Thanksgiving holiday. If you have a little more in your budget, consider booking a balcony cabin as they're currently selling for less than outside cabins. You might even be eligible to receive up to $125 in onboard credit, dependent on cabin category booked.
WHAT GIVES US PAUSE: While the itinerary features visits to three ports in Spain, it also includes a whopping nine days at sea. Reflection will have plenty of activities to entertain you onboard – from speaker series to cooking competitions, dance classes and spa treatments – but if you prefer exploring different destinations or get claustrophobic when you don't see land for a week, this is not the cruise for you. Also, don't let one-way airfare into Barcelona and out of Miami break your budget. You can compare flight prices on our sister site TripAdvisor's meta-search tool.
HOW TO BOOK IT: For all the nitty-gritty on this deal (including that pesky fine print), click here.
Looking for cruises for under $75 or even $50 a day? We've got dozens listed on our Cheap Cruises page.

Former Managing Director of the NASDAQ Charged With Insider Trading
It's raining insider-trading allegations!
The SEC and DOJ are both bringing charges against former NASDAQ managing director Donald L. Johnson for allegedly obtaining $750,000 in illicit trading over the past three years using early access to privileged client information. "He often placed the illegal trades directly from his work computer through an online brokerage account in his wife's name." None of these insider-trading investigations are gonna make up for the financial crisis, but, hey, at least everyone is going to get a lot better at hiding their tracks. I mean the E*TRADE account should be set up in the mistress's name at the very least. [SEC]

LOS ANGELES - Student-athletes from UCLA's athletic teams will have called over 5,200 Wooden Athletic Fund donors by the end of next week, thanking them for their support of UCLA Athletics over the past year.
A selection of UCLA football and women's volleyball players, in addition to swimming and diving student-athletes, spent nearly three hours on the phone late Monday afternoon and into the evening calling donors to express their appreciation.
"It's definitely great to be able to interact with fans like this," said Dietrich Riley, a junior safety on the football team. "Hearing them answer the phone and express how much they're looking forward to our football season means a lot to me. Without the support of our loyal fans, we wouldn't be able to have this experience at UCLA. Taking some time out of our day to call these people and express our thanks is one way of showing them that we really care."
The week-long event emphasizes how members of the Wooden Athletic Fund provide invaluable support for 700-plus UCLA student-athletes. Every gift has a positive impact on the ability of the student-athletes to succeed, not only in competition, but also in the classroom and the community.
"Spending my evening on the phone with our donors has been a really fun experience," said Kelly Reeves, a junior outside hitter on the women's volleyball team. "I'm sitting up here next to two of my teammates, we've spent over 30 minutes making a lot of phone calls, and I've really enjoyed it. It's fun to go somewhat behind the scenes and talk to our fans and donors to show our appreciation and help promote UCLA Athletics."
More than $11.5 million in charitable donations received by the Wooden Athletic Fund in 2012 have helped provide UCLA student-athletes with more than twice the scholarship funding that was available 10 years ago. To learn more about supporting the Wooden Athletic Fund, please visit woodenathleticfund.com or call (310) 206-3302.

"Say Hi'' week will begin Saturday and offer events across the city through March 8, according the organization. The activities, such as sending edible treats to neighbors or attending meet-and-greets with local officials, are designed to encourage residents to get to know their neighbors. Allison Berry, REACH's community organizer, has said that saying hello to strangers, acquaintances, and neighbors can help create a safer community, break the isolation felt by people experiencing domestic violence, and help citizens look out for each other. The first scavenger hunt will take place March 8 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., starting and ending at the Watch City Brewing Co. on Moody Street. Details on the week's list of activities and advance registration for the scavenger hunt are available online at www.reachma.org; participants in the scavenger hunt can also sign up on March 8 starting at 10 a.m.

Truck Cab
From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 16:16, 11 October 2009 by Grandtheftautodude (talk) (Adding categories)
The Truck Cab is a vehicle in Grand Theft Auto 2 that can be found in the Downtown and Industrial Districts of Anywhere City, there are also two Truck Cabs parked in the RV Park in the Residential District. It has the ability to attach a trailer, however, this tends to make the Truck Cab much slower - especially when turning (as would be expected). This feature is used in at least one mission where the player has to transport a car rigged with explosives to a police station.

It's been a rough week for relationships here at Popdust, given the displays of heartbreak, infidelity and drunken attempts at winning exes back we've seen in new videos. Greyson Chance becomes the latest (and youngest) lover looking to move on after a break-up in new clip for "Unfriend You," going about things in a much more age-appropriate way: shunning her via social media. You see, after this pink-haired, sexy bunny (nice one, G!) broke his heart, she begins flaunting her new relationship both in his face and all over the Internet. Poor Greyson looks for support from his friends and comfort in competitive games of ping pong. But before you think he's going to go the way of Drizzy and self-medicate with one too many Diet Cokes (or something called Flav?) he turns to music, which is that only thing that helps him express his feelings (especially when in the company of pretty girls). Unrelated: The single greatest highlight from the video can be found in this text: "Bro! We're all at my house. Come Hang!" Bros over hoes, always.
The song's title and message are certainly relevant to 2011, speaking directly to the overly connected world in which we live. (Changing your relationship status to either the pleasure of sadness of your many "friends" is almost as bad as the break-up itself, which leads us to climb atop our soapbox and speak to today's youth: Don't go Facebook official! It never ends well.) But in a sea of similarly technologically-inspired songs, our favorite being "Bug A Boo" (R.I.P. pagers), what's the life expectancy for a song rooted in Mark Zuckerberg terminology? JT is already bringing MySpace back, so—gasp—will our eventual grandchildren be asking us what the heck something called Facebook was one day? That is not a world we want to think about.

SIU fans
June 5, 2014
CARBONDALE, Ill. – The Southern Illinois University football team has set the game times for its six home games for the upcoming 2014 season. The home slate will feature five night games and one day game at Saluki Stadium.
"After engaging our fans, students, alumni and community members this offseason, a common request was for more night games," SIU Director of Athletics Mario Moccia said. "With that in mind, our first five home games will be played under the lights. It was also important to add a sixth home game for the second consecutive year, which we were able to do with the addition of the opener against Taylor."
SIU will open the season at home against Taylor University on Thursday, Aug. 28 with a 7 p.m. kickoff. Prior to the game, all freshmen will be invited to participate in the third annual Saluki Sprint across the field.
The Salukis' second nonconference home game will be Saturday, Sept. 13 at 6 p.m. against Southeast Missouri State. It will be Military Appreciation Night. The Traveling Vietnam Wall Memorial will be in town all weekend and on display Saturday.
SIU will open the Missouri Valley Football Conference season with back-to-back 6 p.m. home games against Western Illinois and South Dakota on Saturday, Sept. 27 and Saturday, Oct. 4, respectively. The Western Illinois game will take place on Family Weekend and feature the fourth annual Black Out Cancer game.
Following a pair of road games, the Salukis will host Indiana State for Homecoming on Saturday, Oct. 25 at 6 p.m.
The Dawgs will wrap up the home portion of their schedule with Senior Day on Saturday, Nov. 15 with a 2 p.m. game against Northern Iowa.
Season tickets can be purchased online at SIUSalukis.com, in person at the ticket window in the south lobby of SIU Arena or by calling 877-SALUKIS.

"Phase one was to relocate all the speakers," says McAnally. "They are all aimed at the center of the track. Phase two was to build a sound wall (90 percent complete before the opening race). It really made it quieter. We're trying to make things better for our neighbors."
The track rules already stipulate 82 decibels as the maximum sound reading at the property line. Vehicles exceeding the limit are black-flagged.
"One of our real strengths," says Gage, "is good, solid car counts. We don't have any 10-car divisions. I think Modifieds, for instance, started out last year with 40 and settled down to about 25."
Four divisions of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series run at All American: Late Models, Modifieds, Street Stocks, and Bombers. On an average Saturday night, 1,600 people will fill the grandstands.
Special events include visits by USAC Sprint Cars, Western Scale Racing Association (Baby Grands and Mini Cups), the Northern California Modified Sprint Cars, Junior Focus Midgets, Ford Focus Midgets, and an All-American Vintage Classic.
Enduros at All American have a twist to add interest. "We have a water system of PVC pipe around the track with a pump and a barrel of soap. The system shoots soap and water onto the track," Gage says. "It works pretty well and adds some excitement to the racing."
This year a new class called Interceptors has been added. "We needed a feeder division," Gage says. "We needed a place for people to start racing and we needed to keep the cost down."
Gage's 30 years in a public safety fleet division led him to the idea of using old public safety vehicles, primarily Ford Crown Victorias.
"California buys 4,000 cars a year," he says. "They're readily available. They have 114-inch wheelbases, stock motors, big wheels, and you just put in a rollcage. We have very stock rules. They have to run the catalytic converter and muffler."
Competition equipment includes a racing seat, five-point seatbelt, window net, cutoff switch, and fuel cell. Gage hopes that police and fire departments may be drawn to the division and that the folks who actually drive them on the streets will come and compete against each other.
"We sent out letters to departments telling them about the class. They can decorate the cars any way they want, even theme them," he says. "The first race was going to be July 19, but we've had so much interest that we added a May 10 date."
To keep competitors from pouring too much money into their Interceptor cars, the class includes a $1,500 claim. The rules remind potential competitors that these are "cars we race, not racecars."
What's in the future for All American Speedway?
"We're starting to build some VIP suites," says McAnally. "We're looking at a different variety of food, nicer restrooms. It's all about making it better for the fans."
It must be working. McAnally says last year's attendance was up 66 percent.

Is it fair for schools to throw parties during school hours that can only be attended by students who make good grades? According to Fox News, a brouhaha has developed over a party at a Maryland middle school for high-performing students. The party, also covered by The Washington Post, has apparently riled some parents and education observers who feel that students' self-esteem could be harmed by being barred from participating. Straight A-students got to attend the party during the last period of the day and got to enjoy pizza, a game room, and a DJ. B- and C-students got to attend after school when the pizza was gone.
Some 35 percent of the student body of 806 students were not invited to attend at all. Critics say that separating students by letter grades increases academic tension and could lead to bullying through the creation of a "caste system." Certainly, this is an issue of routine concern: When I was a high school student there were three tiers of classes - General, Advanced, and Honors - and now there are only two tiers. Somewhere along the line parents got upset with the idea that their children were in "General" classes, leaving Advanced and AP as the two tiers.
As a teacher I support the tiered system and the offering of incentives and perks, including parties, based on academic performance. And why not? We have a tiered system in athletics, after all, with student-athletes competing for spots on the Varsity, JV, or "C" teams.
Giving students something to strive for is important for academic motivation. A party is a good motivator. If you have studious friends who are likely to attend, won't you study harder to be able to join them? Won't you work hard to make sure you are not left out?
Critics decry this "stick" method of motivation, preferring that we offer only "carrots" to our youth. This, of course, is unrealistic and leaves students unprepared for the real world. In the real world there are painful "sticks," such as job loss or demotion, that have ramifications much worse than not being able to attend a party. In the real world people are motivated to perform so they will be able to enjoy social niceties and social acceptance...like at a party.
Students should feel a little bad about letting their grades slip. Removing any social sanction for bad grades, such as not being invited to a school party, leads to those bad grades being deemed acceptable. Junior high students, especially, are often not mature enough to feel ashamed of bad grades on their own merit. They only feel bad if there is an external consequence. Not going to a school party is an acceptable consequence: Strong enough to make the student want to try harder next grading period, but not so strong that it should negatively impact his or her life.
So if you want to go to the straight-A party where there is pizza aplenty, put forth the effort to make straight-As. If you want to go to the party at all, make sure you are passing all your classes. Just as we red-blooded Americans wouldn't want a bunch of lazy slackers to get to enjoy the Varsity team banquet, neither should we expect the same underperformance to merit entry into an academic banquet.

As an avid DIY person you will learn that gardening is an amazing gift that we all have available to us. Not only does it save you money but it also gives you a chance to soak up some Vitamin D from the sun plus it can always be added to play time with the kids outside. Children love to learn and a garden is an amazing way to teach them about bugs, plants, soil, and even the need for rain.
One of the easiest things to grow in the garden is Cucumbers. Just make sure you have a bit of chicken wire or a grate the vines can climb up. For those who do not enjoy the fresh and crisp taste of a cucumber the next best thing to make is pickles.
The review today is about Mrs. Wages Kosher Dill Pickles: Quick Process Pickle Mix.
If you plant one row of plants you can easily end up with over fifty cucumbers and they take up a lot of space. The best way to cut down on that space is to can them for future use by making pickles.
Mrs. Wages really is for the everyday person who is new at canning all the way to those who have been canning for fifty years. It tells you step by step what to do on the back of the package and it is a no fail process. The hardest part of the whole project was waiting for the cans to seal.
Overall this product was amazing, it does all of the work for you. You simply cut the cucumbers and stuff them tightly in jars.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming! Well, sort of.
Made it to the gym just now, for the first time in several days. The last couple weeks have been hectic, but mostly in a good way. After I posted last time, a good friend and her 3-yr old daughter stayed with me for a few days. It was fun hanging out with them, but very busy--we did all the touristy stuff (Aquarium, science museum, zoo, parks), and spent a ton of time just catching up.
After they left, things got crazy-busy at work: my volunteer program had a nice write-up in the paper, so we've been meeting and interviewing potential new volunteers like crazy, with something like 60 applications flooding in! Because my volunteers work directly with children, the screening and interview process is pretty time-intensive for each applicant. Meanwhile, our federal reporting, where we tell the government how we've spent their money the past year, is due. So, yeah, crazy...but mostly good stuff!
Then we had a nutty hot spell (96 degrees in Portland is nutballs. We die.), and all I did was sit on my couch, read, and melt. I make no apologies for my uselessness.
And so, today, at last, I made it to the gym. Whew! All I did was the elliptical, but I'm jazzed I went back after some life distractions, and did a few more minutes than the last time I was there. :)
And, not only am I not going anywhere where I might overindulge in BBQ treats, but I'm actually going to help a friend move later this afternoon, so there should be some good calorie-burning happening there--bonus!
Foodwise, I'm re-evaluating the vegan eating. It hasn't been difficult, but I've got to learn how to better manage my protein so I'm not ravenous all the time! I fess to gaining 3 lbs in 2+ weeks, and I also fess to eating carbs like they're going out of style. Bread, crackers, tortillas, rice...no bueno! So for the moment, I'm bringing back a bit of dairy and eggs, and really monitoring my hunger and cravings. I don't mind messing up along the way, as long as I'm learning, too.
Hope everybody has a happy and safe Fourth!

Happy 4th to you too (unfortunately now it's over) You have been way busy!! I congratulate you for trying to do the vegan thing but I don't think it would be for me. There's just certain things I would miss too much. Both of my nieces are vegetarian as opposed to vegan and they eat a large variety of foods. Maybe you might want to consider that instead of being completely vegan and you would have so many more options for protein to choose from.
It's been crazy hot here too. Do you get the humidity in Portland at all. Fortunately, I'm able to be near the water at our summer house when it's this hot. I actually went swimming today, which I haven't done in about two years.... the good news is I remembered how to swim. I kind of hoping it stays hot so I'll still want to go in the lake before it gets too cold again.
Glad you are still hanging in there. Keep Sparking!

I'm wondering about the following equality which I found in my Differential Geometry script:
We are given a $\mathcal{C}^l$-curve $\gamma : I \to \mathbb{R}^n$ where $I$ is an interval and $\gamma$ is a function of the variable $t$. If we now reparametrize this curve, i.e. we make $t$ into $t=t(s)$, a diffeomorphism of the variable $s\in J$ ($t: J \to I$, $J$ an interval), then we have by the chain rule
$$ \frac{\mathrm{d}\gamma}{\mathrm{d}s} = \frac{\mathrm{d}t}{\mathrm{d}s} \frac{\mathrm{d}\gamma}{\mathrm{d}t}$$
So far so good. But now in my script it is asserted that from this it follows
$$\left|\frac{\mathrm{d}\gamma}{\mathrm{d}s}\right| = \left|\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{\mathrm{d}s}\right| \left|\frac{\mathrm{d}\gamma}{\mathrm{d}t}\right| = \left|\frac{\mathrm{d}s}{\mathrm{d}t}\right|^{-1} \left|\frac{\mathrm{d}\gamma}{\mathrm{d}t}\right|$$
and I don't exactly see why the second equality holds. I think it must have to do with $t$ being a diffeomorphism because for arbitrary functions I'm quite sure this doesn't hold. Can anyone clear this up? Preferably with a proof of $\left| \frac{\mathrm{d}t}{\mathrm{d}s}\right| = \left| \frac{\mathrm{d}s}{\mathrm{d}t}\right|^{-1}$ in the case of diffeomorphisms.

Secrets in your Doodles
Yes most of us doodle! Even if we don't admit to it! But whatever the doodle, it's often a totally unconscious drawing whilst our mind is concentrating elsewhere.
It's surprising too, that we tend to repeat the same selection of favourite patterns, i.e. dots, boxes, triangles, circles, our names - the choice is endless. Doodling can help to relieve tension particularly if we press hard it is said that it can calm our nerves too!
Why do we doodle?
Because we are unlocking some of the hidden anxieties in our everyday life.
But what do they mean?
Let's work out a few explanations.
Triangles - Suggest an aggressive personality, highly competitive
Flowers - are imagination - love of beauty and a search for love
Webs - an intricate web shows a desire to accumulate friends, money and status
Stars - symbols of hope and aiming for success and achievement
Stairs and steps - open to relationships
Squares as opposed to rounded shapes indicate a need for order and structure
Slashed lines - this is an angry person
Open boxes - a practical and logical thinker
Writing your own name over and over again means egotism
Bold arrows - very determined, great drive, direct
Retraced patterns - a perfectionist
Grapes - signify hospitality, gregarious and fun loving

In what Republicans called "a Virginia version of Harry Reid's nuclear option," Democrats invoked new rules giving them control of all state Senate committees.
With Democratic Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam casting the tie-breaker Tuesday, the evenly split Senate was reorganized on a 21-20 vote.
Republicans branded it "a day of outrageous power grabs." They maintained that the existing Senate rules and organization governed for a four-year term, coinciding with the Senate election cycle.
"It is a partisan game to advance a radical agenda without accountability to Virginia voters," state Sen. Tom Garrett told Watchdog.org.
"The new Senate rules subvert the Virginia Constitution by creating a veto and vesting it in the chairman of the Rules Committee," he said.
"It is no overstatement to say that (the Democrats') creation of a super senator in the form of the Rules chairman makes John Edwards (D-Roanoke) far more powerful than even the lieutenant governor."
Garrett, a former commonwealth attorney from Louisa County, said Edwards "can singlehandedly pull any Senate bill from the purview of the full body and kill it in a party-line vote without having the accountability and transparency of a floor vote on the record."
Democrats say they're merely doing what Republicans have done when they held a majority.
But Republican Sen. Bryce Reeves says there is a big difference.
The Fredericksburg lawmaker said the Senate has a "long-standing tradition of reorganizing every four years," when all 40 seats are up for election. The next quadrennial Senate elections will be in 2015.
Several Republicans were booted off committees Tuesday to create Democratic majorities.
New Majority Leader Dick Saslaw, D-Fairfax, said in a statement:
"The voters have made it clear. They have had three consecutive elections in which they could have given Republicans indisputable control of this chamber, but every time they chose to elect a Democrat.
"We now have the majority, and we have a responsibility to use that majority to get to work on the issues that voters care about."

As students prepared to leave for Thanksgiving vacation, the halls of Park City High School were swirling with rumors and questions. "Were you there," and "did you get arrested?" were repeated time and again.
In light of the highly publicized "party bust" Nov. 23 that sparked outrage from teens and adults throughout Park City, I took it upon myself to investigate the legal consequences faced by youth caught with alcohol.
Judge Shauna Kerr of The Summit County Justice Court was kind enough to discuss the issue and surprised me with her sympathetic outlook.
While consumption of alcohol is strictly prohibited for underage drinkers, Judge Kerr explained it is often those between 18, the legal age of adulthood, and 21, the age at which consumption of alcoholic beverages becomes legal, who potentially face the most severe penalties.
Underage drinking is a Class B misdemeanor, and can carry a sentence of up to six months in jail and as much as $1,194 in fines. Bail is typically set at $525, Kerr said.
Additional penalties can include the suspension of driving privileges. In accordance with state laws, first-time offenders can have their driving privileges revoked for up to a year. Repeat offenders could face two license-less years.
Worse yet, such charges remain on a young adult's permanent record for a minimum of four years, and must often be disclosed to colleges. For teens already faced with the stress of planning for their future, such charges can be devastating.
Judge Kerr advised any students that find themselves in a predicament with the law, "If you get caught once, don't aggravate it because the charges are really going to mess up college applications, driver's licenses and other things that are important to kids that they should be focusing on. I think it can happen to anyone but what I'm seeing is, unfortunately, some of the same kids doing it over and over again. That's what's most frustrating to me."
Captain Justin Martinez of the Summit County Sheriff's Office also spoke with me about the teenager's rights and the differences in the legal treatment of those older and younger than 18.
According to Martinez, "Everyone in the United States of America has the same guaranteed rights."
Whether 16 or 60 and no matter the crime, every American must be treated in accordance with their constitutional rights including protection against self incrimination. Captain Martinez explained that because of this right teens caught at parties do not have to submit to breathalyzer tests, although such tests can clear a teen's name if they haven't been drinking. "You won't get in trouble for what other kids do," added Martinez.
Captain Martinez also cautioned teens 18 and older to remember that they are adults, and that as such they can be taken to jail. Up to their 18th birthday, teens caught drinking will ultimately be released to their parents.
The laws against underage drinking are are intended to encourage students to steer clear from beer and other alcoholic beverages in the hopes of protecting them from the serious developmental consequences stemming from alcohol consumption at a young age.
After talking to Judge Kerr and Capt. Martinez, I still think it is unjust that kids that are 18 face more severe consequences than their 17-year-old classmates. I'm inclined to believe a permanent stain on a youth's record does significantly more harm for their future than it does good, but the laws that allow for such punishments are very real and are something would-be underage drinkers should factor into any party decisions they make.
Fair or not, punishments created with the purpose of protecting teens from their own decisions exist. With the threat of marred transcripts, the loss of transportation, and heavy fees coupled with the inherent risks of alcohol, it seems to me that it might be wise for teenagers to just stay away from the bottle for a few more years.

1. Don't drink if you are under 21. The best way to avoid trouble with the law is to not break the law.
2. If you are caught drinking, cooperate with law enforcement. In the words of Captain Martinez, "we're not the bad guys, we want to work with the parents and students. Cooperate with us and we'll cooperate with you."
3. When in legal trouble, avoid aggravating charges. Don't continue to engage in illegal activity.
4. If you feel you are in an unsafe environment, leave. Call a responsible person for a ride home.
5. If you make the decision to drink, do it responsibly. When all is said and done, everyone in our community wants to keep our youth safe.

Stag and Hen Nights
It is very unusual nowadays for parties to take place the night before the wedding day; most happen up to a month before. It is practical and fun for the hen and stag parties to take place at the same time. Where time and budget allow, extending the stag/hen over a whole weekend, or even further to a short holiday, means that the proceedings can be more memorable and relaxed. It is often difficult to come up with an idea that is sensitive to everybody's budget so different ideas should be considered. The number one rule is that the stag/hen party is an opportunity for friends to have fun with the bride/groom. Efficient forward planning will ensure that the event goes with a swing and runs smoothly.

Goya's Glass
The Duchess of Alba, known as Goya's muse, recalls the passions of youth on her deathbed in the royal court of eighteenth-century Madrid. A young woman defies the protocols of her arranged marriage and pursues love—and the life of a published writer—until her readers condemn her as a danger to society in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Nina Berberova escapes persecution during the Russian Revolution and flees to Paris, where the intelligentsia naively covet the promise of a Soviet Union. These three women attempt to find passion and intimacy in worlds that rarely accommodate female desire. Goya's Glass is an unforgettable novel of guilty pleasures coursing through history.
"Monika Zgustova's concerns are close to my own: the fate of the individual in the hands of totalitarianism. She is an outstanding writer, whose fiction invokes the politics and culture of people throughout history."
"Three centuries, three solitudes, three unbridled passions, three indomitable women—Monika Zgustova is a born storyteller. Goya's Glass is a magnificent achievement."
"The portraits of three women of different nationalities and centuries in Goya's Glass reveal a unique voice that owes as much to Kundera as to Flaubert, to Hasek as to Tolstoy. Monika Zgustova is a perfect example of a writer without borders, whose literary creations include the cultures and languages that she has accumulated throughout her lifetime."
