With the popularity of online education in the U.S., many schools in Connecticut have developed distance learning programs, and students are reaping the benefits. In 2013, 11 four-year Connecticut colleges and universities offered an online program. Quinnipiac University now has 15 fully online degree programs for students at the two-year, four-year and graduate levels. Its School of Business has three master's degree programs available – including a 46-credit MBA program – for advanced students who require scheduling flexibility. Also, the University of Connecticut has hundreds of online courses across dozens of departments that any student at the school can take.
To offer an idea of the breadth of academic options in the state, here's a snapshot of Bridgeport, Connecticut's largest city.
Bridgeport attracts postsecondary students with its two-year and four-year institutions and flexible study options. The University of Bridgeport (UB) has its main campus in the city, located near the Long Island Sound. This independent university attracts a diverse population of more than 5,000 learners, with a quarter of the student body from other countries. UB also features popular options for cooperative education and accelerated learning. Students can pursue academic goals at both the undergraduate and graduate level, including master's and doctoral degrees from UB's professional and health sciences programs.
Another postsecondary option is Housatonic Community College (HCC), which serves numerous towns in southwestern Connecticut, with its base in Bridgeport. HCC has designed programs to meet the diverse needs of area residents, including short-term, noncredit courses and career-oriented certificate programs. Some associate degree programs target prospective transfer students, while others focus on preparation for various occupational paths.
University of Bridgeport has provided distance learning courses since 1997, and its offerings appear among U.S. News & World Report's Best Online Programs for 2014. UB's web-based information technology program, rated 11th nationwide, awards online and hybrid master's degrees in computer science and technology management. The university also ranks in the top 30 for online bachelor's programs and graduate engineering degrees.
To give students added flexibility, UB Online has a rolling application schedule, and courses typically take between 8 and 16 weeks. Although students can access lecture materials when convenient, these classes require regular participation. Web-centered courses could entail on-campus attendance, for example, for exams or orientation. Undergraduate online programs encompass majors such as health care administration, organizational leadership and general studies. Online graduate students can seek master's degrees in areas such as dental hygiene, human nutrition, or global development and peace. UB also offers Internet-based postgraduate continuing education.
At the two-year college level, Housatonic Community College offers self-paced studies such as the iMath program. This computer-based program lets students work on their own schedule, learning step by step and taking on-campus tests when they feel ready to do so.
Before making a decision about where to attend college, students need to consider the financial investment. Tuition is one of the most significant costs involved in higher education, displaying a wide range depending on where a school is located. Being an established resident is one way to reduce tuition. In 2012, Connecticut residents paid $15,300 in yearly tuition, making it the 7th highest in the nation for in-state rates.
Living expenses make up another significant portion of the budget for higher education, especially room and board. Living costs are an estimated 30 percent higher in Connecticut than the national average, which is an important consideration when setting a college budget, particularly if the student is planning to live off campus. This table lists the different aspects included in the cost of living (COL) in Connecticut's cities and towns and compares them to the national average (shown as 100 percent):

Connecticut students must attend an accredited institution in order to receive financial assistance. Several regional and national accrediting agencies set the standards for U.S. colleges and universities, and the primary regional accrediting body in Connecticut is the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Regional accreditation can indicate the ultimate peer review of an institution, and most public and private not-for-profit schools seek it. National accreditation works a bit differently, with an agency covering all 50 states. For example, the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) offers accreditations to qualified for-profit online schools in the United States.
Another arm of accreditation is specialized, meaning that a law school or business school may receive official approval by an independent organization focused on that discipline. The University of Connecticut's business school is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International).
Online schools in Connecticut – from Ivy League universities to local community colleges – provide a unique opportunity for students to pursue degrees and certificates from the location of their choice. For example, some four-year universities offer not only online degrees, but also a vast collection of open courseware. The schools that made this list of the Best Online Colleges in Connecticut for 2015-2016 have accrued a record of outstanding performance in distance education, based on dollar value, student support services and key factors that encourage academic success.

Where do you see your online programs in the next five years? Beyond?
Charter Oak will increase the amount of competency-based credit on our student's transcripts. Lower cost competencies, such as tests and portfolios, will replace more expensive courses. This will increase speed to degree, lower costs for students and increase retention rates. Additionally, with will expand our programming by increasing the number of workforce programs that serve as direct conduits to jobs. We will stress degrees that result in third party certifications.
How would you describe your institution's approach to online learning?
The University of New Haven (UNH) is committed to online learning that provides an active, engaging, and rigorous education that equals and often surpasses traditional on-campus learning. Faculty teaching in our online programs know how to create online communities where learners can share and create knowledge, and develop the 21st Century skills that employers seek.
What makes your online programs so valuable to students?
UNH's programs are about people and a passion for learning. Students will connect with the university's research faculty and with instructors who are experienced practitioners in the field as well as with students who may be around the block or across the world. Our online courses provide a real-world education with real people, not just interactions with buttons on a computer screen or cartoon avatars.
Where do you see your online programs in the next five years? Beyond?
The University of New Haven plans to introduce two or more new online programs each year going forward. Current plans include the introduction of two new online master degree programs and a bachelor completion program for Fall 2014.

- The section on "Fundamental theory of matrix eigenvectors and eigenvalues" under "summary" doesn't treat eigenvectors as solutions of the eigenproblem properly: the solution set is generally infinite, not finite; the dimensions of the eigenspaces are finite. Language on "eigenspaces" is needed to clean this up.

Decomposition theorems for general matrices[edit]
The decomposition theorem is a version of the spectral theorem in the particular case of matrices. This theorem is usually introduced in terms of coordinate transformation. If U is an invertible matrix, it can be seen as a transformation from one coordinate system to another, with the columns of U being the components of the new basis vectors within the old basis set. In this new system the coordinates of the vector are labeled . The latter are obtained from the coordinates v in the original coordinate system by the relation and, the other way around, we have . Applying successively , and , to the relation defining the matrix multiplication provides with , the representation of A in the new basis. In this situation, the matrices A and are said to be similar.
The decomposition theorem states that, if one chooses as columns of n linearly independent eigenvectors of A, the new matrix is diagonal and its diagonal elements are the eigenvalues of A. If this is possible the matrix A is diagonalizable. An example of non-diagonalizable matrix is given by the matrix A above. There are several generalizations of this decomposition which can cope with the non-diagonalizable case, suited for different purposes:
- the Schur triangular form states that any matrix is unitarily equivalent to an upper triangular one;
- the singular value decomposition, where is diagonal with U and V unitary matrices. The diagonal entries of are nonnegative; they are called the singular values of A. This can be done for non-square matrices as well;
- the Jordan normal form, where where is not diagonal but block-diagonal. The number and the sizes of the Jordan blocks are dictated by the geometric and algebraic multiplicities of the eigenvalues. The Jordan decomposition is a fundamental result. One might glean from it immediately that a square matrix is described completely by its eigenvalues, including multiplicity, up to similarity. This shows mathematically the important role played by eigenvalues in the study of matrices;
- as an immediate consequence of Jordan decomposition, any matrix A can be written uniquely as A = S + N where S is diagonalizable, N is nilpotent (i.e., such that Nq=0 for some q), and S commutes with N (SN=NS).
Some other properties of eigenvalues[edit]
The spectrum is invariant under similarity transformations: the matrices A and P-1AP have the same eigenvalues for any matrix A and any invertible matrix P. The spectrum is also invariant under transposition: the matrices A and AT have the same eigenvalues.
Since a linear transformation on finite dimensional spaces is bijective if and only if it is injective, a matrix is invertible if and only if zero is not an eigenvalue of the matrix.
Some more consequences of the Jordan decomposition are as follows:
- a matrix is diagonalizable if and only if the algebraic and geometric multiplicities coincide for all its eigenvalues. In particular, an n×n matrix which has n different eigenvalues is always diagonalizable; Under the same reasoning a matrix A with eigenvectors stored in matrix P will result in P-1⋅A⋅P=Σ where Σ is a diagonal matrix with the eigenvalues of A along the diagonal.
- the vector space on which the matrix acts can be viewed as a direct sum of its invariant subspaces span by its generalized eigenvectors. Each block on the diagonal corresponds to a subspace in the direct sum. When a block is diagonal, its invariant subspace is an eigenspace. Otherwise it is a generalized eigenspace, defined above;
- Since the trace, or the sum of the elements on the main diagonal of a matrix, is preserved by unitary equivalence, the Jordan normal form tells us that it is equal to the sum of the eigenvalues;
- Similarly, because the eigenvalues of a triangular matrix are the entries on the main diagonal, the determinant equals the product of the eigenvalues (counted according to algebraic multiplicity).
The location of the spectrum for a few subclasses of normal matrices are:
- All eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix (A = A*) are real. Furthermore, all eigenvalues of a positive-definite matrix (v*Av > 0 for all non-zero vectors v) are positive (or non-zero for a non-negative-definite matrix);
- All eigenvalues of a skew-Hermitian matrix (A = −A*) are purely imaginary;
- All eigenvalues of a unitary matrix (A-1 = A*) have absolute value one;
Suppose that A is an m×n matrix, with m ≤ n, and that B is an n×m matrix. Then BA has the same eigenvalues as AB plus n − m eigenvalues equal to zero.
Each matrix can be assigned an operator norm, which depends on the norm of its domain. The operator norm of a square matrix is an upper bound for the moduli of its eigenvalues, and thus also for its spectral radius. This norm is directly related to the power method for calculating the eigenvalue of largest modulus given above. For normal matrices, the operator norm induced by the Euclidean norm is the largest moduli among its eigenvalues.
Algebraic multiplicity[edit]
The algebraic multiplicity of an eigenvalue λ of A is the order of λ as a zero of the characteristic polynomial of A; in other words, if λ is one root of the polynomial, it is the number of factors (t − λ) in the characteristic polynomial after factorization. An n×n matrix has n eigenvalues, counted according to their algebraic multiplicity, because its characteristic polynomial has degree n.
An eigenvalue of algebraic multiplicity 1 is called a "simple eigenvalue".
In an article on matrix theory, a statement like the one below might be encountered:
- "the eigenvalues of a matrix A are 4,4,3,3,3,2,2,1,"
meaning that the algebraic multiplicity of 4 is two, of 3 is three, of 2 is two and of 1 is one. This style is used because algebraic multiplicity is the key to many mathematical proofs in matrix theory.
Recall that above we defined the geometric multiplicity of an eigenvalue to be the dimension of the associated eigenspace, the nullspace of λI − A. The algebraic multiplicity can also be thought of as a dimension: it is the dimension of the associated generalized eigenspace (1st sense), which is the nullspace of the matrix (λI − A)k for any sufficiently large k. That is, it is the space of generalized eigenvectors (1st sense), where a generalized eigenvector is any vector which eventually becomes 0 if λI − A is applied to it enough times successively. Any eigenvector is a generalized eigenvector, and so each eigenspace is contained in the associated generalized eigenspace. This provides an easy proof that the geometric multiplicity is always less than or equal to the algebraic multiplicity. The first sense should not to be confused with generalized eigenvalue problem as stated below.
For example:
It has only one eigenvalue, namely λ = 1. The characteristic polynomial is , so this eigenvalue has algebraic multiplicity 2. However, the associated eigenspace is the axis usually called the x axis, spanned by the unit vector , so the geometric multiplicity is only 1.
Generalized eigenvectors can be used to calculate the Jordan normal form of a matrix (see discussion below). The fact that Jordan blocks in general are not diagonal but nilpotent is directly related to the distinction between eigenvectors and generalized eigenvectors.
Recent edits[edit]
I've made a number of recent edits to try to change the tone of the article. It reads like a textbook, which wikipedia is not. I've removed a lot of material in the process, usually stuff that's spelled out in greater detail than is suitable, summaries, or stuff that's just not relevant.

Largest: algebraic vs. magnitude?[edit]
I'm reading documentation for ARPACK and I come across this:
c WHICH Character*2. (INPUT) c Specify which of the Ritz values of OP to compute. c c 'LA' - compute the NEV largest (algebraic) eigenvalues. c 'SA' - compute the NEV smallest (algebraic) eigenvalues. c 'LM' - compute the NEV largest (in magnitude) eigenvalues. c 'SM' - compute the NEV smallest (in magnitude) eigenvalues. c 'BE' - compute NEV eigenvalues, half from each end of the c spectrum. When NEV is odd, compute one more from the c high end than from the low end. c (see remark 1 below)
It's clear what "largest (in magnitude)" and "smallest (in magnitude)" mean, but what are the "algebraic" ones? Is this algebraic multiplicity or something else? —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 03:51, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Not any basis is orthogonal[edit]
"Any eigenvector basis for a real symmetric matrix is orthogonal" --- really? The zero matrix is symmetric, and all vectors are its eigenvectors. Yes, the orthogonal basis can be chosen; but the given formulation is inaccurate. Boris Tsirelson (talk) 20:06, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
I revert the edit of 220.127.116.11. It is far not enough to require that the matrix is not zero. The zero matrix is only the simplest example. Please do not claim statements unless you find them in a source. Boris Tsirelson (talk) 15:16, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Just out of interest, can you specify a counterexample? Oli Filth(talk|contribs) 16:59, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sure. It is a matter of multiplicity. If at least one eigenvalue is of multiplicity 2 or more then we can choose non-orthogonal basis vectors from the corresponding eigenspace. Boris Tsirelson (talk) 17:39, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Then can we add in parentheses: (If there are n distinct eigenvalues, the eigenvectors must be orthogonal.)? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 13:39, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
Why is this called "spectral" decomp./theorem? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 06:37, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- Because the set of eigenvalues is sometimes call'd the spectrum. Sometimes they correspond to energy levels. The absorption/emission spectrum of an atom is based on the differences between its energy levels, and a particular "series" is based on the energy differences between various states and a certain given state. That's the connexion between energy levels and a spectrum. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 06:38, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Merge proposal[edit]
I think this article and Diagonalizable matrix should be merged. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 06:38, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Symmetric Matrices[edit]
If you relax the constraint that the matrix be real, symmetric matrices can produce mutually orthogonal eigenvectors in the complex space, which is very nice in quantum mechanics since eigenvector1* times eigenvector2 should equal zero. --18.104.22.168 (talk) 05:48, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
Regarding "Eigendecomposition of a matrix"[edit]
Is the beginning of the "Eigendecomposition of a matrix" paragraph correct?
I tend to think it should be phrased
- "Let A be a square (N×N) matrix with N linearly independent
eigenvectors, q_icolumns, a_i \,\, (i = 1, \dots, N). Then A can be factorized as \mathbf{A}=\mathbf{Q}\mathbf{\Lambda}\mathbf{Q}^{-1} where Q is the square (N×N) matrix whose ith column is the eigenvector q_i of A ..."
Chlopisko (talk) 04:52, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
- Correct. N linearly independent columns is merely equivalent to A be invertible, which is insufficient to make A diagonalizable (for example, the defective matrix is invertible). N linearly independent eigenvectors however means that the A cannot have any strictly generalized eigenvectors, so its Jordan form has to be diagonal. I'll change it. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 03:17, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Dimension (Generalized eigenvalue problem section)[edit]
in the Generalized eigenvalue problem section, do the vi vectors have to be of dimension n? Shouldn't we write
- ≡
I see no reason why the number of generalised eigenvectors should be equal to their dimension, but as this is a bit beyond my math skills, I prefere to ask before modifying.
cdang|write me 12:49, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- Mmmm, I found a source telling me that A and B are n×n matrices. This is consistant with the begining of the article, but as this seciton is about a "generalised" case, it is not obvious that this limitation also applies here. So, I reformulate: would it be a good idea to remind that we are still in the case of square matrices?
- cdang|write me 13:15, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Confusion about (in?) Eigendecomposition of a matrix: Example[edit]
I am trying to understand this topic/example. In it is Λ (the matrix with eigenvalues on the diagonal) which is surrounded by Q and Q−1, while A is on the other side of the equation. But in the example, it is the other way around. What am I missing? Or what is the article missing? Orehet (talk) 11:24, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
Functional Calculus and orthogonality condition for Q[edit]
18.104.22.168 (talk) 21:24, 2 December 2015 (UTC) In the section "Eigendecomposition of a matrix" it is mentioned that the eigenvectors are usually normalized but they need not be. While that's true, we should note that in the "Functional calculus" section for the formula's to hold, we need Q to be an orthogonal matrix. I just found it's never mentioned in the text, which could be misleading.
Example correction[edit]
Shouldn't we add the condition c!=0 and d!=0 in the Example? Pokyrek 8. March 2016 —Preceding undated comment added 07:37, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Next school year, 275,000 education jobs in the U.S. will be cut, according to a study by the American Association of School Administrators (AASA).
The association surveyed its superintendent members in April to document the prospect of personnel cuts and hiring freezes for the 2010-11 school year.
More than half (53 percent) of the districts surveyed will freeze hiring. Eighty-two percent will cut and eliminate 27,516 education jobs, comprising:
• 14,878 teacher jobs,
• 2,582.5 support personnel jobs,
• 1,501 administrative jobs and
• 8,554.9 classified jobs.
Since the study's sample size represented almost 11 percent of the nation's school districts, AASA estimated that nationally 275,000 education jobs are on the chopping block for 2010-11.
The association pointed out that those 275,000 jobs represent 92 percent of the 300,000 jobs the Obama administration estimated were saved by last year's stimulus act.
"Faced with continued budgetary constraints, school leaders across the nation are forced to consider an unprecedented level of layoffs that would negatively impact economic recovery and deal a devastating blow to public education," AASA Executive Director Dan Domenech said.
The association noted that more than 48 million students will show up for school this fall, regardless of any federal action to stave off education job cuts.
The results of the survey "should be a clear call to action for Congress and the administration for continued federal support to help school districts stem the tide of the economic downturn," said AASA President Mark Bielang, superintendent of Paw Paw (Mich.) Public Schools.
A separate AASA study released last month found, among other things, that 38 percent of districts plan to implement transportation cuts next school year.

The culture of the present is haunted by the lost potential of possible futures that never came to be. Mark Fisher has a name for this tendency, in which contemporary culture bears the mournful traces of past futures; he calls it hauntology. If we are to escape our haunted present we must establish a new relationship with the future. But that will also require a new relationship with the past. We can't simply dismiss as mistaken those people who lived their present motivated by ideas of a future that failed to appear. We can't just say they lived mistaken lives. The future is not the present, even if some in the mid 1990s thought it was. All potential timelines keep flowing into the future and yet the future never fills up.

South Texas report: Islanders men to play in Corpus Christi Coastal Classic
The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi basketball team will be in the field for the 2014 Corpus Christi Coastal Classic, tournament organizers announced Wednesday.
The Thanksgiving weekend exempt tournament will also see TCU, St. Louis, Mississippi State, Bradley, Radford, Mississippi Valley State and North Carolina A&T take part in the event.
"We're excited to be a part of the Corpus Christi Coastal Challenge this year," Islanders coach Willis Wilson said. "Last year, the Coastal Bend saw a Sweet 16 team (Virginia) and the runner-up from the NIT (SMU) play in the American Bank Center, and this year's field could have just as much star power. It should be a great experience for our team, our school and our city and we can't wait to be a part of it."
Each team will play four games in the tourney ? the first two at campus sites and the final two rounds at the American Bank Center on Nov. 28-29. A&M-Corpus Christi will play its first two games of the tournament on the road ? at St. Louis and at Bradley ? before returning to Corpus Christi for the final two games.
Three Isles honored
Three Texas A&M-Corpus Christi players earned Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Scholar-Athlete honors. Sophomores Javier Pujol and Guillaume Rauseo from the men's team and senior Ashley Garza from the women's team were each recognized for their outstanding accomplishments in the classroom.
Pujol, a native of Barcelona, Spain, earned the honor after posting a 3.56 GPA in economics.
Rauseo, from Morschwiller-Le-Bas, Alsace, France, achieved a 3.55 GPA in mechanical engineering.
Garza was accepted to dental school after graduating with a 3.75 GPA.

Just my simple question... for those of you with children enrolled in Montessori schools, does bullying among children happen like it does in public schools? I can't see it happening since one of the premises for the Montessori Method is learning and showing respect for other people, places and things.
But since my son is only 2-1/2 I obviously have no experience with it. I only remember my own public school years where although I wasn't ever physically bullied, people would make fun of my name and call me the Avon lady and just the general cruelty that happens among children.
So if your children have ever had any negative experiences with other kids in Montessori school, I'd like to know how the teachers dealt with it.... although like everything else I am sure the teachers taught the children how to be mature and to respect others.
And this even became a concern for me because I was sharing with my mom one of the names I've really thought of using for my baby that I am expecting and she right away wondered if other kids would call her a mean variation of the name and I started to tell my mom that she probably won't have the same experience I had in public school since I don't think that sort of thing happens in Montessori schools - but then I realized I have no clue what actually happens between children at Montessori schools, I only know what I've read in Dr. Montessori's books and Paula Polk Lillard's books.

As I have already mentioned several times, it mightily seethes in America, a fact, where many Europeans are also not aware because of the silence of the media.
A month ago I reported on the action 'Truckers want to cripple America three days,' and thousands of trucks gather in Washington on Friday to protest - check out:
2 MILLION BIKERS RALLY INTO WASHINGTON DC Remembering 911
Now an action has been announced, which prompts the veterans on Sunday the 13th October also in the capital to meet.
The 1 million veterans march to the memorial in Washington.
Yes! They've been talking about this for a while, organizing it and such. Facebook closed down their first page.
I'm pressed for time so I didn't read the article, but everybody needs to stock up. If they do have a big impact Shelves will empty quickly.
People need to be activists today and if they sit back, this country is going down the tubes.
I am greatful for the Veterans March.
I hope more people do the same, make your voices be heard loud and clear.
To all Veterans lets stand together and march. I cannot be there but I will be there in spirit. I pray that this march will be a success. We Veterans need to tell Congress to do there job. We Veterans wore the uniform to keep this Country safe. We need more veterans to run for office to protect our benefits. Our Veterans and Our Troops deserve better. God Bless America and God Bless Our Troops

Economic Transitions to Neoliberalism in Middle-Income Countries
Policy Dilemmas, Crises, Mass ResistanceNeoliberalism is based on the systematic use of state power to impose, under the veil of 'non-intervention', a hegemonic project of recomposition of capitalist rule in most areas of social life. The tensions and displacements embedded within global neoliberalism are nowhere more evident than in the middle-income countries. At the domestic level, the neoliberal transitions have transformed
A Brief History of NeoliberalismNeoliberalism - the doctrine that market exchange is an ethic in itself, capable of acting as a guide for all human action - has become dominant in both thought and practice throughout much of the world since 1970 or so. Its spread has depended upon a reconstitution of state powers such that privatization, finance, and market processes are emphasized. State interventions in the economy are

How Migration is Changing Our WorldIt is one of the most pressing and controversial questions of our time -- vehemently debated, steeped in ideology, profoundly divisive. Who should be allowed to immigrate and who not? What are the arguments for and against limiting the numbers? We are supposedly a nation of immigrants, and yet our policies reflect deep anxieties and the quirks of short-term self-interest, with effective

Routledge Perspectives on DevelopmentBy 2030 more than sixty percent of the world's population will live in urban areas, with most of the world's population growth over the next twenty-five years being absorbed by cities and towns in low and middle income countries. What are the consequences of this shift? Demographic pressure already strains the capacity of local and national governments to manage urban change. Today, nearly one
Immigration, Social Welfare, Global GovernanceVigorous debates swirl around issues of globalization, as global political economic relations in a nation-state system are complex and incompletely understood phenomena. The experiences of the late 1800's and first half of the twentieth century suggest that globalization requires nurturing to ensure that societies garner the advantages offered by globalization and manage the risks and fears

Emerging powers and the changing development landscapeThe emergence, or re-emergence, of numerous nations as partners and donors in international development from global powers such as Brazil, China and India, to Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia, to former socialist states such as Poland and Russia has become a subject of intense interest and analysis.

The framework is then used to address some of the most pressing
The BRICs and Emerging Economies in Comparative Perspective
Political Economy, Liberalisation and Institutional ChangeIn the past ten to twenty years the global political economy picture has dramatically changed with the emergence of the economies of Brazil, Russia, India and, notably, China (BRICs) as big players and competitors of the advanced economies in the West and Eastern Asia. The book comparatively analyses institutional change in the BRICs. This book examines the BRICs by analysing their institutional

Bigwheel Electrosoul
You would have to be a real jerk to not like our music. B-)
Bigwheel Electrosoul is a project created by djcheckone of futurejazzproject. The band is made up of members in the local community and is under the direction of djcheckone. The sound is half electronic half live and frequently uses some of Colorado's top musicians, singers and MC's. Some of the regular musicians you might expect to see out on the gig are Dominic Lalli, Jared Silo, Charlie Mertants, Mark Donavan, Venus Cruz, Dent and Garrett Sayers. At times Bigwheel has acted as a house band for national acts such as Bahamadia, Camplo, Eric Roberson, Phat Kat, etc. Each artist is very seasoned nationally/internationally and has shared stages with most of their idols and beyond.
Bigwheel stems from improvisation and becomes what it is. A song typically starts off with guidelines that come from the MPC or Ableton Live and, depending on the instrumentation, artists put their own unique stamp on the moment.
Guided ambiguous live music.
Check out the sounds on the audio page.
Also check our MySpace page for videos and other audio samples:

The Western Motorcycle Company Hellfury is a chopper-style motorcycle featured in Grand Theft Auto IV.
It is based on a West Coast Choppers El Diablo series bike, one of the most radically designed choppers in the game. The bike features a flame-based rim design and a fang-shaped rear fender.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Hellfury is one of the choppers available with a rather unique design. For Episodes from Liberty City, however, other bikes, specifically the Diabolus and the Hexer, are featured with their designs based on that of the Hellfury.

The Hellfury's handling is similar to Freeway. It turns widely, even at very low speed. However, it has good acceleration with a good top speed which can help to easily win races.

- In GTA IV, Jayvon Simson rides a unique rich red Hellfury in "Ruff Rider", leading Niko on an extended chase through Algonquin.
Grand Theft Auto IV
- Usually seen driven by the Angels of Death or parked in BOABO and Beechwood City.
- 2 were parked in front of Brightback Corporation Building on BOABO, Broker.
- A Hellfury is seen on the northern side of the museum in the mission Museum Piece. It seems to replace Johnny's parked Hexer in the parallel mission in The Lost and Damned, as it is the most similar bike.
- Can be obtained during the mission Ruff Rider by killing Jayvon Simson.
The Lost and Damned
- Can be delivered by Clay Simons after the mission "Action/Reaction".
The Ballad of Gay Tony
- A golden-brown Hellfury can be found in the alleyway next to Lost MC Clubhouse in TBoGT, parked next to the side entrance.
- Many seen outside Luis Lopez's safehouse.
- Parked next to the 69th Street Diner in Hove Beach, only in TBoGT.
- Can be found parked in the midst of some apartments just east of the car wash in Beechwood City.
- Can be found as the main traffic bike in the first few minutes of TBoGT.
- There is a 70 percent chance that it will spawn outside the AoD clubhouse. However, other choppers can also spawn in place of the Hellfury.
Notable owners
- Johnny Klebitz owned a Hellfury in the original game, before it was replaced by the Hexer in the episodes.
- Jayvon Simson
- Along with the Angel, this bike is favored by the members of The Angels of Death.
- In GTA IV and EFLC, the default radio station in the Hellfury is Liberty City Hardcore.
- Strangely, this bike is used by The Lost in TLAD, but in GTA IV and TBoGT, it is used by the Angels of Death.
- The bike was possibly considered to appear in Grand Theft Auto V, as a police scanner file named "0x1B679D8D" mentions it by name.
- The Hellfury does not have a license plate, deeming it illegal for the road.

Job Growth OK for Now but Sequester Hasn't Hit Yet
New U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data provide some welcome good news, as employers added 236,000 new jobs in February and the unemployment rate dropped from 7.9% to 7.7%. Even though government cutbacks have slowed economic growth over the winter, this drag on the economy has not resulted in slower employment growth.
I wouldn't break out the champagne yet, however, as the sharp cuts in government spending implemented a week ago today will add roadblocks to recovery.

Often, you'll want to save an effect to use for later on a different clip. Media Composer makes this easy through saving out effect templates. Let's take a look at our segment here, which has four different effects on it. I've got my Mask and my Resize, my Flop and my Color Effect. Let's say I want to save out my color effect, which is just making the clip black and white, so that I can use that on all of the segments in the sequence. What I'm going to do is save this to a Bin and then apply that to the various segments in this sequence.
Let's go ahead and create a bin. I'll call it Effect Templates, and we'll make that live in our 8.5 folder. Now if I go into the Effect Editor, you'll see that if I click on my mask, my mask parameters are here, my Resize, my Flop and my Color Effect and the Color Effect is the thing I want to save out. So I'm going to click on this icon up here, drag it to my bin, and I'm just going to call this Black and White, and if I want to close this nest all at once, I go ahead and double- click on the bottommost layer.
And now I can take this effect and just drag it anywhere I want. It's as if I'm dragging it from the Effect palette. If I want to apply it to every single segment in the sequence, I just have to Shift+click and double-click in my Bin, and you'll see that every segment in the sequence will get the Black and White color effect. That's that. You just have to save it out and use it again as needed.
Now, one thing you should know is that if you have an animated effect, like my resize here, as you remember it zooms in and then zooms back out, you can't save that out and use it again on a new clip, because the only value it takes is the value that is assigned to the very first keyframe in the segment. So because I had four different keyframes working together to make that one effect, it's not actually going to translate all four keyframes if I want to apply that to a new effect.
That's the one thing you need to be aware of when saving out effects. Now I want to save out a transition. Let's create a transition, where it flashes to white in between clip A and clip B. So, I'll go into my Effect palette and I'll go to Blend and Dip to Color, and I'll apply it to a transition, go into my Effect Editor, and again I'm looking for the part where I get a full black frame.
I'll go ahead and put a keyframe there and instead of using a black background color, I'm going to click here on this button, choose white. So now, it's going to flash to white. ] If I want, I can make it stay white for two or three frames. I'll go ahead and go forward two frames, put another keyframe, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and now I've got a nice little flash to white.
If I would like to use this transition again and I want it to appear in the Quick Transitions window, I can do this. I do this simply by going to create a new bin, naming it exactly Quick Transitions. It has to be named exactly Quick Transitions or this won't work, and then save this effect to my Quick Transitions bin and I'm just going to rename this, Flash to White.
As soon as I close this now, if I go to my Quick Transitions window and I click on this menu, you can see that Flash to White now appears in this menu. The neat thing about this is that it's easily accessible and then I'm able to customize it further if I want to. If I want it to last more than a second, if I want it to last two seconds, 24 frames in a second here, just quickly type in 48.
This is now a two-second Flash to White, add it, and we're good to go. If I want to add the transition to all of the edits, in between and out, I can come up to here, add Flash to White, apply to all between In and Out and it does it for me. You'll certainly find yourself often saving out effect templates, because as a rule, shows tend to exhibit a similar look and feel throughout the entire piece.
Therefore, shots often need similar treatments applied in multiple locations, so effect templates will serve you well.

LL Cool J
From Todd Smith, Part 2: Back to Cool (Def Jam/Universal)
This song has a funny backstory, actually. LL Cool J released an unspeakably lousy album (last year's Todd Smith), subsequently realized it was an unspeakably lousy album, and decided it was Jay-Z's fault. To compound the tragedy, he has now aligned with G-Unit. Joining 50 Cent's armada allows James Todd to puff his chest (with an inhaler, wheezing with noticeable valor) while slurping on 50's legacy. "Queens," creepy synth kettles and all, is marred for the most of obvious of reasons (Tony Yayo), with an incongruous cast of notable Queens MCs spanning the '80s (Kool G Rap) to the '90s (Prodigy) up to the present day. But it's LL's song, so he is entirely justified in sounding like a righteous jerk: "Now they on my balls again/'Cause 50 my man." Unfortunately, that ain't too far from where the truth sits.
Ja Rule featuring Lil Wayne
From The Mirror (The Inc/Universal)
At one point, it got so bad for Ja Rule that his name became a verb in barbershops and rap battles everywhere: You got Ja Rule'd, son. He's now re-emerged from the trenches to release "Uh-Ohhhh!", an urgent attempt to re-establish his credibility, Ja's raging, bloodthirsty ego bleeding acid over sparse, funky somersault bleeps. Of all the things 50 did to Ja's career, the worst is that he completely disoriented the man once regarded as the ultimate indestructible bridge between rapping and singing, now reduced to barking, demonizing, and wan name-calling. Lil Wayne might as well record a song with a brick, honestly.
Upcoming Events
Keith Murray featuring Tyrese
"Nobody Do It Better"
From Rap-Murr-Phobia (Koch)
Keith Murray raps like an animala fierce, jubilant Mike Tyson type given to endless ferocity and innumerable facial gesticulations. Too bad Rapp-Murr- Phobia feels like a budget-clearing retirement party, even though he's not retiring. (Voluntarily.) Tyrese unsuspectingly adds a degree of romance here, crooning in a moist fix ("That's why you're lovin' me/'Cause nobody do it better") that has a slippery but oddly appealing fuck-me-in-front-of-the- neighbors honesty. This song is wet with promise, but not for Murray's career.

Santa Monica Observer issue 48 : Page 1
Page 7 Volume XI Number 48 Community, Diversity, and other Overused Words™ November 17 - 23 2008 U.S. of Love United States of Love at Bergamot Station 500 elementary, middle, and high school students in the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District were given the chance to attend their own art opening, enti- tled "The United States of Love," on November 12 at the Santa Monica Museum of Art. Local artist Martin Kersels created an instructional video, and the museum provided the students with materials to make felt flags guided by the theme of love. Now spread over the wall of Bergamot Station's G gallery, the flags display pic- tures of hockey sticks, moth- ers, and pets. "The United States of Love" is part of the Wall Works program, offering free- of-charge opportunities for students to participate in the making of large-scale public artworks designed by a promi- nent artist. Martin Kersels' ret- rospective, "Heavyweight Champion," is on display through December 13. State says: Rebuild, Forget the Fire Risk LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Twice in the span of a month, wildfires have ravaged the same northeast corner of greater Los Angeles, destroying hundreds of homes and the good life offered by California's scenic beauty at the city's edge. Visiting a mobile home park in the chaparral-covered foothills where 500 dwellings were lev- eled in the latest firestorm, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said on Sunday: "Every single time there is a fire like that we learn new things." This time, he said, the state learned it should apply stricter building codes to mobile homes. But at no point did the popular governor say Californians shouldn't be living in these high- risk fire areas. Quite the contrary. "We want to let the people know that the state is with you, we're going to help to get your homes back and your structures back, to get your lives back," Schwarzenegger said. Over 1,000 homes have been destroyed since last Thursday in a swarm of wind-driven brush fires that struck a luxury coastal enclave of Montecito, the north- eastern Los Angeles suburb of Sylmar and several communities in Orange County. Some of the same Sylmar res- idents chased from their homes this past weekend were forced to evacuate last month by two other fires that burned about 100 struc- tures in nearby areas. Many displaced residents, whether they inhabited humble mobile homes or opulent man- sions, are bent on rebuilding. Brittney Fowler, 23, who lost the Yorba Linda home she had lived in her whole life, said her family would "definitely" rebuild their large house overlooking a wooded canyon. Many homeowners are drawn to neighborhoods on the fringes of urban areas in search of a greater connection to nature. Others find more affordable housing there than what is avail- FIRE, Page 3 Sharing the Green with the Garden School Foundation By Kat Thomas Observer Life & Style Editor & Worm Keeper Last week I had the privi- lege of attending this year's Harvest Moon Party, a benefit soiree for the Garden School Foundation and the 24th Street School Garden. "Did you got alone?" my mom asked when I was recounting my eye opening time there later, "because if you did you could have taken the worms as a date." For those who weren't around for my article on the Santa Monica Festival, but I have discovered and since become an avid worm com- poster, much to the disbelief of my non-Santa Monica living parents. But I am not alone. Here in Santa Monica we live in the garden Shangri La of LA. We are spoiled rotten with three farmers markets, wonderful cookbooks written by dedicated food writers such as Amelia Saltsman, and more farmers market fresh restaurants than we know what to do with. Here in Santa Monica many of us fully embrace the slow food movement, choosing a lifestyle of eating fresh and local. But this is not how the rest of the world lives. There are many places right outside our door where fast food is not an unhealthy indulgence, but the only available food choice. These are places where asphalt and concrete are the norm. Where kids have never had the option of growing something fresh. They are the places where it seems nothing can grow, well almost nothing. Sometimes the people who live in the world of heirloom tomatoes, pluots, and spring mixes with ten types of lettuces in them get together, pitch in, and help out. The select Westsiders chose to inspire those who weren't born with the option of growing up in a green GARDEN, Page 2

TCFS: Transparent Cryptographic File System
To explain the mechanics of TCFS we will first review the working of NFS. NFS is a simple distributed file system that allows a file system server to export its file systems to several clients. Applications, running on a client, access the remote file system via the usual system calls. The client kernel checks to see whether the requested data is on a local file system or an NFS file system. In the latter case, the kernel issues a request to the server; for example, if the application needs to read a block from a file on a remote file system, the client operating system issues a read request to the server. The server, upon receiving a read request, reads the data from its local file system and sends it to the client, which then passes the data to the application. It is important to remember that NFS provides a minimal form of user authentication. The server receives from the client the uid of the user requesting the data and checks if that user is allowed to access the file containing the data. Thus, it is possible for a user to change his uid on the client (for example, the superuser of the client machine can use the command su to become any user) or to modify the NFS client so that a different uid is provided with the request.
When using TCFS, files can be stored in encrypted form on the server file system with a different encryption key for each user. The encryption key is provided by the user to the TCFS client through the tcfslogin utility. (A detailed description of the TCFS utilities appears below.) Reading a block of data from the server is achieved following the NFS protocol, with one important exception: once the requested block is received by the TCFS client, it is decrypted before being passed to the application. Similarly, a block of data written by an application is encrypted with the user's key before being passed to the TCFS server. During a read or write operation the user's encryption key never leaves the TCFS client, and data travels between server and client only in encrypted form. Moreover, this approach addresses the problems related to user authentication. While it is still possible for a user to impersonate the legitimate owner of a file, he will receive only encrypted data.
Set up your TCFS server just as you would an NFS server—by exporting the file system you wish to share with your clients. Usually this is done by editing the /etc/exports file and restarting the NFS daemons (rpc.mountd, rpc.nfsd).
Retrieve xattrd from the TCFS package. It can be found in the linux/fs/tcfs/contrib/xattrd directory of the TCFS distribution. Copy xattrd to the daemon directory, usually /usr/sbin, and add it to your rc files. For the Slackware distribution, edit the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 file to look like Listing 1. rc.inet2 File.
For Red Hat or any other distribution using the System V init script model, create a file in the rc directory (/etc/rc.d/init.d in Red Hat 4) for starting and stopping the xattrd daemon and make symbolic links in the rc\#.d directories to start it. In Red Hat you can do this using the tksysv script. For an example of building the xattrd rc scripts, see Listing 2. File for Building xattrd Script.
Now, reboot the system or run xattrd as root to prepare the server for TCFS. Notice that xattrd reads /etc/exports at startup and so if you change /etc/exports, you must restart xattrd. xattrd adds functionality to the NFS server and is not meant to be a replacement; therefore, it is possible to use the same server as both a TCFS server and an NFS server.
Installing TCFS on the client is somewhat more complex, since most of the work is performed by the client—the kernel must be rebuilt to support TCFS.
The TCFS distribution provides a tar file to be unpacked in the /usr/src directory. We assume that the kernel sources are in the /usr/src/linux directory (this is the standard for most Linux distributions). Install TCFS with the following steps:
Untar TCFS to create the directory /usr/src/linux/fs/tcfs which contains the code for TCFS and its related utilities.
Apply the tcfs.diff patch found in /usr/src/linux/fs/tcfs/patches to the kernel. Do this by changing directories to /usr/src and then typing patch < linux/fs/tcfs/patches/tcfs.diff.
Recompile the kernel. In the FileSystem section you will be asked about TCFS. It is possible to install tcfs as a module or built-in. In both cases it is necessary to recompile the kernel following the usual procedure.
Install the utilities. Once a kernel with TCFS support has been installed, change directory to /usr/src/linux/fs/tcfs/contrib/binaries where you will find the binaries for the TCFS utilities, and type make<\!s>install. It is also possible to compile the source code for the TCFS utilities located in /usr/src/linux/fs/tcfs/contrib/src.
Enable use of TCFS. The superuser of the client must generate a key for each user using the tcfsgenkey utility. This requires the user's password, so it must be done with the help of the user. The utility tcfsgenkey builds a database (/etc/tcfspasswd) where the keys used to encrypt files are stored. These are kept encrypted using the user's login password as key. In future releases of TCFS we are planning to provide support for smart cards, thus dispensing with the need of keeping the key (albeit in encrypted form) on the client.
TCFS utilities. The command mount provided by TCFS is capable of handling TCFS mount operations. We encourage you to use our version of mount in place of the standard mount command, since TCFS needs some information that the standard mount doesn't provide. To mount a file system with TCFS, type:
mount -t tcfs server:/remotepath /localpath
TCFS also supplies the passwd command which is used to update the encryption key database. It acts like the standard passwd command, but also updates the tcfspasswd file after changing the password. Changing your password with the old passwd command will result in the wrong encryption key being extracted from /etc/tcfspasswd, and thus, in a complete loss of data.
After login, each user has to execute tcfslogin. Utility tcfslogin requests the user's login password to decrypt the encryption key and pushes the cipher key in the kernel module. To remove the key, the user must execute the utility tcfslogout, which needs a TCFS file system mounted to work. In future releases we plan to include support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module), making it unnecessary to input the login password twice.
The lsattr and chattr commands act just as they do in EXT2. The TCFS versions support a new flag, X, to enable encryption of files. You can change status of a file (encrypt or decrypt) by typing:
chattr $ <+|-> $X

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Yosemite Closes One-Quarter of Cabins Over Hantavirus
Yosemite National Park, which recently warned 1,700 visitors to its tent cabins that they might have been exposed to potentially
Yosemite National Park, which recently warned 1,700 visitors to its tent cabins that they might have been exposed to potentially deadly hantavirus, closed 91 of the Curry Village shelters on the eve of the Labor Day holiday after finding mouse droppings in the tent walls. Three people were confirmed infected after summer visits, two of whom died, and a fourth person was strongly suspected to have hantavirus.
Since discovering the cases of hantavirus, Yosemite has been cleaning and repairing the tent cabins to remove traces of mice and block them from returning. All the infections came in what are known as "signature" cabins, which are double-walled and insulated for use in the winter. Workers found droppings in a number of tents between the walls and insulation.
"We want to make sure that guests are safe and we just weren't satisfied that what we were able to do was sufficient," said park ranger Jana McCabe.
Hantavirus affects the pulmonary system and is fatal in about one-third of cases. Nearly 600 people have been confirmed infected since it was discovered in 1993.
Visitors to other lodging within the park and working with outside proprietors to find accommodations for guests,
Just saw this on the news two nights ago. I have a few friends climbing there and I immediately thought of them. Do you know if the stats about the 600 people is confined to the National Park since 93 or to the US (or beyond)?
