Record number of Muslim delegates at Democratic convention
The Columbus Dispatch - September 05, 2012 11:08 AM
A record number of American Muslims are attending this year's Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
CAIR says estimates show that more than 100 delegates represent about 20 states at the convention that runs through Thursday. That's up from 43 Muslim and Arab-American delegates at the 2008 Democratic convention and 25 at the 2004 convention.
"The more than doubling of Muslim delegates at this year's Democratic National Convention is a direct result of their hard work and grass-roots organizing within the Democratic Party," Robert McCaw, the Council's government affairs coordinator, said in a news release. "It is also a sign of the American Muslim community's growing civic engagement and acceptance in the Democratic Party."
McCaw said a handful of Muslim delegates attended the Republican National Convention last week in Tampa, Fla.
He said there are a significant number of Muslim voters in Ohio and other swing states such as Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The Council and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee have joined in a campaign that seeks to involve American Muslims in the campaign and election.
In 2008, about 90 percent of American Muslims voting in the presidential election cast ballots for Democrat Barack Obama, according to a poll by the American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections. CAIR says Muslims were encouraged by a political action group to vote for Republican George W. Bush In the 2000 presidential election and for Democratic U.S. Sen. John Kerry in 2004.

a)I'm packing up and moving my ass from NY to CA...and it is consuming my life....plan to be back and blogging this weekend.
b)Thanks for all your support while I've been applying and crying over Grad schools...tis over now. I'll be starting my doctorate in the fall, like every good Korean Child should before they die. Now all I need to do is get married and pop out a kid or two and my work here is done.
c)My Korean Mom threatened to come and "clean" my apt in NY before I leave then go and "clean" my apt in CA when I move in. Although I admit, there is something magical about Korean Mom "cleanings". Everything is just so damn SPARKLY afterwards.
d)I am now 'Tweeting'

Visually, the car will look much more aggressive than the F-Type coupe thanks to model-specific aerodynamic add-ons and eye-catching paint colors. The coupe will benefit from a lowered and stiffened suspension and upgraded brakes on all four corners.
If the rumor proves true, the F-Type R-S will go on sale - likely as a limited edition - in 2016 at the very earliest. The coupe variant of the F-Type will be unveiled at a major auto show next year.

Hey guys,
I have been given a diagram of an electrical LCR circuit, containing a 200ohm resistor, 5000microF capacitor, 4H inductor with a 100V DC power source.
I need to find 2 differential equations, which are probably both second order:
The first is for the voltage across the capacitor over time(which is definitely 2nd order)
The second is for the current though the inductor over time.
Is there anyone out there that can help me?
Thanks in advance
First of all I think you should have posted this on "Physics help forums" (http://www.physicshelpforum.com/physics-help/).
Please refer RLC circuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It will give you some idea. I think by using equation, you will be able to answer the questions. I have'nt done LRC circuits in the university therefore I may not be able to answer your questions regarding this matter (the reason why my answer took so long to appear). But I hope the given suggestion along will help you.

Rio Hondo College Launches New App
November 21, 2013 • 1,159 views
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Information on everything from Academic Counseling to the Veterans Service Center is now available in one convenient, streamlined and pocket-sized place – on any smart phone or tablet.
The new Rio Hondo College app, which launched this fall, contains hours and contact information for several student services, a calendar for campus programs and events, College resources such as AccessRio and Rio Café, and – most importantly to many commuters – a feature that locates where a student parked his or her car.
The app is part of the Student Mental Health Awareness and Support Program, which was created with a $245,000 grant from the California Mental Health Services Authority. The grant, which is being dispersed over two years, has funded wellness education workshops, online access to social service referrals, peer-to-peer mentoring programs, and mental health awareness events.
"The Rio Hondo College app is designed to make the College's services more accessible to students," said Superintendent/President Teresa Dreyfuss. "That aspect of the app dovetails nicely into what the Student Mental Health Awareness and Support Program is looking to achieve. However, the residual benefits also include a wonderful convenience to anyone who downloads it, including faculty and staff."
"El Paisano," the student newspaper at Rio Hondo College, gave the app glowing reviews for its ease of use and information, calling it "beneficial for the everyday student [with] many features [that] will make college life easier with all the information you want in the palm of your hand."
Content managers are constantly maintaining the app by uploading the most up-to-date and relevant information.
"This new app is improving student life by offering students a one-stop shop for the College's wonderful student services," said Board President Madeline Shapiro.

Display typefaces are usually suited to one task. A type might be perfect when a designer needs the blackest type, or the thinnest type, or the most swashes. But James Puckett wanted to design a new one-weight workhorse with lasting value. He wanted a typeface to look novel and classic, like modernist furniture. And it would feel soft and heavy, like cumulus clouds of liquid platinum.
Gigalypse was conceived from a kind of superellipse known as a squircle. A squircle is a square with no straight lines; it has round corners and round sides. Gigalypse's O is a squircle and every other shape was derived from it.
Strong precedent exists for using a squircle as the basis for a design. Piet Hein's design for Sergels Torg in Stockholm and the Azteca Olympic Stadium by Pedro Vázquez and Rafael Alcérreca are both superellipses. Squares have been the basis of iconic products including Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona chair and Jonathan Ive's Powermac G4 Cube.
As a square sans Gigalypse can look smart, serious, and even futuristic. Round corners and curved sides add warmth and humor tempered by sophisticated geometry. This soft sophistication makes Gigalypse work whenever heavy display type is called for.

Making the decision - should I go?
- Do you have the physical stamina to stand outside in the cold, in a large crowd, for six hours or more, and then spend additional hours getting back home or to your hotel?
- Are you comfortable in extremely large crowds?
- Can you walk long distances to get to and from your destination?
- If you are planning to bring your children can you care for and keep track of them in large crowds for long hours?
What's the best mode of transportation for me?
- Bike
- Public Transit
- Bus
- Car
- Check the weather forecast.
- Sign up to receive Alert DC text or email notifications while you're in town
- Cell phone use may be limited. Have an alternate plan for staying in touch.
- Pack light and right.
- Wear warm clothes and comfortable shoes. Bring food, water, medications, maps, tickets
- Don't bring prohibited items
When You Arrive
- Know where you are: Mark it on a map, make a note and/or take a photo
- Designate a meeting place and time in case you get separated from your group. Exchange contact information.
- Be prepared to walk long distances to get to your destination.
If traveling on a bus:
- Have a "captain" of the bus responsible for your trip.
- Write down your bus number and the location where it is parked.
- Write down a roster of passengers so you don't leave anyone behind. Include mobile phone numbers.
- Consider using the "buddy system" so someone else knows whether you made it back.
- Announce a planned departure time and make sure everyone knows it.
- Familiarize yourself with your surroundings so you can find the bus when you return.
- Get a map from one of the parking lot staff to show where your bus is.
While You Are Here
- Expect long lines to get through security checkpoints. Be patient.
- Find your "spot."
- Be prepared to stand "shoulder to shoulder" in large crowds.
- Have fun and have realistic expectations. The crowds and security restrictions could make it hard to catch a glimpse of the President in person.
- Maintain contact with your group, but be aware that cell phones may not work because of high demand. Use text messages to send critical messages.
- Locate bathrooms, first aid tents, and a place to get warm. Call 911 in an emergency.
Ready to Leave
- Meet up with your group.
- Return the way you came: walk back to your Metro stop, parking area or drop-off spot.
- Be patient. It could take a long time to get home.
- If you get left behind, call 311 for assistance.
- If there's an emergency or evacuation, don't panic, there is a plan.
If traveling on a bus:
- Take attendance to make sure you don't leave anyone behind.
Double check your attendance before leaving.

Five Ingredients or LessYes
Taste and Texturebuttery, fruity, hot & spicy, juicy, sweet
Type of Dishpie
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- 6 tbsp cold butter, diced
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1¼ cups heavy cream
- 5 whole star anise
- 3 large egg yolks
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp light brown sugar
- 4 ripe Bosc pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 9in (23cm) tart pan with a removable bottom
- Baking beans
Combine the flour and ginger. Add the butter and rub it with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Mix the egg yolk with 3 tbsp cold water. Add to the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together, adding water if needed. Gather into a thick disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 1/8 in (3mm) round circle and use to line the tart pan. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring the cream and star anise to a boil over low heat. Remove from the heat and let stand for 1 hour. Whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar. Remove the star anise from the cream, and whisk the cream into the yolks.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until melted. Add the pears and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes, until tender and coated in caramel. Cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), with a baking sheet in the oven. Arrange the pears in concentric circles in the tart shell, then pour in the cream. Place the tart pan on the baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the filling is set. Let cool on a wire rack. Remove the sides of the pan and serve.

For the quadratic to even have real solutions for m, the discriminant must be non-negative, i.e. . No calculus needed.
For the other question, differentiate both sides of the original equation:
If the line is a tangent at the point (x,y), it means that x = -6 and dy/dx is undefined, i.e. the denominator of dy/dx is zero. This occurs only when . So try substituting (1,6) and (-1,6) into your original equation and find k.

Christmas in July Food Drive
Drum roll please! The final tally for the Christmas in July Food Drive - 26,151 pounds! Fantastic!
Thank you so much to the hundreds of generous donors who came out on a hot July day to be the Hands & Heart of Jesus and give to the food drive. You are truly making a difference in your community.
This annual event is to let you know about the struggles families have, especially during the summer months. We are asking listeners to donate canned and packaged food and personal care items. These items will go directly to local food banks.
If you missed the 6 hour food drive, no worries! You can (and we encourage you to) contribute to local food banks at any time. Your donations are welcomed!
Here are just a few of the items that the food banks can use. Remember, family size portions are best. Large bags of beans and rice or flour aren't as good as small family size bags.
Canned tuna
Canned soups
boxed cereal
rice (2-5 lb size)
pinto beans (2 -5 lb size)
canned vegetables
Canned fruits
Peanut butter
powdered milk or baby formula
personal Hygiene items like tooth brushes and paste
bar soap
laundry soap

Felicity Huffman Wants A Face Lift
"Desperate Housewives" star Felicity Huffman is toying with the idea of cosmetic surgery.
She explained, "I am all for plastic surgery. I can't wait to get my face lifted but my husband [William H. Macy] says, 'No, don't do it!' There are a lot of people out there who are disasters and you think, 'Why did you do that?' and I do think it's a slippery slope.
"Like cola, it's addictive - you can't have just one face lift."
The actress turns 50 next December.

Churches Resigns, Rouleau Named Interim CEO at Tuesday Morning
March 5, 2013,
Michael Rouleau
DALLAS-Brady Churches has resigned as president and CEO of closeout retailer Tuesday Morning, and the company has appointed Michael Rouleau as interim CEO.
Most recently, Rouleau was president and CEO of Michaels Stores. A Tuesday Morning statement said he would manage the company's day-to-day operations as the company conducts a search for a permanent CEO, for which it has engaged Spencer Stuart, a global executive-search firm. Rouleau will continue to serve on the Tuesday Morning board, which he joined in November of last year.
Churches said he and the Tuesday Morning board "have determined that this transition is in the company's best interests." He became president and CEO last September, succeeding Kathleen Mason, who was let go by the retailer last June.

It's hard for a woman to feel comfortable in her own skin in today's society.
Our bodies are judged, sexualized and marginalized whether we realize it or not. This is especially true when it comes to our breasts. From implants to breastfeeding to mastectomies, breasts are often a hot topic of debate, and sadly many of these issues are used to shame women or make them uncomfortable in their own skin.
Such is the case of Jodi Jaecks, a breast cancer survivor who underwent a double mastectomy as part of life-saving treatment. Jaecks is healthy once again, but she will forever carry the scars of her experience — quite literally. Her body is healed and healthy, but her mastectomy scars will never fully go away, and that can make wearing binding tops (such as swimsuits) painful and irritating.
However, rather than give up on a sport she loves (and a sport which helps to keep her healthy on the inside and out), Jaecks asked Seattle Parks and Recreation Department to consider their policy on topless swimming when it comes to women who are breast cancer survivors and who cannot swim comfortably with a tight top on. It took months for the Parks and Recreation Department to allow her request (after pressure from the public made her case a nationwide story), and even now, Jaecks is only allowed to swim topless during adult-swim hours. Furthermore, the Parks Department announced that only Jaecks could have such consideration—other breast cancer survivors would have to ask permission and be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Although Jaecks secured the ability to swim topless at certain times, she is still unhappy with the Seattle Parks' additional requirements that she can only swim during adult swim hours and she is the only one allowed to swim topless. Dewey Potter, spokesperson for the Parks Department, added insult to injury by stating that the park was merely trying to "protect" children, and that a public pool isn't the place to carry out an agenda.
Yet what are we protecting our children from? The sight of a strong, healthy, confident woman swimming in a pool? And what agenda does Jaecks have, other than fighting for her right (the right of millions of women like her) to be comfortable in a public place? After surviving cancer and making the brave decision to undergo a double mastectomy and wear her scars proudly, the absolute last thing anyone should do is shame or judge Jaecks for her decision to continue living her life proudly. We don't have the right to politicize her breasts (or any woman's breasts) and we certainly don't need to hide our children's eyes from the sight of a female body, especially considering most kids spent their early years being fed and nourished by breasts!
Jaecks' continued fight is a inspiration to women everywhere, especially survivors who have to 're-learn' their body all over again and become comfortable with their new breasts post-treatment. I applaud her strength and hope that the Seattle Parks Department will take their efforts a few steps further so that all survivors will have the right to swim freely without fear of judgment or censure. After all, this isn't about an "agenda," it's about giving women the right to own their bodies proudly and completely, especially if they are survivors.

Morehouse Model Creates Stir, Debate
Shantella Y. Sherman | 11/4/2009, 6:14 p.m.
When Morehouse College President Robert M. Franklin announced the school€s new €Appropriate Attire Policy€ in October, he opened up a Pandora€s Box concerning the parameters of Black self-expression. The private, all-male historically Black college in Atlanta, Ga., has banned tooth art or grills, earrings, do-rags and sagging trousers on the sprawling 61-acre campus. The policy also prohibits plaited hair, dreadlocks and women€s attire.
Morehouse College, founded in 1867, prides itself on creating €Renaissance Men.€ The administration expressed concern that many of the conservative policies, far more relaxed since the 1990s, had led to a student body that resembled media stereotypes of failure and degradation. In the age of Obama, Franklin said, those policies needed to be re-established and enforced.
€The attire policy is only one element of a comprehensive student development program that not only outlines appropriate on-campus dress, but also challenges students to discuss the balance between individual expression and social responsibility,€ Franklin said in a statement to clarify the school€s position. This is an ageless debate that calls each generation to discuss, discern and formulate solutions that work for their time and their circumstances,€ he said.
Franklin, 55, said that the policy change was the result of more than two years of discussions on aligning student development with the College€s historical mission of producing educated and ethical leaders who are well-read, well-spoken, well-traveled, well-dressed and well-balanced.
Irv Randolph, managing editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, the nation€s oldest African American newspaper, said that the return to a more conservative dress policy at Morehouse is part of a larger reality check needed among African Americans.
€Young men will be entering the work force and will need to know that this is unacceptable. Job recruiters are on campuses at any given time. They see men poorly dressed and they will make some type of judgment about that and those young men as individuals, but also those types of men coming from that college. Standards have been relaxed so much that it is necessary,€ Randolph, 51, said.
Like Morehouse, the Tribune is representative of an institution whose centuries-old legacy is predicated upon racial uplift. The two also share similar dress policies that include: no jeans, shorts or earrings for men, and mandates jackets and ties. Randolph said that the policies long preceded his tenure at the 125-year-old paper and were designed to engender a sense of legitimacy in the industry.
€Our community has always had different standards of dress because we had to show that we were credible. Our White counterparts didn€t have to prove themselves in this way. We are dealing with stereotypes and we would be naive to believe that, in the broader society, Black-owned or Black-operated institutions €" whether they be colleges or newspapers, are not believed to be €less than€. We can€t go and give folks ammunition by presenting a poor image of ourselves,€ Randolph said.
One of the most hotly debated issues regarding the Morehouse attire policy is the prohibition of female attire among their male students. The ban includes clothing, as well as accessories such as purses and pumps. Viewed as an affront to positive relations between Morehouse and the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) communities, some accuse the college of using the items outlined in the new policy to smoke screen a homophobic stance.
Support from the GLBT communities across the nation has been generous. Nathaniel Davis, a senior at Columbia College in Chicago, Ill., said that he is baffled by Morehouse€s directive and is pleased that so many people across the country are taking a closer look at the policy.
€I would have bucked that. Students are paying to go to colleges and universities whose creeds speak of embracing the beauty of themselves, but in the process, Morehouse in talking specifically about Black men, are trying to define what a black man is,€ Davis said.
€ If a boy wants to go to class €whipped€ and go to class with a dress on, so long as he is getting the grades, there should be no problem. At a collegiate level, exploration of identity, including sexuality, is a rite of passage,€ Davis said.
For Davis, 23, being an openly gay Black man who cross dresses, means having the option from one day to the next of dressing either in men€s or women€s clothing. The Omaha, Neb., native said that he has been fortunate that his academic career has led him to universities that embraced his choices. However, he is concerned that other colleges and universities are attaching clothing styles to their codes of conduct.
€Your representation should be your grades, how you are doing as you matriculate, but I think it is ingrained in our [Black] culture for us to be homophobic. Listen to our music, our messages and it is very clear: stay in the closet,€ Davis said.
€Among the people Morehouse lists as great alum are loads of homosexual men who did not have the freedom to express themselves among their own people. The older generation is losing their control and looking at us like we are screwing up the nation. I am not the stereotypical Black man. We need to examine all of us, all Black people,€ he said.
Franklin and the Morehouse administration insist that the policies have nothing to do with the sexual orientation of their students.
€Since the policy was released, a lot of attention has centered on the standard that prohibits men from wearing women€s clothing on campus. Some critics have concluded that Morehouse seeks to discriminate against certain groups of students, specifically gay, transgendered and bisexual men. This is not our intent,€ Franklin said.
€In fact, we have worked diligently to ensure that Morehouse is a safe, inclusive and respectful community with a strong commitment to social justice, diversity and respectful tolerance,€ the university president said.
Hampton University has since instituted an appropriate attire policy, which also encourages its graduate business students with locs or braids to cut their hair. Bennett College in Greensboro, N.C., has adopted a policy comparable to Morehouse€s.
€Young African American men in particular need a reality check. With a recession and unemployment the way it is €" particularly among young Black men who have these high unemployment rates €" someone has to make them competitive. The reality is that people make snap judgments about others based on their appearance, dress and speech,€ Randolph said.

TITANIUM RAIN Nominated For 2013 Audie Award
February 20, 2013 § 1 Comment
The Near-Future, Science Fiction, War Epic From AudioComics
is Chosen as Finalist in the Categories of Audio Drama and Original Work.
AudioComics is proud to announce that their 2012 "audio movie" production of Titanium Rain: Episode One, adapted by Josh Finney from the Arachia Entertainment graphic novel by Finney and Kat Rocha, has been nominated for the prestigious 2013 Audie Awards in the categories of Audio Drama and Original Work.
Sponsored and presented each year by the Audiobook Publishers Association (APA), a not-for-profit association that "advocates the common, collective business interests of audio publishers," the Audies is considered the Oscars of the American audiobook industry, recognizing outstanding achievement in audiobooks and spoken word entertainment. The Audie Awards will be presented in New York City on May 30, 2013.
Set in the year 2031, during a civil war in China that has spiraled into global conflict, Titanium Rain: Episode One introduces audiences to USAF pilot Alec Killian and the members of Phoenix Squadron, a biotech-enhanced elite force who walk the line between man and machine. The audio adaptation was directed by Audie-winning AudioComics co-founder William Dufris, and has received unanimous praise from critics and fans alike:
Dirk Maggs, award-winning Director/Producer of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for BBC Radio, has called Titanium Rain, "One of the best examples of immersive entertainment in a creative field undergoing a huge renaissance at the moment."
AudioComics' association with the husband-and-wife team of Finney and Rocha will continue in the fall of 2013, with the recording of their "cyberpunk-meets-Trainspotting" graphic novel Utopiates, published by Finney and Rocha's own 01Publishing company.

The solution is but in my work, the answer will have something to the 4th power on the top which will be impossible to cancel out. What have I done wrong?

Culture is getting sickerFebruary 05,2013
Culture is getting sicker
The same Times Argus (Jan. 24) in which the editorial mused on the idea of making judges aware of the cost effects of their decisions, featured a lengthy article about the fatal crash in Rutland caused by a young fellow huffing Dust-Off while driving.
A girl was killed, a young man, not particularly intending to kill anyone, may have to spend the rest of his life in prison. Lets say that would be 50 years. According to the editorial, the price of justice in a 20-year sentence would be $900,000. Do the math for 50 years. This amount would be borne by the taxpayers.
Apparently, the young man in Rutland was unemployed and idle. He may well have been been growing up on the edge of, or in, the same sick culture as exists in other towns and cities around the nation where young people are rudderless, or just bored, or angry, or even desperate.
That culture is ignored, neglected, or attacked by authorities who, it seems to me, have neither wisdom nor compassion.
We, the taxpayers, allow that culture to get sicker and sicker. So lets say its fair that we pay the price for the scapegoats to rot in prison.

Do you remember the story of the Three Little Pigs? The Big Bad Wolf had no problem blowing down the houses of two of the pigs. One of the pigs, however, had a sturdy house. Carpenters use a unique rule to make sure that the rooms of your house are well built.
The Math Connection
In order to make sure that the corner of a room is square, builders need to create a 90-degree angle in the corner. How can they do this? They use a special calculation, called the 3-4-5 rule. This rule reminds them to measure three feet from the corner in one direction and four feet from the corner in the other direction. Next, the builder measures the distance between the two marks. The distance equals five if the corner is square. Have you guessed how it works?
If you imagined the three- and four-foot measurements as legs of a triangle, you might have guessed that the builder is using the Pythagorean theorem. The third measurement should be five: \begin{align*}3^2+4^2=5^2\end{align*}. If the third measurement is greater than five feet, the angle has a measurement of more than 90 degrees. If the measurement is less than five feet, the angle measurement is less than 90 degrees. Only a 90-degree angle produces a perfect corner. Builders try to get as close to perfect as possible!

Yesterday was an awesome night and even though Lyle had to wait for nearly two hours, it was well worth it as The Killers performed here at the Sepang F1 Helipad. Yes The Killers, the same quad band who brought to you songs such as Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me and many more.
Many thanks to Tune Talk for providing the media pass to Lyle, as he arrive at the location around 6pm++ for a concert that mention that the gates will open at 8pm. As many of you should know, Lyle likes to arrive early and besides, being late one can not see the enthusiastic fans waiting; which equals to no nice crowd photos.
While waiting for the gate to open, (yes we media people had to wait too), Lyle spoke to some of the other media folks who was there. Apparently, the amount of passes that they gave out was very little and for some who represented the partners who organize tonight's event; only got a handful. Strange really.
Well there was nothing much to do about the internal struggle and when the gate open, we went in. Although arriving early, Lyle did not go in front of the stage area. Main reason was that the area was already pack and with him just repairing his camera; risking it would be a very bad idea. Besides, he likes to move and shoot the crowd.
Shouldn't media people be able to go right in front of the stage ? Nope! Only the official photographers were allowed to and that for Lyle was fine too. Slowly but surely the crowd began to build and the opening act for The Killers was Kyoto Protocol, a local band with a large following.
After their performance and like any concert here in Malaysia, an intermission as the roadies prepare the equipments for The Killers to perform. During this time, Lyle bump into Jeremy Teo, Arnold Loh and a few other people. Like all thing, we talk and chatted. The term sing-song talk cock came to fruition here.
Hitz.fm was the official radio station for tonight's concert but the intermission music was something else. As we of Dustyhawk :: Broken Mirror would like to say, "The Killers intermission music is brought to you by Light & Easy". According to his body clock, the intermission was about an hour before The Killers came on stage.
Mr. Brightside was the first song that they played and even at the first strum, Lyle knew he was going to have a grand time. During the break between songs, Brandon Flowers, spoke a bit of malay that Lyle thinks that Fuad of Kyoto Protocol taught. The best was when Brandon said this immortal sentence.. "Apa khabar Malaysia? Kami Mat Rempit"
Which translates to, "How are you Malaysia? We are Mat Rempit". Even with songs such as Human, All These Things I've Done, Somebody Told Me was played; THAT sentence took the cake.
This was definitely one of the best concerts which Lyle had attended and again we thank Tune Talk for the opportunity. Did you know that Tune Talk is a prepaid mobile company with one of the lowest rates ever? 10 sens/minute, 5 sens/sms and 5 sens/MB at 88 sens/day.

One way to NOT sell the digital file is to say that you really do not own the files, the company does (which they actually might!) . Personally I TRY to stay away from selling the digitals because it opens up all sorts of cans of worms.
HOWEVER - One way is to sell the digital image for what would be 8x10 price. It's only halloween portraits and how much will you make in the long run. The problem comes from non portrait images of scenics and people asking for those!
Just my personal take on the problem.

The conservative legal scholar gave critical cover to Barack Obama in the 2008 election, but found himself hamstrung by internal opposition within the State Department and resigned his ambassadorship to Malta. Given the record of the Obama bus and who has been thrown under it, it seems prudent, when dealing with this administration, to collect on one's quo before giving up on one's quid. (Witty, if perhaps unfair, comment from Facebook friend J.B.: "It profits a man not to sell his soul for the whole world... but for Malta? For a half-term?")

Dear reader,
Due to work overload, I haven't had the opportunity to update this blog for a while. Regretfully, since my last post, several major developments have taken place that needed proper coverage. These included:
The reintroduction of foreign language schools in Armenia
The education sector being designated as the most corrupt sector in Armenia by Transparency International
The McKinsey report praising Armenian education reforms (sic)
The ongoing deliberations on a new Law on Science in Armenia
The closure of several private HEIs in Armenia by the government
The ongoing debate in Turkey on the authorization of Kurdish in schools
The ban of headscarf in schools in Azerbaijan
Meanwhile, I have continued to follow-up these developments and have created a Facebook page called "Education in Armenia & its Region" where I post a selection of important and interesting news and articles concerning the education and science sectors in Armenia , Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Russia and Turkey, as well as the European Higher Education Area.
I update the page on daily basis and most of the material is in English.
If you have a Facebook account, you can join me on this new page. You do not need to add me as "friend," you just have to "like" the page and will automatically receive all the posts as long as you wish. You can also post comments or share articles, news and links.

Sitka hosted the Region V Cross-Country Championship meet last weekend and the Vikings girls team took first over all other small schools in the 1A/2A/3A divisions, with Mt. Edgecumbe as runner up.
Ten years have passed since Petersburg cross country last brought home a Regional Championship.
This big win follows an impressive, undefeated season for the girls squad.
The Vikings all went into the meet determined to run their best race, according to Petersburg Head Coach Jo Ann Day.
"They deserve this win. Every runner had a great race," said Day.
Grace Weller led the girls with a finishing time of 20.40 and a second place finish over all.
"Robyn Schwartz ran her best race by almost a minute," said Day. Schwartz finished in 5th place.
Diane Murph was the next fastest runner for the girls, beating her previous personal record by ten seconds for an 8th place 21.31 finish.
Fran Abbot bested her PR by 30 seconds.
"Nicole Peterson had an incredible race beating her time by almost 2 minutes," said Day.
"It is a great combination of hard working, goal oriented athletes. We started the season with some very determined runners, they worked hard in practice, and supported each other," said Coach Day.
As a team they qualify for the state meet in Anchorage and will be competing there on Saturday.
The boys team ended their season with a very competitive performance too, finishing 5th in the region.
The top finisher for the Vikings was Tucker Hagerman whose time of 18.17 earned him tenth place in the region and qualified him to compete at state. He along with Cole Somerville and Nathaniel Lenhard ran their all time fastest races at the championship.
"Great team, great season, Mr. Thompson and I are really looking forward to taking eight runners to state in Anchorage," said Coach Day.
Complete results are:
1st place 39, Mt. Edgecombe 2nd place 63, Craig 3rd place 69
Grace Weller 2nd place 20.40
Robyn Schwartz 5th place 21.19
Diane Murph 8th place 21.31
Fran Abbott 15th place 22.29

Over 300 employees are continuing to work at the Tamms Correctional Center in Southern Illinois, two months after the Governor proposed closing it. Alexander County Judge Charles Cavaness has ruled Pat Quinn can't close Tamms until the union can meet with the Governor through an arbitrator to discuss how it can be phased out safely. The arbiter ruled Monday the state acted reasonably when it began taking steps to close Tamms. But he also agrees with the union that it would be better to keep the prison open. Union President Eddie Caumiant tells KZIM KSIM they disagree with the arbitrator's ruling and will continue to fight to protect the health and safety of their corrections employees. Quinn Monday asked a judge in Cook County to lift an order that's allowed the prison to stay open since August 31st. The union countered by asking Cavaness to keep that injunction in place. Quinn proposed closing Tamms last summer and transferring the 220 inmates to other prisons in Chester and Pontiac. The union says the case could go to the Illinois Supreme Court.

MRC Doctoral Training Grant Studentships in MEG
Reference Number: R1047
Key Studentship Information
The MRC (60%) and EPSRC (40%) recently awarded the UK MEG community a partnership grant of £1.3M to build clinical research capacity in Magnetoencephalography (MEG). The partnership, led by Cardiff University, includes all 8 universities with current MEG laboratories: Aston, Cambridge (MRC-CBSU), Cardiff, Glasgow, Nottingham, Oxford, University College London (UCL) and York.
The partnership aims to drive forward the field of MEG, both by increasing scientific networking amongst the partners, as well as collaborative research in methodology and clinical applications. As part of this, an MRC Doctoral Training Grant (DTG) was awarded that funds a cohort of eight PhD students to work on collaborative research programmes between two or more of the partner sites. It is anticipated that the first four students will be appointed in 2013 and the second four in 2014, but this could change depending on the quality of the students who apply in the initial round.
We are seeking excellent candidates for a range of PhD projects all of which are related to clinical applications of MEG and, potentially, its multimodal combination with other technologies.
The proposed projects can be methods or applications focused and hence applicants will be considered from any relevant scientific discipline, including those from Psychology, Biosciences, Neuroscience, Physics, Engineering or similar.
All students will initially be recruited to Cardiff, but due to the nature of the partnership, the project offered to a student will be collaborative between any two or more of the partner universities. The final location of the student will hence depend on the balance of work and the location of the supervisors and is a topic that can be discussed at interview. There are significant funds earmarked for each student to facilitate travel and accommodation between sites.
One major advantage of this programme is that the Partners will provide integrated training of the cohort throughout the studentships. This is because the Partnership grant provides significant funds for research training and interaction, including bringing in international speakers and a yearly MEG-UK conference.
The precise details of the projects are not yet finalised for all 8 places, but priority will be given to projects that match the key aims of the partnership, namely:
- Developing new multimodal analysis and acquisition methods for using MEG in clinical applications, and deploying these methods to multiple sites
- Larger normative data collection projects across the age-ranges that combine MEG data across sites using novel analysis and bioinformatics approaches to store and query this data
- Projects targeting specific clinical application areas, particularly psychiatric conditions such as Schizophrenia and neurological diseases such as Epilepsy that are well suited to study by MEG.
In addition to MEG, potential methodologies include MRS, fMRI, DTI, TMS, behavioural studies of healthy and clinical cohorts, computational modelling and genetics.
Research Projects: The following are a non-exhaustive sample of those on offer - other projects may be offered depending on the interests of the candidate, as long as the proposed scientific programme fits the aims of the Partnership.
- MEG oscillatory dynamics and cortical excitation/inhibition in health and disease, as assessed with 3T and 7T GABA/Glutamate/Glutamine MRS: Cardiff (Singh) and Nottingham (Brookes).
- MEG of resting state networks and epilepsy: Cardiff (Hamandi and Singh), Aston (Furlong) and Nottingham (Brookes).
- The dynamics of network connectivity in health and epilepsy: York (Green, Whittington) and Cardiff (Singh, Hamandi).
- MEG Biomarkers of Schizophrenia: Glasgow (Gross and Uhlhaas), Cardiff (Singh, Walters and Linden), Nottingham (Brookes et al.), Cambridge (Shtyrov).
- Assessing changes in connectivity and induced/evoked responses, in aging, dementia and neurological conditions, during both rest and simple cognitive tasks. Methodological development and validating use in distinguishing healthy from unhealthy ageing, e.g. biomarking early stages of dementia: Cambridge (Henson, Shtyrov), UCL (Litvak), Oxford (Nobre, Woolrich, Murphy) and Cardiff (Graham, Singh).
- Patient classification (e.g. MCI vs AD) using machine-learning methods applied to MEG induced/evoked activation and dynamic connectivity metrics: Cambridge (Henson) and Oxford (Woolrich and Stokes).
- Typical and atypical (autism) information throughput in temporo-parietal areas during joint actions and co-representation: Aston (Kessler, Rippon, Furlong) and York (Tipper, Green)
- Abnormal functional and effective oscillatory connectivity in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): Aston (Kessler), Glasgow (Gross), and UCL (Barnes, Litvak).
- Age-related changes in working memory functioning: GABA, Theta, gamma, and theta-gamma coupling: Aston (Kessler), Cardiff (Linden, Singh) and Glasgow (Gross).
- MEG measurements of dynamic changes in functional connectivity: assessing non-stationarity in resting-state and task-induced data: Nottingham (Brookes), Oxford (Woolrich) and UCL (Barnes).
- Development of new MEG analysis methods for non-invasive millisecond imaging of activity within different cortical layers: UCL (Barnes, Litvak), Nottingham (Brookes) and Oxford (Woolrich).
- Model-based MEG analysis: Relating MEG measures to computational models of behaviour validated using physiologically realistic neural simulations and analysis of real data: UCL (Litvak, Barnes, Friston) and Oxford (Woolrich).
- MEG studies of the effect of rhythmic sensory stimulation/entrainment on brain oscillations: Glasgow (Gross) and Oxford (Nobre).
Supervisors: Students will have at least two co-supervisors, one at each partner site. The potential supervisor pool is large across all eight groups, encompassing all researchers using MEG, but mainly will come from the principal investigators at each site. These are:
- Cambridge (MRC-CBSU): Prof. Rik Henson and Prof. Yury Shtyrov
- Cardiff: Prof. Krish Singh and Dr Khalid Hamandi
- Glasgow: Prof. Joachim Gross and Dr Klaus Kessler
- Nottingham: Dr Matt Brookes and Prof. Peter Morris
- Oxford: Prof. Kia Nobre and Dr Mark Woolrich
- UCL: Dr Gareth Barnes and Dr Vladimir Litvak
- York: Prof. Gary Green
Start Date: 1st October 2013
About the School: The School of Psychology is one of the largest and most successful in the UK (http://www.cf.ac.uk/psych/), as recognised in every Research Assessment Exercise. We have with state-of-the art testing facilities, including CUBRIC, a fully equipped neuroimaging centre (http://psych.cf.ac.uk/cubric/), which will form the initial host site for these studentships. We have a thriving postgraduate research community, regular seminars and training sessions, and close collaborations with Psychological Medicine and Biosciences through the Neuroscience and Mental Health Research Institute.
The studentship will commence in October 2013 or October 2014 and will cover your tuition fees as well as a maintenance grant. In 2013-14 the maintenance grant for full-time students is £13,726.
To check if you are eligible for the full studentship please see the MRC website and guidelines.
Number of Awards: 8
It is anticipated that the first four students will be appointed in 2013 and the second four in 2014 but this could change depending on the quality of the students who apply in the first round.
Academic Criteria: To be successful, you should possess or expect to obtain, a first-class or upper second honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject area. A postgraduate Masters degree (or equivalent) would strengthen your application, but is not a requirement. Excellent literacy, numeracy and IT skills are required, in addition to good English language skills. Applicants from the UK or EU are eligible for a full award of stipend and tuition fees.
Residency: Full awards (fees plus maintenance stipend) are open to UK Nationals and EU students who can satisfy UK residency requirements. To be eligible for the full award, EU Nationals must have been in the
How to Apply
The application procedure is the same as applying for any PhD in Psychology (October 2013 start date) at Cardiff University and can be made using Cardiff's online application portal (www.cardiff.ac.uk/apply). Please indicate on your application that you would like to apply for one of these studentships.
For the 'Research Proposal' section of the form, please just give some general areas of research that you would be keen on working in - not a specific proposal. You can use the example projects we identified as a guide to what the supervisory teams are interested in, but that does not preclude you putting forward something else that you are really interested in. It would also be good to demonstrate some interest/knowledge of MEG and why you think it would be useful in the research areas you identify.
Also, if appropriate, please give some idea as to any geographical preferences you might have in terms of where you do your PhD under this scheme. If you don't have a preference, that's fine.
