Inferential Statistics
Inferential statistics help us determine whether the difference we find between our experimental and control groups is caused by the manipulation of the independent variable or by chance variation in the performances of the groups. If the difference has a low probability of being caused by chance variation, we can feel confident in the inferences we make from our samples to the populations they represent.
Hypothesis Testing
In experiments, psychologists use inferential statistics to test the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis states that the independent variable has no effect on the dependent variable. Consider an experimental study of the effect of overlearning on memory in college students. When we use overlearning, we study material until we know it perfectly, and then continue to study it some more. At the beginning of the experiment, the participants would be selected from the same population (college students) and randomly assigned to either the experimental group (overlearning) or the control group (normal studying). Thus, the independent variable would be the method of studying (overlearning versus normal studying). The dependent variable might be the score on a 100-point exam on the material studied.
Learning Check #21: Identify the independent variable, dependent variable, and the null hypothesis from the following scenario:
A researcher would like to know if highlighting a textbook helps students to score better on the exams. She randomly selects one-half of the students in an introductory class and instructs them to highlight their textbooks as they read. The other students are instructed to do NO highlighting as they read.
If the experimental manipulation has no effect, the experimental and control groups would not differ significantly in their performance on the exam. In that case, we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. If the experimental manipulation has an effect, the two groups would differ significantly in their performance on the exam. In that case, we would reject the null hypothesis. This would indirectly support the research hypothesis, which would predict that overlearning improves exam performance. But how large must a difference be between groups for it to be significant? To determine whether the difference between groups is large enough to minimize chance variation as an alternative explanation of the results, we must determine the statistical significance of the difference between them.
Statistical Significance
The characteristics of samples drawn from the population they represent will almost always vary somewhat from those of the true population. This is known as sampling error. Thus, a sample of five students taken from your psychology class (the population) would vary somewhat from the class means in age, height, weight, intelligence, grade point average, and other characteristics.
If we repeatedly took random samples of five students, we would continue to find that they differ from the population. But what of the difference between the means of two samples, presumably representing different populations, such as a population of students who practice overlearning and a population of students who practice normal study habits? How large would the differences have to be before we attributed them to the independent variable rather than to chance? In this example, how much difference in the performance of the experimental group and the control group would be needed before we could confidently attribute the difference to the practice of overlearning?
The larger the difference between the means of two samples, the less likely it would be attributable to chance. Psychologists typically accept a difference between sample means as statistically significant if it has a probability of less than 5 percent of occurring by chance. This is known as the .05 level of statistical significance. In regard to the example, if the difference between the experimental group and the control group has less than a 5 percent probability of occurring by chance, we would reject the null hypothesis. Our research hypothesis would be supported: overlearning is effective. Scientists who wish to use a stricter standard employ the .01 level of statistical significance. This means that a difference would be statistically significant if it had a probability of less than 1 percent of being obtained by chance alone.
The difference between the means of two groups will more likely be statistically significant under the following conditions:
1. When the variability within the groups is small.
Note that statistical significance is a statement of probability. We can never be certain that what is true of our samples is true of the population they represent. This is one of the reasons why all scientific findings are tentative. Moreover, statistical significance does not indicate practical significance. A statistically significant effect may be too small or be produced at too great a cost of time or money to be useful. What if those who practice overlearning must study two extra hours each day to improve their exam performance by a statistically significant, yet relatively small, 3 points? Knowing this, students might choose to spend their time in another way. As the American statesman Henry Clay (1777-1852) noted, in determining the importance of research findings, by themselves statistics are no substitute for judgment.
Learning Check #22: Suppose that the researcher in Learning Check #21 rejected the null hypothesis and concluded that there was a significant difference due to highlighting. What would this mean in terms of probability?
Learning Check #23: Can research demonstrate statistical significance, yet have no real practical value?
Learning Check #24: Could two groups have a difference that looked important, yet not be statistically different from one another? That is, could the difference between two groups appear to have practical value, yet not achieve statistical significance?
The independent variable is highlighting/no highlighting. The dependent variable is the exam score. The null hypothesis would be that there is no difference in exam scores between students who highlight in the text and those who do not highlight in the text.
A significant difference indicates that the difference in the means between the two groups (in this case exam scores for the highlighting and not highlighting groups) is probably NOT due to random chance alone. Something is causing a difference between these two groups, probably the highlighting, given that the groups are close to identical in all other respects.
Yes, suppose that the research in Learning Check #22 found that the exam scores differed by 1 point and that a 1 point difference was statistically significant. In this case, the difference is probably not impressive enough to encourage people to spend a great deal of time highlighting.
This is a very important topic for psychology. Many things look at first glance to be different than they really are. Two students may find that one scored very high on an exam by simply looking at the chapter summaries, whereas another student scored low and read every chapter. Although there is a big difference in exam scores that looks important, research would need to be conducted to determine exactly how that difference came about. Just because something looks valuable does not mean that it is valuable.

SPORTS >> Reinforced Bears are facing the Falcons
Leader sports writer
Weather could be a factor again this week when Sylvan Hills visits local 5A-Southeast Conference rival North Pulaski on Friday.
That could be good or bad news for the Bears, who will return senior speed receiver Ahmad Scott to the offensive lineup after he was sidelined the past two weeks with a concussion he suffered against Mills.
Sylvan Hills (1-5, 1-2) won its first game last week against Crossett in wet conditions, but coach Jim Withrow said drier weather could help his teams cause with a revamped passing game featuring Scott.
A lot of it will depend on how well their field holds up, Withrow said. We have a junior-high game there on Thursday night, so who knows how bad that thing will be torn up.
We havent even been able to practice outside much for the last two weeks with all the rain. Its just hard to pass in those kinds of conditions.
Sloppy field conditions led to limited passing last week against Crossett, but senior running back Marquis Smith stepped up and posted his best numbers of the season with 29 carries for 141 yards.
He hit the hole better than he has all year, Withrow said. Hes a big, strong guy, and when hes running well, it really helps our ground game. We just need to hold on to the ball and cut out some of those penalties.
The Falcons have a solid ground game of their own with big junior running backs Darius Cage (6-1, 210 pounds) and Billy Barron (5-10, 245). Sophomore quarterback Shyheim Barron also has scrambling abilities as a dual threat in the backfield.
Their power game is kind of scary to us, Withrow said. And it looks like their quarterback can run as well. They do a good job of mixing it up.
Seniors Juliean Broner and Devonte Britt are back from injuries in limited roles on defense. Broners injured knee still has some swelling, which prompted the training staff to release him for defensive play only.
Were still living week to week, Withrow said. Were still trying different things to try and move the ball since we cant use those guys on the offensive side. Broner gets better each and every day, we just cant use him on offense because he cant take any hits to that knee.
There will be a number of interesting match-ups in Fridays game, but none more so than Bears receiver Scott versus North Pulaski senior all-conference cornerback Arlando Hicks.
The two possess comparable speed and experience, and Hicks tight coverage could be another obstacle for Sylvan Hills.
That ought to be a good matchup, Withrow said. Hicks is a good D-back; he covers well, and that also worries us. But its great to get Ahmad back. Its good for our other receiver, Taylor Clark it will help to open things up for him.
The past couple of weeks, its just been him and Marquis coming out of the backfield, so its been kind of obvious who it was going to.
The Falcons are 1-5, 1-2 in the 5A-Southeast entering this weeks game with Sylvan Hills.
With both teams tied for fifth in the 5A-Southeast at 1-2, the winner of this game still has an outside shot of reaching the playoffs. The loser will most likely be done at the conclusion of Week 10.
Withrow said that victories are important for Sylvan Hills playoff cause, but margins are equally as important.
I think it all depends on how much you win by, Withrow said. I figure we probably need to win three of our last four to get in.
It just depends on who beats who. That Crossett-Mills game will be a factor in it. Its just too early to know for sure. We wont until we get two or three more games into it.
North Pulaski sophomore Robby Darrington has been named Hootens Arkansas Football Air Guard scholar of the week.
Darrington, a 6-2, 210-pound offensive lineman on the varsity and junior varsity squads, has a grade-point average of 3.8 in strictly advanced placement courses.
A candidate for the weekly honor must have a GPA better than 3.2 and be a solid citizen, in addition to being a valuable member of a football team, Hootens editor Chris Hooten said.
Hooten added that most recipients have had 3.5 GPAs or better.
There have been some pretty impressive cats, Hooten said.
Darrington is one of only 26 players selected each season and is eligible to be one of the three finalists for the Hootens Air Guard Scholar Athlete of the Year award given out after the season.
He receives a certificate of achievement and other prizes.
Darrington will also be featured on Hootens Arkansas Football TV show which airs at 11 a.m. Saturday on KTHV-TV Channell 11.

Desperate Housewives Rundown Episode Seven: "What More Do I Need?"
Desperate Housewives Rundown Episode Seven: "What More Do I Need?"
"Desire. It's an emotion designed to lead us astray." This week's episode of Desperate Housewives deals with an element that can be found in pretty much every single soapy episode: Desire. I really enjoyed this one — there was so much drama! My favorite storyline is Bree's but the twist with Lynette's son Porter is definitely the most shocking.
Did you watch last night? Ready to chat about it? Just
Susan — I really love these episodes when Susan's storyline is more or less normal-ish, when she's neither doing insanely stupid things nor is there "high drama" in her life. Susan and Jackson "start anew" with their relationship, going on a second first date, then a second second date, and so on. Susan insists that they "get to know each other" for the first three dates before having sex on the fourth. Jackson resists at first and attempts to seduce Susan (though, seriously, has anyone used that saxophoney jazz lite "sex music," as Susan puts it, since 1987 or so?), to no avail. He then discovers that his sexual frustration somehow unblocks whatever it was that was preventing him from painting artistically, and then, of course, he doesn't want to have sex. In the end, Susan sees a painting of herself and she is convinced that Jackson really does "know" her. Then she poses nude for him so he can accurately paint her hands.
Bree — Oooh, this storyline is so juicy! Bree and Orson's employee is caught stealing money from them and is fired. Soon after, Bree reads a review of her cookbook in a Christian magazine that gives her book "four halos!" and giddily she and Orson end up getting it on in the kitchen. The next day, Andrew tells them that their former employee stole the footage from the surveillance camera so they wouldn't have any evidence of him stealing the money. Problem is, that footage also includes a couple getting it on in the kitchen! But when Andrew retrieves the video and they all watch it, they learn that the couple on the tape isn't Bree and Orson — it's Katherine and Mike. Bree brings the video to Katherine and chastises her for dating Susan's ex-husband because "we're women! We don't do that to each other." But Katherine's radiantly happy face says it all — she's not giving Mike up just yet.
Gaby — Lonely old Virginia Hildebrand (Frances Conroy) continues to pursue the Solis family in this episode, having them over for an entire weekend and crawling in bed with them to watch Surf's Up ("My heavens, is that penguin surfing?!"). This scene cracked me up. Her giddy laughter is just so childlike and funny. Everything turns not-so-funny, however, when she tells Gaby she's making up a room in her home just for the girls and that she'll send a car for them anytime they want to spend time with "Grandma," as Virginia insists they call her. Finally, when Virginia shows up uninvited to Celia's birthday party so Celia can go with her to pick out an antique doll (which, I'm guessing, would have been a very creepy scene; old dolls frighten me!), Gaby yells at her to stop obsessing over her family. Hurt, Virginia calls the country club where Carlos works and claims that Carlos touched her inappropriately during a massage. My heart just breaks for Carlos these days.
Lynette — OMG, you guys, Porter's a baby daddy! OK, I just had to get that out because it's crazy! I thought Lynette's storyline was going to be sort of funny at first, when she finds out about Porter's affair with Kirby's mom. But then she slams Anne against a wall and slaps her! Not funny anymore. She demands that Porter call things off, but he doesn't want to, and he doesn't want Anne's abusive husband to find out about the affair. Then the big surprise: Anne's pregnant. In the end, we see Porter making arrangements with Anne to leave, and Porter gently thanks his mom for everything she and Tom have done for him. Isn't Porter a twin? Where is that other kid? I would be very curious to get his perspective on all this.
Edie, Dave, Mrs McCluskey — Hooray for more Lily Tomlin! As Mrs. McCluskey's sister Roberta, she does some detective work with Dave's phone records and finds out that every month he calls a psychiatrist — a psychiatrist to the criminally insane. In the end, we see the psychiatrist getting a flight to Fairview, presumably to track down Dave (or whatever his real name is).

Three people were injured in an explosion at the headquarters of the state-run airlines in Katmandu yesterday, police said.
The explosion shattered the windows of the Royal Nepal Airlines building, situated in the heart of the Nepalese capital. The injured were taken to a city hospital.
Police officials speaking on customary condition of anonymity blamed Maoist rebels for the blast.
The rebels have been fighting since 1996 to establish a communist state in the Himalayan kingdom.
Police also found another explosive device planted in the building that houses the Nepal Telecommunication Corporation, a state-run telephone company. The bomb was defused by the army's bomb squad.
The rebels have called a three-day general strike beginning Monday.
More than 7,000 people have died during the six-year Maoist insurgency, most of them since King Gyanendra imposed a state of emergency in November last year and ordered the army to join police in fighting the rebels. The state of emergency was lifted in August.

I am sorry but I neglected to make one more suggestion. You should prepare yourself for your defense by contacting any one of several tenants organizations in Chicago. You may be able to find some helpful information on line from either www.renters-rights.com or www.tenants.org.See question

Your question is whether you can successfully represent yourself in a jury trial on your eviction and breach of lease case. Although it is possible that you could successfully represent yourself in a jury trial, the courts in Chicago will strictly bind you to the rules of procedure that apply to conducting jury trials. Unfortunately, there are many such rules and some you may find complicated. Therefore the odds of you properly educating yourself on conducting a jury trial and succeeding in the case would be pretty low. Of course, people in your position have succeeded, but the overall number is quite small. Moreover, you would have to consider the possibility that a jury might not sympathize with you and that a jury might rule against you regardless of the strengths of your case -- that in fact happens every day in every court.
One suggestion to consider is that you waive (or give up) your right to a jury trial and bring your defense before the judge alone, in what is called a bench trial. If you have any facts that operate in your favor, you may find the judge sympathetic (many of them in housing court are) and even if you lose, you may be given additional time to leave the premises and pay any outstanding amount due. Or you may even win your case.See question
How do you interpret the following passage from the ICC: "The Commission approved a maximum charge for relocation towing of $520 per tow, per unit for medium duty vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds but less than 40,000 pounds; $700 per to...
I think you are wondering whether the ICC provision means what is says, in common sense language; it does. However, your problem is establishing whether your truck was under 40,000 pounds. Can an 18 wheeler come under that weight? I would suggest that you present any written proof of weight to the tow company, insist on a refund, and warn them that you will complain to the ICC about their charges in violation of the rule. If the tow company does not give you satisfaction, then present your written evidence to the ICC. Good luck.See question
I don't recall anything done wrong on my behalf.
Civil lawsuits are filed in either state or federal court. State courts are usually allocated by county (and in New York City, by boroughs). For federal cases, go visit the Clerk of the United States District Court in Houston and ask for assistance. Tell them that you wish to search the current docket for any and all lawsuits filed against you. You would be the defendant. The clerk's office should have public computer terminals to have you examine the docket for your name.
For state court cases, go find the office of the clerk of the court in your county. Here too ask for assistance and say that you want to search the court docket for suits filed against you, giving your name. Again, you would be the defendant. To the extent your jurisdiction has electronic record-keeping, this information should be easily accessible via on site computer terminals. If your jurisdiction is old-fashioned and paper only, there may not be an easy method to search lawsuits by name of the defendant.
You may want to do this in the districts or counties in which you both work and reside. Beyond that, there is no easy way to determine if a lawsuit has been filed against you in another jurisdiction. However, any lawsuit against you should be filed in the county or district in which you either work or reside (which is the case in Illinois).
Warning: if you have been sued in any court and you have not appeared in that court, there is a possibility that a judgment has been entered against you. Depending on the judgment creditor's position as to whether you have been evading court obligations or not, and a court finding to that extent, you may be subject to a warrant for your arrest for failure to appear in court. Being present in the courthouse would make you more likely to be subject to execution of that warrant. If you believe there is any risk of this, you may want to seek an attorney's assistance. An attorney can perform all of the preliminary investigation into this matter (i.e., determine whether you have been sued in local jurisdictions, etc.) without exposing you to a risk of arrest for non-compliance with a civil court order.See question

Although I am not a New York lawyer (assuming this is a New York case), I believe that it is likely that the law of my state (Illinois) can provide you with a general idea of how this matter is treated.
In Illinois, technical defects in complaints and summonses may be corrected by formal amendment in the pending lawsuit. The party that caused the defect or error may move to amend the complaint or summons. Further, an incorrect statement of the amount of damages sought can also be amended. In Illinois, the amount stated in the complaint may determine in which branch of the court the complaint is heard. If the corrected amount requires a transfer of the case to a different court, the original court may order such a transfer.
An error in the amount sought set forth on the complaint and summons should not invalidate either the complaint or the summons. Likewise, this error should not result in a determination that summons was not properly served, if the summons was otherwise properly served. Bottom line, the served party ignores the summons at his or her peril.See question

At a time when independent media is under attack, our support of good journalism and timely reporting is critical. Truth-Out.org exemplifies the importance of independent media unconstrained by support from government or corporate interests. An unbiased perspective is crucial for public awareness of the factors that shape decisions regarding pipelines, refugee and immigration policies, electoral politics, militarism and policing, education, employment, and so many other contemporary issues that affect us all directly. Truth-Out asks critical questions and refuses to settle for superficial or incomplete answers. Their editing is exemplary, their coverage is broad sweeping, hard-hitting and empowering. They are a needed prescription for an uneducated citizenry that suffers from a malaise of corporate-controlled, government backed, ulterior-motive-driven mass media faux news.
What would we do without Truthout. They nurture real journalism and true journalists. Reading Truthout everyday i find the conversation i need to be more informed and smarter. Thoughtful and consider arguments and explorations into peace, climate change, racism: the issues we are grappling with daily by those in contact with the front lines.
I read TruthOut almost daily and rely on its independent journalism to serve as an antidote to the stranglehold that corporate, profit-driven media outlets have by their omission of crucial stories and their promotion of the inane and banal. TruthOut has the highest editorial standards for accuracy of information, for veracity of sources, for relevance of issues, and most importantly, for their integrity and courage to take on the toughest, lacerating issues.
Additionally, as an instructor of Journalism, I hold up (on a regular basis) their articles to my students and value them as models of strong, high-integrity journalism.
Finally, I was fortunate enough to have an Op-Ed published in June in TruthOut (on Climate Disruption and the media) and I gained enormous respect for their editors as they worked with me; I have great affection for them and the work that they do every day. They bring a beacon of hope in our turbulent age.
I count on Truthout to support and publish the kind of great stories about climate change that are so missing from most of the rest of our mainstream media. Who else will support this work? Even NPR seems to have lost its edge over the last several years.
Craig Mc
Truthout does excellent and vital work for global political and ecological discourses. Particularly the work of Dahr Jamail and William Rivers Pitt stands out in my opinion. Not only are they great journalist asking hard, important questions and delving into hypocrisies of power and the paradox of global capitalism, they are great writers.
Truthout seems to be a leftist organization masquerading as an "unbiased" alternative news source. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Virtually everything I've read on their web site indicates that it is part of the Socialist Progressive (Marxists) philosophy movement.
Truthout is an organization which tells a side of the story not often represented in mainstream news. It keeps me informed by having intelligent, incisive articles and real investigative journalism to expose facts and stories which help expose wrongdoing and promote solutions; in short, this news source helps to make democracy and human rights flourish.
I am very grateful for its existence.
However much we may think we enjoy or believe in the Brian Williams-type news, it's just not the real deal. It's all made for TV with all the requisite sound bites/visuals, requires little brain use and can't possibly be thorough due to the MASSIVE amount of advertising (read: MONEY) required. I've been quite impressed with TruthOut and have passed it on and on. Much of what TruthOut provides us will not be seen nor heard on the Nightly News, unfortunate as it is. Perhaps soon...
TRUTHOUT is great. It proves all the news you should now but the main stream media is not reporting. Their articles are must reads. Their contributing writers have become household names. Because of TRUTHOUT, I seek them out on other blog sites, look forward to seeing them being interviewed by the likes of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and look for their books to read. The truth will set you free (and get you thinking) thanks to TRUTHOUT.
I follow Truthout posts on Facebook and find myself reposting ALL the time. Their analysis is incredible.

CARSON CITY — The number of Nevadans filing first claims for unemployment benefits in April fell 15 percent from the same period of a year ago.
But the number of people seeking benefits was up from March, 14,931 compared to 13,267.
The state Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation reported today initial claims have fallen for 16 straight months compared to the same period the previous year.
Department Economist Bill Anderson said Nevada's labor market is "firmly on the mend."
Initial claims are most closely related to the number of people who have recently lost their jobs, officials said.
Prior to the recession, the average monthly level of initial claims was 12,500.

MelonFresh.tv Demo // Summer 2008
This is the Summer 2008 demo reel. A majority of the work included was done during my time at Vancouver Film School while studying in the Digital Design program. Also included are some of the work I had done while working as a freelance designer in Portland. Hope you enjoy!
Download QT version here.
Tsunami Infographic
This is a motion graphics piece that was created over a period of 8 weeks in collaboration with Erica Edwards and Shalinder Matharu. The roles I played in this project was animator, 2D asset designer, and concept developer.
Title Sequence
Music video for "Leave Me Alone" by Apparat. Completed from finding the song to final render over 36 hours. Visuals on the left were entirely created by Shalinder Matharu while I provided the right side of the music video.
Forge Gaming Commercial
A commercial created for the fictional Forge Gaming console created by Shalinder Matharu. The concept for the commercial was to be a teaser that would start to build interest and to instill the ideas of "freedom" and "revolution" with the Forge brand. For information on the branding side of Forge visit Shal's site.
Title Sequence
This is a title sequence for a fictional documentary on the men who worked on the United States' nuclear defense program. The audio is part of a reading from a W.B. Yeats poem. The title of the documentary is inspired by a quote from Edward R. Murrow.
Video short featuring Khafra Rudder. This was an assignment to use the green screen at school. The backdrop was created using a mix of grafiti and my own photography. I tried to expirement with audio keyframes to control effects.
"Untitled Snow Project" Demo
This video is one of a few snowboard demo reels that I have edited the past few years. This one features Adam Fleck.
"Meet the Deadline"
This project was my introduction into Flash coding. Deepak Nailwal and Timothy Clayton as a team decided for this project to try to tackle an issue close to us and that we were dealing with at the time; trying to balance the workload while at school and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
LEET Beer Brand Guide
I worked on this project with Yaniv Fridman, Ting Chung and Hyelim Kim. We were given the task of branding a new local beer for college students. I am happy that we were able to create a creative concept that we felt worked and was fun not only for the user but for us to work on.
"Milky Toy Packaging"
This is a package design for vinyl toys. I wanted to create a reusable package that you could possibly reseal and hang onto after you have taken out the toy and placed it on your desk or shelf. I decided to modify the playful milk carton shape to be closed by adding a tab to the template.
A self promotional poster that was created during the late concepting stages of my portfolio website.

Portland Community College Multimedia Club
Portland Community College asked its faculty and students to design a logo for their newly formed Multimedia Club. This design was to be used for application on the club site, shirts and cards. The concept was to create something abstract due to the wide range of studies included in the Multimedia department. I tried to mix the sense of motion, creation, ink, and taking flight with the abstract birds coming out of the ink.
Coming Soon.

The security Lab at SICS was established in 2009. Since then it has grown from 1 to 8 people. The research is directed toward secure systems design in close co-operation with above leading Swedish companies in the IT and telecommunications businesses as well as Swedish universities such as Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The group has developed an own hypervisor providing secure execution in ARM based embedded systems that currently undergo formal verification. Furthermore, the group is performing lots of research on usage of Trusted Computing technologies to secure future cloud infrastructures. The secure systems group at SICS consists for the moment of 4 senior researchers (PhD), 2 PhD students and addition 2 junior researchers with MSc degrees in computer science.
modern CMOS technologies has led to the creation of a novel
class of security attacks on cryptographic systems. The latter
exploits the correlation between leakage current and the input
patterns to infer the secret key; it is called leakage power analysis
(LPA). The use power-balanced (m-of-n) logic is a promising
solution that provides an answer to this problem, such circuits
are designed to consume constant amount of power regardless of
data being processed. This work evaluates the security of
cryptographic circuits designed with this technology against the
newly developed LPA. Two forms of LPA are investigated, one is
based on differential power analysis (LDPA) and the other based
on Hamming weight analysis (LHPA). Simulations performed at
90nm CMOS technology reveal that (m-of-n) circuits are totally
resilient to LHPA and have a higher security level against LDPA
than standard logic circuits.
infrastructure of TLS, and on various other attacks. We try to give a short \"Lessons Learned\" at the end of each paragraph.
In this paper, we investigate this open problem and propose an efficient verifiable SQL query scheme for outsourced dynamic databases. Different from the previous state-of-the-art schemes, we reduce the complexity of storage overhead from O(mn) to O(n) and move most computation tasks from client side to cloud server side. Compared with the recently proposed scheme that also achieves O(n) storage overhead, we not only cut the communication complexity for verification from O(n) to O(log^n), but also release the client from O(n) exponentiation operations to O(1). In addition, our proposed scheme improves the previous ones by allowing more aggregate queries including variance query, weighted exponentiation sum query of any degrees, etc. Thorough analysis shows the efficiency and scalability of our proposed scheme. The security of our scheme is proved based on Strong Diffie-Hellman Assumption, Bilinear Strong Diffie-Hellman Assumption and Computational Diffie-Hellman Assumption.
robust NI-PE (non-interactive polynomial evaluation with detection of
cheaters). First, we give a necessary condition of adversary structures for which perfectly robust NI-PE with small communication complexity exists. More precisely, we show that for any positive integers $n$, $m$ and $d>1$, an $n$-player access structure $U$, and an $n$-player adversary structure $T$, there exists a $U$-participating NI-PE scheme for $m$-variate polynomials over a finite field $F$ with $T$-private inputs such that (1) perfectly robust (i.e., successful cheating probability $\\epsilon=0$), (2) any polynomial of degree $d$ can be evaluated, and (3) the total size of shares of the output for some participating set is $o(m)\\times \\log |F|$, {\\em only if} $T$ is of type $Q_{d+1}$ for $U$, meaning that no $d+1$ sets in $T$ cover any set in $U$. Second, we give constructions of perfectly robust NI-PE schemes against threshold adversary and general adversary, respectively. All the proposed schemes ensure perfect robustness against $Q_{d+1}$ adversary, and computability of arbitrary polynomial of degree $d$. Third, we show that efficient robust NI-PE schemes against general adversary can be constructed by allowing cheaters very small chance of successful cheating. Namely, we construct two robust NI-PE schemes with $\\epsilon=1/|F|$ and the total size for shares of the output is only three times larger compared to the perfectly robust NI-PE scheme against threshold adversary.

Pyongyang to face new restrictions on trade
Japan Correspondent
Page Tools
The international community yesterday moved towards further controls to prevent North Korea from obtaining materials to produce weapons of mass destruction.
Australia joined seven other Asia-Pacific countries in talks in Tokyo to discuss the establishment of the region's first multilateral agreement to regulate exports.
Host Japan, the US, China and Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand and Singapore also participated in the talks, designed to lay the groundwork for a formal agreement next year.
The agreement is expected to deal with the sharing of information between customs officials to stamp out the illicit trade, with a particular focus on trade through third countries.
While the controls would cover all countries, the initiative is aimed mainly at containing North Korea, which has sparked a regional crisis over its nuclear weapons program.
The export-control initiative is running in parallel with the US-led Proliferation Security Initiative, involving 10 nations, including Australia.
The first major interdiction exercise was held in the Coral Sea last month.
Japan - a long-time source for high-tech parts for missiles for North Korea - has stepped up its efforts against the illicit trade. This year, Tokyo discovered that an electronics firm run by members of Japan's North Korean community was shipping transformers to North Korea that could be used to enrich uranium.
They alerted officials in Hong Kong, who seized the equipment when the freighter stopped.
Recently, Japanese police arrested five executives from a used-car dealership for exporting a huge trailer to North Korea that could be used to move a missile launch pad.
The moves to contain North Korea continue as intense diplomatic efforts to solve the Korean nuclear crisis appear to be bearing fruit.
In a significant turnaround, North Korea said at the weekend that it was considering a US offer of a regional security guarantee if it abandoned its nuclear weapons program.

Valley homebuilder Fulton Homes is making a play for one of the year's top TV events by producing a 30-second commercial specifically for Sunday's Super Bowl XLVI. According to Fulton, the spot uses a tongue-and-cheek approach to promote a home trade-in program by depicting a man who unsuccessfully tried to trade in old shoes at a store. The ad was produced by knoodle, a Valley-based advertising and public relations agency.
Last year's Super Bowl drew an audience of more than 100 million, according to Nielsen research. Fulton estimates the Phoenix market alone will have about 1 million viewers.
"The Super Bowl is an ideal setting for our message," Fulton Homes CEO Douglas Fulton said in a news release. "If hundreds of thousands of people see our 30 second commercial, it is definitely money well spent."

Opera Ron Cerabona
Opera by Candlelight 2014. Presented by Carl Rafferty. The Albert Hall. Friday and Saturday, February 7 and 8, are banquet nights, all seats $60. Sunday, February 9 is theatre-style seating with buffet supper, concert begins at 6pm. All seats $80. Bookings: email@example.com
Now in its sixth year, Opera by Candlelight offers opera-starved Canberrans sustenance for the soul as well as the stomach. Producer and director Carl Rafferty calls it ''a night of opera highlights presented in a unique banquet performance, a celebration of opera, beauty, food and music''.
Audience members can, depending on which performance they attend, bring their own food and drink or enjoy what's on offer as an accompaniment to the musical feast.
As usual, Rafferty has looked both in Australia and abroad to choose his singers, whom he will conduct from the piano while leading an eight-piece band.
''I'm very interested in young singers who have the bloom of youth, who have sparkle and are beautiful,'' Rafferty says. He wants both the voices and their possessors to be appealing.
''I'm really fussy about only having good-looking people in my shows. Call me shallow if you like.''
Among the 18 artists who made the grade and are performing in 2014 are Polish soprano Aleksandra Wiwala, tenors James Adams from New Zealand and Michael Johnson from Sydney and coloratura soprano Kate Rafferty. Baritone and director of the ANU School of Music Peter Tregear will have a ''guest spot'' performing Don Pizarro's aria Ha! welch ein Augenblick! from Beethoven's Fidelio.
They've been rehearsing in Sydney, particularly for the benefit of the Europeans in the cast who have come from the depths of winter in Europe.
''They like the beach.''
To continue the culinary theme, Rafferty says, ''The first half is the main course, the second half is meringue.''
The program begins with excerpts from famous operas and after the interval focuses on operetta, mostly from Vienna, and gypsy music. There will be arias, ensembles and orchestral pieces. This year there wil be music from composers who have not been featured in previous Opera by Candlelight productions, with two excerpts from Massenet's Manon and a couple from Fidelio.
Among the best-known pieces in the first half are Un bel di from Puccini's Madama Butterfly and the Toreador's Song, Flower Song, Seguidilla and Habanera from Bizet's Carmen.
The second half will feature, among other items, You Are My Heart's Delight from The Land of Smiles and The Merry Widow Waltz, both by Lehar. There will also be excerpts from Verdi's Aida, Il Trovatore, Nabucco and Rigoletto, Gounod's Faust and Delibes' Lakme.
Rafferty says the Verdi choruses – the Triumphal March from Aida and Va pensiero from Nabucco – ''will be pretty extraordinary with all these great voices''.

Paid-via-Atlassian pricing FAQ
- How does server add-on pricing work?
Server products and add-ons are hosted on your servers. Licenses are perpetual and the purchase price include 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).
You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your host product and add-on licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).
If add-on pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.
- How do I determine my server pricing?
Add-ons are billed based on the number of users in your host product. The add-on tier should match the licensed user tier of the Atlassian host product. For example, if you have a Confluence Server license for 25 users, you should purchase the 25-user tier for add-ons. Even if fewer users want to use the add-on than your host product license, the two licenses should match exactly.
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses?
For server add-ons, purchase and renewal is half-price if you have an academic license for your Atlassian host product. Server add-ons are always free for community and open-source licenses.
For more details about qualifying for special licenses, see here.
- Can I extend my free trial?
For server add-ons, you can extend your add-on trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the add-on listing in UPM from your Atlassian host product, and you're all set.
- How can I buy add-ons for my legacy JIRA Server or Confluence Server license?
If you own a legacy JIRA Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy add-on pricing is no longer available. You have two options for add-on purchasing:
- Purchase the add-on at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.

IHRA Travels To US 131 Motorsports Park This Weekend For Northern Nationals
Posted by: newsla on Aug 06, 2014 - 03:15 PM
2014 NHRA: IHRA Travels To US 131 Motorsports Park This Weekend For Northern Nationals
Brothers Bobby and Dom Lagana are from New York. They talk like New Yorkers talk and they act like New Yorkers act. But when you ask either one where their home is on the racetrack, both will point to one place - the tiny town of Martin, Michigan.
For nearly two decades, US 131 Motorsports Park in western Michigan has acted as the official home track of the Lagana brothers, serving as the location of some of the team's greatest motorsports accomplishments. Bobby's first four-second pass and first 300 mph run? Both took place at US 131. Dom's professional drag racing debut? That too took place in Martin.
But of all of the accomplishments the team has enjoyed, perhaps their most noteworthy came at US 131 Motorsports Park just last year.
Seeking their quickest and fastest lap ever as a team, the Lagana brothers traveled to IHRA's annual Northern Nationals in 2013 hoping to make team history. Instead, the team skipped right past team history and right into the stratosphere of IHRA history.
After a couple of noteworthy runs on Friday night at last year's Northern Nationals, Dom and his team kicked things into overdrive and left it all on the track in front of a packed house the following evening, making the single fastest lap in IHRA and US 131 Motorsports history in the "Nitro Ninja" Top Fuel Dragster.
With the header flames burning bright right through the finish line, the numbers popped up on the scoreboard - 4.663 seconds at 330.79 miles per hour. Others had been quicker, others had been faster in the sport, but none had been faster in annals of the International Hot Rod Association, the place where the Lagana brothers cut their teeth and learned the world's fastest sport.
Now the Lagana brothers, and four of IHRA's most exciting professional classes, return to Michigan this Friday and Saturday for the annual IHRA Nitro Jam Northern Nationals at US 131 Motorsports Park.
"Looking back, that was an amazing night. We traveled to Michigan last year hoping to make our quickest pass ever in a Top Fuel car, but what we accomplished was our fastest pass ever and the fastest pass ever in IHRA," Dom said. "It was such a cool feeling to put our names up there with so many legends that we have raced with in IHRA. To be listed with guys like Clay Millican, Bruce Litton, Shirley Muldowney, Doug Herbert - all drag racing legends - is amazing."
Now, just one year removed from that historical pass, Dom and his brother Bobby return to US 131 Motorsports Park for another go at the IHRA Nitro Jam Northern Nationals this Friday and Saturday. And this time, the eldest of the two brothers and one of IHRA's most decorated racers, Bobby, will return to the cockpit of a Top Fuel machine alongside his brother in a Lagana family showdown at over 300 mph.
On the agenda this time - the 4.5 second quarter-mile barrier - one of the toughest obstacles in Top Fuel racing.
"We love going to US 131. We go there a couple times a year and we really enjoy racing on that track. When we get there, we will make some hits and get it dialed in, but if the conditions are right, we will try for the homerun," Bobby said.
If Bobby or Dom Lagana can get it done, it will be among the best passes in IHRA history. The current IHRA quarter-mile Top Fuel record is held by six-time IHRA champion Clay Millican at 4.484 seconds set at Rockingham Dragway in October of 2005. The speed record still stands with Millican at 328.14 mph, as Dom was not able to back up his run last year.
And that might not be the only history made this weekend.
IHRA will also welcome back Mountain Motor Pro Stock to the quarter-mile this weekend at one of the fastest tracks in the country. All season long the Pro Stock teams have pushed the records in the class to new heights, with Missouri native John DeFlorian and the Black Diamond Motorsports team currently holding the record at 6.224 seconds at 226.70 mph set in April. In Martin, DeFlorian will be joined by a season-high car count as nearly a dozen teams look to secure a spot in the eight-car field with only two races remaining in 2014. DeFlorian currently sits second in the standings behind Goforth Racing's Cary Goforth in his bright orange 2014 Chevrolet Camaro.
Rounding out the Northern Nationals professional field will be the nitro classes of Nitro Harley and Nitro Altered, along with the US 131 Motorsports Park debut of the Larsen Motorsports all-female jet team.

The Pharcyde 20th Anniversary Tour
The Pharcyde 20th Anniversary Tour
Perryscope Concerts & Vogue Productions is proud to bring The Pharcyde 20th Anniversary Tour to Fortune Sound Club on February 19. Tickets for this night of nostalgia and hits with Pharcyde MCs Imani and Bootie Brown and crew, go on sale Friday January 18 at Northern Tickets, Red Cat Records and Beat Street Records.
In the early 90's, when gangsta' rap consumed the airwaves, and the majority of West Coast rappers strapped on their Locs, Chuck Taylor's & Ben Davis', The Pharcyde decidedly maintained a willfully weird vision. Opting to stay true to themselves with their left field but still South-Central sensibility, rap had seen few groups so self-deprecating and so smart, four visionary rappers adroitly able to split the difference between helium-voiced and hard-core. Listening to "Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde" two full decades after its release, its sense of timeliness is unmistakable. Every song on the album inverts a hoary hip-hop cliché. With classics like "Oh Shit," "Otha Fish", "Ya' Mama," and hit single, "Passing Me By," it is not surprising that it shipped over a million units, garnered comparisons to De La Soul and Tribe Called Quest, and everyone from Pitchfork Media to The Source has hailed it as one of the greatest albums ever made.
Speaking on the passage of time, their second release "LabCabInCalifornia" has revealed exactly how far-reaching The Pharcyde's vision was. From enlisting a young and then unknown James Yancey aka J DILLA to produce beats, the classic "Runnin" to collaborating with director Spike Jonze ("Being John Malkovich" "Adaptation") on the video for "Drop," it has consistently reinforced their steadfast refusal to tread familiar artistic grounds.
The Pharcyde continue to hone their individual abilities yet carry on the name & legacy in its original fashion. They still seduce their audience with the same boyish charm that founded them at the beginning. Now, it's combined with the knowledge that has been bestowed upon them as men who have taken on, and rose to the challenge of the rap game. The end result of all this hard work is a band that's still influencing the hip hop artists and sounds crowding our radio waves today and will continue to for many years to come.
Tuesday February 19, 2013 Fortune Sound Club, Vancouver BC Doors at 8pm Show at 9:30pm General Admission 19+ Tickets On Sale 10am on Friday January 18, 2013 Tickets $25.00 (+s/c) Tickets at Northern Tickets, Red Cat Records & Beat Street Records www.northerntickets.com 604-569-1144

If so, you could be in big demand this Christmas.
"We've had a lots of newspapers ringing up asking for Harrys," says Francesca Krachai of Lookalikes Ltd.
She says Harry lookalikes would have to be confident about appearing in public.
The agency's most popular lookalike characters are Posh and Becks.
There's also a Hagrid on the books, but no Rons or Hermiones yet.
Christmas lights
In Shrewsbury, in Shropshire, there was a competition among local schools to find a Harry Potter lookalike to switch on the Christmas lights.
The town cryer dressed up as Hagrid because he looked like him already!
According to the Susan Scott Lookalikes agency in London, the type of jobs awaiting Harry Potter lookalikes include opening ceremonies and photocalls.
By the way, if your dog looks like Fluffy - then don't call them, they'll call you!

There are two Genders for Mage and Hunter, and one gender for the other three classes. Let's know them more!
Forward: It is said that the tranquil and peaceful Vanilla Oasis is the homeland of hunters. They are blessed with the talent of Spirit Speak, which enables them to summon beasts to combat with them, such as Kylin, Divinegon, Phoenix, Genki, Unicorn, Pegasus and Flame-blazing Dragon. With the aid of well trained beasts, hunters can more easily take their enemies down in the thick of battle.
Hunters possess a primal connection to the beasts, capable of taming and training them to keep as loyal guardians. Besides, hunters can dual wield weapons in combat, fighting beside their pets in battle.
Inherence Introduction:
Mastery Inherence:
Focus on training a first-rank pet. Including training its defense, fighting ability and ability against some debuffs.
Shoot Inherence:

Apollo Nida (RHOA) Pleads Guilty To Mail, Wire and Bank Fraud
Apollo plead guilty to charges of mail, wire and bank fraud in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on Tuesday.
He sat in court wearing a light-colored plaid jacket (see drawing rendered below) and accepted charges that could land him in prison for close to three decades, and a fine of up to $1 million on top of restitution for an estimated $2.3 million; which he allegedly defrauded from various individuals, financial institutions and government agencies.
Judge Charles Pannell has set the sentencing hearing for July 8 at 2 p.m.
Nida's co-conspirator Gayla St. Julien, who said Nida ran the show, turned state's evidence against him after she was arrested in September, 2013, and received a sentence of 61 months in April.
Alana Black, the assistant U.S. attorney, revealed Nida's scheme in detail to Judge Pannell. She told him that Nida opened a fake debt collection agency to gain access to databases full of people's confidential information. He then stole people's ID and located unclaimed funds such as refunds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, stolen U.S. treasury checks and refunds from fraudulent U.S. income tax returns.
Nida had his co-conspirator, St. Julien, open UPS mailboxes and bank checking accounts using the fake identities; then she deposited the checks and they pocketed the money.
Nida also created fake auto dealerships and then got auto loans for phantom cars.
St. Julien was caught by the U.S. Secret Service – who was working with the state consumer protection agency prior to the agency's ability to procure Nida's laptop – which had oodles of evidence that he could not refute.
Nida said in court that he takes "full responsibility for my actions" and expressed regret for hurting his family and any individuals and institutions affected by his fraud. "It was a dumb situation I put myself in," he said.
In an attempt to justify the actions he took, he said after leaving prison following a five year sentence in 2009 for federal racketeering charges related to auto title fraud, he married Parks, who soon after signed on to be part of "Real Housewives of Atlanta."
Because she was making more money than him (he cited a $600,000 contract for her but didn't say how long that was supposed to last) he felt pressure to maintain his end of the deal. But had no resources to do it legally and opted for this illegal scheme instead.
He said Parks had no idea of his illegal actions as he claimed to her he was running a legitimate debt recovery firm and kept her firmly in the dark.

Docket Management
Docket: 95N-0304 - Dietary Supplements Containing Ephedrine Alkaloids
Comment Number: EC -1282
Accepted - Volume 326
Comment Record

Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
I feel that there are a lot of unjust claims about ephedra. The media is partly responsible for blowing this situation out of proportion. This product has been around for centuries and has been proven to be safe and have beneficial results for people that use it wisely. This is basically a witch hunt produced by the media and FDA. There are stronger, deadlier drugs out there that should be in the spotlight and be targeted. Ephedra is not one of them. For starters, try focusing on the problem that exists on our borders. Billions of dollars worth of illegal drugs enter our borders everyday that go unnoticed. Why don't we invest more time and energy solving that problem? How about alcohol? Something that is a regular part of everyone's lives. Look how many lives, relationships, and careers have been ruined by this socially acceptable drug that we all see everyday, think nothing of, and never actually comprehend the damage that it does. Not to forget the physical damge that alcohol does to a person's body. Ephedra has been proven safe in laboratory results again and again. I strongly believe that this product along with many others should remain on the market for those that can use it responsibly. I hope that the FDA can come to this conclusion also. Respectfully, Matthew Greiner
