Nadirah Mansour
- Near Eastern Studies
I study the intellectual history of the Arabic-speaking world in the 19th and 20th centuries. I also did my bachelor's degree at Princeton University and during my time as an undergraduate, I focused mostly on Islamic studies: my undergraduate thesis was on Palestinian Islamic institutions and their involvement in promoting nationalism. I then did a year at the Center for Arabic Studies Abroad (CASA) based at Qasid in Amman, Jordan, where I studied, amongst other things, Quranic exegesis and Islamic law. However, during my short time as a graduate student, I have felt the pull of social, cultural, and conceptual history. Inevitably, my interests are shifting. To simplify things, at dinner parties, I say I'm working on print culture in the Arabic-speaking world.
My pursuit of graduate studies is mostly inspired by my desire to share my love of the Arabic-speaking world: when not writing or reading histories of the Ottoman and Arabic-speaking worlds, I spend a lot of time steeped in conversations on public history and the digital humanities. I have a short piece coming out on Arabic magazines on the Haaretz Social History blog this summer, and in my spare time I'll be conducting interviews for the Middle Eastern Studies channel on New Books Network. Teaching is also a priority. In Fall 2016 I'll be assistant-teaching NES 201: Introduction to the Middle East (Professor Cyrus Schayegh), for which I'm also developing part of the curriculum.

Alabama Record Vs. LSU Impressive
One reason Alabama has won a lot of championships is because the Tide has a pretty good record against strong teams, such as LSU. With Saturday night's 21-17 win, the Crimson Tide now has a 47-25-5 record against the Fighting Tigers. More impressive is that Bama has a record of 25-9-2 against LSU in Baton Rouge.
Alabama Coach Nick Saban improved his record against the Tigers to 4-4 since coming to Tuscaloosa. Bama has won two of the last three and four of the last six games against LSU.
With the win, Alabama improves to 21-6 against the Associated Press top 25 over the past four seasons and 12-4 against AP Top Ten teams. Alabama was ranked number one and LSU number 5 going into the game.
Bsma added to the halftime lead resulting in victory dominance the Tide has had under Saban. When leading at the half (Bama was up 14-3 Saturday night), Alabama has a record of 58-3 under Saban.
Alabama increased its school record scoring streak to 151 games.
The Tide continues to play without having suffered an interception. Alabama and Louisiana Tech are the only teams in the nation to have not given up an intercepted pass. It has been over 12 games since Alabama last threw an interception, which is the longest streak in the nation.
A.J. McCarron continues to build on his career record of passes thrown without an interception. His streak is now at 289 passing attempts without a pick.
McCarron has now thrown 19 touchdown passes this year. He had only 16 all last season. McCarron, a junior, now has 38 career touchdown passes, which ranks fourth in Alabama history. John Parker Wilson is the leader with 47. McCarron's 19 passing touchdowns in a season is one behind the Alabama record of 20 held by Greg McElroy, set in 2010.
Alabama placekicker Jeremy Shelley is the nation's only placekicker to have not missed an extra point or a field goal kick this year. Shelley was 3-3 against LSU and is now 45-45 on PAT tries. He did not attempt a field goal against LSU and remains at 9-9.
When Drew Alleman kicked a 38-yard field goal in the first quarter to give LSU a 3-0 lead, it marked the first time since the Ole Miss game that Bama had trailed in a game. It was only the second time this season the Tide had trailed. Bama would also trail in the fourth quarter before making its remarkable comeback.
Although HaHa Clinton-Dix had been announced as the starting safety, it was Nick Perry who opened in Bama's secondary.
Alabama captains were safety Robert Lester, offensive guard Chance Warmack, and defensive end Damion Square.
The game was played before 93,374, a new Tiger Stadium record.

Bopanna-Srebotnik in Mixed Doubles Quarters of US Open
India's Rohan Bopanna and his Slovenian partner Katrina Srebotnik sailed into the US Open mixed doubles quarterfinals after a comprehensive straight-set win in their second-round match here.
Sixth-seeded Bopanna and Srebotnik defeated the Spanish-South African pairing of Anabel Medina Garrigues and Raven Klaasen 6-3 6-4 in a contest which lasted an hour and five minutes.
Therefore, the quarterfinal will have an Indian on both ends of the court as Bopanna and Srebotnik will square off against top seeds Sania Mirza and her Brazillian partner Bruno Soares.
In a rather lop-sided match, Bopanna and Srebotnik took merely half an hour to clinch the opening set after converting two of the three break points they earned.
The Indo-Slovenian team had a markedly better second serve percentage and the pair sent down 10 winners against its rival's five.
The second set was a tad more competitive but Bopanna Srebotnik were still the better of the two combinations. They once again broke Garrigues and Klaasen twice to seal the issue in their favour.

Brooklyn's Finest near AshburnOfficial Movie Site
Movie Times for Ashburn
Something of a genre homecoming, Antoine Fuqua's latest film once again finds him delving into the gritty, brutal realm of cops and crooks-as he did in Training Day. Tango is an undercover officer on a narcotics detail that forces him to choose between duty and friendship. Having been to hell and back, he wants out, but the powers that be won't let him quit. Family-man Sal is a detective tempted by greed and corruption. He can barely make ends meet, and now his wife has an illness that threatens the life of their unborn twins. Eddie is nearing retirement age and has long since lost his dedication to his job as a cop. He wakes up every morning trying to come up with a reason to go on living...and he can't think of one. Fate brings the three men to the same Brooklyn housing project as each takes the law into his own hands. Crosscutting between multiple subplots, Brooklyn's Finest unfolds violently and passionately as coiled, constantly roving cinematography contributes a measure of unease to the underworld action. Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, and Ethan Hawke bring all of the intensity and complexity required to breathe stunning life into their characters' fractured souls. Fuqua flourishes in this terrain. Showing complete command of the cinematic language of the genre, he creates a visceral and emotional punch that displays a master at work.
When Troubled Cops Cross the Thin Blue Line
"Brooklyn's Finest" burrows deep into the collective memory of generations of meaty, emotional movies about New York City cops in trouble.

Worth seeing and doing a private tour to avoid the crazy lines to get in. Lots to see inside and the Statue of David is truly amazing to see up close.

One Day in Florence
Florence Highlights
As part of a guided walking tour of Florence, we began at the Accademia. Because we were with a guide, we had access to the museum before it was open to the public and were able to see the David without waiting in line or dealing with crowds. In addition to the David, we saw other completed and incomplete works...
Of course, everyone wants to see the David statue when they arrive in Florence, and it certainly is the centerpiece of the museum. But there is so much more to the academy than just the one statue. About half the museum focuses on sculpture, and the exhibit explaining the "school" with all the basic forms was really interesting. Then there...
The Accademia di Belle Arti is a historical museum that gives you a whole lot of insight into whet makes Florence such a lovely art city. Lovely sculptures and beautiful art work. Highly recommended
Florence (or Firenze) is simply an open air museum. To understand the soul of this city's beauty, it would be good to get yourself introduced to its history and enjoy a guided tour. I like it!
Do yourself a favor first and foremost... go with a tour. A private one is not very expensive and well worth the extra few dollars but a group tour also works. Why? Because they take you to the front of the line through a different entrance! Otherwise prepare to stand in line for a long time. But even if you...
This is a small very popular museum, crowded with people because it houses some of Michelangelo';s finest work, including his David, which alone is well worth the price. If you see only one piece of marble in your life, let it be this one.
The Academia with its prized sculpture of David is worth the trip but lining up outside you are constantly barraged by very aggressive street vendors and gypsies that don't like no as an answer. Physical confrontations with some of the vendors here are a real issue .
We really enjoy the museums with sculptures in combinations with paintings.
I tend to find the painting frames sometimes more beautiful than the painting itself.
Sculptures on the other hand are demential so the feeling is completely different. I can see and feel the details of the craftsman.
Art is so much a persons perception, what they look at and...
Here you can see "David", the impressive masterpiece by Michelangelo, nd other interesting sculptures. Skip the huge lines with the firenze card.

The rescueME PLB1, which communications and safety-at-sea specialist Ocean Signal says is the world's smallest personal locator beacon, has received FCC approval and is now available for sale in North America.
Ocean Signal's rescueME PLB is distributed exclusively by Datrex in North America.
Ocean Signal says the rescueME PLB1 is almost 30 percent smaller than other PLBs, is designed to fit onto any lifejacket and be easily activated by one hand in even the most challenging conditions.
To activate the rescueME PLB1, users pull its retractable antenna out by its end tab, flip open the spring loaded cover over the activation button, and hold down the button for one second until the lights blink. Visual instructions are clearly printed on the case.
When activated, the rescueME PLB1, which boasts a seven-year battery life, will transmit accurate position data from its 66 channel GPS for a minimum of 24 hours, Ocean Signal says, while an integrated strobe light provides maximum visibility. Giving a 1 candela light emission, this high intensity strobe light features a molded lens to enhance visibility of its efficient LED.
Even after more than 24 hours of continuous operation, and when battery power is insufficient to transmit the satellite signal, the PLB1's homing beacon and strobe light will continue to operate, Ocean Signal says.
Self-tests of the PLB can be carried out with a simple press of a button; a green flashing light indicates the start of the test and results. The antenna extends easily like a normal tape measure and can be retracted using the winding mechanism on the top of the unit. This unique feature greatly facilitates user training and familiarization, Ocean Signal says, as it is not a one-time deployable antenna similar to existing PLBs.
A snap-in mounting bracket and universal rubber mounting strap are supplied, and can be fitted permanently or with each use. The PLB also comes with a detachable flotation lanyard to accommodate all scenarios.
The rescueME PLB1 exceeds statutory requirements and is covered by a seven-year warranty.

Already hit with the cancellation of St. Paul's River's Edge Fest, Twin Cities music lovers were hit with more bummer summer-concert news Tuesday: First Avenue called off its inaugural festival.
"We had a lineup in place ready to go, and then over the course of three days our two biggest acts dropped out," said First Ave general manager Nate Kranz, whose disappointment was as audible as a Motörhead gig at his legendary club.
The club confirmed the decision Tuesday after weeks of inquiring tweets about one of the most anticipated concerts of the outdoor season. Most of the summer's other big music bashes have already announced their lineups, but First Ave's fest — set for July 20 at Parade Athletic Fields near downtown Minneapolis — was stuck in limbo.
Kranz did not name names, but at least one of the pullouts is coming to town for another big summer event. Another legendary act probably isn't coming here at all. A search for replacements came up short, given the relatively late notice and the inability to shift the date of the event, which was set by a permit from the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board.
"For our inaugural fest we hope to create an event that lives up to the high standards of First Avenue," said a news release from the club. "If we had moved forward this year that would not have been possible."
The club originally hoped to stage the festival in 2012, but pulled the plug last March because it got too late a start in booking bands after waiting for approval to use the city park. Kranz said he and the staff will circle the wagons and lock in bands even earlier for next year. They might even make it a two-day event.
"We had plenty of bands that are interested, but they just weren't available that exact day," he said. "We can't offer them another date, like we can at the club."
On the upside, all those calls looking for acts did lead to some big outdoor shows that First Ave is promoting at other venues this summer. That includes the already sold-out Alabama Shakes concert July 28 outside the Cabooze in Minneapolis, and a show in Duluth announced Monday — an only-in-Minnesota gig featuring Trampled by Turtles and Atmosphere on June 29 at Bayfront Festival Park.

Audience Reviews for Wildfire: The Arabian Heart
Horrific. Usually I like watching movies that really suck just for the comedic value, but the atrocious acting was unbearable.
Super Reviewer
Very bad acting, filming, directing, sound guy can't place mics correctly (so bad sound), and the whole movie is basically a watered down version of a good movie they copied the script from but left off the ending and possibly modified the middle where they decided to end the movie. Every actors acts like they are reading lines they were forced to memorize and just plain cannot act. If you can stand over an hour of that, then this movie might be ok (well if you like this sort of watered down copied & slightly rewrote to destroy the point & plot type films)
All the actors are bad and the filming is done by an armature who can't even do simple basics of filming the directing is even worse and don't gotta say much about the editing since there is so many scenes that could & should have been cut from this, I guess they didn't want to make it shorter than the already short movie it was, but really has stuff that adds nothing to the worthless copycat script , yes it was vaguely familiar I believe it is copycat watered down version of a good movie somewhere, though I haven't the time to look it up and find out what exact movie they copied. If you want proof the actors are bad, every single actor reads to the camera like they are doing a play they were forced to memorize (if you can't stand an hour of that, then by all means watch the movie).

Transmission system with improved tone detection
Image Number 6 for
United States Patent #5850437
In a transmission system, a signalling tone is transmitted by a transmitter to a receiver via a transmission channel. In the receiver, a tone detector detects the presence of a signalling tone. In order to improve a reliability of the tone detector, a number of correlating elements which determine a correlation value between an input signal and a reference signal are used. Absolute output signals of the correlating elements are added by an adder to derive a combined correlation signal to be used for detection.

Consumers can order more than 1 million products by noon and have it delivered by 9 p.m. in Baltimore, Dallas, Indianapolis, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Amazon introduced same-day delivery in May in Phoenix, San Francisco and Seattle.
Amazon.com Inc. has expanded its same-day "Get it Today" delivery tool to Baltimore, Dallas, Indianapolis, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. The e-retailer now offers delivery the same day to metropolitan areas that represent 17% of the U.S. population.
The e-retailer, No. 1 in the Internet Retailer Top 500, says more than 1 million products are eligible for the same-day delivery program, which enables consumers to place orders as late as noon any day of the week for delivery by 9 p.m. Members of Amazon's Prime shipping program—which costs $99 per year for two-day shipping on Prime-eligible products—pay a $5.99 per-order shipping fee for the same-day deliveries. Other consumers pay $9.98 for the first item and 99 cents for additional items.
In May, Amazon launched its Get it Today deliveries in Phoenix, San Francisco and Seattle. Get it Today enables shoppers on Amazon to use a filtering tool to see only those items that can be delivered the same day. Such items are also marked as eligible on product pages. Amazon also says that "a similar 'Get It by Tomorrow' filter will allow customers to discover millions of additional items that can be delivered the next day."
"Imagine how much time you will save now that you can get sunscreen, memory cards, toothpaste, hit movies, text books and HDMI cables all delivered to your home in hours, seven days a week, in one order from Amazon," says Greg Greeley, vice president, Amazon Prime. "New convenient pricing also allows Prime members to fill up their same-day shopping cart with everything they may need for one low price."
As Amazon seemingly speeds up the pace of deliveries, the e-commerce operator also has shown a willingness to slow down. Late last month, Amazon launched a "no-rush" shipping option for Prime members. In return for a bit of patience—instead of getting their goods within two days, customers will receive orders in five to seven business days—Amazon will reward those customers with a $1 credit that can be applied to titles offered via Amazon Instant Video.
Today's same-day delivery expansion announcement may be more about public relations than sound financial direction, says Sucharita Mulpuru, an e-commerce analyst with Forrester Research Inc. "I don't think Amazon has much more room to invest in money-losing propositions moving forward. They are missing earnings estimates, they have terrible projections for the future, they have tremendous risk associated with their stock price, and efforts like same-day delivery aren't going to pay off for years," she says. "I think any speculation that Amazon is getting into same-day delivery in a heavier way is not based in reality and it is not an investment that will experience much success. I suspect they are smart enough to recognize this as well. Their PR machine is not their finance machine."
With Google devoting less space to search ads, those positions become more valuable than ever.

Predicting Competitive-Unethical Negotiating Behavior and Its Consequences
Roger Volkema is an associate professor of management at American University in Washington, DC, and IAG/PUC in Rio de Janeiro. His e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Denise Fleck is vice-dean academic of Coppead Graduate School of Business/UFRJ in Rio de Janeiro. Her e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Agnes Hofmeister is dean of the faculty of business administration at Corvinus University in Budapest. Her e-mail address is email@example.com.
This study examines the relationships between negotiators' attitudes toward competitive and unethical tactics, their actual use of those tactics, and their subsequent perceptions of performance and reputation in two-party, e-mail-based negotiations. The results indicate several predictors of competitive-unethical behavior, including a negotiator's attitude toward competitive-unethical tactics, early use of competitive-unethical tactics, and the behavior of a negotiating counterpart. Furthermore, it was the perceived honesty of one's counterpart rather than the actual use of competitive-unethical behaviors that was associated with a negotiator's perceptions of the collective or joint outcome. The implications of these findings are discussed, along with suggestions for future research.

B. J. and I have made the Bahamas and the Caribbean a kind of second home. We have cruised there six times and we are in the process of booking yet another cruise to the awesome Western Caribbean in the not-too-distant future. The blue clear Caribbean is funtabulous and the tropical islands are balmy, beautiful and dreamy.
However, cruising to us two veteran cruisers is much more than just riding a boat amongst the adorable islands. We want to see and experience each island we visit first hand, chat with the natives and, of course, sample the local cuisine. While there is no shortage of food on a cruise ship, we like to test the Caribbean home cooking.
Cruise lines offer land excursions at each port of call. B. J. and I take advantage of these offers and buy into them; it is fun. It is exciting to tour these lovely islands with an informed tour guide.
Caribbean restaurants are different; they have a colorful out-of-this-world character. B. J. and I like the quaint hole-in-the-wall eateries with a great view of the sea and landscape and surrounded by palms. We found one to our liking on Grand Turk that had a grand view of the beach and the Westerdam docked beside the beach.
Cozumel had a picturesque upstairs café adorned by gaudy native arts and crafts. A panoramic view of the harbor, a calypso band, and a gentle breeze from the sea was so relaxing and wistful.
Another quaint hashery, flimflam and quite quirky in appearance, was found in Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. This chophouse was situated flat down on the white sand beach. We wiggled our toes in the sand and surf as we ate; it was indeed different.
You can buy genuine American food such as hamburgers, hot dogs and French fries in the Caribbean but who wants to sail two thousand miles to order something you can get at your hometown MacDonald's?
Try the local gastronomy.
Conch (called "hurricane ham" by some of the natives) is a Caribbean favorite. In most places, the Caribbean is familiarly known as the "Conch Republic."
Conch is a common name that is applied to a number of different medium to large-sized sea snails or their shells. Conch meat has a mild, sweet clam-like flavor, but like abalone, it is extremely tough and must be pounded, or marinated in limejuice to tenderize it before cooking. Some of the most common uses are for conch fritters, conch chowder, conch steaks and marinated raw conch salad. Most restaurants in South Florida have conch fritters and/or conch chowder on the menu, along with the ubiquitous Key Lime Pie. B. J. and I ate our first conch in Key West.
Among the items, B. J. and I collect on our travels are cookbooks and recipes. We have a collection of cookery books accumulated from everywhere.
Following is a traditional Bahamian recipe that is made with conch. This wonderful shellfish is delicious. These fritters are great as an appetizer, finger food or as a very tasty hors d'oeuvre. Our favorite is conch fritters.
one quart oil for frying
cup all-purpose flour
one egg
cup milk
ground cayenne pepper to taste
salt and pepper to taste
one cup chopped conch meat
onion chopped
green bell pepper chopped
two stalks celery chopped
two cloves garlic chopped
Heat the oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C.). In a bowl, mix the flour, egg and milk. Season with cayenne pepper, seasoned salt, salt and pepper. Mix in the conch meat, onion, bell pepper, garlic and celery. Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Yum, yum, fun delicious!

Foreign banks struggling to comply with US rules, as BNPP fine shows

Good 3.9 /5 from 802 reviews
The room was clean but a little musty smelling. great breakfast included!!
This place is advertised as InnSuites, There is no Suite! It's plain motel room. Right down to the clogged bath tub that had me in ankle deep water the first shower I took. Best Western and HOTELS.COM should be ashamed for charging me 90.00 a night to stay there. I HATED my stay.
it was all good. No problems. Close to restaurants etc.
The roon eas OK, but the hair dryer did not work, air conditioning on the bottom of the Wall is too close to the bed, so if you lie down on that side of the bed it is freezing. Bu the hote conditions was awfull , dirty and messy allround!!
Pleasantly surprised at the value for the cost. Nice room with wet bar. Only thing missing is an elevator but help was offered for toting luggage.

REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/29/14 -- Oracle (NYSE: ORCL)
News Summary
Oracle today introduced Oracle Solaris 11.2, a modern cloud platform that melds efficient virtualization, application-driven software-defined networking (SDN) technology and a full OpenStack distribution. This powerful combination of an enterprise-class operating system and other components creates a highly efficient, compliant, secure, open and affordable software platform for cloud computing. With deep integration among Oracle Database, Java and Oracle Applications, businesses can use Oracle Solaris 11.2 to deliver the most reliable, high-performance, efficient and secure IT services and accelerate time-to-market for new deployments. Oracle Solaris is an important component of Oracle's Systems business.
Oracle President Mark Hurd and Executive Vice President John Fowler will discuss the new release at an event in New York City today. Join the live Webcast at 1:00 p.m. ET.
News Facts
- Oracle Solaris 11.2 is a complete, integrated and open platform engineered for large-scale enterprise cloud environments. It combines OpenStack, SDN technology, clustering, and virtualization with a proven enterprise-class OS, all in a single product.
- Customers can simplify their IT infrastructure and deliver reliable, high-performance, efficient, compliant and secure cloud services to their end customers at low cost.
- Oracle Solaris 11.2 incorporates a complete OpenStack distribution, bringing OpenStack functionality to Oracle Solaris environments and managing other hypervisors and infrastructure in the data center.
- Oracle Solaris 11.2 allows IT organizations to now deliver services from "zero to cloud" in minutes rather than weeks, with enterprise-grade reliability, security, and performance.
- Oracle Solaris 11.2 features simpler, faster lifecycle management capabilities than previous releases. For example, one customer reported 16x higher administrator productivity with Oracle Solaris compared to Red Hat.
- Oracle Solaris 11.2 offers an integrated hypervisor on both SPARC and x86 for zero-overhead-virtualization, in addition to its current Solaris Zones capabilities.
- Oracle Solaris 11.2 introduces application-driven Software Defined Networking that integrates with Oracle Java, Oracle Database and Oracle Applications in order to deliver application-level quality of service.

Supporting Quotes
- "Oracle's relentless innovation offers customers the strongest cloud product portfolio in the industry. By engineering the OS, the virtualization, SDN and OpenStack together, Oracle Solaris 11.2 provides a complete cloud solution," said John Fowler, executive vice president, Systems, Oracle. "It's a complete platform for simple, efficient, secure, compliant and open enterprise cloud deployments that can help customers accelerate their businesses and capitalize on the potential of cloud computing while reducing cost."
- "Cloud computing is creating an entirely new set of expectations for enterprise-class infrastructure software," said Al Gillen, Program VP, Servers and System Software, IDC. "Where once offering the piece parts -- the OS, virtualization and networking -- was a sufficient starting point, having an integrated solution is becoming more of the expectation for enterprise customers looking to build a private cloud. With Oracle Solaris 11.2, Oracle offers an enterprise-ready solution that includes OpenStack based management, and makes enterprise cloud deployments easier and more affordable."
