Clinical research is critical to understanding diseases and improving treatment therapies. Clinical research studies aspire to answer specific questions related to a particular disease process. Some research studies focus on the quality of life patients experience while others compare the effectiveness of a particular drug or device. Through the years, SUNY Upstate physicians have participated in research leading to new and improved treatments for a number of cardiac conditions.
Before entering a trial, patients are counseled on the risks and benefits of study participation. Patients give their informed consent and can withdraw from a study at any time. A person's clinical research participation status does not affect the level or quality of care they will receive.
If you are interested in participating in any of these clinical trials, please contact our Clinical Research Coordinator or speak with your Cardiologist to receive more information.

WORTHINGTON, Ky. (AP) - An 80-year-old man died Saturday when the single-engine plane he was piloting crashed into the Ohio River in eastern Kentucky.
William G. Stevens of Grayson was pronounced dead at the scene on the banks of the river near Worthington, Kentucky State Police said.
The plane crashed at about 3 p.m. while trying to land at the Ashland Regional Airport in Worthington, troopers said.
Rick Lawson was fishing for bass in the Ohio River with his two sons and a friend when he heard the plane's engine sputter, then watched it crash about 100 yards from his boat. Lawson's wife, Diane, said her husband tried to rescue the pilot, but couldn't.
"He tried and tried again. He just couldn't do it. He hurt his hand trying to get the door open because he knew someone was in there," Diane Lawson told The Daily Independent in Ashland.
Stevens radioed back to the Worthington airport shortly after takeoff to report he was having engine problems and was planning to return, said Jack Metz, a member of the airport's board of directors.
Within minutes airport officials heard him say, "he was putting it in the water," Metz said.
David Prichard, who often watches the aircraft passing overhead in Worthington, said he "heard a loud crunch and no motor sound," when he realized the plane had crashed.
"I got down here and it was upside down, half submerged and sinking slowly," he said.
Metz told the paper that engine failure is almost certain to be found at fault.
"The engine wasn't running when he hit. He was flying it dead stick," Metz said, meaning the pilot had only basic flight controls to guide the airplane to the ground.
Metz and Robert Martin, who has worked on many similar aircraft, said Stevens "loved to fly" and was qualified to pilot single- and multiengine planes and had attained his instrument rating. Stevens also built an estimated dozen experimental aircraft with another under construction.
Stevens had a small airstrip at his home, roughly two miles from downtown Grayson, Metz and Martin said.
"It is hard to say how many hours of flight time he had," Metz said.
Greenup County Coroner Neil Wright ordered an autopsy to be conducted in Frankfort.
The airplane was a low-wing Grumman Cheetah AA-5B with seating for the pilot and three passengers.
The Federal Aviation Administration has been notified of the incident and is investigating the crash.

To the finals
NHIAA Field Hockey: Derryfield earns Div. III finalsBy HARRY KOSLOWSKI
Special to The Union Leader
October 30. 2013 10:34PM
EXETER — Derryfield School will enter the NHIAA Division III field hockey final a perfect 17-0 after defeating Hopkinton, 1-0, Wednesday in a semifinal at Bill Ball Stadium.
The undefeated, top-seeded Cougars, who have yet to concede a goal this season,controlled the play for most of the first half. But it was Hopkinton that had the biggest scoring chances in the first half.
If not for Derryfield goal eeper Kate Johnson, the Hawks could have scored as many as three goals.
With just one minute left in the opening half, Berklee Vaillancourt took a centering pass on a penalty corner and blasted a shot into the net to make it 1-0 Derryfield.
In the second half, Hopkinton prevented the Cougars from scoring again but could not generate any offensive chances until the final two minutes.
That's when Hopkinton appeared to score the tying goal but it was waved off by an official who called a kicked ball on the play.
Derryfield will face third seed Berlin on the final Sunday at noon at Bedford High School stadium.
BERLIN 3, GILFORD 2: Berlin's Erika Gendron tipped home a pass from Chelsey Caron three minutes into overtime to give the No. 2 Mountaineers a 2-1 win over No. 2 Gilford 2-1 in the NHIAA Division III girls' field hockey semifinal Wednesday at Bill Ball Stadium.
The Mountaineers advance to the finals to be played Sunday at noon at Bedford High School.
Gilford scored first on a shot by Alyssa Hamberger that was deflected by a defender in front of goalie Julie Downs.
Eight minutes later, Berlin's Jensyn Dandeneau was able to dribble her way through the Golden Eagle defense and score to tie the game at 1-1.
Both teams exchanged scoring chances but the half ended tied.
The second half remained scoreless though Gilford had its hands full with Dandeneau's skilled ball handling that created opportunities.
The constant pressure in the Golden Eagle zone resulted in many penalty corners but Berlin was unable to capitalize on them.
The teams went to overtime tied 1-1 as Berlin's Chelsey Caron put a shot on net as time expired that grazed the Gilford goal post.
Just three minutes into the overtime a penalty corner was awarded to Berlin.
Gendron centered the ball to Caron who shot. Gendron went to the net and extended her stick to tip in the winner.
"We definitely believed we could win" said Gendron. "We're all happy and proud right now."
Berlin coach Nicole Arguin said that corner play was something they work on. "It was a set play. It was the first time we executed it," Arguin said.
Gilford coach David Rogacki put his team's accomplishments in perspective. "When these kids were sophomores they were 2-12. To get to the final four, they did a great job.
"They wanted to leave a legacy and they did just that," added Rogacki.

"Did Nodoka win?" "It's better not to know," lol. Achiga's semi-finals are gonna be over pretty long before Kiyosumi's are, clearly. I seriously do wonder what they plan to do with Achiga after this match is over.
Anyway, holy shit Teru, lol. I totally just started smiling and chuckling in anticipation once I realized we'd finally/actually get to see her play starting with this chapter. Exciting chapter.

I'll be honest, I didn't think there was a thread for the manga. How wrong I was LOL.
Ah, but anyway, @Peanutbutter you're not alone; I fangirl EVERY TIME Shiraitodai's mentioned and more so when they're shown. That, and with a gratuitous amount of evil cackling. Achiga's strong, but they won't stand a chance.
And it's cool we get to see Shiraitodai in action, but what I'm waiting on is character development and interaction among its members. We know a little about Teru and Sumire but not the other three girls (Awai, Seiko, and Takami). It really makes me wish this manga wasn't monthly. I want to know what they're like D:

Damn good chapter. I can't wait for Teru to dominate but i do feel sorry for Kuro. Now if she pulls of the Nine Lanterns thing we see at the ending of Saki, there is no hope for anyone. I think that once this round is over the Achiga manga would end. I mean its not going to continue since its likely that they will be in the finals with Kiyosumi.

It comes back to what Hisa said at the beginning of the manga, the strongest player is usually the vanguard. I suppose this is because at the beginning the goal is to collect as many points as possible and if you get a huge lead at the beginning then players following you will not be stressed to win but, your opponents will. Its like a fighting manga, strike first so your opponent will be crippled for the duration of the match.
Ideally, in team battles like this you should allow your strongest to fight their second best, your second best to fight their third best, etc. But. of course in this plan, there is the possibility like what Jun did in the preliminary for the vanguard can drop an opposing team's score below zero its an automatic win. So use your strongest player now or you might not be able use them at all philosophy.
Thinking like this putting the strongest first is actually a very solid and almost risk free strategy.

Teru base ability is the same with saki. Which highest in mahjong world. The sisters can read the flow of tiles. The different is saki can read flow much higher than teru which saki combine with rinshan (tiles in dead wall) to complete her hand. Even teru can't get rinshan as much as saki. But teru has ability to see the hand of other players. NOT all players, just the players that has position in front of teru.
Because of that, the player in front of teru lose much point than the other and it's make teru as agresif players (same as kataoka yuuki). That why she become senbou (vanguard = player that like attacking that give flow of the matches to the team). Unlike saki who fit as taishou (captain = player that has complite control of herself to win the matches in any condition)

As most posters have already said, I believe that Teru can see all her opponents hands not just the one in front of her. If I have to guess the reason that Kuro was the first to have a mirror behind her is because her hand is easier to read.
Btw, have anyone noticed that Teru was reading a book before the match. Guess which other character likes reading books cough Saki cough. I think its a nice subtle hint on Teru and Saki's relationship...

My expectation for next Achiga chapter:
Teru - Her ability might work with everyone but maybe only one person at time. I wonder how this ability will help her making Nine gates/Lanterns hand. I hope we will get to see her teammate chatting i next ch. too.
Kuro - Come to think of it, Isn't this suppose to be the final match for Kuro in Achiga-hen?? Even Kuro lost, I think she will do something remarkable at least. (maybe entire dora hand "kazoe-yakuman")
Toki - Senriyama'ace. I think next ch. will be battle between Teru and Toki with Kuro and other school try to get in or avoid the fight. Toki will probably lost to Teru even though she has the ability to predict one round of discard. Somehow, I think the author might play with Toki's condition (Her poor Health) in this match. Still, trying to image Toki's face when she lost is one of the hardest thing LOL. Toki is one my favorite girl in Achiga-hen afte all.
Other school student - Since she played with Teru before, I think she will do the explanation job for us about Teru ability. I like her, you know. I meant she faced Teru before and she's still can make a smile in this match. She might either has strong mind or just very carefree.
(Continue from the last joke)
Kuro: God, can you help me???
God: NO, I refuse to get in the business between DEMONS

NEW YORK (AP) — A stage musical based on the film "An American in Paris" with music by George and Ira Gershwin is aiming for Broadway in 2015 after a stop in — where else? — Paris next December.
Producers said Thursday the new work will be directed and choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon and have a story by Craig Lucas. Bob Crowley has been tapped to make the sets and costumes. The story centers on a romantic tangle in post-war Paris.
The score includes the songs "I Got Rhythm," ''S'Wonderful," ''But Not For Me," ''Stairway to Paradise," ''Our Love Is Here To Stay" and "They Can't Take That Away." It will follow on the heels of other recent Gershwin stage hits, "Nice Work If You Can Get It" and "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess."
The 1951 film "An American in Paris" starred Gene Kelly and was inspired by a 1928 orchestral composition by the Gershwins.

Creepshow I would love a SE
I never got to see The Monster Squad. This review alone made me want to see it http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/monster-squa...
I liked the Goonies when it first came out and still do. I also found myself enjoying Critters, which I bought not too long ago. I like cheesy bad movies, so there's a chance I might like Monster Squad
Monster Squad, for me, is just another in a long line of '80s movies I liked as a kid and now cringe at. I'm an outcast among my friends. At least it's better The Goonies (oooo, I went there again).
I already own Creepshow, bought it from Wal-Mart for $5, so I'm not interested in the SE. I don't think I've ever seen Monster Squad, I might pick that one up, could be good.
Now now guys.......no need to loose the heads over this....
.....the novena for my dark and tortured exsistence begins to-Morrow!!!
...............................Im definately goin to hell....

Yeah, I've known about an SE of Poltergeist coming to standard DVD and high definition discs for it's 25th Anniversary for a little while now, but the little blurb about Twilight Zone: The Movie from WB's chat over at HTF really surprised me as I never thought that would see the light of day ever again. I just recently watched my old MGM copy of Poltergeist the other day having not seen it for several years, and if there's one blockbuster film from the 80s that needed cleaned up and remastered for home video it's that one.
Fabulous news Matt, I've hoped for these for myself and my boys (they're BOTH old enough BY the way)for ages. I also see on www.thedigitalbits.com the other day that we are also getting an updated POLTERGEIST release, and finally a TWILIGHT ZONE:THE MOVIE release soon too...
Some News On Both Creepshow and Monster Squad SEs Thought this was kind of interesting, but it looks as if you're in R1 and want an SE of the classic 80s horror anthology Creepshow with Romero and Savini commentary among other things you'll have to pony up for a region-free player. But don't fret, at least R1 is getting a Monster Squad SE sometime around Halloween of this year from Lionsgate that includes the film at its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio and other goodies, including commentary from some of the cast who are now all grown up. About damn time if you ask me.

Although Season 3 of Current TV's in-depth reporting series Vanguard doesn't get started on television until next Wednesday at 10 p.m. EDT/9 p.m. CDT, Hulu is bringing you the full season premiere a few days early. "The OxyContin Express" is an in-depth look at prescription drug abuse and the pill mills of Southern Florida, where lax prescription regulations provide easy access to addictive medications such as oxycodone for people all over the U.S. In her coverage of Broward County, Florida, Vanguard journalist Mariana van Zeller speaks to a family affected by pill addiction, travels the pill pipeline (the "Oxy Express") from Florida to Appalachia, and rides along as the police crack down on pill dealers. Hulu spoke to Van Zeller about this episode earlier this week. Below, she tells us why they chose to cover prescription meds and all about her harrowing run-in with the angry owner of a pain management clinic. (You can watch part of the experience in the episode.) — Rebecca Harper (), Editor
Hulu: Hi Mariana, thanks for speaking with us. Can you tell us about Vanguard?
Mariana van Zeller: Vanguard is an award-winning weekly documentary series that airs on Current TV. What we try to do is tell stories that we believe are important and unreported, and we try to tell them in a way that basically speaks to a young adult audience. We live in a time when most outlets out there, most networks, are shying away from international reporting. They're closing foreign bureaus, and they're just not telling international stories. It's out of a belief that people just aren't interested in international stories. We believe the exact opposite. We think that especially young people are interested in long-format, in-depth reporting, but there's no outlet out there that speaks to them directly. That's what we're trying to do. We do a lot of international stories, but we do a good batch of national stories as well. What we do differently is that we tell them in a more in-depth way. We don't spend a minute on the topic, which is what you see nowadays. Again, we live in a time when every subject is approached for either a minute or it's all conversation and discussion about the subject, but there isn't actually feet-on-the-ground, in-depth reporting. The way that we report our stories is also very different from what you see in traditional media. It's more off the cuff, informal. There's more immediacy to the feel. That's because, when things are staged, you sort of step away from the story, from the reality. We wanted people to feel like they're with us, that they're there on this journey as we tell these stories that we believe are important.
Of course, you reported on pills in the Season 3 premiere. Why prescription drugs?
You hear about prescription pills, unfortunately, when celebrities die. You heard a lot about it when Heath Ledger died and when Michael Jackson died, but that's pretty much it. But actually prescription pills are a growing problem in the United States. More people now are abusing prescription pills than ecstasy, cocaine and heroin combined. We decided to take a harder look at it, outside the celebrity world, and really go and do an in-depth documentary about where this is happening, why it is happening, and how it's affecting people. Just to give you an example, we found out that Florida was sort of becoming this source state, the Colombia of prescription drugs. A lot of people from all over the U.S. were heading to Florida to get their drugs. This has become a huge problem in Florida, where 11 people a day are dying from prescription drugs. This is something I like to say, because I think it really opens up people's eyes: The day that Michael Jackson died, 11 people died that same day in Florida. That's the average there. Between the deaths of Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson, 6000 people died in the state of Florida alone. This is a big problem and we can't just look at it through the eyes of celebrities. We felt that we really had to go out there and do some actual reporting and find out what's happening.
So what we did is, we followed the pills. We got to Florida and saw the devastation and the impact that prescription pills were having there, and then we followed the pill pipeline from Florida through Appalachia, where every day hundreds of people are coming down to Florida to get their pills and take them back to their states. They're having huge impacts there, too. Prisons are filling up and people are dying. It's destroying families and whole communities.
How did you find the people you profiled, people like Todd, an addict we meet at the beginning of the episode?
We spent about two months of preproduction in the office, just making phone calls every day, trying to find people. That was the hardest part, to find actual addicts who were willing to speak to us on camera. We were able to speak to a lot of them but, obviously, there weren't many who were willing to just give us interviews on camera. But then we came across Maureen, who's very active herself in the fight against prescription pills because she has lost a son already, and a daughter-in-law. She's become very, very involved in this fight against these pain clinics in Florida. On the phone with her, she told us that her other son was also addicted to prescription pills, so we came down to Florida and she introduced us to him. We ended up spending a few days with him, and it was just an incredible experience for us.
Watching this, I was personally disturbed by Todd's story and his actions, that he's still using after all that's happened to his family. Do you find that you have a hard time remaining objective as you report on things like this?
Absolutely. I think that's always the biggest challenge for us journalists. In this story in particular, we had seen the harm that these pain clinics and these doctors are doing to these people, and were trying at the same time to be objective. We tried to get their perspectives on this, too, and of course, as you'll see in the piece, we were chased away from one clinic. We called a bunch of other clinics because we wanted to set up interviews. No one wanted to talk to us. It gets really difficult when you're trying to get their voice in there, too, but you're being chased away and people are hanging up on you as soon as you call. I think that also says a lot about what sort of business is going on there, when we can't get anyone to sit with us and talk to us. What we have to see, too, is that this is a minority. It's a small group of doctors, but unfortunately they're capable of doing a lot of harm. I'm not saying the whole medical community is corrupt.
When you do these exposés, what are your goals? Have you had any success stories from past stories that you've covered?
I think our main goal is always to raise awareness, to make people talk about what is broken in the system. People usually ask us journalists, "Why do you always do sad stories or tragic stories; why don't you report on the good stuff?" Well, because when there's good stuff, there's nothing to report about. Our job as journalists is to shine a light and raise awareness on things when the system is broken, when things aren't working, not when they are. If they're working, it's because everything is going accordingly. I think that's always our objective, to shine a light and raise awareness on what's going wrong and what's broken in the system. In this case, it's very flagrant and very obvious that something is broken and something needs to change.
In "The Oxycontin Express," you were followed by someone during your coverage. What was that experience like? How did it all unfold?
It was insane. I thought I was in the middle of an episode of The Sopranos. Basically, we were filming on the other side of the street outside a pain clinic. As soon as we took the camera out — we had it out for five minutes — a car parked behind us. This guy started yelling at me because I was the only one standing outside the car at the time. He was cursing at me in a very, very threatening manner and asking us what we were doing. We explained that we were doing the film. He was just cursing and yelling, so we got in the car and drove off. He actually started following us. Two guys got into the car with him, and then another car joined them. Every time we tried to stop at a gas station, they would basically get out of the car and start running toward us. Eventually, we had to call 911, and they came to the rescue.
The back story is that we actually ran out of gas. We didn't include it in our story, but every time we tried to stop at a gas station, they would come out. Eventually, on the highway, we ran out of gas as we were calling 911. We had to pull over, and I think they were very confused about what was happening because it was in the middle of the freeway in Florida, so they just parked behind us. They stayed in the car and didn't come out or anything. We just waited. It was the most insane thing. The whole time, I was completely imagining that scene from The Sopranos where the guy comes out of the car and points a gun at us.
It was crazy. I was terrified. Luckily, the police arrived and they got off with a warning. We later found out that one of the cars belonged to the owner of the pain clinic, who was actually a guy who had already served time in prison for possession of steroids with intent to sell.
Have you had any other experiences like this, where you were in danger?
Oh yeah, many. I was doing a story once on the border of Syria and Iraq — it was actually right after the war in Iraq officially supposedly ended, when Bush declared the end to the war in Iraq. It was when the insurgencies started in Iraq, where insurgents, foreign fighters, were coming from all over to Iraq to fight. We did a story about the Syrians who were crossing the border into Iraq basically to fight the Americans. We spent a couple of weeks on the border, trying to get some of these insurgents who were coming back after fighting. We wanted to get their perspectives on what happened, why they were fighting, and how they were doing it. It was very, very scary because we were in a territory where, on one hand, we were told it was full of Al Qaeda members and, on the other hand, we were also trying to stay away from the Syrian secret police because we were there as tourists, or else we wouldn't be able to report this story. We were followed by the Syrian secret police several times and we had to get the tapes out through Lebanon and it was crazy stuff.
Let's see, what other harrowing experiences have I had? Well, we had another nerve-wracking experience when we met with militants in the Niger Delta, with the oil conflict. We had an appointment to meet them at this fort, and when we got there, it was a boat with seven armed young men — some of them looked like they were teenagers — who had a bottle of whisky in one hand, and a gun in the other, and they took us away for an hour in their boat in the middle of the swamps to one of their camps to show us, basically, their power. We were eventually able to speak to their spokesperson, and that was very nerve-wracking, especially since at one point, once we got there, to their camp, they didn't allow women inside. It's bad juju, bad luck to allow women in their camp. I had to stay in the boat and my producing partner, who is also my husband, was taken inside. So I stayed out in the boat with these seven guys with guns looking at me while my husband goes with the camera inside the camp. That was a nerve-wracking experience, for sure. I'm lucky that I do it with my husband, though. He's my own personal bodyguard.
What else are you reporting on this season?
We also have another story about the end of the war in Sri Lanka. For 25 years, the government of Sri Lanka was at war with one of the biggest badasses of modern-day terrorism. They're actually called the "O.G.s of modern-day terrorism," the Tamal Tigers. After 25 years, that war came to an end, and a lot of countries were looking at Sri Lanka as an example of how to defeat terrorism. We traveled to that country during the waning days of that war to see what Sri Lanka had to do to defeat terrorism and what kind of examples we could learn from that country, if any.
How did you get your start?
I'm from Portugal originally, and my name is Dutch, so I think I have a lot of the explorer's blood in me — you know, Dutch and Portuguese. I've always loved to travel and I sort of decided I wanted to become a journalist when I was around 12 years old. I used to see all these beautiful anchors on Portuguese television. They seemed so knowledgeable; they could talk about anything and go on for hours for every issue. Little did I know they were actually reading from a teleprompter! That's basically when I decided that I wanted to be that knowledgeable, and I always loved to travel. Early on, I decided I wanted to be a journalist, one who actually goes out and reports and travels and looks for stories. I wouldn't want to be just an anchor or anything.

Anwar-Pakatan vow to safeguard nation's assets and strengthen the economy
Mkini 1:23PM Jan 1, 2013
Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, has pledged a better management of the country's assets and economy and no leaders will be allowed to enrich themselves if Pakatan Rakyat comes to power.
In his five–minute New Year video message, Anwar said this was the promise or pledge that he is making, although it may not seem big.
"My small promise to you is that the nation's assets will be managed properly as no robbery will be allowed. A minister, or the prime minister or ruling elite, would not be allowed to enrich themselves in taking the country's assets and not be held accountable," he said.
"That is our pledge to the people in 2013 and we hope that this is attainable when the country is geared for elections early this year," he said.
Citing the negative reports on corruption and outflow of illicit funds from the country which involves billions of ringgit as highlighted in the Wall Street Journal and the Global Financial Integrity Report, he said this requires immediate attention.
These reports, he said are shocking but do not leave an impression on the ruling elite in Umno and BN.
"We must ensure that the leaders stop robbing the country's assets and that the ruling elite would not enrich themselves, their family members or their cronies from the country's finances and that the management of the economy would be better," he said.
"If the economy is better managed, I am confident there will be equitable distribution of income and there would not be unhappiness among the races of being sidelined in not getting a portion of the economic pie," he said.
The Global Financil Report lists Malaysia as the second biggest country after China to have money transferred out in the region of close to RM200 billion.
Transparency International also lists Malaysia as among the highest in an international survey, where company competitors responded that they lose out on business due to bribery.
Free education for all
Anwar who is also Permatang Pauh MP, also pledged to provide free education for all from primary school to the tertiary level by properly managing the economy.
For those who cannot or are unable to go to the university, Anwar pledged there would be various opportunities given to them to enrich their skills.
"There are those who question that the pledge is made because the election is looming. I do not hold that view as we have the capability and the economic strength through the gas reserves, palm oil, and revenue from income tax.
"The problem is the management of the economy, and I focus on education as this are pressing issue in the early part of they year. We will also focus on issues like housing, health, and ensuring price stability," he said.
He said by focusing on education regardless of their ethnicity, religion or social standing, the nation can help build on their human capital to thrust the nation forward.
Meanwhile, PAS spiritual adviser and Kelantan Menteri Besar Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat (right), in his New Year's message, urged the people to renew their determination to fight tyranny and replace it with justice.
Nik Abdul Aziz hopes that Islam would be practised as secularism in politics had destroyed the nation.
If this is allowed to continue further, he said, Malays would continue to be neglected, and Islam would also go nowhere.
"This year, 2013, will also see the 13th general election being called. Use your power and wisdom to vote wisely. Do not make the wrong choice, or else you will regret your decision in this life and the hereafter.
"Be convinced that all parts of the body including your limbs and hands will bear witness when they are asked come Judgement Day (di Padang Mahsyar)," he said.
Lim: 2013 a momentous year
DAP secretary-general and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng described 2013 as being a momentous year on whether Malaysians have the courage to change a 56-year-old government that is afraid of new ideas, lost its ideals and turned its back on principles of justice, freedom, truth, democracy and integrity in governance.
Lim (left) said the looming 13th GE should be a contest between which party or coalition can deliver Malaysia's promise of success to those who are honest, work hard, invest in the future and follow rules in a Malaysia that is clean, green, safe and healthy.
"If Malaysia is to get back on track, both economically and in political rights, 2013 should be about the people and performance, not about who is more racist and extreme," he said.
Lim pointed out that three Asean countries had surpassed expectations as their people-centric approach that focussed on performance had helped uplift their economies.
Thailand, he said, has exceeded all expectations especially in tourism, with the highest growth as the No 1 tourist destination, and in 2012 its stock market was the best performer in Asia. The Philippines had excelled in its manufacturing and achieved an economic growth of more than six percent; while Indonesia is the star performer with its impressive growth.
All three countries, he noted, benefit from a young population that is more skilled and a government that places more importance on economics than politics, and prefers performance and practical policies over racial and religious extremism and handling corruption.
"If Malaysians are to overcome those who wish to split us into racial and religious boxes, we must remind ourselves that despite our diversity and different cultural past, we are also bonded by the history of Merdeka and the federal constitution since 1957, of shared values and millions of familiar attachments.
"To bridge divisions, build trust and broaden support to allow all Malaysians to connect with each other, policies must not only be legally valid but also possess moral, popular and political legitimacy.
"Malaysians should take note of these three countries' successes and ensure that bad behaviour not be rewarded but punished and reject BN with corruption in their DNA. Lies and fear tactics that change will bring about a Christian state or an Islamic state can no longer work when ultimately what makes people's lives better is the key performance indicator that counts," he said.

All the above is nice to be read but when comes to practical it is just another politic gimmick by pakatan rakyat
Maverick permalinkJanuary 2, 2013 12:04 am
Mr Surin leave politics out see the thing around you and still you are not convinced I truly feel sorry for you.
Black Arrow permalinkJanuary 2, 2013 12:57 am
It is time to choose Pakatan Rakyat for what other alternative do we have? BN is terrible with all the mismanagement.
Robert Wong permalinkJanuary 2, 2013 10:11 am
Mr. Surin, put it this way. Agreed, PR may not be able to deliver 50% of their pledges in one single term of 5 years. But what have UMNO/BN achieved after 55 years in power for the country other than benefiting their leaders, elites, cronies and children with wealth beyond belief! In recent times, they have even started removing the little benefits the rural Malaysian Malays have benefited, similar to taking rice from the beggars' rice bowls! These leaders and their partners/followers have gone mad and it's time for them to go!
CheahSK permalinkJanuary 2, 2013 10:42 am
Penang should have an LRT years ago but that Mamatkhutty made sure the state got nothing and for years the BN state govt just keep quiet and spent their time on how to entich themselves and Penang people are now paying the price. Penang deserves more from the federal govt but the BN in now broke but they continue to bribe the un-informed with cash and what note. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Dust Caps: "The Deal on Dust Caps" by Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas is the head of Technical Support at Eminence speakers. I sent him over some questions about the dust cap you see in the center of a typical guitar amp speaker. I had an idea that they helped shape the sound to a certain degree but did not realize how much of affect they had. Anthony dishes all the dirt in this interview I entitled "The Deal on Dust Caps".
300guitars: Hi Anthony. First let's start off with you explaining what the dust cap on a guitar amp speaker is.
Anthony Lucas: Hi Billy. Thanks for having me again. I'm glad you picked this topic. I'm not sure people realize just how important this design feature is. The dust cap is the round, often dome shaped, component in the center of the cone that covers the voice coil and magnetic gap. A lot of people incorrectly assume that the diameter of the dust cap represents the voice coil diameter, but that is rarely the case.
300guitars: What mechanical purpose does it serve?
Anthony Lucas: The dust cap's main purpose is to keep dust and debris out of the magnetic gap. Even the smallest particle getting into the magnetic gap can create problems.
300guitars: How many different materials are used for the dust cap?
Anthony Lucas: Eminence uses cloth, paper, felt, and a few aluminum dust caps for guitar speakers. Aluminum was more commonly used on older/vintage designs. It's tough to work with because it dents very easily!
300guitars: Explain how each different material affects the sound.
Anthony Lucas: What people might not know about dust caps, in general, is that they color/shape the upper-mids and highs. Each material has a different effect because they vary in stiffness and porosity. Designers can use this to their advantage to help voice an associated frequency range.
When we use cloth, it is generally just a screen type of dust cap…what we call a Zurette. It is relatively neutral, meaning it colors the sound very little, if any. You hear more of the signature response of the cone with this type of dust cap.
Paper is harder and stiffer and can add peaks and extension to the highs.
Felt is used to tame a bright, peaky cone response. The result is warmer, smoother, more mellow upper-mids and highs. I think it is the most coloring material.
Aluminum is even stiffer than paper caps and adds significant top end extension. The disadvantage is that it's also heavier. The added mass lowers SPL. Aluminum lends a unique quality to the highs that you will either love the detail it adds or hate because it's too harsh. I like to refer to it as a "jangly" top end. While I have seen/heard instances where it's worked out well with the right amp and cab, it is generally not a good material for hi-gain applications. It just gets strange and messy…..sounds like your tone just crashed into something that didn't give.
300guitars: Does size matter? How does the size affect the sound?
Anthony Lucas: I hope we're still talking about dust caps! Yes, the size of the dust cap matters. The size determines where the dust cap will be attached to the cone. Different frequencies are generated from different areas of the cone….fundamental frequencies and harmonics. When you attach something to a specific spot on the cone, you are adding rigidity and mass to that area. Most guitar cones are very thin and lightweight, so a little change can have a big impact. It can affect the way the cone responds to the signal (transient response, linear motion) and to some degree, the break up characteristics. If you watch a guitar speaker under a strobe light, you will see that the cone is excited in all different directions, especially the more you push it. It's not just a linear, up and down movement like you might expect.
Some speaker designs use a dust cap that is installed on the voice coil former rather than attached to the cone. We call this a "pop-on" dust cap and we will use it to smooth out the response in the 2kHz-5kHz frequency range. Yeah, everybody's thinking…."Smooth out the top end response!?!?! Where you get those pop-on dust caps????" I can see all the questions on how to change a dust cap coming in now, and of course, the "how do I repair my speaker that I damaged trying to modify the dust cap" ones. Well, it's not usually that desirable to do this type of "smoothing" on a guitar speaker because the peaks and dips often create more detail and interest sonically.
The shape of the cap is another factor. It affects the way the speaker projects the frequencies from the center of the cone. You'll notice that some dust caps are more bulbous or more conical than others. The smaller, more conical ones seem to add more "sizzle" to the top end.
300guitars: How is the dust cap held onto the cone?
Anthony Lucas: Most dust caps have a lip, which is used to glue it to the cone. Ones without lips are centered and a bead of adhesive is applied around the perimeter of the dust cap, adhering it to the cone.
300guitars: Do you ever recommend "beam blocking" types of diffusers for the dust cap?
Anthony Lucas: I have personally never tried one…..I have the resources to easily change the dust cap if I don't like the highs…haha. I do hear good things about them and that they're effective at curing harshness on the highs.
300guitars: Thanks again for taking the time for another insightful interview about speakers Anthony..!!!
Anthony Lucas: Thank you, Billy….always a pleasure!

McCormack, Johnson, Zdrill Selected
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Bulldogs came within a game of playing this weekend in the national semifinals, but three Yale players have been invited to showcase their skills close to Lincoln Financial Center in all-star competition. Defensemen Michael McCormack and Peter Johnson and attackman Kirby Zdrill have been selected to play in the 2013 USILA/Lax World Division I-II North-South Senior All-Star Game at Edith Robb Dixon Field on the campus of Cabrini College in Radnor, Pa., on Friday, May 24, at 5:30 PM.
The Eli trio, possibly the most players Yale has ever had in this event, is part of a 27-player North team coached by Eric Seremet (Air Force) and Andy Copeland (Fairfield). They are also three of five players from the Ivy League on the North squad; Princeton has the other two.
McCormack, recently named team MVP, is a likely All-America pick who may end up playing in an MLL regular-season game for Charlotte instead of heading to Pennsylvania for the all-star game. Johnson, who could be named the winner of the Senior CLASS Award in Philadelphia on Saturday, led the team in caused turnovers and was the team's defensive MVP, while Zdrill has a career-best 30 goals for a Bulldog team that trailed in every game but still had all that success.
Yale finished the 2013 season with a 12-5 mark, a second straight Ivy League Tournament Championship and its first NCAA Quarterfinal appearance since 1992.

City police and SXSW back down after public demonstration
March 12, 2013
As a result of ardent protest and a wave of people standing up for their First Amendment right to free speech, the City of Austin's Code Enforcement squad, its police department and the SXSW interactive festival caved to allowing the Infowars Magazine street team, as well as others, to hand out flyers, bumper stickers and magazines.
As Infowars went down and protested, APD backed off on their ban, but here are some of the actual photos of people being ticketed for handing out Infowars Magazine.
On Friday, Code Enforcement told Jones and his Infowars media team that they would not be allowed to use city metered parking because their cars had Infowars.com bumper stickers. CBS News didn't include us in their report, but they did talk to others that had also been told by police that they couldn't distribute handouts on the street.
This is a great example of how we have to stand up for liberty or lose the most basic freedoms.

Portsmouth police identify man they say robbed jewelry store twice
June 12. 2013 8:39AM
PORTSMOUTH – A man suspected in two "smash-and-grab" burglaries of a downtown jewelry store is under arrest in Massachusetts where police say he made off with about $500,000 in jewelry in similar burglaries in Andover, Beverly, Peabody and Swampscott.
James J. Radler, 51, whom police called a "one-man crime spree" was arrested at the Knights Inn in Danvers, Mass., over the weekend, according to the Salem (Mass.) News. He is being held on $750,000 cash bail, suspected of stealing $460,000 in jewelry.
Portsmouth police are obtaining warrants for his arrest for burglarizing Chrisrial & Co. Fine Jewelry, 28 Deer St., on Feb. 7 and again on Feb. 22.
Radler is a suspect in 15 jewelry store burglaries over the past nine months in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, the Salem News reported.
In February, police said Radler threw a dumbbell through the front glass door of Chrisrial & Co. and then stole more than $20,000 in merchandise. Fifteen days later, he allegedly did it again, only that time he used a sledgehammer to break the glass.
According to the Salem News, DNA from blood found at one of the Massachusetts jewelry stores led police to Radler.

Course Details
EDU730 Effective Educational Systems
This course is designed to assist educational leaders in assessing needs and planning and communicating the importance and content of the effective school improvement plan. Building curriculum, designing instructional activities, maintaining positive school climate and assessing organizational performance through improvement planning are primary responsibilities of school/district leadership. This course will utilize an inquiry format into school effectiveness with students taking major responsibility for guiding the class discussion. The work will take a critical slant, interrogating traditional ideas about the means and ends of public education and proposing alternative solutions. This course is designed to encourage and assist students in deconstructing traditional ways of thinking about effectiveness and to critically examine traditional measures of effectiveness (i.e., assessment scores, dropout rates, etc.). The intent of the deconstruction and critical examination is not to diminish the importance of measuring school effectiveness, but rather to appreciate the inherent complexity of the issue and to understand and acknowledge relevant limitations in ways that can inform the work of scholarly practitioners. 3 Credits

HLN and HLNtv.com will bring you live coverage of opening statements in George Zimmerman's trial, which are scheduled to begin 9 a.m. ET Monday.
When the dust settled after almost two weeks of jury selection in the George Zimmerman trial, attorneys were left with a set of six female jurors. But jury experts say their gender may not make much of a difference when it comes to the verdict in the case.
These six women are being tasked with deciding the fate of the former neighborhood watch captain, who is on trial for second-degree murder for killing Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, on the night of February 26, 2012. He claims he shot the teenager in self-defense.
INTERACTIVE TIMELINE: The George Zimmerman Case
The fact that not a single man (apart from two of the four alternates) was picked to be on a jury of Zimmerman's peers was quite a shock to several jury consultants. Especially when you compare the all-female jury to the statistics in Seminole County, where the trial is being held, which only has a slight majority of females (51.5%).
But when the pool of 500 potential jurors was whittled down to 40, the panel candidates already skewed more female with two-thirds of jurors being women.
Watch: Zimmerman's brother speaks to Dr. Drew
So what could this all-female jury mean for Zimmerman? Jury experts have differing opinions on how it could shake out in the deliberation room.
"You already have a little bit of a movement toward consensus," said Richard Gabriel, a jury consultant in Los Angeles, California. "It's always easier for people of the same sex/race to get along and talk to each other."
The prosecution wants unanimity, according to Gabriel, so this could be a win for them. But Susan Constantine, a jury consultant in Orlando, Florida, said an immediate consensus among women isn't guaranteed.
"Any time you ever get a group of women together, it's never a good thing," she joked. "When you're dealing with all kinds of personalities in there and women with their emotions - they're coming from all different aspects of life."
In addition to being an all-female jury, most of the jurors are white except for one, who is black and Hispanic. This may be an issue for many who consider race to play a big part in this case since the defendant, who identifies as Hispanic, has been accused of racially profiling the victim, who was black.
But Mark NeJame, a CNN analyst and criminal defense attorney in Orlando, pointed out that the racial makeup of the jury actually mimics that of Seminole County, even if you include the four alternate jurors who are also white. This would make one out of 10 jurors (including alternates) black/Hispanic while about 11% of the population in Seminole County is black, according to the 2010 census. About 78% of the Seminole County population is white, while 17% of people identify themselves as Hispanic (the numbers for Hispanic are calculated for the total population and are considered a part of "ethnicity" and not "race").
Watch: Trayvon Martin's father: My son was not a thug
If you look specifically at Sanford, Florida, where the shooting took place, then the racial makeup of blacks on the jury is actually disproportionate to the number who live in the city. About 30% of the population of Sanford is black while 57% is white and 20% identifies as Hispanic.
At first, NeJame thought it could be the jurors' sex that would benefit the prosecution most. Constantine also said women tend to be tougher on crime. But as jury questioning came to an end, NeJame said sex became less relevant. More important was a juror's stance on guns.
"That was one of the big things the defense would be looking at, is that you're going to have people who aren't hesitant with firearms," said NeJame. "I think that neutralizes the all-woman aspect of this."
One of the jurors said she carried a concealed weapons permit at some point. Add her to the three others who either have guns in their home or know family members who do and more than half of the jury has some familiarity with firearms. To put that in perspective, 19,389 people have concealed weapons permits in Seminole County out of a population of 428,104, according to Florida's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Division of Licensing.

The defense could score another win with jurors who have a criminal history.
"It shows that people can be falsely arrested, people can be falsely accused," said NeJame.
Two of the six jurors have said they were arrested in the past. To put that in perspective, 19,084 people were arrested in Seminole County in 2012 out of a population of 428,104, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
While looking at these factors of sex, race, gun views and criminal histories was important to the jury experts, Constantine said it may be jurors' individual personalities - especially their agreeableness - that ends up playing the biggest role. At the end of the trial, jurors have one task and that's to come to a unanimous decision about whether Zimmerman is guilty.

And one of the key people in getting that jury to a unanimous verdict is the jury foreperson, who will usually bring people around to their point of view. All three experts point to one woman as the standout for this lead role. She's the only one who seems to have managerial experience, having supervised more than 1,000 people in one of her many jobs.
She's been a resident of Seminole County for nine years, is retired and has no kids. So what's going on inside the mind of this woman, who could end up becoming one of the more pivotal characters in the deliberation room?
The only clues we have are these observations from Constantine, who has been in the courtroom for jury selection almost every day including the day this juror was questioned:

"She was an extremely good, active listener. She had really great comprehension skills. She was also good at critical thinking," said Constantine.
Attorneys have told jurors they should expect the trial to last anywhere from two to four weeks, during which time they will be sequestered. Opening statements are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. ET on Monday.

Women in Kuwait have voted for the first time ever in parliamentary elections. Women, of course, have also voted in all of the recent elections in Iraq. In fact, Saudi Arabia reportedly is now the only Arab country that holds elections but doesn't allow women to vote.
The increase in female sufferage in the Arab world represents a huge victory for human rights, and holds out the promise, though hardly the guarantee, of leading gradually to further liberalization in the region. This development deserves more attention from our media and our feminists than it has received.

To rape is the crime. It damage mind and the girl can't trust her parents. Parents should love their children. First, They should take care on their children. Second, Parents must advise their children to do good things. Home must be the warming home for children. Do you agree with me?
