Congrats on the acceptance! If you don't mind, could you share more about the part where they asked about your math background and reasons for pursuing quant psych? Were they looking for specific coursework (e.g. linear algebra, probability, real analysis) or were the questions more general in nature? As for the reasons for pursuing quant psych, were they expecting some kind of concrete experience that led you to quant psych? Hope that you get responses from the other programs soon! PS: I'm not applying this round but would like to get more insight into the admission process!
Thanks very much for sharing your insights! Having read all the responses here (and after consulting friends who majored in pure math), I think I will be taking nonparametrics for a grade and will only be auditing functional analysis out of interest. Really appreciate everyone's views on this issue!
Got it! The only reason I'm sparing some thought for functional analysis is because it's related to the applied area my honors thesis is in. I think at my stage it's not necessary to actually use the results from functional analysis. But since I have to pick a class anyway I'm just toying with the idea of getting more background.
Yeah one reason why I was looking at functional analysis is that quite a lot of people have mentioned its relevance to things like kernels, Bayesian nonparametrics and functional data analysis. For now I'm browsing through kreyszig's Introductory functional analysis with applications to see if I would be somewhat interested in the material before committing an entire semester to it. Thanks again for everyone who replied! Wasn't really expecting this much input!
Thanks for all the advice! As for proofs, it's not that I hate it, but it's not like I love it either. But I certainly think it's important to be able to read and digest the proofs though. Otherwise I don't think one can get a good grasp of the literature in whatever subfield one is working in. I'm really more into applied research (but not too applied to the point where you are just using tools developed by others to work solely on empirical data). Will look more into biostats programs!
Thanks so much for your input! If you don't mind, I have another quick question: Out of the three classes, which one do you think is the most useful (ignoring the difficulty of the class) for statistics research (especially in the more applied areas)? The main issue i have with pure-ish math classes (like functional analysis) is that they tend to be a little too detached from statistics and oftentimes i find it quite hard to maintain sufficient motivation to power through the deluge of theorems, lemmas and proofs (e.g. while studying metric spaces, most of the time i was like "who the heck cares if a set is compact!". Of course, now I see why people care after studying some advanced probability and optimisation theory). This motivation issue is probably made worse by fact that my main background is in psychology and I ventured into statistics by accident. So it would be great to get some insight into how each topic is relevant to actual statistics/methodology research!
Hi all, I was hoping to get some advice on which course I should take in the coming semester. I only need one more class to complete my undergrad and I am currently faced with three choices: 1) Functional Analysis 2) Stochastic Processes II (i.e. continuous-time Markov chains, martingales) 3) Nonparametric Statistics To provide some background, here's the list of math/stats classes (with grades) I've completed Math Linear Algebra (A), Calculus I,II (B+) -- Used pass/fail option here, Calculus III (i.e. Multivariable) (B+), Probability (A), Mathematical Stats (A-), Real Analysis I (B+), Real Analysis II (A-), Real Analysis III (Metric Spaces) (B+), Stochastic Processes I (A-), Ordinary Differential Equations (A-), Advanced (Measure-theoretic) Probaility (grades not released yet but probably A- and above) Statistics Intro to Computing (B+) -- Used pass/fail option here, Regression Analysis (A+), Simulation (A+), Categorical Data Analysis (A+), Data Mining (A), Computer-Intensive Statistics (A+), Linear Models (A-), Bayesian Statistics (A), Multivariate Statistics (A), Structural Equation Modeling (A), Psychometrics (A) As you can probably tell, my math grades are less than stellar, especially in analysis. Considering how real analysis is so important, I was wondering if getting a good grade in functional analysis would kind of make up for it. However, the main drawback of taking functional analysis is that the professor teaching it next semester is known for making math modules a lot more difficult than they usually are. So taking functional analysis is kind of like a gamble: if I do well then great, but if not I may end up getting a really ugly grade. On the other hand, I know for a fact that it would be easier to score a decent grade for the other 2 classes. Any thoughts?
Fall 2019 Quant Psych Applicants (+ AMA with Faculty and Grad Students)!
Thank you all for your responses! The information provided has been immensely helpful. Really hope that I can be part of this amazing quant psych community one day!
Thank you both for providing such detailed responses! They were really helpful! I have a question about the interview process: What are the things faculty look out for when interviewing potential candidates, especially when it comes to international students? I know (or am I mistaken?) that for domestic students they tend to invite potential candidates for on-site visits, but how does it work for international applicants who can't simply hop on a plane to the States due to financial constraints? Moreover, are there any pitfalls one should be aware of during an interview? I'm probably sounding like an idiot for asking something so obvious but I would really like to avoid committing a cultural faux pas in something as important as a grad-interview. @MissData Is it possible to share more about your grad experience at OSU? The program at OSU is really interesting to me since there appears to be a decent mix of quant and math psychologists (I'm interested in both) within the quant area. Do the different PIs / labs interact much with each other, or is each group mostly doing its own thing in isolation? What about the peer group within the quant area? And what is it like to live in Columbus as a grad student (as compared to something like cities on the coasts)? Once again a big thank you to everyone who contributed to this info-sharing!
Dear all, Thank you for hosting this AMA session! I happened to chance upon the field of quant psych only in the past year and I find this part of psychology to be really interesting! I'm also hoping to apply to a quant psych program in the near future! I would greatly appreciate it if someone could answer some of queries below: 1. What is the level of mathematical rigour one should expect in quant psych? I've browsed through several articles in quant journals (SEM, MBR, Psychometrika) and the level of mathematics involved seems to vary wildly from article to article. Should I be expecting epsilon-delta proofs and asymptotics? Or is it more computational (e.g. extensive simulations) in nature? I'm pretty comfortable with simulation-based studies but I can't quite imagine spending 4-5 years solely on deriving asymptotic properties (which seems kind of divorced from psychology). 2. What is considered a decently strong math background? I'm currently doing a double in psych and stats but I kind of messed up a few math modules (B+ for calc, multivariable calc, real analysis I & III). Will that be a problem? To put things into perspective, I've scored decent grades (at least A-) in other math modules (ODE, Linear Algebra, Real Analysis II, Probability etc.) and all the stat modules. Also there's no grade inflation where I'm at (some school in Asia) but I guess most American professors won't be aware of that?. Is it even worth it (from an admissions point of view) to take more advanced (pure-ish?) math classes (like linear algebra II, functional analysis) to make up for those deficiencies? 3. One thing that really confused me is the apparent distinction between mathematical psychology and quantitative psychology. How exactly are they different? Or are there some overlaps? 4. Will previous experience in substantive research actually help when applying to quant psych programs? If yes, how much does it matter? I've spent quite a bit of time working on social decision-making before transitioning towards quant and I'm just wondering if its even relevant at this point. 5. Does the prestige of the PhD program matter when it comes to job prospects for faculty positions later on? I know that the specific advisor you get is probably more important but still... Also, how do you actually evaluate the "prestige" (whatever that means) of a quant psych program since there are so few of them? Its a little confusing since the conventional league tables for psych don't really apply to the quant subfield. 6. I know that some programs allow (or demand?) that their students take up a masters from the stats/biostats department. Is that usually the case or is it program-specific? Sorry for the long list of questions! Really appreciate being able to get some insight into quant psych through this platform!

Apple’s most recent trend suggests a bearish bias. One trading opportunity on Apple is a Bear Call Spread using a strike $212.50 short call and a strike $217.50 long call offers a potential 30.89% return on risk over the next 6 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bear Call Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were below $212.50 by expiration. The full premium credit of $1.18 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $3.82 would be incurred if the stock rose above the $217.50 long call strike price.
The RSI indicator is at 41.52 level which suggests that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold at this time.

President Dallin H. Oaks spoke at the “Be One” celebration of the 40th anniversary of ending the priesthood and temple ban for black LDS.
In his pre-general-authority life, Pres. Oaks graduated from University of Chicago law school in 1957, clerked for the US Supreme Court for two years, and worked in corporate litigation and as a University of Chicago law professor before becoming president of BYU in 1971. He is a very intelligent and competent leader, and I am grateful for his leadership in the church.
From 1968 – 1970, he was on the editorial board of Dialogue, a Journal of Mormon Thought. He must have read Lester Bush’s landmark article published in Dialogue, that Mormon Historian Dr. Greg Prince believes had a significant impact on Pres. Kimball in the years leading up the revelation.
Pres. Oaks at the Be One celebration talked about his feelings about the priesthood ban in the years prior to Pres. Kimball’s revelation.
Why was the revelation on the priesthood such an occasion of joy? As a young man studying and working in the legal profession, I lived in the Midwest and the East for 17 years. The restriction on the ordination and temple blessings of persons of African ancestry—almost invisible to me as I grew up in Utah—was a frequent subject of my conversations in my life in Chicago and Washington, D.C.
I observed the pain and frustration experienced by those who suffered these restrictions and those who criticized them and sought for reasons. I studied the reasons then being given and could not feel confirmation of the truth of any of them.
I determined to be loyal to our prophetic leaders and to pray—as promised from the beginning of these restrictions—that the day would come when all would enjoy the blessings of priesthood and temple. Now, on June 8, 1978, that day had come, and I wept for joy.
Among those who also wept for joy at the priesthood revelation were Dr. Russell M. Nelson and then-deputy commissioner of education Henry B. Eyring. In 1978, both of these men had lived outside the somewhat isolated environment of the Mountain West for more than a total of 40 years. They had also witnessed the pain of this restriction among their associates.
Here are some observations I’m gleaning from his remarks.
In the years prior to the 1978 revelation, Pres. Oaks disagreed with an important church policy.
A primary reason for Pres. Oaks’ disagreement came from the fact that he was more familiar with the group of people affected and marginalized. The Utah church and leaders were somewhat isolated from the issue. But since he was working and living among black LDS and non-LDS, apparently this made him think about it more, relate better to the marginalized group, and more clearly see the injustice.
Other good LDS and future leaders (Pres. Nelson and Pres. Eyring) felt similarly and for similar reasons.
Pres. Oaks was likely reading Dialogue, A Journal for Mormon Thought, and presumably other non-Church-approved sources to help him determine his position on this issue.
In addition to his familiarization with the marginalized group, his study of scripture and church history and prayer also led him to disagree with Church policy.
He studied both the reasons for the ban and the criticisms for the ban, and he came down on the side of the criticism.
He determined, though he disagreed, to be loyal prophetic leaders and continue to pray for a revelation to be received.
I think this is a pretty good model to show why some LDS could disagree with a policy or doctrine, how to study it out and come to an opinion, and what to do about it. He gives license for members to disagree, implying it is the right thing to disagree in certain cases. The key for doing this as a member in good standing is to pray and hope for change, but do so while staying loyal to the Church. I analyzed what this means in a prior post, looking at many statements made by the brethren, including Pres. Oaks, and determined this general guideline.
I read in a recent post that Pres. Kimball consulted with Pres. Oaks in the years prior to the 1978 revelation. I think it can be assumed that Pres. Oaks rightly modeled the “OK” side of how to disagree and express disagreement on the issue. And maybe he was part of the reason for why Pres. Kimball became more active in seeking the revelation and eventually received it.
I think this illustration gives us great hope that the church can and does change on important issues. I can think of a couple areas, female equality and LGBT+ issues, where many people have some disagreement and are following this pattern modeled by Pres. Oaks to be involved in change.
I failed to be clear on a few things which I will clarify and hopefully provide a little better insight into my thought process on this post, which many people felt was bonkers.
Pres. Oaks, with training as an attorney and in public relations roles in his career, is a very precise speaker. He uses words sometimes to convey an idea without committing fully to it. He does this in his talk on several points, causing some to interpret things the exact opposite way. I tend to view things from an optimistic stand point, maybe wishing too hard to hear what I want to hear from the brethren. I think of this as receiving them in “patience and faith”, but others may view it as acting as an Apologist.
I do not make the point that Pres. Oaks ever asserted that the very existence of the ban ever in church history was wrong. I strongly believe that with his examples of where he was going against the mainstream views of the church, that he was admitting to some sort of disagreement with church policy, either that the ban should be modified, should have been ended a long time ago, or maybe was wrong in the first place. He wasn’t clear, but to me he strongly pointed to the idea that he disagreed. That’s the thrust of the article.
Pres. Oaks implied in his talk that though he disagreed, he stayed quiet and implied that’s how members should disagree. My intent here was to take the fact that Pres. Oaks disagreed and then pivot that to what other church leaders have said are OK ways to express disagreement. Though I also believe he quietly, behind the scenes, was working to end the ban, that’s not the only way to disagree.
If you are a faithful LDS, and if you have hope that LGBT issues will change, then the priesthood ban is the ultimate comparison. The time period and climate on black LDS issues leading up to the 1978 revelation would be directly comparable to today’s climate on LGBT issues. Any precedents or important events or angles that are relevant to the 1970’s climate would apply or give insight to today’s situation with LGBT. This is why I felt it was an important point to make.
Thanks for this. We have covered some of the negative aspects of his talk in a previous post. It is important to see where (subtly) the talk progresses the narrative.
I would only caveat, that he didn’t disagreed with the polciy, but he places a dichotomy between reasons and policy. He only disagreed with the reasons.
He was also the acting dean at Chicago’s Law school.
I disagree with your interpretation of President Oaks’ remarks. To me, they sound like the same thing he said to the Associated Press on the 10th anniversary of the revelation: “I decided a long time ago that I had faith in the command and I had no faith in the reasons that had been suggested for it”.
I agree with Nathan Whilk. Oaks’s comments and his general attitude about the ban are not at all reassuring to me. To decide that you have faith in a command while simultaneously not believing in any of the reasons that are given for said command is about as close to aimless and blind obedience as one can get. Indeed, it was men having faith in that command, despite not necessarily agreeing with the reasons for it, that allowed church leaders to be wrong about the eternal destiny of an entire race of people for over 100 years.
I have just read the 180+ comments.
What is clear is that Oaks language allows for dozens of different types of interpretations. I have dealt with hundreds of politicians and lawyers in my occupation and negotiated with many of them. His language is deliberate, thought out and able to have ascribed to it different meaning.
In reading the above comments, they reflect the normal confusion and variance of opinion when someone speaks like this. Literally dozens of different ways to interpret his remarks.
It would seem that you have taken one of the dozens of these options and overlaid a discussion on progressiveness – and lgbt issues. Taken in the context of his history, recent talks and the overall organisational behaviour of the church, this is, to me, a very unstable connection.
When someone like Oaks speaks the way that someone like Oaks speaks, I tend to listen to him the way I listen to a bad politician. With scepticism, in context and with caution regarding anything I do based on what they say.
Troy, where did he say he had “faith in the command”? Maybe I missed that?
churchistrue – I disagree that Oaks is expressing the idea that he disagreed with the ban. He states that disagreed with the reasons for the ban, not that he disagreed with the ban itself. In fact, he explicitly states that he decided to be loyal to the leaders (ie – loyal to their decision to keep the ban in place). He further says that he prayed that the day would come when people of African descent would receive the priesthood. He does NOT say that he ever felt, or that he now feels, that the ban was wrong from the beginning. But I agree with you that he is speaking in legalese. Oaks’s words are often spoken like a true lawyer, slippery and with hidden meaning. I’m trying to be objective in analyzing his words here, but I will disclose that I really don’t like the guy and that may paint my interpretation of his words.
churchistrue – I’m referring to Nathan Whilk’s comment. Oaks made the “…faith in the command” statement in an interview with the Associated Press in 1988.
OK, I see. Well, I don’t love that comment but I get where he’s coming from. For me, I think it’s relevant and important that he was expressing that he disagreed with a church policy. And then I think what we do with disagreement is better taught by other church leaders, which is where I got the bullet point list of do’s and don’ts.
In relation to the Ban, the church has been very consistent in speaking about it. Anyone who has worked for a large corporation (at least in the areas that deal with public relations), media companies or political parties would know that when there is a controversial topic, or matter of high media importance, leaders / managers are given talking points. The purpose of this is to express a singular narrative and to control the language. It’s almost like DHO has taken the essay on Race and the Priesthood and overlayed it to his personal experience.
Unfortunately, I don’t think your mental gymnast stuck the dismount on this one. Nice try, though. Really close.
I believe Mary Ann’s assessment was more accurate.
You list “attacking the reputation of a Church leader” under the Not OK file. Unfortunately the intimation that current or past leaders may taken an incorrect position on something is generally read as attacking their reputation. One doesn’t have to come out and say “The leaders are/were wrong on this issue” but it’s a pretty easy leap to that conclusion from a statement like “I disagree with the brethren on this issue.” If we don’t have space to do the former then we generally won’t be able to do the latter in a church setting.
Umm, I think that it’s *not* clear that he disagreed with the policy. That’s an unjustified interpolation. Anything laid on it is subject to doubt.
These sorts of strains seem to be intellectually satisfying to some, but that seems to be as far as it should be taken. Feeling justified in ones doubts … and, as usual, on either uncertain grounds or in retrospect sounds … so empty.
If you believe in the actual power of the priesthood, namely that it is a delegation from God, then it is entirely up to God to decide upon whom to bestow it and it is automatically “just” by definition.
if you do not believe in this power of the priesthood, what exactly is not bestowed? How much injustice can there be in bestowing, or not, something you believe is a fiction?
Perhaps some think it is a type of dominion over others, a power to be lusted after. As soon as a man begins to exercise unrighteous dominion, “amen to the priesthood of that man”.
Priesthood, in my opinion, should be seen as *permission* to use (or try to use) God’s authority to perform certain services. Some persons probably do not require this permission, and some services probably have implicit permission (parents for their children). The strongest power of all (*) is simply the name of the Son of God spoken in humility and faith.
* or so it seems to me.

president dallin h. oaks spoke at the “be one” celebration of the 40th anniversary of ending the priesthood and temple ban for black lds.
in his pre-general-authority life, pres. oaks graduated from university of chicago law school in 1957, clerked for the us supreme court for two years, and worked in corporate litigation and as a university of chicago law professor before becoming president of byu in 1971. he is a very intelligent and competent leader, and i am grateful for his leadership in the church.
from 1968 – 1970, he was on the editorial board of dialogue, a journal of mormon thought. he must have read lester bush’s landmark article published in dialogue, that mormon historian dr. greg prince believes had a significant impact on pres. kimball in the years leading up the revelation.
pres. oaks at the be one celebration talked about his feelings about the priesthood ban in the years prior to pres. kimball’s revelation.
why was the revelation on the priesthood such an occasion of joy? as a young man studying and working in the legal profession, i lived in the midwest and the east for 17 years. the restriction on the ordination and temple blessings of persons of african ancestry—almost invisible to me as i grew up in utah—was a frequent subject of my conversations in my life in chicago and washington, d.c.
i observed the pain and frustration experienced by those who suffered these restrictions and those who criticized them and sought for reasons. i studied the reasons then being given and could not feel confirmation of the truth of any of them.
i determined to be loyal to our prophetic leaders and to pray—as promised from the beginning of these restrictions—that the day would come when all would enjoy the blessings of priesthood and temple. now, on june 8, 1978, that day had come, and i wept for joy.
among those who also wept for joy at the priesthood revelation were dr. russell m. nelson and then-deputy commissioner of education henry b. eyring. in 1978, both of these men had lived outside the somewhat isolated environment of the mountain west for more than a total of 40 years. they had also witnessed the pain of this restriction among their associates.
here are some observations i’m gleaning from his remarks.
in the years prior to the 1978 revelation, pres. oaks disagreed with an important church policy.
a primary reason for pres. oaks’ disagreement came from the fact that he was more familiar with the group of people affected and marginalized. the utah church and leaders were somewhat isolated from the issue. but since he was working and living among black lds and non-lds, apparently this made him think about it more, relate better to the marginalized group, and more clearly see the injustice.
other good lds and future leaders (pres. nelson and pres. eyring) felt similarly and for similar reasons.
pres. oaks was likely reading dialogue, a journal for mormon thought, and presumably other non-church-approved sources to help him determine his position on this issue.
in addition to his familiarization with the marginalized group, his study of scripture and church history and prayer also led him to disagree with church policy.
he studied both the reasons for the ban and the criticisms for the ban, and he came down on the side of the criticism.
he determined, though he disagreed, to be loyal prophetic leaders and continue to pray for a revelation to be received.
i think this is a pretty good model to show why some lds could disagree with a policy or doctrine, how to study it out and come to an opinion, and what to do about it. he gives license for members to disagree, implying it is the right thing to disagree in certain cases. the key for doing this as a member in good standing is to pray and hope for change, but do so while staying loyal to the church. i analyzed what this means in a prior post, looking at many statements made by the brethren, including pres. oaks, and determined this general guideline.
i read in a recent post that pres. kimball consulted with pres. oaks in the years prior to the 1978 revelation. i think it can be assumed that pres. oaks rightly modeled the “ok” side of how to disagree and express disagreement on the issue. and maybe he was part of the reason for why pres. kimball became more active in seeking the revelation and eventually received it.
i think this illustration gives us great hope that the church can and does change on important issues. i can think of a couple areas, female equality and lgbt+ issues, where many people have some disagreement and are following this pattern modeled by pres. oaks to be involved in change.
i failed to be clear on a few things which i will clarify and hopefully provide a little better insight into my thought process on this post, which many people felt was bonkers.
pres. oaks, with training as an attorney and in public relations roles in his career, is a very precise speaker. he uses words sometimes to convey an idea without committing fully to it. he does this in his talk on several points, causing some to interpret things the exact opposite way. i tend to view things from an optimistic stand point, maybe wishing too hard to hear what i want to hear from the brethren. i think of this as receiving them in “patience and faith”, but others may view it as acting as an apologist.
i do not make the point that pres. oaks ever asserted that the very existence of the ban ever in church history was wrong. i strongly believe that with his examples of where he was going against the mainstream views of the church, that he was admitting to some sort of disagreement with church policy, either that the ban should be modified, should have been ended a long time ago, or maybe was wrong in the first place. he wasn’t clear, but to me he strongly pointed to the idea that he disagreed. that’s the thrust of the article.
pres. oaks implied in his talk that though he disagreed, he stayed quiet and implied that’s how members should disagree. my intent here was to take the fact that pres. oaks disagreed and then pivot that to what other church leaders have said are ok ways to express disagreement. though i also believe he quietly, behind the scenes, was working to end the ban, that’s not the only way to disagree.
if you are a faithful lds, and if you have hope that lgbt issues will change, then the priesthood ban is the ultimate comparison. the time period and climate on black lds issues leading up to the 1978 revelation would be directly comparable to today’s climate on lgbt issues. any precedents or important events or angles that are relevant to the 1970’s climate would apply or give insight to today’s situation with lgbt. this is why i felt it was an important point to make.
thanks for this. we have covered some of the negative aspects of his talk in a previous post. it is important to see where (subtly) the talk progresses the narrative.
i would only caveat, that he didn’t disagreed with the polciy, but he places a dichotomy between reasons and policy. he only disagreed with the reasons.
he was also the acting dean at chicago’s law school.
i disagree with your interpretation of president oaks’ remarks. to me, they sound like the same thing he said to the associated press on the 10th anniversary of the revelation: “i decided a long time ago that i had faith in the command and i had no faith in the reasons that had been suggested for it”.
i agree with nathan whilk. oaks’s comments and his general attitude about the ban are not at all reassuring to me. to decide that you have faith in a command while simultaneously not believing in any of the reasons that are given for said command is about as close to aimless and blind obedience as one can get. indeed, it was men having faith in that command, despite not necessarily agreeing with the reasons for it, that allowed church leaders to be wrong about the eternal destiny of an entire race of people for over 100 years.
i have just read the 180+ comments.

I know Trump. I know the Storm. I know patriots. I know America. The globalists manipulate our compassion to push wrong things, like open borders. When you're awake, you still have compassion but it's righteous. Deportation is right, weaponization is wrong. Trump won't do it.
A smart bait and switch. Fool them into thinking the Mueller Report was today to draw out the false flag (sorry France, you were used), and then move it to Thursday. Can [they] pull another one together at such short notice? Any quick action cells with a 24hr turnaround? No?
The war between the evil globalists and freedom-loving patriots is being managed carefully to minimize civil unrest as much as possible. The Deep State have a series of contingency events as they near their most desperate so it is impossible to hide it from the public completely.

Illinois Republicans Promise To Block Gov. Quinn's "Insatiable Appetite For More Spending"
GOP lawmakers in Illinois are warning the governor that they will block any efforts to borrow more money to pay the state’s old bills.Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn is expected to propose an $8.75 billion borrowing plan when he unveils his budget today, the Chicago Tribune reports. The money would be used to make overdue payments to vendors.
The Trib echoes GOP criticisms in an editorial, calling Quinn’s borrowing proposal “dangerous and unnecessary.” Quinn’s budget plan is expected to increase spending by more than $1.4 billion.
The new borrowing would be in addition to the state’s $3.7 billion bond issue, originally scheduled for this week. The sale was postponed to give investors time to consider Quinn’s budget proposal.

The Rev. John Ludden, pastor of Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church for about 10 years, sent a letter to parishioners saying God had been calling him to "journey down another path."
The pastor of a North Naples church has resigned from his parish and is leaving the priesthood after 21 years.
The Rev. John Ludden, pastor of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church for about 10 years, sent a letter to parishioners dated Sunday, Sept. 30, to say goodbye.
In the letter, Ludden, 47, said the bishop of the Diocese of Venice, which oversees Catholic churches in Collier and other Southwest Florida counties, granted him a medical leave of absence to address personal issues several weeks ago.
"During this leave, I have had much time to continue to reflect and pray about my own personal life and health," Ludden wrote in the letter. "It has become more evident to me during this time, and in fact during the past few years, that God is calling me to journey down another path."
He ultimately decided to withdraw from his religious appointments.
In a letter dated Thursday, Sept. 27, Bishop Frank Dewane, leader of the Diocese of Venice, told parishioners that while they may experience "surprise and disappointment," it is important they respect Ludden's decision.
"I share in the shock that this is for many," the bishop wrote in his letter. "Father Ludden was valuable counsel in his respective responsibilities and I know he was a good pastor for you in his commitment to the parish."
Ludden could not be reached for comment Monday. The church referred all questions to the diocese. The Diocese of Venice declined to comment further on Ludden's departure.
"As I move forward, I ask you to continue to pray for me," Ludden wrote in his letter. "I have been overwhelmed by the many cards and letters that I have received during this time. It is with gratitude that I look back on what has almost been 10 years at St. John the Evangelist."
The bishop's letter said the Rev. Thomas Zalewski, of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Bradenton, was appointed pastor at Saint John effective Oct. 8.
Zalewski previously served as a parochial vicar at St. Agnes Catholic Church in North Naples and St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Fort Myers, the letter states.

TMW Skynet's socially outgoing cousin?
Tmw nah, it's actually Maxine, the creator/CEO person of the social media, that takes over the world, but using the social media, so it's just easier to say the social media did it.
TMW the antagonist's name includes "Max."
Tmw I intentionally chose the name Maxine because of where it can be shortened down to Max.

What do you do when you realize you have everything you think you’ve ever wanted but still feel completely empty? What do you do when it all starts to fall apart? In the summer of 1999, Moby released Play—the album that arguably defined the millennium and catapulted him to superstardom. He joins us for a reflection on the bling and bluster of the celebrity lifestyle with the second volume of his memoir, Then It Fell Apart. Moby meets with KUOW’s Ross Reynolds for a conversation that dives into his extraordinary life story—hanging out with David Bowie and Lou Reed, Christina Ricci and Madonna, taking ecstasy for breakfast, drinking bottles of vodka, and sleeping with supermodels. Moby and Reynolds explore the ephemeral nature of stardom and the reasons such a lifestyle cannot last, why it fell apart. Sit in for firsthand recollections from a titan of modern music, and a shocking and unforgiving look at the banality of fame.
Moby is a singer-songwriter, musician, DJ, and photographer. He has released 15 studio albums, including Play, 18, and most recently Everything Was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt. The first volume of his memoirs, Porcelain, was published in 2016.
Ross Reynolds is the Executive Producer of Community Engagement at KUOW. He is the former co-host of KUOW’s daily news magazine The Record and KUOW’s award–winning daily news–talk program The Conversation.

Sandra Esparon and Mercenary were named best female and male artists Saturday night at the Cable Tunes Awards 2018.
The awards ceremony, held at the Berjaya Hotel on the northern side of the main island of Mahe, was a glamorous affair. It dazzled guests with a colourful display of lights and lively performances by the winning artists and other Seychellois singers accompanied by the ‘Relations’ band.
After receiving her award, Esparon told the press that she is very proud of herself and what she has achieved throughout 2018.
I thank all those people who have voted for me and the team who had worked with me on the album ‘Rekonesans’. The album has done pretty well and I am very happy, said Esparon.
Esparon, 29, made her debut in 2005 with hit single “San ou (La RiviAre)” as a member of Seychellois music band Dezil.
Her career has seen her release multiple albums and receive several awards both locally and internationally. In 2015, she won best artist of the Indian Ocean at the sixth edition of ‘Les Voix de l’Ocean Indien Award’.
Vincent Eliza, best known by his stage name Mercenary, is a singer with a number of local hit tracks. Mercenary ,who took up music professionally in 2006, grabbed the most trophies at the ceremony. On top of being named Seychelles’ best male artist, Mercenary won other accolades such as winner for Best Album, Best Video Clips, and Best Seller.
I am very happy to have won the award. It shows that people have appreciated my work and what I am doing in general as an artist, said Mercenary.
Adding a lot of people were saying that I will win the award, but I didn’t want to jump before my glass was full. Nevertheless, today I am here as the winner and I am very proud.
More work will come from Mercenary in 2019? Definitely yes. When you get encouragement of these sorts it pushes you to work harder and to come up with better tunes, he said.
Being introduced for the first time in a music studio by well-known local artist Jahrimba to collaborate in a song that featured on the ‘Raggablastaz’ album, Mercenary then joined a group called ‘Fraka Crew’. He then did some collaborations with several artists and launched his first album along with Jakim called ‘Red Gold and Green Soldiers’.
Other Seychellois artists who were recognized during the gala evening included Auspicious, who won Best New Artist. The award for Best Collaboration went to Yhoni and Veronique for their song Kin Arive (What Happened)? The pair also won Best Duo.
Joseph Sinon a well-known entertainer in Seychelles � a group of 115 islands in western Indian Ocean � loved for his sense of humour won the Best Performer award.

Beer sales slump by largest amount in 14 years. Guess where?
Britain is turning away from beer with 212 million fewer pints being sold in the last three months than the same period last year, new figures show.
According to the The British Beer & Pub Association 2 billion pints were consumed in April, May and June, a fall of 9.8pc on the same three months in 2010, a period that was boosted by World Cup fans stocking up on cans to drink at home while watching the games.
The 9.8 per cent fall is, however, the biggest quarterly fall seen in Britain since 1997, when the trade body started collecting detailed data and has hastened an already rapid decline in sales of beer, as it steadily falls from favour in many British households.
During the period, sales in supermarkets and shops fell 15 per cent and pub sales fell 4.5 per cent.
The trade body said it was worried that the Government had exacerbated the decline by taxing beer so much.
Brigid Simmonds, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association said: “Beer sales are a barometer of Britain’s economic confidence.
“The Royal Wedding gave a welcome boost to this quarter’s beer sales, but beer tax rises are now hitting our brewers hard and undermining recovery.
The total increase in beer duty since March 2008 stands at 35.4 per cent. The average pint of beer in a pub now costs £3.05, up from £2.41 in 2008.
Glad to hear…craft beer is gaining market share everywhere. YAY!

Hey, everyone! I don't know if the kids are back to school where you live, but around here, they will be headed back (for the most part) on Monday. I don't remember how I felt about the end of summer as a kid, other than I do remember that it meant a lot less time to buy packs of cards and trade with my buddies. Well, we aren't slowing down at the Circus. We have another pack to go and a lot more before the end of the baseball season!
Before I get going, though, I wanted to updated everyone: I am a draft (or two) behind. We will have a draft this coming weekend and I hope to do another double-draft next week. Managers, I will send this week's list on Monday evening.
Here we go with today's pack: 1996 Fleer Dodgers.
Man, I though we were going hit another Perfect Pack. Alas, it was not meant to be.* However, several of you snagged cards here, plus we get to add a few free agents to the upcoming draft pool - not shabby at all.
*My attempt at a nod to Mitch Hedberg.

Betel nut comes from the betel or areca palm which grows to about 3 to 5 m tall. The branches grow 3 to 4 m long and the betel nut grows at the base of the branches in clusters of 50 to 100.
Betel nut is carcinogenic and chewing it (usually with betel leaves) is known to cause mouth and throat cancer with prolonged use.
Betelnut require sunlight and moisture. Lack of sunlight will encourage the tree to grow tall and spindly and will take longer before flowering. Under normal native climatic conditions it should flower and fruit within 4 to 7 years.
Betelnut as with all palms require a well draining soil.

As reported by the Yonhap news agency on Thursday, a North Korean official Ri Son-Gwon informed that North Korean defector’s, who left North Korea for South, had given certain critical comments against the state which have further prompted North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un to issue such a warning.
