Captain Kirk enjoyed enormous success in April, not only coming up with clutch hits, but hitting at just about every other point in the game as well (.325/.386/.475). However, since then it's been a steady decline, as he went from hitting .268 in May all the way down to his current .105 average in the month of July. He's been looking a bit overmatched at the plate lately and with Jordany Valdespinproducing more offensively, Nieuwenhuis was the latest roster casualty. Obviously, we haven't heard the last of Kirk, as his .252/.315/.376 meant a lot more to the Mets than it looks on paper.
New York will be welcoming back Mike Baxter, who hasn't played in a Major League game since he smashed into the left field wall to preserve Johan Santana's no-hitter. The pride of Whitestone, NY was the best option for Terry Collins off the bench as a pinch hitter, but he was being inserted into the starting lineup more often than not before his injury thanks to his production (.323/.392/.523). His return brings another
player that hasn't experienced all of the recent losing that has been done since the Mets returned from the All-Star break. Hopefully, Baxter will be able to provide some youthful energy to help the Amazins get back to playing more consistent baseball.
Although his rehab assignment through three levels of minors leagues was much longer than expected (13 games and 49 ABs), New York is positive that he's swinging the bat well; Baxter tore up minor league pitching, hitting .327/.404/.408. With the struggles of Jason Bay getting worse, there have been rumblings that the left fielder has about a week left to show the front office and coaching staff that he can be a productive member of the lineup before action is taken. That action hasn't been specified yet, but Terry Collins has hinted at a platoon with Baxter, who's hitting .375/.438/.607 against right-handed pitching and hitless in nine at-bats against southpaws this season.
In talking about Bay's slump, Collins made the comparison to sitting Ike Davis while he was struggling at the beginning of the year; there is no way Bay will bust out while sitting on the bench, so he's going to continue playing for the time being, and hopefully start hitting. Although I do agree with this, Bay has shown absolutely no signs of coming to life. He did hit an encouraging home run against the Nationals on July 18th, but he wasn't able to build on that at-bat one bit, only collecting two singles since then.
Meanwhile, Lucas Duda and Kirk Nieuwenhuis both struggled mightily, but didn't get consistent playing time during their slumps, which they deserved more after what they did in the first half. Captain Kirk was only 24-for-his-last-122 since June 1st, but earned 38 at-bats in July, compared to 80+ in the first three months of the season. The front office is obviously trying to figure out if they can get anything out of Bay, and using the excuse that it's hard to get in a groove without getting at-bats, and Nieuwenhuis and Duda can agree with that.

It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily . . .
But who do you know who lives like that? Do you?
In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "succ ... more

Categories: Concept, Delhi Auto Show, Honda, Vision XS-1
Seems the Delhi Auto Show is the place where every car manufacturer wants to introduce to the world their new small crossover/suv concept. Honda doesn't want to be left out of the show and revealed the Vision XS-1. Another futuristic looking vehicle that at least has a distinctive feature.
Datsun also brings a concept to the Delhi Auto Show. It's the redi-GO
Categories: Concept, Datsun, Delhi Auto Show, Redi-GO
The first thing i asked myself was, what he hell is that? Then, i asked, how i will describe this car to everyone that reads this? After a few minutes i gave up and thought i will just write what Datsun said. To the good people who wrote the press release, this concept is a mix between a crossover, a hatchback and a SUV. Really?
Renault shows the KWID CONCEPT at the Delhi Auto Show
Categories: Concept, Delhi Auto Show, India, Kwid, Renault
The Delhi Auto Show isn't one of the big ones, but it is gaining importance due to the expansion of the Indian market. With that in mind brands are taking time and money to develop new and better looking concepts to be shown at these auto shows. another example is China that got many new cars and concepts.

Here's the production version of the Citroen C4 Cactus
Contrary to what Subaru did with the Legacy (see previous article), the production version of the Cactus C4 is almost identical to the concept that previewed it, which in this case isn't that good since this vehicle keeps the weird look. It also keeps the dubious two color scheme and the "futuristic" interior.
Leaked images of the 2015 Subaru Legacy appear online
Categories: Chicago Auto Show, Legacy, Subaru
It is good to be back! With the Chicago Auto Show scheduled to begin in four days (press day begins on February 6) a few leaks are starting to appear. One of the first is the new Subaru Legacy. From what we can see it is heavily inspired by the new Subaru WRX, i might even say it looks like a bigger version of the WRX.

 http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ass/article/view/39592 Identity Threat, Resistance to Chance and Entrepreneurial Behavioural Engagements: The Moderating Role of Entrepreneurial Passion 2014-08-19T02:50:49-07:00 Ahmed Jamil email@example.com Rozeyta Omar email@example.com Siti Aisyah Panatik firstname.lastname@example.com
This study validates the relationship between identity threat and entrepreneurial behavioural engagements through resistance to change with the moderating effect of entrepreneurial passion. The empirical results with utilizing SEM indicate that the identity threat is positively related to resistance to change, which further leads to performance goals. This study also validates that regulatory fit occurs under the identity threat condition, where performance avoidance goals are positively related to entrepreneurial behavioural engagements, and performance-approach goals induce a negative relationship with behavioural engagements. Furthermore, empirical data confirms that passion moderates the identity threat/resistance to change relationship, where harmonious passion dampens the relation and obsessive passion strengthens the positive relationship.

 2014-08-19T00:00:00-07:00 http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ass/article/view/39593 Entrepreneurial Passion, Achievement Motivation Goals and Behavioural Engagements in Malaysia: Are There Any Differences Across Ethnic Groups? 2014-08-19T02:50:49-07:00 Ahmed Jamil firstname.lastname@example.com Rozeyta Omar firstname.lastname@example.com Siti Aisyah Panatik email@example.com
This study was set out to investigate entrepreneurial passion, achievement motivation goals and behavioural engagement among Malaysian entrepreneurs. In addition, this empirical study was also intended to compare entrepreneurial passion with goal settings and behavioural engagement of Malay and Chinese Malaysians. From a sample of 305 entrepreneurs, the findings show there is a significant difference between the two ethnic groups in terms of passion, goals and need for creativity, ambition and daring. Malaysian Chinese were found to harbour higher harmonious passion than their counterparts, while both Malay and Chinese Malaysians share a moderate perception of obsessive passion. Furthermore, Chinese Malaysians perceive a strong relationship with the dimensions of mastery, performance and performance avoidance goals. On the other hand, Malay Malaysians have a high perception of mastery and performance goals but moderate perception of performance avoidance goals. The estimation coefficients also indicate that Malaysian entrepreneurs perceive strong relationships with their need for independence, ambition, daring and creativity.

Community participation issues in a destination may propel a community to fail in their relations, businesses and attachments. In addition, there is a bias toward participants rather than non-participants in previous studies and non-participants in tourism activities have been neglected, therefore this study aims to investigate the supporting behavior of those non-participants and tries to identify factors discourage local people to participate in Community-Based Tourism activities by using a qualitative local participation approach. The results indicate the existence of a wide range of factors including; relation with current participants; time and capital limitations; religious and cultural sensitivities; envious sensitivities and communication barriers effect local participation in community-based tourism and specifically Malaysia Homestay Program. 2014-08-20T00:00:00-07:00 http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ass/article/view/39650 An Examination of the Legal Nature of Cancellation of Contract by Mutual Consent: The Approach of Iranian Contract Law 2014-08-21T03:08:43-07:00 Mehdi Pirhaji firstname.lastname@example.com Mojtaba Nikdoosti email@example.com Mohammad Reza Eskandari- Pudeh email@example.com
A contract can be defined as 'an agreement between two or more parties, which is legally binding.' Sometimes, people regret concluding a contract, and give up continuing it and fulfilling their obligations. Where the cancellation of contract is with the mutual consent of the parties, it is called Ighale (cancellation of contract by mutual consent). Cancellation of contract by mutual consent literally means to release, but in legal terms, it means mutual consent to the dismissal of a contract and its effects. This is different from termination of contract. Cancellation of contract by mutual consent, as found in the Iranian Civil Code, has its roots in Islamic rules. It is generally a kind of contract in itself, the condition for the validity of which must be satisfied, otherwise, it may not be considered a valid one. The main pillars of cancellation of contract by mutual consent are the parties' consent and intention; the parties' capacity; the subject matter of the cancellation; and the means of showing will. Cancellation of contract by mutual consent (Ighale) is stipulated in the second clause of Article 264 of the Iranian Civil Code as a means for the discharge of obligation. The objective of this research is to examine the ambiguities associated with the concept of Ighale in Iranian Contract Law, and to suggest ways for eliminating such ambiguities in order to foster a better understanding of the concept. This is a library-based research, and the main method applied is analytic, although elements of a descriptive method are also visible.
 2014-08-20T00:00:00-07:00 http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ass/article/view/39651 The Impact of Leader's Cultural Intelligence on Organizational Commitment 2014-08-21T03:10:54-07:00 Roya Anvari email@example.com Sobia Irum email@example.com Muhammad Ashfaq email@example.com Dauda Mohammed Atiyaye firstname.lastname@example.com Previous studies have consistently shown that Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is an important skill in today's organizations. The literature on leadership suggests that CQ has the potential to increase both employee commitment and organizational outcomes. This study is a survey related to leadership style at organizations. The research attempts to investigate how leaders affect staff's Organizational Commitment (OC). We found that there is a significant relationship between leaders' CQ who operates with meta-cognitive, cognitive, motivational, and behavioral with OC. Moreover, the quality of leadership within an organization had an effect on the OC. 2014-08-20T00:00:00-07:00 http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ass/article/view/39652 Exploring Service and Support Needs in Postgraduate Education towards the Higher Education Quality 2014-08-21T03:12:27-07:00 Norhasni Zainal Abiddin firstname.lastname@example.com Affero Ismail firstname.lastname@example.com
Students' support is needed in postgraduate education embracing many service areas towards quality education. In achieving excellent graduates for national transformation reality, it needs to be addressed at all levels including departmental and institutional. It is vital to create suitable environment for students' studies to ensure the sustainable development and execution of outstanding research outcome. The paper identifies that one of the important factors in students' development is to create proper support and services. Thus, a qualitative analysis has been conducted to postgraduate student to discover the main concern of the support and services offered in a Malaysian public university. This study involved semi-structured interviews and the sample was self-selecting. The study disclosed the most important needs and deprived services that should be improved.
 2014-08-20T00:00:00-07:00 http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ass/article/view/39653 An integrated Approach for Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Sustainability 2014-08-21T03:14:03-07:00 Harshakumari Sarvaiya email@example.com Minyu Wu firstname.lastname@example.com Balance of power has shifted between the state, society and corporations, which gave birth to the concepts like corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate sustainability (CS). Due to the common grounds of CSR and CS, confusion has been created among academics as well as practitioners. This study seeks to identify the relationship between CSR and CS by providing a framework in order to get a better understanding of them. In addition to reviewing the extant literature, we provided empirical support through interviews of CSR or sustainability managers of large New Zealand companies. The key findings of this research revealed that when CSR and CS applications were based on systematic and full fledge focus, there was almost similar kind of initiatives and practices in NZ corporations. To develop an approach to integrating CSR and CS, we support the term, Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility (CS-R). We believe that CS-R help define and clarify the relationship between business and society without denying the great success that CSR has achieved in the academic research, management consulting and media. 2014-08-20T00:00:00-07:00 http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ass/article/view/39654 Varieties of Regionalism: Comparison of Europe and Southeast Asia 2014-08-21T03:15:36-07:00 Fujian Li email@example.com Jinsha Deng firstname.lastname@example.com
The comparative approach has not been widely used in regional studies so far. From the perspective of comparative regionalism, the formality of the European Union (EU) and the informality of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) represent two models of regional integration. The institutionalization and enlargement of ASEAN and the EU have distinctive regional characteristics. In Southeast Asia, regionalism is often a reaction to external challenges and threats, while European regional integration is more innate in nature. The distinctive dynamics are formulated in each region's power structure, institutional environment and cultural background. With a firm cultural identity, strong co-leadership, constructive US input and a formal institutionalization approach, 'proactive regionalism' in Europe has adequate endogenous force to move forwards. In contrast, the lack of a coherent ideology for regional integration, the power competition within the region, the destructive intervention of the US and a lower level of institutionalization means that greater exogenous pressure is necessary for Southeast Asia to develop its regional project, which could be termed 'reactive regionalism'.

Experience of Modern Russia 2014-08-21T03:16:49-07:00 Yana V. Gaivoronskaya firstname.lastname@example.com In this article the author is observing possible professional deformations of the personality of a lawyer. Some professional deformations can make a person unsuitable for his work. The author proves that talking about lawyers' professional deformations we should mostly speak about deformations of their legal mind. But observing the problem of low-leveled legal mind from the other hand, we can say that such legal mind can prevent some types of professional deformations as well. 2014-08-20T00:00:00-07:00 http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ass/article/view/39656 Conditions and Problems in the Promotion of Youth's Behaviors in Accordance with the Islamic Way of Life by Muslim Leaders of Ban Sarong, Khao Tum Sub-district, Yarang District, Pattani Province 2014-08-21T03:20:59-07:00 Kasetchai Laeheem email@example.com Dolmananch Baka email@example.com Hasbullah Tahe firstname.lastname@example.com Sasuree Walee email@example.com The purpose of this research was to investigate conditions and problems in promoting youth's behaviors in accordance with the Islamic way of life by Muslim leaders of Ban Sarong, Khao Tum Sub-district, Yarang District, Pattani Province. The data were collected through a knowledge management discussion forum with 10 religious leaders, 10 local leaders, 10 core youth leaders, and 10 parents and guardians. Content analysis was conducted using logical comparisons of concepts, theories, and research reports coupled with contexts. The research findings revealed that Muslim leaders realized, gave importance to, and were determined to promote youth's behaviors in accordance with the Islamic way of life; however, they still lacked knowledge, understanding, skills and experience in promoting youth to have behaviors in accordance with the Islamic way of life. Moreover, it was found that Muslim leaders lacked social relationships with youth while youth did not give importance to, did not realize, and did not pay attention to activities that were to promote behaviors according to the Muslim way of life organized for them by Muslim leaders. As a result, the promotion of behaviors in accordance with the Islamic way of life was not yet successful. 2014-08-20T00:00:00-07:00 http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ass/article/view/39657 The Impact of Intellectual Capital on Firm Financial Performance by Moderating of Dynamic Capability 2014-08-21T03:22:20-07:00 Majid Dadashinasab firstname.lastname@example.com Saudah Sofian email@example.com
The purpose of this study is to investigate empirically the effect of intellectual capital (IC) on high IC firm financial performance with moderating role of dynamic capability (DC). The period covered is from 2000 to 2011. Secondary data were collected from financial statements of high IC firms of Malaysia (technology sector, consumer products sector, trading and service sector, and industrial products) obtained from their websites. Regression models were developed to test the relationship among firm financial performance and IC. The analysis findings indicate that, the impact of IC on firm financial performance increases when DC is included as moderator. In addition, there is positive and significant relationship between humane capital efficiency (HCE), structural capital efficiency (SCE), and capital employed efficiency (CEE) with firm financial performance.

Oil palm plantations are decisively situated in the various regions of Malaysia where the climatic conditions are appropriate for planting oil palm. One cannot compare the work environment of such plantations with normal office settings. The workers in those plantations are working in remote locations, totally cut off from the other part of the world. Majority workers are from Indonesia, Philippines like low income countries. The work environment is physically demanding and challenging to the workers due to many factors. An exploratory study has conducted on employee disengagement in the oil palm plantations in the Sabah region of Malaysia. The study has taken up employee disengagement factors due to the lack of interest among the local people to engage themselves in the oil palm plantations work and the plantation industry in Malaysia is facing an acute labor shortage to carry forwards the oil palm business. The study follows, field visits, interviews with the workers, focus group discussions and specifically Delphi. The findings supported to identify the 7 factors coming under the theme employee disengagement as Wage and Welfare, Work Environment, Lack of Safety and security, Poor Organizational Support, Rigid Rules and regulations, and Lack of individual motivation. The study paves better insight to lead this qualitative research in an organized quantitative research.

Halal industry is a vast industry that consists of several sectors; ranging from food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, services (i.e. transportation and logistics) and, banking and finance. All these various sectors in the actual state of practices are currently positioned separately. This paper expands the proposal of integrating halal industries with the Islamic funds. Principally, these sectors should not be deemed separately as they are under the same umbrella of Shariah. The collaboration of the industry can lead to harmonious system that can support each other. In this case, the Islamic financial system through Islamic banking and capital market instruments will channel their long term funding to other Halal industry. As the start, it is important to look at the current practices of authority bodies in the sectors of Halal industry (except for Islamic banking and finance) and Islamic capital market. This outlook is prioritized given that the authority bodies will influence the behavior of the players. This paper focuses on Halal industry in Malaysia. Specifically, the main selected documents of the related authority bodies in this industry were assessed to grasp their approaches regarding Shariah compliance approval or Halal recognition. This will contribute to an initiative that can integrate this industry from the policy makers and supervisors' perspective. Finding shows that there are different angles of Halal aspects focused by these authority bodies, and there is a room for adjustment towards integration.

Over the past decade, different studies have been conducted in order to create or redesign services by using the systematic innovation method known as TRIZ – the theory of inventive problem solving. TRIZ has a range of powerful tools to solve problems and the most widely tool used to identify and solve contradictions in the system are the 40 inventive principles (IPs). Only a few studies have grouped the 40 IPs in terms of service context to overcome the problem of consuming time and effort while the designer endeavors to find the best principle(s) that may help to solve a service problem. This study enhanced and refined the previous grouping of the 40 IPs under five service redesign approaches (SRA): self-service, direct service, pre-service, bundled service and physical service. The methodology used to group these principles was by mapping between the principles hints, which have been developed to interpret the TRIZ principles in service context, and each characteristic of the SRA. A comparison between TRIZ contradiction matrix and proposed grouping for a problem case study has been conducted, and it has demonstrated and verified the feasibility of grouping of the 40 principles according to the SRA.

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of Shariah Supervisory Board Effectiveness (SSBE) and Intellectual Capital (IC) on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) among 36 Islamic banks in Gulf Cooperation Council Countries (GCC) over the period of 2007-2011. Additionally, this study was aimed to identify the significance of financial performance (ROA, ROE) as mediator in the relationship between Shariah Supervisory Board Effectiveness (SSBE), Intellectual Capital (IC) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). For the purpose of data analysis and hypotheses testing, several statistical methods such as multiple regression analysis were utilized to understand the variables. The results of this study reported that SSBE, Capital Employee Efficiency (CEE) and Structure Capital Efficiency (SCE) of Islamic banks positively influenced CSR. However, Human Capital Efficiency (HCE) did not influence CSR. The results of hierarchical multiple regression indicate that financial performance (ROA, ROE) was found to be a significant mediating factor for the relationship between SSBE, CEE, and SCE, and CSR in Islamic banks. The relationship between SSBE, IC, financial performance (ROA, ROE) and CSR suggested that it may be beneficial to the management of Islamic banks to increase CSR as discussed. Limitations and recommendations for future research were also highlighted.

Semiotics is the science of signs. It is known as an approach to expose the fundamental structural elements of the meaning of an object or a term. It comprises of the study of signs, designation, indication, analogy, likeness, symbolism, signification, metaphor, and communication. Semiotic and land art are closely associated with each other. Land art consists of sculptures, carvings, and performances located at specific natural surroundings to deliver messages of love and concern for the environment, even though they are ephemeral or located in inaccessible places they are transmitted by the semioticians. Like all works of art, each piece could be classified as abstract or realistic and would be created using signs and symbols of the artist's semiotic system to code the messages and feelings. The aim of this article is to examine the semiotics of land art based on signs and symbols of landscape through documentary analysis. The findings of the study revealed that semiotics is a powerful tool to reflect feelings and sentiments regarding different landscape. Some implications were also furnished.

Shihab is an Islamic scholar who have prolifically produced a comprehensive 30 chapters of Qur'anic exegesis entitled Tafsir Al-Mishbah. This book is perceived as the latest Qur'anic exegesis produced by Muslim scholar of the Archipelago. He stresses on the importance of understanding the Qur'an contextually, supported by a strong understanding of the language and not focusing only on the textual meaning. In relation to this, his work has used a lot of linguistics approaches as to obtain the actual verses exegeses. Therefore, this study seeks to analyse critically his linguistics exegesis, and the focus rests on the debate on pronouns. To obtain a expliciter perspective, this study has adopted the library research and document analysis method by making language and reliable popular Qur'anic exegesis books as primary sources of reference. The outcome of this study finds that Shihab had applied five rules in relation to pronouns, all of which have been approved by scholars and exegetes.

The paper tries to develop an empirical model of service quality in terms of electricity services that may form a basis for a better understanding of its determinants. Specifically, it's aimed to identify the dimensions of service quality of electricity services provided by the Ceylon Electricity Board located in Badulla District. The study employs exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and the service quality dimensions are identified using it as an independence technique. Data were collected by a structured questionnaire that consists of two sections as Part A and B. A total of 300 usable responses (n =300) were obtained through simple random sampling technique. The model consists of five dimensions such as tangibility, empathy, responsiveness, reliability, and assurance that have been detected by exploratory factor analysis. Further, results revealed that dimensions extracted from the analysis accounted for 62.899 percent of the total variance. While the study limits to the electricity services provided by the public sector organization based in Badulla district, the findings introduce the dimensions of service quality for electricity services, which may be a base for other scholars.

A multi-stage sampling technique is employed to select 600 households of 12 districts in the rural Pattani province and a structured questionnaire is used for data collection. Evidences from descriptive analysis show that the type of risks faced by households in rural Pattani province are job loss, reduction of salary, household member died, household members who work have accident, marital problem and infection of crops/livestock. In addition, result from the regression analysis suggests that job loss, household member died and marital problem have significant negative effects on the households' income. The result suggests that job loss has adverse impact on households' income. The implication of this is that the living standard of household will continue to deteriorate as large proportion of them could either not find job or lost their jobs. Therefore, an important policy suggestion is that government should formulate a policy that considers the creation of employment especially for the poor households with low-income particularly in the rural area. Also, government should provide an appropriate social security benefits program on which the affected population can rely on in case of problem such as sickness/accident/death of the household members. Concerning the marital problem in the households, an important implication to the policy maker is to formulate a policy or design strategy development principles of holistic family. 2014-08-20T00:00:00-07:00 http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ass/article/view/39668 Adjective + Noun Collocational Competence of L1 Thai Learners: A Comparative Study of a Regular Program and an English Program 2014-08-21T03:44:37-07:00 Paitoon Suwitchanphan email@example.com Supakorn Phoocharoensil firstname.lastname@example.com
The main purpose of the current research was to determine how Thai EFL students studying in the regular and English programs use adjective + noun collocations. The second purpose was to find out the relationship between school curricula and collocational competence of adjective + noun in three tests. The participants were 30 regular program students and another 30 English program students from a private secondary school in Bangkok, Thailand. The data collection instruments included the Gap-Filling Test (Test 1), the Collocation Selection Test (Test 2), and the Descriptive Written Task (Test 3). The main findings have shown that, in Test 1, the regular program participants (69.33%) scored higher than the English program participants (57.67%). According to the findings from Test 2, there was no significant difference between the curricula and the Collocation Selection Test. For Test 3, the regular program participants used more adjective + noun collocations (279 tokens) than did the English program ones (211 tokens). The pedagogical implications were also proposed to enhance learners' collocational competence, especially adjective + noun collocations.

In traditional Malay literature, women were often portrayed as individuals who were mentally, physically and spiritually weak. They were incapable of surviving on their own and could only hope to receive help and assistance from the main characters comprising men. In addition, the female characters in the genres of traditional Malay literature were 'silenced' by their authors when faced with certain situations without being given the opportunity to come forward to defend themselves let alone their rights. Their 'silence' was also related to their passivity in dealing with life. Thus, this paper will identify the female characters in several selected genres and analyse their level of passivity according to Bardwick's psychological perspective. The results of this study show that the 'silence' of traditional women marked their ingenuity in handling pressure from the Malay patriarchal society. The 'passivity' of this group was also meant to be a form of indirect aggression over their inability to establish their rights openly in society. This paper shows that the 'silence' of the women in traditional Malay literature does not mean they gave in willingly to every act committed against them, but it was also a 'subtle' resistance to the suppression by the patriarchal system as practised in the Malay community.

The study examined the influence of psychopathy and cultic disposition on attitudes toward violence among students of tertiary institutions in Ekiti State, Nigeria. One hundred and fifty six participants completed self- report instruments comprising of the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale, Revised Attitudes toward Violence Scale and Disposition toward Cultism Questionnaire. The research participants were selected using the convenience sampling method. Responses from the survey research were analyzed using multiple regression and correlational analyses. Result of the study showed that both manifestations of psychopathy and disposition towards cultism independently and jointly predict attitudes toward violence. No significant relationship was found between psychopathy and cultic disposition. Results were discussed in line with previous literature and it was recommended that counselors and psychotherapists in tertiary institution settings should conduct holistic assessments of incoming and current students to diagnose for dispositions toward cultism and psychopathic traits so as to prevent occurrence of violent acts in the various academic communities of the country.

This paper examined the acquisition of English non-restrictive relative clauses (NRCs) by L1 Thai learners, focusing on avoidance strategies applied in the learners' interlanguage. The theoretical frameworks of the Noun Phrase Accessibility Hierarchy (NPAH) and the Perceptual Difficulty Hypothesis (PDH) were the main hypotheses predicting avoidance behavior employed by the learners. The research participants were 80 Thai EFL high school students of high and low proficiency levels. The data were elicited through a sentence combination task and a Thai-English translation task. The findings, overall, suggested that Thai EFL learners, by and large, avoided using the more marked NRC types in the NPAH. The learners' avoidance was evident in the tasks from the shifting of more marked types to less marked ones. The findings also showed that the more advanced learners tended to employ more avoidance behavior with regard to the NPAH, which may be attributed to their greater exposure to the L2 rules and more knowledge of the differences between the L1 and L2 structures; this resulted in the use of alternative ways to complete the given tasks more easily. The center-embedded NRCs, more precisely, were found to be problematic for learners, which supports the prediction of the PDH that clauses embedded after the subject positions may interrupt the processing of a complex structure of RCs. The learners, therefore, avoided center embedding and changed it to right embedding with little awareness of the ungrammaticality of the NRC sentences.

The article discusses the middle class impact on social and economic development of the society. It considers the modern middle class structure and functions both in social and economic fields of society life. Based on the data of international financial institutions, it analyzes the amount of middle class in the regions with the comparison of economic development of the country to discover the correlation between factors mentioned above. We have established that middle class impact on social and economic development of any country is huge and appeared in a number of factors. In addition, some of them have a direct influence on society development (economic indicators, standards of living, level of wages, etc.) while others have relative impact (middle class expenditures). In whole, middle class impact on social and economic development of the society in a country proceeds by stabilizing function of middle class, which is reached by implementation of little functional effects. Some of them have only economic influence, others have social impact. However, despite of the fact that they are applied separately, their close relationship forms the major indicators of middle class impact on socio-economic development of the society.

The aim of this work is to reveal psychological indices for the monitoring of education environment according to the students' social-psychological safety criterion and to specify their interrelation. The article presents theoretical and methodological bases of the monitoring of students' social-psychological safety criterion in a higher educational establishment. The article presents the review of approaches to the definition of key features of education environment including psychosocial well-being, informational security, non-violent interaction, social ecology. Basing on the analysis of theoretic and methodological material, we defined personal qualities of students, which determine the character of interaction of educational subjects and their psychosocial well-being. These indices are as follows: communication skills, social tolerance, and creativity. Social tolerance is defined as sincere respect and acknowledgement of the other person, active moral position and psychological readiness to the positive interaction in the society and education environment. Communication skills as an index of social-psychological safety include the ability to person-oriented trustful interaction, kindness, skills of business democratic communication, ability to keep emotional well-being, ability to work out strategy, tactics and technique of active interaction with people. Creativity if defined by the student's ability to self-actualize, to learn his/her own abilities and skills, self-fulfilment while creating social-psychological environment of his/her own life. Psychosocial well-being in the whole is characterized by the state of education environment which is free of expression of physical and mental violence. The conducted investigation allowed us to reveal positive correlation connections between the level of subjective well-being and formedness of personal qualities which define the social-psychological safety of education environment.

From QuickTime's "File" menu, select "Export." From the "Format" drop-down menu, select "iPad, iPhone 4 and Apple TV." Click "Export," and your video file is iPad-ready.
To get the videos onto your iPad, drag your video files into iPhoto. Next, open iTunes. Now, navigate to your iPad within iTunes, then click on the "Photos" tab at the top of the iTunes window. From here, check "Sync Photos from iPhoto," and importantly, "include videos." Now all of your videos will appear in your iPad's Photo library.
Once you have your videos synced to your device, you can view all the files in your iPad's library by opening Photos. This is where Echograph looks when importing a video clip.
Now, from Echograph's "Create" section, just tap "choose from library," and you're ready to use the amazing footage you just shot.
Coming soon in Echograph 1.02 – "Open In…" integration, which will allow you to open supported video files directly into Echograph's Trim Mode.

Good Day New York is meeting the mayoral candidates one more time before the primary next Tuesday.
Republican Joe Lhota is the son of a New York City police lieutenant, was a deputy mayor under Rudy Giuliani, and served as MTA chairman for about a year
"Next Wednesday morning begins the big game. The reason I am running for mayor you'll see my experience as deputy mayor and why Cuomo selected me to run the MTA. But I'm also a person of New York City, my father and brother were NYC cops. My grandfather was a fireman and my other grandfather was a cab driver," said Lhota.

|Associate Athletic Director/Compliance and Student Services
|Ninth Year at SCU
With sixteen years of experience in intercollegiate athletics as a student-athlete, graduate assistant, coach, and administrator, Jeff Mitchell enters his eighth year at Santa Clara as a member of the athletic director's senior executive staff. Initially hired as the department's Director of Compliance in October 2006, he has twice been promoted and currently serves as an Associate Athletic Director. Mitchell serves as the sport supervisor for the Broncos' men's basketball, baseball, and women's volleyball programs, and he oversees the University's legal affairs office for athletics including NCAA compliance and institutional control matters.
Mitchell also supervises the athletic department's academic support and student services staff, and he serves as a voting member of the Academics, Legislation, and Compliance Cabinet of the West Coast Conference. During the 2010-2011 academic year, Mitchell helped guide the University through a successful NCAA re-certification process. In his role as a sport supervisor, Mitchell is the primary administrator for the men's basketball, baseball, and women's volleyball programs. The Broncos men's basketball team captured the 2013 College Basketball Invitational postseason title and the 2011 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. The program has won at least 24 games in two of the last three seasons.
In keeping with the educational mission of the University, Mitchell oversees a successful internship program in partnership with the Santa Clara Law School in which University law students earn class credit for working in a legally-related field. In the program's five year existence, Mitchell has helped three interns upon graduation earn positions in athletics administration at three different universities.
A native Mississippian, Mitchell is a 2001 graduate of Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi, where he was a four-year member of the Millsaps baseball team and a four year member of the athletic department's sports information staff. After graduation, Mitchell was hired as the College's Director of Sports Information, acting as the primary media contact for fourteen intercollegiate athletic teams. In addition to his duties as SID, Mitchell served as an assistant coach for the 2002-2003 Millsaps baseball team, which advanced to the NCAA Division III South Regional Tournament.
Mitchell also earned an MBA from the Millsaps College Else School of Management in May of 2003. Mitchell's career in athletic administration was nurtured while he was in law school at the University of Mississippi, from which he earned a Juris Doctorate in December of 2005. While at Ole Miss, Mitchell served as a graduate assistant in the external relations unit, allowing him the opportunity to learn about the operations of a Division I athletic department. In this capacity, Mitchell primarily worked with the Ole Miss football and men's basketball programs.
Mitchell is a member of the Mississippi Bar Association and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. An award-winning writer, Mitchell is a former member of the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. He writes a column published quarterly in SCU's Bronco Sports Magazine and has been a reference for the LA Times on NCAA compliance issues. Among other media recognitions, he was featured in Marta Lawrence's article "The Medium is in the Message" in the Winter 2011 issue of NCAA Champion Magazine, and he was interviewed for Laura Ulrich's article "Ready or Not" published in the April/May 2010 issue of Athletic Management Magazine.
Recognized as a polished speaker, Mitchell has been a guest lecturer on the NCAA and intercollegiate athletics for the Sports Law class at Santa Clara School of Law and has been a panelist at multiple Sports Law forums. He has been the guest speaker at the annual Bronco Bench Foundation Endowment dinners, and he frequently speaks on NCAA recruiting at Bay Area high schools. On campus, he is a member of the University Staff Affairs Committee and is a sought after master of ceremonies for University fundraising events.
As an accomplished public address announcer for 16 years, Mitchell has announced Division I baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and volleyball in the SEC, PAC-12, and/or WCC, Division III football and basketball in the SCAC, and Division III NCAA Tournament basketball. He currently announces Santa Clara's men's basketball games.
Mitchell resides in San Jose, CA, with his wife, April. They have one daughter, Harper Wynne, age four, and one son, Carson, born on June 28, 2013.

Shifting emotionsPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
Many wise and wonderful things have been written about emotion in music, and many more foolish and trivial things. Most of what can be said falls into the shallow side, so I've always tried to say as little as possible. But there's one aspect of the topic I've seen precious little written about, so allow me to venture out on the brink – and if I fall, let's just hope part of me falls into the deep end.
One can insist that isolated passages of music sound happy or sad, and others may agree or disagree. What interests me more are the passages that ease us from one emotion to another – passages in which the emotional tone seems to shift from light to dark, or vice versa. Sometimes these shifts are brief, ephemeral; sometimes they carry us off to another realm for keeps. Either way, their potency lies in their direct appeal to our understanding of the relativity of all emotion. "Happy" and "Sad" don't exist without comparison to one another, and to other states as well. Music that carries us from one state to another – however near, however distant – reinforces our awareness of these interdependencies.
So however I may shy away from definitive descriptions of emotional content in music, I think it's important to acknowledge the moments when emotional relativity is pulled into the foreground – regardless of what labels we may fix to the departure and arrival points.

The limits of air strikes in Iraq
Robert Scales, a retired Army major general and former commandant of the U.S. Army War College, argues that an air campaign against ISIS is destined to fail. At first, it will probably set ISIS back, but before long the fighters will adapt. They will make targets more difficult to locate from the air and hide them (and themselves) in populated areas. Scales concludes: As the enemy grows more skilled, we »
Hagel sends 130 advisers to deal with "the most brutal, barbaric forces we've ever seen"
In his address to Marines in San Diego, Chuck Hagel described the threat posed by ISIS this way: The Iraqi people, the government of Iraq, country of Iraq is now under threat from some of the most brutal, barbaric forces we've ever seen in the world today, and a force, [ISIS], and others that is an ideology that's connected to an army and it's a force and a dimension that »
"The world is exploding" but Chuck Hagel is on the case
Chuck Hagel addressed a group of Marines in San Diego yesterday and afterwards tried to answer questions. One Marine asked: My question is that, given that the administration's primary focus is on the Pacific theater, how has all of the issues popping up in the world today, Russia, Iraq, Africa, the rest of the theaters pretty much affected that current mission? And how do you foresee that affecting the mission »
Ms. Hillary retreats
David Axelrod fired back at Ms. Hillary on Twitter today — fired back in response to her interview with the Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg — operating as always on behalf of his lord and master. (Paul wrote about the interview here.) Just to clarify: "Don't do stupid stuff" means stuff like occupying Iraq in the first place, which was a tragically bad decision. — David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) August 12, 2014 Axelrod's »
Obama brings his brand of "identity politics" to the Middle East
After months of ignoring the rise of ISIS in Iraq, and years of ignoring it in Syria, President Obama was finally moved to take limited action against the Islamist barbarians when they trapped the Yazidis on a mountain in Northern Iraq. I applaud the decision and feel pride in America for having saved (it appears) many members of this sect. But what was magic about the Yazidis? As Seth Mandel »
'Twas a famous ending
Those of us of a certain age recall that Jimmy Carter began his term in office as president declaring that we had overcome our inordinate fear of Communism. As William Buckley probably pointed out at the time, Carter never did explain what the "ordinate" fear of Commmunism was or would have been. Rather, he was, as a certain critical biography of Carter points out, declaring an end to the Cold »
Hard-line Hillary: where is it coming from?
Jeffrey Goldberg reports on his remarkable interview with Hillary Clinton. The report and accompanying transcript make the former Secretary of State sound like a neo-conservative, at least in the loose sense in which the term is tossed about. First, Clinton takes President Obama to task for not intervening against ISIS in Syria. "The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of »
Obama's pathetic excuse for not acting in Iraq
Why did President Obama stand by while ISIS conquered much of Iraq? The reason seems straightforward: he doesn't believe in using force unless it's part of an international effort. Obama has offered a different explanation, though. He says he's been unwilling to intervene because "there's no American military solution to the larger crisis in Iraq." "The only lasting solution," he adds, "is reconciliation among Iraqi communities and stronger Iraqi security »
Just a lie before he goes
Taking a few questions following a statement on the dire situation in Iraq that President Obama gave on the White House lawn as he departed for his Martha's Vineyard vacation (White House transcript here, White House video here), President Obama availed himself of the any port in a storm tactic that has helped him so much along his way. The reporter asking the last question Obama deigned to field wondered »
Obama's map of misreading: A comment
I asked the person who is perhaps the most worldly wise man I know if he would comment on Obama's interview with Obama apostle Tom Friedman as related yesterday in the Times article "Obama on the world." Noting the stupidity of Obama's comments to Friedman, and Obama's incessant yammering, I asked my acquaintance what he made of the whole production. He responded with the following comment, which I thought readers »
They're Not the Jayvees Anymore…
In January, Barack Obama infamously referred to ISIS as a bunch of "jayvees." During White House spokesman Josh Earnest's briefing yesterday, Jim Acosta of CNN indulged in a bit of snark: Let me ask you about something [the president] said back in January when he told the New Yorker when assessing the ISIS threat, he said that, "the analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is »
Arm the Kurds!
ISIS has routed Kurdish forces in their early engagements, mostly because they are better armed. The Associated Press notes: In a bitter irony, the extremists used American armored vehicles and weapons they had seized from the hapless Iraqi military to defeat Kurdish fighters who were blocked from acquiring just such equipment…. Yes, it's true. The Obama administration has for years been denying the Kurds' requests to BUY American munitions: For »
Obama's map of misreading
It's not unusual for Obama to regale us with his deep thoughts. He does it all the time. Not for him the adage (I think it's Mark Twain's) that "it's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt." No, Obama speaks on matters great and small with "the calm confidence of a Christian with four aces" (Twain again). Obama called in one »
ISIS Rampant, America In Decline [with comment by Paul]
ISIS poses a threat to today's liberal world-view analogous to the threat posed by national socialism in the 1930s. But ISIS makes the Nazis look like pikers. ISIS, flying the black flag of Islam, murders, rapes and pillages with breathtaking speed and efficiency. In a few short months, ISIS has taken over much of Iraq, as this map from the Daily Mail illustrates: ISIS succeeds mostly because it is incredibly »
Another "Mission Accomplished" Moment For Barack Obama
I will have more to say about what is happening in Iraq, perhaps yet this evening. But first, let's note that the disaster that is now unfolding is the direct result of Barack Obama's decision to withdraw all American troops in 2011. When has such a catastrophically bad decision been cloaked in so much self-righteousness? Obama ran for president as the anti-Iraq war candidate, and his determination to terminate our »
President Does Right Thing, But Still Has No Clue
I applaud President Obama's decision to send humanitarian relief and order air strikes against ISIS in Iraq. The strikes are being described as "limited," and I am afraid they will turn out to be what John Kerry had in mind when he promised "unbelievably small" military action in Syria. But it's better than nothing. President Obama's announcement of the actions last night, however, reflects how little he has learned in »
President Obama finally moves against the "jayvee," sort of
In an interview with the New Yorker's David Remnick in January, President Obama dismissed ISIS as the "jayvee": The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant. Yesterday, with much of Iraq now in the jayvee's hands, Obama finally recognized it as enough of a threat to warrant the authorization of U.S. »

MacArthur Fellows / Meet the Class of 2010
Jason Moran
Jazz Pianist and Composer
New York, NY
Age: 35
Published January 25, 2010
Jason Moran is a pianist, composer, and bandleader who mines a variety of musical styles to create adventurous, genre-crossing jazz performances. Moran's signature corpus marries established classical, blues, and jazz techniques with the musical influences of his generation, including funk, hip-hop, and rock. On his solo piano album, Modernistic (2002), he explores the evolution of twentieth-century rhythmic techniques through his virtuosic execution of two-handed "stride" piano—a style used extensively by jazz artists in the 1920s—while Same Mother (2005) is a re-examination of the emotional and stylistic elements of the blues tradition. In original compositions for his ensemble, The Bandwagon, Moran uses the human voice as a starting point for melodic structure, translating speech patterns into a musical language through which the listener can reflect on the underlying connections between speech and music. More recently, Moran has collaborated with visual and performing artists and incorporated new technology in imaginative multimedia performances. His 2008 homage to Thelonious Monk, In My Mind: Monk at Town Hall, 1959, weaves together crafted and found audio and visual archival material and a reharmonization of the original big band arrangements, illustrating both Monk's contribution to the history of jazz as well as the enduring power of the musical form. Through reinterpretation of jazz standards and new compositions of his own, Moran is expanding the boundaries of jazz expression and playing a dynamic role in its evolution in the twenty-first century.
Jason Moran received a B.M. (1997) from the Manhattan School of Music. His additional recordings as a leader include Soundtrack to Human Motion (1999), The Bandwagon: Live at the Village Vanguard (2003), Artist in Residence (2006), and TEN (2010), among others. He joined the faculty of the New England Conservatory in 2010.

COD student, Emily Gregory, turns heads
on the volleyball court not only for her outstanding play, but because she is a
volleyball star with only one hand. She was born with a congenital condition in
which her left arm appears amputated at the elbow.
Coach Marion Champion has this to say, "Emily is a
pleasure to coach. I don't treat her any differently than I do any other player
on our team. She just does what the other women do, but with only one arm. I've
never seen her give-up or complain. She just continues to give it her all every
single day. What more could a coach want?"
