How did you use your education to help or change the society? You did, didn't you?
A kindergarten teacher has as much power to change the society for the better as a pioneer in politics. The ability to change the world roots from education and inspiration. Did you change the world yet, even if its by the tiniest bit? So how do you think an education helps?
Mar 10 2013: I have changed. Will that count?
Mar 10 2013: For the better? :D How have you changed?
Mar 10 2013: Honestly speaking my education did not give me much opportunity to change or help the society. After completing my engineering graduation I got a good enough job but for over three decades I remained part of a monolithic system that create atrocities in the name of development. I had family to care for and the job was paying.
However, I used my education, which is nothing more than a particular skill, to survive and prosper in common sense of meaning and reasonably free to learn a lesson from the world around me. I can now see authenticity as different from authority, learning as distinct from knowledge and substance as unique from content.
I am still in the process of giving up sugar before telling diabetics to quit it. I think I have become harmless.
Mar 11 2013: The fact that you have used the word 'harmless' to me is very thought-provoking. I guess a society is really toxicated if its individuals say that being harmless is the most significant contribution to their services. And I would kind of agree with you, coming from the society such as yourself. Although you are older and much wiser than me, would I be wrong in sensing a air of passivity in your tone?. In our part of the world, instead of we moulding the society, don't you think the society moulds us?Mar 11 2013: Dear Parikshit, I can only admit my old age (I am 51) but not wisdom. :)
I won't say you are wrong to sense passivity because I am certainly no activist. I am more mindful about my mistakes, and I can assure there were many, than my achievements. I try to convey to people what I learnt from those and advise them, if asked, ways and means how they can avoid making those mistakes.
I have a modest website where you can read my rants (more than 30,000 times these have been read). I am a member of European Journalism Center where I have written modestly too (a collective 40,000 reads here too). If you have heard about Business Insider, you can find my article there too.
That apart, I am pretty ordinary to take the society in my hand and change it substantially.

Mar 10 2013: I majored in economics. I came up with some ideas that have been used (e.g., Gross National Happiness measure of success of a nation's economic system used in Tibet) and did research, analysis and writing that has been used by others. Now I am encouraging the implementation of a 3-day/24-hour work week to reflect worker productivity, improve quality of life, dissolve some social ills. I would also like to see a $30-per-hour minimum wage so people can live in dignity, health and have time to live in accordance with their own good values. I have written and had published Letters-to-the Editor and Op-Ed pieces on related issues such as paying creative people the fair value of their output while they are still alive (think van Gogh, Mozart and infinite other impoverished artists who died prematurely while sellers of their work reaped the value of their work.) I think an education helps when it allows for individual creativity to occur and individual thinking, rather than mimicking professors and the past. Those who studied history seem to repeat the mistakes. Education should not be used to brainwash children in the erroneous ways of their ancestors. Power to the positive.

Mar 11 2013: I was looking into the 'Gross National Happiness measure of success of a nation's economic system', and it really seems to be a great idea. This reminds me of a scene from Sherlock Holmes, where Holmes makes various deductions from a victim's watch; however he fails to make the most rudimentary of all the deduction from the watch, which Watson points out: The time. A whole society plays a huge role in the economy, It is a shame that economics does delve so much more into numbers than the most major element of a stable society: happiness/satisfaction. I hope I did not sound too ignorant!
Mar 12 2013: Thank you, Parik. Whenever you express your true thoughts and feelings, I appreciate it. As we know, there are many factors that cause happiness. I was thinking that the quantity of smiles-per-day on the faces of children is one indicator of the success of a society.Mar 11 2013: When you first learn art-you start with a pad & pencil. The different areas of the pencil & what each area can do on a piece of paper. This leads to various types of lead for pencils and how to create the different strokes, shadings, etc.
Letting a student explore, on their own, the various uses of just a pencil can lead to a wide range of exciting pictures that a student creates. At this point, they have no training in perspective, dimensions, etc., they are just having fun. But you would be amazed at what they create. Most of the art does look primal but it also has depth & shading.
I am not going to go into the mind aspect of this (not qualified), but to look through a child or adults eyes and see what they see, is truly amazing.Mar 11 2013: the society is comprised by many individuals.every individual is connected,then every individual can be contagious all over the world.Mar 10 2013: As an artist, I have had many students who are challenged in various ways. To open a child or adult's mind to art, in its various forms, opens the mind to many other things. The beauty within as well as out.
Mar 11 2013: No doubt about it! Art therapy is gaining prominence all over the world these days. Since you are an artist, can I ask, according to you, why do you think opening ones mind to art opens the mind to other things? What is it about art in its various forms, that helps someone? Do you think its a primal instinct or does it have a more complex answer to it?Mar 10 2013: I try, at least. I don't speak in past terms, but at present. I think it's a job for all along the life. The way I (try to) do it is fighting for a wider, better and cheaper education and culture for everybody. I'm firmly convinced that education and culture is pure freedom. Those who don't like freedom for people, they don't promote a better education fon everybody.
Mar 11 2013: Its funny how you say education and culture are pure freedom.Don't you think that the latter in some places may act to limit the former whereas in other places the former may act to change the latter?
Mar 11 2013: Maybe, of course. The two situations are pretty possible.Mar 10 2013: My education throughout my life has been an enormous asset to me, which I have used every day in countless ways. I was fortunate to be very open to experience from an early age and thus to be able to learn from school and outside of school experiences, not having a disposition to shut anything of that out.
My adult life has been all about using that education and what I have made of it as well as giving by who I am.
Mar 10 2013: That is nice to hear. I did not quite get what you meant when you said "what I have made of it as well as giving by who I am." Instead of asking how you used the education, I would love to see from your point of upbringing, what is the basics to helping to change the society?
Mar 10 2013: Here is what I meant. I feel that what I know and any gifts or talents I may have are for sharing or putting to a broader benefit. Anything I learn, I turn around to ask how my understanding can benefit others.
I am from a family of hard-working immigrants of extremely modest means. My parents were high school graduates who valued education for their children at the local public schools. I don't remember hearing a message at home about the importance of service in particular, but it never occured to me, I think, not to try to use what I understood or had for broader good.
I suspect that, like openness to experience, which is definitely a personality trait, the sense of connection and therefore of needing to share is as well.Mar 10 2013: Yes,my education helping me growing up everyday.my education accompanies me to carry on learning as well as eating everyday.
Mar 10 2013: Thats great to hear! But how are you trying to change the society by applying the education you have received?
Mar 11 2013: I changed myself to change the society.
Gail .
Mar 10 2013: My formal education helped me make a comfortable living. My informal education (where I unlearned so much of that which I had learned) is helping me change my world for the better - if only in a tiny way. Education is my greatest joy, but formal education was my greatest obstacle to learning how to live a satisfying life. My formal education was formalized, legalized abuse that had its own dire consequences.
- 0
Mar 10 2013: Interesting. When you look back would you in any way say your formal education was kind of a waste of time? Because I am sure a comfortable living could be attained by a lot of jobs not requiring much education. I myself have been educated at a school. However with new influences such as books and people like yourself, I am beginning to ask whether donating my time to so much formal education is really a selfish or a charitable thing to do, for both me and the society.Mar 10 2013: I think you are already assuming the answer. Not all teachers always are positive influences on their students. Being a ta in Grad School, a JC instructor, and a substitue teacher - I really question about the contribution one can make to those not interested in learning. Maybe that's only a problem in so called Rich Countries. INTJ's do not value boring people. However, sometime in TED conversations or the Huffington Post even I will find others value what I wrote. I have certainly learned a great deal from others in Grad Student bull sessions, the Lawyers Lounge at the courthouse, reading TED conversations and comments in the Huffington Post. I learned a great deal from another TEDster in a conversation I started on the Keystone Pipeline. He taught me a great deal. I believe that it is due to his curiousity, intelligence, and superior news coverage, and more serious politicians in Canada.
Mar 10 2013: Well put, sir. I would agree with you regarding the ' contribution one can make to those not interested in learning', but then again learning does not have to be limited to the parameters of a classroom as your rightly pointed out. As from your conclusion I understand that only people who are willing and curious will be able to change, and not others. But don't you think that is the precise reason of an education: To find a way, by applying ones knowledge, to get uninterested people interested?
Mar 10 2013: no,good education can advocate ourselves to live a happy life.And I think happiness is contagious.

Tests and reviews for the lens Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm F2.8 ASPH OIS
Measurements and specifications
Further readings for the Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm F2.8 ASPH OIS
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 is the new flagship model in the range and features a newly-designed pro-grade body and a modified 16-Mpix sensor incorporating on-chip phase-detection pixels for backwards compatibility with the firm's 4:3 lenses.
While we've not analyze the performance of those earlier lenses on the E-M1, we have assessed the image quality of 33 models (more than 70% of the current range) using the native MFT mount.
Read onto find out which of those lenses perform best when paired with the camera.
Introduced at Photokina in September 2012 alongside three other Micro Four Thirds lenses, the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f2.8 Macro lens helps Olympus make good on its promise to deliver a full range of dedicated lenses and accessories for its PEN and O-MD lines of compact mirror-less interchangeable lens cameras.
Designed with compactness in mind, micro 4/3 lenses go for the smallest size possible most of the time. But to achieve these dimensions, they sometimes have to compromise on image quality. In this review, we cover a wide range of standard lenses, both prime and zoom, and show that not all lenses are equal in terms of the trade-off between compactness and image quality.
Today we complete our testing of micro 4/3 lenses with the Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm F2.8 ASPH OIS, a very compact macro lens.

Is socialism the best option for Latin American countries?
Socialism is good for lowering poverty rates? I think economic models do not give the expected results when carried to an extreme.
Ken brown
Sep 13 2013: We must evolve past our inherent nature, then we will stop gravitating towards a central system that at first may seem fair but in the end it gets taken advantage of by individuals.
- +1
Uruguay seems to have a good system.Sep 13 2013: No, I don't think so. The only way to reduce poverty is trough education, poor countries are poor not because the economic model the have, they are poor because they have very few or no scientist, they are poor because there is a scarcity of engineers, they are poor because there are not enough technicians. Give every adult a college education and you will have a rich country almost instantly. So if you want to fight poverty, then fight the educational model, not the economic model otherwise you will do more harm than good.
Sep 13 2013: I agree with you Amadeus, education is the only way out. But in a country where leaders have no governing priorities within education, that can be done? Change them?
Sep 13 2013: I admire your comments and thoughts and earnestness. The best advice I've received thus far in life is 'stop feeling sorry for yourself.'
Do not look to government to save you. They have little interest in saving you. Only in keeping you Uneducated. Do not look to Business to save you. They have little interest in saving you. Only in keeping you Dependent.
Accepting what 'IS THE REALITY" does NOT mean there is NO action taken. Acceptance of what IS allows for different directions,,,,,,different actions......different paths of evolution.
It is the MEEK that inherit the Earth. But they must be Awake to inherit it.
Get rid of SHOULDS AND SHOULD-NOTS. Then change occurs. Get rid of old beliefs. Old models. They drag you down.Sep 13 2013: Very Friendly Lejan, we will be in touch.Sep 13 2013: Socialism has not and will not work because of one underlying trait in the human spirit, survival. Socialists seem to have had this trait bread out of their DNA and will accept anyone that would help them without any effort on their part. They learn to late that working for a common cause simply means toiling for one master or another and receiving a fraction of the reward for your efforts. For the most part socialists are life's losers, blaming all their deficiencies on someone else and for the most part those that do acquire wealth usually do so through inheritance not hard work and common sense. Have you ever wondered why so many of them work for the government? From one teat to another for an existence, certainly not a life.Sep 13 2013: Socialism has never worked, and economic freedom, liberty, and education have always worked.
Corruption is the main problem in Latin American countries, and all political systems are prone to that. But with Socialism there is no check and balance to keep it under control.
Economic freedom, liberty, and education are the best weapons against corruption and crime.
To give equal opportunity for all in the world, an international online education system need to be done. So a kid in Latin American can take the same classes as a kid in North America, Middle East, or Europe.
Sep 13 2013: Don Anderson, I agree with you, la education and the liberty are the principal option. In our countries is so difficult because the politics dont want help to all poors, but you hace the reason, 100% for you.Sep 13 2013: Hello Krisztian, many people today think that the socilismo is the solution to poverty, mainly in Latin America, I think that the lack of fair capitalist leaders?Sep 13 2013: Hello Pat, you think Socialism is the best opcion por the present?
Sep 13 2013: Hector, if you use the red 'Reply' function on someones comment, it will trigger an e-mail notification to them, so that they know you answered. Otherwise they will find your answer only if they return to this conversation by choice, which may not always be the case.
Sep 13 2013: Thanks you, I will take it, I'm new here and I'm learning diferents forms of work and transmit a lot stuff and ideas. Thanks you again.
Sep 13 2013: You are welcome and I am looking forward to your ideas you are willing to share here.Sep 13 2013: Socialism is not for masses that Perceive themselves as sole-and-separate INDIVIDUALS. It requires selfLESSness. We do not have that. We are not ants. Ants do it quite nicely. A different intelligence arises from Selflessness....it does not need governing.
Sep 13 2013: If that was true, why do some countries still have 'medicare' programs, in which the strong are willing to support the 'weak'?
Sep 13 2013: Those are programs. Not countries.
Sep 13 2013: You stated 'We do not have that.' Aren't countries a collective of 'we'?Sep 13 2013: marx died over a hundred years ago. the virus he created is still at large, and stronger than ever.
Sep 13 2013: Marx was a critic of capitalism and I leave it to your imagination why this criticism has become stronger than ever in 2013...
To give you a hint, recent 'proof of concept' of a given system may be part of it ...
And just for once, try not to blame 'governments' while reflecting about it ... use 'Canada' instead to satisfy this Pavlov's reflex instead ... :o)
Sep 13 2013: so the rationale would be something like: since X does not work, we better choose Y, which failed already, but tortured half the world for half a century before it did. i would suggest a little more insight.
Sep 13 2013: By simple minds this could probably be seen that way, as well as the rationale: Since Y failed already for half of the world, we stick to the remaining X, which doesn't work either, and get the whole world tortured ...
What's the insight you were suggesting?Sep 13 2013: insight is something you don't get out of a forum post. but for start, it worth having a look at the criticism of any theory without we are choosing it. the second advice would be to actually understand the criticism in addition to having a look. how about that?
Sep 13 2013: I wasn't expecting to find insight here nor asking for advice. I was simply asking for your 'insight' on the given subject, which seems to have deepened a 'little more' than a not closer specified 'average'. May not have become clear enough, I would agree.Sep 13 2013: so you did not expect to find insight here, but you wanted me to write my insight here? or you want the serial number or name of the insight? i'm seriously out of ideas. but one way to start is to follow up on what ludwig von mises had to say about socialism, and i recommend not reading his work, but some modern commentary/explanation of it.
Sep 13 2013: Honestly, I did not expect a meaningful reply from you, Krisztián, I just gave it another try...Sep 13 2013: Socialism is just a word. Exporting American corporate socialism might not work anyplace else as well as it's not working here.Sep 13 2013: Socialism is NOT the best choice for ANY country.
Willy nilly socialism borrows from the future to pay for a better standard of living now.
Take a look at this index that shows what works.
Notice that the U S will not be in the top 10 soon, indicating howw greater and greater socialism is working for the U S
Sep 13 2013: That probably explains, why the biggest creditor of the USA is the 'willy nilly' Peoples republic of China, as dept got nothing to do with 'borrowing from the future to pay for a better standard of living now.' ...
Oh, I forgot, it was the US government, not the system it is influenced by ...Sep 13 2013: The Heritage Foundation
'Our mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.'
Reading this, they must have been at the forefront of the Occupy Wallstreet Movement. If they weren't, no further questions ... :o)
How are those organizations called again... think tanks, spindoctors ...?Sep 13 2013: Can we do something from outside?Sep 12 2013: The union of two economic models might work?

For the real Grassmannian Gr$(N,k)$ we have the well-known isomorphism $$ \text{Gr}(N,k) = O(N)/(O(k) \times O(N-k)) $$ For the complex case, we have $$ \text{Gr}(N,k) = U(N)/(U(k) \times U(N-k)) $$ I would like to know if anything like this holds in the finite field setting, ie can the finite field Grassmannians be described as a homogeneous space of an algebraic group over a finite field, or something like this?

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of developing a disease or condition. It is certainly possible to develop CVD without risk factors, but having risk factors makes it more likely. Some risk factors for cardiovascular disease are not modifiable, but many are. Being aware of your risk factors and taking steps to reduce them can slow or even arrest the progression of cardiovascular disease at multiple points:
- Before the atherosclerosis sets in
- Before atherosclerosis leads to a cardiovascular event, such as a heart attack
- After the first, but before any subsequent cardiovascular events
Non-modifiable risk factors are those that you cannot change. It is still a good idea to be aware of these factors, however, to get a sense of your risk.
- Age —For men, age 45 or older; for women, age 55 or older.
- Race —African Americans have a greater incidence of hypertension than Caucasians, and therefore a higher risk of developing CVD. Others at increased risk include Mexican Americans, Native Americans, native Hawaiians, and some Asian Americans.
- Family History —First-degree relative (father, mother, sister, brother) with premature heart disease (males younger than 55, females younger than 65).
- Gender —Men tend to suffer cardiovascular events sooner than women. After menopause, however, cardiovascular risk in women quickly catches up to that in men.
Modifiable risk factors can be reduced or eliminated through lifestyle changes, medical treatment, or a combination of the two. Many of these risk factors are interrelated, and attending to one can often have beneficial effects on others.
- Smoking —Smokers are twice as likely to have a heart attack as nonsmokers. Cigarette smoking is also the biggest risk factor for sudden cardiac death. Even nonsmokers can increase their risk of heart disease if they are constantly exposed to cigarette smoke.
- High blood cholesterol — High total and LDL cholesterol levels and low HDL cholesterol levels increase the risk of atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and stroke. In general, a total cholesterol level less than 200 mg/dL (5.2 mmol/L) , an LDL cholesterol level less than 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L), and an HDL cholesterol level greater than 60 mg/dL (1.6 mmol/L) are considered desirable.
- High blood pressure (hypertension) — High blood pressure accelerates the progression of atherosclerosis and increases the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and congestive heart failure. Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure equal to or above 140/90 mmHg. However, individuals with blood pressure in the high-normal range (around 130/85 mmHg) are at increased risk of becoming hypertensive and should take steps to lower their blood pressure.
- Physical inactivity —A sedentary lifestyle increases risk for coronary heart disease, while regular physical activity can prevent it. Exercise also helps control other CVD risk factors, including high LDL-cholesterol, low HDL-cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure.
- Obesity and overweight— Excess body fat, particularly in the abdominal region, is associated with an increased risk for heart disease and stroke. Surplus weight puts additional strain on your heart, and raises blood pressure, blood cholesterol and the risk of type 2 diabetes.
- Type 2 Diabetesand prediabetes —Type 2 diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. About two-thirds of people with diabetes die of some type of heart or blood vessel disease. Glucose intolerance prior to the onset of type 2 diabetes can also place you at increased risk.
- Excess alcohol —Drinking too much alcohol can raise your blood pressure, cause heart failure, and lead to stroke. It can contribute to high triglycerides (fats in the blood) and obesity, and may predispose to arrhythmias.
- Stress —Although it remains unclear exactly how much psychological stress contributes to the development of CVD, if you have already been diagnosed with a cardiovascular condition, you could benefit from stress management.
Emerging risk factors—
The association of these risk factors with CVD is less well established, but many authorities believe they will become clinically important in the near future.
- C-reactive protein —C-reactive protein is a marker of inflammation. High levels of the protein have been associated with increased risk of heart disease and stroke, even when total and LDL-cholesterol levels are low. It is not yet known how to reduce C-reactive proteins.
- Homocysteine —Homocysteine is an amino acid (building block of protein) that appears to contribute to atherosclerosis and blood clotting. High levels of homocysteine have been linked to increased risk of heart disease. Folic acid in the diet is effective at reducing homocysteine levels.
The purpose of screening for cardiovascular disease is to detect it and treat it prior to the onset of symptoms. Screening involves the medical history, physical examination, and certain tests designed to assess both your risk for CVD and any evidence that already exists.
- Medical History —You physician will ask you questions about current and previous illnesses, past surgeries and hospitalizations, medications, diet and other lifestyle factors, social history, and family history in order to gauge your CVD risk.
Physical Exam
—Your doctor may assess the following:
- Body Mass Index — BMI is a measurement of body mass that takes into account both height and weight.
- Fat Distribution — This is usually measured as a waist-to-hip ratio. Carrying more fat around your abdomen and upper body (an "apple" shape) puts you at greater risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Blood Pressure Measurement
—Blood pressure is measured using a cuff around your arm and a device called a sphygmomanometer. Blood pressure has a tendency to fluctuate and needs to be measured several times before a diagnosis of hypertension can be made.
Blood Pressure Measurement© 2011 Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Blood Tests
—For the following tests, blood may be drawn in your doctor's office or in a laboratory. The blood is then sent to the laboratory for analysis, and you should receive the results within one week.
- Lipid Profile — A complete lipid profile will measure the levels of total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides in your blood.
- Blood Sugar/Glycohemoglobin (HBA1C) —These tests are used to both screen for diabetes and monitor the progress of diabetes treatment.
- Exercise Tolerance or Stress Test — Using an electrocardiogram (ECG) to measure the heart's electrical activity at rest provides limited information about the oxygen supply to the heart. A stress test, therefore, is often used to evaluate the presence and severity of cardiovascular disorders as the heart responds to the additional demand for oxygen during physical activity.

Niki Lauda says Sebastian Vettel will continue to win titles even if he leaves Red Bull for another team...
Niki Lauda says Sebastian Vettel will continue to win titles even if he leaves Red Bull for another team.
Last Sunday the German wrapped up his third successive Drivers' Championship, beating Fernando Alonso to the 2012 crown by just three points.
Vettel has a contract with Red Bull Racing for the next two seasons, however, he has been linked to a move to Ferrari in the future.
And should the German swap teams, whether that be Ferrari or another, Lauda believes the 25-year-old has the ability to win titles with a rival outfit.
"He will eventually move somewhere else," Lauda, who won two Championships with Ferrari and one with McLaren, told CNN.
"It's normal. Any skier changes his skis every year - so you have to change your cars at least once in your history.
"I changed my racing cars three or four times in my career and still kept on winning. He will do something like this for sure as well."
He added: "Vettel is the top guy, [Lewis] Hamilton is the top guy, Alonso is the top guy, Schumacher is a top guy too.
"You need a car, and you need a driver. Vettel is for sure as good as Alonso is - but you need a better car."

Women's tennis concludes Florida swing with 4-2 victory over Florida Atlantic
Sunday, March 06, 2011
BOCA RATON, Fla. (Mar. 6, 2011) - The ETSU women's tennis team concluded their three-match Florida swing with a 4-2 victory over Florida Atlantic, Sunday afternoon at the Patch Reef Tennis Center. The two teams only played singles due to projected rain in the area.
"I was very proud of the way the girls responded on the scoreboard from everything that was thrown at them today by Florida Atlantic," said ETSU Assistant Coach Travis Sandlant. "We must in the future learn from the day's experience to make us mentally stronger for the future."
The Bucs started quickly out of the gates, winning the first three matches of the day thanks to the bottom part of the lineup. Freshman Giulia Andreazza (Balneario Camboriu, Brazil) started the day with a quick 6-1, 6-1 victory over Natasha Phillips, to earn her first victory in dual match play. Just a few minutes later, sophomore Diana Navrostska (Lviv, Ukraine) rolled past Erika Mrazkova at the No. 5 position, 6-1, 6-2. It looked as if ETSU would have no problems when junior Karina Kedzo (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) defeated Cassie Bergeson, 6-2, 6-2, at the No. 4 position to make it an early 3-0 for the Bucs.
However, Florida Atlantic battled back to win the next two matches at the No. 3 and No. 2 positions to trail by just one with only one match remaining.
The final match in progress was at the No. 1 position as ETSU senior Kelly Holtzhausen (Johannesburg, South Africa) was battling Justine Humair. It did not look good early for Holtzhausen as she dropped the first set, but she battled back to win a tough second and force the deciding third set. Holtzhausen then rode the momentum she gained from the second set victory to win the third, to clinch the victory for the Bucs. Holtzhausen defeated Humair, 2-6, 7-6 (5), 6-3.
"It was an awesome job by Kelly to clinch the win as she dug deep today and stayed focused the whole match," added Sandlant. "I hope she continues today's attitude for the rest of the year."
After eight straight matches on the road, the Bucs finally return home this Friday and Saturday for A-Sun matches against Belmont and Lipscomb. The Bucs face Belmont on Friday at 2:30 p.m. and Lipscomb on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Ryan Budget
Opinion: Biden Must Box In Ryan In The VP Debate And Hold Him Accountable For Mitt Flops
First, try to make Paul Ryan look inexperienced and un-Presidential and, two, hold the Romney/Ryan ticket accountable for their ever changing policies and focus on Mitt Romney as someone that cannot be trusted.
Opinion: Obama's Path To Debate Victory
Obama has many challenges to winning tonight's debate, but having Mitt Romney as his opponent gives him a path to victory.
Opinion: Ryan VP Pick Changes Electoral Math
Paul Ryan has changed the Electoral College math. With the pick, Romney has chosen a path that writes off almost all of the country and focuses the election on the industrial Midwest.
Opinion: Romney Tries To Reboot Losing Campaign With Ryan Pick
After months of failing to find a way to gain ground in the presidential campaign, Mitt Romney has hit the reset button by picking Paul Ryan as his running mate, but once the dust has settled and the Conventions are over, it is hard to see how Romney will have changed the direction of the 2012 presidential campaign.
Opinion: Mitt Romney's Excellent Choice: Paul Ryan
Romney wisely went with a safe and sure bet because Paul Ryan is a strong, conservative-approved candidate whose image is as clean as Romney's.

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as the best Urology hospital in the nation for 2015-2016 by U.S. News & World Report.
Cystoscopy (sis-TOS-kuh-pee) is a procedure used to see inside your urinary bladder and urethra — the tube that carries urine from your bladder to the outside of your body. During a cystoscopy procedure, your doctor uses a hollow tube (cystoscope) equipped with a lens to carefully examine the lining of your bladder and your urethra. The cystoscope is inserted into your urethra and slowly advanced into your bladder.
Your doctor may perform the cystoscopy in a testing room, using a local anesthetic jelly to numb your urethra. Or your doctor may perform cystoscopy as an outpatient procedure, using sedation. Another option is to do the cystoscopy in the hospital while under general anesthesia. The type of cystoscopy you'll have depends on the reason for your procedure.

Superintendent of Public Instruction Janet Barresi reads to first-graders at Cesar Chavez Elementary School in the Oklahoma City School District and helps pass out backpacks filled with books, school supplies, food and personal care items provided by Feed The Children.
High school principals soon will be presenting ACT scores for their schools along with college remediation rates to their local school boards.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Janet Barresi said this year's scores show the continued need for all Oklahoma students to take four years of core subjects.
"The results are very clear that if you take four years in these core subjects, whether or not you plan to go on to college, it is the best training for your future career," Barresi said.
While Oklahoma continues to have a high percentage of students taking the ACT, the state's average composite score has flatlined. And State Superintendent Janet Barresi on Wednesday said she is concerned that too many students are not prepared for college, particularly in the areas of science and math.
"We must redouble our efforts to make more students capable in math and science," said Barresi, who took office in January as the first new State Superintendent in 20 years. "And we must ensure that students take a full and rigorous course load while in high school."
The 2010 ACT college-entrance exam scores for each public Oklahoma high school were presented to the State Board of Education today during its regular monthly meeting. The scores, posted at www.ok.gov/sde, include both composite scores and subscores in the ACT-tested areas of English, reading (social sciences), mathematics and science.
State Superintendent Sandy Garrett said today more Oklahoma high school seniors are taking the ACT than ever in state history; among 2010 graduates, the ACT was taken by 28,343 students, which is 1,289 or 4.8 percent more than the year before. And, higher expectations of students – clear in the ACE high school course requirements effective with the Class of 2010 – are "making a difference in the number of students being prepared for, and expressing an interest in, a college education."
The average ACT college-entrance exam score for Oklahoma and the nation remained unchanged for 2009 from 2008. Although Oklahoma posted gains in math and science in 2009, its average composite score remains 20.7; the nation's average score is still 21.1. During the last five years, Oklahoma has improved its composite score by 0.3; the nation's has improved by 0.2. The ACT is graded on a scale from 0-36.
ACT, Inc. today released to the Oklahoma State Department of Education 2008 ACT scores for every high school in the state. The information (see attached) includes each high school's average composite score on the college-entrance exam as well as their subscores in English, reading, mathematics and science.
State Superintendent Sandy Garrett and State Higher Education Chancellor Glen D. Johnson announced today the average ACT composite score in Oklahoma has risen from 20.5 to 20.7 – the state's third consecutive increase on the college entrance exam. Oklahoma's increase on the ACT outpaced the gains the nation made on the exam in 2007.
In 2006, the average ACT composite score in Oklahoma was 20.5; it was 20.4 in 2005. The nation's average composite score on the ACT was 21.2 for 2007.

Overview Reviews Details Articles & Videos by Dave Bar Add some punch to your tunes Smart phones and portable music players are pretty amazing devices, but sometimes the sound quality of their headphone outputs can leave you a little flat. That's because cost constraints and power consumption issues usually rule out the use of high-performance headphone circuitry. That's where the NuForce Icon Mobile comes in. Small enough to take almost anywhere, it connects between your music player's headphone jack and your headphones to restore the punch and clarity your tunes deserve. This potent little headphone amplifier's rechargeable battery supplies the power you need to pump out bigger, bolder sound. You'll immediately hear greater bass extension and low-frequency impact, along with more dynamic, detailed sound. Outstanding sound from your PC, too The NuForce Icon Mobile can also give your computer's audio performance a shot in the arm. Just plug it into a USB output on your PC and it automatically installs itself in seconds, bypassing the sound card inside your computer a noisy environment prone to producing poor sound quality. From there the Mobile decodes your music files through its own high-quality, digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Your tunes will be output as fantastic-sounding analog audio signals ready for playback through your headphones, or even a pair of amplified desktop speakers. If you've never heard your digital music played through a high-quality DAC, you're in for a big treat. Every instrument and vocal stands out clearly and distinctly in its own separate space, allowing you to easily follow each one note-for-note. And you'll feel immersed in sound, with a greater sense of ambient space around you. Product Highlights:built-in USB DAC supports 44.1kHz and 48kHz native sampling rateshigh-performance headphone amplifier (12 ohm to 300 ohm headphone impedance recommended)tiny, pocket-sized design for great portabilitybuilt-in, rechargeable lithium ion battery with charging through USB connection (2.5 hour charge-time provides 13 hours of continuous playback with maximum power)external line-level input (3.5mm stereo minijack) for connection to portable music playertwo headphone/line-level outputs:3-pin stereo minijack (3.5mm) for driving standard headphones and line-level sources such as powered desktop speakers4-pin stereo minijack (3.5mm) for headphones with in-line microphoneboth outputs can be used simultaneouslyrotary analog volume controlgain select switch provides compatibility for a wide range of headphones and earphones8" minijack cable (3.5mm stereo minijacks on both ends)20" USB (Type-A to mini Type-B) cable included2-3/16"W x 3-1/2"H x 9/16"Dwarranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guarantee Why buy a headphone amp? High-performance headphones need high-quality amplification to perform up to their full potential. If you connect them directly to the headphone jack on your computer, iPod®, or stereo receiver, you may be disappointed. A separate headphone amplifier sends a stronger, cleaner signal to your headphones.

The ICON MOBILE is a great DAC and headphone amp. I use it on my Acer Laptop via USB connection thereby bypassing the laptops converter in favor of the NuForce's Dac. I have a set of BeatsT by Dr. DreT Tour in ear headphones and they perform very well with this dac. For the price its an affordable upgrade to your computer, or Ipod...Good Buy Was this review helpful? Yes No Better Sound Overall Written By MrFranc, Guaynabo, PR on Monday, May 02, 2011 Overall sound much better from the iPod Classic and iPhone. More detailed bass and mid range at lower volume. I also use it with my netbook and the difference is night and day. The only thing missing is support for 96/24 like the uDAC2 that i use for my desktop. But then again maybe I'm asking too much for a portable. Was this review helpful? Yes No If you like quality sound, you NEED this!! Written By Richard, Cottonwood, AZ on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have iPod nano 2nd gen. and just got a 3rd gen iPod touch and they both sound much better thru the DAC. The hum and sometime buzz is gone and overall sound is better, better highs, better mid-range and better bass. If you have an ipod, get yourself a line out dock cable to by-pass the ipods amp and dac and go right into the Icon Mobile. The out-put sound has a much more life like sound and quality. Was this review helpful? Yes No Improvement, albeit subtle Written By Myles, Denver, PA on Sunday, November 14, 2010 I purchased this for a 3 uses, listed below 1-3 based on importance. 1. Headphone amp for my Ipod 2. DAC for my New computer (replacement for a creative sound card) 3. DAC for my old, old, old computer with no sound card. I used my Ipod constantly on the go with a pair of Shure SE420 earbuds, so I finally decided that I would go for a portable headphone amp to drive my earbuds cleaner than the built-in Ipod amp ever could. Upon first trying this amp, I didn't quite know what to expect, and it was somewhat hard to hear an improvement. However, upon listening for a little while, I began to notice some things that were bviously different. The subtle bass guitar grooves in alot of my music started to show through more. Also, entries and precussive hits seemed a bit more defined. As for the midranges and trebles though, I would have to say that I found only very slight improvements in those ranges. On the computers, when using the USB DAC, I found that it improved clairty and definition greatly. Overall, Ipod: Improvements in bass definition and impact Computer (w/ sound card): Very slight improvement in definition Computer (w/o sound card): Huge improvement in clarity I would recommend this amp, however... given the choice between this and a better pair of headphones or earbuds, I believe there would be greater improvement with the latter. 8 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Ramen Sanshiro - Late night secret (kinda) ramen spot
has anyone been to Ramen Sanshiro? apparently every night from 11pm till close, Seo Japanese turns into a ramen restaurant serving two kinds of ramen: salt or soy sauce. the idea sounds interesting, would love to hear some reviews.
249 E 49th St, New York, NY 10017
I went there in July and it was not great great, but fairly good. Their 'Mini Charsiu Don (braised pork rice bowl)' was well balanced between pork fat and meat. 'Jidori Shio Yaki (grilled chicken) was savoury, and 'Shio Ramen (salt-flavoured ramen)' had nicely clean taste. I was glad to find a decent ramen place that remains open till late. They accept cash only.
re: kosmose7
comparison to other ramen spots in the city? what's your best?
re: ssl5b
Ramen Sanshiro's shio ramen had fairly good soup base, decent charsiu, and pretty firm noodle texture, but it was not amazing. For me, Shanshiro's beauty is that it is open till very late unlike other ramen houses in town.
Although in a different category of ramen, I like Hide-Chan Ramen, which is Hakata style. I like their kuromayu ramen, which is basically tonkotsu ramen topped with black garlic oil. Yummy~! Ippudo is another favorite of mine, but I always have to wait in line. For me, these two are better than Misoya, Menchanko-Tei, Men Kuitei, or Sapporo.
re: kosmose7
ah interesting been meaning to try this place for a long time

A re-branding of Justin Bieber?
The 're-branding' of Justin Bieber has apparently begun, though not without incident.
Bieber spent the end of 2013 rolling out brand new music, including the songs "Heartbreaker," "All That Matters," "Hold Tight," "Recovery," "Bad Day," "All Bad," "PYD," Roller Coaster," "Change Me," and "Confident." All 10 tracks later appeared on a collection called "Journals," which added five additional unreleased songs and a music video for "All That Matters."
It turns out that 2014 was rather uneventful for Bieber, who seemingly decided to lay low in the wake of continued legal troubles. Billboard magazine, for one, believed he was looking to pull off a crowd-pleasing redemption story. And by the end of the year, Bieber and his longtime manager Scooter Braun had begun to tease his next album. "My break is for a reason. U will see soon. Thank you for your patience," Bieber posted on Instagram. Braun also declared in a separate post, "2013 was Practice. 2014 was The Warm Up. 2015 is Game Time."
It seems the Beliebers are definitely anxious for Justin's next musical endeavors, and it appears they won't have to wait long. H confirmed in V magazine's Music Issue that he is working on a new album and a tour for 2015. The magazine even quoted him as saying, "I took the last year off and I'm excited to get back to work."
Work apparently includes a Calvin Klein ad campaign that has generated controversy after a photo claiming to be an unretouched shot was posted online. Bieber's camp later threatened a lawsuit over the Photoshop allegations.
Bieber's Bad Boy Image Complete?
It's safe to say that 2014 is off to a no good, very bad start for Justin Bieber. The 19-year-old was allegedly under the influence of alcohol, pot and Xanax when police stopped him for drag racing in Miami Beach in late January.
Bieber's speech was mumbled, his pupils dilated, his face flushed and eyes bloodshot, according to police reports. And that was just the start of his troubles. A week later, the Biebs was arrested again, this time after turning himself in to Toronto police to face assault charges. He's accused of clashing with a limousine driver on December 29, 2013, and was said to have struck the driver on the back of the head several times.
The prospect of a third criminal arrest for Bieber hangs on a pending decision by a Los Angeles prosecutor after the star was alleged to have egged his neighbors' home. The neighbor accused Bieber of tossing eggs over a fence and onto the mansion next door on January 9, 2014, causing an estimated $20,000 in damage. In response, a dozen LA County Sheriff's deputies raided Bieber's home in Calabasas, California, taking the security system as evidence.
Bieber recently took a break from his misadventures to release the new music video to his single "Confident" with Chance The Rapper. He was also spotted partying in the NY/NJ area during the Super Bowl, after his plane was held at Teterboro Airport and searched for marijuana.
Justin Bieber's Breakdown? (Updated April 3, 2013)
Justin Bieber's 2013 started out strong, with The Believe Tour at full throttle, a performance on The Ellen Degeneres Show to announce an acoustic album, and a stint as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live on February 9.
Then the Biebs appeared to hit a wall.
On March 7, 2013 Bieber fainted backstage at London's O2 Arena after complaining of breathing problems throughout his performance and was taken to a hospital. Five days later, a concert in Lisbon, Portugal at the Pavilhao Atlantico was reportedly canceled due to low ticket sales. And that was far from the beginning of a string of incidents which had the media salivating over the 'rise and fall' of the once squeaky clean pop star.
Yes, there were run-ins with the paparazzi. There was the time Bieber sensationally admitted to "having a beer" despite being underage. There was a reported incident on a plane where he was admonished by passengers due to his use of curse words. And yes, there were also multiple stops of the Biebs by the California Highway Patrol, and a tragic incident where a photographer was struck and killed in LA while chasing Bieber's famous white Ferrari (he was not behind the wheel).
Can the Biebs bounce back? Only time will tell, but for now he's fully engaged and continuing on with his tour. It won't wrap until August 10, with the final show scheduled at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Special guests thus far has included Usher, Jaden Smith, Drake, Big Sean and Ludacris.
An Overnight Sensation
If you're looking for an artist who has fully harnessed the power of the Internet, look no farther than Justin Bieber. Discovered via YouTube in 2008 by talent manager Scott 'Scooter' Braun, the Canadian singer-songwriter immediately shed the image of overnight sensation at the age of 13. As quick as his spontaneous dance moves, Bieber had surpassed some 40 million Facebook fans and 20 million Twitter followers all before his 18th birthday.
Bieber's whirlwind success started with his debut single 'One Time' released in 2009, followed by his EP 'My World.' A full length studio album, 'My World 2.0' followed in March 2010 and debuted at or near No. 1 in several countries. It also sparked Bieber's first headlining tour, aptly named the 'My World Tour' in June 2010.
We could talk about the other projects that Justin Bieber has been involved with namely remix albums, Christmas albums, television appearances and a 3D biopic-concert film but it would only begin to scratch the surface of his mass appeal as it stands now. He released his third studio album, 'Believe,' in June 2012 with an intentional musical departure from his previous teen pop sound. His global fan base embraced it, and 'Beliebers' worldwide made the project his fourth chart topper in the United States and the No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.
If you want Justin Bieber tickets, SeatGeek is one of the few places you may be able to find them. All 49 North American dates of his 'Believe' world tour (kicking off September 29 in Glendale, Arizona) sold out within one hour. Tickets for two nights at New York City's famed Madison Square Garden (on November 28 and 29) were gone in 30 seconds. It's a true testament to Bieber's enduring popularity as he makes the leap from tween heartthrob to adult artist, his throngs of screaming fans will be there with him every step of the way.
2011 Justin Bieber Ticket Update
Justin Bieber's whirlwind success has only been building-- "Bieber Fever" has been only intensifying as Justin released several new singles and an auto- biographical movie titled "Never Say Never". At SeatGeek we saw some a huge increase in Justin Bieber ticket sales as the teen played his first concert in Madison Square Garden...to a sold out crowd. Most recently, at the CMT music video awards, Justin won the Collaborative Video award with Rascal Flatts for their work together on "That Should Be Me". He is also promoting his new fragrance "Someday".
On June 29th, Bieber announced that he began recording on a new album. He promises that it will be even bigger than "My World 2.0".
Justin Bieber is one of the most popular artists among the SeatGeek staff.

This weekend HauteGREEN opened with a flourish. The space looked beautiful, full of innovative and thoughtful explorations of sustainable design for the home, including a brand new piece from Scrapile, and an art installation of recycled water bottles from Tobias Wong and Josée Lepage. Here are my photos from the show and party. For photos of ALL the work check out our flickr feed at:
