Mizraji & J. Lin", has been published in Cognitive Neurodynamics, an international journal. This research is the outcome of a WC traveling grant awarded to Juan last Spring.This past summer, Jon McCollum conducted faculty/student research with the Presidential Fellow and Cater Society member, Jordana Qi. The aim of this project was to collaboratively research and document diverse forms of Japanese Buddhist literary, musical, and visual expressions of creativity at various archival and museum locations, including: the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery, the Smithsonian Institution's Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, the Alan Lomax Audio Archive, the Library of Congress Folklife Center, the National Archives and Records Administration, and other institutions that serve as holders of tangible and intangible culture. The results of this research was integrated into the course material and pedagogy of the new special topics course, Performing Japanese Buddhism, which is currently being offered by the Department of Music and cross-listed with the Department of Philosophy and Religion.McCollum also recently published a chapter on the integrations of music and food cultures of Armenia in the book, The Ethnomusicologists' Cookbook, Volume II: Complete Meals from Around the World (Routledge 2015). A peer-reviewed text, this book covers over four dozen regions; the entries in these collection each include a regional food-related proverb, a recipe for a complete meal, a list of companion readings and listening pieces, and a short essay that highlights the significant links between music and food in the area.Finally, in October, McCollum was an invited guest lecturer for the graduate program in ethnomusicology at the University of Texas, Austin.

The ALPhA Immersion Equipment Grant from the Jonathan F. Reichert Foundation is for the amount of $5920. These funds will supplement the capital funds already provided by the college this year. The primary use of this plasma physics station will occur in our Advanced Physics Laboratory course. This station alone provides at minimum five distinct experiments that the students may choose to conduct. Each experiment connects to different advanced physics concepts from upper-division courses, so these hands-on experiences will assist in solidifying ideas that are typically very abstract. The flexibility of this apparatus will also allow students to conduct experiments of their own design in this course or as an SCE project. The utility of this station extends beyond the Advanced Lab, as it can also be used as a demonstration of fundamental concepts in nearly every course in the department. Additionally, students intending to conduct research with Dr. Thuecks (a plasma physicist) or Dr. Kehm (who uses an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer, or ICPMS, in his research) can familiarize themselves with plasma behavior and standard research techniques through use of this lab station.Michele Volansky served as the Dramaturg for the world premiere of Andrea Stolowitz's play Berlin Diary (Schluterstrasse 27), which opened at the English Theatre of Berlin on October 6th. She also served as an adjudicator for the Elliott Hayes Award in Dramaturgy (presented by the Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas) as well as a book reviewer for two projects from Methuen Drama, an imprint of Bloomsbury Press.Lansing Williams has been named to a second three-year term on the Enactus United States Faculty Advisory Committee (FAC). This committee of 25 Enactus advisors represent the diverse network of colleges and universities that make up the 443 Enactus teams in the United States.

Colin Campbell is a coauthor of Termite cohabitation: the relative effect of biotic and abiotic factors on mound biodiversity, which was published in Ecological Entomology in June. Termite mounds are built by so-called builder species, but many other species may occupy a mound. In this study, termite mounds were characterized by size, location, and the identity and presence/absence of the builder species. The multi-disciplinary team of authors applied a wide range of methodological tools to assess the relationship between these factors and mound biodiversity. In addition to the demonstrating the utility of the methodology for related studies, the authors show, for instance, that the presence of the builder species has a negative impact on biodiversity.
Additionally, Colin is the lead author of Top-down network analysis characterizes hidden termite–termite interactions, which was published in Ecology and Evolution in August. The interactions that occur between species inside termite mounds are difficult to characterize because opening termite mounds for observation changes termite behavior. Thus indirect methods must be used to determine if interactions between termite species that cohabitate mounds are (for example) mutually beneficial or mutually antagonistic. In this study, patterns of coexistence between termite species within termite mounds were compared to patterns of interactions in well-studied ecological systems such as plant visitation by pollinators. The study concludes that there is some evidence to support the hypothesis that termite-termite interactions are overall mutually beneficial.

Colin Campbell is an author on An evolutionary computation approach to examine functional brain plasticity, published in Frontiers in Neuroscience. Understanding how interactions between different regions of the brain change over time, for instance in response to aging, is a common goal in neuroscience. One standard method is to measure the extent to which the activity in two different regions of the brain are correlated, and determine how that correlation changes over time (generally over the course of months or years). A major potential shortcoming of this approach is that the analysis generally computes one average signal for each region. However, in cases where an averaged signal may suggest no change in correlation over time between the regions, a more sensitive method may detect, for instance, an increase in correlation for one portion of the regions and a decrease in correlation for a second portion of the regions. In this paper, the authors present a computationally efficient method for detecting and characterizing this so-called within-region heterogeneity. As a case study, the authors consider the brain's response to traumatic brain injury.

Every March, we celebrate Women's History Month as a way to honor and remember women who have been pioneers and who have helped shape our society and contributed to its success.
Nationally, the theme of the National Women's History Project is "Working to Form a More Perfect Union: Honoring Women in Public Service and Government."
We in Virginia are also seeking to honor women who have been important contributors to Virginia's progress as a Commonwealth.
We need look no further than Arlington to find women deserving of our respect, praise, and remembrance.
Mary Marshall was a public servant who represented Arlington County for 24 years as a Delegate in the Virginia General Assembly. She championed social services ranging from the rights of senior citizens to the needs of young children.
Evelyn Reid Syphax was a former Arlington elementary school teacher who served on elected and appointed school boards as well as many civic and community organizations. As Chairman of the Arlington School Board in the early 1980s, she led a successful overhaul of the County's desegregation plan to reduce long bus rides for minority students. Mrs. Syphax's family continues to provide leadership in our County and those who knew her honor her and remember her passing 16 years ago this month.
Both women exemplified Arlington's progressive values. Yet despite their successes in and on behalf of Arlington, many current County residents know little about them. The same is true for many other women who were instrumental in bettering life in Arlington or Virginia.
Fortunately, the Women's Monument Commission of Virginia is aiming to write more women into our history books by recognizing 12 outstanding women for their contributions to society with a monument on the grounds of the state Capitol in Richmond.
We can thank Em Bowles Locker Alsop, a feisty advocate for women's issues, who in 2010 successfully lobbied for a resolution to establish a monument recognizing Virginia women on Capitol Square in Richmond. The Women's Monument Commission selected the finalists for the monument from the many recommendations received from around the Commonwealth.
The Monument is likely the first of its kind at a state capitol. Its interactive design centers around an oval courtyard with statues of the 12 women — some standing, some sitting — greeting visitors with descriptions about their lives. Guests will be invited to learn and reflect on the important role women have played in our history, and inspire people to make their own positive mark on our Commonwealth's history.
Here are just a few of their stories:
- In 1677, Cockacoeske — the first female chief of the Pamunkey tribe — signed the Treaty of Middle Plantation establishing peace between area tribes and the English settlers.
- In the late 19th century, Sarah Boyd Jones was the first African-American woman to pass the Virginia Medical Examining Board's exam. With her husband, she helped create a medical association for Virginia's African-American doctors and also started a hospital.
- Born in 1882, Adele Goodman Clark was an active suffragist who became president of the League of Women Voters in 1921. She was instrumental in the establishment of the Virginia Art Commission and is considered to be one of the founders of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
These are the untold stories of phenomenal women in Virginia's history. The Honorable Mary Margaret Whipple, a former state Senator representing Arlington, serves as the Vice-Chair of the Commission, and is leading the charge to raise funds and awareness for the project.
The Monument also includes a Wall of Honor which will be updated regularly to reflect the continuous contributions women make to Virginia's history. The deadline to nominate a woman for the wall is March 31. To find out more about the Monument or nominate your favorite Arlington woman, click here.
In honor of Women's History Month, I hope everyone will learn more and teach our children about the women who worked to make Virginia, and communities like Arlington, places we are proud to call home.

The preceding was a sponsored article written by ARLnow.com for Arrowine.
Shirlington's revived pool hall will highlight female comedians in a showcase event shortly after the new year.
Chester's Billiards Bar & Grill at 2620 S. Shirlington Road is hosting the first Pink Friday Comedy Showcase on Jan. 22.
The showcase is advertised as a "Ladies First" comedy series at the restaurant and pool hall, which opened this fall in the former home of Lucy's ARL, another pool hall that closed in 2013.
As the name suggests, the show is produced by women and will feature up-and-coming female comics in the greater metro area.
Hosted by D.C. Improv and Broadway Comedy Club alums Eryca Nolan and Alexx Starr, the lineup currently includes three comedians and additional, unnamed guest performers. However, the lineup is subject to change.
Tickets are available online for $10 (not including fees), but the first 25 people to reserve tickets will get them free.
On show night, doors will open at 8 p.m. and the show will start around 8:30.
Karen Bate, founder of communication firm KB Concepts, was part of multiple entrepreneurial groups in Arlington, but none were just for women. So she decided to start her own organization, now called Arlington Women Entrepreneurs.
The group has quickly grown since it started in 2014, with the 100th member having just joined the group this week, Bate said.
"I just know all these amazing business owners," she said.
Bate started the group with an event for women entrepreneurs, inviting her friends and people she worked with to come to her house and bring other business owners. She expected it to be a small gathering, but had a large group of people show up on her doorstep.
"They were so happy to have a place where they could share their experience as solo business owners," Bate said.
From the first event at Bate's house, Arlington Women Entrepreneurs became a group of women who meet monthly to network and talk about running businesses.
The group is capping itself at 100 members and does not accept more than five members in each industry to allow the meetings to be useful for each member, according to the group's website.
There is already a waiting list, as there are at least five industries that have five members, Bate said.
"I have such an interesting group of women," Bate said.
Members include a woman who does mobile veterinary calls, artists, boutique owners, graphic designers, restaurant owners, include the women behind Lebanese Taverna, Trade Routes, Two the Moon and Nicecream Factory.
Meetings take place in member homes or businesses and include time to socialize with each other and a speaker who talks about some aspect of owning a business.
Previous speakers have included Tara Palacios, the director of BizLaunch of Arlington Economic Development, Liz Nohra from Leadership Arlington and County Treasurer Carla de la Pava.
Meetings give the women a chance to chat with one another, and most talk about being entrepreneurs and share their experiences, Bate said.
"They talk about a variety of things, but a lot of them talk passionately about their businesses," she said.
At the meetings, the female business owners are also able to collaborate with each other on their businesses or find ways to give back to the community through various service projects, Bate said.
Helping each other is one thing that Bate has noticed about working with female business owners.
"I believe women owners are extremely generous about supporting one another," she said.
Members brainstorm and collaborate with the other women in their industry, which helps the women come up with new ideas or solve challenges facing their businesses, according to AWE's website.
Starting a new business can be challenging, Bate said, adding that she has found many women do it for the flexibility. Arlington County is very welcoming to new businesses, and some of the speakers at meeting are people involved with the county's initiatives to help businesses, including the Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Arlington and Arlington Economic Development.
"I can't say enough about how supportive Arlington is with starting new businesses," she said.
Taking the leap and starting a business can be challenging, Bate said, adding that she had a lot of support from her family, who were also all entrepreneurs.
Working with women of AWE, Bate has noticed that many of the female business owners share similar traits, beyond wanting more flexibility with work, she said.
"Studies and anecdotal evidence reveal that many were not your traditional stellar students or over-achievers. A majority weren't motivated by good grades or the approval of others, in school or in their early jobs and careers. Instead, they found what motivated them, followed their own path, and turned that inner need into a thriving business," Bate said on her blog.

Peter's Take is a weekly opinion column. The views and opinions expressed in this column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of ARLnow.com.
Virginia's Republican Leaders are continuing their multi-year crusade to stifle the hard-won rights of Virginia's women.
In my March 19 column, I highlighted the systematic efforts by this year's Republican gubernatorial candidate, Ken Cuccinelli, to drive Virginia women's rights back to the 1950's.
But Cuccinelli is far from alone. The current Republican Governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell—who is eyeing a race for President in 2016–doesn't want to let Cuccinelli overshadow McDonnell's own efforts to restrict women's rights. Last week, McDonnell exercised his gubernatorial authority to modify legislation passed by the Virginia legislature earlier this year.
McDonnell added an amendment to Virginia health care reform legislation that interferes in women's private medical decisions by prohibiting insurance companies from offering policies that cover safe and legal abortion as a part of Virginia's health exchange. This is part of McDonnell's effort to curry favor with the far right wing of his party. McDonnell does not want to be outflanked by Cuccinelli in Republican right wing circles just as jockeying among the 2016 Republican Presidential contenders begins to ramp up.
From 2011's invasive ultrasound requirements (which made Virginia a laughingstock on late night comedy shows) to burdensome and medically unnecessary health clinic regulations, Virginia's Republican politicians continue to generate outrage with their attacks on women's health.
Important and private medical decisions should be made by a woman and her doctor, not by politicians. Caring for pregnant women means making sure they have all the options they need for all medical possibilities during pregnancy – whether carrying a pregnancy to term or making the decision with their doctor to end a pregnancy.
The federal constitutional right to an abortion is an integral part of basic health care for women, and must be part of comprehensive insurance plans in Virginia. McDonnell's amendment sets yet another dangerous precedent of political interference into health care decisions by eliminating coverage for care to which he is ideologically opposed—but about which he lacks the medical training to evaluate.
McDonnell and Cuccinelli need to find other ways to cozy up to the far right wing of the Republican Party.

Peter's Take is a weekly opinion column published on Tuesdays. The views and opinions expressed in this column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of ARLnow.com.
Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli wants to be elected Virginia Governor this year. If he succeeds, the values on which he has built his political career ensure that he would exploit every opportunity to set Virginia's women back 60 years to an era in which they were "stuck in the drudgery of domestic servitude."
You think I'm exaggerating? Cuccinelli supports a "personhood amendment" to Virginia's Constitution.
The practical effect of enacting a personhood law in Virginia would be to end or cripple a series of personal rights and private decisions that Virginia's women have enjoyed for decades, such as:
- Birth control
- Fertility treatment
- Management of a miscarriage
- Access to safe and legal abortions
Cuccinelli is also the godfather of the effort to drive all abortion clinics in Virginia out of business. In 2011, the Virginia legislature passed a law that classified abortion clinics that perform more than 5 first-trimester abortions per month as hospitals rather than doctor's offices. The intent of the law, candidly admitted by many of its sponsors, was to drive these clinics out of business entirely because of the expense of compliance.
This 2011 abortion clinic law was patterned after an earlier bill that Cuccinelli had sponsored when he was in the Virginia State Senate. In his current role as Attorney General, Cuccinelli has fought every step of the way to be sure that this abortion clinic law is harshly and mercilessly applied to wipe these clinics out.
Further cementing his role as a champion of setting women's rights back decades, Cuccinelli recently welcomed a $1.5 million pledge to his campaign for Governor from the Susan B. Anthony List — "a national organization known for its extreme stance on women's health care."
A Virginia governed by Ken Cuccinelli would be a 21st century real-life version of Margaret Atwood's classic 1985 science fiction novel, The Handmaid's Tale. Cuccinelli's views on the proper role of women in our society are central to his values and the way in which he would govern our state.
This is not science fiction — this is all too real. We can't afford to take a risk like this.

It takes about a week to set up, as I make it different every year. I
re-arrange the furniture for the holidays and clear up that 20X4 space
to display it in my front room... and no it doesn't take up the entire
room yet... I ran into a bunch more houses at an estate sale auction, so
not sure if it will fit there this year :(
That is only a small part of what we do here... sorry, but my
photographic abilities just can not get a decent picture of nighttime
here... when everything else is light up and moving, indoors and out.

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

Boring is beautiful on the Internet because the Internet is a very functional place. Because of low bandwidth and time pressure, it works best when it is designed using a "bare bones" approach rather than a "bells and whistles" approach.
Keep It Simple
Quality Internet design should be about functionality and simplicity. It should be all about helping the reader carry out a task in the simplest, fastest possible manner. If keeping it simple and fast means that the Web page doesn't look that graphically appealing, then so be it. If keeping it simple and fast means using standard rather than cutting-edge technology, then so be it.
The reader (consumer) wants simplicity. The reader wants speed. The reader wants convenience. The reader comes to your Web site to find out something. Having done that, he or she may want to carry out an action (purchase). Make life easy for them. They will thank you with their business.
Keep It Functional
A great many Web sites are making life hard for the reader. Consider the following:
- A 2000 worldwide Ernst & Young online consumer study found that three out of four respondents had started but didn't complete an online purchase in the past year. The study stated that "many consumers complained bitterly about long waits, clunky screens, complicated processes, missing or hard-to-find information, nonexistent telephone support, impossible return processes." A key conclusion of the study was that the online experience "is decidedly not about entertainment, which didn't even make the top-15 list of consumer preferences."
- Four out of five consumers in a 2000 A.T. Kearney study abandoned attempts to purchase products online due to poor Web site design and functionality. More than half (52 percent) of those surveyed said that being asked for too much information was their primary reason for failing to complete a purchase online. In addition, 40 percent abandoned their shopping carts due to Web site malfunctions. Abandoned shopping carts are estimated to cost e-tailers $3.8 billion in lost sales.
- Almost half of all consumers trying to purchase online during the Christmas 2000 period left Web sites without placing an order, according to a Creative Good report. Reasons for abandoning the purchasing process included slow-loading pages and difficulty in finding products.
- "While online retailers offer a variety of site features, most of these features (the bells and whistles), with the exception of search capabilities and close-up product views, are never used by the majority of online shoppers," according to a 2000 study from PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Follow America Online
The boring are inheriting the Internet, with America Online being a case in point. Wired magazine reluctantly described America Online as "unsexy and unstoppable." According to a Business Week article in March 2001, "At every turn in the emergence of the Internet, America Online has been an object of scorn. Silicon Valley geeks sneered at its cheery user-friendliness and derisively dubbed it 'America on training wheels.'"
America Online has always understood the need to keep it simple. It is the master of understanding its customers and using the Internet for what it can do today, not what we all would like it to be able to do. Boring is beautiful as long as it drives the bottom line. Just ask America Online.

Rakhi Sawant election 2014 News
Want to buy Rakhi Sawant's mirchi costume?
After tasting defeat in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections Miss Sawant is now all set to sell her Mirchi costume. We hope Rakhi will at least get a taker now, at least for her costume. Tell us if you are interested!
Rakhi Sawant went full gun blazing with her loud mouth and outrageous dressing sense to campaign for Aam Aadmi Party. Sadly, for Rakhi-and perhaps fortunately for the people in her constituency-the item gal, in the end, fetched only 1,195 votes. The numbers clearly suggested that not many took the babe and her political ideologies really seriously. Click here to read more

Australia born 1971
Possum jumping from tree, Newcastle
Collection Title: the portfolio Minutes to midnight
Place made: Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia
Creation Notes: printed 2005
Materials & Technique: photographs, gelatin silver photograph Edition: 1/5
In 2003 photographer Trent Parke went on a 90 000 kilometre journey around Australia which took him almost two years to complete. During his journey he saw many amazing sights and captured images of people, animals and the land. Here, you can see animals that Parke encountered on his journey: the tendrils of a jellyfish moving through the water; a luminous possum leaping between trees; and a cloud of fruit bats beating their soft, see-through wings. If you travelled Australia, what do you think you would see? How would you tell your story to others?
Activity: Choose one of Trent Parke's photographs and write a narrative about where these creatures came from and why the photographer chose them.
