In this page, the derivatives of functions in composite form and parametric forms are discussed.
Finding derivative of composite function.
Given `v(u)` and `u(x)` find `(dv)/(dx)`
`= lim_(Deltax->0) (v(u(x+Delta x)) -v(u(x)))/(Delta x)`
multiplying and dividing by `u(x+Delta x) - u(x)`
`=lim_(Deltax->0) [``(v(u(x+Delta x)) -v(u(x)))/(u(x+Delta x) - u(x))`` xx (u(x+Delta x) - u(x))/(Delta x)``]`
Substituting `u(x+Delta x) - u(x) = Delta u`
If `Delta x ->0`, then `Delta u ->0`
with continuity and differentiability conditions on `v` and `u`.
`= lim_(Delta u -> 0) (v(u(x+Delta x)) -v(u(x)))/(Delta u)`` lim_(Delta x->0)(u(x+Delta x) - u(x))/(Delta x)`
`=(dv)/(du) (du)/(dx)`
What does the above prove?
The answer is "`(dv)/(dx) = (dv)/(du) (du)/(dx)`"
Derivative of composite function can be extended to multi-level functions.
`(df)/(dx) = (df)/(dg)(dg)/(dh)(dh)/(dv)(dv)/(dx)`
This is also called chain rule of differentiation.
Intuitive understanding of chain rule :
In `v(u(x))`, `v(u)` is called outer-function and `u(x)` is called inner-function. In a composite function,
the change in variable causes a change in inner-function and that change is the rate of change of inner-function.
the change in inner-function, in turn, causes change in outer-function. This change, rate of change of outer-function, is with respect to the inner-function.
Thus rate of change of outer function with respect to variable `=` rate of change of inner-function to the variable `xx` rate of change of outer-function to the inner-function.
Finding derivative of function given in parametric form.
`y=f(r)` and `x=g(r)`
`(dy)/(dx) = ?`
`(dy)/(dx)` `= lim_(Delta x -> 0) [ Delta y -: Delta x ]`
Note that change in `x` will reflect as change in `r`.
`Delta x = g(r+Delta r) -g(r)`
`Delta y = f(r+Delta r) - f(r)`
`= lim_(Delta r -> 0) [``(f(r+Delta r) - f(r))`` -:(g(r+Delta r) -g(r))]`
dividing numerator and denominator by `Delta r`
`= lim_(Delta r -> 0) [``(f(r+Delta r) - f(r))//Delta r`` -: (g(r+Delta r) -g(r))//Delta r``]`
with continuity and differentiability conditions on `u` and `a`
`= lim_(Delta r -> 0) [``(f(r+Delta r) - f(r))//Delta r]`` -: lim_(Delta r -> 0)[(g(r+Delta r) -g(r))//Delta r``]`
`= (df//dr) / (dg//dr)`
`= (dy//dr) / (dx//dr)`
What does the above prove?
The answer is "`(dv)/(du) = dv//dx -: du//dx`"
Intuitive understanding of `(dv)/(du) = (dv//dx) / (du//dx)` Rate of change of a function `v` with respect to another function `u` can be computed by the change in the common variable `x`. The change in the common variable `x` causes change in `v` as well as in `u`. This leads to the given formula.

practice questions to master the knowledge
practice questions to master the knowledge
Given `y= sin (x^2)`, what is `(dy)/(dx)`?
Note: `d/(dx) x^2 = 2x`
`d/(dx) sin x = cos x`
The answer is "`2x cos(x^2)`"
taking `u=x^2`
`=(d)/(du) sin u xx d/(dx) x^2`
applying law of derivative
`=cos u xx 2x`
`=2x cos(x^2)`
Given `y= sin r` and `x=r^2`, what is `(dy)/(dx)`?
Note: `d/(dp) p^2 = 2p`
`d/(dp) sin p = cos p`?
The answer is "`(cos r) / (2r)`"
`=(cos r)/(2r)`
as `(dy)/(dr) = cos r` and `(dx)/(dr)=2r`

chat room
great, another human wants to talk...
my life is like a reality show
with humans watching
they go ape-sh** at feeding time (pardon my french)
pressing their noses against the glass,
knocking to get our attention
just once I would like to knock on their
dining room window to see their reaction
and it wouldn't be this 2" monkey-proof glass either
it's a job
I know I have it good, shouldn't complain
room and board, free meals
but is this all there is?
just another day in paradise
the job is not hard,
entertain the humans by day
and believe me, they are easily amused
at night go down into the den,
watch some TV, order pizza,
spend some family time,
and do it all again the next day
Hey, You ever watch Twilight Zone? I can imagine one where we are like this, you on one side of the glass and me on the other, but at the end of the day I get to go home and you stay here in this glass cage... now that would be funny!
You got kids? Do they drive you crazy like mine do? Jumping around, trying to get attention, gotta love 'em. Enjoy your kids while you can before you go to that big zoo in the sky.
Well it's been good talking to you, hope you have a good Fathers Day.
Thanks for listening, man, you're not too bad for a human.

today Will went through his attic and found this, Butchie the bear. Apparently he lived in his crib with him and lived on his bed, then up on a shelf until he left for college. this now goes with all the stuff that our families have saved for the future baby.
while i didn't have my camera handy when Butchie was first unearthed, the picture below is an accurate re-enactment.

Hi, I came over from Mrs. G's after reading all those wonderful bits of advice.
Butchie looks very much like my younger brother's bear (only his was blue). So sweet!

Ponderosa pine (Blackjack, Bull, Western yellow pine) grow in the dry western United States.
Soil: Ponderosa pine can grow in both alkaline and acid soils -- pH 4.9 to pH 9.1 -- and on a wide variety of soil textures and types. This is the important part, the amount of water a tree can harvest from the soil depends on how well the roots grow. Ponderosa pine develops more roots in coarse- or medium-textured soils, rather than fine-textured clay soils. In clay soils, roots seldom go down more than 3 feet, while in open well-drained soils, roots extend for 6 feet or more. Ponderosa pines growing on clay soils are more prone to waterlogging problems because of poor drainage A.
Watering: Seedling ponderosa pines require regular deep watering through the first three years of their lives, especially during summer months. The young plants send out deep tap roots -- up to 20 to 30 inches long -- which help anchor them and enable them to use deeper soil moisture. They also develop a wide spreading root system closer to the soil surface. Supplement natural precipitation from May through the fall months to keep the soil moist but not overly wet. This allows proper root development A. Let the top of the soil dry out before watering again.
Sunlight: Ponderosa requires full sun.
Fertilize: When fertilizing overuse of nitrogen can cause the tree to push out weak growth and may lead to the trees death. Most recommendations are for use of organic fertilizers. There are manufactured conifer fertilizer. Most feedings are done from April to June when the conifers growth is most active.
Note: We are striving for the ideal growing conditions. Ideal conditions for Ponderosa are very narrow. This is a tree for experienced horticulturalists.

England vs New Zealand 1st Test Day 3 Highlights 24-03-2018
Watch England vs New Zealand 1st Test Day 3 Highlights 24 FEB 2018 Today – "We had the first use of the wicket and we've probably got our spans right, but we have seen during when England have bowled, there've constantly been hard times, and also our batters have done a fairly good job up to now. Being caged to get a few days, it is significant when we do move out and bowl we struck our regions from the beginning."
Bleak weather in Auckland over the previous two days – just 26 overs were possible in complete on days three and two – can force New Zealand to announce on a total of less than 300 for just the sixth time in their background. They maintain firm control of this day-night Evaluation, using bowled England out for 58 on the first morning. The prediction for the last two weeks remains promising, albeit with a chance of showers in the day on Sunday.
"The place we are in today is a great one," MyCrickethighlights New Zealand fast bowler Tim Southee stated following the next day has been washed out. "The rain was frustrating, however, the work we put into daily one has made this frustration just a tiny bit easier to consume.
Just 17 balls were possible on the next day in Eden Park, as continuous rain along with a damp outfield forced the umpires to call play at 6.45 pm, five hours after the shower. New Zealand scored four runs in these 2.5 overs, extending a significant first-innings result in 175. Henry Nicholls increased his sixth Test fifty. BJ Watling was unbeaten on 18.

Happy Blank Page: 2013
2012 was bipolar – but I'd do it all again
Well, that was a… colourful year. And who could ask for more? Rather that than the alternative, which is a dreary thought. Death!
So what happened? (I'm still asking myself that, so this summary is as much for my benefit as anything else.)
1) Released 2nd album. Got more, and better, reviews than #1 – which was kind of the idea.
2) Did a brief and eventful tour after release – pretty much broke even: another first. Played a fair few other gigs, mostly solo, some with…
3) A band, which orbited around the songs for roughly 8-9 months and then exploded. With hindsight, it was never going to last, but during that time we played…
4) Live on BBC Introducing: The South (and the single got a little air-time too). This was exciting.
5) Did some more on the writing front, including an anthology on Kindle. My shady publication history can be partially untangled here, for anyone who's into the minutiae.
…Besides these bare bullet-points, I've just kept on doing it, "it" being more songs. Met some potential collaborators in the last couple of months, had a few tantalising overtures; again, I'm not going into detail yet for fear of The Jinx; in this game, so many promising set-ups tend to evaporate without warning.
But it's promising just the same. And it's been a blast – on a gross venal level, the trickle of royalties makes filling in an income tax Self Assessment form such a thrill.
Joking aside, I'm still fuelling off the highs and regret none of the lows – hope you (whoever you are) likewise. Happy New Year.
next gig: Thursday 20 Sept, Brunswick, Brighton
And here's another gig, back home at the Brunswick in Brighton – details here. Thur 20 Sept, doors 8pm, tickets £4 or £3 adv from Brunswick site (with unlimited cheap guestlist).
I'm closing the night from about 10:20, and get a 40-min set – which gives me a chance to play some stuff from album 2 that's not been aired before. The other acts are Jessica Mary York and Daniel Powell. Thanks to Andy Hillion for promoting, and as it's a nice atmospheric venue this should be a memorable night: looking forward to it.
Unpeeled album review + TOUR NEWS
The 13th August update of Unpeeled has very positive things to say about Glow in the Dark – "once in a blue one, you come across something of genuine interest", for a start – and I've taken the liberty of quoting the entire review on the Press page. Go to the site, though, it's all good writing (and they clearly have excellent taste, eh? Eh?!?).
Tomorrow sees the first date of MINOTAUR – South Seas Live in Sheffield. Facebook pg for that specific gig here.
Wish me luck – or a gloriously messy death. x
GLOW IN THE DARK out today – reviewed by Whiteboard Project
GLOW IN THE DARK – album #2 – is now available from Bandcamp, Amazon, Spotify & iTunes. And the rest. My advice is get it from Bandcamp, where it comes with extras.
It's been reviewed by Whiteboard Project, here. (Scroll down, it's the second or third item.) It "will infuriate some and delight others […] Highly recommended". Amen to that.
On top of this, I'm part of a brief tour from 15th – 19th August.
Brighton Souce & Ringmaster Reviews: Glow in the Dark x2
Two more reviews for Glow in the Dark, first from Stu Huggett in Brighton Source magazine:
…And second from Ringmaster Reviews, here. An ambivalent one, this – "at times not easy to get a handle on", but "to ignore it would be a mistake"… and "a sinister caress with less than healthy intentions which leaves one rattled but needing to feel its shadows again"(!). Still, it's in-depth, which is aces with me. And uncertainty isn't a bad thing… I've evoked some colourful images in the writer's head: my work is done.

School hasn't even started for the year, and my kids already have been learning. Here at the Dellinger household, every day is a school day. After some experimentation, it was discovered that plastic animals can stick to the ceiling if enough blue sticky-tack is used on their feet. This works even with the big dinosaurs.
You'll have to use your imaginations on this one. Even though it was a great sight, I hesitated to photograph the process at the risk of condoning such behavior.
But it was funny. And creative.
Should I mention it on our report to the state? Hee hee.
p.s. If you want to see other people's inventive uses of Sticky Tack, you can google the term and look at people's images. Interesting. I also personally know one person (who shall remain nameless) who tried chewing it like gum. She was disappointed in the result.

McCallum dressed for 339 games over 23 CFL seasons with B.C., Saskatchewan and the Ottawa Rough Riders, who ceased operations in 1996.
"The relationships, teammates, times in the dressing, practical jokes, that's what I'm going to miss,'' McCallum said at a press conference.
The two-time CFL all-star was named the top Canadian of the 2006 Grey Cup game, booting six field goals in the Lions' 25-14 win over Montreal.
He also claimed the league's most outstanding special teams award in 2011.
McCallum leaves with the second-highest CFL career point total with 3,131 and the second-most field goals with 718.

Kinda stole some thunder from Peyton's announcement.

Good kicker. Congrats on a very good career.

I agree Darcy. The IQ level of some people on here barely is above the amoeba!! A great career seen it all won it all and yes a terrible miss but that's football. We see it in every league. He is a Hall of Famer and should be even considered for Plaza of Honor. Did an admirable job last year for the Riders considering the circumstances.

Don't be grouping a whole fan base in one category for the comments of one or two people. Every family has one. Every crowd has one. So a Million plus fan base will have a few morons. Plus if your going to name call. At least back it up with who you are and where your from. So that we too can judge you for those you represent.

Here is an idea Rod. Since you do not read anonymous texts on your show. I for one am glad that you don't. Why not have a rule here that states the same thing. No postings will take place as anonymous. Everyone needs a screen name.
Sure people can fool around with those screen names. But they soon become tired of having to change it.
You could have people register to your site. For privacy issues you could request their 1st name and postal code.
It sure would get rid of a lot of rif raf on here.
I've had this same screen name on every football site I read and comment on. I even read the EE and Bombets site and comment. I write respectfully on their sites as I expect the same in return when they write on the Rider Blogs.

Hits go down in that instance. It's been proven.

remove the anonymous and the blog is dead

3rd and 1 wants names published...good to know.

Read the blog friend. I suggested Screen names published. Just as TSN had it for years. Not a persons name. Big difference. Why do people have so much trouble reading in this Province.
It's been proven that the readers remain close to the same. Just postings do go down some. Simply because the in your face, disrespectful personal insults usually taper off.

NRT reaches quarterfinals of Sikkim Governor's Gold Cup
GANGTOK, November 1: NRT Nepal beat JCT (Academy) Phagwara by a 2-1 margin to reach the quarterfinals of the Governor's Gold Cup in Gangtok today. In another match, the Nigerian Eagles got the better of Chittagoan Abahoni Bangladesh with two goals against one to reach the semis. In the earlier match, which would have been a draw with the two teams at one goal each Anil Gurung from NRT Nepal scored when the game was 34 minutes old, but was equalled by L Lima from JCT (Academy) Phagwara hit the net at the 55th minute of the second half. Anil Gurung of the NRT Nepal shot the golden goal in 21st minute of the 30 minutes added time and won the game for his team. More than 5,000 strong supporters gathered to witness the first match expecting a brilliant match and NRT Nepal lived up to their expectations. However, both teams drew much applause from the crowds and was cheered on with much enthusiasm .In the second match, Freeman Egbum from Nigerian Eagles scored in the 4th minute of the game, which was evened by Chittagoan Abahoni Bangladesh with a single goal by Liton in the 65th minute in the second half of the match. The Nigerians came back strong with Nkenchor Feauji scoring in 75th minute of second half Al Amin from Chittagoan Abahoni Bangladesh and Akiojano Felix and Agu Innocent from Nigerian Eagles were warned with yellow cards in the match. "This time we have 100% confident to take the cup this year but we have not taken any match linearly as we working hard," said a team coach Mr Fuja Tope. "Today our team had played satisfactory so I hope the best in another match too," he added.

This thread is to teach anyone interested on how to trade the US market and earn better returns compared to keeping your money in the bank, only to be used by other fund managers.
The "why" you are doing anything is more important than the "what". When you understand the "why", then the "what" is not much of a question.
• Positioning ourselves anywhere in the world and make foreign currency as if we were based abroad.
• Spend more time with our family, being able to work from home or any location.
• Know exactly what happens when you lose or make money, so that you know exactly what to do when opportunity knocks again.For me, the freedom outweighs all, am sure you can speak for yourself.

Kim Kardashian And Katy Perry
Taylor Swift's Reputation album was released yesterday, full of lyrics bashing Kim Kardashian's husband, Kanye West. Kim seemed to throw a punch of her own by attending Katy Perry's Los Angeles concert last night and documented her experience on social media.
Taylor takes multiple jabs at Kanye in several of her songs on Reputation, most notably in "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things," which appears to be entirely about the Waves rapper and his wife. Kim seemed very unbothered by the album and its references to her husband, as she attended Katy's Witness tour with daughter, North West.
Beyonce Can't Stop Listening To Taylor Swift's Album
Kim snapchatted a few moments of the evening, one of which included a selfie with Katy and North backstage. The mother-of-two also shared several videos dancing and singing along to "E.T.," which her husband is featured on.
While it appears to have been just a mommy-daughter night out, many are speculating Kim's decision to go to the concert was strategic.
Twitter user @rachelmcrady commented on the matter, "The day Reputation comes out, Kim Kardashian goes to a Katy Perry concert. God bless the United States of Shade."
Taylor's sixth studio album has fans dissecting every lyric, trying to decide who each song and line is about. For the most part, Reputation seems to be about current boyfriend Joe Alwyn, ex's Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston, and rivals Kim and Kanye. There doesn't appear to be any clear lyrics referring to long-time enemy, Katy Perry.
Taylor dedicated a whole song, "Bad Blood," to her feud with Katy on 2014's 1989 album. It appears Taylor might be over that feud, as Katy also stated in public interviews that she was over it as well.
Some fans have pointed out one lyric in the album's lead single, "Look What You Made Me Do" could be about Katy. When Taylor sings, "all I think about is karma," she could be referring Katy's use of the word karma in her Taylor-diss track, "Swish Swish." This is a stretch, as most of "LWYMMD" is known to be about Kanye.
Reputation also dropped on the anniversary of Kanye's mother's death, which caused many to slam Taylor over her insensitive timing. Loyal Swifties believe the release date was a mere coincidence.
According to Radar Online, Kim and Kanye think Taylor is "disgusting" for releasing her album on the sad anniversary, and claim she is "so calculating."
Was Kim throwing shade at Taylor by attending Katy's concert? Let us know your thoughts!

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
- Yes I have an Enhanced DBS certificate.
At the preliminary meeting my credentials, qualifications, DBS Certificate, will be presented to parents & student.
- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
- Please see my 1st. video added to "My Files" on how I work online.
Over the last few years I have developed strategies, including Skype, Zoom and Bitpaper, to carry out tuition online, so that I can share my knowledge and enthusiasm with a wider range of students who would benefit from my help.
For your FREE online discussion of how I teach online, and to see it in action - please either email to firstname.lastname@example.com, or phone or send me a text message.
or via my Skype name - michael_maths_and_physics_tutor (yes, it's a bit long .... but if you copy and paste, it's done quickly).
Modern technology enables you to have a personal tuition learning experience which is just as effective as having face - to - face tuition, and for some students online tuition is less stressful and more effective than face to face tuition. You might like to try a free preliminary Skype / Zoom meeting online. It's free, It takes 20 to 30 minutes of your time to see how my system works, with no obligation to book tuition.
With my current online students and parents (GCSE Maths; GCSE Physics and A - Level Physics ) I create a working relationship and a learning experience which is just as effective as face - to - face tuition.
We use Skype (or Zoom) for conversation. It's just like talking to parents and student around the same kitchen table! I can still share my qualifications, my certificates, my enhanced DBS certificate and discuss the student's educational needs, just as I do in face - to - face.
The pages of notes which I - and the student - compose together in the course of the lesson - at the end of the lesson I scan the pages and send them to the student. That way the student gets the complete set of our personalised lesson notes, to keep on their computer or to print out.
I do it this way because the quality of my handwriting on paper is excellent and much better than writing on online whiteboards.
However, an interactive online whiteboard is good to use from time to time; and can be useful for working together on questions and past papers.
it depends on what the student prefers.
The student does not have to download anything to his / her computer (just Skype for free), and have a reliable internet connection and a printer / scanner is helpful.
I use a graphics tablet and stylus to write on the whiteboard, and the student can write on it too.
It is an excellent option when travelling distance is a problem.
The benefits to the student and teacher of online tuition are:
• convenience of not having to travel on cold and dark evenings. Great if you can't find a local tutor or if you are overseas.
* you can find an excellent tutor online.
* you're not limited to a tutor who lives within a 5 or 10 mile radius.
* 2 students together can benefit from online tuition.
• no travel costs.
• no disruption to home life.
• working in familiar home environment, or anywhere you can get on the internet. (It doesn't have to be a very fancy high speed connection).
• more time slots available.
• excellent for either one-off help, short - term or longer term help with homeworks, topics or exam paper practice.
• no long - term contract, unless you want to discuss a longer term package of lessons.
• tuition when you need it.
• tutor support between lessons.
- Do you belong to any professional organisations?
- I am a member of the National Education Union (N.E.U / NUT).
Affiliated to the Institute of Physics.
- Tell me about some of your current students.
- They range from Years 8, 9, boys / girls for Maths / Science, years 10 / 11 and Year 12 & 13 boys and girls for Physics & Maths, GCSE and A - Level, and adults - recently a woman seeking Numeracy Skills to gain entry to a University Nursing course (success) and yet another seeking seeking Numeracy Skills for entry to a teacher training course for QTS (PGCE) (success again).
ONLINE - some of my students are nearby, others are far away in the UK and others are overseas, notably, last year, a boy being home schooled in IGCSE Maths and Physics in remotest Spain, and a girl in A - Level Physics in China; another in Kuwait. In either case we have just as good a 1 - to - 1 working relationship as in face to face, maybe even better ! Please see examples of my work in "My Files". Many other examples are available on request. Just drop me a line.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
- Whether you need help with homework, coursework guidance, specific topics, revision strategies, or exam technique and practice at past exam papers, etc. . . help is available, and you and parents WILL see improvement = decreased stress, less worry and anxiety, increasing CONFIDENCE with the subject.
This usually follows through to BETTER GRADES in tests and exams.
Do you want to learn Maths or Physics, have fun and make great progress?
PERSEVERE - and you WILL find a path to your dream.
Drop me a line. Maybe I can help to make the path a bit easier for you.
Other than that, if your still reading, very well done!
I wish you every success in what you choose to do.

"Reading Around Physics"
You may have separate course textbooks for your GCSE, AS year or your A2 year in Physics. These books are usually written by examiners from your exam board and they focus tightly on the items as listed in the Specification. That's wonderful as a way of getting to the heart of the subject. However, when reading the course book you may find parts...
"Tips for Writing Physics Notes".
You may know how to make good notes already. Even so, I thought I would share with you some strategies that I have found successful. First off: have a couple of good books that you can consult when reading about a particular topic. That way you get the benefit of different Physics experts' knowledge. You get their "versions" of the topic....

Hello Michael,
It's Karen.
I got my GCSE Results earlier and thought I would let you know how I did. I got 5 B's and 6 C's so I have enrolled for college in and will be doing my A - Levels. I got a C in Science, which is good as I struggled in that subject, and a C in Maths. Just want to say a huge THANKYOU for pulling me through science & maths. You were a massive help and without your lessons I doubt I would have passed. So thankyou for getting me into college :)
Hope your well
- Karen, Year 11, Maths and Science student
Hi Michael
Stop press!! Sarah's maths GCSE has been remarked, and is now officially graded A* rather than A !! Thought you'd like to know. The school advised we sent it in for review, and they were obviously right to suggest we did so.
- Kay, mother of Sarah, Year 11 GCSE Maths
Hi Michael.
I hope you've been well these few weeks. Just wanted to tell you my result for maths. I got a B for my overall maths grade.
Fortunately I've been offered a place at the Medway school of pharmacy, which is part of the university of kent.
Thank you so much again for all your help, I really appreciate it
Kind regards,
- Mona, Yr. 13 Maths student
Dear Michael,

We have no hesitation in recommending your teaching to other parents and students and Christian looks forward to the possibility of working with you again in the near future on a Higher Educational tier.
We wish you all the best in your future aspirations.
Best Wishes,
Mark and Denise
- Mark and Denise, parents of Christian, my FIRST GCSE Online Maths student, Aug. 2015
Hi Michael,
Im really happy with the pace we are going - really enjoying my lessons with you, the stories, the theories, videos, questions, experiments and this is really important for me to integrate concepts Ive never been able to before. And the hands on experience is a real 'luxury' - for the first time I can see and understand what is happening and 'remember' things - such as a series circuit and current which I shall never forget.

U.S. Officials Optimistic on Terror Fight
Associated Press Writer
Bush administration officials are not declaring victory in the fight against terrorism, but increasingly are expressing optimism that the tide has turned decidedly in America's favor.
Only several months ago officials repeatedly were warning that attack could be imminent, and people scrambled for duct tape and plastic to seal their homes against chemical or biological agents.
FBI Director Robert Mueller was the latest senior official to express growing confidence, telling the American Jewish Committee in a speech Thursday that the U.S. victory in Afghanistan destroyed an essential terrorist sanctuary that al-Qaida has been unable to replace.
"We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide," Mueller said, repeating a line from President Bush's speech last week on the deck of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln.
Also Thursday, the Air Force said it has scaled back combat air patrols over Washington.
Officials cite the arrests or killings of senior al-Qaida planners as a chief reason for their optimism. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, and other top organizers such as Ramzi Binalshib and Abu Zubaydah, are in U.S. custody.
Last week, Pakistani authorities captured Waleed bin Attash and five other alleged al-Qaida members believed to be plotting to crash a small plane packed with explosives into the U.S. consulate in Karachi.
The new confidence stands in contrast to comments by Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge in February, when the nation went to high alert for terrorism because intelligence showed "the most significant set of warnings" since Sept. 11, 2001.
In March, there was high concern about attacks during war with Iraq, but none occurred.
Terrorism experts are divided on whether the optimism is misplaced. Some say al-Qaida is famous for its patience and willingness to wait to strike until its enemy's guard is down;e others say the group never was as formidable as the public was led to believe.
"We have basically forced the bad guy to run and hide," said Phil Anderson, director of the homeland security initiative at the Center on Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. "We've forced him to be more concerned about surviving and fighting another day rather than assuming the risk of launching another attack on U.S. soil."
Michael Greenberger, a former Justice Department official in the Clinton administration who now is a law professor at the University of Maryland Center for Health and Homeland Security, said al-Qaida may be waiting for the United States to relax.
"We need to be constantly vigilant because a lot of theorists think it's going to come when we least expect it and by people we least expect," he said.
Indeed, a purported al-Qaida spokesman, Thabet bin Qais, is quoted in an Arabic weekly published in London as saying that the organization is planning new major attacks against the United States and that Americans do not understand how al-Qaida has changed.
Anderson said al-Qaida appears to be attempting to reorganize and maintain its international stature by mounting smaller-scale attacks overseas, such as the nightclub bombing in October that killed 202 people in Bali, Indonesia, and the November suicide bombing of a Kenyan resort favored by Israeli tourists. A simultaneous attack on an Israeli jetliner taking off from Mombasa airport 12 miles from the resort failed when shoulder-fired missiles missed their mark.
Mueller said the Bali bombing was a "catalyzing event" in gaining much greater cooperation for the war on terror from Southeast Asian and Pacific nations.
This worldwide cooperation, coupled with greater intelligence capabilities and information-sharing by the FBI, CIA and other federal agencies, has helped give the United States the upper hand against terrorists, he said.
"We are in a much better position to track down and prosecute or neutralize them," Mueller said.

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls."Good Morning…
Every test in our life makes us bitter or better,
Every problem comes to make us or break us,
Choice is our whether we become victim or victor..!!
Truth is like oil in water.
No matter how much water you add..
Oil always floats on the top.
Smartness of a person can be judged by the way a person answers unexpected questions

Thank you for your story and comment Leslie. Agoraphobia is something I know all about as a child growing up with a Mother that was agoraphobic. As with any fear, getting help and trying your best to conquer your fears is the best medicine. Not only for yourself but for your family around you as well. Good luck!February 7, 2010 - 10:07am

Had my anxiety for a very long time, most of my life but learning how to cope and go in the right direction was very importoant to do all that I wanted to do. This is very treatable!!! You dont have to keep it where it is right now if you dont want to, it can get much better with some easy steps and a counselor who knows how to guide you properly. No reason to stay afraid like you are any longer. In no time at all you will do all that you want!! Good luck! Leslie ~ Charlotte, NC
ps everybody has anxiety from time to time...but some of us are just more sensitive to it. There is a much better way to do it and I hope you pick up the phone and call soon!!
I did get over my agoraphobia but it wasnt always easy. BUT the good news is...YOU can!!! Practice. Practice. Practice. Going into your fear zones. Ya gotta do it. I know its hard but you can do this! It does help if you have a good counselor w/you so please try to find one in your area by calling your local health and human services office in the area where you live. If you can NOT get there....please request a social worker come to your house to evaluate you and then that social worker can set you up with your needs and services in your area to help you. Best of luck to you!! This can pass....promise! Leslie Charlotte, NCFebruary 4, 2010 - 3:10pm
Hi, Mpesare,
Living with anxiety and panic attacks is, indeed, tough sometimes. I also have an anxiety disorder and I competely understand what you mean when you say "when you least expect it, BAM, panic, anxiety." This is absolutely true.
However, I think it's so very very important that you have learned to control the fear and bring down the anxiety. That's a great big tool you have right there in your desire to live normally. I too have gotten pretty good at "talking myself down" when I'm having an anxious day.
What kind of treatment have you had for the agoraphobia? Are you on medication daily? Do you see a therapist or counselor (for talk therapy) as well as a doctor or psychiatrist for your medication?
Are you able to walk outside your home, say around the block, by yourself?
Would you be able to drive around the block by yourself?
What do you feel would help you the most?
1. A counselor?
2. a few great web sites we could find for you?
3. A book about getting over agoraphobia?
What is the basis for your anxiety attacks? Is there any pattern to when they happen?
Please let us know some more info. We would love to help in any way we can.February 3, 2010 - 9:47am
I've had agoraphobia, anxiety and panic attacks for 28 years. They go, but always come back for no reason.I've learned to control the fear and bring down the anxiety,soon it disappears. It took me years to learn this and believe I can control it. I still need medication, but it's very seldom I take it. I have conquered the fears. I don't think it will ever go away and stay away. I know people say it will, but when you least expect it ,BAM, panic, anxiety.February 1, 2010 - 1:48pm
I meant alone, sorryFebruary 1, 2010 - 11:37am

New Black Panther Obama DOJ refused to prosecute: 'I hate white people – all of them!'
You want freedom? You're gonna have to kill some crackers! You're gonna have to kill some of their babies!"
Those were the words of Minister King Samir Shabazz, also known as Maurice Heath, the New Black Panther Party's Philadelphia leader. Shabazz is the same man the Obama administration Department of Justice refused to prosecute after he was filmed on Election Day 2008 with Jerry Jackson wearing paramilitary uniforms, carrying a nightstick and blocking a doorway to a polling location to intimidate voters.
The following YouTube video posted by Naked Emperor News shows his statements during a National Geographic special on the New Black Panthers:
"I hate white people – all of them! Every last iota of a cracker, I hate 'em," Shabazz shouts into a megaphone on a crowded sidewalk. "Through South Street with white, dirty, cracker whore [expletive] on our arms. And we call ourselves black men with African garb on."
Then Shabazz spotted a black man embracing a white woman.
"What the hell is wrong with you, black man?" he shouted into his megaphone. "You [inaudible] with a white girl on your damn arm!
"You want freedom? You're gonna have to kill some crackers! You're gonna have to kill some of their babies!"
In a 2008 interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, Sabazz said, "I'm about the total destruction of white people. I'm about the total liberation of black people. I hate white people. I hate my enemy. ..."
National Geographic describes the New Black Panther Party as "a militant hate group headquartered in Washington, D.C., that seeks to redefine the black struggle for equality and demand liberation from what it sees as white supremacy."
The party has marched on Independence Day, dragging American flags through the streets, trampling the flag on the ground and setting it on fire. The following video shows members of a New York chapter protesting celebration of Independence Day at an event called "4th of U-lie" on July 5, 2008. Members say the day is not a celebration of independence for blacks.
As WND reported, one poll watcher called police on Nov. 4, 2008, after he reportedly saw Shabazz brandishing a nightstick to threaten voters just 15 feet outside a Philadelphia polling location. Shabazz stood in front of the building with Jackson.
"As I walked up, they closed ranks, next to each other," the witness told Fox News at the time. "So I walked directly in between them, went inside and found the poll watchers. They said they'd been here for about an hour. And they told us not to come outside because a black man is going to win this election no matter what."
He said the man with a nightstick told him, "'We're tired of white supremacy,' and he starts tapping the nightstick in his hand. At which point I said, 'OK, we're not going to get in a fistfight right here,' and I called the police."
According to various witnesses, the men also hurled racial epithets such as "white devil" and "cracker" and told voters they should prepare to be "ruled by the black man." One person said the men called a Republican poll worker a "race traitor" and told him there would be "hell to pay."
The following is a YouTube video of the Election Day incident:
Career Department of Justice attorneys headed by voting-section chief Chris Coates filed a case under Section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 against four defendants, accused the men of attempting to engage in, and engaging in, both voter intimidation and intimidation of individuals aiding voters.
The original Department of Justice complaint named Shabazz, Jackson and two other defendants: the New Black Panther Party and its chairman, Malik Zulu Shabazz, who planned deployment of 300 members on Election Day.
A federal judge ordered default judgments against the New Black Panthers after party members refused to appear in court. The DOJ trial team had won its case.
Even though DOJ lawyers had won, the Obama administration suddenly ordered it dropped – against advice of prosecutors who brought the case.
In April, the New Black Panther Party released a statement blaming Republicans, "tea-party racists" and "right-wing circles" for complaining and harassing the organization.
"Our only connection to President Obama is the common color of our skin," it states. "The same dog that bites President Obama bites us too. So I say, if you were wise, you would leave Obama alone as well because he is your last chance to save your country. You are mad because a black man has been elected to the presidency, and that affronts your oversized ego."
This should be enough proof that the Obama adminastration is engaged in race politics and that they are subverting the consitution with this law suite against the state of Arizona.
There's not going to be much of a country left after Obama.

A while back I decided to do any upgrade of my tele lenses. I decided to sell my Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 AF-D (not tele-conveter compatible) and my Tokina 80-400mm f4.5-5.6 (not enough use) and purchase an 80-200mm f2.8 AF-S and a TC-20II 2x tele-converter. It was only just recently I completed all the transactions and had it all ready.
Yesterday my wife spotted a large Monarch butterfly in the trees. "Get your camera! This is amazing! It's huge!" she yelled. The perfect opportunity to try out the new tele combination! Unfortunately, by the time I got there with the camera, and the 80-200mm, and the tele-converter; the butterfly had long since disappeared.
So I decided to shoot some flowers around the garden, many of which were starting to look really nice. Here's a sampling; and although I missed the butterfly, I still ended up with some good shots.
Without doubt the 80-200mm f2.8 AF-S and TC-20II 2x tele-converter combination is not as blindingly sharp as my Tamron 180mm f3.5 macro, but it is reasonable. The biggest problem shooting at 400mm is the need to run 500th second or higher shutter speed at f5.6, which is hard even in the middle of the day. DX cameras magnify the problem as ISO performance isn't as good as full frame and the effective focal length is 50% longer.

Many of you find the head of this particular short article could poke fun at the suggestion of pools and dogs, however, feel this or not for several families out there the canine has equally as much say in the basin as the rest of the household members perform. Merely ask my service companion John forward with his two pugs. In some cases, I assume those pair of dogs has more state than any kind of one in John's home, I digress.
Do you need a pool vacuum?
Therefore allow's check out at a few general subjects our team receives regarding swimming pools and pets.
First and chief, vinyl fabric liner runs out the concern for many individuals. For new primary purposes, the ship can tear or even receive small slits, which at that point could lead to important leaking interests and frustrations. On the other hand, fiberglass and also secure swimming pools are practically never heading to be injured by pet dogs as well as are usually the right choice, depending upon the requirements of the house owner. Furthermore, remember that depending on the measurements from the dog, a modest sized group of measures is necessary for relations to entry/exit aspects.
There just haven't been several inquiries on this in the pool business, so I'll just detail what I have viewed around this factor. Because of just about all our clients, much+ inground and above ground pools utilize sodium and as a result of the fact that several grants their animals to pullulate the swimming pool, our team's been gratified to find that salt chlorine dynamos work quite suitable together with canines. Reflecting that they produce a diminished degree of organic chlorine, the chemicals may not be determined and also the sodium is easy on the skin layer. Up to this circumstance, I have not kept among our consumers mention their dog continued an adverse reaction to their sodium chlorine generator.
They claim a dog product around FIFTY individuals in the swimming pool at once. Regardless of, although their hair and such is troublesome on a filter device, by no means are they associated to finish damage either. For instance, if you use a cartridge filter on your pool it might mean that you just require to spray the screen off more frequently. If you own sand, you could need to backwash regularly. Both along with the former question, I've not listened to some of our buyers complain about exactly how their animals have detrimentally changed their pool's filter device.
Those of you that maintain swimming pools are likely accustomed to the reality, that guilty sensation you acquire when you find a new lifeless frog or even mouse in the water. Read on for helpful info on assisting creatures who have fallen into your swimming pool as well as some hints for stopping this from taking place initially.

New Media age reports that just 5% of consumers would be willing to pay for a monthly or yearly subscription to a newspaper or magazine to access online content.
The research carried out by Continental showed that of
adding that
500 regular newspaper and magazine readers in the UK, 35% would pay 2p per article, 22% would pay 5p per article, 13% would pay 10p and 7% would pay 20p.
A micropayment model was also disliked by the majority (63%) but compared with the small amount that would pay for a subscription, 21% said they would be willing to pay for individual articles and 11% would pay a larger one-off sum to get access to the whole publication.

Now, when he tries to get back on his board, he pays the price.
'The problem is when you fall now, you fall like a log,' the 28-year-old Swede said Thursday after an opening-round 4-under-par 68 left him tied for second at the Wachovia Championship. 'Before, it was more like a cat. It really hurts when you fall now, and it's the same with everything. When you fall, you fall hard.'
After finishing 148th on the PGA Tour money list last season, Johnson has only a partial exemption in 2005, and this is his fourth start. He tied for ninth last week in New Orleans - his first tournament since February - and continued the solid play at Quail Hollow.
He had the lead to himself at 6 under heading to the 17th tee, but hit his 5-iron long into the rough on difficult par-3. An indifferent chip left Johnson about 25 feet from the hole, and he missed the putt to make a bogey. Another one at the 18th left him in a group of four players one shot behind Sergio Garcia.
'I had a really nice day going,' he said. 'Of course, I'm really happy with 4 under coming in, as well. You know, it's too bad with the finish. The last three holes are really tough holes.'
As for the reason he took up golf in the first place, Johnson took a bet when he was 15 from his girlfriend's family, who jokingly told him he couldn't get the 'Green Card' required to play golf in Sweden. So he practiced for 10 straight days, 10 hours a day, and passed the test.
Before long, Johnson couldn't get enough of the game.
'I got hooked like everybody else,' he said.
He won several national junior tournaments in Sweden, then came to the United States to enjoy better playing conditions - he described his native land as a 'small country with very bad weather.' Now, he simply has to find his thrills on the golf course, something he would not have believed possible before he began playing.
'I did every other sport, and I really thought golf was kind of weird,' Johnson said. 'But if you pull off a really good shot or if you hole something, whatever, just the adrenaline flow is really probably what keeps me going. That's what I'm trying to get back to a little bit more, to get the adrenaline flowing.'
Pinehurst No. 2 is only a couple of hours down the road from the Wachovia Championship, and Nick Price won't have to worry about getting to the U.S. Open.
The USGA gave him a special exemption last week.
'That was sweet,' Price said Thursday after opening with a 73. 'It's the first invitation I ever got to a major championship. It was a big thing for me when (USGA vice president) Walter Drive phoned me. I said, 'Walter, that's one of the nicest phone calls I ever got.' I really needed it this year, too.'
Price thinks he's capable of becoming the first player since Hale Irwin in 1990 to win the U.S. Open after getting a special exemption.
'My game is not quite right, but it's close,' he said. 'If I can get rid of the junk in my game, just clean it out, I can have a chance, especially on an Open championship course. If it plays hard and fast, it will be awesome.'
Price tied for 23rd at Pinehurst No. 2 in 1999.
Jim Furyk came to the 18th hole at the top of the leaderboard and in total control of his game. A few wayward shots changed all that.
After playing without a bogey through the first 17 holes, the 2003 U.S Open champ chopped up his final hole and made a double-bogey 6, leaving him with a 3-under 69.
'Had I doubled 1 and played the rest of the way in, I'd probably be smiling and happy,' Furyk said. 'But finishing that way is never great.'
His trouble started when his drive unexpectedly bounced in the rough, and a weak approach shot found a bunker. An awful explosion left him with a 40-footer for par, and he misread the green from there.
'I hit a bad second shot, the bunker shot was terrible, and I got fooled on the putt,' Furyk said. 'I end up making a couple of mistakes on one hole after playing mistake-free.'
Ben Curtis couldn't see his eagle on the 12th hole, and he was lucky to hear about it with only a dozen or so people around the green. He hit an easy 5-iron from 172 yards, the ball landing on the ridge and breaking some 15 feet before dropping into the center of the cup.
'I hit it to 3 feet on the last hole and no one clapped,' Curtis said. 'Tough crowd.'
It's been a tough start for the 2003 British Open champion, although he is seeing some progress. Curtis shot 71, the first time he has started with a round under par since his first start of the year at the Buick Invitational. He shot 75 the next day and missed the cut.
Curtis, who has made only one cut this year, began seeing Hank Haney three weeks ago. He is working on starting his swing more outside, and he already is seeing some results.
'I've always been about keeping the swing on plane,' Curtis said. 'I'm getting some of my power back now.'
Tim Petrovic, who got his first career victory in a playoff last week in New Orleans, had a 77 in the first round, matching the score of James Driscoll, the man he beat. ... An odd scene caused a brief backup on the 16th hole early in the first round. Glen Day pulled his drive behind a couple of portable restrooms and needed a ruling, so his playing partners - Neal Lancaster and Michael Allen - finished out the hole by themselves. Meanwhile, all three members of the next group hit their tee shots, unaware of Day's troubles. He eventually completed the hole solo, making a bogey 5. ... Jay Haas had the best day among his family, finishing with a 73 to beat son Bill by one shot. Jerry Haas, Jay's brother and the golf coach at Wake Forest, shot an 80.

Muslims Celebrate Festival of Sacrifice / Honoring Abraham
Combining carnival rides and prayer, Bay Area Muslims gathered at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose yesterday to celebrate the Festival of the Sacrifice, a major holiday on the Islamic calendar.
The holiday is known in Arabic as Eid Al- Adha. After morning prayers, in which men and women worship in separate sections, a lamb or goat is sacrificed to re-enact the story of Abraham, the biblical patriarch who was willing to sacrifice his son in obedience to God and who is honored by followers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
After the religious observances, Muslims came together at the fairgrounds for food, games and gifts for children.


text: This book is really more 2.5 stars for me. I'm rounding up, because I have hope for the future of the series. My biggest problem was dialogue. Nearly every conversation between Caspar and Tru had me wondering what in the world just happened. They talk in circles around each other while saying how much they need the other to come clean with them. And Caspar's speech patterns drove me nutty. No one else in the book spoke like him, not even the other badass biker dudes he grew up with. If you're familiar with the characters, he came across as a mutant version of Stacia Kane's Terrible and Kristen Ashley's Hawk. In addition, I didn't see much character development. Honestly, I didn't see much development at all. Tru has to decide to stay or go. Caspar has to decide to keep her or...kill her, I think. So much of this felt, well, underdeveloped. I've seen some criticism of the violence. Those bits didn't bother me so much. Maybe I'm just jaded. I think this dystopian world and MC club needs changing and so do many of the characters. In order for the reader to see the need for revolution, I think the violence has to happen. We need to buy into the need for massive change. I have hope for this series still. It's the first of a hopefully complex and full world. I enjoyed having Mathias's perspective and voice, and I'd like to see books featuring him and Bishop. Much like the pilot episode for some of my favorite tv shows, the 1st in some of my favorite book series are the least likely for me to re-read.

Indian aid worker abducted in Afghanistan returns home, PM Modi 'delighted'
Indian aid worker abducted in Afghanistan returns home, PM Modi 'delighted'

Indian aid worker Father Alexis Prem Kumar, who was abducted by the Taliban from Afghanistan's Herat province, returned home on Sunday, ending a year-long wait and marking another chapter of diplomatic victory for the central government.
The Jesuit priest's release - which came seven months after the government freed Indian nurses trapped in Iraq - is believed to be the outcome of national security advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval's long negotiations in Afghanistan.
"Delighted at securing the release of Indian Jesuit priest Father Alexis Prem Kumar from captivity in Afghanistan," Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted.
Prem Kumar, a native of Sivaganga in Tamil Nadu, was abducted from a school for refugees in Afghanistan's Sohadat, about 25km from Herat. He was working with Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS), an educational charity, as its Afghanistan director and had been in the war-torn country for over three years when he was kidnapped.
Before moving to Afghanistan, Prem Kumar had served Sri Lankan refugees in Tamil Nadu on a JRS assignment.
His abduction had drawn widespread attention and even the Vatican had expressed concern.
Prem Kumar's relatives had met external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj and NSA Doval, requesting the government to secure his release. His family members had also petitioned the Sivaganga district collector.
Father Prem Kumar was in constant touch with his family in India from Afghanistan through Skype network.

My dear friends in the Lord,
The Holy Father has declared this year as the Year of Consecrated Life. We praise and thank God in a very special way during this year of consecrated life for our vocation to be religious in the Society of Jesus. We pray and make every effort possible to ensure that the Lord calls others to our way of life looking at the witness of our own personal and communitarian life.
In this context, I'd like to reflect with you on the words of the Prayer taught by Our Lord, "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us". We profess to be sinners, but called. Living together is bound to bring up frictions. Forgiving is important, no doubt, but forgetting is perhaps even more important. The grudge in our heart, festering for a long time, may erupt disproportionately, when the other falters in some way. Judging the other harshly, spreading negative news with embellishment - character assassination, is perhaps the result of inability not just to forgive, but also to forget. When something goes wrong, it is the bounded duty of each individual to inform the one who can do something to remedy the situation. By not doing so, we too become part of that evil. But talking about it to others who can do nothing about it is sinful. We are not called to judge and cast stones but to be messengers of divine love.
In the recently concluded Colloquium for new Provincials, Fr. General has urged all the Provincials to encourage the communities to use Sacraments for Community Building. In this year of consecrated life, I urge every community to make better use of the Sacraments, especially community Eucharist and periodic reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation for community building. If there are tensions, bring them up in the Eucharist, forgive the perceived offender, learn to forget, find excuses for the perceived offender, seek forgiveness and thus help in community building.
Fr. General also said that the ministry of Reconciliation is the need of the hour in the world. We need to become channels of peace through being bridge-builders between peoples of different religions, class, caste, gender, etc. May we begin this with our own Jesuit communities. May we all learn to mean what we say in our prayer, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us!
The JCSA will have its next meeting in Mumbai from February 22nd to 28th 2015. Do keep the conference in your prayers.
Our Province Congregation, in preparation for the General Congregation will be held from March 4th to 7th 2015. This is an occasion of grace for us and an chance to look at ourselves, at our consolations and desolations; to renew ourselves and to ensure that we live up to our call. Please pray for the PC as well as GC. As you reflect as individuals and communities, kindly send your reflections to the Provincial. You are also urged to send in Postulates.
In this year of consecrated life, let us all pray and make every effort possible to pave the way towards God's Kingdom for all, starting with ourselves.
