Description from back of book:
And from the virtues of this month is that the good deeds are multiplied. It has been narrated that the optional deeds are equal in reward to the obligatory deeds, and the obligatory deeds have the reward of 70 obligatory deeds. And whoever provides food to break the fast of the fasting person shall have forgiveness for his sins and his neck freed from the Fire, and he will have the reward of the fasting person without decreasing the reward of the fasting person in the least.
Therefore, all of this good and all of these blessings and opportunities are provided for the Muslims by the entrance of this blessed month. Therefore, it is befitting that the Muslim greet this month with happiness, delight, and joy. And he should praise Allāh when he reaches the month and seek Allāh's help in fasting and putting forth good deeds during the month.

Description from back of book:
Allāh has obligated certain exchangeable rights upon the husband and the wife. Everyone's right is an obligation upon the other. The Messenger of Allāh (May Allāh raise his rank and grant him peace) said,
"Indeed! You have rights over your women and your women have rights over you."
However, man has been distinguished by Allāh with a degree over the women. Allāh says,
"And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards living expenses, etc.) similar (to those of their husbands) over them (as regards obedience and respect, etc.) to what is reasonable, but men have a degree (of responsibility) over them." [Sūrah Al-Baqarah 2:228]
The rights of marriage are three: the rights which are shareable between the husband and the wife, the rights of the wife over her husband and the rights of the husband over his wife. However, there is a problem imposing itself here regarding determining the exact description of the wife's service to her husband: is it a right for the husband; the result of which would hold the wife responsible for any failure or inadequate observance of that right? Or is it optional for her to serve him because the only thing she is obliged to do towards him is the sexual pleasure?
This issue is debatable among Islāmic jurists, although it is needless of clarification that the normal duties of the wife are to serve the husband and children and to handle the affairs of her house. This is a natural duty required by the shareable rights between the married couple and one of the major factors in maintaining the integrity and coherence of the family, in addition to raising a fine and disciplined generation.

Brought to us by the Ethiopian scholar Shaykh Muḥammad Amān al-Jāmi, Islām in Africa Throughout History chronicles three significant phases of Islām in Africa which helped shape the world. This classic manuscript begins with the courageous stance of the Abyssinian king an-Najāshi, which shook Heraclius of Rome, defied the tribes of Makkah while influencing the kings of Oman, and even softened the hearts of Prophet Muḥammad's staunchest adversaries.
The second part recounts two waves of da'wah in Africa: the Arab merchants and the Ṣūfis, both of which left a lasting imprint upon the continent.
The third part details the scholars who led the revival of the Salafi da'wah in Africa and advises the students of knowledge about the future of Islām in Africa.

Description from back of book:
This is a translation of Shaykh Aḥmad al-Najmī's explanation of al-Qāṣīdah al-Lāmīyah, which is ascribed to Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymīyah. It comprises of only 16 verses of poetry, clarifying a number of core beliefs of Ahl al-Sunnah Wa al-Jamāʿah. Thus, it is easy to memorize, and a great starting point for a child or a beginner in knowledge.
This poem has a written manuscript in Jāmiʿah Malik Saud (no. 6/1928), and it is found alongside two other works, al-Wasīyah al-Kubra and al-Adillah al-Bayyinah, both of which are known works of Ibn Taymīyah.
It has been mentioned by the Scholar of Iraq, Nʿumān al-Ālūsī, in his excellent book Jalā al-ʿAynayn Lī Muhākamah al-Aḥmadayn, and Shaykh ʿAbd al-Salām b. Burjis mentioned this poem as being amongst the poetry of Ibn Taymīyah in his work al-Ṣaḥīḥ Min al-Naẓm al-Faṣīḥ Lī Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymīyah; and a number of Scholars have explanations of this poem, from them is Shaykh Ahmad al-Mardawī (d. 1236H) written almost two hundred years ago.
Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymīyah (V) said:
"As for Ahl al-Sunnah Wa al-Ḥadīth, then it is not known that any of their scholars nor righteous common-folk ever renounced their doctrine and creed. Rather, they were the most patient of the people upon that, even if they were tested with all types of tests and trialed with all types of tribulations." Naqḍ al-Manṭiq, p. 42.

Two people who have been briefed on the Big 12's decision tell The Associated Press that the conference is not planning on expansion.
The officials spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the conference had planned an announcement later Monday and had asked the schools involved not to speak publicly.
The decision came down after a six-hour meeting with university presidents and Commissioner Bob Bowlsby. A news conference is still planned for 5:30 p.m. with Bowlsby and Oklahoma President David Boren.
Bowlsby called the schools hoping to be added to the Big 12 to inform them of the board's decision.
Big 12 officials held interviews in September with Air Force, BYU, Central Florida, Cincinnati, Colorado State, Connecticut, Houston, Rice, South Florida, SMU and Tulane.
Renu Khator, UH President and UH System Chancellor, released the following statement:
"The Big 12's decision in no way changes the mission of the University of Houston that began long before there was talk of conference expansion. UH is a diverse, Tier One research institution that is on the move. We remain committed to strengthening our nationally competitive programs in academics and athletics that allow our student athletes to compete on the national stage. We are confident that in this competitive collegiate athletics landscape an established program with a history of winning championships and a demonstrated commitment to talent and facilities in the nation's fourth largest city will find its rightful place. Our destiny belongs to us."
Hunter Yurachek, UH Vice President of Athletics, also released a statement:
"Today's news is not just about the University of Houston and the Big 12 Conference, it's about the evolving landscape of collegiate athletics. It does not, and will not, deter our mission of building champions for life. Our goals, which were in place long before expansion conversation began, will not change. As a progressive Tier One institution that places a competitive emphasis on both academics and athletics, the University of Houston will continue to operate in the national spotlight in one of the nation's premier athletic conferences and dynamic cities."
UH Board of Regents Chairman Tilman Fertitta also reacted to the Big 12's decision in a Skype interview with KHOU's Daniel Gotera.
The Big 12 has been analyzing expansion options for the last three months, but it never made a commitment to adding to its 10 members.
The Big 12 has been tossing around the idea of expansion for almost two years as it tries to find ways to increase revenue and improve the conference's chances to make the College Football Playoff. The Big 12 was left out of the first CFP in 2014, but conference champion Oklahoma made the playoff last season.
Boren has said the Big 12 was "psychologically disadvantaged" by being the smallest Power Five league and the only one without a football championship game.
This past offseason, expansion talk got fired up again. The Big 12 announced it was bringing back its football championship game in 2017, no matter what its composition. But with only 10 teams, a title game is not a natural fit.
In June, the conference announced record payouts to members of $30 million each, and expansion talk again seemed to fade.
In July, the presidents were briefed by consultants who explained how the conference could increase its playoff chances by adding schools and increase its revenue. The Big 12's TV contracts call for ESPN and Fox to increase their payouts to the conference so that any new member would be making what the current members are making, which is about $25 million.
It was after that last board meeting that the Big 12 announced the presidents had given Bowlsby the go-ahead to do a deep-dive on expansion and possible candidates. Boren and Bowlsby said the conference would consider adding two or four new members. Or none.
Two new members would mean an extra $50 million in TV revenue per season for the Big 12 on contracts that runs through 2025. And the current members would share the majority of that money at first. TCU and West Virginia joined the Big 12 in 2012, but they did not receive full revenue shares until this year.
The networks have not been keen on the idea of paying the Big 12 to add schools.
"We don't think expansion in the Big 12 is a good idea for the conference. We think it will be dilutive to the product in the short term. In the long term, it's probably harmful to the future of the conference," Fox Sports President Eric Shanks said earlier this month at Sports Media and Technology conference, according to the Sports Business Journal.
The networks could offer the Big 12 a smaller increase in rights fees and possibly an extension on its TV deal for not expanding.

This week, American Idol Audition Hell wends its way to the cornfields of Omaha, Nebraska for the first time. Though the rolling fields and wide-open spaces are as Norman Rockwell-pretty as anyone could want, one audition hopeful complains that Omaha is not that exciting. Also not exciting the sixty minutes allotted to the Cornhusker State yields exactly 5.5 good auditions for our viewing pleasure. Thats a pretty chintzy harvest especially considering Simon is being nice this season.
While Paulas away, the boys will play
Paula Abduls flight has been delayed, so Randy and Simon scootch closer together at the judges table and fantasize about what it would be like to split Paulas paycheck between them and just go with a two-person panel. Their daydreams come to a crashing halt with the appearance of Chris Bernheisel, age 24. Sadly, Chris has been waiting for seven years to audition for AI, as he couldnt afford to travel to any of the previous audition cities. In spite of all this, Chris remains wildly optimistic, and expects his audition to go so well, happiness will go flying everywhere. In order to facilitate flying happiness, Chris has brought the judges presents. He proudly passes out a couple of stuffed dogs and a t-shirt for Simon, then displays a photo album containing pictures of himself with Kelly Clarkson. Then, apparently feeling he hasnt made quite enough of an impression, snivels dramatically to Simon and Randy about how his Idol dreams have finally come true - sort of. His version of Since Youve Been Gone is a wretched mess, made worse by an impromptu handstand in the middle of his performance. Simon, who obviously finds the country air very relaxing, chuckles that he likes Chris, and loves the bribes, but his singing just isnt good enough. Chris lower lip trembles, and Simon quickly admonishes him not to feel bad, because hes a nice guy. Chris recovers enough to ask if he can audition for the AI red carpet, and Simon tells him to advise the local FOX affiliate that he & Randy want to see Chris on TV, doing Seacrests job. Ah, now the happiness is truly flying! Chris is wildly grateful, and bounds excitedly out of the audition room to tell the news to his family, while FOX Omaha scrambles to post a picture of Chris in their security office.
Jason Rich, 21, is a humble Iowa farmboy. In fact, hes so humbled to be in the presence of Simon and Randy, he completely forgets the words to When You Say Nothing At All. Indeed, it looks like nothing is exactly what Jason will be singing today, because he cant get past the first line of the song. Even that nerve-wracked first line shows promise, however, and Simon and Randy encourage him to breathe and try again. Finally, Jason manages several bars of the song, and displays a nice, boy-bandish singing voice. Randy thinks he sounds good, and votes yes. Simon likes him, and agrees to put him through, but not before warning Jason that hed better get his nerves under control because he wont get a second chance again.
AI Smackdown 2008
Paula finally arrives, fashionably late, just in time for a montage of hapless midwesterners who cant remember the lyrics to their audition songs. Welcome back, Paula. On to the good stuff, in the form of 23-year-old Rachel Wicker. Rachel is an arm-wrestler, and shes tough enough to withstand Ryan Seacrests attempts to beat her. Oh, Ryan, your personal trainer is so going to kick your ass for letting a chick show you up like that. Rachel challenges Simon to a contest, but Simon wont be drawn in, figuring that shell probably beat him. Rachel is auditioning with Leanne Womacks Dont Tell Me to Stop Loving You, and she proves to be a very competent country singer as well as a good person to have on your side in a fight. Simon, who still hasnt acquired a taste for twang, moans that her performance is that of someone whos at the end of a 50-year career. Randy isnt crazy about Rachels half-yodel but after some brief hemming and hawing, votes yes. Paula likes Rachel and gives her a yes vote, sending her to Hollywood, but first wants a go with the lady arm-wrestler. Rachel, looking anxious and unwilling to hurt the diminutive Paula, gently pins her wrist and escapes with her golden ticket.
Sarah Whitaker, 25, is a former goth pro wrestler. Well, shes still goth, but has retired her Lady Morgue persona. She puts a few moves on Ryan for some laughs, and unleashes her trademark laugh, a screeching cackle that would do Morticia Addams proud. Her singing is no less scary than her makeup its half Julie Andrews and half Amy Lee, after throat surgery. Simon is horror-stricken, and comments that Sarahs song is the soundtrack to this town just plain weird.
Ryan quits his day job
Ryan, either intimidated by Lady Morgue or annoyed with his lack of screentime during the audition rounds thus far, sidles into the audition room to complain about Sarahs elimination. The judges suggest he trade jobs with Paula, who then flounces into the holding room to hobnob with the commoners, while Ryan takes her seat at the table. Ryan doesnt seem to be taking the little game with the jovial good-natured spirit its wanting, however, and snipes, How do I pretend to be overpaid for doing no work? Seriously, dude, you should have had more than enough practice at that by now. Into the melee steps sweet little Samantha Sidley, 22, who looks confused by the stars antics but bravely declares herself to be the next American Idol. Samantha does indeed have a lovely, controlled voice, nicely displayed with her performance of Norah Jones Dont Know Why. Pushed to offer a critique, Ryan likes her voice but thinks she needs to work on her confidence. Simon and Randy jeer at him, and Paula pops her head in to protest. Ryan shuffles out of the room, calling out to Samantha that he would have voted yes. Paula rejoins Simon & Randy, and comments that while Samanthas showmanship needs work (which she was able to view through the door, I suppose), but gives her a yes. Randy agrees, and Simon bestows a fourth yes for an absolute-guaranteed trip to Hollywood.
With all the fun going on, theres only time to show snippets of what looks like three very good auditions indeed, courtesy of Elizabeth Erket, Denise Jackson, and Michael Sanfilippo, who are all golden ticket winners. Another unnamed successful auditioner announces that shes going to prove shes Americas Next Top Model. Your confusion is fierce, hon, and Im sure Tyra appreciates the plug.
17-year-old Angelica Puente has family issues, and a rather painful pre-audition interview reveals that although shes estranged from her dad, he thinks enough of her to have paid to send her to Omaha. Angelica admits to the judges that shes nervous, and Simon encourages her to picture Randy in a bikini. And just after Id finally managed to scrub that mental picture from my mind. Angelica is taking on the old-and-often-mangled AI standby, The Power of Love, but proves shes able to emote very well and can hold her own in the diva line. Paula bemoans her lack of performance skills, but believes shes promising enough for a yes. Randy is also a yes vote, and Simon thinks that Angelica will be very good with a bit of effort. In the holding room, Ryan dials Angelicas dad with the good news, and Dad touchingly says that shes always been her American Idol.
Between a rocker and a weird place
The success of Chris Daughtry has apparently encouraged would-be rockers to come out in droves to audition, presuming that a rocker means a guy with long stringy hair. The guy bringing something a little different is 24-year-old David Cook, who sports a raggedy half-Mohawk and a slightly surly look. David auditions with Living on a Prayer, and although I wish hed picked just about any other song, he has a great voice with just the right amount of raspy edge. Simon is pleased, and Randy thinks hes really good but needs to work on his persona. Paula also likes David, and hes off to Hollywood.
Johnny Escamilla, 18, claims to be one of the weirdest guys youll ever meet. Lets just clear that up right away hes not one of the weirdest, but hes most definitely one of the most tiresome. His gold-sequined jacket causes actual indigestion, as Paula lets out a most unladylike and noisy hiccup when Johnny takes his place in front of the judges. Johnny is opting to sing Shout, and never mind his inability to sing his dancing ability makes John Belushis turn in Animal House look like Gregory Hines in White Nights. Simon briskly tells Johnny that hes quite simply everything I hate(d), and Johnny disappears back into anonymity.
Its not the last seven minutes without a clipfest of suckage, set to the tune of Steelers Wheels Stuck In The Middle (With You). Saving the day is Leo Marlowe, age 23, who also hails from small-town Iowa. Simon asks Leo if hes one of the popular guys in his village of 200 residents, and Leo quips that his mom says she raised the perfect homecoming queen too bad it wasnt one of her daughters. The judges all chuckle merrily, and are rightly pleased with Leos version of A Song For You the best has once again been saved for last, as Leo is not only personable but a talented vocalist. If Johnny was everything that Simon hated, Leo is everything that Simon likes, and gets an emphatic yes vote. Paula thinks Leo scored a touchdown, and Randy smilingly hands Leo his golden ticket.
The end-of-the-day tally is 19 Nebraska hopefuls on their way to Hollywood, proving that theres more than just corn in the Midwest. Tomorrow, the always fabulous MotherSister leads the conga line to sunny Miami. Adios till next week!

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello, I am solicitor with 20 years experience. I will try to help yo with this.
Are you leasing this car as an individual and for how long?
an individual for 4 years
Did you enter the contract face to face, on line or in some other way?
it was over the internet but contracts were posted back after being received by email
Lex Autolease are regulated by the FCA so are saying they governed exclusively by their regulations
I am trying to establish if this is 'exclusive' or if they would also fall under the consumer contracts regulation which replaced the distance selling directive
Ok so they are saying that this in not a sale and therefore not covered by by the Consumer Contract Regulations?
they have not given that level of detail but they are saying are only saying they regulated by the FCA and its falls within distance marketing regulation not consumer contracts
they have not specifically said it is not a sale but i think that is what they are implying
The regulations referred to above apply to sale contracts but not to hire contracts. I fear that Lex may be correct.
how would I establish it for sure?
what would be the next steps
so far I have not learned anything new
This would seem to exclude leasing contracts.
This is how the regulations you are trying to engage start
"Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation andAdditional Charges) RegulationsIf you are a trader selling goods, services or digital content to aconsumer, these regulations will apply to you"
I thought I had answered your question. How else can I help?

- Description
Bringing unbeatable performance power into a modest price bracket Roland's HP504 will grab players of all levels attention. The HP504 is a modern classic containing cutting edge technologies and coating it with an elegant, understated look that will bring a touch of class into your home.
The SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine found in all Roland pianos has been enhanced even further for the HP504 with a dynamic harmonic feature for fortissimo playing. The new PHA-4 premium keyboard with escapement and ivory feel includes the latest touch-sensing technology to fully explore SuperNATURAL Piano's rich tonal variations and natural dynamics and provides a playing experience that even the most discerning pianist will find unbeatably authentic.
One of the great benefits of using a digital piano is the option of silent practice whenever needed with the use of headphones. The Roland HP504 exceeds expectation here too with its rich, immersive 3D ambience effect. This sound experience makes practising with headphones even more involved and inspiring further encouraging practice, whatever the time of day.
Even more benefits of the Roland HP504 includes a built-in recorder so you can record your playing, and then listen back to evaluate your skills and even play along with yourself for others. You can connect an optional USB key to the HP504 containing your favourite songs and listen to them through the HP504's speakers and perform along with the song. Given the style you wish to play, you have the choice of authentic grand pianos, rich electric pianos, jazz organs and lush strings. With Roland, you can be sure you'll get some of the best sounds in the business!
Practical and fun
Thanks to the available piano partner apps from the app store, you can enhance your learning experience with further fun exercises. The piano partner app is very easy to use and is great to encourage learners old and young as well as enhancing how you interact with the HP504.
The Roland HP504 is yet another shining example of the consistently inspirational digital pianos that are synonymous with Roland. Authenticity, user friendly technology and beautiful design are all here for players of all levels.
The new piano designer app for iOS and Android
Roland have released Piano Designer for both iOS and Android platforms. This intuitive app gives you the power to tweak your piano sound to your exact specification! Giving you access to control all the elements that naturally shape the piano's sound, this free app also includes many settings that were crafted by world-leading piano technicians!
10 year warranty
Roland believe that a manufacturer's warranty is a statement about how reliable the product is, and so they'd like to say something loud and clear: a Roland digital piano is meant to be played for many years to come, and they're so confident that it won't let you down that they're providing a 10 year warranty, for free, on their HP and LX ranges.
The Roland 10 year warranty protects your piano against failure due to faulty manufacture and is the longest warranty period on the market. They can do this because they've been making digital pianos for more than four decades, so they have a pretty good idea of what it means to be reliable, with an exceptional level of durability and craftsmanship inside and out. All registered owners of these will also be automatically upgraded to the ten year warranty too.

If you're new to this series and want to check it out from the beginning, you can find that here. And look here for a list of all the programming articles.
In Part 37 we talked about using the optimization feature of the Strategy Tester (ST), how to interpret the Optimization Graph and Optimization Report tabs and how to pass that data to the inputs to run a more detailed test. This installment we'll discuss more about the ST report.
Before proceeding with the Report tab, briefly click on the Optimization Results tab. An interesting feature I failed to point out in our last installment is that you can click on any of the titles in the title bar of the report to sort the report by that column. First time you click a title, it will sort by that column in an ascending fashion (lowest to highest), next click will re-sort in descending fashion (highest to lowest.) A triangle will appear to the right of the title to indicate the direction of the sort. I know that's pretty much a standard Windows-type function, but MetaQuotes hasn't implemented too many standard Windows functions into MT4.
Now that we've performed a detailed test of one of the sets of inputs derived from our optimization, take another look at the tabs below the ST. You'll notice the two Optimization tabs are still there. They still contain the results of the last optimization test so we can refer back to them periodically to get the inputs for other detailed tests.
As I mentioned in the last installment, you can save each individual detailed test report by right-clicking on the report and selecting Save As Report. To the left, you see an example of the report that is generated. I've marked several of the available bits of information you can glean from this report. Since I started this series with the understanding that my readers were already traders, I'm not going to go into detail as to how to use this information to vet your strategy. I just want to point out the wealth of information available. As a confessed chart/statistics junkie, this report makes me very happy.
I will point out that every trade taken by the ST is recorded on this report with the results and the account balance. You can also see the percentage of winning/losing trades, the average win/loss size and the number of consecutive wins/losses. All this information is vital in developing a complete strategy that includes money management. The chart is also helpful in determining if the trade is a consistent winner or if it was profitable due to only one or two trades.
In addition to the Report tab, you also have the Results tab, which shows all the trade events (opens, closes, modifications, etc.) The Graph tab, which shows the graph that appears on the report. And the journal tab which shows both the output of the tester (trades that closed or changed due to non-EA events like stopouts) and the Experts Log type events generated by the EA. The journal portion of the ST, like the live Experts Log, is very useful if you are testing an EA for functionality.
We took a detour in discussing the Strategy Tester for use beyond that which we as programmers would use it. Normally a programmer would not need to analyze the effectiveness of the strategy – we would have to put our trader's hat back on if we were going to do that. But since we've already fallen off that bridge, we may as well hit the water swimming. Next installment we'll discuss getting good data for testing your strategy. After that, we'll jump back into cool new modifications for our EA. But for now, we'll just wrap it up for today.
Thanks for your attention and please follow me on Twitter and LinkedIn.

An element of serving on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly or school board is running for office. Because, by law assembly and school board member boundaries are adjusted after each census, so each member represents the same number of constituents, those whose area change by more than 10 percent must stand for election, even though their term would not normally be up. That occurred to me in 2002.
This is my third regular term, but I ran four election campaigns. I seriously debated a third term, and did so to complete work and at the urging of my constituents. I will not run again.
Therefore, Borough Propositions 2 and 3, term limits, will have no impact on my tenure. But both of those propositions deeply concern me. I find it disturbing that the sponsors are targeting those local entities that are most closely tied to the local electorate, with the possible exception of city councils.
We are your neighbors. You see us and visit with us in the post office, at the market and local events. We are the ones you call when you need help dealing with the borough.
The argument supporting the term limits is that incumbents can't be ousted. That is not true. When Dan Chay challenged incumbent John Davis who incidentally owns a very popular local radio station, it was Dan who prevailed. Likewise, Betty Glick ousted Tim Navarre from his seat, and Betty herself lost that seat to Margaret Gilman last year. In that election, Gary Knop ran against Kelly Wolf, and Gary prevailed.
Name recognition does not mean an automatic win. I think job performance does.
Unfortunately, the sponsors not only targeted the term limits, but also several members now running, who if they win at the ballot box, may not be seated and will certainly invite a lawsuit, which is not in the best interest of the borough taxpayers. And then there is the issue of not being able to run for three years.
So, in the year 2010 comes the next census. If a member of assembly or school board, and I assume several will, have to stand for election again, does that count as another term? Are they ousted for three years? Is that in the best interest of the voters? I don't think so.
These two propositions leave a lot more questions than they answer. The voters have the power to limit terms without this. You have those options right now. Don't vote those away.
I urge you to protect your ballot box rights. Please vote "No" on borough Propositions 2 and 3.

Cullinan Named EWU President
Published: June 16, 2014
CHENEY, Wash. - The Eastern Washington University Board of Trustees (BOT) has named Mary Cullinan, PhD, the 26th president of Eastern Washington University, effective Aug. 1.
Cullinan has served as president of Southern Oregon University (SOU) in Ashland, Oregon, since 2006 and brings 34 years of extensive higher education experience to the Cheney campus.
"We are thrilled to have someone of Dr. Cullinan's caliber come to Eastern Washington University," said BOT Chair Paul Tanaka. "Her tremendous academic and leadership experience, along with her focus on student success, make her an ideal choice to serve as president of Eastern."
During her eight years at SOU, Cullinan led SOU to identify and implement a strategic vision for success that focused purposefully on access and success for all students. She believes her passion for student success aligns well with Eastern's long commitment to helping students, especially first-generation and those who come from under-represented populations.
"I am thrilled to accept the position of president of Eastern Washington University," said Cullinan. "EWU is a vibrant institution with powerful commitments to student success and strong connections with the region. It will be an honor to serve as president."
Prior to taking over at Southern Oregon, Cullinan served as provost and vice president for academic affairs at Stephen F. Austin University in Texas from 2003 to 2006. She also has substantial experience at two universities in the California State University system, including seven years at California State University, Stanislaus, where she served as dean of the College of Arts, Letters and Sciences and professor of English.
Cullinan was selected from a pool of candidates compiled after a nationwide search that began after EWU President Rodolfo Arévalo, PhD, announced his retirement earlier this year.
"Dr. Cullinan will continue our mission of working for the success of all students at Eastern," said Arévalo. "She and I currently sit on the board of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, and I believe she shares the important passion and values EWU needs to keep moving forward."
Cullinan earned her MA (1973) and PhD (1978) in English literature from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She received her BA degree from the University of Pennsylvania (1972).

Horror comic in English Horror comics are comic books, graphic novels, black-and-white comics magazines, and manga focusing on horror fiction. In the US market, horror comic books reached a peak in the late 1940s through the mid-1950s, when concern over content and the imposition of the self-censorship Comics Code Authority contributed to the demise of many titles and the toning down of others. Black-and-white horror-comics magazines, which did not fall under the Code, flourished from the mid-1960s through the early 1980s from a variety of publishers. Mainstream American color comic books experienced a horror resurgence in the 1970s, following a loosening of the Code. While the genre has had greater and lesser periods of popularity, it occupies a firm niche in comics as of the 2010s. See more at Wikipedia.org...

The overtime bill at Lotus must be huge. Not only has the company unveiled plans to take on seemingly everyone with a range of five new models over the next five years, it has also had engineers putting in extra shifts to bring us this, the supercharged Evora S.
The S is a more powerful, more focused version of Lotuss current flagship, arriving just a year after the standard Evora went on sale. With the help of that supercharger, the power and torque of the Evoras Toyota-sourced 3.5-litre V6 rise by 70bhp and 38lb ft respectively, and theres been much fettling of the suspension to improve lateral stiffness (better for grip and roll control) without hurting the standard cars outstanding ride.
A new all-singing, all-dancing stability control system also gets its debut on the S, and will become standard on every Lotus from January, while there are option packs galore, containing luxuries youd think would be more appropriate to a Toyota Camry than a Lotus.
So, the Evora S is a bit of a confused soul, then? Dont you believe it. Stick it on the kind of road where the engineers work matters more than the efforts of the marketing people and its in its element. Its fast and grippy and it sounds great and tells you everything its doing. It even rides better than many a family saloon. What impresses you most, though is the absolute precision with which it does everything. So, its neither a track-day special nor a GT, yet you could happily use it as either.
Admittedly, the rear view is rubbish, the ergonomics are a mess and the instruments are largely unreadable, but this merely emphasises that despite the optional touch-screen navigation, heated seats or parking sensors the Evora S has its heart in the right place. It does the important stuff properly. That overtime cash has been well spent.

A car for people who love to drive. Thats fine by us

... for helping spread word of the Gospel of John
I am writing to express the deep appreciation of all of us involved in the recent Alaska Tour of the Gospel of John with professional actor Brad Sherrill.
The factual and perceptive interview by your arts editor, Korry Keeker, in your Oct. 14, edition; the article in the Capital City Weekly and the interview with Brad on KTOO were of significant help in generating a fine audience for this singular event. There were 1,185 persons in attendance at the eight performances in five Alaskan communities.
Special thanks is also due to Tom Dahl for his good work as the local coordinator and the efforts of the Juneau Cooperative Church Council. Many persons shared with me that the performance really brought the words of the New Testament to life and that they were deeply moved by the experience.
A dollar doesn't buy much in Alaska, but it goes a long way in the developing world. The $5,500 raised by the tour will provide basic nutrition for 605 children for an entire month. These funds will be distributed through the relief agencies of the nine major church groups that sponsored the tour.
Thanks to the good people of Juneau for helping us make the tour such a success.

Has this happened to anyone else and what did you do?
One item was purchased before my shower back in July. I called BBB eventually to make sure it wasn't stolen from the mail but they said someone came in the store and bought it. I just think it's strange, maybe they decided to return it? It was something I really wanted too. Also, a few other things I have never received.
Registry items never received

It's interesting that Obama's praise of Ronald Reagan came several days before a holiday honoring a man whose vision for America truly transcended politics, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Reagan didn't support such a holiday - his famous "states' rights" proclamation in Neshoba County and his dismal record on civil rights issues showed that the Gipper wasn't a friend to the idea of racial equality. But back in 1983, when Congress knew that it had power over the executive and that an overwhelming majority in favor of a law meant that it would be passed anyway, the president capitulated to the Congress.
How quaint.
This is probably around when opponents to equality, both racial and economic, realized that making people hate King or his message would a Sisyphean task. So instead they set about to rewrite history and re-create Dr. King in their image, and thus tried to get the rest of us to scale back our dreams of what this country could be.

Published: June 24, 2007
Sometimes, Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins, the first catcher to win an American League batting title, misses the frantic and physical side of football. Mauer, naturally, was a high school quarterback.
''You miss throwing those deep routes or those deep outs,'' Mauer said, his eyes peeking upward as if he were watching a spiral sail. ''That's what I really enjoyed.''
Mauer was not just any high school quarterback for Cretin-Derham Hall in St. Paul. He was the best quarterback in the country in 2001 after passing for 3,022 yards and 41 touchdowns. Mauer had a scholarship to Florida State, but the Twins selected him first in the amateur draft and he opted to play baseball.
If Mauer, 24, had attended college for four years and advanced to the N.F.L., he would be preparing for his second season as a pro. Mauer occasionally wonders how he would be faring as an N.F.L. quarterback. He spoke with Jets running back Leon Washington at Shea Stadium on Tuesday about how they could have been teammates at Florida State.
''I met him at the Super Bowl,'' Mauer said. ''I could have been handing the ball off to him or somehow getting him the ball and letting him do his thing.''
When Mauer was a young quarterback, he said he patterned himself after Joe Montana. If Mauer was still playing quarterback, he said he would try to emulate Tom Brady. Obviously, Mauer prefers pursuing excellence.
''A catcher is kind of the baseball version of a quarterback,'' Mauer said. ''You're in the middle of everything and calling the shots, stuff like that.''
While Mauer was at Cretin-Derham, he helped the school win state titles in baseball, football and basketball. Yes, Mauer was a superb hoops player as well.
''I played basketball in high school,'' said Mauer, making sure his sports r?m?as complete. ''I miss basketball, too.''

Tadweer hosts fun activities for children on environment conservation at Abu Dhabi Library Festival
Tadweer (Center of Waste Management – Abu Dhabi), is hosting a series of fun activities on environment conservation for children at Abu Dhabi Library Festival that is set to conclude end of August.
Hosted by the Abu Dhabi City Municipality in collaboration with the Tourism and Culture Authority, the festival seeks to raise awareness on the benefits of reading and adopting a sustainable way of life during the school summer holidays.
Tadweer's outreach activities as part of the festival include sessions on the importance of hygiene and environmental conservation. Simple to adopt practices on reuse and recycling are also being highlighted to encourage the reduction of waste generation.
The significance of waste segregation at source using colour-coded trash cans – green containers for recyclable waste such as paper, tin cans, glass and plastic and black containers for waste that cannot be recycled – are also being communicated to the young audience at the festival.
The Tadweer team is additionally distributing 'Khadra and Soudeh' cartoon CDs to encourage the effective segregation of waste. Participants are also being given the chance to win prizes during the competitions held throughout the festival.
Khaled Al Bloushi, Public Awareness Section Head at Tadweer (Center of Waste Management – Abu Dhabi), said: "Our participation in the Library Festival follows last year's successful collaboration and reiterates our commitment and responsibility to this critical segment of society – children. Tadweer understands the importance of joint action to push forward innovation and excellence among our children. Establishing the reading habit as part of the child's daily schedule is important for the development of cognitive perceptions. Through such activities, we also seek to raise awareness on the need to preserve and protect the environment from harmful pollutants, and eventually set the stage for creating a sustainable, clean and safe environment that we can all be proud of."
Fatima Al Harmoudi, Public Awareness Officer – Tadweer (Center of Waste Management – Abu Dhabi), said: "Through entertainment programs and a variety of educational and cultural activities, Tadweer is encouraging children to strengthen their reading skills. We are also motivating our young audiences at the festival to get curious and ask more questions, even as they enjoy a range of exciting games and competitions.
"Tadweer is equally keen to educate parents on the importance of instilling a love for the environment in children and helping them take ownership for maintaining the general cleanliness of the city. We encourage all residents and visitors to the emirate to dispose of their waste in the designated areas."
Tadweer (Center of Waste Management – Abu Dhabi) is keen to participate in all community-based initiatives and play an active role in influencing social behaviour for the ultimate benefit of the larger general public. Through forging collaborations with public and private sector institutions and entities, Tadweer aims to achieve a sustainable environment in Abu Dhabi as envisioned by Abu Dhabi Vision 2030.

Rapid Thermal Annealing of GaN EpiLayer grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy
Choi, Sung-Jai ; Lee, Won-Sik ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 7~13
We have investigated effects of the rapid thermal annealing of GaN epilayers by molecular beam epitaxy in nitrogen atmosphere. The improvement of structural properties of the samples was observed after rapid thermal annealing under optimum conditions. This improvement in crystal quality is due to a reduction of the spread in the lattice parameter in epilayers. The annealing has been performed in a rapid thermal annealing furnace at
. The effect of rapid thermal annealing on the structural properties of GaN was studied by x-ray diffraction. The Bragg peak shifts toward larger angle as the annealing time increases. As the thermal treatment time increases, FWHM(full width at half maximum) of the peak slightly increase with its decreases followed and it increases again. Results demonstrate that rapid thermal annealing did not always promote qualities of GaN epilayers. However, rapid thermal annealing under optimum conditions improve structural properties of the samples, elevating their crystal quality with a reduction of inaccuracy in the lattice parameter of the epilayers.
A Vertical Handover Scheme Using Proxy Binding Update
Park, Hee-Dong ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 15~20
This paper proposes a multihoming-based vertical handover scheme using Proxy binding update to minimize handover delay and packet loss while a mobile node moves to a heterogeneous access network. When a mobile node moves to a heterogeneous access network, the proposed scheme can provide a mobile node with fast and seamless handover by performing layer-3 handover using its new interface while the other interface is still communicating in the old access network. The proposed Proxy binding update is different from the Mobile IP binding update in that it includes home addres (HoA) of the old interface instead of the new interface. The performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme can efficiently reduce vertical handover delay and packet loss.
Cross-Lingual Text Retrieval Based on a Knowledge Base
Choi, Myeong-Bok ; Jo, Jun ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 21~32
User query formation highly acts on the effectiveness of information retrieval when we retrieve documents from the general domain as a web. This thesis proposes a intelligent information retrieval method based on a cross-lingual knowledge base to effectively perform a cross-lingual text retrieval from the web. The inferred knowledge from the cross-lingual knowledge base helps user's word association to make up user query easily and exactly for effective cross-lingual text information retrieval. This thesis develops user's query reformation algorithm and experiments it with Korean and English web. Experimental results show that the algorithm based on the proposed knowledge base is much more effective than without knowledge base in the cross-lingual text retrieval.
Design of Frequency-Selective Reflector for Large Reflecting Antennas using a Periodic Dielectric Layer
Ho, Kwang-Chun ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 33~38
This paper examines the feasibility of using periodically varying dielectric layers with dielectric constant
at millimeter wave frequency for implementing the frequency-selective reflectors that permit feed separation in large aperture reflecting antenna systems. For oblique incidence, it is found that the total reflection can be obtained at different frequencies for proper choices of
and the geometric parameters. In the frequency-selective reflector designed, the bandwidth for 90% reflection is always found to be much narrower than that for 90% transmission.
Performance of Tactics Mobile Communication System Based on UWB with Double Binary Turbo Code in Multi-User Interference Environments
Kim, Eun-Cheol ; Seo, Sung-Il ; Kim, Jin-Young ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 39~50
In this paper, we analyze and simulate the performance of a tactics mobile communication system based on ultra wide band (UWB) in multi-user interference (MUI) environments. This system adopts a double binary turbo code for forward error correction (FEC). Wireless channel is modeled a modified Saleh and Valenzuela (SV) model. We employ a space time block coding (STBC) scheme for enhancing system performance. System performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the tactics mobile communication system based on UWB, which is encoded with the double binary turbo code, can achieve a remarkable coding gain with reasonable encoding and decoding complexity in multi-user interference environments. It is also known that the bit error probability performance of the tactics mobile communication system based on UWB can be substantially improved by increasing the number of iterations in the decoding process for a fixed cod rate. Besides, we can demonstrate that the double binary turbo coding scheme is very effective for increasing the number of simultaneous users for a given bit error probability requirement.

Lee, Yeon-Soo ; Park, Young-B. ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 51~55
Tele-marketing service has been provided through voice media in a several places such as modern call centers. In modern call centers, they are trying to measure their service quality, and one of the measuring method is a extracting speaker's feeling information in their voice. In this study, it is proposed to analyze speaker's voice in order to extract their feeling information. For this purpose, a person's feeling is categorized by analyzing several types of signal parameters in the voice signal. A person's feeling can be categorized in four different states: joy, sorrow, excitement, and normality. In a normal condition, excited or angry state can be major factor of service quality. In this paper, it is proposed to select a conversation with problems by extracting the speaker's feeling information based on pitches and amplitudes of voice.

O, Ji-Soo ; Kang, Jeong-Jin ; Lim, Myung-Jae ; Lee, Ki-Young ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 57~62
Recently in the mobile market, the communication technology which bases on the sense of sight, sound, and touch has been developed. However, human beings uses all five - vision, auditory, palatory, olfactory, and tactile - senses to communicate. Therefore, the current paper presents a technology which enables individuals to be aware of other people's emotions through a machinery device. This is achieved by the machine perceiving the tone of the voice, body temperature, pulse, and other biometric signals to recognize the emotion the dispatching individual is experiencing. Once the emotion is recognized, a scent is emitted to the receiving individual. A system which coordinates the emission of scent according to emotional changes is proposed.

Lim, Chae-Gyun ; Kim, Kyu-Ho ; Lee, Ki-Young ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 63~68
Recently, to accelerate the Ubiquitous generation, the input interface of the mobile machinery and tools are actively being researched. In addition with the existing interfaces such as the keyboard and curser (mouse), other subdivisions including the handwriting, voice, vision, and touch are under research for new interfaces. Especially in the case of small-sized mobile machinery and tools, there is a increasing need for an efficient input interface despite the small screens. This is because, additional installment of other devices are strictly limited due to its size. Previous studies on handwriting recognition have generally been based on either two-dimensional images or algorithms which identify handwritten data inserted through vectors. Futhermore, previous studies have only focused on how to enhance the accuracy of the handwriting recognition algorithms. However, a problem arisen is that when an actual handwriting is inserted, the user must select the classification of their characters (e.g Upper or lower case English, Hangul - Korean alphabet, numbers). To solve the given problem, the current study presents a system which distinguishes different languages by analyzing the form/shape of inserted handwritten characters. The proposed technique has treated the handwritten data as sets of vector units. By analyzing the correlation and directivity of each vector units, a more efficient language distinguishing system has been made possible.

H.264 Encoding Technique of Multi-view Image expressed by Layered Depth Image
Kim, Min-Tae ; Jee, Inn-Ho ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 81~90
This paper presents H.264 coding schemes for multi-view video using the concept of layered depth image(LDI) representation and efficient compression technique for LDI. After converting those data to the proposed representation, we encode color, depth, and auxiliary data representing the hierarchical structure, respectively, Two kinds of preprocessing approaches are proposed for multiple color and depth components. In order to compress auxiliary data, we have employed a near lossless coding method. Finally, we have reconstructed the original viewpoints successfully from the decoded approach that is useful for dealing with multiple color and depth data simultaneously.
A Study on the Data Compression Algorithm for Just-in-Time Rendering of Concentric Mosaic
Jee, Inn-Ho ; Ahn, Hong-Yeoung ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 91~96
Concentric mosaics are made with arranging and summing of video frames by using common spacial standards. Compared with previous works on 3-D wavelet transform coding, we have made important design considerations to enable flexible partial decoding and bit-stream random access. A just-in-time(JIT) rendering engine of the compressed concentric mosaic is developed. However, computationally, it is still demanding to accomplish the real-time rendering. Only the contents for specific scene representation are need to be decoded by maintaining compressed data. Thus our proposed algorithm is able to render real concentric mosaic by using lifting scheme instead of wavelet transform.
A Medium Access Mechanism to Support Urgent Message Transmission
Han, Se-Won ; Oh, Young-Bin ; Sim, Jae-Ki ; An, Beoung-Ku ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 97~105
This paper proposes an effective medium access mechanism which is based on IEEE 802.11 to transmit an urgent message, The main features of the proposed mechanism are as follows. First, when it comes to channel access to have high priority, it has a shorter interval between frames than that specified in standard document. Second, we use fixed window size instead of back-off window with an exponential increase. Performance evaluation of proposed mechanism is executed by simulation and compare with the node using the specified mechanism in standard document. Performance evaluation results show that according to increasing competition the nodes using proposed method have less accessing time than the conventional methods. Also, the proposed method can improve processing time because of the decreasing transmission delay.
A Call Service Content Using WIPI
Kim, Sang-Min ; Kim, Su-Yong ; Lee, Han-Na ; An, Beong-Ku ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 107~112
In this paper, we design and implement the contents transferring the location information between a customer and a proxy driver by utilizing 'WIPI.' Customers are able to request a call-service through a client in order to call a proxy driver. And, once a proxy driver who is most adjacent to the customer accepts the order of a call-service from him or her through a location-management server using the concepts of LBS and GPS, 'WIPI' sends the information about the location of the customer to the driver, and also sends information to the custome by calculating the distance from the driver to the customer. This content was modeled based on how information is transferred between a customer and a proxy driver under the mobile circumstance, and also a server and a client, made up from JAVA, were modeled by using SKT emulator.

The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 113~120
In case the traffic accident occurs, skid mark is very important factor to calculate the car speed. Especially, for the purpose of objective and scientific inspection, traffic accidents should be appraised and inspected by righteous material evidences, computer simulation, and studies such as automobile engineering, traveling and collision accident dynamics, road and traffic engineering. In this paper, it displays the results of studying cases with the reasons of traffic accidents by analyzing and studying automobile kinetics, real traffic accidents and the results of in scientific and objective ways. After computer simulation result that it is proved that compared with unpacked road condition and packed road condition. unpacked road condition is shorter than packed road condition.
The Performance improvement of CMA Blind Adaptive equalizer using the Constellation Matching Method
Lim, Seung-Gag ; Kang, Dae-Soo ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 121~127
This paper relates with the improved CMA blind adaptive equalization algorithm which uses the constellation matching method that improve the inverse modelling efficiency of a communication channel compared to the present CMA blind adaptive equalizer. The amplitude distortion can be compensated in the present CMA blind adaptive equalizer which is used for the reduction of intersymbol interference by distortion that generate such as a band limited wireless mobile channel, but in the improved adaptive alogorithm operates with the minimize the amplitude phase distortion in the output of equalizer by applying the cost function that is composition of additional signal constellation matching error terms. In order to evaluation of the inverse modeling efficiency of improved algorithm, the residual intersymbol interference and recovered signal constellation were compared by computer simulation. As a result of comparion of computer simulation, the improved algorithm has a good stability in the residual intersymbol interference in the steady state, but it has a slow convergence rate in the adaptation state in initial state.
The Effects of the Internet Addiction of the Youth according to the Types of Family
Kwon, Mi-Ran ; Yoon, Chy-Woong ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 129~135
This study practically analyzed the relationships of Internet addiction, self-esteem, interpersonal relations and maladjusted behaviors according to family types and in particular, made a practical analysis about whether self-esteem, interpersonal relations and maladjusted behaviors have mediation effects in the relationship between family types and Internet addiction. As a result of regression analysis, the Internet addiction according to family types was a negative relationship and significant. Family types were positively related to self-esteem. As for interpersonal relations, family types were significant as a positive relationship. On the other hand, maladjusted behaviors were proved that they have a negative relationship with family types like the Internet addiction. That is to say, even the mediation effects that family types through self-esteem, interpersonal relations and maladjusted behaviors related to Internet addition were verified. As a result, it was concluded that self-esteem, interpersonal relations and maladjusted behavior factors play mediator roles between family types and Internet addiction.
Intelligence E- Learning System
Hong, You-Sik ; Kim, Cheon-Shik ; Yoon, Eun-Jun ; Jung, Chang-Duk ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 137~144
Cyber lectures have been popular with students as they are more accessible. In this thesis we also created a personal identification confirmation system with RFID as it is quite difficult to confirm who is taking a lecture. In the process of developing the confirmation system, an algorithm enabling real-time identification confirmation, as well as interactive virtual questioning system, was also developed. After the computer simulation test we proved the duplex on-line lecturing system is more effective than the current one-way cyber lecturing system which does not take into consideration students with less/no degree of understanding.
Erlang Capacity of Cognitive Radio Systems Utilizing Buffer for Spectrum Handoff Calls
Pham, Thi Hong Chau ; Koo, In-Soo ;
The Journal of The Institute of Internet, Broadcasting and Communication, volume 10, issue 1, 2010, Pages 145~150
In this paper, the performance of cognitive radio network is analyzed in terms of Erlang capacity. To improve the Erlang capacity with respect to primary user (PU) and secondary user (SU) traffic, we propose an efficient radio resource management scheme utilizing the buffer for new SUs and interrupted SUs. Markov model is developed, and analyzed to derive the performances of the proposed spectrum sharing scheme in both primary system and secondary system. To determine the Erlang capacity region, the blocking probability, the forced termination probability and the non-completion probability are calculated. Simulation results provide insight into the advantages of the buffer utilization. It is observed that the supportable traffic loads of PU and SU can be increased significantly according to the buffer length.

ANCHORAGE - Five mountaineers have died on the treacherous peaks of Denali National Park this season, with four of those deaths occurring over the past week, park officials said Sunday.
Sound off on the important issues at
Andre Callari, 33, of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Brian Postlethwait, 32, of Park City, Utah, were the latest to be identified in the series of fatalities in the Alaska Range on routes that range from moderate to highly technical.
An avalanche swept the men to the base of 7,650-foot Mount Barille, where they were found amidst snow and chunks of ice by park rescue personnel late Friday, said park spokeswoman Kris Fister.
Callari and Postlethwait were attempting a moderate route, called the Japanese Couloir.
Their bodies were flown to Talkeetna, a small town south of the park where climbers charter aircraft to fly them and their gear to any of the hundreds of routes within the park. The families will make arrangements to have the remains flown home from Talkeetna, Fister said.
Word of the two fatalities came shortly after news that another pair of climbers, both experts from Washington state, had fallen to their deaths while descending 20,320-foot Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in North America.
Mizuki Takahashi, 36, died shortly after falling 1,900 feet Thursday night from a point near a challenging route called the West Rib. Her climbing partner, 27-year-old Brian Massey, remained unconscious throughout the evening and died Friday. High winds prevented the park's mountaineering rangers from recovering the bodies until Saturday.
"We're getting off to a difficult start, and the climbing season has just begun," said park spokeswoman Kris Fister. The climbing season starts in late April and tapers off by early July, Fister said.
Last month, 38-year-old Lara-Karena Kellogg of Seattle, a highly experienced climber, died while rappelling down 8,100-foot Mount Wake. The mountain is far smaller than McKinley, but is considered a peak that only top climbers should attempt.
Since 1996, 28 climbers have died in the park, 13 while attempting Mount McKinley, Fister said. He said many people tend to underestimate the Alaska Range because they've climbed higher peaks in other parts of the world.
"The far north location and the two weather systems that slam into the range make things a little more complicated," Fister said. "That's in spite of the fact that the elevations may not be as high as what some mountaineers have experienced."
The park began requiring registration and fees from climbers who attempt Mount McKinley and Mount Foraker, the two highest peaks in the park, after a disastrous 1992 season. A record 13 climbers died that year.

The Rural Alberta Advantage
November 01, 2014 9:00 pm - November 02, 2014 12:00 am
(Save to cal)
with special guest July Talk
In 2006 singer-songwriter Nils Edenloff, percussionist Paul Banwatt, and multi-instrumentalist Amy Cole came together to release their debut self-titled EP as The Rural Alberta Advantage. The ensuing years have brought two full-length albums (2008's Hometowns and 2011's Departing), widespread critical praise (SPIN, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NPR, among others), two Juno Award Nominations (Best New Group, Video of the Year), a Long List Nomination for the Polaris Music Prize, and a hard-earned reputation as one of the most impressive live bands you'll ever see. It was through all of this that The RAA's latest album, Mended With Gold, took shape.
Doors 8 pm | Show 9 pm
The Rural Alberta Advantage
The twelve songs found on the album have been filtered through these experiences and achievements, pushing them to heights previously unreached by the band. While maintaining the heartfelt lyrics, fetching melodies, and explosive percussion that won the band a loyal following worldwide and one of the highest-selling eMusic Selects albums to date with their debut, Mended With Gold makes it clear that The RAA have reached the next level. From the first moments of album opener "Our Love" it becomes unmistakable that these collective experiences has helped the band compose the most fully-realized work of their career.
Two key elements that led to this leap was the band's road warrior status and the chance to take full advantage of their time in the studio this time around. The trio spent months shaping the songs, sometimes first on keyboard, then guitar (and visa versa), and taking others on the road to workshop live.
"We spent this past winter both touring and writing. We'd never combined the two before," Amy reflects, "We'd try out a new song live on stage, listen to the recording of that performance the next day in the van and then repeat the whole process again the next night. I think you can really hear how the three of us came together to shape the songs on this record."
The RAA's long-time live sound engineer, Matt Lederman (Hayden, !!!, Besnard Lakes) was brought into the studio this time around as a key piece towards capturing the live energy of the band for these songs - something the group was intent on reflecting on this album. Teaming up with co-producer Leon Taheny (Owen Pallett, Austra, F*cked Up), the two settled into Candle Recording in Toronto to record the album.
While the sonics have now evolved, the plaintive lyrics and creative arrangements that helped define the band have remained. Standout tracks "Terrified", "On The Rocks", "Runners in the Night", and "Vulcan, AB" confront ideas of love, loss, and heartbreak through the pain of going through such experiences and the person that comes out on the other side of it.
Nils recalls, "Last spring, I rented a remote cottage up in the Bruce Peninsula on the recommendation of some friends to try to do some writing for the new album. It turned out to be a pretty terrifying place to be alone with your thoughts- locals told me to watch out for black bears, the heat wasn't working and at night it sounded like the cottage was surrounded by wolves. I slept with a pocket knife at arms-reach. It's funny the lines that will run through your head when you're alone like that and trying to get yourself to sleep- they inspired "To Be Scared", which is probably one of my favorite songs on the record."
The ideas and moods created in these songs tie back to the album title Mended With Gold, embracing the idea that the breakage and repair of an object becomes part of its unique history and ultimately makes it more valuable instead of a blemish to disguise. The Rural Alberta Advantage have taken all of their successes, losses, adventures, and heartbreaks over the past few years, and forged them together into an unforgettably powerful work of beauty.

July Talk
Upon returning to his hometown of Toronto, Canada, from a final European tour with his band, Peter Dreimanis sat sweaty and half-drunk in a candlelit basement bar, nursing a drink, debating his next musical pursuit. Lulled in lethargy, he paid little attention to the beat-up acoustic guitar being passed from patron to patron around him; that was until it found its home in the hands of Leah Fay.
It took only seconds of strumming and dreamy, dulcet singing for Dreimanis to realize he'd met his muse. He sat listening, dumfounded, dreaming up ideas for what could come to be between the two of them. Clear-headed the next day, he started his search for the stranger from the bar with whom he seemingly shared a soul. He found her; they founded July Talk.
Despite their relatively young union, the primary pair behind July Talk has already established its own sonancy: a sound rooted in roots and Americana with the dual-voice charm of Johnny and June, the creepy quirkiness of Tom Waits, and the hooks of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. It's a very unique blend that borrows from different decades and domains, though where those influences begin and end is cleverly disguised.
Most special about a July Talk experience, though, is the foiling of Dreimanis and Fay as personas; who they are inside or outside of the public eye and just what it is that exists between them. Lyrically, the pair plays with the juxtaposition of gender roles and perspectives, distorting social preconceptions.
