Move over Marie Kondo – Lane 8 wants to spark joy in your heart with his stunning third album Brightest Lights, out now on This Never Happened.
Amidst the chaos unfurling around us in the world, Daniel Goldstein, better known as Lane 8, has offered us a beautiful distraction – his long-awaited third album. Aptly titled Brightest Lights, the LP is a breath of fresh air and, according to Goldstein's Instagram post, something he hopes will "bring a little joy into your life in these crazy times."
The release comes nearly two years to the day of his sophomore masterpiece Little By Little – an album so good that there was worry even an artist as prolific as Lane 8 would have trouble following it. But from the moment the leading track "Groundhog Day" begins, in a fantastic crescendo of synths and ethereal melody, we're reminded that we never should have doubted him in the first place.

Armed with some of the same tools and vocalists that made Little By Little so successful, Goldstein's latest project is similar to his last in a variety of ways.
For one, like Little By Little, it utilizes the same vocalists on numerous tracks. Long-time collaborator Poliça returns for a whopping three features on the album, including the title track and single "Brightest Lights" – a cheery homage to the feeling of being so in love that nothing else matters.
"Love's the loudest sound," Poliça muses, "All the world's just noise / We will drown it out". Those lyrics excellently encapsulate Goldstein's aforementioned Instagram post and drive home his point that Brightest Lights was created with the intention of sparking happiness.
It's a lighthearted album full of hope in a time of hopelessness, which is best listened to while being blasted in the car with the windows rolled down.
Whereas each track on Little By Little worked to tell its own portion of one overarching story, Brightest Lights can be enjoyed independently. That's because its job isn't to tell a story at all, but rather evoke a feeling – something it does so beautifully.
Standout track and also the final single released ahead of the album, "Just" is pulsing and dreamy, an instrumental track that doesn't need lyrics to convey its positive message to the listener. "Sunday Song" also keeps things simple, with hymn-like samples reminiscent of something you would hear in church acting as the only vocals, sprinkled in amongst a chord collection that soothes as it builds to its eventual drop.
The art of the gradual build-up is something that any fan can tell you is something Lane 8 has mastered.
That gradual build-up is showcased prevalently on Brightest Lights. Tracks like "Yard Two Stone" draw the intro out for over a full two minutes before reaching its first climax, tantalizing and teasing the listener with Jens Kuross' melancholy vocals. "Too old to last / Too young to fall apart," he muses over an ambient melody that eventually builds to become a sped-up version of itself.
The energetic "Road" and haunting "Don't Let Me Go" also exemplify Goldstein's uncanny tension-building abilities. They rely on elements that have come to be Lane 8 staples, such as sprawling arpeggios and a simple, yet effective production style that progressively moves the songs along while keeping the listener captivated.
One again aided by Poliça's vocal abilities, "Shooting Arrows" echos and croons, functioning as one of the darker tracks on the album.
"All the days went dark when you said goodbye," it laments, "Not a single star shines to tell me why." The dismal lyrics are disguised behind its bright melody, however, allowing the track to still fit in with Goldstein's lighthearted theme.
"How Often," "Howling Hand," and "The Gift" venture into more progressive territory, which is one way that Brightest Lights differs from Little By Little.
In the past, Lane 8 has attributed some of his success to early support from indietronica duo Odesza and we can sense their influence throughout Brightest Lights. But if the majority of the album is reminiscent of this Big Wild-esque electropop sound, there are three tracks that dare to be different.
The chord progressions on "How Often" are glitchy and erratic, acting as a brilliant contrast to Kauf's smooth vocals, while "Howling Hand" is dark and brooding. Perhaps the most interesting on the album, however, is the latter: "The Gift." "To believe, to believe, to believe, to believe," it chants over and over again, before eventually breaking into a progressive house drop that would hold its own next to deadmau5 or Prydz on any playlist.
"The Rope" is both the final song on the album – save a shorter edit of "Brightest Lights" as a bonus – and the final one with Poliça.
"The Rope" is dreamy and propulsive and probably could have done without the accompaniment of the song's rather cliche lyrics: "You make me happy and that's hard to do / I was so damn sad 'til I found you." Similarly, vocals on "The Flood" seem superfluous, as they do less to add to the track than they do take away from its otherwise stunning instrumentals.
There's no doubt that Lane 8 has found his groove and formula for success.
Little By Little and Brightest Lights sound similar because, in many ways, they are. Goldstein draws from the same elemental toolbox which he has cultivated and worked towards perfecting since his debut album Rise and he does a damn good job with it. But if "The Gift" is any indication, Goldstein still has some new tricks up his sleeve that we'd love to see more of on his next project.

Sydney attributes her love for music from her mom, who insisted on playing The Foo Fighters and The White Stripes rather than Kiss FM whenever she drove carpool and agreed to allow Sydney to attend Coachella in the eighth grade as long as she could go with her. That first festival only greater affirmed Sydney's passion for the scene, but it was not until 2013 when she attended Swedish House Mafia's One Last Tour concert in Los Angeles that she discovered electronic music. She was hooked instantly and has since attended a total of 23 festivals, with countless concerts in between. Sydney's favorite artists include RL Grime, Jauz, Jai Wolf, Louis The Child, Slander, Bearson and Big Gigantic but she is constantly on the look out for new music and artists to dance to. When she's not scouring the internet for new tracks or grooving at a concert, Sydney studies Journalism and Biology full-time at the University of Oregon.

The paradigm shift in the overall outcomes of osteosarcoma is multi factorial. Be it introduction of chemotherapy, introduction of better
imaging or advances in the technology to produce better prosthesis, the crux lies in the correct and timely diagnosis. Radiology along with
clinical evaluation and histopathological confirmation is an essential part of the three tier system which leads to an accurate diagnosis
which forms the platform to initiate an ideal treatment to have desired oncological and functional outcomes. Plain radiography has been
the age old diagnostic tool which is still as important as was in yester century. Inclusion of high end cross sectional imaging likeCT and
MRI has not only helped in early and price diagnosis but has also proved to be a boon to operative surgeons to stage the disease locally and
plan complex limb salvage strategies. In the present article we have discussed the radiological features of various sub types of osteosarcoma
to help a clinician to assess these complex varieties of lesions.
Keywords: osteosarcoma, radiological assessment.
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary nonhematologic bone malignancy and is the most common primary bone malignancy in children. There are various subtypes of osteosarcoma, each with distinct clinical and imaging characteristics and variable survival and an incidence of 0.2 to 0.3 per 100,000/year. Osteosarcomas can be classified as intramedullary (high grade, telangiectatic, low grade, small cell, osteosarcomatosis, gnathic), juxtacortical (parosteal, periosteal, intracortical, high-grade surface), or secondary lesions [1]. Though majority of cases are of conventional high grade intramedullary osteosarcoma accounting for 75%- 90%, it is important to differentiate them from other low grade and (low grade central and parosteal osteosarcoma) and intermediate grade osteosarcoma (Periosteal osteosarcoma). An understanding of the systematic imaging approach helps to more accurately diagnose these lesions and direct effective treatment. This article provides an organized approach to analyzing and subtyping of osteosarcoma based on radiographs and guiding the referring physician if any further imaging is warranted as there is frequently overlap with other benign and malignant entities, creating substantial diagnostic challenges. For accurate diagnosis, it is important to be aware of radiographic and cross-sectional imaging features that allow differentiation of each subtype of osteogenic sarcoma from its mimics. Osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor that is characterized by production of osteoid matrix (immature bone) and variable amounts of cartilage matrix and fibrous tissue [2]. Each subtype of the osteosarcoma exhibit distinct imaging features mimicking different benign and malignant entities, however with critical evaluation of specific features a correct diagnosis can be made. Furthermore, important prognostic information, as well therapeutic options can be evaluated based on imaging.
Conventional osteosarcoma
Conventional intramedullary osteosarcoma is the most common subtype of osteosarcoma, accounting for 75% of all cases. Conventional osteosarcoma is a high-grade neoplasm produces osteoid matrix by the tumour cells centrally within the bone and eventually involves the entire width of the bone. It is often described as amorphous, fluffy, cloud-like, solid, cotton like or ivory like on the plain radiographs. It appears as homogenously increased density within bone and in soft tissues. Approximately 90 % of the osteosarcomas show some degree of osteoid matrix on radiographs [3]. Histologically osteosarcoma is pleomorphic and can produce variable amounts of cartilage, fibrous tissue, or other components. Some osteosarcomas produce more than one type of matrix and depending on the dominant cell type, they can be further subdivided into osteoblastic (50%–80%), fibroblastic-fibrohistiocytic (7%–25%), chondroblastic (5%–25%), telangiectatic (2.5%–12%), or small cell (1%) (4). Most cases of conventional osteosarcoma are seen in second and third decades of life, peaking when patients are aged 10 to 15 years, while they are unusual in patients younger than 6 years or older than 60 years [5]. The imaging characteristics of the various subtypes of osteosarcoma are summarized in Table 1.
Conventional osteosarcoma most frequently affects long bones (70%–80%), particularly near the knee, in the femur, tibia, and humerus. This lesion originates in the metaphysis, with extension to the epiphysis (seen in up to 80% of MR imaging studies) (Fig. 1C), however initial manifestation in epiphysis alone is extremely rare [6]. Patients with conventional osteosarcoma may present with pathologic fractures. Skip lesions also occur in about 5% of patients. The intraosseous and extraosseous extent of tumor seen in cross sectional imaging should be measured and documented which is vital in preoperative assessment and staging of osteosarcoma. Joint involvement is seen in 19% to 24% of cases and is diagnosed when hyaline cartilage is penetrated and synovial involvement is rarely seen [7]. Radiographic findings are characteristic, osteosarcoma tends to destroy cortex without expanding osseous contours, reflects its aggressive nature with osteoid matrix having a pattern of fluffy opacities, with aggressive periosteal reaction (laminated, hair-on-end, sunburst, or Codman triangle) and with a soft tissue mass in 80-90 % of the cases (Fig.1). Occasionally, the lesions are purely lytic (fibroblastic) or sclerotic (osteoblastic), but most common pattern seen is mixed lytic and sclerotic [8]. MR imaging is the examination of choice for local staging and for planning biopsies or surgery because of superior contrast resolution and multiplanar imaging. The entire involved bone should be scanned to evaluate for skip metastases. The lytic areas appears low signal on T1-weighted images and high signal on T2-weighted images, whereas the mineralized matrix appears low signal on both T1- weighted (see Fig.1C) and T2-weighted images. The T1- weighted images gives vital information regarding the anatomical extent of the marrow involvement, invasion into epiphysis and skip lesions. Treatment includes chemotherapy followed by wide surgical resection and limb salvage or amputation. Local recurrence is high if there has been a pathologic fracture. Staging work-up should include a non contrast chest CT and a whole-body bone scan. Approximately 15% to 20 % of patients present with radiographic metastases. Most common site for metastasis are lungs followed by other bones. All high-grade osteosarcoma are treated with a multimodality management. The standard sequence include a multiagent chemotherapy (Doxorubicin, cisplatin, high-dose methotrexate, etoposide and ifosphamide) followed by wide surgical excision of the primary tumor which is followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Addition of chemotherapy has dramatically improved the overall outcomes of extremity osteosarcomas from a mere 20% to 60–70%.
Telangiectatic osteosarcoma
Telangiectatic osteosarcoma accounts for 2 %–7% of all osteosarcomas cases and most commonly occurs in the 1st and 2nd decades of life. Telangiectatic osteosarcomas are located in the metaphysis of long bones and show asymmetric expansion, geographic lysis of bone, with an aggressive growth pattern (ill defined margins) with cortical destruction, minimal sclerosis and soft tissue mass [9, 10]. On pathological analysis, it shows dilated cavities filled with blood and septa and a small solid mass or a rim that contains high-grade osteosarcomatous cells. Commonly it appears low attenuation mass on computed tomography (CT), low signal on T1-weighted MR imaging, and high signal on T2-weighted MR imaging with fluid-fluid levels are seen in up to 90% of these lesions (Fig. 2). The imaging and pathologic features of these lesions may be confused with those of aneurysmal bone cysts, giant cell tumor, metastases and chondroblastic conventional osteosarcoma [11, 12]. The presence of thick, nodular, solid tissue within or around the cystic spaces, best seen on contrast-enhanced MR imaging along with aggressive pattern of growth and presence of matrix mineralization, is also helpful in making the diagnosis. Matrix mineralization in these lesions may be subtle on radiographs and it is better seen on CT. Imaging also helps to guide biopsy of the viable tumour areas. It is of utmost importance that these tumors must not be confused with other differentials and a biopsy should be performed before embarking on any form of definitive surgical procedure. The staging work up and management of telangiectatic osteosarcoma is similar to that of a conventional osteosarcoma.
Small-cell osteosarcoma
Small cell osteosarcoma is a distinct but rare subtype of conventional osteosarcoma which represents approximately 1- 4% of osteosarcoma cases. It most often affects patients in the 2nd and 3rd decades of life. The pathologic characteristics may be mistaken for Ewing sarcoma or primitive neuro- ectodermal tumor because its cells are small and have round and hyperchromatic nuclei, but cells of small cell osteosarcoma lack uniformity and consistently produce osteoid [13]. These lesions are most commonly seen in the metaphysis like conventional osteosarcoma, but they can be seen purely in the diaphysis in 15% of cases [14, 15]. Small-cell osteosarcoma is an intramedullary, permeative lytic lesion that is associated with cortical destruction, aggressive periosteal reaction, and soft tissue mass (Fig. 3) [16]. Differential diagnosis includes Ewing sarcoma, lymphoma, and conventional osteosarcoma. Although osteoid matrix is typically seen, purely lytic lesions may occur in up to 40% of cases. The prognosis is poor than that of conventional osteosarcoma. Some centres modify the chemotherapy like that of Ewing sarcoma due to presence of round cells but no standard concensus exist [14]. Over all staging and management of these tumors is also similar to other high grade osteosarcoma.
Low-grade central osteosarcoma
Low-grade central osteosarcoma is uncommon variant of conventional osteosarcoma also referred to as well differentiated or sclerosing osteosarcoma [20]. The mean age of presentation is slightly older and occurs in 3rd or 4th decade of life [21]. The radiologic and pathologic findings simulates those of fibrous dysplasia and benign fibro-osseous lesions often resulting in erroneous radiographic and histologic diagnosis. The presence of aggressive features like cortical destruction, permeative pattern or a soft tissue mass is helpful in differentiation of low-grade central osteosarcoma from benign fibro-osseous lesions which are better seen on CT and MRI. These cases are usually staged with a chest radiograph only. Surgery forms the main cornerstone of the management. Chemotherapy is not warranted and these are treated with wide surgical excision. The outcomes are usually excellent with wide excision, however intra-lesional resection and curettage can result in high local recurrences and transformation of initial lesion into high grade sarcoma as well [22].
Juxtacortical osteosarcoma
Juxtacortical or surface osteosarcoma refers to originating from the surface of bone and accounts for 4% to 10% of all osteosarcomas. It is usually associated with the periosteum and cortex with variable medullary canal involvement. These lesions are further divided into parosteal, periosteal, high grade surface, and intracortical osteosarcomas because of different radiological and histological findings.
Parosteal osteosarcoma
Parosteal osteosarcoma is the most common type of juxtacortical osteosarcoma originates from the outer layer of the periosteum, accounting for 65% of juxtacortical osteosarcomas and typically manifesting in the third and fourth decades [23]. The lesion is slightly more commonly seen in women. The tumor usually occurs in the metaphysis of long bones and posterior aspect of the distal femur is the most frequent site. Pathologically, it is usually a low grade tumour with extensive osteoid matrix and minimal fibroblastic stroma with occasional areas of cartilage are seen. At radiography, the classic appearance is a lobulated, cauliflower like, juxtacortical centrally dense ossific mass, separated by radiolucent cleavage plane with adjacent normal cortex in its early stages (approximately 30% of cases at radiographs and in 65% of cases at MRI) [24, 25]. This cleavage plane refers to the periosteum interposed between the normal cortex and the tumor mass. Cortical thickening with a relative lack of aggressive periosteal reaction may also be seen (Fig.4). The ossified matrix is predominantly low in signal intensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images (Fig.4), while unmineralized soft-tissue mass larger than 1 cm3 is predominantly high in T2 signal intensity. High signal intensity indicates high grade tumour [24]. Medullary cavity invasion may be seen in 8% to 59% of cases on MR imaging, and although the prognosis of these patients of these patients is controversial, knowledge of this invasion helps in complete surgical resection. Prognosis in patients with parosteal osteosarcoma is excellent, with a 10-year survival rate of 80%. High-grade foci warrant adjuvant chemotherapy. The main differential diagnosis includes myositis ossificans, osteochondroma and periosteal chondroma. Apart from trauma history, the gradual ossification of the lesion from the periphery toward the center of the mass and no attachment to the cortex is a characteristic radiographic finding of myositis ossificans [26]. Osteochondroma have corticomedullary continuity between the tumor and the underlying medullary canal which lacks in parosteal osteosarcoma [27].
Periosteal osteosarcoma
Periosteal osteosarcoma is the second most common type of juxtacortical osteosarcoma originates from the inner germinative layer of periosteum, accounts for 25% of juxtacortical osteosarcomas and usually presents in second and third decades with slight male preponderance [28, 29]. Pathologically, it is predominantly cartilaginous with small areas of osteoid, intermediate cytologic grade distinctly lower than that of conventional osteosarcoma but higher than that of parosteal osteosarcoma. Periosteal osteosarcoma characteristically occurs in diaphysis or metadiaphysis and usually involves 50% of the osseous circumference (Fig.5). Common radiographic findings include a broad-based mass on the surface of the bone, with cortical erosions, cortical thickening and periosteal reaction. Though medullary extension can occur, it is still rare and reactive marrow changes can occur in 50% of the cases [28, 29]. Periosteal reaction is seen as perpendicular low signal intensity areas on all MR sequences arising from the inner cortex to the outer margin of the tumor (Fig.5). Pathologically tumours are chondroblastic and they usually appear low attenuation on CT and high signal on T2-weighted images. Perpendicular periosteal reaction is seen as rays of low signal intensity on all MR imaging sequences. Prognosis of patients is better than conventional osteosarcoma but worse than parosteal osteosarcoma. Treatment consists of wide local excision with limb salvage. Perisoteal osteosarcomas are intermediate grade tumors and are staged like high grade osteosarcomas. A wide surgical resection is mandatory but role of chemotherapy is controversial.
High-grade surface osteosarcoma
High-grade surface osteosarcoma is least common type of osteosarcoma and accounts for 10% of juxtacortical osteosarcomas. It usually manifests in second and third decade of life. Pathologically, it is high grade like conventional osteosarcoma. Radiologically, it affects the diaphysis or metadiaphysis of the long bones, involves the entire circumference of the bone and may invade the medullary cavity [30, 31]. These tumors are staged and treated like other high grade osteosarcoma.
Intracortical osteosarcoma
Intracortical osteosarcoma is a rare type of osteosarcoma that arises from the cortex and is most commonly seen in second decade. Radiologically, they affect diaphysis long bones and have a geographic lytic area with variable amounts of mineralized osteoid. The lesions may also have smooth margins and variable cortical thickening with common differential diagnosis for this condition includes osteoid osteoma or osteoblastoma. Medullary invasion is rare.
Secondary osteosarcoma
Although conventional osteosarcoma and secondary osteosarcoma are histologically indistinguishable, diagnosis is made on the basis of typical radiographic appearances in the pre existing lesions such as MFH or paget disease (Fig.7) or secondary to radiation. The prognosis for these patients is usually poor.
Osteosarcomatosis (multifocal osteosarcoma)
Osteosarcomatosis is a condition characterized by multiple intraosseous osteosarcomas believed to represent rapidly progressive multicentric metastatic disease. It accounts for 3% to 4% of all osteosarcomas. Most of these patients have a multiple radiographic lesions and pulmonary metastatic disease. Mean survival for these patients is less than 1 year
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bony malignancy in children's. The radiologic appearances vary over a wide spectrum and may be mimicked by various benign and malignant lesions still each subtype have often characteristic radiographic features and are suggestive of the specific diagnosis most of the time. Perhaps more important, additional cross sectional imaging modalities specifically MR imaging, provide vital information for planning biopsies or preoperative staging in surgical management. Recognition of these imaging features is an important guide for the accurate diagnosis which helps our clinical colleagues regarding the often difficult and complex multimodality treatment of patients with osteosarcoma to improve the clinical outcome.

Court ruling 'won't slow high-speed rail project'
Rail authority executive says
by Gennady Sheyner / Palo Alto Online

A court ruling ordering the California High-Speed Rail Authority to rewrite portions of its environmental review for the proposed 800-mile line will not delay the controversial construction project, a top rail authority official said Thursday.
Mehdi Morshed, executive director of the rail authority, said Wednesday's ruling by a Sacramento County judge generally affirmed the agency's choice of Pacheco Pass as the preferred alternative for the rail line.
"Fundamentally, the judge agreed with our environmental work and our selection of the Pacheco Pass," Morshed told the Weekly.
"The things the judge asked us to take a look at are relatively small items that we can accommodate."
Though the ruling will require the rail authority to revisit its environmental impact report and add information, Morshed said it will not change the agency's timeline for the $40 billion project.
The ruling, issued by Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Michael Kenny, found that the rail authority inadequately described a portion of the $40 billion project and that its strategies for mitigating the vibration impact of the trains were "not supported by substantial evidence."
But the court also found that the authority "studied a reasonable range of alternatives and presented a fair and unbiased analysis" before it chose Pacheco Pass, which includes the Caltrain corridor in the Peninsula, over the Altamont Pass in East Bay.
The ruling was a response to a lawsuit filed by Menlo Park, Atherton and a coalition of transportation and environmental groups, with a "friend of the court" brief filed by Palo Alto.
Kenny also ruled that the rail authority should have recirculated the environmental report after it learned that Union Pacific Railroad opposes sharing its right-of-way with the rail line.
Plaintiffs heralded the ruling as a major setback for the controversial project.
But Morshed said the rail agency has already been operating under the assumption that it wouldn't be using Union Pacific's right-of-way. The rail agency has been looking at other options, including the use of properties adjacent to Union Pacific's right-of-way, he said.
"As we started the project-level environmental impact report, we've been considering other options with this alignment consistent with the Union Pacific objections," Morshed said.
"We're working on solutions not requiring Union Pacific's right-of-way."
Tom Lange, a spokesman for Union Pacific, told the Weekly Thursday that the company is not opposed to the concept of a high-speed rail system. But the proposed high-speed system would not be compatible with Union Pacific's freight trains.
The high-speed rail would allow its passenger trains to reach speeds as high as 220 mph in rural regions, or up to 125 mph when it passes through dense areas such as the Peninsula. The high speeds would create a safety hazard if the two rail services had to share space, Lange said.
"Our right-of-way is not compatible with the high-speed rail," he said.
Morshed said the rail authority is currently negotiating with Union Pacific on areas where the high-speed rail would have to pass next to Union Pacific tracks.
He said the rail agency could continue its work on its various "project-level" environmental impact reports (including one for the San Francisco-to-San Jose section and other segments of the line) at the same time as it's making the court-mandate updates to the "program-level" environmental impact report, which addresses the entire system.
The project-level reviews are already addressing some of the court's concerns, Morshed said. As a result, the mandated changes to the program-level environmental review should not take long, he said.
"Whatever work the judge is going to ask us to do can be done concurrently with the project-level work," Morshed said. "Fundamentally, the judge agreed with our environmental analysis and our selection of the Pacheco Pass."

This morning I heard testimony at the Peninsula Cities Coalition that Granite Rock is the primary freight shipper on the UP line with their northbound cement. I's incredulous that millions of Californians may be denied a modern rail transportation system by two corporations, UP and Granite, profiting from 19th century exploitive technology.

Anybody see the similarities between ENRON and HSR?
ENRON built a dominant billion dollar business on self-serving statements, lies, manipulation, and exploitation. It took years to discover their deceitful practices and for the 'chickens to come home to roost.' Unfortunately, Palo Alto paid up before ENRON's total failure.
Rod Diridon and High-Speed Rail deceived California voters with half-truths and deceptive statements to get the vote they wanted and suck the federal government into some funding. But 'what goes around, comes around.' Look for California HSR to get mired in lawsuits proving HSR is predicated upon grossly deceptive practices. As the onion is legally peeled down to its rotten core, HSR will gradually recede into the shadows with the fallen ENRON.

If a nation can build a pipeline hundreds of feet wide, that bisects a state larger than Texas just to get at a few more decades of precious oil, than surely we can figure a way to get from LA to Frisco on a high speed train without the state coming unglued. It doesn't have to be 220 mph trains in a deep tunnel or high trestle to fit into the landscape, and minimuze the noise and visual impact.
Get over your worst nightmares, roll up your sleeves, and think about California 50 years from now, when gas is something we used to have when my parents were kids.

Unless you've been visiting some other planet somewhere in the universe, you already know about Comedy Central's South Park debacle. That's the one, of course, that saw Comedy Central, the oh-so-hip-and-edgy (meaning often offensive) television station brutally censoring a South Park episode that implied that Mohamed was walking around wearing a bear suit — when it turned out to have been Santa in the suit all along.
Comedy Central made this censorship decision when a New York Muslim suggested that airing the show as written might result in a Theo Van Gogh moment. That would mean that someone associated with the show would soon be appearing on the streets of New York with multiple stab wounds, a partially severed head, and a wildly hostile-to-Western-culture letter impaled on his chest.
There are a couple of points I want to make about this whole embarrassing debacle — embarrassing for Comedy Central, which shows that it's offensive only when it's safe; and a debacle, because it's one more nail in the coffin of the free speech that has always been an integral part of America's political and social culture.
The core of liberal society is the belief that every new thought, every iconoclasm, every "dangerous" idea, can be uttered somewhere, by someone, as long as it doesn't openly incite violence — and that every sacred cow is ultimately just a cow.
In the old days, the notion of incitement to violence examined whether the speaker literally incited violence. For example, the speaker might say to the crowd "Kill the President" or "Kill the Congress person" or "Kill all the meter maids" or something equally incendiary. The threat of violence wasn't implicit in the speech; it was explicit. No civilized society could countenance speech that simply and directly inflamed blood lust. We in America have always been willing to trade in the world of ideas, but the civil contract demands that we stop short of demanding someone's head on a pike.
We've now entered a brave new world that redefines "incitement to violence" away from its traditional meaning of explicit demands for blood, death or revolution. Now, "incitement to violence" includes speech or images that hurt someone's feelings or offend their sensibilities. As a society, we used to say that it was just tough if someone's sensitivities were roughed up by speech that falls far short of calling for that person's (or someone else's) blood. We recognized that our civil contract — our constitutional contract — requires for its health resilient people who can deal with hurt feelings.
Except of course, we're not talking about any random crazy man. We're talking about the sharia-obsessed Muslim crazy man. And by making that man — that sharia man — the standard by which incitement must be judged, we're veering sharply away from a constitutional standard of free speech, and placing ourselves squarely within that man's sharia code. Which really means that the second American Revolution, the one that sees us forever part ways with our current system of government, will begin, and end, not with flaring muskets and brave midnight battles, but with a whimper and a bowed head.
Isn't that exquisite (despite the scanning flaws arising from the picture's spread across two pages)?
Not only is it beautiful, it's also a picture of Mohamed. The swaddled little baby in the far left corner, with his face fully revealed, cradled in the arms of two loving angels, is Mohamed himself. Some medieval Muslim, inspired by Christian iconography surrounding the birth of Christ, painted this reverential scene of Mohamed's birth.
Mohamed, on the left, has a veil neatly drawn across his face. The artist has reverentially drawn a scene without exposing himself to the inevitable risk of erroneously portraying the prophet's face. Incidentally, if you're really thinking this through, as the radicals seem not to have done, you might conclude that, although a bear costume isn't a neat, curtain-like little veil, the effect is identical: Mohamed is hidden from view.
All of the above, of course, is art historian persnickety-ness. The real issue is that fact that we, a free society that has never let government dictate to us the terms of our religious worship, are meekly allowing a religion to which we do not subscribe to dictate the terms of our social, political, artistic, ideological and intellectual behavior. The proscription against potentially blasphemous images of Mohamed should apply only to Muslims. The fact that Muslims wish to apply it to all of us tells us volumes about their jihad mentality (a world at war, with a winning Islam and a losing everyone else) and our self-abasing victim approach to those chest-thumpers in the Islamist camp who want to make now the time, and this the place, for their world conquest.
Sadly, Comedy Central isn't an anomaly. Instead, it seems to be a harbinger of things to come. It's conduct is the thin of edge of the wedge when it comes to a cultural decision to give in and, by giving in, give away the constitutional freedoms that generations of our forebearers fought bravely to defend.
UPDATE: A friend reminded me that Zombie created a full post with exquisite Islamic iconography showing Mohamed's face. Please check it out, as the images are better than anything I've included here.

Judy Dyble comes to The Lantern Theatre with her Band of Perfect Strangers, promising an enchanting evening of folk and jazz with perhaps something of an other-worldly psychedelic tinge to the whole affair.
Judy Dyble had been part of the various pre-Fairport incarnations of jug bands and folk trios and other delights and was the original singer, autoharpist and recorder player for the band once they decided to be called Fairport Convention. She joined them in their many and varied falling-apart vans at their many and varied gigs in London, the UK and their first gigs in Europe.
Appearing on their first single, 'If I had a Ribbon Bow' and after the release of their eclectic first album, Judy left to join with fellow London based musician, and later founder member of Foreigner, Ian McDonald which resulted in a collaboration with the musicians who later collectively became King Crimson – Robert Fripp, Peter and Mike Giles. After recording a few songs with them which later surfaced as 'The Brondesbury Tapes', she became one half of the stunning, if short lived duo Trader Horne, whose eponymous (and only) LP 'Morning Way' is still considered to be a classic of its day.
The duo Trader Horne reunited in Nov 2015 with a brilliantly received one off performance of 'Morning Way' at Bush Hall in London and one final appearance at the 'Green Man Festival' in 2016.
After a short, but jolly collaboration with Lol Coxhill and Canterbury musicians Steve and Phil Miller as DC & the MBs, Judy promptly retired to raise a family, until 30 years later she returned to music to create new music in a way that hadn't even been dreamed of in 1970. The internet had arrived in the intervening years and with it the ability to record remotely and seamlessly weave contributions from everywhere into a beautiful tapestry of songs. Three albums released with Marc Swordfish of Astralasia between 2004 and 2006 marked her return to music. 'Talking With Strangers' followed in 2009, 'Flow and Change' in 2013, and 'Live at WMJazz' in 2014 and 'Gathering The Threads' - her Anthology of odd music from 50 years - in 2015.
She has since finished writing her autobiography, 'An Accidental Musician' published in May 2016, and has released a critically acclaimed album, 'Summer Dancing' with Musician/DJ /Producer Andy Lewis.


Price is the most important factor that all sellers must consider when selling their home. Pricing a home incorrectly is the primary reason why homes don't sell. Many times sellers, including FSBO's, make the mistake of over pricing their homes. The home will sit on the market for a long time. It will attract the wrong buyer. Sellers become frustrated. They make the mistake of thinking that even if the house is priced too high, a buyer will fall in love with their house and make an offer.
In reality, most of the time, buyers don't make offers if they feel the price of the home is too high. There are buyers that do go around making very low offers on multiple properties. However, that is not the type of buyer that you want to attract to buy your home.
More often than not, sellers that have priced their homes too high end up taking them off the market. So the moral of the story is if you are really determined and motivated to sell your home, then you should carefully consider the proper price so your home will sell quickly and for maximum dollar.
Today's homebuyers are educated about the housing market and home prices. Most buyers start their home search on the Internet looking for homes that meet their criteria and price range. The other information that buyers research before they even view properties are comparable sold prices in the neighborhoods where they are interested in buying a home.
A majority of buyers work with a knowledgeable and experienced Real Estate Agent who specializes in the area they want to live. The Real Estate Agent will also provide information to the buyer about home sales and available properties, property history, tax information and mortgage loan rates, etc.
By the time a serious buyer looks at a FSBO home, they have seen other homes in the neighborhood and are able to recognize whether your home is priced right or not. Buyers are looking for value and are also concerned about resale. If your home is not priced competitively, they may not consider making an offer because they have formed an opinion that you are not realistic, and they don't want to waste their time or anyone else's. Or you may receive a very low offer.
Condition of the home. Fixer or move in condition.
Home's features and amenities. Sometimes emotions play a factor.
Market conditions. Buyers are not willing to pay a higher than market price for a home in a buyer's market, but may do so in an appreciating seller's market.
It is important for a FSBO to understand these factors when pricing their home.
1. Obtain a list of comparable homes sales from a local Real Estate Agent or online. There are several websites that you can obtain this information from. Adjust the price up or down for features that your home may have or not have in comparison to the other homes that have sold. If there are no recent sold properties, then you can compare the price to homes currently listed or under contract in your area.
2. Decide whether you are willing to cooperate with a buyer's broker by paying the broker's commission of 2.5 %-3.0%.
3. Access the condition of your home and make a list of any necessary repairs and the costs associated with them. Even if you decide to sell your home in an "as is" condition, you must disclose items that are not in working condition, any mold problems, plumbing or roof leaks. The buyer will take into account the repair costs when making their offer.
4. The location of your home. Is your home on a cul de sac, corner, busy street, located near an airport or is there any other noise or other factors that might influence your home's price in a negative way or which would affect a buyer's decision to purchase your home? These are all factors that you should take into consideration when setting your sales price.
5. Check with an escrow holder or title company to find out what your closing costs are so that you can factor that in your selling price. Typical closing costs include your mortgage payoff, any pre-payment penalties, prorated taxes, insurance and homeowner fees, if applicable, owner's title insurance policy, etc.
The best strategy for successfully selling your home is to price your home correctly to begin with, have a good marketing plan and expose your home to a large pool of qualified buyers. Being creative and thinking outside the box by making your home stand out from the rest of the competition will also help get your home sold quickly and for the best price.

Singapore Seeks to Translate Traineeships into Jobs
SGUnited Jobs and Skills Package aims to create close to 100,000 jobs and opportunities amid COVID-19 recovery
Training and apprenticeship programmes offered as part of the SGUnited Jobs and Skills Package should translate into more career opportunities down the road, said MP for Bishan-Toa Payoh Chee Hong Tat.
Under this package, the Singapore government aims to create close to 100,000 jobs, traineeships, and skills training opportunities for job seekers in 2021 through a number of initiatives, including the launching of satellite career centres across Singapore.
Several job seekers have expressed concern over the traineeships and attachment programmes, as they are a non-permanent position and does not necessarily satisfy the financial needs of workers; something that is of great concern during these times of economic uncertainty. However, Mr Chee, who is also Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Transport, said such placements are important during this period.
"Jobs are harder to come by now. But when economic recovery comes six months or 12 months later – hopefully sooner – there will be more jobs available. And that's when training will allow workers to have more skills to access those job openings and find permanent jobs subsequently," he told the media during a job fair at Toa Payoh HDB Hub on 1 August.
He was joined by Bishan-Toa Payoh MPs, Mr Chong Kee Hiong and Mr Saktiandi Supaat, as well as MP for Marymount SMC Gan Siow Huang.
Ms Gan said it was hoped that companies which provide training and apprenticeship opportunities would consider hiring these job seekers at the end of their placements.
"We do hope these job seekers will be able to pick up new skills, new networks and at the end of the enterprise training, be hired by the company or have a greater network for them to be able to find new jobs," she said.
In addition, Ms Gan mentions that the government was in the midst of providing incentives towards companies who intend to hire these trainees at the end of their programmes. She also announced that a SGUnited Jobs and Skills Centre would be opening at Toa Payoh West Community Centre, which would provide career matching services and advice to job seekers in the area.
The new centre in Mr Chee's constituency comes under phase two of the programme which will see eight such centres opening in other heartland areas. Phase three of the programme, which starts on 15 August, will see another eight satellite career centres open.
The devastating economic caused by the COVID-19 pandemic inevitably saw thousands of firms affected and even more workers retrenched while certain sectors saw growth and continued to hire. Mr Chee assures that the government will be doing everything in its power to help workers who are affected to transition to new jobs in new sectors, which is another reason why the training programmes are so important.
He added that the nature of jobs in Singapore had already begun changing even before the pandemic hit. However, COVID-19 did serve to accelerate the pace of said change.
"The post-COVID world is going to be a very different environment from what we used to have. So we must be prepared to make some fundamental changes to our economic policies and also individually, our own mindsets as employers and job seekers," he said.

GTCC Cline Observatory Marks 20th Anniversary
The Cline Observatory at Guilford Technical Community College will commemorate its 20thanniversary on Friday, Oct. 27. GTCC will hold a special presentation of the observatory's history as part of its weekly Friday viewing beginning at 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Since opening in 1997, the Cline Observatory has offered public observing nights every clear Friday night. Every session is free, no reservations or ticket required.
"It is a service we have offered free to the public for two decades," said Tom English, director of the Cline Observatory at GTCC. "Our sessions are unstructured; there is no program – just telescopic viewing and observing the heavens."
Aaron Martin, GTCC's first full-time astronomy instructor, initiated the project. He came to GTCC in 1990 with a bold vision: to fund and construct a campus observatory with a strong public outreach program. Many thought his idea was merely like the objects he was observing in the night sky – big, but not reachable in one's lifetime. Seven years later and with the support of J. Donald Cline and his wife Jo who supported building the facility, the dream became reality.
At 24 inches, the Cline Observatory's reflecting telescope is one of the largest in North Carolina, and it is the only large instrument in the state that is open to the public weekly throughout the year, weather permitting. The observatory has hosted nearly 28,000 people since opening its doors.
GTCC Jamestown Campus

There are many reasons why US interventions abroad tend to backfire spectacularly and usually without fail, but the most embarrassing of all is when US weapons meant for one side end up in the hands of their enemies, and eventually used against the US itself. Most recently, this happened in the 2014-2016 period when ISIS steamrolled countless Iraqi towns, collecting Humvees, SAM missiles, guns and ammo in the process.
Today, it happened again in the Syrian-Kurdish town of Afrin, where the "victorious" Turkish army seized an unknown number of weapons provided by the Pentagon to the (formerly) US-allied Kurdish YPG "terrorists" as they are called by Turkey.
One day after the Turkish president declared victory in the Turkish campaign against the Kurdish outpost, on Monday Erdogan said that the Turkish army and FSA units entered Afrin and established full control over the settlement.
And while he failed to thank the US taxpayers for providing him with brand new, barely used, ultramodern weapons, initially meant for the YPG which less than bravely scattered as soon as the Turkish army approached, the delighted Turkish Deputy PM revealed Turkey's plans concerning the ongoing Syria offensive, saying that the country's forces would not remain in Afrin, instead leaving the city to its "real owners."
Meanwhile, Turkey's Anadolu Agency news agency reported that a bomb had been planted by Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) that killed at least 7 civilians and 4 Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters in part of central Afrin which had earlier been cleared by Turkish military and FSA, citing a security source.
The bomb went off late Sunday in a four-story building in Afrin, killing at least 7 civilians and 4 FSA fighters, the agency specified. The explosion took place amid Ankara's recent advance in the area: Turkish-backed forces managed to take over the town center on Sunday.
While the offensive has been strongly condemned by Damascus, which decried Turkey's move as "a violation of the country's sovereignty", Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that preservation of the territorial integrity of Syria is the common goal of Ankara and Damascus and that Turkish troops are not going to attack government forces in Syria.
So far Russia has supported the Turkish military campaign as it continues to clear the northern part of Syria of its Kurdish presence.

Cruella: Disney's live-action origin story gets mixed reviews
28th May 2021 Ababiopeter Entertainment Leave a comment
Disney's new live-action origin story Cruella, which stars Emma Stone and Dame Emma Thompson, has received a mixed response from critics.
The film is a prequel to 101 Dalmatians and follows Cruella de Vil from her roots as an orphaned urchin to an aspiring fashion designer determined to avenge her mother's death.
The Guardian said the film was "extremely entertaining".
But The Times called it "messy, flabby and confused".
The evil, dognapping character was a terrifying Disney icon when 1961's original animation 101 Dalmatians was released,
This latest film follows 1996's live-action version starring Glenn Close, and its sequel in 2000.
image captionEmma Thompson plays fashion house owner Baroness von Hellman
The film stars Dame Emma as Cruella's boss Baroness von Hellman, who runs prestigious London fashion house.
The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw described the two leading actors as "a sensational couple of Emmas".
"Together, they are the highly strung dysfunctional double-act that post-lockdown cinema didn't know it needed," he added in his four-star review.
However, he questioned the storyline, writing: "It's all extremely entertaining, although I do have to say that in these snowflakey days of emotional correctness and respect for animals, this movie rather fudges the whole question of Cruella actually wanting, now or in the future, to kill Dalmatians for their skins."
The original films were focused on Cruella's desire to murder Dalmatian puppies to use their fur for a coat.
The newspaper also welcomed seeing the film in a cinema, adding: "The big screen is surely the place to marvel at the film's digital recreation of London in the mid-70s."
But Kevin Maher of The Times was less enthusiastic, saying Stone "just doesn't scare you".
He added Dame Emma occupies "the seething, screen-chewing, coat-swishing and giddily villainous archetype" by "channelling the deranged diva personal of the Glenn Close Cruella".
Maher said the origin story was "a vague attempt to spin the tale as an All About Eve for the superhero origins crowd" but that "the result, alas, is much more messy, flabby and confused".
Variety's Peter Debruge expressed relief that the film was "not another Maleficent", which was an origin story for Sleeping Beauty.
He said director Craig Gillespie "who brought a wicked edge to pop-culture redux I, Tonya a few years back, has rescued Cruella from the predictability of the earlier 101 Dalmatians remakes".
image captionThe film's direcgtor Craig Gillespie previously directed I, Tonya, about figure skater Tonya Harding
The Telegraph's Robbie Collin noted Gillespie is "big on toxic female rivalry" and was broadly positive. "As remakes and spin-offs go, this one's barking up the right tree," he said.
"The film only shows signs of strain when the time comes to push the plot over a hump… it feels at least 15 minutes too long, and gives itself too many loose ends to tie up as its climax approaches."
BBC Culture's Caryn James said there was "something hollow at the film's centre", and that it was "lukewarm style over substance – with a narrative that's not as bold as its design".
"This modern Cruella is a baddie who deserves our compassion," wrote Brian Viner in The Daily Mail, adding the film's creators "played down" the storyline about turning puppies into coats.
"Instead, the writers and Gillespie try to make their lead character vaguely sympathetic and her motivations understandable".
Viner likened Cruella to 2019's Joker, "another prequel that sought to explain how Batman's arch-enemy and super- villain emerged" adding that of course "one major difference is that this is a comedy aimed at children".
"Some youngsters might be befuddled by the plot, which could have stood a bit of muzzling," he said, while agreeing that the film's running time was "20 minutes too long".
But The Sun's Dulcie Pearce was fulsome in her praise, writing: "Cruella is packed full of energy, action, punchy performances, incredible style, delightful dogs and one of the best soundtracks in modern film."
"The styling and creativity is utterly breath-taking," she added. "tTe two Emmas' scenes together are so delicious I wished I could have another bite the moment they finished."
Cruella was the first major Hollywood film to get an in-person premiere in LA earlier this month, in the wake of coronavirus restrictions.
The film was released on Friday in cinemas and has also been made available on the Disney+ Premier Access platform, which requires a £19.99 payment in addition to the monthly subscription charge.

Q: jenkins publish over ssh plugin variables I am trying to publish a war file over i cannot seem to make a working directory based on date. I also tried this example 'nightly/'yyyy-MM-dd from:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Publish+Over+SSH+Plugin
but this only outputs an error that directory ' cannot be created.

I also found build_id on some examples, but this also does not work.
How can I create a directory with date as its name prefix?

A: I have managed to create a timestamp variable to use it in the build process itself.
First you have to check to "Change date pattern for BUILD_TIMESTAMP"
and then you define your variable.

After that you can use it in other plugins like sending it to ssh server:

Why we 'attacked' anti-Buhari protesters - Police
The FCT Police command on Tuesday, August 8, said it dispersed the anti-Buhari protesters because hoodlums hijacked the demonstration.
The protesters, under the aegis of Concerned Nigerians, marched to the Villa on Monday demanding the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari who has been in London on medical leave.
In a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Anjuguri Manzah, the command said the police intervened when criminal elements infiltrated the protest.
"It will be recalled that 'Our-Mumu-Don-do Movement' carried out their protest on Monday 7th August, 2017 at the same venue and were accorded necessary Police presence to safe guard public safety and public peace, and protect their rights to freedom of expression, rights to peaceful Assembly and Association, and right to freedom of movement as provided for in sections 39, 40, and 41 of the 1999 constitution as amended," Manzah said.
"However, today 8th August, 2017 the same group assembled at the same venue but allowed miscreants, hoodlums and other unruly individuals to infiltrate the protests, who started blocking the major roads adjoining the Unity fountain, obstructing traffic and preventing movements of other innocent citizens from going to their means of livelihood, and thereby exhibiting unruly behaviors and other violent acts very likely to cause the breakdown of law and order and disturbance of public peace.
"The Police personnel intervened at the point that the concerned Nigerians Group lost control of the crowd and prevented miscreants, hoodlums and other criminal elements from hijacking the protest to cause mayhem and chaos.
"It is pertinent to state here that the FCT Police command is fully aware and recognizes the constitutional rights of every citizen including " Our Mumu Don Do group" to assemble and move freely in any part of the Federal Capital Territory, but the command will not allow any protest under any guise to turn violent and jeopardise the prevailing peace, law and order currently being enjoyed in the FCT.
"The command wishes to assure all residents and visitors to the territory of adequate security and protection of lives and property of everyone including those who choose to express their constitutional rights of protest with decorum."
The Police, however, urged parents to caution their wards so as not be instrumental in the breakdown of law and order in the society.
"Members of the public, parents and guardians, religious/opinion leaders and other interest groups are advised to prevail on their children and wards, followers and adherents not to allow themselves to be used by any group to cause disturbance of public peace and break down of law and order," the statement read.
The protesters had asked the President to resume or resign while demanding details of his health status.
On May 7, 2017, Buhari traveled to the United Kingdom for continued treatment days after he had returned to Nigeria.

MKC Networks was a privately owned supplier of VoIP (Voice over IP) equipment and software components headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It designed and sold a family of SIP-based products including advanced SIP Enterprise Application Servers and scalable communication platforms.

MKC Networks bought certain SIP intellectual property in 2003 from a company called Mitel Knowledge. Mitel Knowledge was created to hold the intellectual property of Mitel Networks. Through some internal exploratory R&D work, it evolved into a supplier of SIP-based equipment.

The intellectual property of Mitel Networks was returned to that company's ownership in 2003.

MKC Networks was acquired by NewHeights Software on September 1, 2006. In 2007, NewHeights was acquired by CounterPath Corporation.

According to an announcement from consultancy Technomic, its parent, Winsight LLC, has forged a new deal with the National Restaurant Association, expanding its penetration in the foodservice information services market in the United States. The agreement for an undisclosed amount will hand over operational oversight of the National Restaurant Show to Winsight, and the Association will gain an advisory board seat and an equity partnership with Winsight.
Much of the forward-facing branding and communication from the National Restaurant Show will remain the same, in accordance with a 45-year sponsorship agreement that already exists for the National Restaurant Association. Winsight, will in essence, expand the content management and content creation for the show, while it expands its own reach to a national restaurant leadership audience.
The show's attendance in 2018 was about 65,000 and the pre-event marketing of the show, and its resulting content and news, reaches many more thousands of establishments across the country.
The 2019 show at McCormick Place in Chicago will mark the centennial event. Part of the prominence of the show has been the presence of traditional and multimedia publishing organizations within the foodservice industry at show events on and off site in Chicago. As part of the equity agreement with the National Restaurant Association, Winsight's Restaurant Business publication will become the official magazine of the show.
Next year's National Restaurant will be held May 18-21, 2019 and will continue to feature show favorites, including the Signature keynote session, "Future of Restaurants" super-session, Innovation Hub, and World Culinary Showcase, in addition to the special Restaurants Rock celebration.
Winsight also announced that Mary Pat Heftman will become President of Winsight's Restaurant Show Group. "We welcome Mary Pat and her team to Winsight, and we are confident our resources, combined with those of the National Restaurant Association, have created a partnership dedicated to the success of the restaurant and foodservice industries of today and tomorrow," said Mike Wood, Winsight chief executive.
Winsight LLC is an information services company, providing business-to-business information services, event and market intelligence. Consultancy Technomic is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Winsight, a Pamlico Capital company. Winsight also operates a portfolio of business publications geared toward retail, commercial and non-commercial foodservice management, including Restaurant Business, Foodservice Director and CSP.


The College of Engineering and Computer Science celebrated student innovation at the annual Research Day luncheon. The event focuses on the importance of bringing research to a broad audience and presenting it in a way that is accessible to people learning about the topic for the first time.
90 undergraduate and graduate students showcased posters explaining their research areas and 16 Ph.D. students made three to five-minute pitch presentations to a panel of judges. The competition was designed to mimic real world situations where a researcher might only have a few minutes to convince a business or investor that their concept was worth pursuing.
Biomedical and Chemical Engineering (BMCE) graduate student Flaviyan Jerome Irudayanathan won the pitch competition with a proposal he hopes will help find a cure for Alzheimer's Disease. He presented his research on "Molecular Transport Through Blood-Brain Pores" and how it may be possible to deliver small amounts of prescription drugs to areas of the brain that are difficult to access. His research proposal also won the biomedical and chemical engineering poster competition.
Graduate student Omar Youssef El Masri's research on "A Cost-Effective Method to Retrofit Steel Girders" won the Civil and Environmental Engineering poster competition.
Research Day was organized by Gurdip Singh, Associate Dean for Research and Doctoral Programs, and Yoanna Ferarra, Director of Research, Graduate Programs and Corporate Relations.
