Sadly there was no recipe shared in the episode, but I thought 'I can do that' So I did!
I already have a recipe for 'The Best Focaccia EVER!' So I adapted it to suit the ingredients that my husband and I love. We used feta cheese, olives and sun-dried tomatoes – a really wonderful combination, but you really could use whatever you like. I also added some sliced red onion to the dough, which gave a really lovely flavour.
I was worried that it might be a bit wet inside, but it wasn't. You do have to let it rise a bit longer so that you get enough air in the dough, the stuffing slows down the proving process, but it's worth the wait. As usual I've included some images with the different stages of the bake below, but if you don't want to read all of the steps then you can just Skip to the printable recipe.
Traditionalists will probably curse as my version is not your traditional focaccia, instead it's a lot deeper and has a really soft texture – exactly right for stuffing I thought – and it was! Trust me the taste is fantastic.
Ingredients = 250g of Strong white bread flour, 250g of 00 flour (sometimes called pasta flour), 7g (about 1 tbsp) of fast-action yeast (if using fresh you'll need 14g), 4 medium sprigs of fresh rosemary stripped and chopped semi-finen (optional, leave this out if you don't like it, or substitute for dried oregano), half a red onion finely sliced (again this is optional), 1 Tbsp of sea salt (the crystal type), 275 – 285ml of luke warm water, 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.
Pop all of the ingredients for the dough (except the water) into a mixing bowl and give them a little stir.
Add 275ml of the water and bring the dough together with your hands keeping it in the bowl. If it feels dry then dribble in extra water until there is no flour left and the dough cleans the bowl.
Tip out onto the work surface and knead for about 10 mins (it's a sticky dough, so don't panic, just work through it). At the end of the knead you should be left with a really nice shiny elastic dough.
Oil the bowl with a small amount of olive oil. Make a ball with the dough and pop it back into the oiled bowl. Cover and leave to rise for 1 -2 hours, just until it's doubled in size.
Stand Mixer option – If using a stand mixer add all of the ingredients, including the 275ml of water and mix on slow for a few seconds. Increase the speed to about 4 and mix for about 5 minutes. Dribble in more water at the early stages of mixing if required. then go to step 4 above.
Image 1 = Adding the dry ingredients. Image 2 = Adding the water. Image 3 = The dough mid-knead. Image 4 = The dough after an hours rising (yours might take longer, it will depend upon how warm your kitchen is).
After the dough has doubled in size, tip it back onto your work surface and knock back by repeatedly pressing the dough in on itself.
Lightly oil your tin and press the dough into the tin. Don't worry if it does not quite reach the edges, it will fill in.
Cover and leave for about half an hour.
Ingredients = 4 sun-dried tomatoes rehydrated, approx 70g of feta cheese, 15-20 olives (I used black) halved.
Whilst your dough is rising from stage 2 crumble up your feta, halve the olives, rehydrate your sun-dried tomatoes and then chop them to the size you like.
When the half hour is up from stage 2, uncover the dough and press with your fingers to make indents all over the dough.
On one half of it sprinkle the filling. By this time the dough will be really stretchy and feel like silk.
Fold the other half over the filling and then re-stretch the dough to fill the tin. It shouldn't resist and should stretch easily.
Re-cover the dough and leave to rise for 1-2 hours – basically until it reaches the top of your tin.
Image 1 = Pressing the dough down. Image 2 = Adding the olives. Image 3 = Adding the sun-dried tomatoes. Image 4 = Adding the feta. Image 5 = Folding over. Image 6 = Folding over some more. Image 7 = Pressing into the tin. Image 8 = Pressing into the tin some more.
When your dough is almost risen from stage 3, pre – heat your oven to 200 (fan) or 220 (conventional).
Once the dough has risen to the top of the tin, sprinkle the rosemary all over the dough, drizzle with olive oil and then sprinkle on the salt.
Place in the pre-heated oven (in the centre) and bake for about 40-45 minutes until risen and golden. Check after 30 minutes to ensure the top isn't browning too quickly, if it is then cover lightly with lose foil.
At the end of the bake remove from the oven and the tin and cool on a wire rack.
Let cool slightly the devour!
Image 1 = Topping the dough before baking. Image 2 = The baked bread. Image 3 = The bread cut in half so you can see all of the lovely filling.
We ate some of this with pasta, it was really lovely. On the second day we toasted it on a griddle pan and added some grilled chicken to make a fancy chicken sandwich – it was totally divine!
I hope you enjoy making and eating this wonderful focaccia. Below is the printable recipe.
Super yummy - a real treat. It's best served warm.
Oil the bowl with a small amount of olive oil. Make a ball with the dough and pop it back into the oiled bowl. Cover and leave to rise for 1 – 2 hours, just until it's doubled in size.
After the dough has doubled in size, tip it back onto your work surface and knock back by repeatedly pressing the dough in on itself. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.Lightly oil your tin and press the dough into the tin. Don't worry if it does not quite reach the edges, it will fill in. Cover and leave for about half an hour.
Whilst your dough is rising from stage crumble up your feta, halve the olives, rehydrate your sun-dried tomatoes and then chop them to the size you like.
When the half hour is up from stage 6 above, uncover the dough and press with your fingers to make indents all over the dough.
On one half of it sprinkle the filling. By this time the dough will be really stretchy and feel like silk. Fold the other half over the filling and then re-stretch the dough to fill the tin. It shouldn't resist and should stretch easily. Re-cover the dough and leave to rise for 1-2 hours – basically until it reaches the top of your tin.
When your dough is almost risen from stage 9 above, pre – heat your oven to 200 (fan) or 220 (conventional).
Once the dough has risen to the top of the tin, sprinkle the rosemary all over the dough, drizzle with olive oil and then sprinkle on the salt. Place in the pre-heated oven (in the centre) and bake for about 40-45 minutes until risen and golden. Check after 30 minutes to ensure the top isn't browning too quickly, if it is then cover lightly with lose foil.
At the end of the bake remove from the oven and the tin. Let it cool slightly on a wire rack the devour!

Home India Here's ...
Here's How Strict India's Citizenship Test Can Really Be
To be recognized as Indian citizens, all residents of Assam have had to produce documents proving that they or their families lived in the country before March 24, 1971.
In India's Citizenship Test, a Spelling Error Can Ruin a Family. VOA
Riyazul Islam says he had to produce family documents going back to 1951 to prove he was of India and not an illegal Bangladeshi immigrant. But a draft list of citizens released in July excluded him and his mother, among a total of about 4 million people left off.
A wiry 33-year-old living in the northeastern state of Assam, Islam says he and his mother have no further documents left to prove they are Indians, although his father and many others in his family have been included in the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
"If my father is an Indian citizen how come I am not?" said Islam in an interview in the small Assam town of Dhubri, close to the border with Muslim-majority Bangladesh. "What more proof do they need?"
Anguish like this is now commonplace in Assam, where the Hindu nationalist government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi accelerated work on the citizen's list after coming to power in the state two years ago, promising to act against immigrants accused of stealing jobs and resources from locals.
The government has not given details of the four million excluded from the list. But most are believed to be minority Bengali-speaking Muslims living in the state, which has a total population of 33 million, mostly Assamese-speaking Hindus.
Many of those excluded are illiterate and poor, and some are victims of a spelling error in their names or a mistake in their age in documents offered for proof of citizenship, according to a review of their documents by Reuters.
Opposition parties say Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is denying citizenship to Muslims through the Assam list, and demonstrating its Hindu nationalist credentials with an eye on a general election due by May.
The BJP's Assam spokesman, Bijan Mahajan said there was no religion-based motive behind the citizenship drive.
"(This is) being opposed for political mileage whereas at ground zero there is absolutely no tension," he said.
However, Arun Jaitley, one of Modi's senior-most cabinet colleagues, said in a Facebook post this month that the NRC was necessary because the growth in the Hindu population of Assam had been overtaken by that of Muslims.
Ethnic Assamese have been agitating against outsiders in the state for decades. In 1983, about 2,000 people were chased down and killed by machete-armed mobs intent on hounding out Muslim immigrants. It has not been clearly established which group was behind the carnage.
The government has not given details of the four million excluded from the list. Flickr
The Assam NRC draft has excluded many Hindus too, but last weekend BJP chief Amit Shah assured citizenship to all non-Muslim refugees from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan by framing a new law.
It is not clear what will happen to those excluded from the final list of citizens, due to be published by the end of the year. But lawyers say they may end up in detention camps, or at the very least be denied citizenship rights and government subsidies.
They could also be struck off voter rolls, which will be an important factor in at least half a dozen Assam constituencies in a general election.
Spelling Errors
In Dhubri, a farming town on the northern bank of the Brahmaputra River upstream from the Bangladesh border, those who did not make it to the list were fearful of discussing it in public.
But inside their homes, several of those excluded showed a Reuters reporter tattered pieces of paper, including birth, school and marriage certificates dating back years and preserved carefully in plastic envelopes.
Such government-issued documents in the countryside often contain spelling or numerical errors, as the illiterate depend on others to write down details. Getting birth certificates made was also not common until recent years in many parts of the country.
Such mistakes can lead to loss of citizenship, said Aman Wadud, a lawyer who has handled dozens of cases of illegal immigration at Assam's foreigner tribunals.
"With Muslims, there is a problem of title (surnames)," said Wadud. "Because most of the accused are illiterate they don't use a constant title. Ali, Ahmed, Hussain are used interchangeably."
He showed Reuters a tribunal judgment on a resident named Tajab Ali, who submitted a series of voters lists as proof of his citizenship going back to 1966. He said his name had been wrongly recorded as Tajap Ali instead of Tajab Ali in the 1985 voters list, and his father's name wrongly recorded as Surman Ali Munshi instead of Surman Ali. There were also discrepancies in his age.
The tribunal said Ali submitted an affidavit "declaring various names of himself, his projected father, and mother. But an affidavit being only a self-declaration, it has no evidentiary value."
Sajida Bibi, Islam's mother, also fell victim to a wrongly entered name.
One of the documents she submitted to prove citizenship and shown to Reuters by the family, was an affidavit saying her name had been wrongly recorded as "Sabahan Bibi" in the 1951 citizenship registry, the first one drawn up in the state after India's independence in 1947. The affidavit also said she was named as "Sahajadi Begum" in her school certificate, and that she changed her name to "Sajida Bibi" from "Sajida Begum" after her marriage.
She swore in the affidavit that all three were the same person here. The tribunal did not accept the affidavit.
Reuters reviewed copies of at least two other recent tribunal judgements in which people had been declared foreigners because of name and age-related errors and in which affidavits were not accepted.
"Not Against Muslims"
Much of the over 2,500-mile-long border between India and Bangladesh is porous, through which hundreds of thousands of people fled from Bangladesh during its India-backed war of independence from Pakistan in 1971.
A man, whose name is left off of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) draft, stands in a line to collect forms to file appeals at an NRC Sewa Kendra (NSK) in Guwahati. VOA
New Delhi said in 2016 that around 20 million illegal Bangladeshi migrants were living in India. Activists who filed a petition in the Supreme Court in 2009 to expel such immigrants alleged over 4 million of them had been included in Assam's 2006 voter list.

"For 38 years, we've been fighting to protect the language, culture and identity of our indigenous people in our own motherland," said Samujjal Bhattacharya, an adviser to the All Assam Students Union (AASU), an organization that has spearheaded the campaign against illegal immigrants.
But Bhattacharya said the NRC was not biased against any community.
"It's not against Muslims, it is not against Hindus, it is not against Bengalis," Bhattacharya said. "It's against illegal Bangladeshis. It is a question of citizens and non-citizens." (VOA)

Factors Associated with Depression Among Mexican Americans Living in U.S.–Mexico Border and Non-Border Areas
Patrice A C Vaeth, Raul Caetano, Britain A. Mills
Health Care Sciences
Factors associated with CES-D depression among Mexican Americans living on and off the U.S.–Mexico border are examined. Data are from two studies of Mexican American adults. The Border Survey conducted face-to-face interviews in urban U.S.–Mexico border counties of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas (N = 1307). The non-border HABLAS survey conducted face-to-face interviews in Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and Miami (N = 1288). Both surveys used a multistage cluster sample design with response rates of 67 and 76 %, respectively. The multivariate analysis showed that border residence and higher perceived neighborhood collective efficacy were protective for depression among men. Among men, lower education, unemployment, increased weekly drinking, and poor health status were associated with depression. Among women, alcohol-related problems and poorer health status were also associated with depression. Further examinations of how neighborhood perceptions vary by gender and how these perceptions influence the likelihood of depression are warranted.

A career in translating can not only be challenging, it can also be fulfilling as well. You can take pride in taking text or speech and converting it into another language while still keeping its subtext and true meaning. While a translating career isn't something that is meant for everyone, there are people who suited for this career path if they have the necessary skills. If you are interested in a career in translating, then keep reading to see if you have the skills necessary.
• Attention to detail. Translating can at times be a meticulous job. You need to make sure that whatever you translating or converting stays as true to the original source as possible. Besides converting text or speech, you also need to revise as well. There will be times where you will need to revise your work over and over until you or your employer is satisfied with your work.
• Proofreading skills. This goes along with the attention to detail skill, but you must have impeccable grammatical and proofreading skills. Your translation may be great but unless you have the grammar to piece everything together, your hard work may be for naught. Make sure to hone your proofreading skills.
• Flexibility. When it comes to translation, there are many things that can change quickly. It's up to you to be able to change and adapt to whatever is occurring. You must also be prepared to learn new skills and be efficient in these skills. It's not surprising that down your translating career you will need to learn necessary skills such as transcription and copywriting. Don't ever stay stagnant in your career as that can ultimately lead to less and less opportunities to advance in your career.
• Knowledge in the subject you are translating. There will be some translator's that will need a master's degree depending on the work they wish to do. Those interested in fields such as finance or engineering will need to be knowledgeable and specialize in these subjects. While not every translator will need a master's degree, it's important that you really understand and know about the subject you are translating.
• Organizational skills. When it comes to a career in translating, you will realize that this is a deadline driven job. You need to make sure to organize your time to meet all your deadlines without being highly stressed or aggravated. It is also important to keep on top of all your filing and paperwork as messy desks can lead to delays or even worse, mix-ups between your projects.
• Interpersonal skills. Not only will you have to interact with clients, you must have great networking skills with your co-workers. Often times you will work with other translators to revise or work on big projects together. It's important to keep your relationships professional and to have great customer service skills. Remember that you will not get along with everyone but that doesn't mean you should not be able to professionally work with them until the task is complete.

Coalition unwound
Illustration by Manos Symeonakis for Cartoon Movement http://www.cartoonmovement.com/p/6035
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras marked one year in the job on Friday by becoming the leader of what was effectively Greece's fifth government in four years after Democratic Left's decision to drop out of the coalition left his New Democracy party and PASOK as the two that remained from a previous partnership of three. The dire economic situation, the pressure of its lenders and the historical absence of consensus politics in Greece meant it was always going to be a challenging job. Samaras enters the second year of his premiership on an equally shaky footing.
Democratic Left's departure had been in the making for some time. The three parties that formed the coalition in June 2012 did so knowing that Greece had been balancing on the precipice but their intention of moving the country to safer ground soon lost its potential to drive this three-wheeled vehicle on. Beyond securing Greece's place in the euro and rebuilding trust with the skeptical troika, there was no grand, or even less pronounced, vision to spur the coalition's efforts. As the drachma risk faded and lenders were placated, so the three-party government's raison d'etre dissolved. It was replaced by friction fuelled by each party's desire to stake its claim to any positive development and distance itself from anything negative. As the stardust was blown away, the political and ideological splits were revealed.

Happy anniversary. How about a reform?
Illustration by Manos Symeonakis http://www.cartoonmovement.com/p/6035
It is one year to the day since Greece held its second general election in two months and third in three years. What better way to celebrate the occasion than trying to relive the uncertainty and tension we experienced during the summer of 2012? The leaders of Greece's three coalition parties go into a meeting this evening with the future of their government less secure than it has been at any point during the 12 months. The cause of their dispute suggests that even if this crisis is overcome, deeper problems lie ahead.
The spark that threatens to burn the house down is the closure of public broadcaster ERT. Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, who ordered the shutdown, suggested over the weekend that the bigger picture in this standoff is that he is a reformer and the others, both in his government and in opposition, are not. But what does he really mean by reform?
His justification for closing ERT was that it was overstaffed, too expensive and a source of corruption. Greece needs a more modern broadcaster, along the lines of the BBC, it has been suggested. All of these things may be true to a greater or lesser extent but there has been no attempt by the government to back this up with any substance, just the standard smattering of platitudes.

ERT: From test card to test case for Greece
Having ploughed on through a number of sticky patches over the last 12 months, it would be more than careless of Greece's coalition government to sink into the mire due to differences over how to deal with public broadcaster ERT. Yet, a year on from when a second election in June led to the formation of the three-party administration, its future seems less secure than ever.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras's decision to announce on Tuesday the immediate closure of the state TV and radio service left his coalition partners, Evangelos Venizelos of PASOK and Fotis Kouvelis of Democratic Left, apoplectic and demanding a meeting, which will take place on Monday and could put the administration at risk if a compromise is not found. They had not consented to this move and there had been no debate about it in Parliament. A legislative act was signed only by the ministers from Samaras's conservative New Democracy party and, after 75 years, the broadcaster went silent.
The problem for Samaras is that the backlash to his decision was rather noisy. ERT employees refused to comply with orders to abandon their posts and continued to broadcast with the help of volunteers who got the broadcaster's main TV news channel, NET, back on air. Thousands of people gathered outside the service's headquarters in northeastern Athens and opposition parties condemned the decision. Criticism soon began arriving from journalism federations outside Greece. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) also labelled the shutdown "a damning first in the history of European Broadcasting." In a letter to Samaras, 50 director generals of Europe's public broadcasters said his action was "undemocratic and unprofessional".

ERT off air: Thought for the day
One of the great moments in global radio is BBC Four's "Thought for the Day." Greek state broadcaster ERT is one of many that have adopted the format, giving a couple of minutes of airtime on its Second Program to the great and good musing about faith, current affairs and life in general. One can only wonder, though, exactly what the government's thought for the day was when it decided to shut down ERT and dismiss some 2,700 staff on Tuesday.
There was plenty wrong with ERT, which had long been treated like most other parts of the public sector by successive governments who felt they had supporters to take care of and money to burn. Its 19 regional radio stations speak of an excess that was simply unsustainable. Thessaloniki, a city with 800,000 inhabitants, had three radio stations when Inner London, which has a population of more than 3 million, has only one.
There was also a lot to cherish about ERT, though. It continued to make challenging documentaries when practically nobody else in Greece did. Its stations played music that nobody else would. Even its insistence on sticking with tinny 80s theme tunes for its news and sports shows had a naive charm about it. Most of all, though, it did the job that all national broadcasters should do by being a common reference point for millions. There are few more emotional experiences one can have listening to the radio than hearing Diaspora Greeks cast to the four corners of the earth calling in to a Saturday night show on the Second Program to request Greek songs and share their memories and feelings about the homeland they left behind.

Consensus, conviction and the anti-racism bill
It was fitting that a debate about the late British Prime Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was being held on Monday night in Athens at the same time as Greece's three coalition leaders were trying to reach a compromise over an anti-racism bill. Since Thatcher was a self-professed opponent of consensus and saw herself as a "conviction politician," she may have been smiling down as the heads of the tripartite government failed to find common ground.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras certainly presented himself as a leader with convictions when he took over New Democracy following the party's disastrous showing in the 2009 general elections. Although less than four years have passed since then, it seems like light years away. Samaras has since had to shed many of his convictions, going from anti-memorandum crusader, to peacemaker with the troika and now standard bearer for fiscal adjustment. Greece's economic plight and the endless capacity for the country's substandard political system to tie itself into knots led the conservative leader down the path of compromise. Here, perhaps Thatcher's statement that compromise "seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies" is particularly apt.
There is, however, one thing that Samaras did not abandon, which is his apparent persuasion that New Democracy, and perhaps Greece, can be revived by appealing to the conservative streak that runs through the country. Faithfulness to tradition, religion, the nation and the armed forces are notions that can rally Greeks and unite enough of the population behind a cause to follow, Samaras seems to believe.

LG BL40 Chocolate Touch coming to Europe this month, everywhere else in October
Chris Ziegler
As much as we'd love to believe otherwise, our gut and Verizon's track record are both telling us that the BL40 probably bears no resemblance to the Chocolate Touch that Big Red's about to get. That doesn't mean LG's gorgeous mile-long slab isn't coming to North America, though -- we'd heard a long while back that it might be coming to Telus, whose new HSPA network is currently slated for an October launch. Coincidentally, fresh PR out of corporate reveals that the phone will be hitting "the rest of the world" in October following European kickoffs in the middle of this month, and if this isn't the perfect launch device for a brand new Canadian network, we really can't think what is. One way or another, LG says the phone will ultimately end up launching in 50 countries around the world -- so no matter where you are, you've got about a 1 in 4 chance you'll get a shot at this in the coming months without calling up your importer and taking out a second mortgage.

Pumpernickel had great customer service. We scheduled the delivery time ahead of time anyway (5pm for 7pm dinner), so it wasn't a big deal that they were 15 minutes late. They were very good about continually updating me on the delivery status and it was also New Year's Eve. As for the food itself, the portions were good-sized and the oxtail stew in particular was a hit. The only thing we didn't like as much were the mini quiches, but the rest tasted good and had everyone satisfied.
he burger was too cold as it deliver too early.

Wrestlemania Comes To Tampa By Kaitlyn Grayson
Jaggar Henry
Recently, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) announced the location for Wrestlemania 36, which will be in Tampa on Sunday April 5, 2020, at the Raymond James Stadium.
The event will bring other events along with it. On Friday and Saturday, there will be a "Takeover" pay-per-view event from their NXT brand, and a Hall of Fame ceremony honoring wrestlers from the past. On Monday and Tuesday, there will be special post-Wrestlemania episodes of Monday Night Raw and Tuesday Night Smackdown Live. There are also events during the week where fans can meet some of the wrestlers and buy merchandise.
If you are not familiar with the WWE, Wrestlemania is the biggest event in all of pro-wrestling. It has been held annually every year for 35 years and counting. People hope to see some former top stars return, like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and John Cena, while seeing some of the current top stars, like Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, and a former UFC champion, Ronda Rousey. Tickets are not available at the moment, but tend to be up to hundreds or thousands of dollars, depending on if you sit up higher in the "nosebleed" seats, or ringside, right next to all of the wrestlers.
Having WWE's biggest pay-per-view event in Tampa will bring many people from all over to the Sunshine State to see it. Just like WWE's most recent Wrestlemania (Wrestlemania 35), there will be thousands of people in attendance from all over the world. The rush of people to Florida for the events can bring many benefits to other places in Florida, like the increase in tourism to help them make more money.
As of right now, no matches have been announced for the events. But we look forward to watching it!

Physics Undergraduate Programs
Engineering Physics Undergraduate Programs
Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences. From the large questions such as dark energy and the origin of the universe, to the science underlying solar cells, the GPS in the car, and that iPhone in your pocket, the importance of physics is readily apparent.
Physics majors obtain a solid foundation in physics and mathematics in preparation for a technical or scientific career. Our students can study theoretical topics in fields such as astrophysics and general relativity, quantum mechanics, and condensed matter physics, as well as gain experimental experience in fields such as nanotechnology, optics, lasers or solid-state physics.
Engineering Physics majors receive the professional, multidisciplinary, ABET-accredited, engineering education that is in strong demand by today's industries. Instruction from both physicists and professional engineers incorporate engineering standards and realistic constraints to prepare our students for careers in industry, government, and higher education, while instilling a desire for lifelong learning.
Students are encouraged to join TU's local chapter of the Society of Physics Students, and those with outstanding academics are selected for membership in the organization's honor society, Sigma Pi Sigma.
Sigma Pi Sigma Student Organization
Sigma Pi Sigma honors outstanding scholarship in physics, encourages interest in physics among students at all levels, promotes an attitude of service of its members toward their fellow students, colleagues, and the public, and provides a fellowship of students who have excelled in physics. Sigma Pi Sigma's mission includes the four dimensions of honor, encouragement, service, and fellowship along with a permanent goal of professional achievement and career success.
The Society of Physics Students was formed in 1968 with the union of Sigma Pi Sigma and the AIP Student Sections. Today, Sigma Pi Sigma is housed within the SPS.
Founded in 1921, Sigma Pi Sigma is a member honor society of the Association of College Honor Societies. With 75,000 historical members, election to the organization is a lifetime membership.
Sigma Pi Sigma chapters are restricted to colleges and universities of recognized standing that offer a strong physics major. Membership involves undergraduate and graduate students, faculty members, and a few others in closely related fields. Students elected to membership must attain high standards of general scholarship and outstanding achievement in physics.
Certain high numerical standards for admittance are established by chapter bylaws and the national constitution. Undergraduate candidates must be in the upper one-third of their class in general scholarship to meet the minimum standard that chapters may use. A higher minimum average is often established for physics courses. Undergraduate candidates must have completed at least three semesters of full-time college work and at least three semester courses in physics that can be credited toward a physics major. Graduate students and faculty members may be elected at any time. Students who are not physics majors can be elected, provided that they meet the standards and demonstrate an interest in physics.

Our physics and engineering physics graduates receive a strong foundation in their particular major but, just as importantly, they also learn how to think. This places them in high demand as flexible problem solvers. After earning their undergraduate degree, many alumni pursue advanced degrees in physics, engineering or multidisciplinary programs (such as nanotechnology or material science). The high acceptance rate into law and medical schools of physics graduates has led others to successful professional careers. Many of our students begin their careers at some of the country's top companies including Google, Intel, Caterpillar, Lockheed and ConocoPhillips. Others choose positions in government such as the U.S. Armed Forces or Federal National Laboratories.
Our department also has a long history of educational outreach to the public. Our faculty have conducted many state-funded workshops to train K-12 educators in teaching science and math and have hosted other events such as fun and educational physics shows. The TU Physics Journal Club, often cited as TU's most successful outreach program, draws well over 100 physics aficionados monthly to discuss the latest progress in physics.
Apply to the Summer Undergraduate Research Program in Physics (SURPP)
SURPP is a formal program available to current undergraduate and entering freshman in physics and engineering physics. Under this program, students work with a faculty member in physics on a topic of research from the day after Memorial Day to the last Friday on July. Student currently not enrolled at TU are not eligible. Apply.

About 1.9 million Chinese tourists visited Cambodia in 2018, up from 1.2 million the previous year. That figure is expected to increase further as 2019 is the China-Cambodia culture and tourism year. The country expects to welcome 3 million Chinese tourists by 2020.
While Australia has seen a significant increase in Chinese tourist arrivals the last few years, the country is being warned to not take those tourists for granted, particularly as the Chinese economy slows. A recent UBS report on Chinese overseas travel intentions found a decline in people's plans to visit Australia.

The Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s had a significant impact on the African and Caribbean intellectuals, authors, and artists living in France. The Negritude, a literary movement of French intellectuals - not only in Africa but also in the Caribbean and South America, marked one of the essential aspects in Colonial literature and art. It was a rupture between the French culture and civilization and a newly introduced, refined, sophisticated, post-colonial movement that had roots in pre-colonial Africa. La Negritude as a movement began in Paris in between two wars (WWI and WWII). During this period, the ruling ideology of the colonist – was otherwise known as tabula rasa. The French argued that it brought values to African, which before were non-existent. The founders or the pioneers of the Negritude were three black intellectuals, Leopold Senghor - Senegal, Leon Gontran – French Guyana, and Aimé Césaire – Martinique. The movement was influenced by influential authors such as Langston Hughes and Claude Mc Kay of Harlem Renaissance.32
La négritude se présente sous deux aspects : objectif et subjectif […]. C'est objectivement l'ensemble des valeurs de civilisation du monde noir, dont le sens de la communion, le don de l'image analogique, le don du rythme fait de parallélismes asymétriques. D'un mot c'est une certaine dialectique, mieux une symbiose entre l'intelligence et l'âme, l'esprit et la matière, l'homme et la femme, etc. La négritude est aussi une certaine volonté et une certaine manière de vivre les valeurs que voilà. C'est surtout ce dernier sens que lui donne Aimé Césaire. […]33
(Adaptation) Negritude presents itself in two aspects: objective and subjective […]. It is objectively the set of values of civilization in the black world, including the sense of communion, the gift of analogical image, the gift of rhythm made of asymmetric parallelisms. In a word, it is a certain dialectic, better a symbiosis between intelligence and soul, spirit and matter, man and woman, etc. Negritude is also a certain will and a certain way of living these values. It is especially this last meaning that Aimé Césaire gives it.
L'école de Dakar
The Negritude was a form of self-expression and liberation of African and Caribbean authors and artists – one of the most prominent was Aimé Cesaire with his poetry. Ecole de Dakar, more so than a school, was a movement - of self-affirmation. The school was dedicated to art and the promotion of Senegalese artists, self-expression, creativity, and authenticity.
Léopold Sédar Senghor, the first Senegalese President, became one of the promoters of the school by advocating native art, culture, national museums, and various events and festivals. The art featured in these exhibitions was a form of liberation from the influences of colonialism. It marked a new period of creativity and development known as the Africanité. As the Senegalese President - Senghor - established better conditions for art by funding art schools. During this time, one of the prominent artists was the modern painter Papa Ibra Tall (1935-2015).


At a Trump rally in North Carolina, a pastor says the Democratic candidate needs to be saved.
A Donald Trump surrogate said during a campaign event Monday morning that Bernie Sanders needs to find Jesus. Sanders, of course, is Jewish. Many of his Polish relatives on his father's side were killed during the Holocaust.
The comment came at a rally in Hickory, North Carolina, on Monday morning, as Pastor Mark Burns warmed up the crowd for Trump—who was running late because of a plane delay. Burns, who has spoken at previous Trump events, told the audience that in order to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate, Sanders needs to accept Christianity.
Watch Burns' comments in the video below, starting around the 5:26 mark.
Did Bernie Sanders Oppose the Auto Rescue?


The Chicago Tribune recently ran a story stating that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was going to relax pollution rules for new ethanol production plants in the US. This action by way of changing the way those plants are permitted to operate under the Clean Air Act. Existing rules quantify plants such as ethanol production facilities as major source of pollution if they emit more than 100 tons of toxic chemicals per year. Once determined to be a 'major polluter', these plants are subject to certain restrictions which include being forced to install pollution elimination equipment and, and an intensive permit process. The pollution elimination equipment is required to remove nearly 95% of the polluting emissions.
The proposed changes, once in effect, would mean that ethanol plants would not be subject to these federal requirements unless they emitted more than twice the current amount of pollutants. The author of the Chicago Tribune article reports that (new) ethanol plants are expected to produce slightly less than 250 tons of pollutants per year. This might seem to be unfair as other, current plants producing an equivalent amount of pollutants would be required to reduce the expelled amount to some 10 tons while a new ethanol plant would not have to do so. Granted, ethanol production, once it becomes less expensive could be worthwhile but, is the exchange for polluting our environment worth the trade off?
Oil prices have fallen some 25 percent since mid-July's record high of $78.40 which is a welcome trend for consumers but, OPEC apparently wants to keep the price as high as possible. The cost per barrel of oil had dropped to around $56 per barrel and OPEC began curbing production in order to get the price going back up. OPEC wasn't scheduled to have another meeting until December of 2006 but, the recent low in prices spurred them into more immediate action and they scheduled an emergency meeting on October 19, 2006. The main agenda for the meeting. cuts in daily production of 1 million barrels per day, the first cutback in production since April, 2004. This action was left as open ended statement, meaning that further cuts in production could be incurred by the end of the year 2006.
The summer of 2006 saw an all time high in gasoline prices and increased attention in alternative fuels such as E85. OPEC wants to keep oil prices high enough to allow them to continue future production yet, low enough that countries like the US won't be overly concerned with finding alternative fuel sources. OPEC probably considers this method to be a good business practice and if it were any business in North America, you might agree but, this is not the case. A term that comes to mind is exploitation; these foreign countries are exercising a method that simply keeps them in at a level of control. The higher oil prices we experienced stirred up a higher interest in ethanol production in the US and OPEC doesn't want us to stray from buying their overpriced oil, especially when you factor in how cheaply they sell the same refined gasoline in their own countries.
America, and other countries that are buying foreign oil need to band together and develop our own resources whether it be additional exploration and drilling for oil or creating better methods for producing alternative, renewable fuels. It is well beyond time for us to step back from OPEC and say we don't have to pay your high prices for oil, and we won't do it anymore. Why are we so ready to continue paying these other countries for something we can do ourselves - is it simply because we don't have the drive to get off of our collective butts or because having it so readily available is easy?
Gov. Brian Schweitzer of Montana says we should eliminate the middleman. A system where the U.S. sends food to a Third World country and buys oil from that same country is wrong and we should make fuel from that food stock. Most people and Biofuel proponents alike can see the economic benefits and potential of reduced dependency on foreign oil. Critics wonder about the inefficiency of biofuel and question whether if it's worth protecting against global market forces. No doubt there are economic gains to be realized with increased biofuel manufacturing, but experts warn biofuel production must match demand or it could become another form of corporate welfare. Schweitzer's proposal has been called extreme and protectionist by some analysts. Stopping food exports and lowering oil imports could affect food and energy prices around the world, so the transition away from foreign oil should be slow to avoid shocking the system.

Yes. Any other questions?
How many do you have?
That's all I'm gonna say about that.
A lot? I only counted five.
The rest of 'em are...
hidden.
Hidden where?
They're...
Hi, guys.
Abby was just about to show us her...
AFIS... program.
Right...
Carson?
So, if the mass spectrometer is the king of the land, this little darling is definitely the queen.
In the last four years, we've made over 200 arrests
thanks to AFIS fingerprint matches.
We?
It's a team effort.
So this is an L SCAN.
All you do... is put your index finger on the glass and...
voilà, you're in the system.
- I want to try it.
As we speak, the program is filtering through
a database filled with millions of prints.
The majority of them were recorded after somebody's arrest.
So, assuming that you haven't served any hard time, I doubt we're gonna get a...
NCIS Season 5 Episode 9 Lost and found
Where is Gibbs?
It's been like 20 minutes.
Abby, it's been like four minutes.
In little kid time, that's like 20.
Gibbs will be here any second.
He looks so scared.
Seems fine.
If you're gonna be heartless, that's on you, McGee.
I'm going in.
To say what?
Exactly. Like I said, we need to wait for Gibbs.
Who's Gibbs?
Agent Gibbs, he's our boss.
Am I in trouble?
No, no, no, Carson. Not at all.
What about the AMIS thing?
AFIS.
You know what? I'm... I'm just gonna go back to work.
Where are the other kids?
The tour ended early.
How am I gonna get home?
We're gonna figure that out.
The computer said I was abducted.
That's like kidnapped, right?
Kidnapped, as in... stolen?
I'm sure there's some sort of explanation.
You guys messed up.
Wouldn't be the first time.
Special Agent Gibbs.
To some people.
Thought you might be thirsty.
I'm not supposed to drink soda after 3:00.
Given the situation, I think my mom would understand.
Moms usually do.
So... you guys figure this thing out yet?
It's been a long day.
I know you're looking to get out of here.
You're right. Who's driving?
Hold on.
We're gonna talk first.
Knew that'd be too easy.
Before we start, can I ask you guys a question?
Yeah. Shoot.
Do I look like a missing kid?
I mean, come on. I'm a Youth Ranger.
He's got a good point.
And I'm from Franklin, which means I can't be missing,
'cause nothing cool ever happens there.
That bad, huh?
Worse.
We only live there 'cause it's close to the woods.
My dad goes most weekends.
Hunting or camping?
Teaching.
He shows people how to live without phones, lights, that kind of stuff.
He's super tough like...
Russell Crowe in "Gladiator".
Sounds like a cool dad.
Coolest.
He's taught me pretty much everything he knows.
That explains all the badges.
Eighteen. Second most in my troop.
Took me close to three years.
I bet your dad's real proud of you.
My mom, too.
Is it okay if I ask one more question?
When can I go home?
This is exactly like "The Deep End of the Ocean".
Michelle Pfeiffer movie. Infant son...
Kidnapped. Reunited with the mother ten years later.
It's very "Lifetime".
"Lifetime"?
The cable Network.
Geared towards women.
You'd hate it.
Seriously Probie, I don't make enough fun of you?
Knock it off, DiNozzo.
All roads lead to the father, boss.
Brian Matthews, native of DC, married his high school sweetheart, Lisa, at 19.
Two months later, Carson was born.
Good old shotgun wedding.
Six weeks after giving birth, Lisa Drowned.
Death was ruled accidental.
Brian Matthews took it bad, lost his job, started hanging with the wrong crowd.
The dead wife's mother sued him for full custody of Carson and won.
Explains why he took Carson and ran.
Somebody just earned their detective badge.
You talk to the grandmother?
No. Died a year ago.
Heart attack.
Brian Matthews became Brian Taylor, ended up living in Franklin.
He and Carson started a new life.
Remarried?
Lieutenant Elaine Taylor.
Works anti-fraud for Naval Procurement.
Think she knows?
Well, there's only one way to find out.
McGee.
Lose the uni.
Where's the kid?
Abby's got him.
Our Abby?
Alone with a minor?
NCIS.
Oh, my God, Carson? Wha-What happened?
Carson's fine.
He's still in DC.
I don't understand. What's this about?
Your husband.
He's wanted for kidnapping.
Be better if we came inside, Lieutenant.
This is all a big misunderstanding.
I'd rather hear that from Brian.
You will, on Tuesday, when he gets back.
Gets back?
He's away, teaching a class.
Black Ridge Woods.
Survival class.
Carson mentioned it.
Of course he did.
He's very proud of his father.
Is there any way to contact your husband?
First rule of survivalism: no phones, no radios, so if you want to talk to Brian before Tuesday, you're gonna have to go find him.
Processed Taylor's office, his files, computer, maps of Black Ridge, What?
Look around, Tony.
Tell me what you see.
I... see...
"Zero-Hour". It's a great flick.
Swimsuit editions.
Bet his dad's been looking for these.
Wait a second.
No. Ho, oh, oh!
You know what this is? This is a red Ferrari G. T.
Just like Magnum!
Just like Magnum.
I can't...
Even the rims are the same.
You're missing the point.
Which is?
The room, Tony.
Does it remind you of someone?
You think this comes in a king?
How much do you know about Brian's past?
I know that he had it rough.
He didn't know his dad and his mom died when he was 16.
Carson's mother?
You're looking at her.
Biological?
She drowned. That's all I know.
Never been curious?
Brian is a very private person.
He's your husband.
And I'm his wife, not his therapist, Agent McGee.
How'd you two meet?
I took his class... and hated it.
I thought some time in the woods would do me good sleeping under the stars, relieve some stress.
Didn't work, huh?
I got poison ivy. Everywhere.
Brian rushed me home and a couple of months later, I moved in with him and Carson.
I want my son.
Stepson.
You never legally adopted him.
So, legally, we can't release him to you.
This is completely ridiculous. You can't do this.
What have you done with him? Where is he?
He's at NCIS, for now.
Legal or not, he's my child.
You can't possibly expect for me to let him stay with some stranger.
That or Social Services.
Your choice, Lieutenant.
I need to see him.
You have kids, Agent Gibbs?
No. I don't.
I didn't think so.
24-hours surveillance on the house.
If she makes a phone call, McGee, I want to know about it.
What about Carson?
Hands are tied, Ziva.
Untie them. You can't just keep him from his mother.
Not his mother.
She raised him.
You want a family reunion, Ziva?
Prove she wasn't involved.
This 2001 animated film starred Mike Myers and spawned two sequels.
What is... "Shrek"?
Also starring Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy.
Correct. Okay.
Oscars?
Best Animated Feature.
Nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, but lost to a Beautiful Mind.
What's amazing?
I'm playing Box Office Trivia with Carson, and he's got mad skills.
1, 500 points!
New high score.
DiNozzo's reign is over.
What are you? Some kind of little savant?
Whenever my dad leaves, my mom and I stay up late and watch movies.
Tony's record stood for over two years.
My dad leaves a lot.
Is that my dad's computer?
We had to borrow it for a little bit.
How come?
I just have to look through his stuff.
You know, to try to help sort this out.
And while she is doing that, you and I are gonna hang.
How does that sound, man? We'll get some pizza, play some video games, maybe a movie.
Your mom packed that for you.
It looked to me like she put some pretty nice stuff in there.
That is a very nice DVD player.
My mom wouldn't let me bring it on the bus when I left.
We got in a huge fight.
I left without kissing her good-bye.
You know the great thing about moms is that whatever you do or say, they always forgive you.
All right, so, what kind of pizza are we going to get?
I need a signature.
Carson Taylor. Turning him over to Social Services.
What about his stepmother?
No, not his legal guardian, and way too many unanswered questions.
I'm just surprised that you're not trying to talk me into letting him stay with someone from here.
Not an option. We're not babysitters.
So you're turning him over to Child Welfare?
No. You are.
You are.
Soon as you sign it.
It's late on Friday night.
I mean, who's still hanging around in Social Services?
Have you got a better idea?
He can stay with me.
But given my options, it's the decision I'm making.
Okay, you should meet your new houseguest.
Guarantee he's better than the last.
Jethro... this is a case report.
Not a custody transfer.
Must've grabbed the wrong folder.
Looks like we missed the party.
At his age, the party never ends.
Could be a long night.
Not just for you, Director.
I lifted Brian Taylor's prints off his computer and his files.
AFIS got another hit.
They were all over a Beretta used in an unsolved shooting in May of '98.
The same month Brian and Carson disappeared.
He's not running because he kidnapped Carson.
He's running because he's wanted for murder.
Black Ridge Woods are closed off.
DC Metro's cold case files are already en route.
En route?
Offered to hand deliver.
And you agreed?
That's one of the oldest tricks in the book, the hand delivery, Ziva.
It's Metro's way of making sure they stay involved in the case.
Why else would they personally deliver the files?
To see your pretty face, DiNozzo.
It's been a long time.
Not long enough, Collins.
Old friends?
Detective Collins is on Metro's cold case squad.
He and I worked a couple homicides back when I was on Baltimore P. D.
And, unfortunately, we're 0-for-2.
Third time's a charm.
Catch a break we'll have this case closed by Monday.
"We"?
Danielle Hamilton.
I'm looking forward to working with you.
Hey, DiNozzo, think you could rustle up some coffee?
Sure thing.
This is not my fault.
Tell that to Gibbs.
Here's the other one.
Maybe you could turn it off now!
I said maybe you could turn off the siren now!
You need to turn off the damn siren!
You think that's funny?
Very.
Let's see.
You've seen autopsy, and you've seen my lab...
You've seen everything.
Not... everything.
Forget about the tattoos, okay?
It is not happening.
Come on, not even a little peek?
Hey, big man.
Come to take me home, Agent Gibbs?
I'm not going home, am I?
Not tonight.
I want my mom.
I mean... she must be worried.
She misses you.
It's Friday night.
Fright Night.
We make double-fudge S'Mores and watch scary movies.
It sounds nice.
You want to call her? Make sure she's doing okay.
She'd like that.
Hello. How are you doing?
Yeah, I'm okay.
Yeah, I'm okay, but I miss you.
You know I love you, don't you?
Miss you. I love you, too.
Hey, have you started the S'Mores yet?
No, not yet.
Make sure to save some for me.
Of course I will.
May second of '98, two assailants enter the Stop 'N Go Mart, our witnesses describe them both as Caucasian, about six foot, a buck-seventy.
Description matches Brian Taylor.
Matches a lot of people.
Including you, Collins.
Give or take five pounds, maybe ten.
Clerk hands over the cash without any argument or struggle.
But that wasn't enough.
Dead before he hit the floor.
Motive?
Thrill, Officer David.
We believe we're dealing with two cold-blooded killers.
We've been over this case a thousand times, it's textbook.
You haven't solved it.
Some cases take time.
Nine years?
We've been looking for a lead.
And now we've found it.
We found it.
We have boxes of DNA evidence from the scene.
We'll find a match.
All we need is Brian Taylor.
Good luck finding him, he's teaching a class in Black Ridge.
Okay, so we send out a search party.
If he hears us coming, his students become hostages.
So we just wait?
Yeah, you never were very good at that, were you, Collins?
You still have the highest arrest rate in your precinct?
Still bucking for that Captain's job.
Found something.
Filtered through Brian Taylor's electronic maps.
He keeps a log of all his locations: training exercises, rest areas, and most importantly...
His base camp.
Seven miles from Highway 9.
If we leave now, we can be there by morning.
Take Ziva.
We'll follow.
No, I don't think so, Detective.
Here to help, Agent Gibbs.
Good. Let's go over all that evidence you have.
And then... you can help... when I ask.
Yeah, Gibbs.
Sorry to call so late, Agent Gibbs.
Hey, Carson, you okay?
I just remembered a couple things I thought you should know.
About my dad.
I'll be right there.
Well, looks like it's just you and me, David.
Nothing more relaxing than a long road trip.
I'm driving.
I'm dead.
Surprised it took you so long.
To check up on me.
Except that's not why you're here, is it?
Which explains where my cell phone went.
Kids.
Jazz.
His favorite.
Ziva was right.
DiNozzo.
You get lost, Agent Gibbs?
I called almost an hour ago.
Well, I'm here now.
You want to tell me why?
You get mad easily?
Depends on who you ask.
I lied... about my dad.
I just wanted you to come over.
To talk.
Want me to start?
You're the one with the questions.
Why can't I go home?
Because we need time to do our job.
You mean to find my dad?
You think he did something wrong?
Not sure yet.
My dad never breaks the rules.
This is all my fault.
Me and my stupid field trip...
Carson... this is not your fault.
It was my fingerprint.
What are you going to do when you find him?
Talk.
He'll tell you the truth, Agent Gibbs.
He says telling the truth is his number one rule.
Well, he sounds like my kind of guy.
Mine, too.
Time for Letterman.
Time for bed.
But I'm not even tired.
Can I finish my hot chocolate first?
I forgot.
How good you are with kids.
You think he knows more than he's letting on?
Think he's worried about his dad, that's why he doesn't want to go to sleep.
Guess he's not worried anymore.
Together outside of the office.
If you don't count hospitals and car chases.
Yeah, once upon a time, I would have asked you to stay.
And I wouldn't have taken no for an answer.
What happened, Jethro?
You made a choice.
I had to do what was best for me.
I still do.
This is gonna suck.
Stop complaining.
Sorry. No sleep tends to do that to me.
I drove, Tony. You could have slept all night if you wanted.
I tried, but the orchestra of blaring car horns kept me awake.
We made good time.
Going 95 miles an hour on a dirt road I couldn't even see.
Then it's a good thing I was driving.
I am a trained navigator, Tony.
Yeah? Well, I got an A in Geography.
Plus, I'm Senior Field Agent. I'm pulling rank.
I'm also a trained assassin.
We'll shoot for it.
Best two out of three.
Snip, snip.
I'll take that.
Okay. All right.
All right. Topographic.
It speaks my language.
Follow me. I got it.
The trail...
It's this way.
Would you ever share your personal computer with someone?
No, McGee. That's worse than sharing your toothbrush.
I found a user account for Lieutenant Taylor on Brian Taylor's hard drive.
At least you found something.
I have been looking for the same hair sample for, like, 20 minutes.
You know what my biggest pet peeve is, McGee?
People saying they're vegetarians but eat chicken.
Okay, yes. Then what's my second biggest pet peeve?
Mishandled evidence.
I mean, there's absolutely...
No excuse for it.
Nine years ago,
Metro's so-called forensic scientist...
Carolyn Watson... She just goes through the motions, assuming that one day, somebody like me...
Will clean up her mess.
It's so...
Why do I feel we've had this conversation before?
Because we have. Just about every time you get assigned a cold case.
I am not the only one that complains around here, McGee.
You should see yourself when you're filtering through a perp's computer.
"Who formatted this thing?"
"And they used clusters instead of physical sectors for allocations, " and then your face does this whole weird annoyed/confused deal, like...
That's it! You're doing it right now.
She lied.
Who lied?
Elaine Taylor. She lied.
Lied about what?
Lied about what, McGee?
Agent Gibbs.
Where's Carson?
Is he okay?
Yeah, he's fine.
You're not.
Look familiar, Lieutenant?
It's a background check you ran on your husband two years ago.
These are e-mails you sent to a private investigator asking him
to look into your husband's past.
Said you trusted him.
I was trying to protect him.
From whatever Brian did that made him run nine years ago.
How long have you known?
Since before we were married.
I always asked questions about... his parents, Carson's mother, and he never gave a straight answer.
Started researching.
I found hundreds of Brian Taylors from the DC area.
But you never found your husband?
No, I found him.
In a picture of his high school tennis team.
That one?
I saw the caption said that his surname was Matthews, but...
I never had any doubt. I knew it was him.
And when you confronted him?
She didn't.
I was afraid of losing him.
My husband ran for a reason, and I'm sure it was a damn good one.
Murder.
Killed a store clerk.
No, Brian could never hurt anyone.
Brian Taylor or Brian Matthews?
They're the same person.
People change, Lieutenant.
My husband is a good man, and an even better father.
He coaches Little League, he's in the PTA, and no matter where he is or what he's doing, he always calls his son to say good night.
Always?
It's going to be all blues in the ice bucket.
Ready and go.
Hey, where's your cell phone?
Excuse me?
Give me your cell phone.
- What's he doing?
Satellite phone number. Called last night, 11:30.
Can you locate it?
If the phone's still on, I can triangulate it.
Do it.
Want to share, Agent Gibbs?
Your phone bill just got bigger.
- A couple more minutes.
Come on, survivor man, if I wasn't freezing to death...
Federal Agent!
Do not move!
Where is Taylor?
Is this part of the training?
Hey, give me some good news.
We're at the base camp.
Taylor's not.
He got tipped off.
Yeah. By who?
Does this mean I'm going to jail?
When did you realize Taylor was gone?
This morning, around 5:00 a.m.
And we've been out here alone ever since.
You stop that!
Did you see which way he went?
I heard a noise.
Middle of the night.
Behind us.
A noise?
Like... Like running.
I took a look to check it out.
It was just a deer.
A deer?
A big one.
Big, big deer.
Whatever you think is best, Director.
City slickers saw something.
A deer. It was a big one.
Director Shepard wants us to hold our position while McGee attempts to locate Taylor's signal.
If he doesn't?
A search team is on its way to assist us.
What about our courageous frontiersmen?
They will be escorted out when the search team arrives.
Lucky them.
I've got to tell you, Agent Gibbs, you're full of surprises.
Ice cream as a punishment?
There's no way I saw that coming.
What makes you think you're being punished?
I messed up.
You did?
I called my dad.
Told him you guys were looking for him.
You just told the truth.
Yeah, but...
No buts.
You were trying to protect your dad.
He said he's gonna be gone for a while.
I told him all about you.
Said he'd like to meet you one day.
I told him you were on our side.
Everyone's been really great to me here.
Agent Gibbs, between you and me...
I'm ready for this to be over.
Study those photographs, Mr. Palmer.
Brian Taylor and his son... fishing.
Yeah, and that one?
Father and son hiking.
What about those?
Father and son...
They're all the same, Doctor. Carson and his dad hanging out.
Abby printed over a hundred photographs from Brian Taylor's computer.
And all of them are similar in nature to these.
Actually, I don't think I see as clearly as I think you see.
Mr. Palmer, when conducting a psychological analysis, the first thing you have to do is establish patterns.
Because patterns are the most efficient gateway into the mind.
You read your study material.
But it seems like the only patterns we see here are that Brian Taylor enjoyed spending time with his son.
In pursuits devoid of typical human contact.
And that's bad, because...
Your job is not to judge, but to understand.
The father's pursuit of solitude is indicative of a far deeper problem.
Which would be...?
Lack of it.
The evidence is all here, Jethro.
Separate bank accounts from his wife.
A date book that shows very little social interaction.
And, of course...
His job.
Survivalist training.
It's a field which typically lures a very specific type of personality.
Loners.
And that leads us to his diary.
It shows that he has very few social engagements other than with his son.
He had led a troubled life that is full of pain.
And Mr. Palmer, someone who's experienced this much pain often finds release in the form of rage.
Or murder.
And to think, they never gave him study material.
God, these are new boots.
This is not the time for sightseeing, Tony.
The only sight I see is your big, black...
Hey! backpack walking faster.
Are you injured or something?
I did stop for a water break.
Humans do that sometimes.
Taylor's phone was just activated, Tony.
We're tracking it now.
Yeah, welcome to the club.
I wish I could say it's a fun one.
You sound tired, DiNozzo.
Following Ziva.
Even the dogs are tired.
Tony, Taylor's heading right towards you. Keep your course.
How far?
A hundred yards, give or take.
Looks like he's passing through some sort of clearing.
Maybe a... - Dirt road?
Yeah. How'd you...?
Well, we're staring at it, McGee.
Talk to me, DiNozzo.
Got a visual.
Stop! Federal Agents!
Problem, sweetheart?
Cab is clear.
Looks like this is gonna be a long night.
A casino?
A hotel?
Spring break?
A mansion?
I got it, I got it.
"The Playboy Mansion".
Playboy...
It's a school, Carson.
Sure you don't know Anthony DiNozzo?
Are you okay, Abby?
I'm with child.
The director asked me to watch Carson this morning, so I enlisted Palmer's help. Turns out... he's a pretty good babysitter.
Why exactly are you standing by the elevator?
For privacy.
I don't want You-Know-Who to hear. Come on.
So, I hacked the Globalstar database, and I accessed the call log from Brian Taylor's sat-phone.
Was not easy.
First, I exploited a weakness I found in the network's packet filter...
Abby.
Sorry. Right. Anyway, so, Taylor... made one phone call.
Ronald Keenan.
That's good work.
Palmer, no gestures.
I repeat, this is 911.
Please state your emergency.
Officers have been dispatched to your location...
This young man never stood a fighting chance,
because, unfortunately, for him...
He didn't fight.
Sorry, Doctor.
No, you're right.
Note the lack of defensive wounds on his forearms and hands.
He knew his attacker.
But judging by that hunting knife in his chest, I think we can presume that their relationship had soured somewhat.
Boss, I spoke with 911 dispatch. Keenan didn't say a word.
Yes, well, given the circumstances,
even dialing the phone was quite a feat.
It's amazing what a person can do when their life depends on it.
We found a Taurus on Maple, Agent Gibbs.
Stolen from Black Ridge parking lot early this morning.
Maple Street.
Any sign of Taylor?
Zip. Been combing the area for over an hour.
My gut says he found another ride.
That's not all.
Blood on the door handle and the steering wheel.
Maple Street, three blocks away.
Ronald Keenan born and raised in the DC area.
Also happened to be one of Brian Taylor's high school buddies.
Metro interviewed him nine years ago.
Said he didn't know why Taylor ran.
Maybe he didn't.
There's a reason he's dead.
He's five-ten, 180 pounds.
He matches our witnesses' description.
I think we just found Taylor's accomplice.
NCIS. Agent McGee.
Taylor knows we have the murder weapon.
Last thing he need was his accomplice getting nervous and flipping.
Agent Gibbs... Sure, I'll just get him for you now.
Boss, Brian Taylor asking for you by name.
Starting the trace.
How's my son, Agent Gibbs?
Scared. Confused.
That makes two of us.
You want sympathy?
I want my life back.
Which life, Brian Matthews' or Brian Taylor's?
I ran because I didn't wanna lose my son.
I was naive.
I was a 20-year-old who made a lot of mistakes.
I never killed anyone.
Tell that to Keenan.
Keenan was my friend.
I'd hate to see your enemies.
Carson says you're good.
He says you're on our side.
Yeah, well, he's a smart kid.
You on our side, Agent Gibbs?
Come in.
Tell me what happened.
I do that, my life's over.
Not if you're innocent.
It's not that simple.
You've got this all wrong.
Pay phone, north end of Rock Creek Park.
Call DiNozzo.
Pair up, spread out.
We'll take east of the creek, the rest is yours.
The north or the south?
Big news, Gibbs.
The bloody fingerprints we found
on Keenan's phone, they didn't belong to Keenan.
They were Brian Taylor's.
Means Taylor called 911.
And that's not all.
I've been looking at the evidence from the Stop 'N Go, really sloppy police work.
What have you got, Abby?
A strand of hair that has titanium dioxide.
English, Abby.
It's a synthetic gel, but it didn't hit stores until 2002, which is strange because...
The murder happened in '98.
Someone tampered with the evidence.
According to the chain of evidence, there were only two officers that had access.
You go that way.
He wants us here.
Pay phone number.
Hey, you were framed.
I guess Carson was right, you are on our side.
Stay where you are. I'll come to you.
Not a chance. I'm coming to you, and only you.
What are you doing, boss?
My job.
Don't move, Taylor!
You armed?
Hold on to it.
Less for me to explain.
You killed Keenan. - Should have done it years ago.
He was going to tell.
From killer to cop.
Funny how life works out.
Why did you set me up?
I didn't. Spur of the moment.
Just needed a gun, that's all. Keenan said he knew a guy who had one.
Now I've got my own.
Government-issued.
So is mine.
Put it down.
He's got a knife, Agent Gibbs. I was just protecting myself.
So was I.
I should have done it years ago.
You set me up?
Kind of ironic!
Looks like we're one for three, Collins.
One more answer correct, and...
I win my title back.
From a ten-year-old.
Who has just been through hell.
You mess with the bull... you get the horns.
