CO2 chemosensing is a vital function for the maintenance of life that helps to control acid–base balance. Most studies have reported that CO2 is measured via its proxy, pH. Here we report an inwardly rectifying channel, in outside-out excised patches from HeLa cells that was sensitive to modest changes in PCO2 under conditions of constant extracellular pH. As PCO2 increased, the open probability of the channel increased. The single-channel currents had a conductance of 6.7 pS and a reversal potential of –70 mV, which lay between the K+ and Cl– equilibrium potentials. This reversal potential was shifted by +61 mV following a tenfold increase in extracellular [K+] but was insensitive to variations of extracellular [Cl–]. The single-channel conductance increased with extracellular [K+]. We propose that this channel is a member of the Kir family. In addition to this K+ channel, we found that many of the excised patches also contained a conductance carried via a Cl–-selective channel. This CO2-sensitive Kir channel may hyperpolarize excitable cells and provides a potential mechanism for CO2-dependent inhibition during hypercapnia.

INDIANAPOLIS | Coach Mike Shanahan has said right tackle Jammal Brown must prove his left hip is healthy and fluidly run in order for him to make the Redskins' roster in 2012. Considering Brown's hip continues to be problematic more than two years removed from surgery to repair a torn labrum, there is major uncertainty at right tackle.
The Redskins could use the sixth-overall pick to draft a right tackle, but teams historically don't value right tackles so highly.
The Dallas Cowboys, however, drafted Southern California right tackle Tyron Smith in with the ninth-overall pick last year. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett at the scouting combine on Thursday explained the thinking behind using such a high pick on a right tackle.
"Pass rushers don't only come from that one side," Garrett said. "They come from the other side, too, and they come from down the middle…so you have to be good across the board up front. Certainly the tackle positions are the ones that get the marquee rushers more than anybody else. So whether it's on the left side or right side you better be good over there because you're going to get challenged."
Smith, though, appears to have been a special case. He had a standout rookie season on the right side. And moments after Garrett said that, he revealed the Cowboys are moving him to left tackle and shifting incumbent left tackle Doug Free to the right side.
"One of the reasons we drafted Tyron so high is we like him as a right tackle; we like him as a left tackle, too," Garrett said.
So if the Redskins were to use their first-round pick on a right tackle – whether it's the No. 6 pick or whether they trade back – perhaps he'd have the ability to push Trent Williams on the left side.

Exhibition by Joachim Koester at Yerba Buena Center For The Arts
November 15, 2013 – February 23, 2014
For his exhibition at YBCA, Koester presents his recent work Of Spirits and Empty Spaces (2012), a 16mm film about the American spiritualist and activist John Murray Spear who, along with his congregates at the The Domain, a settlement within the borders of rural New York and Pennsylvania in 1861, sought the designs for a new sewing machine through trance and movement. At the time, Elias Howe, American inventor and sewing machine pioneer had already developed a sewing machine with several strong patents. Spear and his group intended to circumnavigate Howe's legally protected designs in order to create a new and cheaper machine that would be accessible to ordinary people. Alongside this work, Koester will debut a new film commissioned by Kadist featuring one of Elias Howe's sewing machines.

Have You Hugged Your Developer Today?
Categories: Design, Development
The relationship between a designer and a developer is delicate. Rather than resembling peanut butter and jelly or salt and pepper, designers and developers are often more comparable to oil and vinegar – they just don't mix well. Designers are overly sensitive and idealistic, while developers are logical and more closely rooted in realism.
We have our strengths and eccentricities, but it's important to realize we'd both have a pretty hard time getting along without the other. The fields of design and development are just too vast for one person to be equally capable in each. Plus, our brains would probably explode.
So how do we smooth out the wrinkles in our troubled relationship?
To start, I'm going to hassle my fellow designers on an oft-repeated point: know your code! I can't stress how important it is for web designers to know HTML/CSS. Now, I know I just said it's impossible (or at least highly unlikely) for anyone to be equally capable in design and development, so don't shoot me down just yet. Would you want an architect to design a building without having ever taken an engineering course? Then how do you expect to design a website without understanding the capabilities and restrictions of building it? Even if you won't be the one ultimately building out the website, you still need to know the rules.
Point number two: keep up with technology. I'm not just talking about owning a late-model smartphone, using CS6, and bragging about your SSD. What I'm talking about is web plugins, responsive design, and what's up the sleeves of the people leading the industry. The incredible advancements that have been made in web typography in just the past 3 years are a testament to the importance of designers staying in the know.
Lastly, the easier you make your developer's job, the easier he or she will make yours. Alyssa wrote last week about the trials and tribulations of redlines. Redlines, despite their tediousness and ability to inspire fits of profanity, make a developer's job 10x easier AND make it 10x more likely that the final result will be just as the designer intended. They create a very clear accountability system, where both parties can be sure they are giving each other the right stuff.

This is a recent reveal of game play that was released around August 10, 2007. This video shows Krystalak (a newly created character which is approved by Toho, the originators and owners of Godzilla and the established monster cast). Krystalak is showing some moves and speed against Godzilla. This video has the stage of Seattle, Washington and has the "zoomed in" view that some Gametrailers members were wondering about in the developer diary about the same game stage location. If there is any discussion you would like to have on the game, be sure to check out the thread I have up in the Wii forum here at Gametrailers. Its called "Godzilla Unleashed Discussion Thread".

People hoping to turn Bear Grass School into a charter school lost their bid Thursday.
The State Board of Education placed the proposal from Bear Grass number four, losing out to become one of three new charter schools in the state.
Phil Hodges with the Bear Grass Educational Foundation says they are not giving up, and the group is now trying to figure out it's next move.
Martin County's school board last year voted to close the school and merge it with another high school in the county. Bear Grass will remain open for the upcoming school year.

2. Glue six mini sticks in a ring as shown. I recommend using the tiny bottles of Aleene's Tacky Craft Glue.
3. Glue two mini sticks on the ends of each stick. Let dry for 20 minutes, remove tape and paint as desired.

War Office and predecessors: Secretary-at-War, Secretary of State for War, and Commander-in-Chief, In-letters and Miscellaneous Papers
These consist of original despatches, letters and papers sent to the Secretary-at-War, 1755 to 1795, and to the Secretary of State for War, 1794 to 1865. Those sent to the Secretary of State relate for the most part to the conduct of the French Wars or to the military business of the Colonial Office (CO) from the late 1840s onwards. There are also some bundles of correspondence sent to the Commander-in-Chief (or to his subordinates the Military Secretary and the Adjutant-General); and some miscellaneous books. The series also contains letters, catalogued in detail, from Philip D' Auvergne, Prince de Bouillon.
Papers of the Secretary-at-War and the Secretary of State for War are arranged under the various military stations or public departments from which they were sent, or under the subjects with which they deal, or alphabetically by the name of the writer.
The War Office In-Letter books have been arranged in three main groups for listing pursposes. The first includes all the books of original dispatches from various commanders, the second consists of the correspondence received from other government departments, and the third of correspondence from other correspondents, arranged roughly by the alphabetical order of the surnames of the senders. This third group will be found however to include also certain correspondence which might be expected to be found in the volumes of the first two groups. It has been divided into two series - the first consisting of foolscap volumes, the second of smaller volumes.
Secretary of State for War, 1794-1801
Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, 1801-1854
Secretary-at-War, 1660-1855
War Department, 1855-1857
War Office, 1857-1964

I really like this cleanser. My face feels really nice after I use it, although I really do need a moisturizer afterwards. The castile soap makes you feel a bit "squeaky" and there is absolutely no honey scent at all (which disappointed me but may be good for you), in fact there's really not a discernible scent, just "soap." But, it lathers so nicely, and I love using it in-between my exfoliating days.4
I was pretty excited to receive this product, as I try to stick to cleansers that are made of natural ingredients. The product itself is great, I have used it a few times so far and my face has felt smoother, if not, happier. I have combination skin, and I feel like it has helped both the oiliness, and the dryness I tend to experience with my skin. Unfortunately, the packaging is pretty disappointing. I had to do some light traveling over the weekend, and in between destinations, the screw-top kept getting loose somehow and I have ended up loosing half of the product in a matter of owning it for 4 days. I am at a point now where I cannot decided if I should just deal with it, or go through the hassle of returning/exchanging the product.3
I have very sensitive but prone to get oily skin. Many cleansers leave it feeling dry and itchy- but then i get all oily later in the day.
This is a great product for me- no lavender smell- which is in so many natural products but tends to aggravate my skin. Cleans well but doesn't over dry and has a pleasant smell and the packaging is cute. Been using for a week with out issue. Will buy again.

Animal in the House
Chris "The Animal" Carter is finally a Met.
Carter — who had been acquired for Billy Wagner in a late-season 2009 deal with the Red Sox — has been promoted to the big club. Veteran pinch-hitter Frank Catalanotto was DFA'd to make room for Carter on the roster.
I'm very pleased to see Carter get his just due, after doing everything he could to earn a job and more. At the same time, I'm a little sad to say goodbye to Catalanotto, even if he was hitting only .160 and even if 99% of the fan base wanted him gone. Why? Because Gary Matthews Jr. remains on the roster, complete with his .136 batting average and 18 strikeouts in 44 at-bats. I realize it's helpful to have a defensive-minded outfielder backing up the starters, but jeez louise — will his glove really make up for striking out nearly fifty percent of the time? I'm still trying to figure out why the Mets sent both Jeremy Reed and Cory Sullivan packing, in return for the right to trade Brian Stokes for GMJ.
But this is about the Animal, who suits up on Tuesday in Flushing. With Scott Olsen starting for the Nats, it's unlikely we'll see Carter in the starting lineup, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a start on Tuesday against righthander Craig Stammen — particularly if Jason Bay and Jeff Francoeur continue to slump. The outfielder corners would appear to be the only opportunity for Carter to get semi-regular playing time, considering how well Ike Davis is doing at 1B. Let's hope he isn't used the way Catalanotto was — strictly as a pinch-hitter. It would be a waste to give him only three swings a night. If given a chance, Carter might prove to be one of those late bloomers, in the same mold as Travis Hafner, Carlos Pena, and Nelson Cruz. We'll never know until he gets a fair shot.

he should have made the team out of spring training.let's hope manuel isn;t afraid to give him some platoon time with francouer.i'm starting to see why the braves gave up on frenchy.i love his attitude and toughness and his defense in right field but he's strictly a mistake hitter and swings at anything.12 for his last 80.there were a lot of games the last few weeks against tough righties where carter could have given him a rest and maybe gotten a few big hits ala ike davis davis to spark the team.gibe 3 ab's against tough righties and bring in frenchy for defense in the 8th inning in close games.i'm curious to see how this goes down.
We'll see how Carter does. Maybe he'll have the same effect on the team that Ike Davis did–I sure hope so! With Olsen going tonight, it might be tomorrow's game before we see Carter there. We'll definitely see Carter in Florida, IMO.
Francoeur's attitude has caught on in the Mets' clubhouse, it would seem. I think the ejections of the last two games have shown this. Wright and Reyes went right after the umps. Wright had a case, Reyes didn't, IMO. But it's the hard-nosed, never-say-die 'tude that this team needs to have.
Hey, will you look at that – Omar Minaya is alive! This has been an obvious roster move for a month now. I really do hope they give Carter a fair shake at earning a permanent spot on the club.
Next up in Omar's DFA sights should be GMJ. At least Brian Stokes is struggling with the Angels – it makes the pill of acquiring such a bum like Matthews a little less painful to swallow.
The next move should come when Igarashi returns. Several options when that happens next week.
1. Send down one of Acosta, Valdes, or Mejia (we wish) and put him back in the 8th.
2. Keep the bullpen intact but move Takahashi to the starting rotation in place of Ollie, sending him to AAA to work on things (or DL)
3. Combo of 1 and 2. Move Ken to starting rotation, send one of Acosta, Valdes, or Mejia down, and move Perez to pen.
Don't know which is best but one of those three will happen unless I missed something.
Also…. Celebrate! The Animal finally gets his shot. Yes, he needs to start 2-3 times a week. I think that defense is important at Citi Field and his starts should be fewer there (or exclusively in LF, but Bay is paid to play, so that isn't likely to happen). So I would start him on road trips in less challenging OFs more often then in NY. This is fine with me. I think resting Bay or Frenchy is more acceptable on the road anyway. I think we should reasonably expect him to produce (I wont try to put numbers on it) but it all depends on how he adjusts to a part time roll.
In fairness, Omar gave Frank a month which was good out of respect, and Frank could come back if he lets Omar send him to the buff's. Also (Rubin) points out that GMJ was a DFA candidate which I would have prefered. Pirdie is a legit OF option.
I hope Carter can hit. If he can ALOT of these close losses could well become wins.
ALSO: How about a start for Tatis (tonite?), Carter in RF (tonite?) and dropping Bay down in the order (5th?).
as for Omar? Shhh Starting pitcher….

Ellie Taylor
Why did you choose a graduate programme?
Upon finishing university I knew, from previous work experience, that I wanted to work in the automotive industry. However, I wasn't sure which area I wanted to head into. This is why the graduate training programme was the perfect opportunity for me, as it could give me the chance to experience a variety of areas of the business and see what I enjoyed and where my strengths are. I could then use this experience to help give me some direction as to which area of the industry I would be best suited.
What is a typical day like?
A typical day can really vary depending on the placement you are in, and that is why the Graduate programme is so enjoyable, as you are always turning your hand to new things. Currently my typical day consists of reading emails first thing, followed by making a to-do list! I am working on a number of bigger projects at the moment, such as the Dealer Satisfaction Survey and the Dealer Application Process, so there is always work to do on those tasks each day, including meetings with various members of the business to get their input. However, there are also various smaller requests that come my way and a number of weekly reports to create and publish. Towards the end of the day I dedicate some time to the Charity project which is part of the Graduate Scheme. This is a great opportunity as it has given me the chance to develop and manage a whole project myself, meet various people around the business and manage a group of people.
Are you studying for any qualifications?
I am not currently studying for any qualifications, as I wanted to gain more experience in marketing and also sales before I choose to do a specialist qualification in the area. Once I have some more hands-on experience, I think I will be better equipped to study for a professional qualification such as the CIM qualification.
What's good about working at Bentley?
I am extremely proud to say I work at Bentley as it is a famous prestigious British company that most people have heard of. As Bentley's head office is here at Crewe you have the opportunity to work on a worldwide scale, so can gain plenty of international experience. You are also really encouraged to develop your career and have plenty of support from all around the business in order to do this.
Any tips or advice you would give to someone applying for a graduate vacancy?
The advice I would give to someone applying for a Graduate Vacancy is: try to get work experience within the automotive industry as this can really support your application, even if you don't have a specific Sales and Marketing or Business degree. Often hands-on experience in the industry you are going into is invaluable, it demonstrates a passion for the industry and can often help you in your day-to-day role.

Medical Investigation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Medical Investigation was an American Medical drama television series that began September 9, 2004, on NBC. It ran for twenty one hour-long episodes before being cancelled in 2005. The series was co-produced by Paramount Television (now CBS Paramount Television) and NBC Universal Television Studio.The series featured the cases of an elite team of medical experts of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) who investigate serious public-health problems, such as sudden outbreaks of serious diseases. Medical investigative duties are normally the responsibility of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local health departments, while the NIH is primarily a disease-research and -theory organization. This lack of attention to the real world is thought to have contributed to the show's demise, though plenty of shows suspend reality for their premises.The series exists in the same television universe as Third Watch and, by extension ER. A special two-part crossover event aired on February 18, 2005, establishing the television-universe connection by featuring the Third Watch and Medical Investigation teams working together.
Rebroadcasts The USA Network began running reruns on January 6 2005, in what is called a "repurposed" broadcast. It is, however, no different from the original broadcasts. High definition reruns of the show are being broadcast on the Universal HD channel. In January 2007 the series began airing on NBC Universal's mystery and crime-themed cable channel, Sleuth.

Women, violence and the public space: how the media can tell that story better
The media is a multi-edged sword. While it draws attention to the pertinent issues, sometimes excessive coverage and intrusive reportage – such as in the case of sexual assault and rape – causes an aversion and an unnecessary fear in the minds of readers and viewers, often resulting in greater curbs on the movement of women in public spaces. These issues were discussed at NWMI's 10th anniversary meet in Mumbai. A report on the session:
February 2, 2013: The recent brutal gang rape-murder of a woman in Delhi and the thunderous public outrage it raised around the country has centre-staged the issue of violence against women. But millions of words and sound-bytes later, has there been sufficient depth of thought to the relevant issues? Can Justice Verma's pathbreaking report put pressure on the government and will this pressure deal with the crucial concerns? How can the media play a positive role? It was with these introductory questions that senior journalist and columnist Kalpana Sharma called upon a variety of speakers to address the audience at the Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh, where some 80 women journalists had gathered for NWMI's 10th anniversary national convention. This public event on "Women, violence and the public space: how the media can tell that story better" was coincidently held on the day that the government announced its ordinance in reply to the Justice Verma commission.
From voyeuristic behaviour to a constructive role
Lawyer-activist Flavia Agnes recalled the 1980s when women first raised demands for legal amendments to prevent sexual violence. She acknowledged she was a product of the media, who had profiled her and enabled her work as a lawyer and activist to reach the public space even as she attempted to keep pushing the boundaries of women's rights in the legal domain. However, she decried the current "insatiable greed of voyeurism" which sought out the most gruesome and private details of a rape survivor. She also pointed to the hypocrisy of revealing every single detail about the survivor except her name by the media. The relentless intrusion and desperate need to "put a face" and find "real victims" had driven a survivor to say, "For us the greatest horror was the media." A raped woman has no name and no face, she said with characteristic bluntness.
Agnes wondered whether one had moved an inch towards a better understanding of what it meant to be a survivor, even after printing or portraying such details. In this connection she pointed out how her organisation Majlis sought to counteract the "zinda laash" rhetoric by ferreting out and re-publishing the account of a raped woman who had written about her rape and her struggle to come out of the fear and violence. She appealed to the media to play a constructive role by dropping the gory details, by not placing the lifelong label of a victim on the survivor, and by being supportive to a process of surviving, coping and healing.
The limitations of the newroom
Meenal Baghel, editor, Mumbai Mirror, candidly admitted the lapses of her paper in the past, pointing out that newsrooms had their limitations and imperfections. The pressure in a newsroom was akin to that felt by doctors working in emergency wards, she said. In the working process one did sometimes get de-sensitised but by and large the process of questioning the treatment of this issue has begun in media circles. She pointed out that Mumbai Mirror had never used the euphemism "eve teasing," and this was the outcome of a conscious decision. While much reporting happens in an ad hoc, templatised manner, with no hard and fast rules, the newsroom is definitely more discerning and sensitive today than it was in the past. Baghel recommended that NWMI continue with its gender-sensitivity workshops for journalists.
Nandita Gandhi, co director of the organisation Akshara, a woman's resource centre, pointed out that in the 1980s when women took to the streets in the wake of the Mathura rape case, the media had covered the protests out of curiosity. Now there was a quantum leap in reporting but she too felt that in the recent media coverage there was too much description and the sensationalism bordered on what she described as "redlight area journalism" and a misogynistic curiosity. She pointed out the gross insensitivity of the media in placing inappropriate advertisements within news items regarding violence, and the absence of an objective and firm stand in publishing, at random, views that do nothing to support the cause. "Let us admit that the emperor has no clothes on," she said. She urged the practice of ethics and went on to elaborate on the tie-up her organisation had undertaken with the newspaper Hindustan Times (HT): Akshara carried out an extensive survey on issues of sexual harassment and safety of women in public spaces, and HT wrote and carried out a 15-day campaign on the survey findings. This highlighted the catalytic role that media organisations can play. She also pointed out that in such collaborations, it becomes a win-win situation: the women's organisation is able to harness the resources of the media house, and the media house receives socially relevant content.
The media must take a historical perspective
Speaking on the fabled safety of women living in Mumbai, Lina Mathias, senior assistant editor at Economic & Political Weekly, drove home the fact that the safety of women does not exist in a vacuum; it is connected with the city's political and social consciousness. If Mumbai was seen as a safe city it was because white-collar workers and blue-collar workers had fought for their rights and collectively created a culture of public action and the demand for accountability. Trade unions like the Philips employees union took pains to distribute copies of the Vishakha judgement guidelines on sexual harassment to all women at the workplace. She narrated the endearing case of one Narayanrao Lokhande, a mill worker, who as early as 1890 convened a meeting of barbers and made them take an oath that they would not shave the heads of widows!
But now the city was losing such political and social consciousness and collective action is conspicuous by its absence. Hawkers, whose presence on the streets has been proved reassuring for women in several locations besides Mumbai, are being ruthlessly evicted. BEST, the public transport system, has curtailed its services, and there is not a whimper of protest. Days of megablocks in the Central Railways, without proper alternative arrangements, causing the deaths of three youths falling off overcrowded trains, but there has been no dharna, no morcha against the Railways' callousness. How can women expect to remain safe in an environment such as this, she asked. And when people are being hounded out to relocate in far-off suburbs, commuting as many as six hours a day, who has the time and the energy to protest? She urged the media to take a historical perspective and connect the dots when talking about not only women's but the common people's safety.
Harish Sadani of Men against Violence and Abuse noted that it was important for those engaged with the issues of gender violence to also initiate discussions on positive models of masculinity. He said the media must encourage processes that humanise men, and create spaces where they are seen not as perpetrators but as part of the solution. He drew attention to instances in the city where male bystanders had even died while intervening and defending women who were being sexually harassed. However, the media paid scant attention to such stories. He also spoke about his work on sensitisation of youth in Pune, Kolhapur, Satara and elsewhere, in which young boys are presented positive, egalitarian models of masculinity. However, here too, the media ignored such stories. Again, when the proposal to impart sex education was shot down due to political pressure, no media organisation came forward to do follow up stories. Sadani said that if violence against women is projected as social violence, it should include men in the picture and place on them the responsibility of being part of the solution rather than the problem. Unless men are seen as part of the solution, how will the gender problem be resolved?
The spaces offered by the new media
Anindita Sengupta, a feminist blogger (http://ultraviolet.in/), wound up the session by explaining how new media has given spaces and opportunities to create content that is not compromised. She gave her own example of how she fought her own case of sexual harassment by getting information online and then starting Ultraviolet, a group blog of Indian women who face violence or discrimination. The collaborative mode, meant largely for those under 40, has accommodated a variety of topics from the sharing of household chores to domestic violence. She pointed out that websites and blogs were easy to create, cheap, and more focused on target groups. Also, there is freedom to choose the content and its length, which makes the gamut of new media, with possibilities of cross-publishing, an attractive option. She called on women to attempt working with both traditional media and the new media, so as to be in the best of both worlds.
Rapporteurs for the session: Shubha Khandekar, Freny Manecksha

The final scores don't count yet, but high school football is back Friday night across Florida.
Nine Kickoff Classics will begin the season for 10 area teams. IMG Academy opens its new stadium with a new program at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
With a full summer of 7-on-7s under his belt, a pair of great receivers at his disposal and the area's best offensive line affording him protection, Manatee Hurricanes quarterback Josh Meyer will look to air the ball out more than he did in the spring game against Tallahassee Lincoln, though he did rush for 133 yards that night against the Class 7A state finalists.
This is an ultimate dress rehearsal for the Canes (13-
1 in 2012) -- the game will be broadcast live on Bright House Sports Network, just as the Sept. 1 season opener against Gilman, Md., will be broadcast live on the new Fox Sports network. That game will be played inside University of Maryland's football stadium.
East Lake (11-2) was a regional finalist in Class 8A last season, losing to Orlando Dr. Phillips. Its top player is wide receiver Artavis Scott, who had 69 catches for 1,123 yards and 12 touchdowns last year. He has committed to Clemson and had roughly two dozen other offers, according to Rivals.
Another player to watch: Devin Abraham, son of former Tampa Bay Buccanneer Donnie Abraham. A cornerback, Devin had four interceptions last year and is a USF commit.
In other Kickoff Classics on Friday:
Southeast at Venice, 7:30 p.m. -- New quarterback Jack Shinn will test his mettle in a game between two traditional powerhouses. The Seminoles will get a good gauge of where they stand defensively with a big, athletic group.
Riverview at Palmetto, 7:30 p.m. -- Quarterback candidates Chris Tuten and Jack Allison should get equal reps tonight, and it's an intriguing battle. Tuten helped the Tigers reach the playoffs last year, but Allison, a sophomore, impressed the Tigers' coaches all spring and summer with his athleticism.
Bayshore at Punta Gorda Charlotte, 7:30 p.m. -- The Bruins begin the 2013 season against a perennially power from the south. New head coach Elijah Freeman's fresh system should be a joy for Bayshore fans, but will begin to work the kinks out.
Lakewood Ranch at Brandon, 7:30 p.m. -- Returning quarterback Chad Rex and a promising defense will make their first appearance in 2013 against a traditionally physical opponent.
Braden River at Largo Pinellas Park, 7 p.m. -- The second year of the Curt Bradley era begins with high hopes of improvement from last season's 1-9 record.
Cardinal Mooney at Bradenton Christian, 7:30 p.m. -- Quarterback Reese Vita and running back Demardre Patterson lead Mooney's offense, which could explode against a Bradenton Christian defense that allowed an average of 352 yards per game last fall. The Panthers counter with their own skill guys that can do damage, most notably Sinclair Laskett.
Saint Stephen's at Orlando Christian Prep, 4 p.m. -- The Falcons ended last year on a bit of high note by splitting their final four games, and with more than two dozen players on the roster, they have more depth than at this point last year.
Out-of-Door Academy at Naples First Baptist, 7 p.m. -- Jimmy Kuebler and Nate Strawderman are battling for the starting quarterback job, and that should clear up following their performance against First Baptist.

My wife and I laugh at The Bee and TV stations as the police and fire departments trot out each year to say that they have a zero tolerance and will aggressively enforce fireworks laws. Why go to Disneyland when you can have a much better and free show here?
Burning embers come into my yard each year. I have given up reporting the aerial and ground-level bombs (disabling a street lamp) to the police as the dispatchers are irritated at the calls. One even told me that if a fire starts, call back. Another, while hearing gunfire from my call, stated that if the gunfire hits my house to call back.
Crime is rampant because people know that they will get away with it. One year, three fences, two yards, a gazebo, a deck and six trees burned from this so-called harmless fun. Why vote more taxes or give government more money when they won't enforce the laws now?

"Semiology of Musical Gestures: How Uniqueness Expresses Community Identity"
Laurel Myers Hurst - Assistant Professor (Term), Kent State University
While it may be common knowledge that music and community identity go hand-in-hand, it is considerably more difficult to determine which musical gesture or gestures embody communally-held values and foster community identity. Regarding the semiology of music John Blacking asserts, "In music, code and message are inseparable: the code is the message, and when the message is analyzed apart from the code, music is abandoned for sociology, politics, economics, religion, and so forth" (Blacking 1981, 185). This paper argues that if unique and meaningful musical gestures cannot be identified and analyzed in the musical products associated with a particular culture, then meaning is derived only from exo-semantic sources and we fail to show that music itself has any affect on community identification.
This paper is predicated upon the hypothesis that if two communities call a genre "Gospel quartet music" and one community describes its music as "Black" and the other describes its music as "Southern" then two unique musical gestures must symbolize communally-held concepts through their external form and their connotative or denotative relationship to their respective cultures. The argument will also briefly outline and demonstrate a practical method of semiological analysis applicable to performance preparation of any musical genre.

Sight-Reading Pre-Adjudication: A Comparison Between Director Commentary and Adjudicator Expectations
Kate Ferguson
Music educators believe sight-reading to be a desirable skill for an instrumental performer; however, in public school music, there is perhaps no single problem as universal in scope as sight-reading. The importance of this skill is shown by the inclusion of music sight-reading at state contests, as well as auditions within and outside of the school. From the large group performance ensemble perspective, ensemble sight-reading is usually required of school bands participating in district and/or state levels of music contests or festivals. Ratings for ensemble sight-reading achievement are often assigned that factor in to the evaluative device for the school band program. Many band directors' knowledge of how to teach sight-reading is derived from their own personal experience, both as participants in ensemble sight reading an as leaders learning by trial and error. Sight-reading has had a tremendous amount of importance placed upon it, it would only seem reasonable to pursue answers to the questions of "best practices" for the director commentary portion of sight-reading adjudication. The purpose of this study is to compare the practices of directors during the sight - reading pre-adjudication preparations time block of a large group adjudicated event to the expectations of experienced adjudicators for that same time period. This is a qualitative study. Comments made by directors during the sight-reading portion of the Ohio Music Education Association High School Large Group Adjudicated Event have been compared to the expectations of experidnces sight-reading adjudicators in the Ohio Music Education Association. Research questions are: (1) From an adjudicators perspective, what are the content areas that need to be addressed by the director during the pre-adjudication time block and how much time should be spent in each area? and (2) What are the techniques used and content areas addressed by directors during the pre-adjudication time block to prepare students for the large group adjudicated event sight - reading?
Kate Ferguson is in her 13th year of teaching and 11th year as an instrumental music teacher in the Crestwood Local Schools. Ferguson earned her Bachelor in Music Education from Kent State University in August 1998, Master of Music in Music Education from the University of Akron in May 2004 and is currently pursuing her PhD in Music Education at Kent State University. Ferguson is actively involved in the Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA). Ferguson is an active OMEA Adjudicator and has also served OMEA as a member of the state board, hosting High School Solo & Ensemble and Marching Band Adjudicated Events, as well as being a member of the 2003, 2006, and 2009 Professional Conference Planning Committee. Ferguson actively performs on her main instrument, trombone, with the Brass Band of the Western Reserve. Ferguson has been on the administrative staff for Matrix Indoor Percussion Ensemble since 1999.

Does a School Music Program Influence a School's Culture?
Joseph W. Ellis
The purpose of this study is to facilitate an understanding of whether or not a music program has influence upon an individual school's culture, and if so, in what ways. Most music teachers agree that their subject matter is an integral part of the school's curriculum, but are these classes truly an integral part of school life within those walls? Participants were selected because of their position within the school's structure, and a student was selected because of involvement and enrollment in all aspects of the offered music curriculum. All participants were interviewed and given the same definitions of school culture, music program, and influence so that they were able to consistently speak from their unique perspective using the same definitions for each of these concepts. From these interviews, data were coded and analyzed in regards to answering the question of whether or not a music program influences a school's culture. Results are will be reported in May, 2011.
Joseph W. Ellis is a doctoral student in the College of Education, Health, and Human Services at Kent State University enrolled in the Curriculum and Instruction program and is a music teacher at Our Lady of Peace Catholic School in Canton, Ohio. After graduating with a Bachelor of Music Education degree from Mount Union College in 2001, Mr. Ellis continued his education at Walsh University earning a Master of Arts in Education in 2006. Serving as a band director, choir director, general music teacher, elementary principal, and drama teacher over the last decade, Mr. Ellis has dedicated his life to learning and continual discovery, especially in the field of music education.

In December of 2010 Macungie Borough completed a downtown master plan. Urban Research & Design, the same firm recently contracted by Lower Macungie Township to develop a comprehensive 'smart growth plan' was the firm that worked with the Borough on the plan.
Click here to view the 2010 plan
I went to a couple meetings at the tail end of this project. At the time my business partners and I were actively looking for a place to move our studio to. Personally, I was very much wedded to a space on Main Street in the Borough. I was very excited about the possibility of the borough implementing some of the ideas in the plan. We did end up renting space on Main Street We're currently looking to buy a permanent home for the business.
Since these meetings I have heard very little about the plan. I've seen a couple recommendations implemented here and there, but none of the sorely needed large scale items. I've asked officials if there are any plans to explore the recommendations. It seems as if current officials are completely uninterested. The revitalization committee has since disbanded.
It's a shame really, there are some great recommendations in this plan, particularly the essential traffic calming measures for Main Street.
Everyone I talk to agrees that Main Street needs to be more of a place you go to, instead of just a place you drive through. Traffic calming and other street scape improvements are step 1.
So I ask, whats up with this plan now? Take a couple minutes to check it out at the link above. What do you think about it's goals and recommendations? Are they worthwhile investments for the borough?

That is one of the prettiest fish I have ever seen! My daycare kids would love it.
I posted some great snow pictures on my blog (we went to the Adirondacks for the weekend). Since you don't get to see snow I thought you might enjoy looking at them.

Film Review: 'Whiteout'
Date: September 17, 2009
by: Pam Nadon
Savings tip: Don't waste your time or money on the new film, "Whiteout." This chiller-thriller starring Kate Beckinsale is anything but. A case of that liquid eraser bearing the same name couldn't save this sorry script.
Cleverly, the opening sequence is a grabber. A Soviet transport plane carrying a suspicious locked metal box crashes in Antarctica after a midair gunfight. Fifty years later, the frozen corpse of a missing geologist is discovered near the crash site. U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko (Beckinsale), who is stationed at the research complex, is in charge of the investigation. Haunted by the betrayal and killing of her former partner (through hazy flashbacks), Carrie wonders if she's up to snuff for the job. Oh, and the clock's ticking at a race-against-time pace as a deadly winter storm approaches.
Just who's the bad guy? Is it the kindly old doctor (Tom Skerritt)? Perhaps that mysterious U.N. investigator, Robert Price (Gabriel Macht), is the axe-wielding culprit. Delfy (Columbus Short), the friendly pilot, seems to be a bit too neatly packaged. Or could it possibly be Agent Carrie Stetko herself? Who cares?
"Whiteout" generates a multitude of questions. For instance, what is an actor the caliber of Kate Beckinsale ("Cold Comfort Farm," "Brokedown Palace") doing in this film? Why did Dominic Sena stoop to direct such claptrap after having made hits such as "Swordfish" and "Gone in Sixty Seconds?" The best action scenes are so obscured by blinding blizzards, one can't decipher what's happening on screen. And let's talk dialogue. Beckinsale is forced to utter cliche B-movie lines including, "Sam (huge pause), thanks." Lame.
Too bad. "Whiteout" could have been a frosty nail-biter in the right hands. Instead, it's an avalanche of missed opportunity.

The Kid With a Bike
Criterion, $29.95; Blu-ray, $39.95
Belgian filmmaking brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne settled on their signature style in the mid-'90s with "La Promesse," a movie about a working-class youngster in a desperate situation, shot mostly with a handheld camera, using a lot of follow-shots. The Dardennes' latest shows that there's plenty of life in the brothers' approach as they tell the story a pre-teen foster child who goes looking for his father and ends up befriending both a kindly hairdresser and a shrewd drug dealer. "The Kid With a Bike" isn't as nail-biting as other Dardennes films — the drama is more low-stakes, tied to a stubborn young boy's unrealistic expectations — but it's one of their most accessible, with a balance of heartbreak and sweetness that's hard to resist. Criterion's DVD and Blu-ray add a trio of typically thoughtful behind-the-scenes featurettes.

WELLING: Driver challenges council over "illegal" parking signs (From News Shopper)
Get involved: Send pictures, video, news and views - text NEWS SHOPPER to 80360 or email us
A driver who got a parking ticket for pavement parking claims Bexley Council's signs are illegal
6:26pm Friday 25th March 2011 in News
AN angry motorist is refusing to pay a Bexley Council parking fine because he claims Bexley is acting illegally.
Andrew Merron, 48, an operations manager for BT also believes hundreds of other people who have already coughed up fines to Bexley, may be entitled to a refund.
Mr Merron, who lives in Shepherd's Lane, Dartford, received a £50 penalty notice for parking on the pavement in Tyrrell Avenue, Welling, when he and his wife Sandra went to a Halloween party in October last year.
He said: "We got there at about 9pm and checked the parking restrictions to see if we could park.
"The sign on the lamppost indicated we could park with two wheels on the pavement. So I did."
After taking a cab home from the party, Mr Merron returned to following day to collect his car.
He found he had been given a ticket for parking with one or more wheels on the pavement.
Mr Merron promptly appealed against the ticket, but lost.
Bexley Council told him he could only park on the pavement in Tyrrell Avenue if he was parked in one of the bays marked out on the pavement, and put the fine up to £100.
Furious, Mr Merron checked out street signs on the Department of Transport website as well as the other street signs around Tyrrell Avenue and he is convinced Bexley is displaying the wrong sign.
He says there is a similar, but different sign, which indicates pavement parking within bays.
Bexley has now put the fine up to £150 and says it will take Mr Merron to court if he does not pay.
But he is convinced he is in the right.
Mr Merron said: "I am fuming.
"I only parked on the pavement because the sign said I could. There is nothing to indicate you must park in a bay."
A Bexley Council spokeswoman said: "The council is satisfied the signs and markings comply with the statutory requirements and that the PCN was issued and served correctly."
She added: "Mr Merron was given the option to lodge an appeal against the council's decision to uphold the issue of the PCN with the independent adjudication service, however, the statutory period to allow him to do so has now passed and there is no record that he lodged such an appeal.
"There is no additional statutory recourse for further consideration of Mr Merron's case.
"It is advised that he makes prompt payment of the penalty charge before he incurs further charges."

I guess because there is a sign which indicates that he can park.
I have looked at the signs posted and at the signs available and agree there seems to be some injustice here.
If parking is restricted to marked bays, why don't the council post the correct sign which makes this clear.
Come on Bexley Council, put your hands up and accept you have got it wrong!
Good luck.

If he thinks he is in the right why has he not taken the matter further in legal terms rather than run to news shopper?

It is illegal to park on pavements all over London unless there is a marked out bay. I got done for that doing that in Camden, so why does this bloke think he should be treated differently?
