At Madison, getting students to school on time is a priority for us. It's important students are here on time every single day to take advantage of learning opportunities. To that end, we are making some changes in order to reduce the number of late arriving students.
Beginning Monday, March 3rd, if a student arrives late to school unexcused, they will be serving lunch detention that very same day. This applies to unexcused late arrivals. An EXCUSED late arrival is a note from a doctor appointment or a late district bus.
Things like oversleeping, traffic, missing Metro – even with a note from a parent – are all considered unexcused. This is only a partial list of unexcused reasons. If you don't want to sit at the lunch detention table….just arrive to school on time.
Let's all make a commitment to get to school by 7:45am!
In just one bag of garbage collected from the lunchroom on Monday, 94% of the waste could have been diverted from a landfill, Madison! Don't waste food: only take as much as you can eat, save it for later, or give it to a friend! Change the statistics! – From Madison's Earth Service Corps Club
Thursday, March 6th, from 6:30-8:00 p.m.
The evening's theme is "The World is Text." Sponsored by the Humanities and Exploratory Departments, the event will spotlight all the ways in which people use literacy skills in the 21st century. After enjoying a variety of student performances in the cafeteria, you'll have the opportunity to choose between a number of hands-on activities or workshops.
Come write a poem and/or create art inspired by poetry. Do the "Book Walk" – just like a Cake Walk but with books as prizes. Play language and geography games. Learn how to make a difference in the world through social action and community service. Discover intriguing books to add to your reading list. Explore hunting and fishing through literature. Check out great technology projects created by students in the Unified Art and Multimedia classes. Learn the ins and outs of Writer's Workshop and how you can support your writer at home. Take a virtual trip to Paris as you learn about Madison students' trip to France.
Please return the RSVP form to your student's Humanities (Language Arts/Social Studies) teacher as soon as possible so that we can purchase enough snacks for everybody. We're also in need of gently used books for the Book Walk. Please send donations to your student's Humanities teacher. We look forward to celebrating literacy with all of you!
Hey Bulldogs! It's that time of year again, love is in the air…and flowers are for sale!

We have had some recent "close calls" again with students and cars during drop off and pick up. Families, when dropping off or picking up your child, please pull over to the curb and have your student exit your car curb side.
Do not have your child exit in to the street. With the dark mornings, and added fog of late, letting kids out of cars in to the street is creating very dangerous situations. It may take an extra minute or two, but the extra time is well worth it.
There is nothing more important than keeping our students safe!
With Black History Month coming up in February and the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day this coming Monday, the library has put together a book display in the library celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. and other African Americans who made very important contributions to our country and who played a significant role in the civil rights movement. Come check out one of these books from the library to learn more.
Below you will also find a two-minute video clip of present day Ruby Bridges at the White House with Barack Obama. As she looks at a Norman Rockwell painting of her walking to school as a child, she reflects back on that first day of school as the only black child at an all-white elementary school in the South and how, as an adult, she has now prevailed over the prejudice she faced as a girl.

When we are expecting snow or inclement weather, a Seattle Public Schools Central Office team continually monitors conditions across the District. That includes having staff drive some of the streets that are typically more treacherous in snow and ice.
After consulting with other agencies, a decision is made about whether to delay school by two hours or if a closure is necessary. That decision is typically made by 5:30 a.m.
You can learn if there is a school delay or closure through:
• local TV and radio stations
• the District website at www.seattleschools.org
• an automated phone call you will receive
• the Public Schools Emergency Communications System at www.SchoolReport.org

Interested in having your student placed in honors Language Arts next year? Current sixth and seventh graders may now apply for advanced-learning testing through the school district.
The deadline is Thurs., Oct. 3, and the application requires a teacher recommendation. For incoming sixth graders, it may be most appropriate to request this recommendation from the fifth-grade teacher. Students who receive a "Spectrum" or "APP" designation through this testing process have guaranteed placement in honors Language Arts classes at Madison ("Spectrum"). (Madison does not offer the APP program for highly academically gifted students, but APP students may choose to be placed in our honors LA classes.)
Other high-achieving students may be admitted to the honors Language Arts class on a space-available basis, but continued placement for the following year may depend on whether or not the student has qualified for advanced learning through the testing process.
Please pick up application materials in the main office or click here to access the forms online and to obtain further information about advanced-learning opportunities in Seattle Public School.
Further information about Madison's advanced-learning program can be found under the Academics tab on our website.

As the weather gets warmer, you might be tempted to break out those summer outfits. Most summer attire is NOT appropriate for school and violates Madison dress code.
Here are a few reminders: leave the flip flops at home; skirt and short length must be THREE INCHES BEYOND the fingertips as they lay at one's side; 3 inch straps at the shoulders are required; boys pants must fit a the waist and all shirts must cover the entire torso. There's still a lot of school to happen. Keep the focus!
The last day to pre-order a yearbook is Thursday, May 9th. That is also your last chance to get your name stamped on it. This is the only way to guarantee you will have a yearbook.
When yearbooks are delivered in June, any extras will be available to purchase on a first come first served basis. 8th graders will get priority for these. These will cost $22.

Footprint of Communism, lovely Old Town.
We had a busy two days in Bratislava and the whole time we were there the temperatures were climbing! You may have seen the weather for Europe at the moment, basically the red bit under the heat warning is where we are at the moment - and it is supposed to be hotter still in Budapest!
The train journey to get here was unbearable! Extremely …

... from a far though!Also finding the countryside we were feet away from the Danua, enjoying a brisk tail wind. This propelled us along at 20mph. We exceeded 60 miles by lunch.
Eventually we left the easy riding and had to head out over rubbly *****, this consequently lead to Finn's pannier rack snapping! Despite this we clocked up 111miles before making camp, so Trev beat his record of distance cycled by a whole mile.

... make sense doesn't 'it? So I wonder what today's new BMW are like. Perhaps I should find out.
Anyway, where were we? Oh yes, in Hungary. I think for many people the name Hungary is connected with goulash, salami, steppes, or Hungarian music, well, it is for me, plus the year 1956 comes to mind as well. Also, to me, it is the land of the long weird place names. This afternoon I rode from Szombathely to Mosonmagyarovar to give you an idea what I ...

We stayed in July when it was very hot. The air conditioning system in this hotel is very noisy (like a building site!) I found it extremely difficult to sleep as it was so hot we had to have the air con on. The noise was not constant it would hum then rattle then every five minutes there would be a much louder noise for about 10 seconds that vibrated the room. Breakfast was satisfactory. They stopped refilling the hot dishes about 30mins before the end of the breakfast time so we missed out on some things. Wireless was good, location not so great, it is quite far from the centre of town.

Genre: Shaggy Historical Romance Comedy
Directed by: John Madden (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel)
Starring: Joseph Fiennes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Geoffrey Rush, Judi Dench
When I first saw Shakespeare in Love in 1998, I was entertained, charmed and, in general, had a good time at the movies. Since then my hand has hovered over the title countless times in DVD bins. I've been on the point of buying it more times than I care to think about, but something always holds me back. Now, encountering the film a second time for this screening, I know why. It's a film that — for all its charms — just doesn't require, at least for me, a second viewing. The charm of its shaggy Shakespeare story is still there. The whole premise of Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) turning a bad idea for a bad play called Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter into a certain well-known work with a slightly altered title by virtue of his own ill-fated romance is still a cheeky conceit. The performances — especially Geoffrey Rush as a much put-upon theatrical impresario — are terrific. Tom Stoppard's dialogue and John Madden's direction still sparkle. But the freshness of the experience has gone, at least for me, and nothing that remains quite lives up to that. If you've never seen it, you should. If you have... well, your second look may yield dividends mine didn't.
The Hendersonville Film Society will show Shakespeare in Love Sunday, June 30, at 2 p.m. in the Smoky Mountain Theater at Lake Pointe Landing Retirement Community (behind Epic Cinemas), 333 Thompson St., Hendersonville.

Evidence of Piezoelectric Resonance in Isolated Outer Hair Cells Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 3, 1 March 2005, Pages 2257-2265 R.D. Rabbitt, H.E. Ayliffe, D. Christensen, K. Pamarthy, C. Durney, S. Clifford and W.E. Brownell Abstract Our results demonstrate high-frequency electrical resonances in outer hair cells (OHCs) exhibiting features analogous to classical piezoelectric transducers. The fundamental (first) resonance frequency averaged fn∼13kHz (Q∼1.7). Higher-order resonances were also observed. To obtain these results, OHCs were positioned in a custom microchamber and subjected to stimulating electric fields along the axis of the cell (1–100kHz, 4–16mV/80μm). Electrodes embedded in the side walls of the microchamber were used in a voltage-divider configuration to estimate the electrical admittance of the top portion of the cell-loaded chamber (containing the electromotile lateral wall) relative to the lower portion (containing the basal plasma membrane). This ratio exhibited resonance-like electrical tuning. Resonance was also detected independently using a secondary 1-MHz radio-frequency interrogation signal applied transversely across the cell diameter. The radio-frequency interrogation revealed changes in the transverse electric impedance modulated by the axial stimulus. Modulation of the transverse electric impedance was particularly pronounced near the resonant frequencies. OHCs used in our study were isolated from the apical region of the guinea pig cochlea, a region that responds exclusively to low-frequency acoustic stimuli. In this sense, electrical resonances we observed in vitro were at least an order of magnitude higher (ultrasonic) than the best physiological frequency of the same OHCs under acoustic stimuli in vivo. These resonance data further support the piezoelectric theory of OHC function, and implicate piezoelectricity in the broad-band electromechanical behavior of OHCs underlying mammalian cochlear function.

A Two-State Piezoelectric Model for Outer Hair Cell Motility Biophysical Journal, Volume 81, Issue 5, 1 November 2001, Pages 2495-2506 K.H. Iwasa Abstract Recent studies have revealed that voltage-dependent length changes of the outer hair cell are based on charge transfer across the membrane. Such a motility can be explained by an "area motor" model, which assumes two states in the motor and that conformational transitions involve transfer of motor charge across the membrane and mechanical displacements of the membrane. Here it is shown that the area motor is piezoelectric and that the hair cell that incorporates such a motor in its lateral membrane is also piezoelectric. Distinctive features of the outer hair cell are its exceptionally large piezoelectric coefficient, which exceeds the best known piezoelectric material by four orders of magnitude, and its prominent nonlinearity due to the discreteness of motor states.

Piezoelectric Reciprocal Relationship of the Membrane Motor in the Cochlear Outer Hair Cell Biophysical Journal, Volume 82, Issue 3, 1 March 2002, Pages 1254-1259 Xiao-xia Dong, Mark Ospeck and Kuni H. Iwasa Abstract It has been shown that the membrane motor in the outer hair cell is driven by the membrane potential. Here we examine whether the motility satisfies the reciprocal relationship, the characteristic of piezoelectricity, by measuring charge displacement induced by stretching the cell with known force. The efficiency of inducing charge displacement was membrane potential dependent. The maximum efficiency of inducing charge displacement by force was ∼20fC/nN for 50-μm-long lateral membrane. The efficiency per cell stretching was 0.1pC/μm. We found that these values are consistent with the reciprocal relationship based on the voltage sensitivity of ∼20nm/mV for 50-μm-long cell and force production of 0.1nN/mV by the cell. We can thus conclude that the membrane motor in the outer hair cell satisfies a necessary condition for piezoelectricity and that the hair cell's piezoelectric coefficient of 20fC/nN is four orders of magnitude greater than the best man-made material.

Research Article
R.L. Zimmerman
Isotropic material can be made to exhibit piezoelectric effects by the application of a constant electric field. For insulators, the piezoelectric strain constant is proportional to the applied electric field and for semiconductors, an additional out-of-phase component of piezoelectricity is proportional to the electric current density in the sample. The two induced coefficients are proportional to the strain-dependent dielectric constant (depsilon/dS + epsilon) and resistivity (drho/dS - rho), respectively. The latter is more important at frequencies such that rhoepsilonomega less than 1, often the case in biopolymers.Signals from induced piezoelectricity in nature may be larger than those from true piezoelectricity.

3dr HB Man SE
Starting at | Starting at 27 MPG City - 33 MPG Highway
Econobox has become a bad word, but it seems Hyundai is out to redeem it with the Accent, which comes with the industry's best 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. With a starting price around $10,000 and a fully equipped model coming in well under $20,000, the stellar fuel economy seems like a bonus rather than a selling point. Six airbags, TPMS, eight-way adjustable driver's seat, tilt steering wheel and split folding rear seat are all standard for the sedan and both hatchback trim levels.
There are few changes to the Accent for 2009, but fun options like XM satellite radio and an MP3 jack are still available. Thanks to minor tweaks, the gas economy is a bit higher than last year, putting it at 27 mpg city, 35 mpg highway.
The Accent comes in three trim levels -- the most expensive of which starts around $15,000. The GS hatchback is the bare-bones option, the SE hatchback is the most luxe, and the GLS four-door sedan is the happy medium. All three have a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine making 110 hp mated to a 5-speed manual, but a 4-speed automatic transmission is available as an option.

International Urogynecology Journal
The International Urogynecology Journal is the official journal of the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA).The International Urogynecology Journal has evolved in response to a perceived need amongst the clinicians, scientists, and researchers active in the field of urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders. Gynecologists, urologists, physiotherapists, nurses and basic scientists require regular means of communication within this field of pelvic floor dysfunction to express new ideas and research, and to review clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of women with disorders of the pelvic floor. This Journal has adopted the peer review process for all original contributions and will maintain high standards with regard to the research published therein. The clinical approach to urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders will be emphasized with each issue containing clinically relevant material that will be immediately applicable for clinical medicine. This publication covers all aspects of the field in an interdisciplinary fashion

Murray State's Mushatt won't get sixth-year of eligibilityAbout six weeks ago, Murray State senior forward LaTreze Mushatt ruptured his Achilles tendon. That injury will force him to miss a big chunk of the 2012-13 season. The initial thought was Murray State could apply to the NCAA to get an injury waiver so Mushatt could get a sixth-year of eligibility. |

Title: Track Stars.: The Unseen Heroes of Movie Sound (1979)

This is a great little film, showing two sound engineers creating the post-sync sound effects (known as "foley") for a chase and fight sequence in an anonymous movie. Split-screens are used to show the movie action alongside the guys in the sound studio. The pace gets faster, the fighting gets harder, and the sound guys get right into it! The film shows how foley effects are created - but in reality, they aren't usually recorded in a continuous sequence like this - but who cares! It's a fun way to show how some of the elements of a movie soundtrack are added later. And belting the hell out of a big lump of meat hanging in the studio, to get the punching effects is a scream! Recommended for anyone interested in film sound or moviemaking generally.

LOL "everyones favorite lead developer" I hate ghostcrawler wow has been going down hill ever since he became "lead developer" this game has become such a joke and a lazy one at that using weapon and armor skins over and over again, Blizz has put less and less effort in the game since GC became "lead developer". IMO GC doesnt know the first thing about wow.
makes changes all the time without thinking about the actually change and the difference it will make, all his "wonderful ideas" that seem to get alot of ppl pissed off then he has change something else to fix it.

IDF vows to keep up air strikes as 120 rockets hit South
Iron Dome intercepts 10 rockets; Israel reviewing cease-fire proposal; Hamas figure involved in Schalit kidnapping killed.

Over 120 rockets and mortar shells slammed into Israel over the weekend as the IDF hammered the Gaza Strip and threatened to open a large ground offensive to stop the rocket attacks.
Five Israelis were reportedly wounded when scrambling to enter bomb shelters as rockets were being fired.
Rockets fired from Gaza bombard Ashkelon, w. Negev
Hamas: We'll broaden attacks if IDF strikes continue
Throughout the day, a number of messages were relayed to Israel by various mediators with an offer of a cease-fire from Hamas's political echelon in the Gaza Strip.
Defense officials said Hamas appeared to be split and that while its Izzadin Kassam military wing, led by Ahmed Jabari, was continuing to attack Israel, this was being done against the position of the political echelon led by Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.
The round of violence began on Thursday when Gazans fired an anti-tank missile at a school bus, critically wounding a 16- year-old boy and lightly injuring the driver. Hamas rocket and mortar attacks continued throughout Friday and Saturday in Beersheba, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Ofakim, Sderot and other Gaza-belt communities.
The Iron Dome counter-rocket defense system intercepted 10 Katyusha and Kassam rockets over the weekend that were fired in the direction of Ashkelon and Beersheba, where the two batteries are deployed.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak called the successful interception by the missile defense system "an extraordinary achievement for the IDF."
Defense officials said more than 20 Hamas operatives were killed over the weekend and that dozens of others were wounded by a series of air strikes against Hamas positions, bases and launch sites.
The IAF carried out at least 46 strikes in Gaza.
"They have been hit hard and we will continue to strike at them as long as the rocket and terrorist attacks continue," a senior defense official said on Saturday night.
Early on Saturday morning, the air force bombed a car in Rafah, killing three senior Hamas commanders including the head of Hamas in the city.
Israel blamed the slain commander for a rocket strike on Eilat launched from Sinai a fewmonths ago.
He was also said to have been involved in the 2006 kidnapping of IDF soldier Gilad Schalit.
Defense officials said the current operation was designed to create a new balance of power with Hamas. The officials said that the deterrence created following Operation Cast Lead two years ago has eroded and as a result it was necessary to create new understandings with the terrorist organization in Gaza.
Israel was reviewing the ceasefire proposal but would not accept a situation under which it halted military operations and continued to sustain rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip, they said. The success of Iron Dome was creating diplomatic maneuverability that was allowing the government more time to decide on the proposal, the officials said.
On Friday, the IAF bombed a terrorist cell that was behind the firing of Grad-model Katyusha rockets into Ashkelon earlier in the day, killing a senior Hamas field commander.
Meanwhile on Saturday, Hamas threatened to escalate it attacks and to hit a wider range of targets deeper inside Israel if the IDF refused to halt its aerial assaults on the Gaza Strip.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri blamed Israel for the rise in violence.
"If the Israeli escalation continues, amid international silence and complicity, the reactions by resistance factions will broaden," he told Reuters, saying such actions would be necessary to protect Palestinians in Gaza.
At the same time as it made the threats, however, the group seemed to be attempting to calm the situation.
Abu Zuhri said that Hamas operatives did not intend to target Israeli schoolchildren when they fired a guided missile at a school bus on Thursday.
"It was not known that the bus targeted on the outskirts of Gaza carried schoolchildren," Abu Zuhri said, adding that the road where the bus was traveling was often used by IDF vehicles.
Jerusalem Post staff and Reuters contributed to the report.
