Fact Sheet 14: Friends Board Development
The quality of a Friends Board will determine the quality of the group. The Friends Board will set the tone for fundraising, inclusiveness, programming, and the quality of the relationship between the library and the Friends. Here are a few tips on ensuring that your Board is as good as it can be.
- Your constitution and bylaws should outline the composition of the Board (officers and committee chairs, e.g.) as well as terms of office and how committee chairs are appointed. If your by-laws don't require terms of office, seriously consider amending them to do so. Established terms of office and rotation of leadership are vital to a dynamic organization.
- Though turnover of a portion of the Board should occur periodically and should be a part of the by-laws of the organization, good members can be retained by membership on committees or by asking them to serve again after a lapse of a year or two.
- Develop job descriptions for all Board positions and consciously review the roles and responsibilities of the Board each year as changes occur on the Board and within the library institution.
- The context of the mission of the group defines who should be on the Board. Choices might include: prominent citizens from various constituencies; emerging communities; politicians; specialists in law, marketing, computers, or accounting; and givers and doers in the community.
- Non-voting liaisons to the Board should include a representative from the library administration and a representative of the library's Board of Trustees. In addition, a member of the Friends Board should be appointed liaison to the Trustees (see Fact Sheets 10 and 11).
- A continuing long-term appraisal of the needs and performance of the board will help ensure that the board stays dynamic.
- Younger officers and key people in corporate settings and smaller companies are an excellent and often neglected source of board members. They can help with leadership, financial support, advocacy and volunteers. They want to be seen as good citizens and should be given a visible role.

Blog 2014: The Lifestyle category
I was looking for a category for my blog posts about accessibility, ethics, politics, human rights, love, relationships, and family, so I Googled some of those terms together, and the top result was lifestyle. A very nice definition I found on Wikipedia was:
Lifestyle may include views on politics, religion, health, intimacy, and more.
This sociological definition helped overcome my reservations about using the term lifestyle. You have to understand that there is a historical tension between straights and gays about lifestyle. You may have heard the expression "the homosexual lifestyle," as if there were just one lifestyle for all gay people, and as if everything that made up a person's sexual orientation and entire way of life outside of the bedroom could be reduced to the a lifestyle. I remember a gay activist saying, "so they [straight people who condemn "the homosexual lifestyle"] have a life, and we get a lifestyle" (as if a lifestyle were somehow cheaper than a life). Well, maybe it's time to let go of those old connotations and embrace the definition of lifestyle as simply a way of living, minus the judgment.
Another reason I picked the word lifestyle for this category is that some people classify blogs as either lifestyle or niche. Since my blog is a combination of niche and lifestyle, I chose lifestyle for those posts that do not fit a niche (like interpreting), but instead are about, well, "life."
I might change the name of this category, but for now, that's why I'm calling it Lifestyle.
Translations for CHA-HEAD other than ARROGANT
There is a sign in ASL some call CHA-HEAD because "cha" is the mouth morpheme used in ASL for something big, and the sign for BIG is made around the head level to indicate a "big head" (figuratively speaking). The formal gloss for this sign is ARROGANT (glosses are conventionally written in ALL CAPS). Since ASL has no written form, when people want to write about ASL, or talk about it in English, they assign glosses to signs. The benefit of these glosses is they give us a way to transcribe ASL for the purposes of notation and translation. The drawback of these glosses is they tend to limit our translation of these signs that one gloss, rather than to what the signs actually mean in context.
as any good interpreter or translator knows, words and signs in one languages do not always have single word/sign equivalents in another
One example of a gloss that I believe limits our vocabulary is the gloss ARROGANT for the sign, well, let's call it CHA-HEAD for lack of a better word other. The thing we might forget is that CHA-HEAD often doesn't mean anything as extreme as arrogant. A few cases in point: I was interpreting a video relay call some years ago (and of the thousands of call I interpreted in seven years, this is one that stands out), and a Deaf brother signed to his hearing brother something to the effect of YOU HEAD-CHA TELL DAD. I (unfortunately) voiced, "it was arrogant of you to tell him." The hearing brother said, "I'm not arrogant!" I realized at that moment is was my interpretation, not what his brother said, that he was responding to. I asked the Deaf caller to hold just a moment, and I explained to the hearing caller, "this is the interpreter— sorry about that interpretation. A better interpretation would have been, "you shouldn'ta done that." I chose that interpretation on second thought because that's what the Deaf person's utterance "felt" like when I saw it; in other words, that was the sense of what the Deaf person signed. I had made the mistake of interpreting the form of the word I had been taught for that sign, and the translation was woefully off. When I really thought about it for a moment (and how many "moments" do we really have when we are interpreting a phone call?), I realized not only did the sign not mean arrogant; it really didn't even translate to a particular word, but more to an expression.
Another case in point, which brought this up for me recently: I was debriefing with a fellow interpreter, and I felt I needed to call them out on something they did on the job that I felt was less than appropriate (as I've said, I believe interpreting teams need to be blunt with each other for the sake of consumers. We were conversing in both our languages (as bilingual people often do), and I said, "I thought that was a little [switching to ASL without mouthing] HEAD-CHA." My colleague said, "it wasn't arrogant!" Now, you have to understand, this colleague is an intelligent, well-educated, and seasoned interpreter, so if they thought of the word arrogant when confronted with that sign, it tells me the connotation is well entrenched among ASL-English interpreters. What I said to them was, "well, I didn't mean arrogant; I just meant kind of liberal [in the demand-control schema sense of favoring action as opposed to inaction]." I just felt that they had done something that overstepped an interpreter's bounds a bit. Of course, that is arguable, and the point is not which one of us was "right" or "wrong"— the point is that my colleague took exception to my ASL sign because of the denotation assigned to it by the English gloss.
A Thesaurus of Translations for HEAD-CHA other than ARROGANT
Since the sign in question means so many things milder than arrogant, here is a list of translations with a range of meanings to match a range of situations. Note these are not all single words, because as any good interpreter or translator knows, words and signs in one languages do not always have single word/sign equivalents in another. These translations are context-dependent, and are not by any means suggested to be one-size-fits-all. Pick and choose what suits the situation. Here's my list as of now:
- presumptuous
- to take it upon oneself to…
- to go right ahead and…
- to just…
- familiar
- forward
- to overstep
- overstepping one's bounds
- beyond one's place
- crossing the line
- a bit much, don't you think?
- the nerve!
- to have the nerve to…
- ballsy
- cheeky
- brazen
- bold
- conceited
- big-headed
- full of oneself
- taking liberties
- inappropriate
- to think [one] can just…
I'm sure the list could go on, but that's all I can think of at the moment. Do you have any other translations? Please leave a comment. Thanks!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Wishing you love and beauty, both within and without.
Blog 2014: Changing taxonomies
A couple of years ago, I split my multi-topic blog into five blogs, and decided to make my main one about Interpreting and Translation. Since those were the only topics, I decided to make my categories Articles, Editorials, Essays, and Vlogs. This year, however, I decided to reel it all back into this one blog. Since once again my blog would be about several topics, I needed to return to a more topical taxonomy. I changed the old categories to tags, and created new categories to fit my topics: American Sign Language & Deaf Culture, Business, Communications & Media Studies, Creative & Performing Arts, Photography, Education, Interpreting, Linguistics, Food, Lifestyle, and Travel. This taxonomy is a work-in-progress (especially Lifestyle).
I looked to the blogosphere to see how other bloggers were naming their categories and tags because I wanted to make it easier for people to find my stuff. One of the sources I found was this Popular Blog Categories infographic:
That got me wondering what other WordPress bloggers were calling their tags and categories, so I went to the WordPress Reader to explore Tags:
Some of these tags are ephemeral, like Blackhistorymonth; however, most of them are perennial words for what I've written about under different headings. I compared them with my tags and decided to go with the majority of bloggers on some of them: I changed essays to musings, editorials to opinion, and I split off posts tagged articles to either research or stories.
Taxonomy is a balancing act between what I want to call things and what others want to call things. I like to have my style, but if most people are using different words for the same things, I am willing to use their words so they understand me… within reason. I still won't say presently for currently, but I like musings, opinion, research, and stories. Thanks, bloggers!

Titles similar to Perfect Square
Hall, a graphic designer who made his picture-book debut with My Heart Is like a Zoo (2010), takes a simple square, changes its form in tangramlike ways, and creates a picture book that is handsome, bold, and (best of all) playful. Starting out as a happy red square on Monday, it is cut into strips and punched full of holes. The next spread shows the bits and pieces repositioned, forming an impressive, multitiered fountain. Torn into scraps on Tuesday, the square (now yellow and orange) becomes a garden of flowers. On the following days, the square is "shredded," "shattered," "snipped," and "crumpled and ripped and wrinkled," but each time, it is transformed into something new and beautiful. On Sunday, nothing happens, so the square makes itself "into a window" and looks out on the creations of the previous six days. Just as the crooked smile on the jacket changes the sophisticated design into something more human and inviting, so a few simple lines added to the pictures help change the scraps of paper into convincing new scenes. Bold colors and building anticipation make moments of drama out of the page turns. Memorable for reading aloud and terrific for inspiring creative play with the simplest materials.

Working Women: Alessandra Luchini
A local George Mason University scientist was just named one of the brightest young minds in the country by Popular Science magazine.
DR. Alessandra Luchini's field is nanoscience, the highly complex study of nanoparticles.
The 34-year-old researcher says growing up in Italy, she never dreamed of being a scientist, though she admits she was an atypical child.
"I never liked playing with dolls," she says. "I would rather dissect insects or play with stones and leaves."
In fact, she was studying literature in high school until she heard a scientist speak about nanoscience.
"I saw this futuristic approach of the material, the nanoscale and I thought, huh, maybe it's something going into it!" she says.
Luchini's ground breaking technology relates to early detection of diseases like Lyme disease, tuberculosis, even cancer. Molecular signs of disease exist in the body but are too small to detect, but Luchini's research is changing that. Her hope is to detect these faint hints of disease early enough to treat patients as quickly as possible.
"We really got to work with the patient and that's definitely the thing that makes me the most proud," she says.
Luchini splits her time teaching at Mason, and doing her research. She came to the U.S. for a one year fellowship, she met her husband here and now they have a baby named Sophia.
So six years later, and that acknowledgment in popular science.
"It was definitely a big surprise and big joy, of course," she says.

Politics, government and public life for Southern California
Bill Rosendahl returns to City Hall two months after cancer diagnosis
Two months after he was diagnosed with cancer, Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl returned to City Hall Tuesday with a pledge to run for a third term of office.
Rosendahl, 67, entered the chamber with the aid of a walker. After 13 radiation treatments and two chemotherapy sessions, the councilman has lost 45 pounds. It was only in recent days that his strength returned, he told reporters. He will go through another round of chemo next week.
"I feel strong enough not only to serve a third term, but my goal is to live until 96 and when I'm getting all this love...you know, God is love," Rosendahl said.
Up until now, the councilman has not disclosed what type of cancer he is battling. The cancer is of the ureter, which is a tube that connects the kidney and bladder. The councilman has a tumor between his fourth and fifth vertebrae and another tumor between the third and the fourth vertebrae, he said.

Praying the Psalms: Psalm 19
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
Scripture gives us multiple ways of looking at things, and a classic example of this is the parables of Jesus. Many of these involve looking at nature. For example, natural events like seeds growing—and what Jesus seems to be saying is look there is a surface reading of nature—and then there is the deeper reading, where you begin to realize there are levels of meaning that we don't pick up on our first acquaintance.
As a Christian, I can't think of a more beautiful process for God to have blessed the production of the elements that we need for life than the beauty of stars. In fact, we are told that we shine like stars in the universe.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.

This title in other editionsOther titles in the Land Fit for Heroes series:The Cold Commands (Land Fit for Heroes)by Richard K. Morgan
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:With The Steel Remains, award-winning science fiction writer Richard K. Morgan turned his talents to sword and sorcery. The result: a genre-busting masterwork hailed as a milestone in contemporary epic fantasy. Now Morgan continues the riveting saga of Ringil Eskiath—Gil, for short—a peerless warrior whose love for other men has made him an outcast and pariah. Only a select few have earned the right to call Gil friend. One is Egar, the Dragonbane, a fierce Majak fighter who comes to respect a heart as savage and loyal as his own. Another is Archeth, the last remaining daughter of an otherworldly race called the Kiriath, who once used their advanced technology to save the world from the dark magic of the Aldrain—only to depart for reasons as mysterious as their arrival. Yet even Egar and Archeth have learned to fear the doom that clings to their friend like a grim shadow...or the curse of a bitter god. Now one of the Kiriath's uncanny machine intelligences has fallen from orbit—with a message that humanity faces a grave new danger (or, rather, an ancient one): a creature called the Illwrack Changeling, a boy raised to manhood in the ghostly between-world realm of the Grey Places, home to the Aldrain. A human raised as one of them—and, some say, the lover of one of their greatest warriors—until, in a time lost to legend, he was vanquished. Wrapped in sorcerous slumber, hidden away on an island that drifts between... Synopsis:The Cold Commands continues award-winning author Richard K.

Created on Day 5
The jaws of the clown triggerfish are extremely powerful. They can break open the shells of mollusks and crabs, which they eat. This characteristic is not the result of chance, random processes of evolution; it is the result of design by this creature's Creator.
- The clown triggerfish gets its name because of its unusual coloring and pattern.
- The lower half of this fish's body is black with large, white spots, and the upper half is mostly black with a patch outlined in yellow.
- The clown triggerfish's lips are bright orange.
Fun Facts
- This fish is also called the big-spotted triggerfish.
- When alarmed or at night, the triggerfish wedges itself in a small hole by erecting its first dorsal spine. Fishermen discovered they could easily remove this fish from its hole by pressing on the second dorsal spine, which unlocks the first spine.
- The clown triggerfish is considered a highly prized aquarium fish, but it has a nasty disposition and usually requires a tank of its own.
CLASS: Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes)
ORDER: Tetraodontiformes (cowfishes, filefishes, leatherjackets,
puffers, triggerfishes, and trunkfishes)
FAMILY: Balistidae (triggerfishes)
GENUS/SPECIES: Balistoides conspicillum
Size: Up to 20 in (50 cm)
Depth: 3–250 ft (1–75 m)
Diet: Sea urchins, mollusks, and crustaceans
Habitat: Tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean

- If it was used in the script the above does work. I just don't have access to, and don't know anyone who does have access to, the script. Aholland 19:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
The planet's name in the script is likely derived from the term 'Amerindian', a portmanteau of 'American Indian'. 188.8.131.52 23:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

AnE. colicontamination has some Aberdeen residents stocking up on bottled water, but Angie Schock said this scare has not had much of an impact on her family.
"We just drink bottled water anyway," said Schock, who lives in one of the E. coli contaminated areas.
The city said Wednesday E. coli had been found in water in an 80-block area in northeast Aberdeen.
Schock, whose shopping cart contained a 5-gallon water container and a 24-pack of bottled water, said her family hardly ever uses faucet water. She and sons Baron, 9, and Gannon, 7, were shopping at Kessler's Thursday afternoon.
But because of the E. coli breakout, her family has taken some precautions — mostly boiling water for hygienic reasons.
"The biggest pain is brushing teeth," Schock said.
She has to place cups over the knobs of her bathroom faucets to remind her two sons not to use the water.
"I've had to tell them not to drink the water because there's bacteria in it that can make you sick," Schock said.
She cringed when she explained that her kids might not know what E. coli can do to them, but she does, and that is why she takes precautions for the family pets as well.
"We even boil water for our three pets. We have one dog and two cats," Schock said.
Although Schock is not too worried about the E. coli contamination in her neighborhood, Chris Fletcher, supervisor at Kessler's Food & Liquor, said there has been an increase in the amount of water sold since news of the health threat first surfaced Wednesday.
"I'll be surprised if we don't sell through at least half as much as we did yesterday," Fletcher said.
Foreseeing an even bigger increase in water sales during this time, he said more cases of water have been ordered for the store.
"We want to assure that we won't run out for people that need it," Fletcher said.
Paul Vetch, manager of Ken's Super Fair Foods, 2105 Sixth Ave. S.E., said staff responded to the water contamination by ordering more water as well. The store has on hand as much water as it would normally sell in a week's time to meet the demand.
There is also twice as much water on display at Ken's than usual, Vetch said, in order to make things easier for customers.
He said when the public first heard of the outbreak, shoppers were leaving the store with baskets full of just water.
But Thursday, water sales had calmed, Vetch said.
Barry Marcuson, a shopper at Ken's, said he was not at all worried about the contamination.
Marcuson said he uses WEB water within his home, which is just under a mile out of town, but he does have family affected by the contamination.
"My brother-in-law lives here in town, so I told him he can come out and get some jugs of water out of mine," Marcuson said.
Water sales also have been up at Natural Abundance cooperative, said Dawn Menning, manager.
She said about 180 more gallons of water had been sold by Thursday afternoon.
People contact Natural Abundance for water because of the system used to purify it, Menning said.
"Our water machine is a 14-stage reverse osmosis system," she said. "So it goes through a few filters, and it goes through an ultraviolent light and ozone process to keep bacteria out."
Menning said some customers panicked at first, but most of her costumers expressed that they have always been somewhat leery of the town's water.

Mayacoba Bean Salad with Pesto and Shrimp from Steve Sando's Heirloom Beans
Mayacoba Bean Salad with Pesto and Shrimp
Beans and seafood aren't one of the more obvious matches in the kitchen. It's a shame because the creaminess of the beans makes a rich seafood dish that's great with a crisp white wine like a Napa or Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc. The standard cheese and pine nuts are omitted from this pesto to keep the flavors pure.
2 garlic cloves
About 2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds
4 to 5 peppercorns
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups well-drained, cooked Mayacoba beans, warmed slightly
1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Freshly ground pepper
Make the pesto: Put the garlic, basil, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until chopped. With the motor running, slowly drizzling in the olive oil, and process until blended. Season to taste with pepper. Set aside.
Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the bay leaf, fennel and coriander seeds, peppercorns, garlic, wine, lemon half, and salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the shrimp, bring to a boil, and cook until the shrimp are opaque and firm, about 30 seconds. Drain well.
Put the beans and cherry tomatoes in a large salad bowl. Add the shrimp and toss gently. Pour the pesto over the salad. Toss and season with salt and pepper and the lemon juice. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Substitution Note: Mayacoba beans are white beans, so use cannellini, cellini, or marrow beans in their place. In a pinch, navy beans will work fine.

And The Oscar Goes to: Heath Ledger
Monday, June 30th, 2008
The cast of The Dark Knight are lobbying on behalf of the late actor for the gold statue.
Heath Ledger's costars from The Dark Knight, including two-time Batman Christian Bale, took turns at a press event this weekend praising and remembering the late actor's intense style. A few of them are even lobbying for a gold statue on his behalf.
"Definitely," said Aaron Eckhart, who plays doomed district attorney Harvey Dent to Ledger's droll and very creepy Joker. "Why not?"
Fellow castmember Gary Oldman was more pointed about it.
"Heath had this frequency none of us could hear," said Oldman. "The Academy tends to overlook movies like this, but this acting is so good it's going to be very hard for them to avoid it."
His other Gotham cohorts marveled at Ledger's obsession with detail:
He patched together influences ranging from A Clockwork Orange to ventriloquist dummies to Charlie Chaplin. The result: a Joker so demented and creepy he makes Nicholson's 1989 version look like Elton John in a bad mood.
"He called me during preproduction from time to time to tell me what he was working on," director Christopher Nolan recalled. "He told me he was researching the way ventriloquist dummies talk. It was a bit peculiar."
If the Academy does honor Ledger for his Joker character, it would be only the second posthumous acting win ever. The first went to Peter Finch for the 1976 movie Network.

Women's Basketball Hosts Ball State in Fourth-Straight Home Game
Follow @ISURedbirds Tweet #ISUATH Dec. 14, 2012
NORMAL, Ill. - After taking eight days off for finals, the Illinois State women's basketball team will host Ball State Sunday, in its fourth-straight home game in a five-game homestand. The Redbirds and the Cardinals will face off on the hardwood at 1:05 p.m., in the first game of an ISU basketball double header. Sunday's game will mark the 11th meeting between Illinois State and Ball State. The Redbirds hold a 6-4 advantage, winning the most recent game during the 2011-12 season on Nov. 11, 2011, in Muncie, Ind. Illinois State won by 11 points, 63-52. The series dates back to the 2001-02 season. ISU holds a 4-1 record in games played at Redbird Arena. The last time the two teams met in In ISU's last game, a 64-46 win against Northwestern, Dec. 7, Jamie Russell led Illinois State with 24 points and 10 rebounds, recording the second double-double of the season and her career. The senior guard also had five assists and three steals in 34 minutes. Katy Winge had a career-high 12 points, thanks to four shots from behind the arc in 21 minutes.

Sertoli-germ cell adherens junction dynamics in the testis are regulated by RhoB GTPase via the ROCK/LIMK signaling pathway (HTML)
Lui,Wing-Yee; Lee,William M.; Cheng,Chuen-yan
Biology of Reproduction 68(6): 2189-2206
Publication date: 2003
During spermatogenesis, cell-cell actin-based adherens junctions(AJs), such as ectoplasmic specializations (ESs), between Sertoliand germ cells undergo extensive restructuring in the seminiferousepithelium to facilitate germ cell movement across the epithelium.Although the mechanism(s) that regulates AJ dynamics in thetestis is virtually unknown, Rho GTPases have been implicatedin the regulation of these events in other epithelia. Studieshave shown that the in vitro assembly of the Sertoli-germ cellAJs but not of the Sertoli cell tight junctions (TJs) is associatedwith a transient but significant induction of RhoB. Immunohistochemistryhas shown that the localization of RhoB in the seminiferousepithelium is stage specific, being lowest in stages VII-VIIIprior to spermiation, and displays cell-specific associationduring the epithelial cycle. Throughout the cycle, RhoB waslocalized near the site of basal and apical ESs but was restrictedto the periphery of the nuclei in elongating (but not elongated)spermatids, spermatocytes, and Sertoli cells. However, RhoBwas not detected near the site of apical ESs at stages VII-VIII.Furthermore, disruption of AJs in Sertoli-germ cell cocultureseither by hypotonic treatment or by treatment with 1-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-indazole-3-carbohydrazide(AF-2364) also induced RhoB expression. When adult rats weretreated with AF-2364 to perturb Sertoli-germ cell AJs in vivo,a 4-fold induction in RhoB in the testis, but not in kidneyand brain, was detected within 1 h, at least 1-4 daysbefore germ cell loss from the epithelium could be detectedby histological analysis. The signaling pathway(s) by whichAF-2364 perturbed the Sertoli-germ cell AJs apparently beganwith an initial activation of integrin, which in turn activatedRhoB, ROCK1, (ho-assiated protein inase 1, also called ROKß), LIMK1 (LIM kinase 1, also called in-11 sl-1 ec3 kinase 1), and cofilin but not p140mDia and profilin via phosphorylation. Immunoprecipitationand immunoblots revealed that the induction of LIMK1 was mediatedvia an increase in its phospho-Ser but not phospho-Tyr content.Furthermore, Y-27632 ([(R)-(+)-trans-N-(4-pyridyl)-4-(1-aminoethyl)-cyclohexane-carboxamide,2HCl]), a specific ROCK inhibitor, could effectively delay theAF-2364-induced germ cell loss from the seminiferous epitheliumin vivo, illustrating that the integrin/RhoB/ROCK/LIMK pathwayindeed plays a crucial role in the regulation of Sertoli-germcell AJ dynamics. The fact that the RhoB pathway in the kidneyand brain was not activated suggests that AF-2364 exerts itseffects primarily at the testis-specific ES multiprotein complexstructures between Sertoli cells and spermatids. In summary,this report illustrates that Sertoli germ cell AJ dynamics areregulated, at least in part, via the integrin/ROCK/LIMK/cofilinsignaling pathway.

Oct. 22
6:15 a.m. — 13800 Waterthrush Place. Information. The complainant heard his neighbor's car horn going off for about 15 minutes. He checked the car doors, and they were locked. The lights in the house were on, and a dog was barking inside the house. The responding deputy walked around the residence and didn't see anyone. The front door was unlocked. The responding deputy entered the residence to make sure no one was in distress. The owner returned about 45 minutes later and stated she didn't know why the horn was going off and that everything looked to be OK.
Oct. 23
10:30 a.m. — 5500 Lakewood Ranch Blvd. (Lakewood Ranch High). Battery. Two juvenile students got into a fight over one of the students not being allowed to participate in throwing a football. When the football wasn't caught and bounced on the ground, both students ran after the ball and collided, causing the aggression toward each other as they thought it was done deliberately.
Oct. 22
1 p.m. — 900 block of 154th Street Northeast. Burglary to an unoccupied dwelling. Unknown person(s) entered the victim's residence possibly through an unlocked back door. Once inside, the person(s) removed $3,750 and then fled in an unknown direction.

Oct. 22
3:11 — 8750 S.R. 70 E. (Sweetbay). Petit theft. A white female in her 20s reportedly walked out of the store with a 12-pack of beer and two sub sandwiches.

The suspect was seen getting into a Jeep. The complainant was able to get a tag number for the vehicle, which was observed on video.
Oct. 23
4:57 p.m. — The intersection of Country Park Way and University Parkway. DUI with property damage. The deputy arrived at the location in response to a crash.

The defendant's vehicle was towed, and she was transported to the Manatee County Jail.
6:55 p.m. — 9515 S.R. 64 E. (Freedom Elementary). Burglary to an occupied structure. Two juveniles entered the school's double doors without permission.

I've had this quick release for 6 years and it still works great. I've bent the inside tabs that hold the flag but nothing that can't be bent back. Six seasons of dune riding and still going strong. Great product and a great price
