Dominic Massa / Eyewitness News
The national media spotlight shines this weekend on part-time New Orleans resident, Fair Grounds favorite and superstar jockey Rosie Napravnik, who will be profiled on Sunday's "60 Minutes," just before she rides in the upcoming Kentucky Derby.
"60 Minutes" correspondent Bob Simon will profile Napravnik for this Sunday's program. Watch an excerpt here.
"No other jockey has won more races this year than Rosie Napravnik, the only female riding in the upcoming Kentucky Derby and one of only a handful of successful female jockeys in the sport's history," says CBS in promotional material for the program.
Napravnik leads the nation in horse racing wins and recently picked up her third consecutive riding title at the New Orleans Fair Grounds. She lives part-time in the city with her husband.
"Despite steady success over many years, top thoroughbred jockey Rosie Napravnik says she still encounters bias from trainers and owners who prefer a man aboard their horses and has to put up with male jockeys who try to taunt and intimidate her because of her gender," said CBS in their press release.
But Napravnik tells Bob Simon the best way to deal with such prejudice is by beating her antagonists on the track.
Napravnik has steered horses to winnings of $48 million since she began riding professionally eight years ago, a good record that can change attitudes. So, says Napravnik, "Most of the time I feel like I'm just one of the guys."
Still, some in racing don't think women belong on their horses.
"There are still owners and trainers that don't want to ride a female. The only way that I deal with that is…to try to beat that person in a race," she tells Simon. And she has. Her mounts have been in the money almost 60 percent of the time this year.
Napravnik, 25, was alsoprofiled recently by the New York Times
"The 113-pound New Jersey native isn't just the most successful 'girl jockey' on the horse-racing circuit today; she's one of the best American jockeys, period," said the newspaper in its profile.
"60 Minutes" airs Sunday at 6 p.m. on WWL-TV Channel 4.

KENNEWICK, Wash. -Unless we get a good hard freeze soon, this could be a bad year for weeds.
Robin Kusske at the Franklin County Noxious Weed Control Board says a large variety of weeds are enjoying the mild winter, especially Tackweed, also known as Puncturevine and Goathead.
"It's still green out there. All the winter annuals are just doing a fabulous job. There's a lot of moisture in the soil. It's going to be there in the spring and early summer, and so those weeds are really going to take off."
Last summer, volunteers walked the trail in Franklin County,pulling tackweed along the way.
The tackweed coalition is looking for volunteers to help out in this year's Great American Tackweed Project.

Lenses: Using Primes, Choosing a Brand
One of the beauties of DSLR moviemaking is being able to change lenses. Up until this point in history, every video camera below $5k has had one fixed lens that you shot everything through.1 No longer!
But wait, what's the advantage of having interchangeable lenses, you ask? After all, many people buy their first DSLR and only use the all-purpose lens that came with it (sort of defeating the purpose of having a SLR in the first place). Well, there is no such thing as an "all-purpose lens." It'd be like wearing an all-season outfit — you need winter clothes for when it's cold out, summer clothes for when it's hot out, and no clothes for when it's nudist out.
With DSLR moviemaking, if you want your films to look like everyone else's, use the stock lens. Fine. But the stock lens is not best suited for narrative filmmaking. It's cool for documentary, but for a shallow depth of field and better low-light sensitivity, you're going to want Prime lenses. Wait, let me stress this a bit more:
Yes, for narrative filmmaking, primes are your BFF. Documentarians will probably want more zoom lenses in their kit for flexibility, but primes (meaning, lenses with a fixed focal length) are generally faster (in terms of light, I mean, not "how many shots you can get in an hour") and less expensive. They also make you reposition the camera and put some thought into getting a shot rather than automatically reaching for the zoom, the latter of which is the hallmark of home movies.
Primes are less expensive than more mechanically complex zoom lenses, and because they've been around for years, "buy used" has seldom been more true than when it comes to DSLR lenses. New DSLRs come with autofocus lenses, which work great for still images, but in video mode they're stuck using a contrast-detection method which is too slow to be viable; no one should be using autofocus on narrative films anyway. If you buy the camera with a bundled lens, you'll get a solid all-around lens for taking still photos; however, if you're on a tight budget and are mostly interested in shooting movies, you can skip the bundled lens, buy the body-only version, and spend the savings on used lenses. Here's where the great advantage of "obsolete" technology comes in: there are thousands of manual focus-only lenses out there with a deflated value because of their relative uselessness on modern DSLRs — except when it comes to video mode, where they're suddenly useful again. While you can't beat good cine lenses, at this price point it's a blessing to have so many interchangeable lenses available at bargain prices. Because many of these older manual lenses may not be up to the task of resolving 21 megapixels with aplomb, they don't need to; in video mode, 1080p amounts to just shy of 2 megapixels, and any old halfway-decent SLR lens outstrips this resolution. For the web almost any SLR lens will be sharp enough, but if you're planning on going to the big screen (theatrical, a festival run, etc.) then you'll want to make sure you're getting a sharp enough piece of glass.
When it comes to assembling a kit of lenses, most filmmakers like to choose a brand and stick with it, so the visual characteristics of the lenses match up from shot-to-shot; with the same brand lenses in your kit, the lenses will also handle similarly (some have dampened focus rings and true aperture rings, whereas others rely on the camera for aperture selection electronically and have looser focus rings designed for autofocus). Matching a lens brand to your camera — a common practice in the still world, and often a necessary one given the differences in lens mount electronics between manufacturers — is not nearly as important for video.2 And thanks to the widespread availability of quality, low-cost lens adapters (pictured right) that allow one manufacturer's lenses to work with another's camera, you don't have to put Canon lenses on a Canon — you can generally interchange manual lenses at will with the right adapters. More on adapters in a bit, but first, let's take a look at the particular characteristics of each lens brand, for which I'll defer to DP Shane Hurlbut (Into the Blue, Terminator Salvation), who summarized them nicely on his blog:
- Canon lenses "produce wonderful skin tones, have medium contrast and give you a wonderful gradation into the blacks." The problem is, any recent Canon lens relies on the camera's electronics to control the aperture (not a good thing; most camera operators, myself included, would rather have instant, tactile access to exposure controls), and older manual Canons are generally thought of as being slightly optically inferior to their Nikon counterparts. However, if you're buying a Canon EOS and going the hybrid route — you plan on shooting a lot of stills in addition to video — you will definitely want some quality, modern Canon glass.
- Zeiss lenses "produce a colder, contrasty feel. They are incredibly sharp… Be sure to use more fill light when using these lenses and also control your highlights." Shane's absolutely right; one of the disadvantages to a DSLR movie when compared to, say, 35mm film is the DSLR has less dynamic range (and, to date, lacks some of the gamma knee options of a sophisticated video camera to control highlights). A very saturated, contrasty lens like the Zeiss would often be an advantage, and I do appreciate their aesthetic (I own a Zeiss set myself), but you have to be even more careful with Zeiss lenses to protect your highlights from blowing out harshly (tip: use the Magic Lantern zebra stripes). Zeiss lenses are famous for having very large, all-metal focus rings with a lot of fluid drag, which many DPs like (I actually find the action a tad too heavy for handheld work), and they share many rendering qualities with Zeiss cine lenses, which is to say: they're beautiful.
- Nikon lenses "are sharp with a little softer contrast than the Zeiss lenses." In my own experience, Nikon lenses are generally the most widely available and least expensive. They have manual apertures and a light touch to their focus rings (which I happen to like, but some don't), but they have one main problem: their focus rings turn in the opposite direction of every other lens (which can be confusing for operators or focus pullers). This means instead of turning the focus ring clockwise to focus nearer, you turn Nikon lenses counterclockwise. I can't explain how infuriating this can be if you're used to the "standard" configuration; there are reversing gears for use on a follow focus, but it's a consideration regardless.
- Panavisions, of course, "are the ultimate lenses." But you can't afford them (in fact, you can't even buy them). If your production has a sizable budget and you're planning on renting equipment (and are shooting on a DSLR for some reason), by all means check them out, but know you'll need special adapters as well.
- Leica lenses "delivered beautiful contrast and color throughout. They felt the closest to the Panavision Primo primes and had more of a cinema focus throw, even more than the Zeiss ZE primes. These lenses resolve so well on the big screen." I haven't used Leica lenses myself, but shooters love them; there's some more on Leica lenses in the next section.
Finally, Zeiss has released a complete set of Compact Prime CP.2 lenses tailored for DSLR filmmaking. These lenses are no joke, and as you can see, neither is their price. But compared to, say, their complete set of DigiPrimes, the Compact Prime 2s are a bargain! Especially considering they are Zeiss's first set of cine lenses to offer full-frame coverage (this means you, 5D Mark II owners, as well as future RED full-framers). So, what are some of the advantages of these Compact Primes? Geared focus and iris rings, smooth aperture adjustment (no mechanical stops), 14 aperture blades (which equals a smoother bokeh than their 9-bladed counterparts), and an interchangeable EOS/PL lens mount — it's enough to get a filmmaker like myself, who (present guide otherwise excepted) often wants to scream "enough about the minutiae of the technology, how good was the writing?!? And what does it mean?" excited about spending money I don't have. Here's the thing to keep in mind with lenses in general: of all of the gear covered in this guide, lenses just might be the best investment, because good optics will never be obsolete. So say you mortgage the house and drop $20k on these Compact Primes? They'll work on your DSLR, a full-frame RED, a 35mm film camera, and basically any cinema camera going forward (and they hold their value well if you one day decide to, or need to, sell). Just something to keep in mind as you budget for the various components listed here.
- There might be exceptions to this rule, but it's basically true. [↩]
- The newest version of the Magic Lantern firmware includes auto rack-focusing as a feature of software; it remains to be seen how practically important it is, but it does offer a compelling reason to stick with Canon autofocus lenses, if you like the idea of automated focus pulls. Personally, I'm not interested, but there may be some follow focus devices coming down the pipeline that use the Canon internal electronics. [↩]

FM Tuner support is there. I'm not sure how much youv'e looked at the source code or the wiki but the whole concept of Open Mobile is a very modular design. Plugins implement interfaces that match their function.
The A/V department is taken care of by the IAVPlugin and ITunedContent interfaces. We already have a media player plugin which is based on DirectShow and can play almost every type of media.
I had plans to do a plugin for the DirectedHD and Visteon unit with mitch's cable but haven't worked out 100% of the details for how I want to implement stream management. One option is to let the tuned content plugins manage the streams completely, handling pausing, buffering, seeking and routing. The other option is to have open mobile manage all this with the assumption that all tuned content plugins will require this functionality. Of course I haven't thought about this in awhile so there could be an option 3 i'm forgetting about.

*Press release from the UW-Stevens Point athletic department*
The UW-Stevens Point football team jumped out to an early 21-0 lead and
held survived a late fightback by Dubuque to hold on for a 31-28 win
over the Spartans on Saturday at Community Stadium at Goerke Park.
The Pointers (2-0) held a 31-14 lead with 13:01 to play following a Jesse Vervelde 33-yard field goal. However, the Spartans scored two touchdowns in the next ten minutes to get within three. Dubuque (1-2) then attempted an onside kick but UWSP gained possession after an illegal touching penalty on the Spartans. The Pointers then succeeded in running out the clock thanks to a fourth down conversion on a run by Mitch Beau.
Early on, UW-Stevens Point was in command after scoring three touchdowns in the first ten-plus minutes of the game. After a Zach Vallafskey interception on Dubuque's opening drive set the Pointers up at the Spartans 35 yard line, Beau connected with Matt Sosinsky for a 13-yard touchdown with 10:42 left in the first quarter.
Just 1:26 later, UWSP doubled their lead on a defensive touchdown by Jon Pahl. Pahl sacked and wrestled the ball away from Dubuque quarterback Bryan Bradshaw and took the ball 18 yards for the score at the 9:16.
Beau hooked up with Andre Bodden for an eight-yard touchdown to make it 21-0 at the 4:44 mark of the opening quarter. The touchdown came on a quick slant and capped a five-play, 49 yard drive after a Spartans punt set the Pointers up with good field position.
After trailing 21-0, Dubuque hung around in the game after two second quarter touchdown passes from Bradshaw to Tyler Rutenbeck. The pair connected for touchdowns of eight and 16 yards. The first touchdown was set up by Sosinsky fumbled punt. Rutenbeck also scored one of the late touchdowns for the Spartans and finished the game with seven catches for 71 yards and the three touchdowns.
Ahead 21-14, UWSP then stretched the lead to 17 at 31-14 after an Adam Vesterfelt one-yard touchdown and Vervelde's field goal. That set the stage for another Dubuque comeback but the Pointers held on to move to 2-0 for the first time since 2008.
Beau was 25-for-39 through the air for 221 yards and threw two touchdowns and one interception. Sosinsky led UWSP with five catches for 62 yards and one score.
Bradshaw threw for 244 yards on 22-for-41 passing. He threw four touchdowns but also was picked off three times by the UWSP defense. In addition to Vallafskey's early interception, Cody Seibel and Mike Longmeyer had interceptions. Longmeyer's interception was his second in two games and came in the end zone.
UW-Stevens Point outrushed Dubuque 197-21 for the game. The Spartans 21 yards came on 21 rushes. Beau led the Pointers with 57 yards on the ground. The UWSP backfield of Vesterfelt and Ian Neville combined for 102 yards on the ground.
UW-Stevens Point outgained Dubuque 418-265 in total offense. The Pointers turned the ball over three times on one interception and two fumbles, while the Spartans fumbled once in addition to Bradshaw's three interceptions.
Vallafskey, Cody Seibel, and Bennet Wenzel each had seven total tackles for UW-Stevens Point's defense. Seibel had a sack to add to his interception. Baline Snitker had 11 tackes for Dubuque, while Vincent Whipple had 10 and two pass break-ups.
The Pointers travel to Naperville, IL for a match-up with No. 6 North Central College (2-0) on Saturday at 1 pm. The Cardinals have defeated UW-La Crosse (41-24) and UW-Stout (41-14).

Pupils wear pink to support Bacup toddler battling leukaemia
10:00pm Friday 7th February 2014 in News
HUNDREDS of schoolchildren and staff will be donning something pink for a non-uniform day to raise cash for a Bacup toddler battling leukaemia.
Ten schools have confirmed they will participate in the event in aid of three-year-old Anna Brooks, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in August last year.
Team Anna, a group of volunteers fundraising for CLIC Sargent, which provides care for children with cancer including Anna, are planning to stage the event on Friday, February 14.
Last month, the team lost £2,500 in cash donations after Blossoms Private Day Nursery, the nursery Anna attended before becoming too ill, was raided by thieves who ripped the safe off the wall.
Sara Steel, of Team Anna, said: "It was a real blow having half the money we'd raised in six months stolen.
"But despite the setback, organisation of future events has continued apace.
"As well as the non-uniform day, we are hosting a Mother's Day Market on Sunday, March 23 at Pioneer Gym.
"Other events include a team entry into the Rossendale Triathlon, a zumbathon and a ladies night to name a few."
Schools taking part in the day so far are Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School, Bacup St Mary's RC Primary School, Sharneyford Primary School, St Mary's RC Primary School, Haslingden.
Our Lady and St Anselm's RC Primary School, Whitworth, Bacup Nursery School, Blossoms Private Day Nursery, Northern Primary School, St Peter's RC Primary School, Newchurch, and Haslingden St James CofE Primary School are also taking part.
Anna is currently undergoing treatment at Manchester Children's Hospital. To make a donation to Anna's cause, visit www.justgiving.com/ teams/teamannafund.

Why Can't People Let The Tony Soprano Alive-Or-Dead Question Rest? It's Hard-Wired

Did David Chase Just Tell Us That Tony Soprano Isn't Dead?
That's certainly what Martha P. Nochimson and her editors at Vox think. And so an essay of nearly 5,000 words – many of them, from both Nochimson and Chase himself, erudite and insightful – get boiled down (not least by Vox itself) into a seemingly unambiguous answer to what is actually quite an ambiguous question. (What does it really mean to say, "Tony Soprano lives!"?)
David Chase Responds: By No Means Did I Say That Tony Soprano Is Alive
A publicist for the Sopranos showrunner said in a statement: "To simply quote David as saying, 'Tony Soprano is not dead,' is inaccurate. There is a much larger context for that statement and as such, it is not true." The statement goes on to remind us what Chase has said about the subject many times, and Vox culture editor Todd VanDerWerff offers a defense of the article.

End of an Era: MacArthur Demolition Begins
10/15/2013 (Updated 6:50:08 PM)(Source: Jeremy Donovan)
"I think it's a word that's going to be said from every house from center city to the hills of the southside, and that word is 'finally!'" said Sherry Lasowski, former MacArthur teacher.
Finally, after two years of cleanup following the flood, finally, after countless board meetings and design meetings, and finally, after a public referendum passed in April, the old MacArthur is coming down.
Demolition on the school officially began Tuesday marking the first major step in the rebuilding process. Demolition is expected to take 6-8 weeks with construction of the new building beginning in January.
"The new MacArthur will be the jewel of the southside," said Marion Martinez, Superintendent of Binghamton City School District.
The new school is designed with the future in mind, energy efficient and most importantly, elevated to prevent future flooding. So, hopefully students and faculty will never have to be separated again.
"There's a lot people who are anxious to get back and have their kids back together, have their teachers back together. So, this is the first real step of something the public can see," said Maura Kammerman, Binghamton City School Board President.
The new MacArthur will be a symbol of the long road traveled since the flood, while the old MacArthur, while it still stands, will be a symbol of the memories the building shared. Many people at the ceremony brought home a brick, as a symbol and a reminder of those memories.
"This would be a tangible object to see, to remind you of that it's a physical thing you can touch. It's part of it, and that way a part of the old MacArthur will always be with me," said Carol Hawley, neighbor, former parent and employee.
"And keep those memories, but be the historians, be the storytellers, share those memories, so that people don't forget this wonderful building," Lasowksi said.
While the last two years have been long, the next two will be filled with excitement as the new MacArthur is finally set to open for fall 2015.
"I look forward to the day when the children come up the sidewalk for the first time, because I know that MacArthur School will reach out and embrace them, and our family will be back together, and our children will finally be home, where they belong," Lasowki said.

A new trend in child delivery designed to bring baby and mom closer after a cesarean delivery is happening in Southwest Florida.
The gentle cesarean allows for babies to be placed right on mom's chest after birth.
Thirty percent of deliveries are cesarean and to ensure a sterile and efficient surgery, most babies go straight to the care of nurses after cesarean delivery.
With a vaginal birth, mothers get to hold their babies right away.
Cape Coral Hospital Nursing Director Nancy Travis says the more intimate setting helps with vital signs and breastfeeding right away.
"The babies body temperature will mimic the mother's and mom is the best warmer for baby," Travis said.
But Travis says with any new medical practice comes concern.
Tight space in the operating room could make it harder to coordinate care for mom and baby in the crucial minutes after a surgery requiring anesthesia.
"Everyone in the room has to agree to do the gentle cesarean," Travis said.
Travis said the first gentle cesarean in the Lee Memorial Health System happened Friday after a news story about the procedure inspired her team of doctors and nurses.
Travis also said she plans to offer the new service to women undergoing a c-section if the mother and team of doctors and nurses are willing.

RALEIGH — Just days after the so-called "polar vortex" froze much of the country, temperatures warmed dramatically Saturday and brought destructive, stormy weather to the Triangle.
Heavy gusts of wind – some reaching a record speed of 86 mph – caused heavy damage throughout the region. The afternoon began with tornado warnings for Wake, Orange, Durham and Chatham counties, and reports of a funnel cloud south of Carrboro.
One man in the Wakefield area of North Raleigh was seriously injured when a tree fell on him. In Raleigh, a massive oak tree fell across lanes of Glenwood Avenue near the Carolina Country Club, tying up traffic on a major north-south route through the city.
Much of an under-construction apartment complex in Brier Creek in North Raleigh toppled over in the wind and was reduced to piles of wooden wall frames and plywood. Various other types of wind- and flood-related damage were also reported across the region, including trees crashing into homes.
WTVD chief meteorologist Chris Hohmann said he couldn't remember ever having such a dramatic shift from extreme cold to extreme storms in such a short period of time.
"There was an 80-degree feel-like difference from Tuesday to Saturday," Hohmann said, noting that temperatures topped 70 degrees.
The 12 to 15 mile-wide cell – with major wind bursts and heavy rain – moved through the area quickly, with warnings and watches lifted a couple of hours after the chaos arrived.
"It made it from Greensboro to Rocky Mount in two hours. You can't drive that fast. That's as fast as you will see a storm move in this area," Hohmann said of the front's 50-60 mph speed. "It was a quick hitter, but it did leave its mark."
The 86 mph gust was recorded near Raleigh-Durham International Airport, and broke the previous record by 7 mph. Most gusts didn't approach that (Johnston County saw a gust reach 80 mph), but 74 mph marks hurricane-strength wind, and 58 mph is regarded as a threshold at which major damage can be expected, Hohmann said.
Wind caused power outages for about 29,000 Duke Energy Progress customers in Wake County, according to outage maps. Neighboring counties experienced similarly common blackouts.
Damage reports came in from around the county, though the Leesville Road and Morrisville areas took some of the heaviest blows. Elsewhere, two trees crashed through the ceilings of homes in a Cary mobile home park that backs up to the northwest side of the WakeMed Soccer Complex off Maynard Road.
No one was hurt when the trunks snapped off around 10 feet off the ground and crashed into the homes, but the residents cannot stay in the homes. Red Cross was on the scene assisting.
Initial reports on the man struck by a tree indicated that he was breathing but was unconscious when emergency services arrived and that he suffered multiple fractures. Wake EMS District Chief Jeff Hammerstein said he had been taken to WakeMed Hospital.
The flagpole on top of the Department of Revenue building in downtown Raleigh split in half with part of it dangling by a thread.
Wake Forest officials advised people to avoid several streets where winds had toppled trees and power lines.
There were also reports of flash flooding. One resident of a Wake County Housing Authority complex in Zebulon said there was flash flooding where he lives.
"We're getting flooded out pretty bad. It's going into some of the apartments," Thomas Allen said of the complex at Shannon Drive and Pony Road.
All warnings were lifted by late afternoon. The weather also canceled a variety of events across the area, including the Capital Area Soccer League's Play4Kay four-on-four soccer tournament at WRAL Soccer Center to benefit the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. It has been rescheduled for Sunday.

A new discussion is posted : How can pro-poor sustainable land tenure be secured?
A discussion on communal vs. individual land rights. Facilitated by our partner IALTA
There is a new discussion posted on the Research Page of the Land Portal facilitated by the International Alliance on Land Tenure and Administration (IALTA). The topic is how pro-poor sustainable land tenure can be secured, specifically concerning communal land rights and individual land rights. This discussion is aimed at gathering concrete examples on the ground that can be useful for practitioners in the field.The discussion is running in three separate languages (english, spanish, and french ) and will be open until July 15.

Processes and impacts of rangeland fragmentation on group rights
Enviado por Fiona Flintan el Sáb, 07/07/2012 - 4:04pm.
Many parts of the rangeland in the Horn and East Africa have been highly fragmented, putting the pastoral systems in these areas at risk of complete collapse. The pastoralist production system suffers as it is dependent on having access to communally held seasonal grazing areas and water sources, and when migration routes to grazing and water get blocked, pastoralist production becomes impossible on the remaining areas of the rangeland.
The root causes and processes of land fragmentation vary, but some common themes exist:
i) Lack of support for pastoralism and inappropriate land use planning.
There is a general lack of support for pastoralism as the most appropriate land use system for the majority of dryland areas and a general misunderstanding of the interconnectedness of pastoralism, where the different parts of the pastoral system (social and ecological) are highly interlinked. Inappropriate development and land use planning systems fail to accommodate for this. Planning and tenure (where it exists) focus on small administrative units and individual resources. This threatens the health of the rangeland and its ability to support pastoral systems.
ii) Conversion for agriculture
Of increasing concern is the trend of leasing large tracts of land in pastoral areas for commercial investment (both foreign and national). In Kenya the Tana Delta is a primary target for this investment and the planned LAPSET (Lamu Port-Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport) Corridor across northern Kenya will open up pastoral areas to (both positive and negative) interventions. In Ethiopia in 2009 the government launched an investment plan to provide 3.7 million hectares of land for agricultural development. To date around 1.3 million hectares have been designated—the majority of which is found along the major rivers in pastoral areas. Taking land from along rivers prevents the access of pastoralists to vital dry season grazing areas.
iii) Conversion for ranching and individual landholdings
Ranching has been introduced to many countries in East Africa. In Uganda for example, the Ankole rangelands form part of the western section of Uganda's cattle corridor. Over a period of fifteen years 50 ranches of around 1,200 hectares (12 sq km) each were established, with many given to absentee landlords. The large numbers of pastoralists who were displaced were forced into a protracted migration across southern and central Uganda as they tried to access grazing in protected areas and remaining common property areas. Across Kenya settlement has been encouraged in pastoral areas, and some districts—such as Machakos¬—are now totally converted to agriculture. The northern rangelands have been carved up into individual commercial ranches and farms. In Laikipia 48 individuals control 40.3% of the land (937,583 hectares) as commercial ranches or conservancies (the latter with an area dedicated to wildlife conservation). Many are held without clear legal title. In addition there are 23 large-scale farms covering 1.48% of Laikipia. The farms are fenced off and rarely provide livestock corridors for pastoralists. 27.21% of the land is under small-holder agriculture. Most pastoralists are limited to 13 group ranches in the drier northern parts covering 7.45% of the district (Letai 2011). Corruption and bias in land allocations in Kenya has contributed to the displacement of the poorest in particular, and the marginalisation of women (Mwangi 2007).
Additional causes of rangeland fragmentation include: mineral exploitation, the invasion of alien plants such as Prosopis juliflora, conflict and the establishment of protected areas.
Impacts of rangeland fragmentation
Rangeland fragmentation is one of the key reasons why the ability of pastoralists to overcome drought has been severely reduced. With less grazing land available, the poorest pastoralists in particular are unable to retain herds of a sufficient size to survive protracted dry periods. As resources become scarcer, remaining patches are 'privatised' by more powerful community members—keen to maintain their own access to them. Such individualistic attitudes are new, and disadvantage the poorest even further by affecting the traditional customary safety nets and livestock redistribution practices that used to support them. Now neither the government nor customary governance systems are effectively protecting resource access for the poorest. As a result new vulnerable groups are emerging in pastoralist communities across the region. These include: asset-poor households; small stockowners; families with few or no working members who are unable to access distant resources including water; widows; aged persons; and households with limited access to social networks. Pastoral resources outside the control of development schemes are now gradually coming under the possession of urban-based traders and herd owners, who exploit the uncertainty surrounding pastoral land rights.
Women and men experience these changes differently. When land tenure is formalised women have not automatically benefited and in some cases have lost out. Weak customary systems no longer protect them. Women are often left as 'de facto' heads of their households but without the decision making power or a public voice in community discussions. However it seems that women are better able to make the most of new and opening opportunities and in particular for business development, working well as a group. Though workloads have increased, many women are happy to have a more independent income. However those women who have had less exposure to alternative lifestyles can feel highly insecure about the future.
In order to better secure rights for rangeland users the causes, trends and impacts of rangeland fragmentation need to be better understood. Development and land use planning need to occur at a scale and in a manner that is appropriate to pastoral production systems (usually as a landscape or rangeland), building on pastoral knowledge and tried and tested systems. Land and resources require protection such as (serviced) migration routes for pastoralists. The most appropriate land tenure system for a given context needs to be identified and developed with rangeland users: in particular it should protect the poorer less powerful groups in society. A system of 'nested governance institutions' have been identified as the most appropriate. In some cases rights exist yet pastoralists do not know about them: as such, awareness and understanding needs to be improved. Investments need to be made in secure cross-border movement and regional pastoral development.
These issues are discussed in more detail in the full research report, which can be found on the land portal: "Broken Lands, Broken Lives?"

Arm Yourself Against Injury
To start, simply get down on your hands and knees and lift your rib cage up toward the ceiling so you're not sagging weight down into your shoulder joints. Then lift one arm up next to your ear, which will put a little more weight onto the other arm and shoulder. When you are ready for a bigger challenge, you can progressively add to the load on the shoulder muscles by doing variations of the classic push-up. Instead of pushing up from the floor, start in a standing position facing a wall with your hands on the wall at shoulder height. As you gain strength, you can bring your body closer and closer to horizontal: First move your hands from the wall to a tabletop, then to a chair seat, and finally to the floor.
If you are starting with deconditioned shoulders, be patient; it may take several weeks or even months to work your way to the floor. You can also gradually strengthen your rotator cuff with another exercise: going from Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog Pose) to Plank Pose (the "up" position in the push-up) and back again.
These transitions can be practiced with your hands on a table, a chair seat, or the floor, depending on how strong your shoulder muscles are. This work is wonderful conditioning not only for the rotator cuff but for the triceps muscle (on the back of the upper arm) and the pectoralis major (across the chest and the front of the shoulder) as well.
In almost all yoga postures with the arms forward, as in Plank, or overhead, as in Adho Mukha Svanasana, Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand), and Sirsasana, the shoulder is best stabilized with moderate external rotation. This will activate and strengthen the teres minor and infraspinatus. When you externally rotate in Plank, your elbow creases turn forward somewhat; in Sirsasana, your triceps face the same direction as your nose, not out to the side. Remember that the necessary external rotation is moderate: You are overdoing it if you feel strain in your elbows or if you can't keep the base of your thumb and index finger on the floor in Adho Mukha Svanasana or Plank.
As for the other rotator cuff muscles, the supraspinatus gets a good workout when you practice a long series of standing poses. Each time you take your arms from your sides up to shoulder height, the supraspinatus works and gets stronger. It's a little harder to be sure which yoga poses strengthen the subscapularis. For one thing, the muscle is hard to isolate; internal rotation of the shoulder is a complex movement that uses several different muscles.
For another, we simply don't internally rotate our shoulders all that often in yoga. Some of the positions in which we do internally rotate include the position of the arms in Parsvottanasana (Side Stretch Pose), that of the lower arm in Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose), and that of the arm that wraps around the knee in Marichyasana III (Pose Dedicated to the Sage Marichi III). You also internally rotate the shoulder when you reach both arms up, interlace the fingers, and stretch the palms up toward the ceiling.

Heads of Laboratories
Hironori Funabiki, Ph.D.
Tri-Institutional Associate Professor
Laboratory of Chromosome and Cell Biology
Faculty Bio
During mitosis, a full set of chromosomes must be equally distributed to the offspring of each dividing cell, and failure to do so can result in numerous disorders, including birth defects and tumor progression. The Funabiki lab studies how chromosomes signal to spatially and temporally orchestrate a precise series of mitotic events to ensure accurate chromosome segregation.
A mitotic cell undergoes a series of dramatic morphological changes, including chromosome condensation, spindle formation, chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. These events must occur at the right place, at the right time, in the right order. In particular, the Funabiki lab studies the following subjects.
Spatial control of chromosome-induced signals during mitosis. The Funabiki lab has demonstrated that mitosis-specific phosphorylation of histone H3, the major component of chromosomes, plays a key role in formation of the spindle, a cellular apparatus to segregate chromosomes. They have shown that Survivin, whose expression is implicated in cancer development, binds histone H3 that is phosphorylated at the threonine 3 residue (H3T3ph). This binding results in recruitment and activation of the kinase Aurora B, which leads to spindle assembly around chromosomes. At the end of mitosis, chromosomes must stop supporting the spindle assembly and initiate nuclear envelope assembly. This dramatic conversion of chromosome-assisted intracellular architecture is mediated in part by silencing the Aurora B activity on chromosomes. However, the nuclear envelope should not reform before completion of chromosome segregation, and thus the timing of this conversion must be accurately controlled. The Funabiki lab has shown that dephosphorylation of H3T3ph plays a key role in this process, and they are now studying how the activity of H3T3 kinase, Haspin, is regulated during the cell cycle. Furthermore, they have identified a novel chromatin-associated regulator of microtubule dynamics, which plays a critical role in controlling the proper size and shape of the nucleus. Through these studies, Dr. Funabiki aims to understand the mechanisms by which the precise order of events during mitosis is controlled by chromatin-induced signals.
Mechanical control that transduces microtubule attachment into the chemical signal to permit chromosome separation. In order to segregate chromosomes, microtubules must attach to the proteinaceous structure, the kinetochore, which is built on each centromere of chromosomes. Importantly, until all the kinetochores attach to microtubules in the right orientation, unattached kinetochores activate a signaling pathway called the "spindle assembly checkpoint" to delay sister chromatid separation and exit from mitosis. Collaborating with Rockefeller's Fred Cross, Dr. Funabiki discovered that the protein phosphatase 1 at the kinetochore is critical for silencing the checkpoint upon microtubule attachment. They aim to understand the mechanism by which phosphatase converts the microtubule attachment event into checkpoint silencing. In addition, using superresolution microscopy, they are studying how the three-dimensional architecture of the kinetochore is modulated by microtubule attachment status.
Roles of histone modifications during mitosis. Upon entry into mitosis, chromosomes show dramatic structural changes accompanied with histone phosphorylation. The functional significance of mitotic histone phosphorylation remains largely unclear. The Funabiki lab aims to develop a method to examine the role of histone modification using frog egg extracts.
Mechanisms that control the integrity of the centromeric repetitive DNA. The human centromere is composed of highly ordered repeats of alpha-satellite DNA. The Funabiki lab studies the molecular mechanisms that maintain size and order and the centromere's relevance to cancers.
Dr. Funabiki received his bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1990 and his Ph.D. in cell biology in 1995, both from Kyoto University in Japan. From 1996 until 2000 he worked as a postdoc in the physiology department at the University of California, San Francisco, and then at Harvard University as a postdoc in molecular and cellular biology. He came to Rockefeller as assistant professor and head of the Laboratory of Chromosome and Cell Biology in 2002 and was promoted to associate professor in 2007.
Dr. Funabiki received the Alexandrine and Alexander L. Sinsheimer Fund Scholar Award and the Irma T. Hirschl/Monique Weill-Caulier Trust Research Award in 2003. He received the Searle Scholar Award from the Chicago Community Trust in 2002. He was a special fellow of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society from 1999 to 2002 and a Leukemia and Lymphoma Society fellow from 1996 to 1999.

The Jacksonville University Dolphins will attempt to rebound from their season opening loss at The Citadel when they travel to
Western Illinois Saturday. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. EDT.
The game will be broadcast on 1010XL and 1010XL.com with Terry Norvelle and Joel Lamp calling the action live from Hanson Field in Macomb, Ill. The Bono's Barbeque Pregame Show will kickoff game coverage at 3:30 p.m.
JU (0-1) will be looking for more offense against the Leathernecks (0-1) after they netted only 186 yards with the ball in the 31-9 loss to The Citadel. JU led the FCS in offense last season.
Quarterback Josh McGregor completed 21 of 33 passes for 208 yards but was sacked five times and the Dolphins ended the game with minus 22 yards rushing. Meanwhile, The Citadel quarterback Ben Dupree scored twice as the Bulldogs ran for 439 yards.
The Bulldogs forced nine punts from JU punter freshman Garrett Mohr who resonded with a 43.2 average and included a 63 yarder, fifth longest in school history.
"We never got Josh comfortable because of the protection and from there they really turned it on us on defense,'' coach Kerwin Bell said.
Despite the loss, the Dolphins were able to receive votes in both The Sports Network and Coaches FCS polls this week as did Western Illinois.
The Leathernecks, who made it to the second round before losing to Appalachian State 21-14, lost their season opener to Sam Houston State 20-6.
Caulton Ray led the team in rushing with 53 yards on 14 carries while quarterback Josh Hudson completed 7 of 12 passes for 136 yards including a 92-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Terriun Crump.

For me it is a question of philosophy. Apple's core philosophy is most efficient at the moment of a paradigm shift, but gets less efficient the further we move away from it. As mobile is reaching maturity the need for strict curation is no longer as strong, and perhaps it's also true that it stifles innovation. Apple simply is not the kind of company that is going to produce all the crap that a samsung is willing to try, so there is inherently less innovation going on.
The other big issue is just a numbers one, as android continues to over take apple, other companies are going to start shifting development to an android first strategy. It will be an accounting decision and nothing more. What this means is the innovations that are not directly apple's, but which happen within the apple ecosystem, are going to be moving to another place.
If I were apple, I would be focusing on getting as open as possible. I'd start by licensing iOS to players like HTC and allowing them to have the bottom of the market. This way apple could protect their ecosystem from getting undercut. I would also allow for two classes of apps in the app store, verified and unverified, so that any innovation going on in the jailbroken community could be brought into the mainstream faster.
My worry for Apple is that we are slowly moving toward a world of ubiquitous computing. When You look at the cutting edge of consumer technology you see things like hue lights, nest thermostats, wiithings scales, nike fuel and the basis bands and such. This trend does not play to Apple's traditional strengths. The OS of the future is going to have to function as a conductor for all of these little connected devices.
Well that got a little rambling, but You get the idea

Apple will never and should never license out their software. iOS and OSX (yeah i'm lumping in OSX to make a point) should stay within Apple.
The OS needs to run smooth and that's why Apple need to control that. I'm sure android is great but stick it on the low end models and its pants.
What Apple need to do, which is going to be hard, is stay focused on what they are trying to achieve at Apple. Don't worry that Android Market share is growing. It was inevitable. You can get most Andorid phones free with a toaster or whatever so Apple was never going to hold onto the lead.
Stay working on integration with their existing product line. I love how my iPhone syncs with my Mac, iPad and Apple TV. Its for this reason I will never move away from iPhone.
Too many people are concerned about how the iPhone compares to other mobiles but should be concerned by how Apple will progress with their own integration.

I have the same view as Apple, if you don't like the product don't buy it I get fed up people constantly moaning about it
There are some things Apple do that annoy me but most of those things are business fueled & at the end of the day they are a business.
I have used Apple products for 15 years & will probably continue to do so for another 15

And their software devs have gotten real lazy as well after Snow Leopard's success. They realized they didn't need to reintroduce features (Time Machine) just make some enhancements and call it 200+ features. Lion came out, and they also started taking out some of the quirkiness of Mac OS X, now just called OS X. They got rid of the aqua scroll bars, iCal is now Calendar, etc. (No more intro video either!)
On top of it all, they are recycling the stale features of iOS into OS X.
At the VERY least, OS X is still not as big of a fragmented mess as Windows 8.
And now to rationalize it,
I like the new dictionary function, where it doesn't have to open up the app to give me a definition. Heck, windows doesn't even have a dictionary. I couldn't imagine doing school work on a Windows machine!

So yes, I think integration is the key, but I think that the trick for apple is to include other classes of products into that integration.
Coming back to the original theme, it is a matter apple's philosophy and whether it can be applied successfully to the coming paridigm shift toward ubiquity. As I view this shift, it's not a lone wolf defining what the technology is, as much as it is a conductor making sure every instrument works together to create a satisfying whole... or something like that.
Too much time today.

I think in a way they have.
They've drifted away from the desktop/laptop market in a way trying to lure in the iDevice users who only came to Apple because of said iDevices. And they focus more on iDevices than computers I'd say. But in a way who can blame them, iPods and now iPhones and iPads have made them millions upon millions in easy cash flow so who would want to mess with that?
But on the other hand their products work less and less for me as time goes on. They seem to be moving towards the closed ecosystem others speak of, integrating it all. You get the "best features and benefits" if you're using all Apple products together. You're only getting part of the experience if you only own some of the components. And this is glaringly true in Apple's laptops and desktops these days.
I need productive devices I can tweak and work with for my needs as they change. I have an older Macbook Pro but the newer OS X is even more rigid than previous versions. I tried iPhone and realized it's workflow and design did not work well for my needs. They're excluding some users while bringing in new users.

As an educator, don't you think that there are more important issues than worrying about the bottom line of a company (i.e. the terrible state of the education system, etc) ?

No matter the season, it's not any fun to get a cold or the flu. What's ironic is that our habits over the busy holiday season actually help us get sick.
Growing up can be awkward at times for just about anyone. For Stephanie Magness, of Saugus, it was particularly challenging.
In just three short weeks, roads will be closed and the Santa Clarita Valley will be taken over by runners. These are people have set a goal and, on Nov. 7, they'll try to accomplish it. Some will be completing a 5K, others a half marathon, and those who are really inspired will be running a full marathon.
It was 2007 and at age 40, Dawn Galbreath, of Saugus, had it all: happy marriage, healthy children, a successful career. She also had a lump in her breast.
When you have diabetes, you need to take certain steps to stay healthy. When your relative or loved one has the disease, you can take a lot of steps to help find a cure.
When you're paying attention to good nutrition, it's easy to spend a lot of time focusing on what not to eat - all the stuff that clogs your arteries and expands your waistline.
Blame it on Lady Gaga. Where Bette Davis eyes were once coveted by the masses, youngsters today are clamoring for the pop star's exaggerated anime-style peepers, as featured in her "Bad Romance" video.
Eat well. Move well. Think well.
Have you ever had one of those days? Of course you have. We all have them. The ones where nothing seems to go right. And that is just what many of us say on those days: "Nothing is going right today!" Now stop and think about this.
Fall is here, which means jeans season is back. Have your skinny jeans been taunting you from the back of your closet?
When it comes to inducing uncomfortable symptoms such as itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing and sinus pressure, allergies don't discriminate.
Living in Southern California, it's hard to miss the constant TV ads and billboards promoting various forms of surgical "cures" for the battle of the bulge. This has become big business. From lap banks to gastric bypass, we are being enticed to believe that this type of surgery can be just what you need to solve your weight and health-related issues.
Diabetes is a growing concern in our country. Nearly 81 million Americans - or one-in-four households - have diabetes or prediabetes, with a new case diagnosed every 20 seconds. While those statistics sound ominous, the good news is that this disease can be managed through diet, exercise, medication (if needed) and a strong support system.
Ah, summer. A season filled with vacations, trips to the ice cream shop with the kids, eating out more than usual and sipping margaritas while barbecuing burgers and snacking on chips and guacamole in the backyard.
Who are the patients at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital? They're your friends, neighbors and family members.

Here's a look at how the Packers' first-year players are faring through four games:
OT Bryan Bulaga (first round): Bulaga was a nonfactor on the Packers' offensive line against the Lions in Week Four, as Chad Clifton held up the entire game at left tackle and came through with his best effort this season. Bulaga did see action on special teams, switching to right tackle after the Bears blocked a field goal in Week Three with him at right guard.
DE Mike Neal (second round): Neal made his pro debut after missing the first three games with injured ribs and made his presence felt, forcing a fumble by Lions RB Jahvid Best and registering two pressures. He primarily played right end when the Packers were in their 3-4 base.
SS Morgan Burnett (third round): The promising rookie's season grounded to an abrupt halt when he suffered a torn ACL in the second quarter. The early prognosis is that he will make a complete recovery. The Packers might have to scramble at strong safety for a while without him and compensate with creative alignments until veteran Atari Bigby comes off the physically-unable-to-perform list and hopefully is able to take over the starting job quickly.
TE Andrew Quarless (fifth round): Quarless was used on the first play of scrimmage in Week Four, which was enough to qualify as his first official start at the pro level. But beyond that play, he was a nonfactor against the Lions.
OG Marshall Newhouse (fifth round): Newhouse was once again on the inactive list and remains an emergency insurance policy for the offensive line.
RB James Starks (sixth round): After missing all of training camp with a hamstring injury, Starks isn't eligible to come off the PUP list until Oct. 18.
DE C.J. Wilson (seventh round): As was the case in Week Three against the Bears, Wilson was activated against Detroit but did not show up on the game's final defensive statistics.
Undrafted rookies:
OLB Frank Zombo: Zombo made his second straight start, but at left outside linebacker instead of right outside linebacker. He had three tackles and one QB hurry, but he was not as effective setting the edge as fellow OLBs Brady Poppinga and Brad Jones.
CB Sam Shields: Shields was on the inactive list in Week Four with a calf injury.
TE Tom Crabtree: Crabtree saw action at both tight end and on special teams and delivered some decent blocks. But he had no offensive or special-teams numbers.
RB Dimtri Nance: The ex-Falcon was active for the Lions game after being inactive the previous week, but he made no offensive contributions.
