Teaching Science as a Cultural Way of Knowing: Merging Authentic Inquiry, Nature of Science, and Multicultural Strategies
Meyer, Xenia; Crawford, Barbara A. – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2011
Due to the growing number of students from populations underrepresented in the sciences, there is an intensified need to consider alternatives to traditional science instruction. Inquiry-based instructional approaches provide promise and possibility for engaging underrepresented students in the activities of science. However, inquiry-based…

Question: While officiating a game this past weekend I assessed a minor penalty and then proceeded to assess an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty to the same player for slamming and throwing his stick into the penalty box. Later, I was told by the coach that I can't call that as an Unsportsmanlike minor and I should have given him misconduct. Was my original call correct?
Answer: Situation #3 on Page 197 in the USA Hockey Casebook states,
"What is the proper sequence of penalties to be assessed to a player who continues to verbally abuse an Official or who persists in disputing a call?
Minor, misconduct, game misconduct, warning to the Captain, bench minor penalty.
Rule References 601(a.1, c.1 and e.1) and 633(a)."
If the behavior is in response to a call, the proper call is a minor penalty for Unsportsmanlike Conduct. Otherwise, a Misconduct penalty must be assessed.
Question: A player from Team A shot the puck in the air from their defending zone resulting in the Back Official indicating Icing. While the puck was in the air traveling down the ice, a player from Team B deflected the puck with a high stick. The puck traveled down the ice and crossed the Team B goal line. Would the Team B player's actions nullify the Icing?
Answer: In this situation the actions of the Team B player (high sticking the puck) would nullify the icing. Therefore the icing would be waived and play would continue with a "potential" high sticking call again Team B.
Question: While one player was at the bench but not off the ice, the player replacing him played the puck. Could any of the six players involved (including the player leaving the ice) serve the Bench Minor?
Answer: All six players are eligible to serve the bench minor for Too Many Players.
Question: An attacking player plays the puck with his hand in the attacking zone. A defending player can play the puck first but decides he does not want to. Eventually players come together but neither team wants to play the puck. If neither team plays the puck should the official stop play, and if so where should the face-off be located?
Answer: If the non-offending team refuses to play the puck and nullify the hand-pass then play should be stopped and the face-off would be located in the neutral zone. The non-offending team is not obligated to play the puck.
Question: One player on Team A receives one minor penalty, and another player on Team A receives a double minor penalty simultaneously (play is now 5 v. 3). One minute into the power-play Team B scores. Which penalty expires?
Answer: Team A would have "Captains Choice" as to whether they wish to continue 5 v. 3 for one minute (then 5 v. 4 for one), or 5 v. 4 for three minutes.
Tag(s): Ask the Official

Reynolds Named First Team Associated Press All-American
March 29, 2010
Villanova's Scottie Reynolds, who closed his college career as his school's No. 2 all-time scorer, has been named a first team All-American by the Associated Press, it was announced today.
Kentucky's John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins were also on the All-America team announced Monday. Joining them were Ohio State junior Evan Turner, who received all but one first-team vote and Syracuse junior Wes Johnson along with Reynolds.
After a year without any freshmen being honored, Wall and Cousins moved in as the ninth set of teammates to be selected and the first since Duke's J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams in 2006.
"This means a lot to both of us. I'm surprised and glad we both made it," said the 6-foot-4 Wall, who averaged 16.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists after arriving as one of the most highly touted high school recruits. "We had to learn a lot as freshmen and we were able to help our teammates along the way. This means a lot to both of us."
The 6-11 Cousins became one of the country's top big men and was the only player selected to the team who averaged a double-double with 15.3 points and 10.1 rebounds.
They helped the Wildcats reach No. 1 for one week in a season they were no lower than fifth in any poll.
Turner, the 6-7 point guard considered one of the best all-around players in recent years, received all but one first-team vote from the 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25.
Wall received 62 votes, while Johnson had 45, Reynolds 32 and Cousins 26 in voting conducted before the NCAA tournament.
Turner missed six games after breaking bones in his back when he fell after a dunk in December. The Buckeyes went .500 without him and then went on to the Big Ten title when he returned.
Johnson burst onto the national scene in his first season with the Orange after transferring from Iowa State. The 6-7 forward averaged 16.0 points and 8.4 rebounds in leading Syracuse to its first No. 1 ranking since 1990.
The 6-2 Reynolds averaged 18.5 points and shot 40 percent from 3-point range in becoming the Wildcats' go-to player with several spectacular second-half efforts.
"You go through a season not expecting to get All-American," Reynolds said. "You just go out there every day and try and do the best you can, try and play Villanova basketball. It's in the back of your head, but if you concentrate on that, that stuff will never come."
Wall and Cousins were Kentucky's first All-Americans since Ron Mercer in 1997. The other schools have all had players selected in the last five years: Hakim Warrick of Syracuse in 2005, Randy Foye of Villanova in 2006 and Oden in 2007.
James Anderson of Oklahoma State was sixth in the balloting with 27 votes and was joined on the second team by Sherron Collins of Kansas, Greivis Vasquez of Maryland, Jon Scheyer of Duke and Da'Sean Butler of West Virginia.
The third team was Greg Monroe of Georgetown, Cole Aldrich of Kansas, Damion James of Texas, Luke Harangody of Notre Dame and Darington Hobson of New Mexico.

A new study by a physician from the IMSS clinic, UMF 24, San Felipe Baja California, found that by putting a group of North Americans on a diet rich in whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables and nuts and changing their intake of animal products, they were able to lower their total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol significantly, this without using drugs to lower cholesterol. In fact not only was there an improvement in blood lipids but participants reported increased energy, improved sleep quality, decreased blood pressure and lost 8.6 lbs on average (3.9 kilos), this in a period of two weeks.
The new study, was done by Dr. Eddie Ramirez Diaz, a native of Ensenada. Which has 16 years of experience in various lifestyle centers in North America, Europe and Africa. The study took place from December 5 to December 19, 2011. It was a free program open to the foreign community of San Felipe. Participants paid only their blood tests before and after the study.
The new study, "is a step forward, showing the importance of lifestyle changes to combat a large number of health problems affecting the people that live in our community," said Dr. Ramirez.
In the study, a group of more than 20 Americans who live or spend the winter in San Felipe participated. As a group on average the initial cholesterol was 232 points (which is high) and the LDL (bad) cholesterol was on average 158.7 points (which is also high).
Participants met twice a week for advice and encourage, they were provided with cookbooks and information to understand why they were making the changes.
Laboratory results showed that on average cholesterol went down 59 points, triglycerides dropped 22 points and LDL (bad) cholesterol (LDL) went down 39 points. Many had dramatic changes like a participant who had a reduction of 112 points in her triglycerides and her cholesterol went down 118 points together with her LDL cholesterol which decreased 85 points.
This study shows the potential value of lifestyle changes to reduce blood lipids and thus reduce a large range of pathologies.
Dr. Ramirez is planning another free program open to the entire community which will begin on January 16, 2012. For more information call Dr. Ramirez at 686-133-6046.

USDA announces completion of shotgun sequencing of the wheat genom
In Washington, the USDA announced that scientists working as part of an international team have completed a shotgun sequencing of the wheat genome, a paper published in the journal Nature reported today. The achievement is expected to increase wheat yields, help feed the world and speed up development of wheat varieties with enhanced nutritional value. The work to complete the shotgun sequencing of the wheat genome will help to improve programs on breeding and adaptation in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa for wheat crops that could be drought tolerant and resistant to weeds, pests and diseases.

The Association of Divorce Financial Planners is expecting record attendance for its ninth annual conference.
Allied divorce professionals, judges, mediators, attorneys, divorce financial practitioners, paralegals, therapists, insurance agents and other financial professionals will convene as the newly expanded ADFP addresses various financial issues as they pertain to divorce.
"In recent years, we've expanded our chapters across the U.S., including California, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Tennessee," said Lili Vasileff, president of the ADFP. "Chapters in the Pacific Northwest, the greater Boston area and elsewhere are also under development. This year, we've chosen the ideal location where all these professionals can come together to harvest ideas from the leaders in divorce financial planning: the world-class Doral Arrowwood Resort."
The conference will cover ethics issues, creating new revenue streams post-divorce, tax issues, estate planning, retirement plans and more.
Finances play a major role in divorce happenings with a recent poll taken on Dollars of Divorce's website finding 89 percent of all respondents claiming to lack confidence with their finances moving forward following a divorce.

For another $250K or so, vehicular quad gates could be installed on Watkins Ave. and with the existing quad gates at Fair Oaks, and the grade separation at 5th Ave., a quiet zone could be established through most of town.

What do quad gates do to make Atherton safer for bicyclists and pedestrians? That's a totally different subject.
This is long overdue. I am encouraged to see Atherton being a good neighbor and making it easier for people to walk and bike through town. I wish this plan included some proper sidewalks on Middlefield so that kids could walk to Encinal more safely.
on Apr 18, 2014 at 9:23 am
At the town council meeting on wednesday, the chief of the menlo park fire department made it abundantly clear that the plan could make it difficult, if not impossible, for fire trucks to arrive where needed when el camino, middlefield and the alameda are shrunken for bicycle lanes. just a thought.Eb

"At the town council meeting on wednesday, the chief of the menlo park fire department .."
Actually I made those comments as an elected Director of the Fire District (after consultation with the Fire Chief and the Board President) and as the designated Fire Board liaison to the Town Council.
There are 5 fire stations serving Atherton (only one of them IN Atherton) and all of them must travel north and south on ECR, the Alameda or Middlefield to access Atherton. Restricting traffic on ECR will also force traffic to the Alameda and Middlefield and then all three access route for fire engines to Atherton will be compromised. A much better solution would be more traffic signals on ECR and equipping every traffic light with emergency vehicle preemptors (which automatically turn the lights green as an emergency vehicle approaches.
on Apr 18, 2014 at 4:26 pm
There are 2 lanes of El Camino Traffic in Redwood City and Menlo Park. It is only the Atherton section that has 3. Why?
Why is the Fire District able to provide adequate services in those municipalities with only 2 lanes, but not Atherton if it reduces the lanes?
Would the fire department have fewer severe accident calls if El Camino Traffic weren't able to travel at 50MPH due to congestion?
It seems to me the Fire department is throwing up barriers but deals with this same issue elsewhere without a problem.
on Apr 18, 2014 at 5:22 pm

ECR in the portion of ECR south of Highway 84 that is served by MPFPD is 6 lanes and .
Most of ECR in Menlo Park is 6 lanes.
The best way to slow traffic is to enforce the speed limits not create barriers to emergency response vehicles.
on Apr 18, 2014 at 5:57 pm
The biggest barrier to emergency response vehicles is private cars parked along the side of the street. They block visibility and take up valuable space. Replacing on-street car parking with bike lanes is an obvious fix. Bicyclists can easily get off the street when they hear a siren behind them.
I do not believe claims that making streets safer for pedestrians and bicyclists makes them more difficult for emergency services. Even the complaint about crosswalk bulb-outs has been debunked by San Francisco traffic engineers.

"I do not believe claims that making streets safer for pedestrians and bicyclists makes them more difficult for emergency services."
You may not believe it but it is true - just watch fire engines trying to respond on Marsh or Willow.
"Even the complaint about crosswalk bulb-outs has been debunked by San Francisco traffic engineers." Please document that claim - I doubt it.
The best solution for ECR is more traffic signals on ECR and equipping every traffic light with emergency vehicle preemptors (which automatically turn the lights green as an emergency vehicle approaches and better speed enforcement.
Don't handicap your first responders - you may well be the one to suffers from a delayed response.
on Apr 21, 2014 at 12:50 pm
How have they dealt with this in other places, like Copenhagen, Amsterdam and likely places in the US?
Regarding safety - why not have the municipalities or Boy Scouts or some outfit paint the bike lanes a green as Portola Valley has in some places? I don't even think most people around here know the difference between a solid and broken line on the streets, as I always see people disregarding them, with or without cyclists around. Why not have our local media or a bike coalition organization put word out about this, so everyone knows?
There is no longer going to be "smooth" traffic throughout Menlo and other local towns. There's too much traffic of all kinds and too many people driving while stressed out and in a hurry. But many are also trying to work together, making eye contact, obeying speed limits and stop signs/signals. Again, have there been solutions from other communities that work, that we could consider?

"How have they dealt with this in other places, like Copenhagen, Amsterdam and likely places in the US?"
I just returned from Copenhagen - very impressive bike infrastructure. They have totally separated bike lanes with separate traffic signals. Bikes and cars generally do not share the same space. Lots of free bike parking spaces.

I've got extensive experience in the area with bicycle issues, including with the short-lived San Carlos bicycle committee and with Western Wheelers Bicycle Club, and a lot more.
The absolutely best way to deal with bicycle and pedestrian issues is to follow the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. It is very well thought-out, and safety-oriented -- and Caltrans are the experts!
Dangerous designs happen when local jurisdictions (usually listening to contractors) think that they know more than Caltrans...

Here is the link to the Caltrans Manual - it is a very big file:
Web Link
on Apr 21, 2014 at 5:02 pm
While it is a very important document, the Caltrans Highway Design Manual probably does not include the latest guidelines about bicycle infrastructure.
According to the April 17, 2014 e-Bulletin of the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, "In an announcement last week, Caltrans declared California the third state in the nation to officially endorse the NACTO Urban Street Design Guide and Urban Bikeway Design Guide! This means that cities will now be able to implement innovative bicycle infrastructure without going through the Caltrans design exception process."
Here is a link to the NACTO "Urban Bikeway Design Guide":
Web Link
According to that NACTO website, "The NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide is based on the experience of the best cycling cities in the world."
And here is a link to the NACTO "Urban Street Design Guide":
Web Link
According to that NACTO website, "the Guide unveils the toolbox and the tactics cities use to make streets safer, more livable, and more economically vibrant."

"The apse of the Combray church; what can one say about it? It was so crude, so lacking in artistic beauty and even religious spirit. From outside, because the crossroads which it commanded was on a lower level, its crude wall rose up from a subbasement of quite unpolished ashlar, bristling with flints, and having nothing particularly ecclesiastical about it, the windows seemed to have been pierced at an excessive height, and the whole looked more like the wall of a prison than the wall of a church. And certainly, later, when I recalled all the glorious apses I had seen, it would never have occurred to me to compare them with the apse of Combray. But, one day, at the bend of a little street in a country town, I noticed, opposite the crossing of three lanes, a rough and unusually high wall with windows pierced far above and the same asymmetrical appearance as the apse of Combray. Then I did not ask myself as at Chartres or Rheims how powerfully it expressed religious feeling, but involuntarily exclaimed: "The church!""

Purdue controls second half, drops Penn State
The Boilermakers (12-11) struggled through shooting woes, going 0 for 10 on 3-pointers and shooting 40.8 percent (20 of 49) overall. But it was considerably better than Penn State's 19-of-62 (30.6 percent) performance.
Combined, the two teams were 2 for 30 from 3-point range.

FINAL: Purdue used stingy defense to defeat Penn State 58-49 on Tuesday at the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park. Purdue (12-11) held Penn State (8-14) to 31 percent shooting from the field. A.J. Hammons had a big performance for the Boilermakers, with 15 points and 12 rebounds, his second straight double-double. The Boilermakers trailed 21-12 in the first, but a 19-5 run allowed them to take a five-point lead with 16:27 in the game. Donnie Hale stuffed the statsheet for the Boilermakers with a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double. Purdue also got a double-digit contribution from Ronnie Johnson (16 points). D.J. Newbill scored 17 points, hauled in three rebounds, and contributed seven assists for the Nittany Lions in the game.
HALFTIME: Purdue closed the first half on a 12-4 run to cut the Penn State lead to one, 25-24, at halftime. The Nittany Lions had nine offensive rebounds in the first half and racked up seven assists on 11 baskets. Sasa Borovnjak led seven Penn State scorers with six points. Brandon Taylor added five points and five rebounds for the Nittany Lions. A.J. Hammons and Donnie Hale each scored six points to pace Purdue, which received only two points from leading scorer Terone Johnson (12.7). The Boilermakers missed all eight of their 3-point attempts but hit 53 percent (9-of-17) on two-point shots. Neither team shot well from the field, with Purdue going 36 percent and Penn State at 32 percent.
#PennState up 21-12, its largest lead in #B1G this year. Previous best: 7 at Iowa & vs. Nebraska.—

Peregrine Honig, one of the busy bees of West 18th Street, is among the 14 people -- Bravo calls them "aspiring artists" -- competing on the cable network's new reality show Work of Art: The Next Great Artist.
Which is funny, considering Honig is already an artist, and a very established one at that: she is the youngest living artist to have work included in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art.
But back to the show. Honig and her 13 co-competitors will undergo scrutiny from gallery owner Bill Powers, New York Magazine art critic Jerry Saltz, Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn (who curates and owns the gallery Salon94) and art auctioneer Simon de Pury. The whole shebang is co-produced by the Bravo peeps who helped create Project Runway and by Sarah Jessica Parker's production company, Pretty Matches.
The winners will be the artists who have "successfully mastered the subject matter and creation of their piece, as well as whose concept leaves the greatest impact," according to Bravo's website. The delightfully vague prize: "a solo show at a nationally recognized museum and a generous cash prize."
The Brick, at 1727 McGee, will be hosting weekly watch parties on Wednesdays at 10 p.m., when the show airs. The premiere is next Wednesday, June 9.

"But it happened again. The No-Names beat the Big Names. The Bills were the tougher, smarter, more resourceful and, oh yes, the better team in a 31-24 victory over Philly. That's two home wins in three weeks against presumed Super Bowl contenders. Maybe it's time to stop dwelling on their flaws and concede that they have legitimate playoff possibilities."

Barnett cashes in daily double for Bills - The Buffalo News
"It's been three full seasons since Nick Barnett had an interception and even longer since he last scored a touchdown.

Eagles commit five turnovers in loss to Buffalo Bills - mcall.com

No turnaround for Eagles after losing 5 turnovers - pressofAtlanticCity.com
"Reid's football team is struggling. Four straight defeats - the team's longest skid since it also lost four in a row in 2005 - dropped the Eagles to 1-4 for the first time since 1999, which was Reid's first season as their coach."
After loss to Bills, it's time to admit Eagles just aren't that good – SI
"What's really left to say about the 2011 Philadelphia Eagles. On paper, there's no way this is a 1-4 team. It's certainly not a team that should have three fewer wins than the Bills, who held off Philly Sunday in an exciting 31-24 game."
CANOE -- SLAM! Sports - NFL Games: Bills: Under-the-radar love

Turnovers and penalties are devastating the Eagles, but who is at fault? | Philadelphia Inquirer

Eagles Parker convinced Bills would run on fourth down | Philadelphia Inquirer
"Juqua Parker has been in the NFL for 11 years, more than any other Eagle. So it stands to reason that the defensive end would realize that the Bills, after trying one hard count on fourth and 1 with the game on the line, were not going to actually run a play. Except Parker said he thought they were, and he jumped offside, giving Buffalo a first down with 1 minute, 23 seconds left Sunday and effectively sealing the Eagles' fourth straight loss."

"Four interceptions of Vick, including linebacker Nick Barnett's second of the game on a breakup by Bills cornerback Drayton Florence just after the two-minute warning, highlighted a five-turnover day by a Buffalo squad that entered the day tied for third in the NFL in takeaways at plus 7."
Jackson, Bills 'D' hand Eagles another loss - sportsnet.ca
"This game was very different than anything the Bills have experienced this season. This wasn't a blowout like their win over the Chiefs or a dramatic comeback like their wins over the Raiders and the Patriots. This was a true gut check win were the Bills needed big plays from both sides of the ball to hold off a desperate charge from Vick and the Eagles."
Eagles fall to 1-4 after loss to Buffalo Bills, who are a surprising 4-1 - NY Daily News
"There were two ongoing stories here Sunday. How good the Bills are. How bad the Eagles are. Make that three stories. How really bad the Eagles are."

On how to have fun:
Why follow the masses to the big multi-screen complexes to see the new "Man of Steel" Superman flick?
Instead, add a little adventure to your movie viewing and head for the San Jacinto Mountains.
The Rustic Theatre in Idyllwild doesn't muddle along with a schedule of show tired, old films. The place is much more interesting than that.
The theater, which in many ways is a community center for the art-and-wilderness village high above Hemet and Banning, offers a wide range of entertainment, from blockbusters like "Man of Steel" to independent films to improv comedy nights..
The theater managed to book the latest Superman blockbuster and even planned a Super Hero party before the 12:01 a.m. Friday debut. Make it a full night with dinner at a fun Idyllwild restaurant like Cafe Aroma for fine and zany dining or bargain 99-cent tacos at La Casita Mexican Restaurant on Monday and Thursday nights.

Thomasville- It's back to school in Thomasville. For some students, it means more rigorous schedules and a new way of learning. Sixth grade students attending Thomasville's new Scholars Academy could eventually graduate with an associates degree from Thomas University.
Police on patrol, nervous and excited students, a normal start to school in Thomasville, but a different experience for new Scholars Academy students.
"We've had our normal, Do I have an extra copy of the schedule? Things going on and what is my first period class?" questioned Dr. Dale Graham, Scholars Academy Director.
Students quickly learned how different this year will be. Students will learn two languages before graduation.
"That's an immersion, make them hear the Spanish that way they're not always depending on the translation," said Graham.
What makes this school a little different is the lessons being taught inside the scholar academy classrooms.
"When you walked in the door today, that's who you became, you became an astronaut," said Teacher Dana Miller to her class.
"We are able to extend and enrich that curriculum, we're able to be creative and flexible in our teaching methods and styles," continued Miller.
It's a rigorous schedule, 7 classes instead of 6. A math and science emphasis plus hands on lessons and field trips and a stronger emphasis on college.
"We start talking about college in the sixth grade, not 11th or 12th but sixth grade where they can start thinking about what they want to do," said Graham.
Students can get college credit by examination or dual enroll in Thomas University. Ambitious students can graduate with an associate degree. On the first day, expectations are high.
"As long as you see that excitement and that anticipation you know it's going to be a good year," said Graham.
Student participating in the Scholars Academy can also participate in extracurricular activities and must complete 20 hours of community service each school year. The academy includes students in grades six through 12.

Why It's Time To Re-Think The Corporate Intranet And Embrace "The Intranet Of Everywhere"
When was the last time you contributed anything to your intranet? Or managed to find what you were looking for? If you can't remember, you're not alone. A 2013 Worldwide Intranet Challenge survey suggests that 90% of staff don't regularly contribute to their corporate intranet, and 50% never do. And it's not that people don't want to share; they've merely found another system that is easier to use, or has features they personally prefer.

What the Web hides from us
The Net hides our physical being. Online all we get are some words or images. Worse, frequently those words and images have no context beyond themselves. When you are with someone in physical space, you cannot avoid the fact that the person is a complete being who is literally coming from somewhere and will be going somewhere else.

Earlier this year the Kansas Senate confirmed former State Representative Lana Gordon as the new Kansas Secretary of Labor. Gordon was chosen by Brownback to replace the former Secretary, Karin Brownlee, who you may have read a lot about last year on our site.
No one really knows the true reason for Brownback dismissing Brownlee from her post, but it is widely rumored it is because of Brownlee's hostile relation with organized labor and pro-worker groups in Kansas (including this one).
It is also widely rumored that Gordon was Brownback's pick because he wanted the Kansas Department of Labor to get along with these groups that Brownlee had issues with, and Gordon was viewed as best choice for the task at hand.
Unfortunately for Brownback it isn't (totally) the personalities of his appointments that organized labor and pro-worker groups take issue with, it's the policy that they are attempting to spearhead through the Kansas Legislature.
When Gordon took over she claimed to be pro-worker, and that she was different than Brownlee. However her actions have quickly shown us that she is no different than the previous Secretary.
Gordon, much like her predecesor, has continued to carry water for the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and anti-worker extremists by supporting drastic changes to the current Unemployment Insurance laws, Worker's Compensation laws, and once again attempting last year's failed court packing scheme.
All of these measures supported by Gordon and her anti-worker buddies at the Kansas Chamber of Commerce do nothing more than push back workers' rights in Kansas and stack the deck against working families.

Man arrested for stealing 2 puppies from adoption center
Lexington County Sheriff's Department deputies on Friday, August 9 arrested a 20-year-old West Columbia man on charges that man the stole two black puppies from an animal adoption center on Orchard Drive near West Columbia on August 9.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts said Lester Antonio Mayorga, 20, of 129 Villa Court, West Columbia was arrested on a charges of petit larceny.
An incident report alleges that at about 2:30 p.m. on August 9 Mayorga entered the animal adoption center Pets, Inc. at 300 Orchard Drive and illegally removed two black puppies, Metts said. Mayorga left the animal adoption center without making arrangements to adopt the puppies and pay the adoption fees. Statements from witnesses and surveillance camera video substantiated that Mayorga stole the puppy from the animal adoption center.
The puppies were returned to the Pets, Inc. animal adoption center within a few hours of the incident, Metts said.
Lexington County Sheriff's Department deputies were able to locate Mayorga at his home on Villa Court by referencing a license plate number of the vehicle that he was driving collected by eyewitnesses at the time of the incident.
Metts asked anyone with information concerning the improper removal of the two puppies from the animal adoption center to contact the Lexington County Sheriff's Department at (803) 785-8230 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC. Citizens also can provide information anonymously by accessing the Crime Tip link on the Sheriff's Department web site (www.lexingtonsheriff.com).

Postsynaptic protein kinase a reduces neuronal excitability in response to increased synaptic excitation in the Drosophila CNS
Baines, Richard A.. (2003) Postsynaptic protein kinase a reduces neuronal excitability in response to increased synaptic excitation in the Drosophila CNS. Journal of Neuroscience, Vol.23 (No.25). pp. 8664-8672. ISSN 0270-6474

Previous work has identified a role for synaptic activity in the development of excitable properties of motoneurons in the Drosophila embryo. In this study the underlying mechanism that enables two such neurons, termed aCC and RP2, to respond to increased exposure to synaptic excitation is characterized. Synaptic excitation is increased in genetic backgrounds that lack either a cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (EC:3.1.4, dunce) or acetylcholinesterase (EC:220.127.116.11, ace), the enzyme that terminates the endogenous cholinergic excitation of these motoneurons. Analysis of membrane excitability in aCC/RP2, in either background, shows that these neurons have a significantly reduced capability to fire action potentials (APs) in response to injection of depolarizing current. Analysis of underlying voltage-gated currents show that this effect is associated with a marked reduction in magnitude of the voltage-dependent inward Na+ current (INa). Partially blocking INa in these motoneurons, using low concentrations of TTX, demonstrates that a reduction of INa is, by itself, sufficient to reduce membrane excitability. An analysis of firing implicates an increased AP threshold to underlie the reduction in membrane excitability observed because of heightened exposure to synaptic excitation. Genetic or pharmacological manipulations that either elevate cAMP or increase protein kinase A (PKA) activity in wild-type aCC/RP2 mimic both the reductions in membrane excitability and INa. In comparison, increasing cAMP catabolism or inhibition of PKA activity is sufficient to block the induction of these activity-dependent changes. The induced changes in excitability can be rapid, occurring within 5 min of exposure to a membrane-permeable cAMP analog, indicative that threshold can be regulated in these neurons by a post-translational mechanism that is dependent on phosphorylation.

Lawton_ Larry Russell, a Lawton man who was caught by his own robbery victim, has been sentenced to seven years in prison.
Prosecutors say that back in March, he and his girlfriend broke into an apartment in southwest Lawton. Once inside, they demanded money from the victim at gunpoint.
Two weeks later, the victim saw the pair shopping at Wal-mart on Sheridan Road. The victim called the police, who then arrested the couple.
A judge convicted Russell on second-degree robbery charges.

Time to Shear the Sheep
- Joshua M Brown
- February 19th, 2013
Two different friends of mine on the wealth management side of Morgan Stanley forwarded this DealBook link to me overnight. One of them said "Oh boy…"
Morgan Stanley wants to see its brokers and advisors (many of them legacy Smith Barney) work more closely with the banking and capital markets side of them firm to increase profitability. In English, that means a lot more products and cross-selling. High fee stuff, complicated stuff, structured stuff, sticky stuff, stuff sold as "exclusive" or proprietary etc.
In Australia, they call this Sheep Shearing Season. James Gorman made a big bet when he bought Smith Barney and doubled down on brokerage. Now its time to monetize those assets and that expanded sales force.
Time to collect the wool from the flock they've tended all winter.
Here's DealBook:
Traditionally, traders and investment bankers think of themselves as the elite of Wall Street and look down on the retail business, seeing it as pedestrian. Yet Mr. Kelleher had a message for the branch managers: His group can work with retail brokers to increase profits at Morgan Stanley…
James P. Gorman, the chief executive of Morgan Stanley, is hoping that its sales and trading unit will work more closely with wealth management to increase lending, better tailor structured products for retail clients and improve collaboration on events like public offerings, company insiders said.
Morgan advisors need only ask their colleagues at Bank of America Merrill Lynch how they're enjoying this tighter relationship between banking and private wealth.
When brokerage veterans hear the home office talking about "increasing profits" they know exactly where that increase is coming out of – their clients' accounts.

Tunnel Vision is one of the most fun, unique, moderate routes that Red Rocks has to offer. It climbs up the Angel Food Wall in 6 pitches. A lot of chimneys are encountered, and even a vertical spelunking pitch. Identify the start of Tunnel Vision by a crack which intersects a roof only 15' off the ground.
Standard Rack, some large pieces are helpful. The gear is plentiful except for the mostly unprotectable tunnel pitch.

Lubbock Police are searching for a suspect in a rash of hotel-motel robberies. Police believe one man is responsible for robbing at least six hotels and motels in Lubbock.
The Ramada Inn on Interstate-27 was hit twice, both Days Inn's were robbed, along with the Holiday Inn on the South Loop and the Courtyard by Marriot. In each case, the manner of the robbery and the suspect's description were similar, leading police to believe they may all be connected.
Police say this is the time of year for crime to rise, burglaries, robberies and thefts generally increase around the holidays so they want everyone to be aware. "Property crimes of all nature go up around the holidays as people are trying to come across money for their holidays and unfortunately some people try to get it by robberies and burglaries and things. So practice common sense, that's what we're asking everyone to do," says LPD Public Information Officer Roy Bassett.
Officer Bassett says if you are ever put in this type of situation remember to remain calm, and cooperate with the demands. Hotel Motel Association President Anthony Garcia says they are reminding all hotels in the area to refresh employees on their policies. "We are sending out faxes and emails to everyone letting them know what we are up against and that if there is anything we can do to help", Anthony Garcia said.
As for security... "Different hotels have different security in place, some hotels are actually using private security companies to monitor. We at my hotel have security cameras that are up 24 hours a day all over the property. So if we do have someone that is even casing the joint we can obviously provide police with car descriptions and license plates," says Garcia.
On the flip side, Garcia adds, hotels don't have too much to offer. "We are primarily a credit card business, we very rarely have cash on hand, and it's nominal at most of the hotels. So these thieves are not getting away with much for all the trouble they are going to take on once they are caught."
In these recent robberies the suspect has had a weapon, in some instances he showed the gun, in others he warned he had one.
The suspect is described as a white man, 30 to 50-years-old, about 6 foot 2 and 170 pounds. Police believe he is altering his appearance.
If you have any information you are urged to call Crime Line at (806) 741-1000. Police say they are following several leads at this time.

The bodhisattva vow is further commitment to put others before oneself and to work wholeheartedly for their benefit. The basis of this vow is the aspiration to develop friendliness, compassion and genuine insight through the practice of the six paramitas and to undertake the view and practice of mahayana. (Having taken the refuge vow is a prerequisite for taking the bodhisattva vow.)
Individuals wishing to take this vow should meet with their Meditation Instructor about this decision and study the Bodhisattva vow sourcebook (available from Samadhi Cushions (http://www.samadhicushions.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=sourcebook).
Please also read the chapter "Bodhisattva Vow" in Chogyam Trungpa's Heart of the Buddha.

Hello Citizens,
I have a pair of lower bowl (section 215) tickets for this Wednesday game against the Knicks. I'm a season ticket holder and unfortunately I have work that day and won't able to attend.
Although the Knicks aren't doing particularly well, however you'll get a chance to see Carmelo, Iman Shumpert and Co. Or I guess you can take a closer look at why the Knicks are SO BAD. *Bargnani
I'm looking for a buyer for these tickets and am selling them UNDER Stubhub's prices. I only have a little less than a day left to sell these so please let me know if you're interested!
Feel free to text me anytime: 626-297-1271. (tell me you're from Clipsnation)
Tickets are first come first serve, OBO.

Is New York the Next US State to Legalize Marijuana?
This week New York Senator Liz Krueger and Assembly Health Committee Chairman Richard Gottfried announced that they will introduce legislation to regulate, tax and legalize marijuana for adults in their state. If successfully passed, the law would allow those who are eighteen and older to possess up to two ounces of weed for personal use and grow up to six plants; citizens who are at least 21 would also be allowed purchase pot in retail locations.
At a press conference held on Wednesday, Senator Krueger said that while alcohol use and smoking tobacco are proven to be much more damaging to our health, these substances remain legal and regulated, so it seems very sensible to treat marijuana, which is much less harmful, in the same manner:
"I don't believe a drug that is proven to be less dangerous, from a health perspective, than alcohol or tobacco should be under laws that actually criminalize and ruin lives when alcohol or tobacco are regulated and taxed."
The Manhattan Democrat explained why these pot reforms are much-needed, as well as the many ways that the current cannabis prohibition policies have failed miserably:
"The illegal marijuana economy is alive and well, and our unjust laws are branding nonviolent New Yorkers, especially young adults, as criminals, creating a vicious cycle that ruins lives and needlessly wastes taxpayer dollars…We're spending taxpayer money to ruin lives, disproportionately for those from communities of color, with no real public policy goal to be found in any of it."
Legal Weed Movement Grows
These sensible policy changes echo other cannabis reforms that have already been happening around the nation and the world; marijuana is already legal in Washington and Colorado, and Uruguay just became the first modern country to create a legal nationwide pot business. And legal weed would undoubtedly be most welcome by most New Yorkers, as it is the state which, according to the ACLU, arrests many more of its residents for pot possession than any other region in our nation.
