WHEN KYLE RANSON resigned from a faltering InFocus in 2007 after three years at the Wilsonville projector company's helm, it seemed only logical that the 20-year tech veteran would soldier on in the field he knew best.
"I took a look at the business plan and said, 'I think they're clearly onto something here,'" says Ranson, who was introduced to his now-business partner Ed Dalton by a mutual friend last year. "Since then, it's been tremendously exciting." Originally founded in 1997 in California, Showers Pass now calls Portland home. The company, which has eight employees and a reported $1 million in annual revenues, specializes in high-performance cycling clothing, including jackets, wind vests and pants. The gear is currently available in Portland bike stores and through more than 200 active dealers nationwide.

The study, co-authored by the Center on Community Philanthropy director Charlotte L. Williams, was recently published online by the Journal of Communication. The extensive study sampled 146 episodes of prominent news programs focused on breaking news that aired on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and Univision from 2008-20012.
"Conducting this research is part of our ongoing efforts to understand dynamics of race and equity in today's society," Williams
Dixon found that among those described as domestic terrorist on those programs, 81 percent were identifiable as Muslims. Yet in FBI reports for the same period, only 6 percent of domestic terrorist suspects were Muslim, or about one in 17.
Likewise, among those described as immigrants accused of a crime on those news programs, almost all (97 percent) were identifiable as Latinos, according to the study – yet only about half (47 percent) of immigrants are Latinos, according to a cited 2013 report from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The results show that "the entire way we conceive of these policies is through a particular kind of ethnic lens," Dixon said. "Out conceptualization of various issues is so tied to race and ethnicity considerations that we've actually been somewhat misinformed."
In contrast with the overrepresentation of Muslims and Latinos in network and cable crime stories, Dixon found that African-Americans were significantly underrepresented in those stories, as both perpetrators and victims of violent crime.
According to the study, blacks were 19 percent of the violent perpetrators in the news accounts, yet were 39 percent of those arrested during that period, based on U.S. Department of Justice Uniform Crime Reports. They were 22 percent of homicide victims in the news accounts versus 48 percent in the national crime reports.
These results are contrary to previous research, by Dixon and others, that has shown blacks as overrepresented, especially as perpetrators, in television crime coverage. "This is something I don't think anyone has ever found in any study before," he said.
These results are in line, however, with studies showing that African-Americans are almost invisible in other ways on national television news – rarely seen as spokesmen, experts or in other roles, Dixon said. "This says that those findings in other areas apply to crime news as well, and that was kind of surprising to us."

Andrew Lovley of Wrentham, Mass. completed a three-month partnership with Give & Surf Inc., a nonprofit based in rural Panama that provides community development and educational access to an underserved indigenous population. Lovley's final capstone project for the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service culminated with the integration of an in-depth evaluation system into regular organizational practice.
To gather recommendations of employees, local leaders, and program participants, Lovley designed and distributed surveys to community members and former staff. This critical input informed the resulting evaluation plan, which assesses program impact while ultimately generating financial and in-kind support by outlining community need and documented program results. Systems were introduced to systematically monitor daily attendance, subject retention, Pre-K development, library book borrowing, community engagement, as well as student, staff, and volunteer satisfaction. In addition, a longitudinal impact study will be conducted to track progress of participating students.
"Andrew's aptitude in development and organization was immensely beneficial in assessing the organization's present structure and paving a way for its future. His project encompassed a full-scale assessment of the organization and its operations followed by a detailed implementation plan complete with measurements and goals," said Neil Christiansen, President and Founder of Give & Surf. "As a small grass-roots run organization we are incredibly grateful to have received such amazing support that will undoubtedly lead to positive changes for the organization and those individuals we serve in Bocas del Toro, Panama."
The services provided by Give & Surf are a result of glaring inadequacies in the indigenous Ngobe communities of Bocas del Toro. Local residents suffer from minimal access to early childhood education, healthcare, quality nutrition, and sanitation services, keeping the majority of the population in extreme poverty. The opportunity to participate in relevant, impactful educational programs, from preschool to adult classes, offers a way to empower an indigenous population that has long been marginalized and treated as second-class citizens.
In another component of the project, Lovley assisted Give & Surf's strategic plan to diversify its revenue stream by identifying appropriate foundational partners and submitting grant proposals that would support newly created summer school and marine education programs.
The capstone project is the third of three major field projects in the Clinton School curriculum. Lovley will graduate May 2015 after defending his capstone project to Clinton School faculty.
About Give & Surf
In response to requests by the local indigenous population for greater educational access, this small, grassroots 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was established in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Since its inception in 2011, Give & Surf has continued to expand its services to better meet community needs and now offers an array of programs and services, including pre-school, kindergarten, elementary school, and adult English classes, in addition to locally driven development projects.
More information about Give & Surf is available at http://giveandsurf.org/.
For her final individual capstone project, University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service student Ashley Jones of Piedmont, South Carolina, studied the Arkansas Drug Court System.
Jones partnered with the Arkansas Supreme Court to investigate the costs and benefits of Drug Courts in Arkansas. Through this partnership, she gathered information about the funding that is allocated to the drug court program as well as how, and how effectively, this money has been used. The study also compared the costs of drug court to those of jails, prisons, and addiction. In addition, she conducted interviews with experts that currently work in the drug court system.
Jones used the data to create, 1) a cost-benefit analysis of the Arkansas Drug Court System; 2) an executive summary that provides highlights from the full report; and 3) a pamphlet that gives a brief view of the costs and benefits of the Arkansas Drug Court System.
"We appreciate the work Ashley has done to study whether drug courts are effective not only in terms of cost, but also effective at keeping people out of prison, with their families, in recovery, and working in their communities. Often the intangibles are more valuable than the things we can count," said Stephanie Harris, Arkansas Supreme Court Communications Counsel.
"As Arkansas policy-makers discuss the need to spend millions on new prisons," Harris said, "there are existing programs that reduce the costs within our criminal justice system. Not only do the drug courts save the state money, they also keep people from reoffending and help them become productive citizens again. We hope that in the future more resources can be provided to expand these successful programs."
Vital Voices Global Partnership is honored to collaborate with the McLarty Global Fellows Program, a philanthropic endeavor established by Mack and Donna McLarty, for a five-year partnership to provide fellowships to students at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service, Sam M. Walton College of Business, and J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences.
"Donna and I began the McLarty Global Fellows Program as a way to support the important work being done to promote women's engagement and entrepreneurship around the world. We are pleased that Vital Voices has agreed to partner with us, and we are confident that both the students and the organization will benefit from the experience," Mack McLarty said.
Donna Cochran McLarty co-founded Vital Voices Global Partnership and serves on our Board of Directors. "Our mission is to identify, invest in, and bring visibility to extraordinary women around the world by encouraging their leadership potential," Mrs. McLarty said. "When we support women, we are also lifting families, strengthening communities, and enhancing prospects for peace."
This fall, we welcome to Vital Voices two fellows from the program, Tshering Yudon and Anna Applebaum, both 2015 MPS candidates at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service.
Tshering is conducting a review on the benefits of international networking for women business owners around the world. She will analyze the value of business networking and its potential to improve program design and implementation
Anna is conducting a review on the effectiveness of peer-peer exchange programs for women leaders around the world. She will analyze the use of peer-peer exchange as a tool for learning, network building and informal mentoring.
Arkansas Literacy Councils and the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service will host a "Time for the U.S. to Reskill" event on Thursday, December 4, 2014 at Universal Unitarian Church.
This event is part of a nationwide effort initiated by the U.S. Department of Education to gain feedback about the best ways to improve essential skills for the American workforce.
According to the Time to Reskill website (www.timetoreskill.org), results from an international study of adult skills, Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) Survey of Adult Skills, released in October 2013, show that the U.S. workforce trails many other developed nations in foundational skills essential for both individuals and the nation as a whole to thrive. These skills include the ability to read, the ability to understand numbers and do math, and the ability to solve problems using technology.
In order for the Department of Education to better understand the challenges involved in improving these skills, gather input from a wide range of stakeholders, and inform development of a national response, the Secretary of Education launched a national engagement process to obtain feedback. The goal of this process is to develop a national action plan to improve foundation skills of adults in the United States.
This event is part of that national engagement process and the report from this event will sent to be included in the national action plan on improving foundation skill of adults in the U.S.
The event will be on December 4, 2014 from 10Am to 4PM at Unitarian Universalist Church, 1818 Reservoir Road, Little Rock. For more information, contact Christina Standerfer at 501-683-5215.

A graduate student assisted The Beez Kneez, a Minneapolis small business, in its efforts to raise awareness about the importance of honey bees and pollinators to the health of our food system.
University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service student Lindsay Kuehn of Minneapolis, Minn., spent the past summer working in Minneapolis creating an interactive timeline to tell the story of how The Beez Kneez evolved from a business initially created to produce local honey and deliver it by bicycle, to a business that also educates the public through in-hive classes and has spearheaded an advocacy campaign to create positive legislation to improve the health of pollinators in Minnesota.
With one out of every three bites we eat resulting from the work that pollinators do on a daily basis, Kuehn's project aimed to help The Beez Kneez convey the importance of honey bees to the health of our food system and our lives. Over 85% of Minnesotans are concerned about the recent disappearance of pollinator species. The Beez Kneez, itself, lost over 50,000 bees in a twenty-four-hour period in 2013 due to the application of a common pesticide near one of its hives.
The loss of that hive spurred The Beez Kneez to launch the Healthy Bees, Healthy Lives campaign, which has been working to change legislation in Minnesota so that it becomes more pollinator-friendly. Kuehn was tasked with telling the story of how—and why—the Healthy Bees, Healthy Lives campaign was developed. "The timeline was instrumental in translating this work to the public in a digestible way which will further strengthen and communicate our goals as beekeepers and educators," said Kristy Allen, founder of The Beez Kneez.
Kuehn completed the project as part of the Clinton School Capstone program, which is the culminating project for students leading up to their Master of Public Service degree.

Paying college athletes a small stipend in addition to their scholarships is inevitable, the sports agent for former Arkansas Razorbacks quarterback Ryan Mallett said during a speech before the Clinton School of Public Service Monday.
J.R. Carroll, a partner at the Fayetteville office of the Kutak Rock law firm and one of two Arkansas-based agents representing NFL players, said the NCAA will no longer be able to rely on the justifications it has used in the past to avoid paying players. It calls players "student-athletes" when they really are college employees, and it uses their likenesses and names without compensating them. Meanwhile, the economics of college sports demands that the athletes be paid.
"The money has gotten to be so big and the pie has gotten to be so big that at some point, you're going to have to give a piece of that pie to the individuals who are actually generating that income," he said.
Carroll predicted that it will be commonplace for athletes to be paid small stipends to help them pay for college. Scholarships do not cover the full cost of college including incidentals, but practice demands preclude players from working paying jobs. However, he said stipends will remain relatively low because the universities will collude to prevent an "arms race."
Carroll said schools will have to pay stipends to both male and female athletes to comply with Title IX, a federal law requiring gender equity in educational programs receiving federal funds.
Carroll traced the current situation back to the 1950s, when Walter Byers, the first NCAA president, coined the term "student-athlete" so the NCAA and its member schools could avoid paying for worker's compensation. In a case involving a football player who died in a game, a judge ruled that players were not under contract, that universities are not in the football business, and that no university could profit from a football team – arguments that don't apply now, he said.
Two legal decisions this year have weakened the NCAA's case, Carroll said. When Northwestern University's players asked to be allowed to unionize, a National Labor Relations Board regional director ruled that scholarships are a contract and athletes are employees. Then a judge ruled in a lawsuit brought by former basketball player Ed O'Bannon and others that the NCAA could not prohibit member schools from offering players a limited share of sports revenues.
The ruling in the Ed O'Bannon case will not apply until 2016, but Carroll said some schools have already begun to discuss the kinds of financial rewards they will offer.
Carroll pointed to the University of Alabama to show how athletics is tied to the overall operation of the university. Since Nick Saban became head football coach of the Crimson Tide in 2006 and began leading the team to three national championships, athletic department revenue has increased by 112 percent, the school has received more than $600 million in private donations, and the student population has increased by 51 percent. Sixty-two percent of the school's students are from out of state, bringing in an extra $300 million just in out-of-state tuition. Meanwhile, the University of Florida, whose football team has been mediocre in recent years, has seen a one percent drop in its student population.
"Seven million dollars a year seems like a pretty good bargain for Nick Saban," he said, referring to the coach's salary.

This op-ed was originally published in The Baines Report, an approved student organization composed of and governed by students of the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.
In the 2014 midterm elections, Americans sent a clear message—they are currently displeased with the liberal policies of the Obama Administration. Republicans, moderates, and independents overwhelmingly voted for Republicans in an attempt to reign in the administration and to prevent any further left wing legislation. Considering the imbalance of power before the elections, specifically the Democrat Senate majority and the Democrat Executive branch, the switch of controlling parties in the U.S. Senate after midterm elections is not a new phenomenon. Four influential Arkansans recently spoke on a panel at the Political Animals Club in Little Rock, Arkansas, about the midterm election and its implications for Arkansas and the nation. Skip Rutherford, former Chairman of the Democratic Party of Arkansas and current Dean of the Clinton School of Public Service (CSPS), said that the nationwide elections results are not indicative of a new, long-lasting national trend. (S. Rutherford, personal communication, November 13, 2014). Rutherford compared the 2014 midterm election to the midterm elections of 1958, 1972, and 1995. (S. Rutherford, personal communication, November 13, 2014). During these elections, Americans voted to change the controlling party of the U.S. legislative branch, creating a U.S. Senate and House that were not of the same party as the president. Therefore, midterm elections that create a legislative majority diverse from that of the executive branch are a normal occurrence in American politics. The 2014 national election results are politics as usual—voters retaliating against current national officeholders and unpopular policies.
While the elections do not herald a new trend nationally, they do represent a change in Arkansas (M. Brantley, R. Brock, J. Brummett, & S. Rutherford, personal communication, November 13, 2014). Once an established swing state, Arkansas is now a state whose voters toe the Republican Party line (M. Brantley, personal communication, November 13, 2014). As a former legislative staffer for Mike Ross, retired democratic Congressman for Arkansas's Fourth Congressional District and 2014 gubernatorial candidate in Arkansas, I thought Arkansans would choose Congressman Ross over his Republican opponent Asa Hutchinson. I believed Arkansans would set aside their personal views about President Obama and vote for Congressman Ross based on his former voting record—he opposed "Obamacare"—and their past support for conservative Democrats in the state. However, I was wrong, and I am beginning to understand why.
Arkansans primarily rejected Democrats in local elections because they equated Arkansas's Democrats with the national Democratic Party. This is a significant divergence from the norm in Arkansas. Dr. Jay Barth, a political analyst in Arkansas and author of Ripe for Reform: Arkansas as a Model for Social Change, lectured to one of my CSPS classes on the nature of politics in Arkansas. He implied that while Arkansans generally supported Republican candidates in past national elections, Arkansans did not always apply the same reasoning to statewide elections. (J. Barth, personal communication, September 2013). Arkansas Democrats are traditionally more conservative than their national counterparts, which has appealed to voters in Arkansas and often resulted in voter support for statewide Democrats even when the state elected Republicans to national office. (J. Barth, personal communication, September 2013). Therefore, traditionally, Arkansans have supported candidates—regardless of party affiliation—who best aligned with Arkansas's traditional and populist values. (J. Barth, personal communication, September 2013). The midterm elections represent a stark delineation from Arkansas's past voting record. Statewide rejection of Democrats meant that Arkansas's Democratic candidates' unique policies and positions fell on deaf ears. Instead of considering state Democratic candidates' positions on issues in the recent election, which—for the most part—were not considerably different from their Republican counterparts, Arkansans rejected conservative southern Democrats and toed the Republican Party line.
Arkansas's transition from a swing state to an established Republican state is primarily due to President Obama and his liberal policies. Roby Brock, Editor-in-Chief and Host of Talk Business & Politics and another panelist at the Political Animals Club, explained that Republicans progressively gained ground during the 2014 campaign season because of their anti-Obama rhetoric, as well as President Obama's inaction on big issues, such as Ebola and ISIS (R. Brock, personal communication, November 13, 2014). President Obama's inaction during the election cycle, coupled with the Republican campaign against him, resulted in Democrats losing support from Arkansas's moderate, conservative, and independent voters (R. Brock, personal communication, November 13, 2014). According to Rutherford, "Big Republicans," concerned with economics and taxes, voted with "Little Republicans," concerned with Ebola, immigration, and guns. As a result, Democrats lost nearly all middle class and working class voters in Arkansas (S. Rutherford, personal communication, November 13, 2014). Brock echoed Rutherford and said Arkansas's Democrats had truly lost the white, middle-class, and rural conservative votes, and it would be 30 to 40 years before the Democratic Party could appeal to these demographics again (R. Brock, personal communication, November 13, 2014). While President Obama and his policies may not have had an effect on voters nationwide, they have made a tremendous, lasting impact on voters and candidates in Arkansas.
While I do not think Americans, or more specifically Arkansans, were wise to reject everything "Democrat," I do believe our country is best served by balanced legislative and executive branches. If the branches of government were balanced between a Democrat Executive branch and a Republican U.S. Senate before the elections, it is very probable that voters would have felt no need to retaliate at the polls; no one party's policies would have reined, and Republicans and Democrats would have had a balance of representation and control in our national government. For instance, had a Republican Senate majority existed during the debate on the Affordable Care Act, the branches would have been balanced, and Republicans potentially would have had more influence on the individual nuances within the proposed healthcare legislative package. A balanced government could even have prevented the overwhelming loss for Democrats during the 2014 midterm elections; both Democrats and Republicans would have been clearly represented and none could say their position was not considered.
The combination of a Democratic executive branch, a Democratic Senate, and the passage of unpopular policies gave Republicans fuel to oust Democrats in the 2014 elections (M. Brantley & R. Brock, personal communication, November 13, 2014). While the election did not create a new national trend, it did change the dynamics of politics in Arkansas. Today, a moderate, unaffiliated candidate will have a much better chance of being elected to office if he/she chose to run as a Republican, whereas traditionally a moderate candidate could have good odds running as a Republican or a Democrat. The Democratic Party of Arkansas has much to do if it is to regain the demographics it has so obviously lost. The questions remain: what can the Democratic Party do to attract voters in Arkansas, and how long, if ever, will the party regain support in statewide elections? As a moderate Democrat—and a woman who believes everyone deserves a voice—I believe balance is key to the governing process. If balance is not maintained, elections result in "complete wipeout revolutions" and "political earthquakes" that can alter the established political dynamics of a state for a very long time. (J. Brummett and S. Rutherford, personal communication, November 13, 2014).

USES: Saxagliptin is used with a proper diet and exercise program and possibly with other medications to control high blood sugar. It is used by people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Saxagliptin works by increasing levels of natural substances called incretins. Incretins help to control blood sugar by increasing insulin release, especially after a meal. They also decrease the amount of sugar your liver makes.
HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide and, if available, the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using saxagliptin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily.
The manufacturer directs not to split/cut the tablet before taking it. However, many similar drugs (immediate-release tablets) can be split/cut. Follow your doctor's directions on how to take this medication.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Carefully follow the medication treatment plan, meal plan, and exercise program your doctor has recommended.

Yankees Prospects: The 2017 All Home Grown Yankees
Last year I made a list of the "2016 All Home Grown Yankees," and I had a lot of fun doing it. It's going to be a yearly thing now. Just as a refresher, this is my prediction of the theoretical team the Yankees would put on the field if the front office decided to ...

Yankees struggling farm system will hurt them in 2014
It's no secret that the Yankees are looking to cut payroll down to $189 million next season. All along the way they have insisted that they would continue to field a "championship caliber" team though and they would need a lot of young players to step up to achieve that goal. Well let me tell you, ...

Yankees Farmville Report: Not as disappointing as you might think
In discussions about the Yankees farm system this year and last, there seems to be an emphasis on two things; injuries and busts. It is understandable too. Following prospects can be an extremely frustrating endeavor when expectations are placed too high. Part of the problem is the contents of scouting reports. When you start thinking about ...

The 2016 All-Home-Grown Yankees

I'm looking at it from the convenience point of view. As for weight, my OS120AX that it was flying on is listed at 650 grammes, and the possible AXI 5330 replacement is 652 grammes.
Remove the fuel tank, fuel, and throttle servo and you have about 20oz (sorry about the mixed units) for an ESC and battery. I reckon it should come out even on take-off weight -- all my (smaller) conversions so far have done, using AXI motors and A123 batteries -- and just as good or better on performance. The only way electric will be worse than glow is on flight duration, but 8 minutes is enough for me these days. |
Oct 22, 2009, 12:39 PM | |
It would fly fine with 6s or 8s setups, 10s would be heavy. Check out the threads in "giant scale" and "3d" section for the following planes: 3d hobby shop 70" slick, and extreme flight rc 78" extra. These are planes in the 9-12 lb range that fly well with 6s to 8s systems.
I fly a glo-converted 1/4" staudacher with 8s lithium and a geared astro brushless 60- 2300 watts with 8s rhino packs and 75 amps, 20-12 prop. WOrks awesome in this 11.5 lb former gasser. More cells would just be more weight. TYler |

I'm aware that battery is going to be a challenge because of the cowl design, but I envisage having to make an access hatch in the cowl because taking it off is not a simple matter. |

My local hobby shop is having a club night shortly, with good discounts, so I'm about to resurrect my Sukhoi conversion project for this winter. I'm still aiming for the AXI 5330 motor, and am leaning towards the 5330/18 at the moment because of its slight amps advantage over the 5330/F3A.
Any ideas (facts?) about why AXI produce two such similar motors, please? The difference in kv (235, 259) doesn't seem to be enough to make it worth having the two different versions. |

i,m just thinking of converting one i,ve had in the rafters for 15yrs.thinking of axi 5320-18 and a 6 cell lipo. prop will be a 20x8. the only problem i see is designing a darn hatch to access the battery. btw, this is the orignal with the gear in the wing.

bobt2, since I last posted in this thread I've actually taken the plunge and bought a Hyperion ZS-4045/12 motor and Atlas 90 ESC for my model. They're about 30%, or more, cheaper than the corresponding AXIs, Scorpions, or E-Flites here in the UK, and they have a good reputation. My initial thoughts for power were 10S A123 (because I've got several 5S packs), but I'll probably end up with 10S LiPo about 4000mAh to get extra flight duration and to keep the amps down to 60 or so, for about 2,000 watts for scale flying.
I've got other projects on the bench at the moment, so the motor won't be going in until later this winter. I envisage cutting a large access hatch in the top of the engine cowl, and I might replace the cowl with a fibreglass one to make it a bit stiffer. My Sukhoi also has the gear in the wing -- sounds like the same vintage as yours. |

I figured I want 2000 watts -- that's about 150 watts per pound for a 12.5lb model. I've got a T-Rex 500, so my first thought was 6S LiPo too, but that would need about 90 amps, which is way over the AXI 5330's capability. Also, as a matter of principle, I'd rather use more volts and keep the amps down to get the watts I need.
Then I saw the Hyperion ZS-4045/12 at 2/3 the price of the AXI and others. It'll handle 12S LiPo and 85 amps continuous. |

Match Preview
Puyol: Honduras match akin to a final Carles Puyol accepts Monday's World Cup group match with Honduras is like a "final" for the European champions after their shock defeat to Switzerland in their opening game. Puyol and co were beaten 1-0 by the Swiss in their first Group H match and need a win against the Central Americans to get their campaign back on track, having been touted as one of the pre-tournament favourites. Barcelona captain Puyol refused to accept his team had played particularly badly against Switzerland or that the team were tired after gruelling club campaigns. "The team is really enthusiastic and really keen after the incident the other day and we are looking forward to the next match," he said. "We want to feel cool and calm, to not be anxious and to play the football we know we can play. "It is an extremely important match - like a final. We know we have to come out winning. To do that we have to be very respectful of our opponent and we hope to have a good matc England manager Fabio Capello has come in for criticism over his policy of keeping his starting line-up a secret from his players until two hours before a match, but Puyol revealed that was the same approach Spain had adopted and felt it worked well. "We also know the starting line-up just before a match. What coaches look for is that everybody is really alert, if you know you are not playing you can disconnect," he said. "In terms of Spain we are all highly committed. Even if we all knew the starting line-up a day before a game I'm sure we would all be rowing in the same direction," National coach Vicente Del Bosque reported no injuries other than an undisclosed problem for Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta which he expects will rule him out of the match. Del Bosque has come in for criticism following the defeat to Switzerland, but he has been boosted by words of support from Spanish federation president Angel Maria Villar and insists he loves it when games are being played for the highest stakes possible. "Even when you are able to come out victorious it is not always usual to have everyone on your side, but I felt huge support and I have to thank everyone," he said. "There are some bitter-sweet opinions because defeat is difficult to take but I shouldn't be thinking about contrary opinions. "We don't have to fight that criticism, criticism should always be freely expressed. But I don't feel ill-treated and my squad does not feel ill-treated either. "This is the World Cup -we can't relax. We have the right amount of pressure. Our players are experienced, they are used to high-level competition and I prefer these matches that are very intense. There are very few easy matches as you have seen already," Like Puyol, Del Bosque insisted there would be no radical change of approach from La Roja. He said: "Substantially I don't think we will change our game at all in terms of what we've been doing over the last two years. We have to be more accurate in terms of finishing, but in terms of moving the ball we will follow the same style." Honduras captain Amado Guevara has urged his team-mates to play for a famous victory against a Spain side who are "not invincible". Los Catrachos take on the European champions in their second World Cup Group H match at Ellis Park with both sides looking to put points on the board after opening defeats - Honduras going down 1-0 to Chile. Spain's 1-0 loss to the Swiss was a major shock and it would be even more surprising if Honduras were to condemn Del Bosque's side to a second defeat. Guevara wants his team to treat Spain with respect but not to be intimidated by them. He told El Heraldo: "The team is good and ready to play against Spain, we know we have a great responsibility but also that we have a chance to move to the next round. We know that we are playing a team with great tradition and quality but we can win. "They are not invincible and we must work hard to win, it will be a duel because they have strong technique and we must not allow them time to think." "You have to control the ball, have more discretion, be bold and have conviction. Within the group we have prepared ourselves mentally to believe that we can win and progress into the last 16." Honduras midfielder Hendry Thomas suffered a muscle strain on Friday but is expected to be available, while coach Reinaldo Rueda will continue to assess the fitness of striker David Suazo who is battling back from a leg injury.

Match Report
Villa at the double for Spain David Villa almost had a perfect night as a goal in each half from the new Barcelona recruit helped Spain get their World Cup campaign back on track with a 2-0 win over Honduras. A wonderful individual effort in the first half was followed by a goal forged by brilliant movement off the ball in the second. The only thing missing was the hat-trick to crown the performance as he sidefooted wide a second-half penalty and struck the crossbar early on. The win was vital after the opening Group H defeat to Switzerland and Vicente Del Bosque's side finally looked to have settled into the tournament. Honduras had an early escape when Emilio Izaguirre handled the ball in the box as Fernando Torres tried to flick it over his head but Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura waved play on. Spain were even more unfortunate in the seventh minute when a 30-yard Villa shot smacked against the crossbar with goalkeeper Noel Valladares well beaten as the European champions came flying out of the blocks. Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos wasted a glorious chance when he headed over a Xavi free-kick from the left from three yards out and Villa cut in from the left and fired wide after Xabi Alonso had cleverly switched the play. Spain still looked a little nervy in defence after the Switzerland setback and a deflected Walter Martinez cross drew an unorthodox clearance with the knees by Iker Casillas. Spain then gained the lead they deserved, though, with a stunning strike from Villa after 16 minutes. Again the new Barcelona man had drifted out to the left, but this time he somehow manoeuvred the ball between Sergio Mendoza and Amado Guevara with supreme close control, cut inside Osman Chavez and at full stretch smashed an angled shot across Valladares into the top corner. Torres showed he was still some way from rediscovering his killer instinct as he headed a Ramos cross into the turf and over and then fired wildly over after full-back Mendoza, run ragged by Villa, gifted possession to him. Villa then caught the eye for the wrong reasons after lashing out at Izaguirre as the pair waited for a free-kick to come in, and he was fortunate to escape a booking or even a red card as Spain took a single-goal lead into the interval. The second goal arrived within six minutes of the restart as Spain launched a counter-attack. This time it was Villa's movement off the ball that proved key as he drifted back to the edge of the box to receive Navas' cutback from the right and his shot looped in off Chavez. Ramos almost added the third seconds later with a right-foot toe-poke from the edge of the area and more goals looked on the cards. Villa wasted a chance to complete a hat-trick from the penalty spot when he sidefooted wide after Navas made the most of some contact in the box from Izaguirre. Cesc Fabregas was then given his first taste of the 2010 World Cup, coming on for Xavi to a wall of vuvuzela noise. The Arsenal midfielder almost scored within seconds as Ramos played him in over the top, he rounded Valladares but Maynor Figueroa got back to clear his shot from an awkward angle. Substitute Ramon Nunez was the first to try his luck for Honduras in the second half with a right-foot free-kick over the top midway through the half, and Torres was withdrawn with 20 minutes to go for Juan Manuel Mata of Valencia. Mata was quickly into the action with a left-foot shot over from 20 yards as the Hondurans allowed him too much space and tried to turn provider for his old club colleague Villa with eight minutes left, swinging in a cross from the left which Figueroa had to divert for a corner. Villa was again denied his treble as Mendoza blocked a late effort from yet another Navas cross.

Special Events
- January 22, 2015Mastering the Camera Lens for Film Drama
A 1-day workshop to learn about the true power of the camera lens! With hands-on practice!
In all movie making endeavors, there is no doubt that cameras, lighting, sets & costumes have a tremendous impact on the look and feel of any film and consequently on its success. However, none have as much an impact on the finished product as the often neglected or taken for granted, camera lens!
This workshop, led by André Bériault, walks you through the "roles" of the lens, its "structures" & "controls" and their combined impact on a director's choices & oft-difficult compromises, whether he is using film or digital media. The ultimate aim of the workshop is to help you "see" your film going through the lens as you shoot, not later when it is usually too late!

Easy yet Decadent Red Velvet Cupcakes
Total Time
15 minsCook
25 minsThis is extremely easy yet wonderfully decadent cupcake recipe using red velvet cake mix that has been doctored up and a homemade buttercream/cream cheese frosting. When I make them, I have to hide a couple or I won't get any! Be warned; the batter is very thick. You haven't messed it up. Also, it makes a lot of frosting but as the frosting is so delicious, you won't mind having your cupcakes well covered :-)
Nutrition- 1 (18 ounce) box red velvet cake mix
- 1 (4 ounce) box chocolate instant pudding
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (NOT whipped)
- 1 lb powdered sugar (confectioners, about 4 cups)
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 1 cup whipped topping (home made or cool whip, both work fine)
- Prepare cake mix as directed on box, adding in the box of chocolate pudding mix and 1 tsp of the vanilla extract.
- Beat well; batter WILL be thick.
- Fill a touch over half full muffin tins that have been well greased or lined with muffin/cupcake liners; don't fill too high as they rise considerably.
- Cool on rack when done.
- This will make approximately 24 cupcakes.
- As cupcakes bake, make frosting.
- Using a mixer, beat cream cheese, remaining tsp of vanilla and butter in large bowl until well blended; gradually beat in powdered sugar.
- Careful beating in the sugar or you (and your kitchen) will end up looking like an audition for a movie of Casper the Friendly Ghost hehe.
- Beat in whipped topping and continue beating until frosting is thick and creamy looking, giving it enough time for the powdered sugar to break down and dissolve or you will have grainy frosting.
- If TOO thick, add cream or milk a LITTLE at a time until of piping consistency. You can always add a touch more cream; you can't take it out so be careful.
- Pipe or spread frosting on top of cupcakes when cool -- then pig out. :-).

Teachers Rally for Education FundsCHARLOTTE, NC -- More money for teacher pay. That was the rallying cry heard outside the Government Center Wednesday night. Teachers rallied ahead of Wednesday's county budget public hearing. CMS asked the county for an additional $46 million. The County Manager's proposal would only fund $26.8 million of that. "A lot of teachers and staff are either changing to other professions, or their actually leaving the state to go into neighboring states where salaries are better and incentives are a little higher," said Rob Aitchison of Allenbrook Elementary School. "We love our kids and we work really, really hard and we really, really believe that it's time for the teachers to get their raise. We need it," said Dwanna McNeely of Ridge Road Middle School. County Commissioners will adopt the budget for the 2015 fiscal year next Tuesday. |

Tramping, hunting and mountain biking clubs will be upgrading some backcountry huts and tracks after signing a $700,000 deal with the Conservation Department.
Conservation Minister Nick Smith last night announced a consortium of outdoor recreation clubs would share the money in return for completing up to 107 backcountry projects, including repairs and upgrades to as many as 36 huts and 670 kilometres of track.
The move would involve 10,000 hours of voluntary labour.
The clubs are now calling on their members and the community to tell them what huts or tracks they think need attention.
The consortium includes the Federated Mountain Clubs (FMC) with 17,000 trampers, the New Zealand Deerstalkers Association with 10,000 hunters, and the Trail Fund with 8000 mountain bikers.
FMC president Robin McNeill said the club had identified some projects, but wanted to hear from its members and the community before any decisions were made on which huts and tracks to work on.
Each application would be considered on its merit and could spread throughout the country, he said.
McNeill said he envisaged some of the money would be spent on transporting materials to the remote locations via helicopters.
The volunteers would then do the work and walk back out.
''They have a tramping trip and do a whole lot of good work and have a good time.''
McNeill said some huts, including forestry huts dotted around the country, had been well built, but just needed a few thousand dollars worth of work through one-off projects such as fixing rotten boards to put them in ''good stead'' for years to come.
The money would enable that work to happen, he said.
Smith said some huts had 20 or fewer nights' usage a year but maintenance and inspection costs were $4000 annually.
The facilities were important to New Zealanders, but because usage was low, they were only marginally economic to maintain, he said.
''A far better option than removing these huts is to partner with outdoor clubs who value these remote experiences and are prepared to help maintain them."
The money was granted from the $26 million Community Conservation Partnership Fund, announced in March this year.
It was not from the Conservation Department budget. The department was still be responsible for maintaining more than 900 backcountry huts and 11,500 km of tracks.
Work done on the huts and tracks would also have to meet strict DOC guidelines and be inspected by DOC staff as part of its normal schedule of checks.
However, Smith said it was likely the $700,000 contract would be expanded. It was part of the new direction of the department to work more with communities and businesses, he said.
''We need to change the culture from it being DOC land to it being public conservation land in which as many New Zealanders as possible get out, get involved and connect with their country."
Which huts or tracks do you think need attention? Comment below.

you guys forgot MOST of the lyrics of "all about that bass"
you guys forgot MOST of the lyrics of "all about that bass"
nah, buzzfeed. what would really be depressing would be having people unaware and not caring about the situations and current events around them. this shows people care, which gives me hope for the change in these situations
here to say what everyone else did but i think "all about that bass" has had enough undeserved attention. its wrong to tell a girl to get skinny to be appeasing to society, but go ahead and be curvy to appease men! starting with the fact that if this was a truly feminist song, it would tell girls that their worth is not placed on their body, and that men's as well as others opinions is irrelevant, just your self confidence and love is. i mean, great, go ahead, empower women, but give tem confidence in THEMSELVES not their power to attract men. second, "i'm bringing booty back"? wow, if this was a truly femenist song, why does it sexualize the femqle body for the pleasure of men? and im not even going to get into body shaming and all the other utterly unfeminist aspects of this song
ever read three skeleton key? similar stories! i swear i just thought of that story!

Larken is brilliant... the lawyer is slow and boring, although sometimes interesting, but mostly annoying to hear his feeble attempts. The host was great too.
Basically, people forming a group cannot grant rights to individuals to do things that they don't have themselves... very easy to get, but difficult to get too, when you have been brain washed your whole life to believe otherwise.
Also, these people writing in that Larken is a "looser"? ROFL.
I guess they mean loser. Either that or they mean his idea of government is loose? Either way, hilarious!

Using Data Detectors in Leopard's iChat
I'm always, well, tickled by the things that can happen when you use Terminal commands that begin with "defaults write" -- thus changing the preferences for applications, the Finder, and more, often in ways that you can't accomplish via GUI pref settings. I also get a certain warmness from Leopard's Data Detectors, but I have to confess I rarely use them. It's fun to watch the things that Mail can pick up on, and I've often tested to see what exactly iCal will make of it, but I guess some people just get better emails than I do. Strangely, I do get dates and info via instant messaging on a more regular basis.
You can enable Data Detectors in iChat with one simple command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.iChat EnableDataDetectors 1
You can disable it using the same command, but change the '1' to a '0.' Now you get the fun job of calling your closest Mac-using relative and explaining Terminal so they can use a feature that Apple hid from public view for what I can only assume were valid reasons. I hope your aunt has her screen-sharing figured out.

Not your typical science blog, but an 'open science' research blog. Watch me fumbling my way towards understanding how and why bacteria take up DNA, and getting distracted by other cool questions.
Genespring progress and problems
It's not clear yet whether these differences are in quality or in kind. That is, using a cutoff of at least a 4-fold effect in at least 3 of the 4 replicate arrays, some genes are turned on (or off) by E. coli Sxy but not by H. influenzae Sxy. But in some cases it may just be that these genes are affected more strongly by E. coli Sxy than by H. influenzae Sxy.
The postdocs have also had to work hard to get GeneSpring set up. The promised 24/7 tech support appears to have been outsourced, with phone advisors who rely on a set of help files rather than personal experience. Some of its promised functionalities can't be made to work at all, even with the data that comes with the software. We've escalated our complaints, and results are promised, but of course not until after the holidays.

I've tried the trial version of Genespring and practically everything you can do in Genespring you can do in Bioconductor (http://www.bioconductor.org/), which is open source and free! Of course, if you want to use Bioconductor, you will have to learn how to work in R-language, and it's not all nice and point-and-click (command line), but if you have someone who is willing to dive into R-language, this person will learn a lot about statistics along the way, plus you can completely customize the way you analyze the data.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the reason we're using GeneSpring isn't its power but its ease of use. We don't want to learn R or a lot of powerful statistics, and we very much do want to just point and click.
I think somewhere I have a post explaining that we're generalists, needing to do a lot of things with only modest expertise, rather than specialists who can invest the time to learn a few things very well.
