Angels' Pujols still excited by team's comeback
ANAHEIM - Before Friday night's game, Albert Pujols was still marveling about what the Angels pulled off, and against whom, the previous night.
"That wouldn't happen 99 times out of a 100, coming back from seven runs down against Felix Hernandez," Pujols said of the 10-9 victory over Seattle on Thursday. "You never would have thought that could happen, but we have a good offense here, too."
Pujols said they didn't get to Hernandez on an off night, either.
"Felix's stuff was filthy last night," Pujols said. "His ball was moving, that splitter or change-up, whatever he calls it. But we put up some really good at-bats against him."
The Angels had seven consecutive hits off Hernandez in a five-run fifth inning to cut their deficit to 8-7. Pujols' broken-bat, RBI single to center field was the fourth hit in that run, and the Angels slugger was vocally demonstrative after he rounded first, and came back to playfully punch first-base coach Alfredo Griffin in the belly.
But he wasn't firing up the troops or anything, just pleased with his plate discipline.
"I told Alfredo that I wanted to stay inside the ball like that," Pujols said, "instead of keep rolling over it."
He's been doing a lot of that lately. Going into the game against the Pirates, Pujols was 23 for 69 (.333) in his past 17 games, with five doubles, four homers and 15 RBI. He's had multi-hit games in five of the past six.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — A judge has denied a request from former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky to delay the June 5 start of his child sex-abuse trial.
Judge John Cleland on Wednesday denied defense attorney Joe Amendolas request for more time to prepare his defense.
Cleland says no trial date is perfect but that, on balance, starting the trial on Tuesday is best for the defendant and alleged victims.
Sandusky was charged in November and December with a total of 52 counts involving 10 boys he allegedly abused between 1994 and 2008.

The city of Simpsonville is waiting on the wheels of government to continue their slow turn before they can get started on the sidewalk phase of their town center project.
If you recall, the city received a matching federal stimulus grant that would fund building new sidewalks on the south side of U.S. 60 through the core of the city.
Shelbyville City Council will decide Thursday whether or not to raise System Development Charges for the Shelbyville Municipal Water and Sewer Commission.
The council heard a first reading at the April 1 meeting of an ordinance from the commission's manager, Tom Doyle, that would raise water rates for new developments, keeping the burden of costs off existing customers.
This is the first change in development charges since 2003, and if approved, they would go into effect on May 1.
Shelbyville rewards hero
Shelbyville Mayor Tom Hardesty honored Teresa Evans as an Ambassador of Shelbyville for going above and beyond the call of duty last month.
Evans, who declined to be interviewed, saw a person steal the Children's Miracle Network money off the counter at Speedway in Shelbyville, followed that person and contacted the police so the suspect could be arrested.
If you've been looking to get rid of that old fridge or that worn out plaid recliner taking up space in the basement, now's your chance -- at least in Shelbyville.
Shelbyville's Public Works Department will be offering pickup service for the city's citizens all next week.
A peaceful Sunday afternoon at Lake Shelby nearly turned into a tragedy for the Hernandez family.
When 6-year-old Gabriella Hernandez fell into the water as she and her sister were playing near the dam, 9-year Isabella didn't hesitate, her mother said.
For years people have wondered about the junk piled up at 546 Burks Branch Road, just north of the 4-way stop where 7th Street meets Eminence Pike, and as it turns out, that junk should have been cleaned up years ago.
In June 2005 former code enforcement officer Joanne Bemiss alerted property owner Arthur Gerald Butler that he was in violation of a zoning codes for having an illegal junkyard in an area zoned commercial.
The junk piled up at 546 Burks Branch Road may not be cleaned up for a while longer.
On Thursday a warrant was issued for the arrest of its owner, Arthur Gerald Butler, who has been in violation of zoning codes for having an illegal junkyard in a commercial area since 2005.
Scout finance campaign kicks off
David Bowling, Friends of Scouting Chair for Shelby County, says a campaign to raise money for scouting in the county will kickoff at 11:30 Tuesday with a luncheon at the Waldridge Center.
Former Kentucky basketball star and current radio commentator Mike Pratt will be the guest speaker.
Donnie Ethington said he has cleared 185 cars of the Ethington Auto Sales property on Midland Trail, and he hopes that's enough.
According to Ryan Libke, the Triple S Planning and Zoning executive director, the car lot is in the clear.
Triple S had been after Ethington Auto Sales since late last year to clean up two lots full of junk cars, which by zoning rules defined the car lot as a junkyard.
Alyson Myatt, a Shelbyville nanny who has been hailed a hero after running through flames to save a 5-year-old from a burning house, received $20,000 from Ellen DeGeneres and a cruise from a company sponsor during an appearance on the television show Thursday.

What to Look for in a Professional Monitor for CAD Applications

- Insight: Understand monitor technology in the context of CAD applications.
- Advice: What are the options that are most important for your application?
- Reviews: Compare 6 new monitors
- And more!
Multiple Display Support for CAD Workstations
The most compelling reason to install multiple GPUs is to drive multiple high-resolution displays. The secret's out that "multi-mon" is the single best way to improve your productivity. Anyone who's gone to two displays (or three — or more!) will tell you they could never go back to one. And more graphics cards can display more pixels across more monitors.
Which Graphics Card Works for You?
That said, you don't necessarily need to populate two cards to run two monitors, so pay attention to the cards you're selecting. NVIDIA's Quadro with nView and Mosaic technology can support two displays across most of the product line. A single high-end AMD FirePro V7900, with its Eyefinity technology, can handle four on its own, thank you very much. As such, if your performance demands have you buying midrange or high-end cards, you might get all the screen real estate you want with one card. But if you're much hungrier for pixels and screens than you are for polygons per second, you might consider two less-expensive, dual-monitor cards.
On top of multi-monitor support, you can use that extra slot to turn your workstation into a supercomputer. An exaggeration? Not to some. General-purpose computing on GPUs (GPGPU) technology is still evolving, but many of the applications that show the most promise are the ones of most interest to engineers and other CAD users: applications such as computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) and finite-element analysis (FEA). Simulation software developers such as ANSYS and Abaqus are porting code to harness GPUs to deliver big speed-ups — in many cases tenfold or even 100- fold increases — over CPU-only computation.
High-end graphics cards usually require more power than the 75 watts supplied by the typical x16 PCI Express interface. Workstation OEMs accommodate their extra needs via auxiliary power cables drawn from the supply. Some high-end and virtually all ultra high-end graphics cards are dual-slot thickness. They insert into one PCI Express x16 connector, but their thickness means an
adjacent x16 slot may be blocked and rendered useless.
Make the Right Choice
When purchasing a workstation online, the OEM's product configurator should let you know if the chosen card or cards will mate to the chosen system, with respect to power supplies and connectors, the number of available PCI Express x16 slots, and whether a dual-slot card has sufficient clearance. For example, when outfitting graphics on a smaller chassis that can't accommodate two dual-slot cards, chances are the OEM will only offer the option of two entry-level or two mid-range cards, both of which are single slot width.
For that matter, if you're perusing the latest flavor of entry level workstation, full-length cards may not have clearance lengthwise. Again, the online configurator should ensure compatibility, so you shouldn't have to worry about these issues.
How Much Should You Spend on a New CAD Workstation? Part 2: Mid-Range and High-End Systems
This series focuses on helping our readers understand what CAD workstations cost and how much they are going to have to spend to find a machine that meets their CAD production needs. The first part focused on entry-level systems. This post will discuss mid-range ($2,500 to $7,000) and high-end (more than $7,000) systems.
Mid-Range and High-End
Stepping up to the mid-range and high-end, you'll typically find dual-socket Intel Xeon processors along with full tower enclosures to handle more slots and drive bays. Spring for a dual-socket system and you'll get twice as many CPU cores, twice as much memory bandwidth, and twice the memory capacity.
Some OEMs are going to great lengths to show off the enhanced speed of processors and increased capacity of both graphics cards (for multi-monitor or high-performance computing support) and larger storage capabilities. For example, BOXX's top-end 4800 and 8500 series workstations feature overclocked CPU performance that provides a 25% higher frequency rate — that is, an Intel 2600k (Sandy Bridge) processor running at 4.5 GHz instead of 3.4 GHz. These workstations also provide support for as many as eight drive bays and an incredible seven PCI Express slots, allowing users to populate 18 TB of total storage and house seven single-width or four dualslot graphics cards.
But there's more to be had at the upper end of the market, as vendors are taking a page from Apple's book and investing an impressive amount of time and money to engineer hardware aesthetics and ergonomics, resulting in advances such as tool-less and (almost) cable-less designs; carefully designed air flow; and custom, workstation-specific, high-efficiency power supplies.
Start with Your Base Requirements
So do you really need a mid-range to high-end workstation? Will an entry-level CAD workstation do? The place to start is the base requirements for your CAD software of choice, then plan a system purchase accordingly. Note that this information makes a good starting point for configuring your workstation. We consider that the baseline, and you probably want some room to grow for software upgrades.
Also if you are doing any 3D modeling, look for faster and more capable processors, more RAM, more available hard disk space in addition to free space required for installation, and a graphics display adapter capable of at least 1,280 x 1,024 resolution in true color. The graphics card needs to have 128MB or more memory, support for Pixel Shader 3.0 or greater, and Microsoft Direct3D capabilities. (Again, consider these a starting point.)
Choose the Best Display for Your CAD Work, Part 2: Getting the Most for Your Money
Previously we covered the important characteristics to look for when choosing your next CAD display. Here, we finish our discussion with some suggestions about shopping and costs, as well as what you will need to get the best possible image out of your new display.
Seeing is Believing
As the old proverb states, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating." If possible, view your potential display up close and personal — before you buy. Ideally, you should view the candidate displays under the same lighting conditions as those of your office. Also, don't be afraid to bring an 8× magnifying loupe with you. You can learn a lot about a display by examining it at the pixel level. Quality displays will have well-defined, tightly packed groups or rows of red, green, and blue dots. These are the primary colors for the additive color process of light, as opposed to cyan, magenta, and yellow, which are primary for the subtractive color process of pigments. (Hah—I worked in a quick physics lesson.) Lesser displays will look blurry or fuzzy at the pixel level.
What You Should Expect to Pay
What you pay for your display depends on several factors, including the size, quality, and feature set, as well as where you purchase it. At the low end, budget at least $500 for a medium-quality 24″ display. On the other hand, you can easily spend $2,500 for a high-quality 30″ display. Without mentioning vendors or models, if we were in the market today for a CAD display, we would be looking at a good-quality 27″ LED backlight LCD display at a cost of about $1,000. Remember, you are going to be spending a lot of time with your choice of display, spend the extra money now, so you don't have regrets later.
Adjusting Your Display
After you have made your decision and have your new display in hand, don't stop there. Get the most out of your new LCD panel with DisplayMate for Windows ($69; downloaded), an excellent software-based utility for fine-tuning your display. Cadalyst has used DisplayMate, from Sonera Technologies (www.displaymate.com), for all of its monitor reviews since it first earned our Highly Recommended rating in 1995.
This wraps up this series. We hope you find it helpful when you are shopping for a display. In a future blog, we will take a detailed look at DisplayMate for Windows.

Choose the Best Display for Your CAD Work, Part 1: Where to Start
What is the single most important hardware decision for any CAD user? Their choice of display. This is especially true given the short half-life of today's workstations. You may have to live with your display through two, or even three, different workstation purchases.
Where to Start
First, the biggest factor affecting your choice of display is cost. Please: Do not scrimp on your display budget. If you must cut back on costs, hold off on that extra system memory or hard drive storage (you can upgrade both later).
Second, buy the largest display that fits your budget and quality specifications, as well as workspace. The bare-bones minimum size for even semi-serious CAD work is 24″. If you buy anything smaller, you will regret it every time you execute an extra zoom or pan to get the required view: During the course of a single workday, there might be hundreds of such productivity-killing distractions. We strongly recommend a minimum 27″ display for anyone that works fulltime with CAD.
Third, the transition away from CRT- based displays is complete. Today's display choices are LCD-based. The newest type of displays, sometimes listed as LED, are really just a type of LCD panel that uses energy-efficient LEDs for the backlight. These present a more pleasing and evenly distributed light to the screen.
Other Things to Consider
Here is a list of other factors, listed roughly by importance, to consider when
shopping for your next display.
- Resolution: For 24″ class displays the maximum resolution should be at least 1920 pixels across horizontally. At the high end, expect 2560 pixels for 30″ displays—see note below about graphics card.
- Brightness: Measured in cd/m2 (candelas per square meter), look for a minimum rating of 250, and preferably 300 and above.
- Contrast: Rating of at least 1000:1 is ideal. (Not to be confused with dynamic contrast, which may be listed as 1,000,000:1 or higher.)
- Response time: Should be no higher than 8ms; shoot for under 6ms. Some high-end displays now claim 2ms response times.
- Viewing angle: At least 170° is reasonable. Newer displays now offer 178°.
- Screen surface: This factor may be more or less important to you, depending on how harsh the light is in your workspace. In general, you will give up some brightness for more glare control.
- Color depth: Today's minimum of 24bit (16.7 million colors) is fine for most CAD users.
- Color Accuracy: Not essential for most of you, unless you are creating drawings or renderings for publication where it is important to match colors for printing.
- Connection options: Expect at least D-sub and DVI connectors; many new displays now support DisplayPort, the latest video/audio standard.
- Graphics Card: To ensure that you get the most out of your new purchase, double-check that your graphics card handles the display's maximum resolution and supports its best available connection option.
Next time, we will finish our discussion on choosing a CAD display, and make a suggestion on how to get the most out of your new purchase.

The Advantages of Eyefinity for CAD, Part 3: Rules of Thumb
Previously in this series, we've talked about using Eyefinity with older displays and how to find the right adapter for non-DisplayPort monitors.
Obviously this confusion will fade away as older non-DisplayPort monitors are gradually replaced by new DisplayPort-savvy displays. For reasons of cost though, don't expect to see that too soon. Until then here are some rules of thumb.
- A maximum of 2 VGA/DVI/HDMI monitors can be enabled simultaneously by using a passive DisplayPort adapter/dongle on FirePro cards. (about $22)
- To enable support for more than 2 VGA/DVI/HDMI monitors, active DisplayPort adapters/dongles are required (about $28 but included for free, one for each DisplayPort output, w/ the latest generation of FirePro cards).
- To support a dual-link DVI monitor, a powered, active DisplayPort to DL-DVI adapter/dongle is required (about $80)
- DisplayPort monitors of any resolution require no adapters/dongles
- VGA monitors can be supported via:
- Native VGA connector from the graphics card
- DVI-I connector + passive DVI to VGA adapter
- Active DP to VGA adapter
Eyefinity is a game-changing technology for boosting productivity at very low cost and low power. By including active adapters in the new FirePro line, AMD is making the user experience for Eyefinity significantly better and thus more pervasive.
I actually read a Twitter post the other day that seems relevant here: "RT @cavemanjim: Biggest takeaway from AMD Fusion Summit is that AMD actually cares about user experience. It's not a means to an end, it is the end."

Greenwood is proposing to significantly increase the size of its tax-increment financing district on the city's east side. The district would stretch from County Line Road to the city's southern edge and extend as far west as portions of the Old Town area.
Tax-increment financing districts capture property taxes on new development and on increased assessments in designated areas and channel those funds into economic development projects. None of that tax money is shared with libraries, schools, the county or other taxing bodies.
Currently, the Greenwood Redevelopment Commission oversees the spending of more than $7 million collected in the TIF districts each year. Expanding the district would add millions of dollars in valuation.
The Greenwood City Council voted 4-4 Tuesday on whether to expand the city's eastside TIF district. Since the members couldn't reach a decision, the council will meet to vote again.
That means there's still time to seriously reconsider this plan. The city would be siphoning off property tax revenue for its own use at the expense of other public entities, most particularly schools.
Clark-Pleasant Superintendent Patrick Spray has asked the city multiple times for assistance because of shortfalls in property tax revenue due to property tax caps. The school district is the fastest-growing in Johnson County and has more than $116 million in debt because of several building projects, including new middle and intermediate schools, to accommodate the added students.
Those requests have yielded limited results. In fact, at this week's meeting, city council member Thom Hord said, "I'm for helping schools. I think you have way overspent. Now you're looking for help getting out of that."
This comment is shortsighted. The decision to build and remodel schools was necessitated by skyrocketing enrollments. Then property tax caps were instituted, which changed the rules but made no accommodation for decisions made under the former system. Franklin is encountering the same problems.
Spray acknowledged this when he responded, "If I were building buildings today as opposed to pre-tax caps, they would look a lot different."
In addition, Greenwood bears part of the responsibility for the growth in the Clark-Pleasant district. Through zoning changes, it has encouraged developers to build subdivisions. Those new families sent their children to local schools.
But even occasional support for schools from the TIF districts, especially an expanded one, doesn't erase the fact that the Clark-Pleasant and Greenwood school districts still would be denied their share of revenue from growth in the area.
TIF districts were created to enhance economic development. We agree improving local infrastructure, including downtown streets and sidewalks, would enhance the community and spur development.
But at the same time, one of the key factors in economic growth is education. It takes high-quality local schools to produce the skilled employees needed in today's workplace. In addition, good schools are among the things companies look for when relocating or expanding.
Spray has proposed excluding measuring device manufacturer Endress+Hauser's most recent building projects from the expanded TIF district. This idea drew support from two members of the city council.
We think it would be a good first step.
School districts already have made sacrifices. The city, which already receives a substantial amount of TIF money, would be asked to make a sacrifice as well.
Strong schools are a key to economic development. Denying them support is wrongheaded and potentially damaging in the long term.
Greenwood needs to be a good civic resident and work with its neighbors.
First, compromise on the TIF district. Then have a serious discussion about the impact of TIF districts on schools.
The city needs to be part of working toward the greater good of the community.

Before we decided to make an offer on the short sale home, she always made herself available to show us other homes at times convenient to us and we never felt rushed or pressured at all in the buying process. JoAnna is very knowledgable about the North Shore market and area, and helped us to hone in on what we were looking for in a very short time frame (we didn't realize it would be a short sale, which unfortunately was anything but short - but we were well counseled on that before making an offer, as well!). My husband and I highly recommend her as a buyers agent." Anne & Brad Sedushak
"Given the way everything went with this house, we want to say that you were awesome and we couldn't have asked for more. you are the best!" Vijay & Shruthi Gopalakrishnan
"Joanna Koperski and Edyta Tabor are an exceptional team. My husband and I couldn't be more pleased. Would we recommend them both? Absolutely. 100%. To anyone - anytime - anywhere." Aleks & Maria Dabrowski
"I just wanted to drop you a note to say Thank you so much! You were absolutely wonderful to work with and I would recommend you to anyone!" Nicole Leiter
"Joanna was very professional, knowledgeable and cooperative - she became a good friend." Roy and Marie Peterson
"Joanna was an absolute delight to work with. Her professionalism, knowledge and support through-out the entire process was fantastic. She was always willing to go the extra mile." Peter & Anna Smith

I was originally hesitant to use you as a dual agent because I thought there may be conflicts, but you were truly wonderful to work with, honest and EXCELLENT at calming me down. So thank you. I sincerely hope we continue to keep in touch." Greg & Kate Neer
"Dear Joanna, This seems the perfect time to thank you for everything you have done for us over the last several years. From the moment we received you note card from you with a huge "sold" over the photo of our home (which we have saved), you have been an amazing professional, and considerate representative for our property and our family. Thank you for being our friend and confidant throughout our adventure.

We totally respect what you have done for us and appreciate all of your kindness as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" Gloria & Woody Higgins
"Joanna Koperski is a SUPER STAR real estate broker! We relocated from California due to a new job opportunity, but had limited ability to personally tour homes in the area. After only a handful of phone conversations and emails, Joanna zero'd in on what we were looking for and we soon had a short list of properties which all seemed great online. Here's what set her apart. She personally toured AND filmed each property on our short list and sent us the videos that same day along with her personal opinions. We managed to narrow down the list even further so that when we finally flew into town to meet her for the first time, she took us to see the best of the best. We made an offer on the home we eventually bought that very same day. Joanna is just fantastic, one of the most pleasant and hard working real estate brokers I've ever worked with, and I highly recommend her!" Jim Ingalsbe & Chris Kurtz
"Mrs. Koperski went above and beyond her duty to help us find the perfect home. Being in the military my wife and I were not always able to be present when looking at a home we were interested in. Mrs. Koperski took phenomenal video for the both of us to review. We found the perfect home while never even stepping a foot in it until closing. Mrs. Koperski was truly quite the professional and her talent is unparalleled to any other realtor I have dealt with." Antonio Thacker
"Joanna worked with me through every aspect of selling the property. She was extremely knowledgeable, honest, and presented realistic views and options. Her smooth expertise in the sale of my condo was much appreciated." Priscilla Humay
"Joanna assisted us buying and selling. She did a great job and did a lot of background research so we had all the information we needed to make a decision. I would highly recommend Joanna, her personal attention to every detail makes her top notch!" Tracy Merfeld
"Joanna is a wonderful agent to do business with. She is very knowledgeable regarding the housing market in the North Shore area. Joanna is also very professional, respectful, and responsive to not only our calls and inquiries, but also those of prospective buyers.

"Joanna was very realistic and practical in her advice throughout the whole selling, contract, and closing process." Chris & Gloria Shreve
"As a REALTOR®, my clients come first. My goal is to ensure that each one receives my undivided attention and, equally important, that they enjoy a most successful, gratifying and rewarding real estate experience. My greatest pleasure comes from accomplishing this goal. It is a privilege to contribute to one of the most important events in their lives."
"Given the way everything went with this house, we want to say that you were awesome and we couldn't have asked for more. You are the best!"
"Joanna Koperski and Edyta Tabor are an exceptional team. My husband and I couldn't be more pleased. As someone who was buying a home for the first time and having a "type A" personality, they made the process easy as pie and stress-free (as stress-free as it can be..) My husband and I both work full time and they were very accommodating. We were ALWAYS in the know when it came to each step of the buying and selling process -- they dealt with at least 10 text messages from me alone daily. They handled all the negotiations, keeping communication open with all legal/mortgage lenders/other realtors, etc - we really just had to show up & answer a few questions here and there. Sometimes I get so busy that I forget to open e-mails, and Edyta was right there to text me all necessary information (including where to be for closings!). Would we recommend them both? Absolutely. 100%. To anyone - anytime - anywhere."
"We were referred by a friend and are more than satisfied. Edyta helped us find the home of our dreams and Joanna negotiated the best possible price. We feel like we couldn't have done this without them. Thank you so much!"

Examining Infants' Preferences for Tempo in Lullabies and Playsongs
Conrad, Nicole J., Walsh, Jennifer, Allen, Jennifer M., Tsang, Christine D., Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology
Caregivers around the world sing to their infants. Infants not only prefer to listen to infant-directed singing over adult-directed singing, but infant-directed singing also serves a function, communicating affective information to preverbal infants to aid in adjusting arousal levels. Pitch variation has previously been identified as one performance feature that may help to convey the message. Earlier research has indicated that infants' pitch preferences are context dependent, suggesting that infants are tuned in to the communicative intent of infant-directed singing. However, there are several other performance-based features present in infant-directed singing that may also contribute to the affective message. The current study examined the role of context on infants' tempo preferences in sung playsongs and lullabies. Using a head-turn preference procedure, we measured 24 preverbal infants' natural preferences for foreign language playsongs and lullabies as a function of tempo. Infants showed a preference for fast over slow tempo playsongs, but no such context dependent preference was found within lullabies. Results partially support the role of tempo as a communicative feature of infant directed singing.
Keywords: infant perception, music perception, tempo perception
Music is often used to express and elicit emotions (Juslin & Sloboda, 2001). Basic emotions such as happiness and sadness are easily attributed to musical pieces by both adult listeners (Cupchik, Rickert, & Mendelson, 1982) and young children (Trainor & Trehub, 1992). Clearly music has the potential to convey emotional information to listeners of various ages. The use of music as a means of emotional expression may be especially important to infant listeners. Caregivers' singing to their infants is a universal phenomenon (Brakeley, 1950; Trehub & Schellenberg, 1995), and infants demonstrate a clear attraction to maternal singing compared with maternal speech (Nakata & Trehub, 2004). Furthermore, infants show a preference for infant-directed singing compared with infant-absent singing (Trainor, 1996), and this preference is present in newborns (Masataka, 1999). One proposed function of infant-directed singing is to communicate affective information to preverbal infants to adjust their arousal levels (Trainor, 1996; Trehub & Schellenberg, 1995; Trehub, Trainor, & Unyk, 1993). However, the performance-based features of infantdirected singing that convey the message are unclear. While numerous studies have indicated that pitch is an informative performance based aspect of singing (Trainor, 1996; Trehub et al., 1993; Tsang & Conrad, 2010), other performance-based characteristics of infant-directed singing, such as rhythm and tempo, may also be informative to the infant. The present study addressed this issue by examining whether infants' preferences for tempo are contextdependent.
Infant-directed songs can generally be categorized into two major song types: playsongs and lullabies. Each song type has characteristic performance features. Playsongs are characterized by high rhythmicity, high pitch level, and fast tempo and are often employed by caregivers to arouse and stimulate their infant (Rock, Trainor, & Addison, 1999). In contrast, lullabies are often used to calm and soothe an infant to make them ready for sleep (Trehub & Trainor, 1998) and are typically sung at a lower pitch and slower tempo in comparison to playsongs. Trainor (1996) demonstrated that these performance features are perceptually discriminable to adult listeners, who were able to correctly categorize playsongs as playsongs and lullabies as lullabies. In addition, playsongs and lullabies elicit different behavioral responses from infants. Listening to playsongs often leads young infants to display outward behaviors and look to their caregivers more often, whereas listening to lullabies generally leads to infants directing their attention inward (Rock et al. …

The sleepy Commodore was directly hit by the Flare blitz. However the impact caused him to wake up. He was still kind of drowsy though.
"PORYGON...pory..." ["Sleep mode... interupted... bzzt..."]
Commodore mumbled. Mark called out a bit more to get him back into gear. The Vulpix get hurt fromt he impact of Flare blitz. Maybe this time they could hit him!
"Alright Commodore. Let's change things up a bit. Charge beam!" Mark called out. Mark usually never had a chance to use this move too much... time to see just how it would do in battle! He did know it had the power to sometimes enhance a pokemon's power...
A electric charge began to form from the Porygon's nose. After getting a good lock on Jem, Commodore fired the beam of electricity straight toward Jem.

A First Look at Assembling IKEA's New Kitchen Cabinets, SEKTION: Part 2: The Big Reveal!
IKEA Kitchen Intelligence
Yesterday we shared a step-by-step look at putting together IKEA's brand-new SEKTION kitchen, thanks to our friend Dan Goldman from Brooklyn's PANYL. Today we get to see the finished product in what is (probably) New York's very first SEKTION kitchen — but certainly not the last!
Let's see what this kitchen looks like now, shall we?
A First Look at Assembling IKEA's New Kitchen Cabinets, SEKTION: Part 1: Construction
IKEA Kitchen Intelligence
This week we're learning more about IKEA's new SEKTION kitchen cabinets, thanks to the help of Dan Goldman from Brooklyn's PANYL. Now we're about to see SEKTION in action!
Earlier this month Dan and Ron Youmans of The Kitchen Couple installed a SEKTION kitchen in a Boerum Hill, Brooklyn rental apartment. Here's a play-by-play of their installation experience.
IKEA's AKURUM vs. SEKTION Cabinets: What's the Difference?
IKEA Kitchen Intelligence
Last week we showed you the first official photos of IKEA's new modular SEKTION kitchen cabinet system, which replaced longstanding, uber-popular system AKURUM.
To really understand the differences between the two cabinet systems, we turned to Dan Goldman of Brooklyn's PANYL. Dan recently built a kitchen using the new SEKTION, and this week he is sharing his experience with us — beginning with how SEKTION diverges from its predecessor.
Another Way to Use That Above-Cabinet Space? Hang a Shelf There!
Small Space Solutions
Ah, that awkward space above the kitchen cabinets — you know the one. In the past we've discussed using baskets or a bit of eye-catching wallpaper to fill the void. Still uninspired? Here's one more idea to add to the list: hang a shelf there!
A Guide to IKEA's New SEKTION Kitchen Cabinets! We've Got Sizes, Prices, and Photos
IKEA Kitchen Intelligence
As we wrote a few months ago, IKEA is retiring their AKURUM cabinet system and replacing it with SEKTION, a more modular system that promises to be even easier to work with and customize.
At the time we wrote that post, we hadn't yet seen the new system in action, but that was then, and this is now, and now we have all the details, pricing info on sample kitchens, and plenty of photos ahead of the official February 2 launch.

BCS National Championship: OU's offense for the ages goes flat
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — As the last seconds ticked away, quarterback Sam Bradford stood on the sidelines. Helmet on. Arms folded. Helpless. When it mattered most, Oklahoma's record-setting scoring machine sputtered in the BCS National Championship at Dolphin Stadium as Florida rolled past the Sooners, 24-14. "Obviously it's very disappointing to end the season on a loss, especially in a game that we felt like we had a chance to win," Bradford said. "In the first half, we squandered some opportunities to score points. "That really hurt." Twice in the second quarter, college football's No. 1 red-zone offense drove the ball inside the Gator 10-yard line. Total, the Sooners came up with zero points, proving to be the difference in the two-possession game. "It broke us," said guard Brandon Walker. Following an interception by Gerald McCoy that gave the Sooners field position at the Florida 26-yard line, running back Chris Brown pounded the Gators for 25 yards on three carries down to 1. But on back-to-back plays, the Sooners couldn't block backup defensive tackle Torrey Davis. On third-and-goal, Davis slipped through the line and popped Brown for no gain. Then on fourth-and-goal, Davis sliced through guard Brian Simmons and center Jon Cooper and dropped Brown two yards behind the line of scrimmage — the 12th time in 81 tries all season the Sooners didn't score a touchdown with the ball inside the opponent's 20-yard line. "That just wasn't us. It was real frustrating," said left tackle Phil Loadholt. "They just won the line of scrimmage," said offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, who noted after the game that maybe a play-action pass would have been the better call in that situation with Florida selling out against the run. "We probably should have made a better call," he said. But later on in the quarter, the Sooners had another chance to take a lead into halftime, moving 74 yards in just over 2 minutes, highlighted by a third-down, 11-yard grab by tight end Jermaine Gresham down to the Gator 6. Even though Gresham got out of bounds with 10 seconds left, OU called its last timeout to discuss the next play. "We were going to throw it in the end zone," Wilson said, "And if we didn't score, kick the field goal." Bradford tried to squeeze a pass to wide receiver Manny Johnson running a slant route in front of the goal line. But the ball bounced off Johnson's hands, ricocheted off two Gators, then landed softly in the arms of Florida safety Major Wright for the interception. Had Johnson came up with the catch, however, he likely would've been stopped before scoring and time would've run out. "Obviously, I wasn't trying to throw an interception, but yeah, we called it, and it actually wasn't the coverage we were expecting to run that play," said Bradford, who threw for just 111 yards in the second half after that interception. "I tried to force one in there, but I probably should have just thrown it in the back of the end zone and taken the three points." Said Johnson, "We moved the ball really well in the first half. We just couldn't capitalize in the red zone. "That gets you beat."

Magi: The world can be endlessAnd like all animes, they want to continue but they never seem to be able to for one reason or another. The series was pieced together very well, it didn't feel rushed to me, I think it ended just right. Everything got across well to the viewers. But I didn't agree on how the story flowed in the second half. It seemed a little slow, I think there could be another season, I do like the trio ...Read more
Amazing shows episodes!Probably it is amazing! But I wanna see next new season 3! I heard rumor that already announce season 3?! I can't believe! It was very slow!! I want! I walrus kept all time on tune of videos Magi!!! Please manager crunchyroll or crunchyroll team! Plz!
Magi, a kingdom of magicThis anime was amazing. The first season caught me head on, not knowing the main characters have a characteristic that will blow ur mind. Secretly rooting for Morgiana since shes like, woah op superhuman... Second season is when things get more complex but wayyyyy more enjoyable. If this didn't help, then lets just say I started to read the manga for this. P.S. Never read any manga till I watched ...Read more
On my top 5 anime :)I started watching Magi on Netflix and i instantly got hooked on it and i have to say its on my top 5 favorite anime. i get so excited on every episode and always makes me laugh or cry on the sad moments. i hope that there is another season coming out.
GREAT SHOW I REALLY ENJOYED but still mehThe characters are nothing special just your typical shonen nakma power types
Magi does something not many animes can They created this deep and interesting wold of magic and that lets you get lost in the mechanics of this intricate world.
and the art is very pretty so thats always a plus
I guess u should watch it but DONT GO RUN AND WATCH IT
An interesting adventureMagi is a fresh and new twist on names every person knows. Its comedic releif and all but weak characters make Magi a literal blast on the magic genre, and leaves a pleasent mark on the Anime name. The deep laiden story and well developed characters of the Empires make for an interesting watch and not a moment goes to waste. Overall, I throughly recomend Magi for all Anime ...Read more
Magi overall 5/5....I love Magi, they way the go about the use of magic to the way sword fights are fought, the art style is amazing, and so to is the humor, the fact that the anime/manga series doesn't seem overly serious nor extremely goofy, i do hope that the make more seasons, that would be super amazing!
One of the Best New(ish) AnimesIf you like Shonen, especially titles with good character development, great plot, and drama, you'll like this one. With a variety of interesting and unique characters, Magi takes an emotional toll as you watch, without leaving you feeling empty for long. The characters are very deep; most of them have a struggle of some kind, yet at the same time they don't mimic each others'. If you like titles ...Read more

Greenwood has approved giving a new company money and tax breaks on equipment.
Midwest Purification LLC plans to manufacture filters for drinking water later this year in Greenwood. The company asked the city for a five-year property tax break and $50,000 cash to pay for equipment.
The cash would help the company get started manufacturing the filters June 1, president Michelle Straumins said. The money will help with the company's cash flow and go toward equipment that makes the filters, she said. The incentives from Greenwood were among the considerations when the company decided where to start Midwest Purification, she said.
National Trade Supply, Midwest Purification's parent company, plans to invest $6 million to start the company and hire 40 to 50 employees within three years. Midwest Purification will hire eight to 10 employees this year.
The Greenwood City Council unanimously approved the incentives.

You can buy digital downloads at the sizes your photographer has made available. A digital download is simply a copy of the image file, sized in one of four ways.
A Web Size image is roughly 640x480 pixels in size, or 0.3 megapixels. This is great for web sharing on social sites like Facebook.
A 1Mpix image is roughly 1 megapixel in size. In English, that means a square 1 megapixel image would be about 1000 pixels wide and 1000 pixels high.
A 4Mpix image is 4 megapixels. This is a size that allows for quality printing at most reasonable sizes. If you want to print at really large poster sizes, you would probably want a larger image.
An Original image is the exact image that the photographer has put online. It is the original size of the image, identical in every way.

Re: Being the booker
Victoria picks up the obvious win in the fatal 4 way, and after her push, she will give trish a very close match at the ppv. Perhaps not a title change, but still a good chance to crown a new champion
Cabana was a hilarious segment, with some great ripping on Newcastle by Carlito. Myabe we could have seen a bit more on Geordie girls, and maybe he could have tried to imitate a Geordie accent, as that would have made the segment perfect. RVD's silence is finally broken by Edge, who comes out and says a few things, carrying on his always being screwed gimmick. Edge/RVD at the ppv will be a great match, and it will be an interesting one to read, with both men being tweeneresque
Sting picks up an easy win, giving him some momentum for the ppv
Great Christian promo, and hopefully we will be going over Orton this Sunday
OJ steals one over Eugene, but booker t and goldust make the save, and I guess this leads to a 6 man tag at the ppv, which will be a nice filler match
Good rey promo, putting himself over as someone who will never give up
Nice tag match, which did the usual build up to the ppv stuff. Christian and Orton brawl with each other, as do Carlito and Rey, and the double DQ makes it hard to call a winner at the ppv, with nobody gaining a clear advantage. Perhaps with Christian backing off, it means he might get the win
Taker/A-Train wouldn't have been a pretty match, but a good one for Taker anyway. Facing him under hardcore rules only for A-Train would have evened the match a bit, and been a nice warm up for Sunday. Taker gets the win, and is looking dominant at the moment
Nice start to the main event segment with a good promo from HBK. Very good main event match, with all 6 men being put over well, and Cena gets the pinfall over Cade at the right time. Big win for the faces, which probably means that they wont both win, and cade and jindrak come out looking the weakest, which is the way the match should have ended. Very strong promo from Cena at the end, and it will be very interesting to see if he leaves Armageddon with the belt
World Heavyweight Championship Match: Last Man Standing Match:
Shawn Michaels
vs. John Cena -
Something just tells me that HBK will somehow do enough to retain the belt, at least for another month. Dont see Cena getting it back really, and with him coming out of raw strong, this could confirm it
Intercontinental Championship Match:
Rey Mysterio
vs. Carlito -
Rey will hold the belt for at least a small time longer, and maybe carlito will take the belt, but not just yet
World Tag Team Championships; Ladder Match:
The DX Duo vs.
The World's Greatest Tag Team
This is the match where the title change happens. DX duo have had the belts for a while, and although they are still entertaining, i think new champs is needed
Women's Championship;
Trish Stratus
vs. Victoria -
Dont see Trish's title reing ending just yet, but victoria will take the title in a rematch
Legend vs. Legend:
Ric Flair vs.
(Flair cannot be disqualified, or counted out, and falls count anywhere)
Taker has lost so often over the last few ppv's, and he needs a win to get a bit of momentum back. Flair winning would boost him in any way, with him only a part-timer, so Taker must go over
One on One:
Randy Orton vs.
Christian has been a lot as of late, and he will carry on his push with another win here methinks. Orton has been going stale a bit of late, whilst Christian gets better, so he has to take the win
Past vs. Future:
Sting vs.
Batista could do with the win more, as his push has started nicely
Challenge Match:
Edge vs.
Rob Van Dam
Wild guess here - this match could go either way, but i think RVD will take the win, with Edge turning fully heel the next night on Raw
6 Man Tag Team Match:
vs. Booker T, Goldust & Eugene -
Have had a small push recently, so why night a ppv win as well?

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) -- Beauty suddenly turned brutal on a rocky outcropping at one of the nation's most popular national parks as a huge, hurricane-generated wave sent spectators scattering and dragged several into the chilly Atlantic, killing a 7-year-old girl.
But the chief ranger at Acadia National Park said Monday that officials did all they could to caution throngs of visitors to keep back from huge waves that crashed spectacularly - and dangerously - against the rocky shore. Many didn't heed their warnings, and by Sunday afternoon the girl had been swept into the sea and died.
Two others were hospitalized after being pulled into the roiling ocean by the wave that crashed on the rocks about 150 yards from a popular attraction known as Thunder Hole, which sends plume-like sprays into the air even under normal conditions. A viewing platform there had already been closed by the park due to Sunday's danger.
The name of the 7-year-old victim and her father, who are from New York City, were not released as of Monday afternoon. The man and a 12-year-old girl from Maine remained hospitalized in Bangor's Eastern Maine Medical Center.
The wave swept over 20 people, 11 of whom were taken to the hospital, officials said.
Spectators anxious to take in the views of dramatic surf began filling up Acadia, about 50 miles east of Bangor, on Sunday morning, Chief Ranger Stuart West said. As the tide rose, generating even bigger waves, 10,000 people had parked along the roadway to view the waves spun off by Hurricane Bill, West said.
The park dispatched seven rangers to the area to warn spectators to keep away from the rocks, where 12- to 15-foot waves were breaking, said West.
"But some folks weren't grasping how fierce the ocean can be," said West. Three signs warning of "dangerous waves and rip currents" had also been placed on barricades to nearby parking areas, which had filled up.
Other rangers were posted at other potentially dangerous areas throughout the 36,000-acre park to keep visitors away from rocks and cliffs, said West. But he added, "You can't be everywhere."
A little after noon, a huge wave crashed into the shore, causing the three to be sucked out to sea. The Coast Guard responded shortly after a call from rangers and dispatched a boat and two aircraft.
