Course Overview
Physiology is the study of the body's functional mechanisms and their underlying regulation. As such the discipline spans from the molecular level to the level of the whole organism. The Human Physiology Course is divided into several blocks including Body Fluids & Compartments, Membranes & Transport, Acid-Base Balance, Muscle, Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, Renal, Gastrointestinal, and Endocrine systems. Lectures, problem-solving sessions, and small-group sessions featuring Problem-Based Learning all are geared to help you learn and apply physiologic principles to the understanding of pathophysiology. Clinical problems and cases are an integral part of the course and the course also coordinates with the Foundations in Medicine and Clinical Diagnosis courses to further illustrate and practice clinical applications of physiology. Teaching faculty come from the Departments of Medicine and Pharmacology as well as from the Department of Physiology.
Course Goals and Objectives
Students should be able to:
- Explain physiological mechanisms by applying basic principles of physics and chemistry.
- Describe the fundamental mechanisms underlying normal function of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems of the human body, commensurate with the requirements for a physician providing primary care to patients.
- Explain the basic mechanisms of homeostasis by integrating the functions of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
- Apply knowledge of functional mechanisms and their regulation to explain the pathophysiology underlying common diseases.
- Effectively solve basic problems in Physiology and Pathophysiology, working independently and in groups.
- Identify and utilize appropriate reference resources to clarify and expand knowledge of Physiology and Pathophysiology.

Southern Bolivia
The last thing I remember I was sitting in the Cross Keys pub in Cusco with Anton and Becky sampling their (justly renowned) Pisco Sours, Anton twisting my arm, saying 'shall we have the other half of this then?', and now I'm about a 1,533.4 km`s as crow flies, south in Tarija, which is in the S E of the country, not too far (8 hrs coach) from the borders with Paraguay and Argentina. Well Peru may seems recent but its a while in time and distance. I said goodbye to Anton and Becky on 10 Jan as they headed NZwards via gastronomic tour of Lima, and LA. Anton had kindly uncomplaingly stepped in as chancellor of the exchequer for me for the last 10 days in Peru after Nat West made the helpful unilateral executive customer focused decision that I couldn't have accesss to any of the money that I'd spent the last year saving. I presume that, as part of that world class outfit RBS, they had found a better use for my money such as investing in importing ice to the Antarctic, sand to Arabia or giving the chief exec a huge pay rise and buying him a sold gold electric arse sratcher. Anyway all was well eventually but their complete indifference and unhelpfulness was amazing. The phrase ´henceforth I would not p*** on them if they were on fire´ comes to mind.
The route from Cusco to here was generally heading gradually south: Puno, which is on the shore of Lake Titicaca, then on to La Paz then on to Cochabamba, then Sucre then here. Bolivian coach stations are quite an experience and although I always try to stay calm usually end up in some degree of stress by the time get on bus. This is fairly typical: I have a ticket for the coach going to wherever, i had 7 hours to wait so had left bag in left luggage (was bit dubious about this but wanted to go into town and really didn`t want to carry heavy bag round), on return to station I have 30 minutes to coach leaving, the station is in turmoil a chaos of coming going shouting, huge parcels etc, the left luggage is obviously now 6 or 7 deep and a free for all, there is no system to storing the luggage its simply chucked randomly whereever there is space. Luckily I had seen where they put it and got it retrieved quite quickly with some sharp elbows. There is no central information display telling you where the coach leaves from. You need to find out. I find out, try and go through the entry to coach parking lot but the guy won`t let me through as I need to check in my bag separately, I do this and return, now the guy tells me I need a separate ticket that costs 1p to leave the station in addition to my coach ticket. I run across crowded station get ticket return and guy lets me through. I then try and locate bus, again there is no information system, your tocket will tell you which bay the bus leaves from but you have to work out from the ten million buses parked several deep in general area of that bay which one is yours. I see a bus in my bay from the right company with the right time written on a sign and get on. I start to calm down and settle when lady gets on a tells me that I`m in her seat, discussion in my broken Spanish ensues from which it emerges that this is a different bus. Its now 7.30 and scramble to get off bus and repeat process convinced bus has now left with my bag on it without me. In fact my bus is running late and hasn`t arrived yet. Its not a total nightmare but´interesting´ and v different for me. I realise most people did this when they were 18-21, which is probably much more sensible..
I only spent a night each in Puno and La Paz to change coaches but spent a week in Cochabamba and 5 days in Sucre and will be here for 3 nights. I wasn`t sure about going to Cochabamba but am v glad I did go. It was a sizeable provincial town with nice squares and plazas, Spring like climate, quietly prosperous and not a lot seemed to happen there which was great. It is known for having good restaurants so my idea of heaven would be after morning coffees a good 3 hour lunch at a really good Italian or steak restaurant, with wine and brandy and pudding and coffee, while reading a book, preferably on a terrace in the sun and the cost would probably be about the same as a day´s congestion charge. In the town they also had a couple of shops selling v nice woolens. Generally about every third shop in Bolivia is selling some sort of textiles and apparently Alpaca wool products, but often not that impressive (this pusuit for perfection is the cross you have to bear as a connosiur). There were a couple of shops run by the local artisan co operatives with really lovely stuff that I got a bit addicted to and kept going back to, so now have too many Alpaca wool presents which I am carrying about with me in hot countries. I imagine I will resolve this practical problem by losing all the things I`ve carefully collected, leaving in bar, coach etc. As fashion cognoscienti you will all of course be aware that cashmere is now extremely passe and Alpaca is the only acceptable wool to be seen in this winter.
In Sucre which is another nice colonial town I took some more Spanish lessons which I had been meaning to do for a while. I did 4 hours a morning for 4 days and really enjoyed it. The company used profits to teach local children English and had a v positive feel to it. I found the classes really useful as a good teacher will be able to identify pretty quickly your weaknessses (obviously not easy for them in my case) and focus on these. As well as the more practical side of teaching as lessons were one to one with a Bolivian in later 20`s early thirties (as it happens a charming and v presentable Senjorita) had many fascinating conversations about UK and Bolivia respectively which might encompass the rise of consumer culture, corruption, the role of turkey in our respective societies, Eva Morales, during which the teacher would gently correct any errors in my speech. These chats were a real highlight of recent travels and really useful.
Tarija where I am now is the centre of the wine producing area which I have to say from v limited tastings is not bad. Again its a nice provincial town with central plaza, pavement cafes etc. I am staying here tonight then planning to head east to Paraguay. I want to catch a boat that goes up the Rio Paraguay into the Paraguayan panatal wetlands north to border with Brazil. Its a 3.5 days boat trip each way and has reputation for being v chaotic and not particularly comfortable but fascinating. However its a bit of a pain in the arse practically to sort so after I`ve writtten this am going to the coach station to try and book the first leg to leave tomorrow. Basically it seems like 8 hours to Paraguay border, dick about there for a bit probably in middle of the night crossing border getting necessary stamps etc catch coach that leaves at unknown time onto Asuncion, capital of Paraguay which takes 16 hours or so then catch coach north to Conception which takes 6 hours, from where the boat leaves. The boat leaves on Tuseday morning apparently but this is all a bit flexible, but seems that you need to be there a couple of days before to sort ticket as there are 20 million people trying to get on. So rssrntiallñy I think I need to get to Conception for Sundayish. Will see how it goes.
By the way its really hot here. I was sitting by the pool this morning (seriously) and had to move into the shade and that was at 9.30 a.m.

Sport Fish Hatchery Enhancement Program Launched
If you've ever fished on a lake in Southcentral or Interior Alaska or in Ship Creek in Anchorage, there is a very good chance that you've caught a fish stocked by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and produced at one of our sport fish hatcheries. Remember the thrill of pulling in that "big one?" As of a few weeks ago, the opportunity to catch that "big one" was in jeopardy. But recent action taken by the Alaska State Legislature will ensure that such sport fishing opportunities are available in Alaska for many years to come.
The two sport fish hatcheries currently owned and operated by ADF&G – both in Anchorage – are over 30 years old and are losing their hot water source this year. "Between their antiquated technology and aging infrastructure, the Anchorage hatcheries have already become inefficient," said Kelly Hepler, ADF&G's Director of Sport Fish. "Now, with the loss of their hot water source, they are becoming ineffective."
The sport fish produced at these two hatcheries – one located on the Fort Richardson Army Base and one on the Elmendorf Air Force Base – are used to stock lake systems all over Alaska. They also generate roughly $45 million annually for Alaska's economy; account for 10-15% of angling effort in Alaska; and reduce fishing pressure on Alaska's wild stocks. "The state's sport fish hatchery program is incredibly important, and we could not have allowed this program to languish."
Thanks to Alaska's lawmakers, the ADF&G's sport fish hatchery program will continue. With the passage of Senate Bill 147, introduced by Senator Ralph Seekins of Fairbanks, ADF&G has been authorized to move forward with plans to launch a statewide enhancement program to build and refurbish sport fish hatchery infrastructure around the state. The legislation allows ADF&G to bond for $69 million to pay for the cost of the enhancements and establishes a surcharge on resident and non-resident sport fishing licenses to repay the bond debt. With this new authorization and a revenue stream to repay the debt, ADF&G will launch a new statewide enhancement program in 2006 that is designed to meet current and future production demands.
Under the program, ADF&G will begin construction of a brand new sport fish hatchery in Fairbanks. The hatchery will produce hundreds of thousands of rainbow trout, grayling, arctic char, and salmon for stocking in Alaska's Interior lakes. The hatchery, which will cost roughly $25 million ($10 million of which is federal funding), will include an information and education center for visitors and a research space for the University of Alaska. The hatchery should be completed and operating by the end of calendar year 2008.
ADF&G will also undertake construction of a second and larger brand new sport fish hatchery at the site of one of our already-existing hatcheries in Anchorage. At the cost of $45 million, this hatchery will produce millions of rainbow trout, grayling, arctic char, and salmon for stocking in lakes and some streams in and around Southcentral Alaska. This hatchery should also be online by the end of calendar year 2008.
Finally, ADF&G will spend roughly $5.5 million in sport fish hatchery-related enhancements in Southeast Alaska. These enhancements will include operational funding for the Crystal Lake Hatchery in Petersburg, Alaska; a possible sport fish hatchery in Skagway, Alaska; and additional enhancements in Haines and Skagway, Alaska to establish salmon runs.
To fund this program, ADF&G will issue revenue bonds and a new surcharge will be placed on resident and non-resident sport fishing licenses beginning in January 2006. The surcharge will vary for each license category as follows:
Resident Sport Fishing
Resident Sport Fishing/Hunting
Resident Fishing/Hunting/Trapping
Nonresident Military Sport Fishing
Nonresident Military Fishing/Small Game
Nonresident 1-day Sport Fishing
Nonresident 3-day Sport Fishing
Nonresident 7-day Sport Fishing
Nonresident 14-day Sport Fishing
Nonresident Annual Sport Fishing
The surcharge was structured in order to generate just over $6 million in new revenue annually – the same amount as the annual debt service on the bond. The surcharge will terminate when the bond debt is completely repaid.
So, whether you are an Alaskan or just visiting Alaska, it is going to cost you more to go sport fishing in Alaska. But the cost is worth it to preserve some of the best sport fishing in the country. With your support, we can ensure that future generations of Alaskans and visitors to Alaska also have the opportunity to catch that "big one."

(JTA) — A Torah scroll stolen from a Phoenix synagogue was returned.
The Torah, as well as a prayer shawl and tefillin, was returned Oct. 29 to the Young Israel of Phoenix by a woman who answered a Craigslist ad placed by a member of the synagogue offering a $500 reward for the scroll and no questions asked, CNN's Belief Blog reported.
The woman said she found the religious items in a trash can and returned the Torah, which was stolen last week, in time for Friday night services.
She has not claimed the reward, according to the CNN blog.
The Torah is valued at $35,000.
It was the third time that security at the synagogue had been breached since February.

The Story of Jeff Buckley's Only Album, the Transcendent 'Grace'
Subscribe to Diffuser.fm on
Prior to the release of his debut album, Grace, on Aug. 23, 1994, not many people outside of New York City knew who Jeff Buckley was. Sure, some people picked up 1993's Live at Sine-é EP, but for the most part if you weren't one of those lucky enough to seem him on the New York club scene Buckley simply wasn't on your radar.
Honestly, even after Grace was released, few regular people noticed. The same can't be said for fellow musicians, however, who were quick to recognize one of their own. A lifelong Led Zeppelin fan, Buckley must have been thrilled to know that one of his greatest influences admired his work. "With Led Zeppelin, everything was out of tune, and [Robert] Plant sang wrong notes," the singer told Interview in '94. "But he was the one that showed me that there aren't any wrong notes."
Over the next few years, a confluence of events both glorious and tragic transformed Grace from low-selling cult favorite to multi-platinum mainstay of "greatest album" lists. When Buckley disappeared in Memphis's Wolf River during a spontaneous, fully clothed evening swim in May 1997, writers elevated him to the tragic martyr category of brilliant musicians taken away too soon. Suddenly Buckley was an unappreciated, tragic genius like Nick Drake, worthy of major column inches.
His backstory was just too good: the son of Tim Buckley, another musical genius who died too young. However, Jeff only met his birth father once, two months before the elder Buckley overdosed. Raised as self-professed "white trash" in Southern California, Jeff reinvented himself in New York's clubs, and then it was all over before he could finish a second album.
The other factor in the rise of Buckley wasn't biographical, but came rather courtesy of American Idol, of all things. After a 2008 contestant's recitation of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," judges Simon and Randy cited Buckley's as their favorite version of the song, and downloads soared. Years after its release, Grace was finally being discovered by a mass audience.
Buckley's version is less Leonard Cohen and more John Cale, whose version first appeared on a 1991 Cohen tribute album. Although Cohen's original is steeped in religious imagery, Buckley's interpretation was sexual according to the singer.
"Whoever listens carefully to 'Hallelujah' will discover that it is a song about sex, about love, about life on earth," he told Dutch magazine OOR. "The hallelujah is not a homage to a worshiped person, idol or god, but the hallelujah of the orgasm. It's an ode to life and love. The 'Carol' is a fairy tale about a falcon who takes the beloved of the singer to an orchard. The singer goes looking for her and arrives at a chamber where his beloved lies next to a bleeding knight and a tomb with Christ's body in it."
"Hallelujah" is one of three covers on Grace. "Corpus Christi Carol" extended the thread of religious imagery, but Nina Simone's "Lilac Wine" was planted firmly in the secular world of romance. The original is beautiful, but Buckley's remake is heart-achingly beautiful. Delicate moments like these typify Grace, but Buckley was equally capable of airing it out, too. "Eternal Life" rocked as hard as any track of the post-grunge mid-'90s.
Perhaps the finest moment on Grace served as the album's second single. Buckley claimed in interviews that he wasn't a strong songwriter, but "Last Goodbye" is a showcase of his innumerable gifts. The lyrics capture his sad, romantic sensibility ("This is our last goodbye / I hate to feel the love between us die / But it's over"), but they're also tea leaves for the critics looking for the "missing father" narrative ("Why can't we overcome this wall / Well, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.") Finally, the melancholy among us can hear a swan song here, a farewell note from an artist we didn't get to until he was already gone. But most importantly, "Last Goodbye" showcases that voice — soaring, joyous, majestic.
So do we love Jeff Buckley, or is it the legend of Jeff Buckley that appeals to us? Maybe both, but without question the man possessed enormous talent and Grace is a brilliant album. If tragedy hadn't struck that day on the river, he'd still be with us and the album would still be brilliant. If Tim Buckley never entered (and exited) his backstory, the album would still be brilliant. Because it's all about that voice and that music, and both were magical.
Although Buckley is gone, fans can still connect with his memory and his music. In July 2016, Legacy Recordings launched a website that allows you to scroll through his record collection and learn about and listen to the music that inspired Grace.

Just an addendum to what I've posted:
PD got claim on lolBehemoth yesterday. I'd be happy about this if I wasn't so distracted by my lottery winnings that I can't enjoy, thanks to the lightning strikes and shark bites. ; ;
I suppose I shouldn't be so pessimistic, because claim can be had, and maybe not so rare as I've led myself to believe.

As seen from space, the Arctic ice cap looks and acts like a giant amoeba splayed across the top of the world. It heaves and twists, reaches outward, then shrinks back.
"It's constantly in motion," says David Barber, while a time-lapse sequence of polar satellite images plays across his computer screen.
The more scientists study the sea ice that floats atop the Arctic Ocean, the more it resembles something that lives and breathes, a dynamic membrane that hosts microbial communities, fosters chemical reactions and connects air with water in surprising ways.
"It's not just a cap, it's an active participant in the system," says Dr. Barber, who is director of the University of Manitoba's Centre for Earth Observation Science. "That has global implications."
Those implications matter to marine life, planetary weather patterns, human health and northern development – more than enough reason for the Arctic sea ice to warrant scientific attention. It has also motivated a major expansion at the centre, backed by a $10-million Canada Excellence Research Chair and $48-million in additional funding. The centre now has more than 100 scientists, graduate students and technicians, making it the world's largest research group focused on sea ice.
But even as the centre celebrates the opening of $15-million, state-of-the-art laboratory facilities next week – including custom freezers, where sea ice can be grown under carefully controlled conditions, and a remote-controlled submersible that can explore and sample the environment under the ice – a sense of urgency about the Arctic pervades the effort.
"It's the part of the planet which is realizing the first and the fastest response to climate change," says Tim Papakyriakou, one of the centre's scientists who specializes in carbon transfer between ocean and atmosphere. "This system that we had a poor understanding of before is now changing very, very fast."
While ice over the Arctic Ocean always grows in winter and retreats during the summer, its minimum extent, typically measured in September, is on a downward trend. Last year it hit a record low, dipping to 3.41 million square kilometres. It now looks like the Arctic will become ice free during the summer some time between 2015 and 2030.
Climate models predict a decline in sea ice as the planet warms, but nowhere near this fast. Understanding why the ice is vanishing so quickly is at the top of Dr. Barber's agenda. Part of the answer, he says, has to do with the simple fact that water is darker than ice and absorbs more sunlight than it reflects. The more open ocean there is in the Arctic, the more solar energy is deposited there during the summer. At the onset of winter, this extra energy must be dissipated as heat before new ice can form, a process that can last well into December.
But Dr. Barber also sees a similar pattern in January and February. There is still more open ocean during those months than there was in the past, even though the High Arctic is in winter darkness during those months and excess solar energy should not be a factor.
Dr. Barber believes he has identified another influence contributing to the disappearance of the sea ice: Atlantic water entering the Arctic system via the Gulf Stream. It's warmer and more buoyant than it used to be, which means it's welling up under the sea ice and melting it from below.
"We're losing more ice than we thought we were, but it's an ocean heat source," he says.
But converting such a sweeping change into an accurate prediction for the future also requires an intimate understanding of the sea ice at small scales. Ice that forms in different conditions of temperature and salinity, with more or less air content, will respond differently to environmental change. Biology also plays a role, as microbes colonize the ice, secreting chemicals such as sugars and also changing the amount of solar energy the ice absorbs.
"All of these things have to be taken into account," says Nadja Steiner, a research scientist with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, based in Sidney, B.C.Report Typo/Error

Madison right back in the fold with Steelers
Anthony Madison re-signed with the Steelers on Tuesday, and the cornerback and special teams standout worked out at the team's South Side practice facility. Madison, who has spent time with the Steelers every season since 2006, is expected to play in Denver. Cornerback Cortez Allen likely is out because of a separated shoulder.
Allen has been playing the gunner position on the punt coverage team, and the Steelers are "a little thin at gunner-like bodies," coach Mike Tomlin said. "This is a guy that taught quite a few of our players around here how to play the position, so we're very comfortable having him back in the fold,"
Tomlin said. Madison took the place of running back Rashard Mendenhall on the 53-man roster. The Steelers placed Mendenhall on injured reserve a day after an MRI confirmed that he had torn the ACL in his right knee.
> > Tomlin said quarterback Ben Roethlisberger may be limited early this week in practice because of his left high-ankle sprain, but that the injury won't affect his availability for Sunday. Cornerback Keenan Lewis (hamstring) and tight end David Johnson (elbow) also are nursing minor injuries. Lewis left the game Sunday with a tender hamstring, and he underwent an MRI as a precaution.
"Very little or no damage," Tomlin said. "We anticipate him being fine."
> > Isaac Redman has become the Steelers' No. 1 running back, and Tomlin said he has no concerns with any aspect of Redman's game. Redman lost two fumbles in a 13-9 win at Cleveland on Sunday, though it was the first game in which he has fumbled this season.
"We're very comfortable with his ball security and how he runs," Tomlin said.

Cowboys' Jones wants more teams in NFL postseason
Updated 11:15 pm, Friday, January 3, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — With his team in the midst of a four-year playoff drought, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants the NFL to expand the playoffs.
"It just creates that much more excitement and that much more interest for people in those communities," Jones said in an interview Friday with the team's flagship radio station.
For the third straight season, the Cowboys missed the playoffs after finishing 8-8 with a loss to a division foe in a do-or-die season finale.
"The fact you can have a team that might have literally operated at .500 percent or in that area, who won half its ballgames, you can have that team win the Super Bowl," Jones said. "That makes a big case for adding a couple more cities or communities that have NFL teams to the playoff mix."
Romo's surgery 'not dramatic': Jones reiterated his belief that the back surgery Tony Romo underwent Dec. 27 won't sideline the quarterback for an extended period.
Jones said the day of the surgery he believed Romo would be ready for the team's organized team activities in May. On Friday, Jones continued to express optimism.
Sports Channel
"He got the kind of immediate relief you would want him to get," Jones said. "And, as I've said, the nature of his injury and the nature of what it took to repair it was not dramatic. It was not something that would give you concern on a going-forward basis, so all thumbs are up on Tony."
It was the second time in eight months Romo has undergone back surgery. He also had back surgery in April 2013 to remove a cyst.
Extra points: Left tackle Tyron Smith was named to the second-team All-Pro team. ... Special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia interviewed Friday for the Washington Redskins' head coaching vacancy. ... Jones declined to comment on reports that defensive line coach Rod Marinelli could be interested in the defensive coordinator's job at Tampa Bay. ... In a recent interview with Fox Sports Net Southwest's "Icons of Coaching," former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson said Jones has told him he will eventually be installed in the Ring of Honor.
The Dallas Morning News contributed to this report.

I noticed that too,, I was thinking is it me or does Tinsley usually not wear one....Originally Posted by Jon Theodore
Why Not Us ?
he looked like a mini dale davis out there.
he seemed to play well with it.
Our whole starting line up needs to put one on.

Tinsley wore a headband last year too most of the time.
can we get a picture?

I don't remember seeing Tins wearing a headband hardly at all last season. I will go look for some pics on Pacers.com.
I went through the Pacers 04-05 galleries and didn't see one of JT with a headband. There were only 11 pics in his gallery.
3 of our big 4 played well last night. Damn wish jackson had a good game. But I guess its better than all of them get some good games in rather than 3 play well the whole time.
that is the essence of the pacers, if Sjack is off...you can expec either tins/ron/jo to be on...or any combinaton of all them.
And lets not forget our sick bench, I mean what up Bender.
Tinsley never wore a headband while playing in an NBA game.
Edit: Here's an old picture of him wearing one:
He played awfully well wearing those big 91-7-1 wristbands last year. Maybe he should to accessorize more often.......
yea...Jtins wears them every once in awhile
i remember he used to be one that wore them over his ears at times
I'm afraid to ask what a "jonk" is.Originally Posted by vapacersfan
Thanks for the pic magic rat!
I've always wondered what JONK was too...

Apple has reported second-quarter earnings that beat analyst expectations, but has disappointed Wall Street with its outlook for the June quarter. The maker of the iPhone reported $43.6bn in revenues and earnings of $10.09 per share, compared with analyst expectations of $42.5bn and $10.07 in earnings per share. Its guidance for $33.5bn to $35.5bn in third-quarter sales though is well below the Wall Street consensus of $38.9bn. Apple has also increased its share buyback authorisation from $10bn to $60bn. Below is our blow-by-blow account of the earnings, analyst call and reaction to the news.

Jason Marsalis
|1990s 2000s
4 March 1977, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. The youngest of the four sons of Ellis Marsalis, Jason began playing drums as a small child. Intensely schooled and with astonishing sibling role models, he quickly established himself as an independent force. He has recorded with his father, his brother Delfeayo Marsalis, Marcus Printup, and as leader and co-leader of his own groups. Marsalis influences range from bop masters such as Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane and Max Roach to include fusion (Weather Report), Latin (Tito Puente), and bluegrass-based music (Bela Fleck). Marsalis effortlessly glides from one musical format to another. He can be heard playing propulsively but subtly in a regular piano/bass/drums trio led by his father, jazz rock fusion with Neslort, salsa with the Brazilian percussion group Casa Samba, or as leader of his own post bop group. He also recorded with Los Hombres Calientes, the Afro-Cuban group that first made its impact at the New...

The Apple Certified Technical Coordinator (ACTC) Exams are now available. Since the brutal murder of the ACSA, the ACTC is now Apple's highest level of certification. The server is much easier, but somehow many of the questions are a little harder than they were. Overall, I felt the exam was a great gauge of technical know-how, even if there were a couple somewhat esoteric questions. Anyway, click below to open the Apple IT Certification page:
If you have a 10.7 ACTC then the 10.8 combo updater can be taken. If you qualify for said exam, you should have gotten an email with a special code to use on the IBT Prometric site. If so, you have a single 2 hour, 76 question exam as opposed to two, and you can take them from the comfort of your own home. First, you have to pinky swear not to cheat. To register for an exam, go to training.apple.com/locations.

I finally got around to taking that Final Cut Server exam this week. It was pretty straight forward. I think there is definitely a methodology to writing exams. I wrote a few for Brainbench and because their structure was extremely laid out really got to learn a lot about the methodology to writing questions. I liked the fact that Apple is adding more and more questions where you click on the appropriate item on a screenshot, I look forward to scenario simulations. Microsoft exams mostly require you to get at least one simulator correct in order to pass the exam, some vendors have gone to simulation-only, but the closest Apple has gotten is click on the appropriate location on the screen… As is true with all vendor certifications there were a couple of questions that were more marketing than anything else. This is to be expected and honestly healthy in verifying that you know how to talk about and position a product. But I do think there should be less room for error in each question. There were at least 4 questions where multiple answers were potentially correct and while it didn't say choose the closest answer you were left doing so.
Anyway, I passed with plenty of breathing room, so woo-hoo!!! I think that brings 318 close to 10 people certified with Final Cut Server now, which I feel is a pretty darn healthy number. If you need to take that exam then you should strongly consider Matt Geller's book on Final Cut Server. It's going to be some good preparation material!

Key Stage 5-
Sociology requires open minds, critical thinkers, good organisation skills, and independent learners. The subject is constantly updating and as well as looking at 19th century sociologists, we also analyse up to date studies and current affairs, as well as students conducting their own research in topic 2. Assessment is by two external examinations at the end of Year 12 for AS Level, and three at the end of Year 13 should it be taken to A Level.
1 - Families and Households
This module includes studying the relationship of the family to social structure and social change; changing patterns of marriage, cohabitation, separation, divorce and the life course; gender roles; changing status of childhood; and demographic trends since 1900.
2 - Education with Research Methods
This module includes studying explanations of the role and purpose of education; sociological explanations of differential educational achievements of social groups by class, gender, and ethnicity; relationships and processes in schools such as subcultures and the
hidden curriculum; educational policies; and sociological research methods.
3 - Beliefs in Society
This module includes studying different theories of religion, sociological explanations of the purpose and role of religion, religious organisations, religions and social groups, and the debate of secularisation.
4 - Crime and Deviance with Research Methods and Theory
This module includes studying theories of crime and deviance; explanations of the social distribution of crime and deviance trends; contemporary issues in the sociology of crime such as effects of globalisation and the mass media; sociological views of the criminal justice system, and the study of research methods and theory.
Students are expected to do much work outside of the classroom, ranging from writing essays, to note taking, or research. They are asked to do the following:
- Write up and expand on notes made in class
- Prepare and write essays
- Read around the subjects/topics being studied
- Use the library, for access to a wider range of material
A qualification in Sociology can lead to a number of careers, such as teaching, law, journalism, business, politics, public relations, social work, nursing, media work and science. Due to the fact that sociology is accepted as both an arts subject and a science subject, it has the advantage of being flexible in the work place.
This course requires students to complete extended essays and so a Grade B or above in English Language GCSE is required.

A POPULAR music festival at a pub in Stokenchurch was held for the tenth and final time.
The Fleur De Lis started FleurFest by putting on a hog roast and a band, but it has steadily grown over the years.
At the last FleurFest on July 26 about 3,000 people attended and there were eight bands performing.
But landlady Nicola Nuthall, who runs the pub with her partner, Andy Wimbush, said that will be the last one.
She said: "It is a big event to organise. Because we do it for free we don't particularly make any profit out of it.
"We wanted to do our ten years to say we have been here ten years.
"It has been great fun. I like doing stuff with the community any way. I am from Stokenchurch- I was born here."
Nicola said as the event is held on common land next to the pub, there is nothing to stop people bringing their own alcohol.
The festival was usually held on fête day, which is where it all began but this year it was held a bit later.
Nicola said: "This is the first year we haven't done it on the same day as the fête.
"We had to get a special licence this year for the amount of people. It took extra time to get that sorted.
"It started off as a bit of a jolly and turned into tons and tons of paperwork."
She said they would love to do it again one day.
Nicola added: "We wanted to go out in style. It was a very pleasant day for everybody."

Nursing Home Residents Recreate Famous Movie Scenes (Because You're Never Too Old To Play Dress-Up)
Here's proof that you're never, ever too old to play dress-up: a group of senior citizens at a nursing home in Germany recently recreated 12 iconic movie scenes for a photo calendar. The residents, who ranged in age from 75 to 98 got all dolled up as James Bond, Holly Golightly, and, of course, Jack and Rose. The calendar was produced as a gift for the residents and their families, and is not for sale. Too bad, because I would totally buy one! After the jump, check out a few more snaps of senior citizens acting out classic scenes from "Breakfast At Tiffany's," "Rocky," and "The Seven Year Itch"…

Most people have at least one sport that they simply love. Perhaps they played it at some point or still play the sport for fun. On the other hand, many people have favorite sports that they have never played themselves in their lives; this often happens when a person is raised to love a specific sports team by family or friends. Regardless, there is no denying the power of a person's love for sports or a particular sports team. Those looking for a great gift for such a person in their own lives may wish to look into purchasing them some sports collectibles. Furthermore, those who already have their own sports memorabilia collections can always treat themselves to a new addition.
There are a number of sports that are known for having fans who collect memorabilia from specific teams. The NFL football league is probably known for having some of the most diehard fans, though the MLB is also popular when it comes to collectibles. The National Hockey League [NHL], National Basketball Association [NBA], NASCAR, college football, and other leagues also have their own niches of collectors, however.
There are all kinds of collectibles to choose from that can make wonderful gifts to a loved one or even to oneself. One of the most popular types of collectibles are autographed, game-used items. For example, a football helmet signed by a famous quarterback or a baseball signed by one's favorite pitcher can be a great gift. On the other hand, items that were actually used in important games are also quite popular as collector's items. A football helmet worn during a superbowl, a game-winning puck from a hockey match, or even a baseball from a World-Series winning home run can all be huge collector's items.
It is also quite common for diehard fans of particular athletes to collect sporting memorabilia from that particular player throughout his or her career. Rookie cards, equipment, signed photographs, and other collectibles are very popular among today's biggest sports stars.
When shopping for sports collectibles, it is important to have peace of mind in knowing that one's purchases are authentic and guaranteed. There are many websites out there that sell these collectibles, but making sure a site is reliable before buying from it is important. One example of a website that can be trusted for guaranteed authentic sporting collectibles and other items can be found by those who click here.

The bust-up came after a heated national executive committee (NEC) meeting on Monday at which the governing party's fault lines were brutally exposed.
This week saw numerous senior party leaders taking a public stand in the ANC's election race.
» President Jacob Zuma unofficially launched his "second term" campaign at the party's centenary lecture in Johannesburg on Friday.
» Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe showed his hand during a speech at Liliesleaf in Johannesburg on Thursday by questioning the "second transition", a policy proposal being pushed by Zuma and his supporters.
» On Friday, expelled ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema said Zuma's presidency was a "terrible mistake" and he should be voted out at the ANC's Mangaung conference in December.
» At Monday's NEC meeting, Zuma faced a "rebellion", with party leaders accusing him of being "dictatorial".
» Zuma reshuffled his Cabinet on Tuesday, apparently emboldened by the NEC's decision not to review Malema's expulsion.
The scuffle between Yengeni and Nzimande, SACP general secretary and Zuma's closest lieutenant, was confirmed by at least two NEC members who witnessed the incident. Read more…

Cop in extortion case waives hearing
Updated 10:14 pm, Wednesday, January 16, 2013
A police officer accused of taking a $500 payment from a man in exchange for not filing drug charges won't challenge probable cause in his arrest.
Officer Curtis W. Lundy's lawyers, Alan Brown and Jay Norton, on Wednesday waived his preliminary hearing.
That means prosecutors and the FBI won't have to put on a case to try to persuade U.S. Magistrate Judge John Primomo they had probable cause to arrest Lundy on Jan. 3.
Prosecutors are preparing his case to present it to a grand jury for formal indictment, and might change the current charge of theft of honest services by wire fraud.
News Channel
Lundy was arrested after a joint investigation by the FBI and SAPD.
He has been released on a personal recognizance bond, but court records show agents have obtained warrants to search his home computer, his locker at the North Substation, his patrol car, his personal vehicle and other property.
The warrants said agents were seeking evidence of other graft.
"When the rest of the story comes out, it's going to be explainable," Brown said.
Lundy is on administrative leave with pay.
Officials said the investigation against Lundy moved quickly after a man called the SAPD internal affairs unit and the FBI.
The man told the FBI that Lundy was one of three officers who responded to an assault call Dec. 15 at the Salado Crossing Apartments, where the man had gotten into an argument with someone else, according to a federal arrest warrant affidavit.
After he admitted having a small amount of marijuana in his car, the man said Lundy detained him and told him he could "help him out" by not filing possession charges if he got $400 in return, according to the affidavit.
The man told Lundy he didn't have the money on him but that he could provide it by Jan. 2.
He was allowed to leave and later received phone calls from a blocked number concerning the payment, which had gone up to $500, the affidavit says.
The agencies said they worked together to set up a surveillance team to track Lundy after he told the man to meet with him at Loop 410 and San Pedro Avenue.
Authorities gave the man a recording device and marked bills for the payoff, which was monitored, the affidavit says.

Connected Components Accelerator Toolkit cuts design time and cost, optimizes control performance
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 29, 2012 — Rockwell Automation introduces the Connected Components Accelerator Toolkit (CCAT), a bundled, one-stop solution that simplifies and expedites complete, cost-effective, small-machine control design and implementation. The CCAT combines a simple, yet powerful controller with a full suite of compatible components and class-leading application development tools that enable OEMs to focus engineering and development resources on creating compelling and differentiating machine features.
The CCAT speeds the basic, common design functions that every machine design requires. By providing this functionality, the CCAT allows the OEMs to invest their design work in developing better, more competitive machines. The CCAT's pre-configured Building Blocks include automation engineering design tools for comprehensive control application development from layout and component selection to troubleshooting. For example:
Connected Components Workbench software from Rockwell Automation supports the CCAT. Based on proven Rockwell Automation and Microsoft Visual Studio technology, the single, easy-to-acquire-and-install package simplifies controller programming, device configuration, and data sharing with the HMI editor for Allen-Bradley PanelView component products. The software makes it convenient and cost-effective for machine builders and end users to leverage a single platform that also supports other Allen-Bradley component-class devices, including drives, motion control and operator interface products.

Italy is home to some of our favourite things; pizza, Prosecco, pasta and of course Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi and Prada.
The country is undisputedly one of the fashion centres of the world and now its leading design names are set to be celebrated with a major exhibition at the Victoria & Albert in London which will feature more than 100 stunning ensembles created between the Second World War and today.
"Italian fashion is a story of rags to riches almost, as the post-war country recovers and becomes a key place for manufacture, design and entrepreneurial risk-taking that cuts right across businesses," said curator Sonnet Stanfill. "This is the compelling story which we describe in the exhibition."
We'll have to wait until April next year to head to the exhibition, but to celebrate the announcement we've taken a look at some of our fashion highlights from la bella Italia.
Missoni prints
The trademark Missoni striped and geometric-print knits are a firm favourite with fashion forward celebs like Cameron Diaz, Blake Lively and Nicole Kidman and have spawned a thousand imitations on the high street.
Fendi Baguette
Fendi's most iconic handbag has been seen on the arm of pretty much everyone with an ounce of fashion influence since it was launched in 1997. It was arguably the first 'It bag' with a waiting list a mile long.
Versace's red carpet looks
When certain celebs want to wow on the red carpet, there's only one designer they head to, Versace. The design house was responsible for the green chiffon dress Jennifer Lopez wore at the Grammy Awards in 2000, that safety pin dress worn by Liz Hurley and the black strapless number Beyonce wore to the Oscars in 2005.
Prada's flame heels
Possibly one of the wittiest shoe designs ever, Prada's flame heels from the spring/summer 12 collection will go down in fashion history. These shoes were so hot they were on fire, with a graphic cut-out flame running along the outer heel and on the ankle strap.
Roberto Cavalli's excess
We know that the minimal look is very chic and stylish, but sometimes we just want to have fun with fashion, which is exactly what Roberto Cavalli does. He never shies away from animal print, gold embellishments, leather and brocade, which means his clothes are always interesting to see on the red carpet.

'X Factor' phenom and her brother talk music, TV and being No. 1

If she were like most 13-year-olds, Carly Rose Sonenclar might have given her brother, Russ, a card for his 19th birthday last week.
But Carly, the Mamaroneck musical phenom who is taking "The X Factor" by storm, is not like most 13-year-olds. Instead, she put him on national TV and sang to him.
Last Wednesday, she dedicated her performance of "Over the Rainbow" to Russ, a University of Delaware sophomore who showed up in Los Angeles unexpectedly and was in the packed house on national TV when Carly brought the audience to its feet.
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MaBoybiG_2o" frameborder="0″ width="560″ height="315″></iframe>
Then, on Thursday, she learned that she had won the week for the first time, garnering the most votes in a nationwide tally, over country-singing dad (and perennial No. 1) Tate Stevens and the other six acts still in the competition.
On Friday, the Sonenclars – parents Bob and Terri, and Carly and Russ – celebrated a belated Thanksgiving in Los Angeles. On Saturday, Russ and Carly called me to catch up, after an eventful week.
Russ, who was president of the Rye Neck High School Class of 2011, is pursuing a double major in communications and business at Delaware.
"I want to do something in the world of social-media and marketing," he told me. "I dream of having my own start-up company."
As her de-facto personal social-media manager, Russ announced proudly that Carly, who began the whole "X Factor" journey with fewer than 1,000 followers, is now more than 250,000.
"I hope to sign her as my first client," he joked. "I think we'll be able to work it out."
Seeing Carly rise on "The X Factor," he says, has been "pretty surreal."
"Being out here and getting to spend some time with her and seeing what goes on backstage, it definitely made it more like real life, but it's still, overall, pretty crazy."
Add to that the fact that she sang a personal song to him, in front of millions on TV, and the crazy factor is ratcheted up a bit, said Russ, who also sings and plays guitar and drums.
"I've heard her sing for years, but to have it dedicated to me and to see the reaction of of millions of people from all over the world made it really awesome for me," he said.
Last Thursday's show also included a very emotional exit by New Jersey 13-year-old Beatrice Miller, who wept through her final song and was devastated at being sent home. I asked Russ if seeing that made him worry about how Carly might handle being sent home.
"To be honest with you, at this point, I'm not too worried about what happens with the show," he said. "The benefits she has gotten and the publicity she's been able to have from the show has been so valuable, whether she comes in eighth place or first place at this point it doesn't matter. I know she'll have great success in whatever she pursues."
She's still pretty level-headed, her brother said, joking that he tries to keep her that way through "physical power."
"We try to keep it all in perspective and appreciate everything we have and how fortunate we are."
When Carly got on the line, she talked about being last week's top vote-getter, after weeks being runner-up to Stevens.
"It was pretty crazy having Tate and me be the top two again," she said. "When we walked up to Khloe and Mario, we were both laughing."
She talked about how last week's song — "Over the Rainbow" — was chosen:
"The Sony people and the producers came in with a list and then Britney came in with a list, but 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' wasn't on it. It was with the Sony people. When we were going through the songs and we happened upon that one, we just stopped. We didn't even keep going because we knew that that was the one.
"Then, weirdly, (the Sony people) got a call from Britney who didn't know that we were looking at it and she said we should work on 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' and we were like 'Oh, we already did.' At that point, we knew it was the song."
It's a song first sung by Judy Garland when she was a teen-ager, in "The Wizard of Oz," so perhaps Garland was looking down on the 13-year-old?
"That's what I like to think," Carly said.
Carly offered a glimpse into her work week out west, far from Rye Neck High School, where she's an eighth-grader.
On Saturday, she worked a few hours, but normally, it's "about waking up early and working on songs or choreography or getting filmed for reality" (those moments when the acts are kicking back and talking about their hopes and dreams, or dedicating their songs). "There are tons of different things to do, like school or, at the house we're staying in, there'll be a camera crew there to do reality or the vocals there.
"Usually as it gets closer to Wednesday, we'll start to do choreography and soundchecks and camera blocking."
When we spoke on Saturday, she hadn't yet heard which song she'll sing tonight.
"We're going to find out this afternoon," she said.
The schedule gives her just four days to perfect every aspect of her performance.
She said Miller's emotional exit didn't really register with her when she was on the set, but when she watched it later on TV, it really hit home.
"When it was happening, it was extremely sad, but it was hard to really watch it and see her, even though she was near us. Seeing her after, she was just so defeated and it was hard to see her like that. And watching it back, it was just awful. I couldn't look at her without starting to cry."
She doesn't worry about how she might handle being sent home.
"This experience has been so great. No matter what happens from this point I think that something will come from this. I think it has gone so well that I hope someone will say 'I think she deserves to go somewhere.' It would very hard to leave all this, but I'd know that I'd had a great run and it's been such a great thing."
The two remaining teens are Carly and Diamond White, who was voted off, but then brought back for the live shows.
As for their mentor, Britney Spears, Carly says the star's advice that has stayed with her is to always be confident.
She said she misses her friends and "I kind of miss school. Not working, but being there."
As for why the show identifies the Mamaroneck teen as being from "Westchester, NY," it's "for safety reasons," she says.
On Dec. 20, the competition will be over and the winner will be offered a $5 million recording contract.
But Carly is taking it one week at a time.
And her week starts tonight, with another performance at 8 p.m. on Fox.
Here's hoping co-hosts Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian Odom have studied up on the last name of Westchester's singing sensation. They've had their problems pronouncing Carly's last name: Kardashian Odom routinely calls Carly "Sonaclar," while Lopez called her "Sonenblerg" last week.
"We had a laugh about that," Russ said. "It was too funny."
