Milwaukee man's death brings campaign in Madison
Family calls for action after 22-year-old died in police car
MADISON, Wis. - The meeting started with a dance, followed by a sermon, a poem, and a series of guest speakers.
Some speakers mentioned faith, which went well with the setting. However, most of the talk in Zion International Church in Madison was about Derek Williams.
Williams's great aunt Maeleen Jordan snapped photos and videos the entire evening as his mom and sister sat to the side.
Jordan and the family had driven to Madison from Milwaukee to spread their message and to tell the story of her nephew's death.
"If we can help a family today or anybody get justice for a fight like we're fighting, our family, that's why we're here, to put the word out," Jordan said.
The 22-year-old Milwaukee man died in July 2011 after struggling in the back of a police cruiser. The dashboard camera video from that night shows Williams handcuffed in the backseat, audibly gasping for breath and begging the officers for help.
Officers and paramedics administered CPR, but Williams eventually died on the scene.
The medical examiner initially said Williams died of natural causes, but later ruled his death as a homicide.
Speakers at Saturday's meeting in Madison said Williams suffered a broken collar bone, a result of police beating him before he was put in the car. The speakers said that injury suffocated him to death for eight minutes.
Special prosecutor John Franke announced his plans last month to consider felony reckless homicide charges for the officers involved in the incident. The inquest to jurors, which will determine what actually caused Williams's death and whether or not an officer can be charged, is set to begin Monday.18486318
"Any human being with any compassion for life, I can't see come back without a guilty verdict," Jordan said.
While the discussions in Madison focused on racial disparities and police brutality, event organizer Dan Suarez said he couldn't ignore the links to the recent officer-involved fatal shooting in Madison.
Paul Heenan was shot and killed by Madison police officer Stephen Heimsness last fall on the east side of the city.
Heenan's family and friends weren't able to make Saturday's gathering, but Suarez said there have been conversations with them about Williams's campaign coming to Madison.
"Heenan is part of this," Suarez said. "We're all part of this together, and the only way that we can beat it is together."
The FBI had already launched a civil rights investigation for Williams's case back in November.
Jordan said the only thing that could bring her nephew justice is seeing the officers involved in the incident fired from the force.
"I can't see where it's fair for us to be punished in a court of law when they're not punished period," Jordan said.

By Robbie Ward/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Planing for a major upgrade for emergency communication, the Lee County Board of Supervisors intends to spend up to $8.5 million to replace existing 911 communication radios used countywide, an action requiring a modest tax increase.
Supervisors unanimously agreed Monday to support the upgrade, the first since emergency 911 service began in the county in the early 1990s.
"We have to do this if we want to keep our people safe," said Bobby Smith, supervisor for the second district and board president.
County leaders acknowledge the existing system's age and technology capabilities make find finding replacement parts a challenge.
"It's like operating a computer made in the early 1990s," said Paul Harkins, Lee County 911 coordinator.
The Lee County E911 Board of Commissioners has recommended switching to the system used by state agencies, allowing easier communication between Lee County emergency personnel and others outside of the area. The new upgrade also will allow county public safety personnel to better communicate within the county during emergency situations through expanded radio coverage.
While supervisors intend to issue up to $8.5 million in bonds for the communication upgrade, County Administrator Sean Thompson said it will likely cost in the $6-7 million range.
The upgrade likely will lead to a tax increase of 1.5 mills or less, Thompson said. For most people living in a house with an assessed value of $100,000, the tax increase would be a maximum of $15 annually.
Since this effort includes a tax increase, a petition of 1,500 county resident signatures would force a referendum on the sale of bonds related to the radio upgrades.
If no referendum is required, Thompson said approval, design and installation of the new system could take up to two years.

It looks like Emma Watson is still keen to put much space between her and Hermione Granger, the resident Harry Potter goody-goody that she played for more than a decade.
Having already appeared as a free-spirited high school student in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which opens in New Zealand today, for her next trick she is starring in Sofia Coppola's much anticipated The Bling Ring, about the group of Los Angeles teenagers who were arrested in 2009 for a string of break-ins at the homes of various celebrities including Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.
And it is dressed as her pole-dancing, thieving character, Nicki, that she appears on the cover of the new issue of GQ. Wearing a dress remarkably similar to one Julia Roberts' Vivian would have worn on Sunset Boulevard in Pretty Woman, it's a far cry from her cosy Hogwarts scarf.
In the accompanying interview, Watson admits she is doing her best to avoid being pigeonholed. "I was open-minded about doing anything but the one thing I didn't want to do was get myself into a corset because I was worried I would never get out again."
She has also just popped up in the trailer for upcoming apocalyptic party film, This is the End. Playing herself, she appears swearing and wielding an axe before knocking out Seth Rogen.
While she might have been feeling slightly left behind by edgier actresses such as Kristen Stewart and Chloe Moretz, there's only so far she'll go to shed her good-girl image and she definitely won't be taking on the role of Anastasia Steele.
"Who here actually thinks I would do 50 Shades of Grey as a movie? Like really. For real. In real life," she tweeted.
"Good. Well that's sorted then."

So tired ... need a real holiday now :-/
A new french article about GNOME is online on linuxfrench.net. Thanks to Jean BORT for his work.
I'm on holiday during 2 weeks.
Hacked mainly on gnomefr.org this week-end. Prepared some stuff for the GNOME Booth during the next Solutions linux in PARIS.
Again a sad news.... The end of 2003 was really bad with the death of Chema and Ettore. Now Mark Finlay, the beginning of this year is really bad too for the GNOME community! :-(
Up early, I have had a big day of work ... tired !
Posted some news on http://www.gnomefr.org.
I have read the recent GNOME summary. The small interview with Robert Love was interesting !
Good work Sri.
A new website gnomefr.org is online since yesterday. This website has been created to promote the use of GNOME desktop and development platform
among general public (users) and developers in FRANCE and in all french-speaking countries.
I should say a special thanks for Jeff Waugh for his precious help.

By Kansas City Star
All eyes were glued to Washington, D.C., on June 28 as the nation waited to see whether the U.S. Supreme Court would uphold the constitutionality of the individual insurance mandate, a linchpin in President Barack Obama's landmark health care reform act.
Fortunately, it did, but the judges threw in a curve, striking down a part of the law compelling states to increase Medicaid eligibility limits .
The long-awaited court decision roiled state capitols and it dropped two big decisions into the laps of state governments.
One has to do with health insurance exchanges, which are new organizations that will set up a more competitive and consumer-friendly market for purchasing health insurance.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is creating a federal exchange for use in states that don't design their own.
The other big decision involves the Medicaid expansion.
Right now, it is nearly impossible for low-income workers in Missouri and Kansas to obtain health insurance if their employers don't provide it.
The economic and moral reasons to expand Medicaid are compelling.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon intends to include the Medicaid expansion in his budget but will face opposition from the legislature. In Kansas, neither Gov. Sam Brownback nor legislative leaders have said how they intend to proceed.
Hospitals, citizens and states' economies will suffer if leaders allow an antipathy toward all things "Obamacare" to deny the benefits of health security.
The offer for 100 percent federal financing of the cost of state Medicaid expansions runs out in 2017. Leaders in Missouri and Kansas must seize a unique opportunity to repair a broken system that currently leaves hundreds of thousands of people in both states without a way to be well. If they don't, the problems created by uninsured patients will only get worse.

why is it hard for them to say good things about us, guess this is as close as we get. how is 1-1 not .500?
why is it hard for them to say good things about us, guess this is as close as we get. how is 1-1 not .500?
I know we lost to the Jets(Thanks Carpenter) but I still think this team is easily the second best team in the division. The Jets are falling apart and tomorrow night is likely going to be very ugly for them. The Bills might have the worst defense in the NFL, which is surprising after all the hype people gave their defense in the offseason.
one thing about the dolphin is when you play them you know you have been in a game they play hard until the last second and they are only getting better nolan carrol as far as i concern should be our number two cornerback bench marshall he is not as good as noland
What's funny is the insta-backpeddle from all of the commentators.
Look...They commentate. It's what they do. We pay them to do it.
Everyone has realized that the Dolphins are a few bounces/players away from
being important, and that's why the teams under us have been put there.
We're moving in the right direction. The others aren't.
Thanks Shifty!
We are more than a tough out, we're a good football team. Rebuilding teams don't look like this. We're like the Ravens when they got Flacco. Steelers when they got Roethlisburger. Talented team that finally has a QB of adequacy.
**** Walker, I can't wait to see how he continues to downplay our team as his 4-12 prediction looks more ******** by the week.
Call it what it is, do hw and you could see we weren't rebuilding. The jets after this season is what rebuilding looks like. we brought back 16 starters from last year. If were rebuilding then so is the patriots.
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth

Here is a link to a story in the MSP Star Tribune about the spring turkey season. They mention the potential for consolodating zone since there are 81 now. That would be great news.
"We are looking at consolidating permit areas,'' said Penning. The state's turkey range now is divided into 81 hunting zones, and hunters are restricted to one. "We're looking at having far, far fewer,'' perhaps just a dozen, Penning said. That would allow hunters to hunt in far larger areas. "We can reduce the administrative burden for both hunters and the DNR, and not have a negative population effect,'' Penning said.

Eli's having a long stretch of really bad games. It's making everyone wonder if 2011 was just a fluke. Deal with it, and stop crying and making sorry excuses.
Eli's having a long stretch of really bad games. It's making everyone wonder if 2011 was just a fluke. Deal with it, and stop crying and making sorry excuses.
There is alot to be desired with the system Gilbride runs. When Eli is on fire, the offense is very difficult to stop. But I personally think that Eli is much better than the system he operates in.
oh stop...
what happens when Eli and he offense does well......obvioulsy they can handle it...
So the offense only isnt friendly when they are sucking????
Eli cannot have success when his O-line does not provide enough time in the pocket. Gilbride plays a downfield offense. He has 1 checkdown short route, and the rest are all agressively downfield. His plays need time to develop.
What is hindering Eli is 1) The offensive line is not giving the play enough time (not just DD, the whole line) and 2) The WR being played man to man, losing the battle, and the safeties are playing over the top because they don't respect our running game.
I'm not saying Eli couldn't play better, but he is definitely in a poor situation right now, and it's no surprise watching the plays develop that he's not finding a lot of success.
for instance the 3rd and 1 play against the Steelers
this happens quite a bit actually
I am no Gilbride hater....I actually like the guy
but a check down route or two would be a wise thing to implement when observing an O line performing the way this line has in recent games

Brazilian Agate set into a Gabon Ebony pot with matching striker. High Gloss finish with my name hand etched into the agate. This is one of my Black Magik series set up with a blasted glass soundboard to make it a two sider.
The agate is blasted just below my signature so that it can be played.


text: The guy told numerous media outlets about numerous face to face interaction with a woman that doesn't exist. He can't claim "elaborate hoax" due to a strictly "online" situation when he told numerous people they had met face to face. There is obviously some serious mental illness in play here and no GM is going to want to be responsible for drafting a player who, in a moment of detachment from reality, comes to minicamp and mows down the entire team in a shower of bullets. He's gonna slip well beyond the 12th pick. Well beyond.

What Would Newton Say?

Liquefied mud flows down a mountainside in Nicaragua. Mud is usually a solid. But under some conditions, mud may turn to a liquid state and flow downhill.
The Back Story
- All fluids (liquids and gases) can flow, but they resist flowing to some degree. Some fluids resist flowing more than others (think honey vs. water). Resistance to flowing is called viscosity.
- Most fluids have more-or-less constant viscosity at a given temperature. Such fluids are called Newtonian fluids. That's because they behave as first described by Isaac Newton in the 1600s.
- A few fluids are non-Newtonian fluids. These fluids behave very strangely. Their viscosity can change. Sometimes they act like liquids. Sometimes they act like solids.
- An example of a non-Newtonian fluid is oobleck, a cornstarch-and-water mixture you may have made in school or at home. It's fun to play with oobleck because it runs through your fingers like a liquid but acts like a solid if you squeeze it. You can see some oobleck and learn how to make it by watching the video below:
Can You Apply It?
Learn more about Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids at the link below. Then answer the questions that follow.
- What is a non-Newtonian fluid?
- Besides oobleck and mud, what are some examples of non-Newtonian fluids?
- What are examples of forces that change the viscosity of non-Newtonian fluids?
- What happens when the stress is removed from a non-Newtonian fluid?
- Why might an earthquake cause a mudflow?
- Why would a non-Newtonian fluid be good for body armor?

Term: High priest
Hierophant: One of the trumps of the Major Arcana of the tarot. Numbered V. In the system of Eliphas Levi, it corresponds to the Hebrew letter Heh. In the system of the Golden Dawn, The Hierophant corresponds to the Hebrew letter Vav and the astrological sign of Taurus.
Hierophant: An officer of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. When the temple is set up for Neophytes, the Hierophant (Greek for "initiating priest") sits in the East, represents the dawning Light, and is the main ritual officer. When a woman holds this office she is called the Hierophatria or Hieropantissa.
High Priest:
A male Witch who, often with a High Priestess, is the leader of a coven. In traditional covens, to achieve this level requires extensive training and experience. In covens that have a three-degree system, a High Priest will have been initiated into the third degree. It is often abbreviated as HP.
The 5th Major Arcanum of the Tarot
Image: Pope or other major religious leader
Hebrew letter: Vav
Divinatory meaning: Authority, Wisdom, Spirituality
Path on the Tree of Life: 16th path connecting Yesod to Tiphareth.
Qabalistic Description. The 5th Key, the 16th Path. Magus of the Eternal Gods. This Path connects Chesed (Mercy) with Chokmah (Wisdom). The primary function of the Hierophant is to tie together the Great Above to that which is Below. The Hierophant is also the Great Teacher of the Mysteries, bringing understanding as the link between sensory experience and inner illumination. Vav means the nail, binding things together.
Card Description. The Hierophant as High Priest is the counterpart of the High Priestess. As Aries is the house of Mars and the exaltation of the Sun, so Taurus is the house of Venus and the exaltation of the Moon. He is the reflective or mystical aspect of the masculine. He is the thinker as the Emperor is the doer.
His colors unlike those of the Emperor vary considerably. Red, orange, maroon, deep brown, and chestnut brown, suggest veiled thought, interior power, endurance, contemplation and reconciliation. This card frequently indicates the hidden guardianship of the Masters.
Interpretation. Divine wisdom, occult wisdom, manifestation, explanation, teaching. The Hierophant differs from, though resembling in some respects, the meaning of The Magician, The Prophet, and The Lovers.
Psychological Value. You may use this Arcanum when you are eager to act, but have not yet figured out what your true heart's desire is, or when you are wasting your efforts on things you don't need, instead of focusing on your truest desires. It helps you develop generosity, sincerity, justice, tact, courtesy and refinement, as well as your sense of order and organization. It can help you to understand how to best present yourself socially. (According to the Divine Arcana of the Aurum Solis—Divinity: Zeus; Greek Letter: Upsilon.)

Chef Matt Murphy has the hands of a culinary artist in his kitchen at the Ritz Carlton in New Orleans — but he's also a rugged man who hasn't shied from being battered and bloodied playing his favorite sport, rugby.
So when he felt pain after tripping over one of his daugters' toys just over a year ago, Murphy's first instinct was to simply suck it up and move on. Little did he know he was beginning an agonizing medical odyssey that he came through only with first-rate medical care and a lot of luck.
Master chef Murphy had contracted necrotizing fasciitis (NF), more commonly called flesh-eating disease — an ailment that sounds like it comes from a science-fiction thriller but is an extremely rare yet all-too-real threat. It can start with just a minor scrape, but its mortality rate is 90 percent, and even those lucky few who survive often have limbs amputated.
It didn't go away
But Murphy appeared hale and hearty on TODAY Friday, with all his limbs intact. Accompanied by his wife Alicia and their 8-month-old daughter Alana (the couple left their active bunch of 2½-year-old girl quadruplets back in the Big Easy), he told Matt Lauer that his decision to head to the emergency room was the best he's ever made.
"I'm a rugby player. I've broken my nose seven times; I can deal with pain," Murphy said in a brogue that reflects his hometown of Dublin, Ireland. "I said, 'Hey, it's going to go away,' but it didn't. But lucky enough I went [to the hospital]."
Still, Murphy was about ready for his last rites by the time he showed up at Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans, some two days after tripping. Doctors were unable to find his blood pressure and did all they could to keep him alive. Worse, they didn't know what was wrong with him.
Murphy's angel arrived in the form of Dr. Frederic Wilson. An orthopedic surgeon at the hospital, he had encountered that NF before. The disease is so rare, with only 500 to 1,500 cases diagnosed a year, most physicians have never seen it. But Wilson recognized what Murphy was dealing with.
"He was basically on death's doorstep," Dr. Wilson told NBC News. "He was already in organ system failure and was in basically toxic shock."
Appearing with the Murphys on TODAY, medical correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman told Lauer NF results from streptococcus, the bacteria most of us carry around and is the cause of strep throat. But in Murphy's case, the bacteria manifested itself in an unusual way.
"[He was] colonized with bacteria, and strep got into that incidental wound and started to fester, grow very rapidly. And then the turning point was it produced this powerful toxin," she explained.
Doctors tried their best while preparing Murphy's family for the worst.
"The doctors came to me and they kept saying, 'Your husband is a very sick man, you need to call his family and bring his family home,' " Alicia Murphy told NBC News. "I thought, 'Oh, my God, he could die?'
"I said, 'Listen, this man means everything to me, we have four young children at home, I'm pregnant with his fifth child. Do everything you can; please, please take really good care of him.' "
Thankfully, Murphy came back whole; doctors found it remarkable that they didn't have to perform any kind of amputation. In the eight cases of NF the hospital had seen in 25 years, Murphy is the lone survivor.
Alicia Murphy told Lauer she counted on her husband's toughness to carry him through and come back to their family.
"I had the girls at home and I was pregnant with Alanna, and I knew that I had to be tough," she said. "I also knew that Matt is the toughest guy I've ever known, and I knew he would make it out of it. [But] I was scared; I'm not going to lie."
Long recovery
Murphy faced an uphill battle even after he was out of the woods. The long coma and myriad surgeries left him weak and frail. He had to regain sense in his extremities and was so stiff he had to learn to use his legs again.
Video: Jambalaya jamboree Murphy told Lauer he set a target date of October to complete his rehabilitation so he could be present at the birth of his fifth daughter. And yes, he made it.
"Dr. Wilson was phenomenal; he said, 'You're going to walk out of this hospital, I'll walk out of this hospital with you,' " Murphy said. "I said, if he had that determination, I could pull from my side, too."
Murphy is a rising chef on the culinary circuit, recently opening M Bistro at the Ritz Carlton. He's showed off his cooking chops on numerous national TV shows — including TODAY on Friday, where in a second appearance he whipped up a jambalaya that delighted former New Orleans resident Hoda Kotb.
And Murphy is beloved in the Big Easy, as demonstrated recently when some 45 fellow chefs gathered to cook at a fundraiser that raised $250,000 to pay medical bills that weren't covered by his insurance.
"It's a miracle," Alicia Murphy told NBC. "I have my wonderful husband who's healthy and here, and we're a lucky, happy family."
Snyderman told Lauer Murphy is no more at risk of contracting NF again than any of the rest of the population. She added while the disease is extremely rare, its deadly potential is in all of us.
"If you start to see a wound festering beyond what you think is normal, get in [to the hospital]," she advised. "It is rare, but it can happen to you."

Is that your stomach grumbling or is that the sound of The Hunger Games premiere?
We're just days away from the biggest movie event of the season and I can barely get any work done between all my Team Peeta or Team Gale debating. It's almost as exhausting as fighting off a pack of career tributes on the prowl. So rather than trying to do anything that's not Hunger Games related, I decided to devote all my time to searching the interwebs for the best Hunger Games memes out there.
Or I should say hunting for the best memes with my virtual bow and arrow. Yes, just like Katniss Everdeen I went hunting. Except she hunted for survival and I hunted for something good to share on Facebook. It's basically the same thing. One's about life and death and one's about getting the most likes on your upload.

KIDD: Thanks. I got a lead on finding them this morning and will be heading out at lunch to see if I can snag them. If I don't find any, you'll be hearing from me.
Also, if I do find them, I'll definitely post what was there.
Highland Park TRU was loaded with Chewie & Obi-Wan (as well as Han). Little bit of a trek for me, but was less than an hour round trip.
Was hoping that once I found these two, I'd be able to back off a little in my hunting, but since my finds this morning, I probably won't be able to resist the urge to look for others.
niles target had mace w/red battle driod and anakin/geno warrior delux and nexu as of 3:00 today
[FONT=Comic Sans MS]CENSORED X 5[/FONT]CENSORED X 5
Mt.Prospect target had red battle driod w/mace and han,chewbacca obi-wan starfighter pilot,dooku and anakin hangar duel as of 9:00pm tonight

Lunchtime hunt today got me no new figures, but TRU on Golf, west of Woodfield has Han/Obi/Chewie.
TRU in St. Charles had 12 -15 of both han (white lever) & obi pilot, lots of bespin wave, and a lone 12' jango @ 2pm. Target in Batavia had 2 acklays and bespin wave . KB in Batavia had 2 12" jangos and bespin wave. Walmart had jack crap!

In 1981, Kestenbaum entered the Foreign Commercial Service where he served tours at several US embassies, supervised the Rebuild Kuwait effort after the 1991 Desert Storm campaign and also served a tour as Commercial Liason Director in the Office of the US Executive Director at the World Bank.
Since his retirement from the Foreign Commercial Service, Kestenbaum has been working in the private sector as a Middle East business consultant, including extended periods in Baghdad with a full service security group.
The Harpur Forum serves business, professional and community leaders by bringing nationally known authorities to speak at functions throughout the year.

How is the human body similar to a well-tuned machine?
Many people have compared the human body to a machine. Think about some common machines, such as drills and washing machines. Each machine consists of many parts, and each part does a specific job, yet all the parts work together to perform an overall function. The human body is like a machine in all these ways. In fact, it may be the most fantastic machine on Earth.
As a preview of the human machine, the Emmy award-winning video, Inside The Living Body, at this link is highly recommended: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chqwSh4ii84&feature=related.
Levels of Organization
The human machine is organized at different levels, starting with the cell and ending with the entire organism (see Figure below). At each higher level of organization, there is a greater degree of complexity.
The human organism has several levels of organization.
The most basic parts of the human machine are cells—an amazing 100 trillion of them by the time the average person reaches adulthood! Cells are the basic units of structure and function in the human body, as they are in all living things. Each cell carries out basic life processes that allow the body to survive. Many human cells are specialized in form and function, as shown in Figure below. Each type of cell in the figure plays a specific role. For example, nerve cells have long projections that help them carry electrical messages to other cells. Muscle cells have many mitochondria that provide the energy they need to move the body.
You can watch a video about some of the specialized cells of the human body and how they function at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8uXewS9dJU&feature=related
Different types of cells in the human body are specialized for specific jobs. Do you know the functions of any of the cell types shown here?
After the cell, the tissue is the next level of organization in the human body. A tissue is a group of connected cells that have a similar function. There are four basic types of human tissues: epithelial, muscle, nervous, and connective tissues. These four tissue types, which are shown in Figure below, make up all the organs of the human body.
The human body consists of these four tissue types.
- Connective tissue is made up of cells that form the body's structure. Examples include bone and cartilage.
- Epithelial tissue is made up of cells that line inner and outer body surfaces, such as the skin and the lining of the digestive tract. Epithelial tissue protects the body and its internal organs, secretes substances such as hormones, and absorbs substances such as nutrients.
- Muscle tissue is made up of cells that have the unique ability to contract, or become shorter. Muscles attached to bones enable the body to move.
- Nervous tissue is made up of neurons, or nerve cells, that carry electrical messages. Nervous tissue makes up the brain and the nerves that connect the brain to all parts of the body.
Organs and Organ Systems
After tissues, organs are the next level of organization of the human body. An organ is a structure that consists of two or more types of tissues that work together to do the same job. Examples of human organs include the brain, heart, lungs, skin, and kidneys. Human organs are organized into organ systems, many of which are shown in Figure below. An organ system is a group of organs that work together to carry out a complex overall function. Each organ of the system does part of the larger job.
You can watch overviews of the human organ systems and their functions at the links below.

- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSqwRkDLyH4&feature=related
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KidJ-2H0nyY&feature=player_embedded#!
Many of the organ systems that make up the human body are represented here. What is the overall function of each organ system?
- The human body is organized at different levels, starting with the cell.
- Cells are organized into tissues, and tissues form organs.
- Organs are organized into organ systems such as the skeletal and muscular systems.
Practice I
Use these resources to answer the questions that follow.
- http://www.hippocampus.org/Biology Biology for AP* Search: Animal Form and Function: Overview
- Define tissue and organ.
- http://www.hippocampus.org/Biology Biology for AP* Search: The Structure of Animal Tissue

- What is a hormone?
- How do the muscular and skeletal systems work together?
- How do the circulatory and respiratory systems work together?

- Describe the role of the digestive system.
Practice II
1. What are the levels of organization of the human body?
2. Which type of tissue covers the surface of the body?
3. What are the functions of the skeletal system?
4. Which organ system supports the body and allows it to move?

Vim syntax highlighting for C++11 raw strings
A little over a year ago I mentioned a vim syntax file for C++0x which I was using for a while, but it only adds support for some new keywords, not new syntax such as lambda expressions and list-initialization. Last month I found cpp11.vim in the Vim online script database, which intends to support the new C++11 syntax, by replacing your existing cpp.vim entirely.
Not quite satisfied with either of those, I've started using my own cpp.vim to extend the default cpp.vim file (which is done by putting it in ~/.vim/after/syntax/cpp.vim) with syntax highlighting for the new keywords and also C++11 raw strings.
With my colour settings they look like this:
which is equivalent to:
char raw[] = R"#(s/"\([^"]*\)"/'\1'/g)#";
only without suffering from leaning toothpick syndrome.
char yuk[] = "s/\"\\([^\"]*\\\"/'\\1'/g";
# in the example can be (almost) any sequence of zero or more characters acting as a delimiter. The example above requires a non-empty delimiter because the string contains
)", which would be taken as the end of the raw string otherwise:
char raw[] = R"(s/"\([^"]*\)"/'\1'/g)"; // ERROR!
You could choose to use
"" as the delimiter sequence, as a nod to Python
char raw[] = R"""(triple-quoted for great justice)""";

Washington School District Changing Brighton Bus Stop
Posted By News On @ 6:31 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The Washington Community School District is temporarily moving its bus stop in Brighton. The stop will be moved to Brighton School park on the corner of Harrison and West Main Street effective this morning, until further notice.
Transportation Director Woody Harden says the increased utility work on West Washington Street facilitated the need for this change. Pick up and drop off times will remain the same, and students will ride the same buses. Direct any questions to Woody Harden at 319-653-3695.

Professional companies present work of dance faculty
Posted November 27, 2006; 04:36 p.m.
Professional companies from New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
will perform recently choreographed work by Princeton University's dance faculty in concerts at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Dec. 8-9.
"New Dances: Princeton Faculty in Concert" will be the first faculty dance concert at the Berlind Theatre, which is part of the McCarter Theatre Center and opened in 2003.
It will feature works by Head of Dance Ze'eva Cohen and faculty members Meghan Durham, Dyane Harvey, Rebecca Lazier and Edisa Weeks. The five eclectic dances featured draw on personal stories, images and music to convey powerful statements about the human condition.
"Meditation on a Square," to be performed by Pittsburgh-based
Bodiography Contemporary Ballet, was inspired by sacred architecture,
music and folk dances from her recent trip to Barcelona, Spain.
Durham's company, Philadelphia-based Merge, will perform "Fragment of
(Me)mory." Choreographed to music by Alexander Borodin, the dance draws
a metaphor for memory as a physical event by juxtaposing precise
physicality with alternative light sources to illuminate and obscure

WSJ: Google Holds Secret Meeting to Keep Samsung's Android Power in Check

Somewhere Tim Cook and Stephen Elop are laughing
The Wall Street Journal
is reporting
that Google Inc. (
) is holding an emergency summit at the 2013 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. At the mobile industry's top trade show, Google is reportedly meeting with Android phonemakers like HTC Corp. (
) and Hewlett-Packard Comp. (
) about fighting back to prevent Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) from gaining too strong a dominant position in the Android market.
I. One Company to Rule Them All?
Samsung currently accounts for 40 percent of Android sales --
more than any other company
. It's also easily the most profitable of any Android device-maker.
Some analysts think Google is fearful that Samsung will leverage its powerful position to try to get a bigger cut of Google's slowly growing mobile ad revenue stream. Sources claim that Samsung currently gets around 10 percent of the revenue from clicks on its devices. A bump to Samsung's take-home percentage could help offset
per-device payments it has to make to Microsoft
Corp. (
) for intellectual property licensing.
hopes to make $8B USD in 2013
via mobile advertising
on Apple
, Inc.'s (
) iPhone and Android.
Andy Rubin reportedly warned Android phonemakers not to let Samsung get too powerful.

At a closed-door event, the
reports that their source was in attendance and heard a presentation by Android Chief Andy Rubin. Mr. Rubin allegedly praised Samsung's success, but warned that it could be a "threat" if it furthered its dominant position. Google is reportedly eyeing offerings like HP's $169.99 USD upcoming Android slates.
Samsung in 2012 was the
biggest smartphone shipper
, shipping 215.8m smartphones, almost all of which ran Android. By contrast, Apple "only" shipped 136.8m iPhones. Samsung hopes to ship
390m smartphones
in 2013.
In 2011, Samsung only accounted for 15.6 percent of Android tablets, but in 2012 it advanced to 27.9%, becoming a major player
according to
Interactive Data Corp. (
). Samsung passed Amazon.com, Inc. (
) in Q4 2012 to become the largest Android tablet seller (Amazon uses a modified Android build in its "Fire" tablets). Samsung just revealed the
Galaxy Note 8.0
, a hot tablet that is vying with Apple's iPad Mini.
II. Samsung Could Seek Alternatives
If Samsung reacts badly to Google's efforts to keep it in check; it could jump ship to one of a couple rising platforms. It
already has made Windows Phone devices
and has a good relationship with Microsoft Corp. (
). Alternatively, it could opt to test the waters with
a Mozilla OS device
(Samsung's South Korean counterpart LG Electronics, Inc. (
) is doing precisely that). And
then there's Tizen
, a mobile Linux kernel that Samsung is co-developing with Intel Corp. (
For now, Google and Samsung are united by their common enemy: Apple. Samsung will launch its counterstrike against the iPhone 5 on March 14 --
the Galaxy S IV
In March Google and Samsung will collaborate on the massive Galaxy S IV launch.
[Image Source: AndroidSpin]
leaked spec sheet
has been circulating which claims the hot handset will pack:
• 4.8-5.0-inch 1080p display
• Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
• 1.9GHz Qualcom Snapdragon 600 processor
• 16/32/64GB storage options
• Removable SD card slot (up to 64GB)
• 13MP rear-facing camera, w/ "Orb" technology for compressed panorama shots
• 4G LTE support
• Multi-purpose / Dedicated camera button
• Bluetooth 5.0
• 3100 mAh battery
Will the Galaxy S IV be the last major effort between Google and Samsung? It's possible, but at this point it's likely the pair's ties that bind are stronger than those that separate.

Take this for what it is worth because Florio has shown his disdain for the Miami organization in the past:
read more:http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...iver-rotation/Binns, a relative newcomer himself, arrived via waivers in December. The Bengals cut him to make room for center Kyle Cook, who was emerging from short-term injured reserve. The Dolphins pounced.
Brian Hartline has called Binns the best waiver-wire pickup during Hartlines four seasons in Miami.
Per the Sun-Sentinel, Binns played so well in practice last season (the paper calls him dominant) that Binns played slot receiver for the final three games. It carried into the offseason with Binns being consistently one of the top playmakers and the biggest red-zone threat on the team.
Binns biggest attribute is the speed with which he plays the game.
I think thats the one thing weve noticed as a staff, coach Joe Philbin said. Im usually the kiss of death, but he is playing faster. He is playing fast, and he is catching it when he gets an opportunity.

Lots and lots of talk during the debate on what will effect the "middle class" tax rate.
Blackstone made a great point about eliminating tax loopholes which could effect those with mortgages, interest income, boats, cars, etc. I can certainly understand that. But is your income "middle"? What's "middle"?
Most here know one of my largest complaints is my effective tax rate (29% last year). I don't even know of any loopholes for me. Not sure how they could close any lol.
But, back to the question...
When the candidates talk about "Middle Class" taxpayers, Exactly what income level are they talking about? I know Obama says "Those families earning less than $250,000" ... but how many of us here consider a family earning $200,000 "middle"?
The average of :
1 7 12 18 24 36 41 55 68 76 88 112 123 289 343 477 601 766 899 991= 251'ish
The middle number in that line up is : 76

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Now get ready for larger crowds on the system. D.F.O Canada opened the Bulkey system up for the harvesting of coho starting today and the Kispiox will also open. The Bulkey will be open from Aug.16 until September 30 so I am sure the old locals will dust off the casting gear and start fishing again. The river is going to be open fromHazelton to Lamprey creek and from sept.1 all the way to Gosnell creek. This should make for some fun with a new wave of old time fishermen showing up again after all these years of no kill on salmon.
|You hit the nail on the head Bruce.That's exactly what DFO does.Alot of the problem is that the commercial fleet is composed of boats from all over the province and not just local.The reason for this is that the commercial openings for all our major river systems happen at different times,instead of having one opening, province wide.This enables fleets from the fraser and south coast to head up to the Skeena,fish the opening there,then head down to the Fraser and fish there,then to the Nass,and so on,and so on.The fleets from the Skeena/Nass do the same and head south for the openings.Alot of the northern locals obviously don't like the way the commercial fishing is being done as it greatly impacts the sportfishing in the area.This in turn has a very negative impact on the tourism industry and the overall economy of these towns.It is not the commercial fishermen's fault.They are simply doing what DFO allows them to do and are trying to make the best living they can.I think DFO should try to work out a better way of doing things though instead of going back and forth the way they do.One year there will be a heavy commercial harvest and the sportfishers will be left with the scraps,while the next there will be no commercial opening.The sportfishing is great but the commercial fishers get outraged.Thus the next year DFO has to give more to the commercial fleet.It never ends and it never seems to get any better.
|B. Gray
So what do you site visitors from BC think the folks who live up there from Terrace down to Prince Rupert think of the commercial netting?
I could envision a scenario where DFOs policy is to toss the sporties a few cookies for a couple years and then when things are all peachy they decide it's time to give a little back to the commercial permit holders to make them happy for awhile. What's the fleet like up there anyways? We talking about lots of little crews or is it an operation for the big boys?
|Interesting observation Beau,and totally correct.Most people are under the assumption that the fish caught at the mouth of the Skeena,Fraser,or wherever,are native to that system.That is not 100% true.I have a freind who works in the fisheries doing all their radio tagging of salmon and steelhead on the Skeena and Nass systems.He has also worked on the southern systems(Fraser,Dean,Island rivers,etc) as well.Thrue there years of tagging and research they have found that the fish that they tag in these areas,like the Skeena for example,are actually a large mixture of fish heading to many different river systems.They have netted fish in the Skeena mouth that ended up travelling up to Alaska and as far south as Oregon.This means that the commercial fishing being done at the Skeena River mouth is not only impacting our fisheries,but it is also taking fish bound for our southern rivers and US waters as well.Excess harvesting on the Skeena could in turn impact the returns on several Washington and Oregon rivers.DFO allows a certain number of fish up the rivers and then opens the fishery up to commercial fishing once their escapement number is reached.The problem is that while the needed Skeena run may be through and strong,they have no way of knowing how many fish from other rivers are being taken.When we left for our trip up to Terrace there was a report on the radio that the sockeye run was one of the best in recent years.We thought this would mean a great fishing trip for us.Instead it meant more commercial harvest than expected and a lousy fishing trip for us.

skeena ps
interesting reading tonyd comment.the river i fish the last week in july must be affected by the skeena openings. last yr and this yr i saw only a couple of my fish with net marks.i also experienced huge numbers.the 3 yrs prior were yrs with fewer fish and nearly all were net marked. those were the yrs of no netting on the skeena.obviously some of the boats migrate south to north and vice versa.
|beau purvis
skeena reply
i too sent an email off to the ministers. however i never recieved a reply. guess i was too hard on them.used a low blow! told them they were now following the many yrs of bad examples set by washington state.i fished recently with BOB Clay [wellknown kispiox-skeena drainage guide]. he was under the impression netting was to be minimal this yr due to low sockeye return. reason it was heavy last yr was a very large return of sockeye.he had been in the bush guiding for 3 weeks at the time. quess maybe the run turned out better.too bad , since all the govt cares about .puts us steelheaders in a position of hoping for poor salmon runs.otherwise our pasion turns up as unfortunate but necessary by-catch in the managers minds. i, like Dana, get a little hot and pasionate on this subject.
Wow is that depressing. Glad we do not have to deal with that in Great Lakes.
"Selective gill netting", can't believed they used those words in their response.
Commercial interests obviously weight heavier over public recreational interests in BC politics at this time, at least for this issue.
|I just returned from a 2 week trip to Terrace.The reason for the "big push" of sockeye is because the river has been netted off for a week.There was a 3 or 4 day commercial opening that started right when we arrived and then another 2-3 days later.We expected to catch litterally hundreds of sockeye and pinks at that time as that is the way it normally is if you know the right bars.We fished Ferry Island alot for 6-8hrs each morning before heading after some chinook in a boat.On our whole trip I caught 6 pinks and 2 sockeye.Not exactly what we travelled 14hrs for.We were always the first on the bar(3:30AM) and had one of if not THE best water.There was almost NO sign of fish aside from a small school of pinks one evening.No one else on the bar(considered to be the best sockeye bar on the river by most) was doing any better.I saw several steelhead landed in the slower water as well.The fish take 7 days to make the trip up to Terrace so that,combined with the commercial netting,made for a 2 week period with VERY few fish in the whole river.The only fish that seemed to be present in good numbers were the big chinook at the Hog Line(mouth of the Kalum River).These were the only fish able to make it through the netting.After a week of slow fishing we made the trip down to Prince Rupert.Along the way we stopped at every bar and piece of slack water we saw and glassed the area with binos in hopes of seeing some sockeye flipping but there were none.On the way from Rupert we stopped at Port Edwards to watch the commercial fleet come in.It was rediculous!I've never seen so many boats in my life.Another frustrating thing is knowing that alot of the boats aren't even local.Because the openings of the Skeena,Fraser,Nass,etc are all at different times,the fleets from the south coast simply migrate up there before or after their opening.Basically there are way more boats netting the area than there would be if the openings to all the rivers were at the same time.After talking to some of the fishermen,and several sportfishermen there,we were told that the entire mouth of the river was pretty much netted off and that NOTHING gets through until the opening is lifted.As we neared the Skeena mouth the next morning we could see the barrage of boats in the distance.I agree with Dana,DFO is constantly putting sportfishers last and will basically feed you a bunch of BS to keep people happy.The fishing while we were there was pretty bad and we ended up fishing for trout in some of the smaller rivers and going up into the Nass to find fish.The chinook fishing on the Nass was spectacular though and worth the drive.I really don't have a problem with commercial fisheries,only the way they are allowed to operate.Being able to close off the entire river and prevent sportfishers(who bring alot of money to the local economy) from sharing the resource is crap.How are they sharing the fish when nothing can get into the river?Considering all the netting is done on the sockeye,and the steelhead move with the sockeye,I don't see how they can ever say that these stocks aren't being seriously impacted.Nets don't discriminate,regardless of their size.Don't believe anything DFO tells you as they will always put the commercial fishery first anyway.By the way,the water was extremely high when we arrived but dropped quickly and is now in great shape.The Copper looks in wonderful shape,but access is very limited(lower river only).We never fished it but saw several anglers fishing the lower stretches.There are some steelies showing now and someone with a good dirt bike could find some fabulous water to themselves on the upper river provided they can get past the gate.If we hadn't made the trek to the Nass our trip would have been a very big dissapointment.If I were to go back,and I plan to,I would make sure that the commercial fishery was done(at least for the sockeye) as it can be pretty frustrating casting into empty water day after day.Chances are the worst is over now.Hopefully steelhead numbers won't be too low.
Does anyone know of a website that has the DFO's gillnet openings for the Skeena I just heard that they are having an unexpected "Big push of Sockeyes" this of course usually means alot of Gillnet days and I was wondering if anyone had a web page I could skunk out the real scoop. I went through an entire listing and did not find one that had what I was looking for.
I guess a guy could call one of the fish buyers in PR and get it that way!
|If I understand what you are asking. A weed line is a technique of hanging your net below the cork line so no weeds or junk gathers along the top of the net. I have never used a net hung this way before and I have only seen one.
|B. Gray
While we're talking about gillnets, what's a weedline anyway?
It's pretty amazing and sick that they're back to netting the Skeena mouth. Gillnets or not, Dana, you guys have the nirvana of steelheading up there. A few of my friends left today for a week on the Dean and here I sit in a windowless office...
October on the Fraser
In a conversation with a Canadian Angler who also is a commercial fisher he told me the main reason that they have the October Chum Salmon opening in the Fraser was so that the fisherman could draw another quarter of Unemployment benefits. He said it was alot more money in UE beneys than anyone ever got from Gillnet prices for Chum Salmon. The web is always tangled some times around the truth other times around the fish!
|I spent 14 years gillnetting the Puget Sound. Steelhead caught in a gillnet are dead. The only time you get a live fish is if it has gilled itself in the last 15 or so minutes of the net being in the water. In the sound we used to hide the steelhead on the boat. It was illegal to catch them (like we had a choice) and it is illegal to throw dead fish back into the sound. Makes sense to me??????????????
I hate to say it but this is typical DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) stuff. I went after them a few years back about netting in the Fraser during the Thompson steelhead run and I received a similar letter, only this one described to me the mesh net size for the gill nets and stated that they are designed for chum salmon, and that steelhead swim right through them (selective gillnet fishing). Well, guess what? Im not exaggerating when I say that typical Thompson steelhead are not too far off the size of a typical chum salmon, something that anyone who has caught both knows. Plus I 've spoken to many commercial fishermen who have told me that steelhead caught in the gillnets are toast. Of course they "release" them, but they aren't in very good shape when they do. To be fair, this was a few years ago, so things might have improved, but if they have I haven't heard about it. Get used to it--the Department is famous for issuing these patronizing responses. If you need a little milk and cookies and a pat on the head before bedtime, send them a letter about steelhead. It's alright, really: we Canadians are darn nice people and more than willing to tell you exactly what you want to hear, even if we both know it's BS.
Oooooh boy, there I go getting hostile about the politics of steelhead again. Quick, grab the trout rods!
Selective gillnetting! Now I've heard them all!
Thanks for bringing this to our attention Bruce.

Ceremonial effigy of a hornbill
18th-early 19th century
wood, pigments
48.0 (h) x 113.0 (w) x 54.0 (d) cm
National Museum of Ethnology, Leiden
The rhinoceros hornbill, native to the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java and Borneo, is a popular and powerful motif, appearing often in the ancestral art of the region. In Iban belief, hornbills are associated with the upper world, and act as intermediaries between Singalong Burung, the principal deity and ancestor, and the human world.
During gawai burong or gawai kenyalang festivals honouring Singalong Burung and his messenger, hornbill carvings are paraded around communal longhouses. The ceremony was once a precursor to headhunting raids. With headhunting outlawed, the ceremony has been incorporated into rice harvest celebrations. Adorned with jewellery, clothes and offerings of food, kenyalang are placed on top of long poles where they symbolically remit messages to the upper world.
