FERDINAND—Perry Central Coach Greg Gibson hopes his team's speed will give it the advantage in Friday's 7 p.m. football game with Forest Park.
Forest Park lost to Gibson Southern 60-0 in last week's season opener.
While acknowledging that "Gibson Southern is really good," Gibson also mentioned that the Rangers "had trouble with Gibson Southern's speed at times, and I think that's a good thing for us.
"Once Gibson Southern's backs got outside, they had trouble catching them."
Forest Park and Perry Central are "pretty comparable" in size, Gibson said. But "I think we have the edge a little bit overall in team speed."
He said the Rangers do have "two decent running backs," though.
They are Josh Franchville, a 5-foot-11, 175-pound sophomore, and Noah Braunecker, a 6-1, 180-pound junior.
Braunecker is a little more of a power runner but "they both run hard and they're quick," said Gibson.
The Rangers use a split backfield and balance the running load pretty well between the two backs.
When they pass, 6-1, 165-pound senior quarterback Trent Bayer "throws medium passes" most of the time, said Gibson.
He said Reese Heilers, a 6-foot senior, is their top receiver. "He doesn't have blazing speed but he runs good routes."
The Rangers played a 4-2-5 defense against Gibson Southern "but I think we'll see them in a 4-3," said Gibson.
He said Braunecker is their "most active" linebacker and 6-foot, 215-pound defensive tackle Evan Weyer "gets off the ball pretty well.
"Gibson Southern had a lot of success off-tackle against them, though, and I thought we had decent success off-tackle the other night.
"We're going to try to stretch them out a little bit."

Cultural dialects of real and synthetic emotional facial expressions
- Zsófia RuttkayAffiliated withDepartment of Computer Science, University of Twente Email author
In this article we discuss the aspects of designing facial expressions for virtual humans (VHs) with a specific culture. First we explore the notion of cultures and its relevance for applications with a VH. Then we give a general scheme of designing emotional facial expressions, and identify the stages where a human is involved, either as a real person with some specific role, or as a VH displaying facial expressions. We discuss how the display and the emotional meaning of facial expressions may be measured in objective ways, and how the culture of displayers and the judges may influence the process of analyzing human facial expressions and evaluating synthesized ones. We review psychological experiments on cross-cultural perception of emotional facial expressions. By identifying the culturally critical issues of data collection and interpretation with both real and VHs, we aim at providing a methodological reference and inspiration for further research.

Anselm Andros has always thought he had a normal life - confidante to his mother, Maria, confessor to his stepfather, Leo, a man haunted by the secrets of his past, and support to his sister Jasmine. But when the political landscape of Malonia starts to shift, this unassuming family begin to unravel. Even though they have spent the past fifteen years leading a quiet life, Maria and Leo's actions are forever linked to the turbulent history of Malonia and its parallel world, modern-day England.

N.J. Bill Seeks Crackdown On Distracted Driving By Forcing Drivers To Hand Over Phones (page 2)
Check These Out
Seton Hall Law professor Jenny Carroll said the bill may violate the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
"I think it's likely to end up in the U.S. Supreme Court. If not from New Jersey, from another state because many states have passed similar laws or have similar regulations like this which allow police officers to seize a cell phone and review data contained in that cell phone at the scene of an accident," Carroll told WCBS 880 on Monday.
The bill would also increase the penalty for texting while driving.
"The Constitution makes an exception for evidence that's in plain view so an open bottle of liquor, for example, rolling around on the floor of your car following an accident would be in the officer's plain view and could be seized," Carroll told WCBS 880. "It's not just that they're taking the cell phone, which may well be in plain view, but they're actually looking at information contained in that cell phone to decide whether or not the presence of the cell phone is relevant to the car accident. In other words, were you on the phone or were you texting or receiving a text near or at the time of the accident."
Civil rights attorney Norman Siegel agreed the measure may face court challenges.
"I understand the frustration and wanting to address this issue, but you have to do it constitutionally," Siegel told Dennis. "The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from the government seizing and searching their property unless there's reasonable suspicion and/or probable cause."
According to the measure, those who get into an accident while texting or talking on the phone face a maximum fine of $300 and two points on their driver's license.

Everybody loves a bargain, but finding a true bargain in the stock market can be a difficult task. When most people start the process of looking for undervalued stocks, the first thing they tend to look at is the price investors are currently paying for each dollar of the company's earnings, or the price to earnings ratio (P/E ratio). To come to the opinion that a stock is a bargain, the P/E ratio is normally compared to the market P/E, the industry P/E and different versions of its own P/E. In this review, we take a look at three types of P/E ratios: the trailing, forward and normalized P/E.
IN PICTURES: 8 Tips For Starting Your Own Business
The trailing and forward P/E is based on the trailing 12 months of earnings and the forecast of the next year's earnings, respectively. The interesting ratio here is the normalized P/E ratio in the fifth column of the table compiled below. As businesses go through the ups and downs of the economic cycle, so too do their earnings and valuation ratios. The normalized P/E smooths out the fluctuations (normalizes) by finding the average P/E ratio of the company over the cycle. There are variations of the ratio, but here we look at the average P/E ratio going back five years.
With that said, here are the top seven lowest P/E stocks in the S&P 500:
|Trailing P/E
|Forward P/E
|Normalized P/E
|Constellation Energy Group, Inc.
|WellPoint Inc.
|NRG Energy, Inc.
|Merck & Co, Inc.
|Humana Inc.
|CIGNA Corp.
|The Travelers Companies, Inc.
|Data retrieved April 23, 2010.
Undervalued WellPoint?
One of the companies I especially like on this list is the giant health benefits company, WellPoint. Looking at the table, you can see WellPoint is currently trading at a significant discount to market valuations and its own historic valuations. The stock has nearly doubled from its low in March of 2009, but remains relatively undervalued compared to its normalized P/E of 13.42 over the last five years. WellPoint's forward P/E of 8.54 which is also well below the normalized P/E.
Healthcare Uncertainties
The main reason why WellPoint has been in the dumpster recently centers around the uncertainty of how the new healthcare reform legislation will impact its bottom line. The health reform package will mandate insurance coverage for an additional 32 million people who are currently uninsured and also introduce limits on underwriting margins for companies like WellPoint. Overall, there doesn't appear to be anything significant that stood out in the health care that would justify the current low valuations in WellPoint, the stock seems to have been caught up in the political firestorm surrounding the legislation.
Healthcare Benefits
For example, the infusion of 32 million newly insured people who couldn't afford insurance before or were rejected by insurance companies could be seen as a driver for increased costs. But for those that wouldn't be able to pay there will be significant federal subsidies that should alleviate some of those concerns. In addition, there will likely be some flexibility for companies to spread the cost of higher-risk people among the total people currently insured.
Also, as the company with the largest membership base at over 33.7 million, WellPoint already operates on a scale that will allow it to absorb additional members without significantly affecting its cost structure. This scale will also give WellPoint negotiating leverage over service providers that would help it to preserve its margins. All in all, even if the legislation negatively affects the company's bottom line, I believe it will likely be negligible.
Bottom Line
If you're looking for bargains in the S&P 500, this list would be a good place to start - especially WellPoint Inc. A lot of stocks in the healthcare sector fell out of favor with investors during the process of healthcare reform, and these are specifically the type of areas investors should look to first when looking for undervalued stocks.

UK folding plug and travel adapter
We brought you the video for Min Kyu Choi's folding plug, but we love it so much, we couldn't help but grab some hands-on time with a prototype of the plug and travel adapter whilst chatting to its designer.
The folding plug system was recently awarded third place in the James Dyson Awards for 2009, which aims to reward and encourage innovative and practical design solutions.
"Manufacture involves insert-injection moulding", commented Min Kyu Choi, "which is expensive". Telling us that securing investment and passing all the necessary safety standards was the current focus.
The folding plug has a distinct Apple feel to it, which is no surprise as the thin MacBook Air was the inspiration for the design.
We also took a look at the travel adapter, which lets you plug in three folding plugs (which will work when folded), or opt for the double USB adapter.
You can check out Min Kyu Choi's website, link below, with lots more on the folding plug there.

Membrane Permeability: 100 Years Since Ernest Overton
Edited by

- Arnost Kleinzeller, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, U.S.A.
- Douglas Fambrough, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.
- Dale Benos, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Alabama, Birmingham, USA
Membrane permeability is fundamental to all cell biology and subcellular biology. The cell exists as a closed unit. Import and export depend upon a number of sophisticated mechanisms, such as active transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, and passive diffusion. These systems are critical for the normal housekeeping physiological functions. However, access to the cell is also taken advantage of by toxic microbes (such as cholera or ptomaine) and when designing drugs.Ernest Overton, one of the pioneers in lipid membrane research, put forward the first comprehensive theory of lipid membrane structure. His most quoted paper on the osmotic properties of cells laid the foundation for the modern concepts of membrane function, most notably important in anesthesia.This book is designed to celebrate the centennial anniversary (in the first chapter) of Overton's work. Subsequent chapters present readers with up-to-date concepts of membrane structure and function and the challenge they pose for new explorations.View full description

Capitals right wing Troy Brouwer has some strong opinions about the work habits of former Capitals sniper Alex Semin and on Monday, one day before Semin and the Carolina Hurricanes make their first visit of the season to Washington, he shared them.
"It was tough to lose his scoring ability when he wanted to play," Brouwer said, "but all in all we've been doing well without him.
"Some nights you didn't know if he was going to come to the rink. It's tough to play alongside guys like those, because you don't know what you're going to get out of them."
Semin spent seven seasons with the Capitals, recording 197 goals and 408 points in 469 games. But when the Caps elected not to re-sign Semin over the summer, the 28-year-old right wing signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Hurricanes.
Through 17 games this season Semin has four goals, 10 assists and is a plus-10 while averaging 20:49 of ice time, well above the 16:47 he averaged with the Caps last season, when he finished with 21 goals and 54 points.
Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin said he still talks often with Semin and wishes he was still a Capital.
"Yeah, of course," Ovechkin said. "He's a great player, a good guy. But it's a business and sometimes teams make decisions not to keep players. I liked playing with him. Sometimes I miss [him]. Right now I don't have Russian guys here."
Ovechkin said he expects Semin to be fired up to face the Capitals for the first time.
"Probably, yeah," he said. "He'll show up and tell them it was a mistake. Every normal player would do that."
Without Semin, the Caps have relied heavily on right wings Alex Ovechkin [8 goals], Troy Brouwer [8 goals] and Joel Ward [5 goals] to carry the offense.
"When you need that extra boost of offense you always wonder if we had him right now if he would be able to provide that," Caps defenseman Karl Alzner said, "but that's a perfect world and this isn't a perfect world. We've got to just roll with it and it's great guys like Brows and Wardo are filling in."
Brouwer clearly is not yearning for the days of sharing a locker room with Semin, saying players resented the fact he did not get more out of his natural talents.
"It can be frustrating," Brouwer said. "I know there's a lot of guys that work really, really hard to get where they are, and some guys it's a little easier because of their skill set."
Brouwer also gave a glimpse of how the culture of the Capitals' locker room has changed with three different coaches in the past year, saying it was not a good one when he arrived last season under Bruce Boudreau.
"With Bruce I was only here for a short time, but it was very lackadaisical, I would say," Brouwer said. "Guys were able to do whatever they pleased. There wasn't a whole lot of accountability.
"Then when we had a little bit of trouble and there needed to be accountability it wasn't received exactly with welcome arms, I'll say."
Brouwer said that culture changed under Dale Hunter, but the arrival of Adam Oates has allowed the Capitals' creative players to be creative while still being held accountable for the defense.
"To clarify," Brouwer said, "goal scorers still need to block shots."

London-based singer-songwriter Tara Priya has been steadily making a name for herself with her brand of R&B-infused pop, and recently released her new EP Friends Like These. The American's latest single, the sassy "Who That" blends a graceful funk beat, strings, classic '60s soul, and a wickedly catchy whistling hook and draws the listener in immediately. It's a pop gem, and you can listen to the new radio mix—a punchier, more insistent version of what you hear on the EP—below.
The thing that struck me most about reading the first issue of Titan Comics's Assassin's Creed was its focus on an element of the video game series that has faded in its interest for me over the years. This issue spends much of its time, not in the past, but in the present with a character who will be experiencing the simulated memories of an Assassin.
I was fairly intrigued by the first Assassin's Creed game's decision to frame the experience of playing an assassin during the time of the Crusades with a conceit that allowed the game to justify some of the more game-like qualities of a somewhat historical simulation. While most of the player's time with the game is spent in the guise of Altair, the game's titular assassin, the game also featured brief narrative vignettes that concerned a character named Desmond Miles. In the present, Desmond was actually hooked to a machine called the Animus that allowed him to "play" his ancestor's past (his ancestor being Altair) through the simulation of that period created by the machine. You know, like he was playing a video game.
Dustin Ragucos: Aside from being great music to set up a trailer for a new Grand Theft Auto game, "I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)" will allow one to remember Kanye West's great "Good Life" and then almost immediately forget about its existence.

The song gets dirty, but listeners will feel their grimy lives cleansed by the Persuasions samples. [9/10]

PASADENA, Calif.Bacteria have evolved different systems for secreting proteins into the fluid around them or into other cells. Some, for example, have syringe-like exterior structures that can pierce other cells and inject proteins. Another system, called a type VI secretion system, is found in about a quarter of all bacteria with two membranes. Despite being common, researchers have not understood how it works. Now a team, co-led by researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), has figured out the structure of the type VI secretion system apparatus and proposed how it might workby shooting spring-loaded poison molecular daggers.
"People aren't surprised that animals have really interesting ways to hurt each othersnakes have venom, bears have claws," says Grant Jensen, professor of biology at Caltech and coleader of the study. "But they might be surprised that a single cell within one of those animals' bodies is still 100 times larger than the bacterial cells we're talking about, and yet the bacterial cells contain weapons that are so sophisticated. That's the marvel."
The nano-weaponwhich spans a distance no longer than about 80 atoms lined up end-to-endis a tube that contracts very quickly, firing an inner dagger through the cell's membranes, into the surrounding medium and, possibly, into another cell. The tube then disassembles and can reassemble elsewhere in the cell, ready to fire another molecular dagger.
The findings, made in collaboration with researchers at Harvard Medical School, appear as an advance online publication of the journal Nature.
The work began with an accidental discovery. Researchers in the Jensen lab were using an electron cryomicroscopean electron microscope that enables researchers to observe samples in a near-native stateto image an environmental strain of Vibrio cholerae cells. Unlike traditional electron microscopyfor which samples must be fixed, dehydrated, e

Will it be faster?
MagSafe 2 has 85W as opposed to Magsafe's 45W.
I assume this means MagSafe 2 chargers will charge quicker?
If so, using the adapter on the lower one (45w) will be slower?

1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
The converter doesn't change your charging speeds at all, it just allows you to connect your old MagSafe cord to the new MagSafe 2 plug.
Obviously a 45W will be slower than a 85W in terms of charging speeds. Just expect to see the same speeds with or without the converter.

A new analysis indicates that birds don't fly alone when migrating at night. Some birds, at least, keep together on their migratory journeys, flying in tandem even when they are 200 meters or more apart.
The study, from researchers at the University of Illinois and the Illinois Natural History Survey, appears this month in Integrative and Comparative Biology. It is the first to confirm with statistical data what many ornithologists and observers had long suspected: Birds fly together in loose flocks during their nocturnal migration.
Researchers have spent decades trying to determine how birds migrate at night, when most bird migration occurs. But nighttime tracking of tiny flying objects a quarter mile to a half mile up is no easy task. They have used stationary light beams, radar-mounted tracking spot lamps and long-range radar to try to figure out what is going on in the night sky. Some have even watched birds cross the face of the moon.
Decades of such observations suggested that birds travel together at night, but not in compact flocks as they do during the day, said principal investigator Ronald Larkin, a professor of animal biology, who conducted the new study with Robert Szafoni. Larkin is a wildlife ecologist with the Illinois Natural History Survey, where Szafoni also worked as a research scientist. Sfazoni currently is an affiliate of the INHS.
Previous studies "sometimes very strongly suggested that the birds were flying tens of meters apart and yet somehow keeping together," Larkin said. But the evidence for this was "indirect and suggestive," he said.
Even if it could be established that the birds were flying in groups, Larkin said, no one knew whether they were simply being swept along together passively or whether they were actively, intentionally, traveling together.
In the new analysis, the researchers took a fresh look at bird-flight data Larkin had collected in the 1970s and '80s

Adele, Rihanna Make 2012 Time 100 List
Soul singer Adele is officially a global superstar -- she's made it onto the Time 100 list of the world's most influential people.
The Brit shot to international fame last year when her emotional rendition of "Someone Like You" at the Brit Awards became an online sensation, and she went on to scoop a record-equaling six Grammys in February.
Now the "Rolling in the Deep" hit-maker's stellar 18 months has been capped by her inclusion on the prestigious Time 100 list.
Royal bride Duchess Kate is another new name in the lineup following her wedding to Prince William last year, along with a surprise entry for her sister, Pippa Middleton, who was maid of honor at the nuptials.
Singer Rihanna, Oscar-nominated actress Viola Davis, movie boss Harvey Weinstein, President Barack Obama and screen star Tilda Swinton are also included on the 2012 list.

- White cardstock
- Black cardstock
- Card Base: Die Cuts with a View
- Place stencil in center of White Card stock. Place Post It Notes or scrap paper over the part of the image that you don't want to spray with the first color. If my video I covered the Grape leaves first and spray the Grapes with Memories Mists "Merlot".
- Remove the Post it notes without moving your stencil. Now cover the grape part of the stencil and spray Memories Mists: "Green tea" over the leaves of your grape stencil image. Remove your protective scrap paper.
- Trim your image to fit your card base or scrapbook page.
- Matte onto black card stock (see my quick trick in my video – on how to matte an image without measuring.
- Adhere Matted Image to card base for scrapbook page. Embellish to complete your project.

Sen. Murkowski discusses geopolitics of natural gas
A Wednesday forum will delve into the geopolitical and economic implications of the newfound abundance of shale oil and gas in the U.S.
The event comes on the heels of new data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration that said the U.S. has the world's second-most technically recoverable oil reserves and fourth-most technically recoverable natural-gas reserves.
Think tank the Bipartisan Policy Center is hosting the event. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), the top Republican on the Senate Energy Committee, will speak.
Other speakers at the event, which runs from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill, include former Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.), now a Bipartisan Policy Center senior fellow, and Adam Sieminski, who leads the Energy Information Administration.

Sens. Whitehouse, Warren blast GOP on climate
Liberal Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) lashed out at Republicans Tuesday for their views on climate change.
"We have to call out climate deniers. We have to call them out by name," Warren said at an annual Rhode Island energy and environment event hosted by Whitehouse at the Capitol.
Whitehouse threw several jabs at the GOP throughout the daylong event.
He said GOP resistance to the scientific consensus that human activity contributes to global warming is untenable in the long run, predicting it could cost Republicans in the 2014 elections.
"Their position is eroding," Whitehouse said.
Whitehouse also slammed several conservative groups that oppose action on climate change. He said they get a bulk of their funding from the fossil fuel industry, which has lobbied against efforts to reduce emissions.
"It's like the Hydra," Whitehouse said, referring to the mythological serpent. "Lot of heads — one creature."
Salazar tiptoeing around ethical issues in new role
Former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar joined international law firm WilmerHale last week, and learning the ropes could prove quite the ethical exercise.
The Houston Chronicle reports that the law firm helped BP win concessions from the White House in the fallout over its 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. At the same time, Salazar was leading a forceful response by the Obama administration against the British oil giant.
From the Chronicle:
Three years later, Salazar has now joined the prominent firm, where he will focus on strategic counseling as well as energy, natural resources and North American issues in a brand new Denver office.
But Salazar won't touch any of the law firm's work with BP — and other energy clients may also be off limits.
"I'm permanently walled off from any BP work and money, now and forever," Salazar said during an interview. "That's an arrangement I made. That's in place with the firm."

APP OF THE DAY: WD 2go Pro review (iPad / iPhone)
With people even more obsessed with clouds today than William Wordsworth was back in the 1800s, it makes sense that network attached storage (NAS) box manufacturers are keen to jump on the bandwagon.
However, it's all well and good calling something a "personal cloud", but if that only works when you're at home, or via a complex process of port forwarding and fixed IP address assignment, then it's no substitute for the consumer-friendly external solutions, such as Dropbox.
That's why Western Digital has an iPad and iPhone application that makes accessing its NAS/personal cloud drives, both locally and remotely, a piece of cake...
WD 2go Pro
- Format
- iPad (version tested) / iPhone / iPod touch
- Price
- £1.99
- Where
- iTunes
Designed specifically to work with Western Digital's My Book Live and My Book Live Duo network storage drives, WD 2go Pro is an expanded version of WD 2go, which is available free on iTunes. However, the extra features offered by the paid version are well worth the nigh-on two quid extra.
Both applications allow you to access your compatible NAS box(es) either locally or via an internet connection, and both offer the ability to look at documents, pictures, video and music stored thereon using a variety of iDevices - but only the Pro version will let you download copies of your files for offline viewing.
You will also need the Pro version if you want to email files, either directly or with a web link, print them through AirPrint, or open them up in an external application.
The first thing you need to do before sparking up the app is to assign each WD My Book Live with a 4-digit access code. Then enter it into the app and bingo, no matter where you are you'll see your own "personal cloud" pop up in the side menu. You can then browse through it to your heart's content, and open up any stored files.
Well, we say "any" files, but thanks to the limitation of the iPad (or iPhone) itself, you can only access those that are compatible.
For example, video playback is restricted to MOV, MP4 and M4V file types. It won't play AVI, MKV or MPG videos as the device doesn't naturally do so. Nor can you send those files to a third-party app that will play them - they just won't work at all.
Most music files we tried worked, including MP3s and M4As, and the same went for picture formats and documents. PDFs were even supported naturally, and it became an ideal way to read converted comic books remotely.
The offline feature works simply too, all you have to do is click the clip symbol at the top of the menu box and then clip whatever files you would like to make available. Bigger files will take a while to download, especially if you're accessing the system remotely - and you do need the right amount of spare internal storage - but it's great if you're about to travel in a plane, for instance.
The final stand-out feature is the ability to email content to yourself or another. It is restricted in filesize for actual attachments, but we managed to send a link to a full HD movie, which then started to download when we clicked on it in the received email (all 1.9GB of it).
OK, so WD 2go Pro is not for everyone - you have to have a Western Digital network drive for starters - but we find it very useful, for work and play and especially when on our travels. It'd be better if we could also upload files to the drive(s) through the app, and would hope WD looks into that for the future.

In the midst of winter — during a week in which three snow storms, one a possible blizzard, are predicted — do you long for spring?
As I write this, it's a cold, but beautiful day. The sun is shining and the sky is mostly blue with wispy strands of clouds. The calm before the storm. For some, the promise of a significant snowfall is reason to rejoice. It means skiing and snowmobiling and sledding and building snow forts.

WALDOBORO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The Knox County Sheriff's Department says a woman has been charged with operating under the influence after an early Sunday morning head-on crash.
Knox County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Tim Carroll says Jillian Richards, 24-years-old of Waldoboro, was traveling south on Route 1, when her vehicle crossed the center line. Carroll says Richards struck a truck, head-on, being operated by John Engwer, 53-years-old, of Wrentham, Massachusetts.
Carroll says Richards likely fell asleep at the wheel immediately before the crash. Officials say Richards told them she was returning from a methadone clinic prior to the accident.
Officials report Richards was flown by LifeFlight to Central Maine Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. Engwer was transported to Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockport with minor injuries.
