Community Reviews
I've been involved with SRA for 1/2 dozen years, and for most of that time as a member of the Board of Directors. As a Board Member, I have been most impressed with the results of the organization. Many nonprofits are working valiently to improve access to college for underepresented youth, but this is one of the few organizations that actually get these students through college (with an amazing 90% graduation rate) and into the workforce. This requires so much more than financial support, as the SRA staff and volunteers become a new family for these students -- 65% of whom are foster care youth or even homeless. Plus, SRA has strong financial stewardship, an active Board, and stellar management by the executive team.

I studied for a BSc.Hons in Genetics at the University of Leeds. Following a brief period in London (Charing Cross & Westminster Hospital) developing a model of human artificial skin for research into Psoriasis, I returned to Genetics in order to obtain training in molecular genetics techniques and undertook an MSc in Molecular Biology at the University of Leicester.
From then, I have applied molecular approaches to the study of protein trafficking and developed recombinant enzymatic markers (based on Horseradish Peroxidase) to help delineate the protein transport pathways in animal cells and obtained a PhD in Cell Biology from University College London on this work. I then applied my molecular and cell biological training to investigate the biogenesis and trafficking of GABA(A) receptors at the MRC LMCB, London before arriving in Dundee in 1999 to continue these studies into receptor trafficking. In Dundee, I expanded my interests into the related 5-HT3 receptors and we are identifying trafficking mechanisms that control the delivery of new receptors to the cell surface and their subsequent removal. Our interests in both excitatory and inhibitory receptors spurred a project into the early neuronal responses to hyperactivity, such as the loss of synapses, dendritic beading and mitochondrial depolarisation/structural collapse. More recently, we have become interested in how these alterations in excitation and inhibition relate to chronic neurological conditions, in both humans and insects (honeybees and bumblebees) and we have a great interest in the impact of environmental toxins on human (and insect) health.

The main focus of this laboratory is the study of the role of ligand-gated ion channel biology to the control of excitation/inhibition in neurons of the brain. Our studies concentrate on two family members of the cys-loop superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels (GABAA and 5-HT3 receptors) as well as the NMDA receptor subtype of glutamate receptors, to obtain an understanding of how such mechanisms contribute to pathological states such as epilepsy and ischaemia.
Cys-loop receptor assembly and trafficking
This research investigates the mechanisms of the Cys-loop (in particular 5-HT3 and GABAA) receptor biogenesis and how transport to the cell surface is controlled. We are using recombinant expression of novel cDNA constructs expressing chimaeric 'living colour' fusion proteins. We are using a combination of cell line, primary neuronal culture, organotypic culture and transgenic models to study these events.
Movie 2: RIC-3a aggregates consume 'RIC-3 diffuse slicks'
Our interests include the role(s) of chaperone molecules such as RIC-3 on 5-HT3 receptor trafficking and targeting with a particular focus on how these processes are influenced by excessive exposure to serotonin. Such events may be relevant to psychosis, depression and irritable bowel syndrome. Similarly, we are interested in the responses (dynamic trafficking) of GABA(A) and glutamate (NMDA) receptors following excessive exposure to GABA and glutamate. Understanding how such a balance in excitatbility is altered may provide important information regarding alterations in behaviour and future vulnerability to neurotoxic insults.
Spreading neurotoxicity: Spreading poison versus spreading warning
We have shown previously that rapid (<10 min) neuronal morphological changes occur in response to neuronal insults as a result of NMDA receptor activation. It is not clear whether these changes are an attempt at neuronal protection or are early signs of neuronal toxicity. Interestingly, neuronal inactivation is also induced by excessive glutamate receptor activation. We are currently studying the events that follow a localised insult to monitor how these responses spread throughout neuronal networks and what impact this has to neuronal survival. We are investigating how neuronal inactivation is achieved and whether this process may be manipulated to provide better neuroprotection within the surrounding (penumbra) region of a lesion and thus limiting the spread of neurotoxicity.

This is a multi-disciplinary research programme (~£2M) studying the effects of miticides and pesticides on the nervous system on bees (honeybees and bumblebees). This involves research at the cellular and pathway level (University of Dundee and UCL), individual bees and whole colonies (Newcastle University and Royal Holloway University of London) and involves field studies (Scottish Beekeeper's Association). This multi-disciplinary approach will allow us to integrate laboratory-based findings at multiple distinct levels into cohesive conclusions on the effects of these chemicals to bee health and correlate this information to the experiences of beekeepers. This high profile issue (Guardian article) and (AVAAZ.org) ) is highly controversial. To investigate this issue, this programme (2011-2015) has been funded by the Insect Pollinators Initiative as part of the Living with Environmental Change (LWEC) partnership. Further information.
Honeybee decline has been identified as a major world problem and is estimated to contribute in excess of £440M to the UK economy every year. A similar decline in other native pollinators is also a major concern for our biodiversity and food security. The major identified natural threats to UK honeybees are Varroa mites and the viruses they transmit, Foul Brood diseases, Nosema and Small Hive Beetle. The control of Varroa infestation often involves the chronic exposure of a colony to miticides. These miticides target the Varroa nervous system, in particular, cholinergic neurotransmission. The central basis of our hypothesis is that chronic miticide treatment may put honeybees under significant chemical stress to the extent that they become vulnerable to otherwise sub-toxic doses of other pesticides. Honeybee pollination is important for the fertilization of a large amount of our fruit, nuts, vegetables and livestock feed. The other major pollinator of crops and native plants are bumblebees as they fly earlier in the season and are increasingly important for the pollination of UK crops such as potatoes, berries, red clover, alfalfa and greenhouse crops. The loss of bees would also have a major impact on the production of native food for wildlife, with unknown knock-on effects at the ecosystem level. While it is widely acknowledged that honeybee populations are in global decline, how the different factors are interacting to produce this decline is poorly understood. In addition to the natural threats and the chronic use of miticides, bees are also exposed to sub-toxic levels of pesticides (including herbicides and fungicides) that are vital to maintenance of crop quality and yield and so, food security. When bees are exposed to multiple pesticides, these may synergize to cause enhanced toxicity to bee populations. In order to understand the potential for such synergistic threats, we need to consider the major neuronal targets in bees for the agents used (miticides and insecticides). These targets include action potential firing (sodium channels) and the balance between excitatory (cholinergic signalling) and inhibitory (GABA and glutamate-gated chloride channels) neurotransmission (Figure 1). Perturbation of these pathways disrupts brain function in all animals, leading to locomotor, behavioural or social problems. The insect brain structure involved in bee learning (olfactory and visual) is the mushroom body. Cholinergic neurotransmission is the major excitatory pathway in this brain structure. The responses are terminated by the rapid inactivation of the released acetylcholine (ACh), by acetylcholinesterase (AChE). In insects, this excitatory activity is balanced by the inhibitory actions of chloride-gated GABA or glutamate receptors. The pharmacological manipulation of any these individual steps may have a profound effect on honeybee learning.
Given the central importance of ACh signalling in the insect brain, it has become a major target for the development of insecticides. The AChE inhibitors (eg. coumaphos [Checkmite]), have been shown to alter neuronal morphology and bee foraging behaviour. Interestingly, AChE activity decreases naturally in adult foragers and this decrease correlates with enhanced olfactory learning. Pyrethroids, (eg. fluvinate in Apistan) target neurotransmission by potentiating the voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav's) and so prolongs action potential firing. Neonicotinoid pesticides act as partial agonists at honeybee nAChRs, but are not inactivated by AChE and may lead to prolonged receptor activation. Some neonicotinoids are more resistant to cytochrome P450 detoxicification, or generate toxic metabolites. That neonicotinoids decrease bee foraging behaviour [9] is counter-intuitive, suggesting that the role of these pesticides is inconsistent. However, the long-term consequences of the chronic exposure to neonicotinoids, such as receptor desensitization and agonist-induced receptor internalization, are unknown. To add to the confusion, imidacloprid (a neonicotinoid) exhibits "off target" activity by operating as a GABA receptor antagonist. Other pesticides, including cyclodienes and phenylpyrazoles, also inhibit GABA receptors, whereas, the 'natural' pesticide, thymol (the active ingredient of the miticide, Apiguard) is a GABA receptor agonist. Avermectins target the other major inhibitory receptor, the glutamate-gated chloride channel. Domestic insecticides also contain 'synergist' agents, e.g. piperonyl butoxide, to reduce the pyrethroid detoxification by cyctochrome P450. Despite this potential for pesticide toxicity to bees, analyses of actual doses found in pollen, bees or their honey are below toxic levels. We will investigate whether pesticides, at levels that are sub-toxic by themselves, may synergise with in-hive miticides to alter the brain activity of bees, disrupt their locomotion, 'higher cognitive function' (eg. learning and memory), bee communication or social interaction.
This research brings together a group of scientists with diverse but complimentary expertise in cellular and molecular neuroscience, neuroethology and behavioural ecology. Using a systems biology approach, we are performing a series of integrated interdisciplinary experiments to address these key issues. We are exploring the responses of bees to sub-lethal exposure to miticide/pesticide combinations at multiple levels of organisation: We (Connolly lab) will investigate individual neuronal responses to determine neurotoxicity, sub-lethal neuronal responses such as dendritic beading (movie 1), mitochondrial structural collapse (movie 2) and mitochondrial depolarisation (movie 3) and long term changes to receptor expression. The results of these studies will inform investigations into neurotransmission using fluorescence assays (Connolly lab) and electrophysiology, including plasticity (Harvey lab)

(As part of this work Dr Raine will use Radio Frequency Identification tags to monitor bee foraging by record individual bees as they leave and re-enter the nest (Figure 2). A comparison of the difference in the weight of the bee when it returns to the nest, to when it leaves on a subsequent foraging trip, will provide information on the delivery of new resources for the colony.

An important tool for the screening of future agricultural chemicals is the availability of pest species and honeybee cell lines. This aspect of the programme is being conducted at University College London in the lab of Professor Neil Millar
The overall conclusions of this project will be related to the results of the Scottish Beekeepers Association (SBA members' survey. This will be obtained over a 3-year period to investigate the significance of our findings to the real environment. In particular, SBA will survey, using a large number of honeybee colonies across Scotland, whether particular miticide treatment regimes are detrimental to honeybee health and performance or cause honeybees to become more vulnerable to exposure to other pesticides encountered more sporadically. From this information we hope to correlate the health, productivity and overwintering survivorship of honeybee bee colonies with respect to miticide load and potential pesticide exposure.

I teach a course on Molecular Neurobiology to 3rd Year Pharmacology & Neuroscience students. This course cuts right across biological boundaries to relate the discovery of genes, how they are regulated, protein biogenesis, function and subcellular targeting and how these impact on neurological diseases. The course then moves into characterising the mechanism of action of disease-causing mutations (eg. Channelopathies) and finally discusses the future prospects (and problems) of rectifying such genetic faults using gene therapy techniques. The course includes the practical research methods in the study of these processes. In addition, a three week practical is run to compliment the taught lectures. This involves a full project in which the students each work on their own samples within small groups. Currently, this involves screening for the generation of gene mutations (in the lab class) followed by the recombinant expression of the mutant in tissue culture cells and finally fluorescence microscopy to identify the subcellular localisation of the mutant protein. The results of the whole class (several different mutations) are then incorporated into an integrated conclusion. This is the first experience most students have of real research (we don't know! As part of the ideology of the course, the assignment in this course offers the opportunity to engage with a primary research paper and an opportunity (optional) to deliver a short talk in public (the whole class).
I also deliver three hour lectures in the final (fourth) honours year on Protein trafficking in synaptic plasticity and mechanisms of neuronal excitotoxicity. I also usually supervise 1-2 lab-based honours student projects each year.
I am external examiner for the Medical Sciences MRes course for Newcastle University that includes programmes on Ageing & Health, Animal Behaviour, Biotechnology & Business Enterprise, Biosciences, Cancer, Epidemiology, Immunology, Medical & Molecular Biosciences, Medical Genetics, Molecular Microbiology, Nanomedicine, Neuroscience, Stems Cells & Regenerative Medicine, Systems Biology, Toxicology, Translational Medicine & Therapeutics and Transplantation.

MacAskill Accused of Opening the 'Back Door' to Illegal Immigrants
Byline: Andrew Picken Scottish Political Reporter
JUSTICE Secretary Kenny MacAskill was yesterday blamed for helping to turn Scotland into a 'back door' for illegal immigrants.
Scores of migrants have been flooding through the Stranraer and Cairnryan ferry terminals after customs staff were axed by the Westminster Government.
But Mr MacAskill has added to the chaos by approving controversial plans to redeploy 14 of the 80 police officers based at Stranraer to Scotland's airports.
Around 20 suspected illegal immigrants have recently been stopped at the Wigtownshire ports, but it is feared many more are getting through because of the cuts.
Foreigners are taking advantage of generous visa rules in the Republic of Ireland, then crossing the border into Northern Ireland before using Scotland as the 'back door' to enter mainland Britain illegally.
The withdrawal of the officers by Home Secretary Theresa May's UK Border Agency (UKBA) has made Stranraer and Cairnryan a 'nexus point' for illegal immigration, according to Dumfries and Galloway's chief constable Patrick Shearer.
He said his hard-pressed officers had even been forced to release illegal immigrants because of a lack of support from the UKBA.
He added: 'We have been evaluating the continued impact of immigration cases on our ports and, as we anticipated, we have, in fact, seen an increase in immigration cases when measured against the same period in 2009-10. The increases we are identifying do not support the UKBA's position that they would be able to address the immigration issues on this route. …

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The Obama administration may close the controversial detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba within one year if he signs a draft order which was circulated Wednesday, according to media reports. The draft order also calls for an immediate review on how to deal with remaining prisoners and the feasibility of moving prisoners to facilities in the United States, the reports said. It is not clear when Obama will issue the order but there are about 245 people detained at Guantanamo, the Associated Press reported.

I also like the deal sites. I joined Hautelook after you posted the first one about it, and I go back several times a week to check it out. You might like this site, they have deals every day on tons of items–not a lot of cosmetics but they do just about everything else; clothing, household items, shoes, art, jewelry, etc. All of their deals come from small businesses that are design-minded. Be warned though; the stuff they have is really addicting, I go check every day for the new items!
Coastal Scents is having a sale right now. The 88 Original Palette is like $14 and their 12 peice brush set is $9.95 right now. I ordered to 88 palette yesterday and I can't wait! Thanks for sharing deal, Leesha!
I actually went on Hautelook and Urban decay and decided to buy from Urban decay instead because it had all of the same stuff for sale ( and more) and the urban bride set was a dollar cheaper. The only thing Urban Decay didn't have on their sale was the Jones eyeshadow. They even had all of their loose shadows for sale for only $1.00, so I picked up 6 of the colors, 2 each about 2 weeks ago. It's definitely a good idea to keep an eye out for good deals on Urban Decay's site under the "SALE" tab. :)
I know you're a huge fan of the cream eyeshadows by urban decay. I love using the lighter colors for a quick look, but how do you use the darker colors? I am having a hard time figuring out how to use those in an effective manner.
Yes please!! I just bought a ton of the UD cream shadows too and would really LOVE it if you did a tutorial using them!!
Man, I missed most of the stuff on Rue la la (Le Creuset) ;-( Boo, that's what I get for not having read your blog sooner!!
Since your living in Austin hope your able to make to ACL this weekend, it is ALWAYS a blast!!! Enjoy ;-)

Loved my wedding toppers!Reviewed on 9/08/2013 Nicoletta E
We had our wedding toppers custom made and Danielle did an AMAZING job at making them look just like us. We received so many compliments at the wedding for this idea and now keep it on our shelf as a little memory of our special day. Definitely recommend!
Wedding Cake ToppersReviewed on 4/25/2013 Crystal W
I used D.S. MeeBee Custom Event Design and Planning for our wedding cake toppers. Danielle did an awesome job for us! She was very friendly, extremely responsive and provided a very quick turnaround. For our wedding cake toppers, she asked me to send her a picture of my husband... Read More and I, and to give her a few details about our wedding. She does her best to customize the toppers so that things such as hair color/style, eye color, bouquet and boutonnière match the bride and groom. Our toppers were super cute and we received a lot of compliments on them. It's also nice because you can keep the cake toppers afterwards. We have ours in our hutch along with some other wedding memorabilia and I always enjoy looking at them. I would highly recommend Danielle and D.S.MeeBee Custom Event Design and Planning to anyone!
Customized cake topperReviewed on 3/31/2013 Maureen M
I would absolutely recommend using Danielle to create a customized wedding topper for your wedding cake! We loved our personalized topper of police officer and his bride (wearing a dress that looked just like the one I wore for the big day)! Danielle was great to work with,... Read More very professional and extremely quick to get back to me with answers to all of my questions. I would highly recommend her as a vendor to other brides! I was really impressed with D.S.

What's up with weak credit? Five years into the economic crisis credit is still barely growing, and even declining in many advanced economies. Weak credit growth is a major factor holding back the economic recovery and governments have tried every policy they can come up with to jumpstart credit. Still, banks don't seem to want to lend. Or is it the corporate sector and households that can't afford to borrow? Many feel these policies are not working. What are policymakers to do?
Our analysis in the most recent Global Financial Stability Report tries to shed light on all this darkness to help countries figure out how to make these policies work. It turns out there is no cookie-cutter solution: the problem differs from country to country and changes over time. For example, in a number of euro area countries, a lackluster demand for loans limited credit growth early in the crisis, but then banks became reluctant to supply more loans as the crisis in Europe intensified in 2012.

Testing Applications with Xnee
Xnee can record user actions during a session and then replay those actions. By recording sessions when testing a program, Xnee automatically can test the program for you later. These test sessions can be replayed before every release, or every night, to ensure the quality of your program. Is it as easy as it sounds? Almost.
Xnee doesn't test only GUIs. You also can use Xnee to test command-line programs by making a few test scripts that test all the options of a command-line program and analyze the results. Xnee also has been used to test how much traffic is being sent over a large network with numerous thin clients. Support for distributing events to multiple displays has been added if you want to test the same cases on multiple machines at the same time. Besides testing programs, Xnee also is used to demonstrate programs. In this case, Xnee acts as a patient demonstrator, doing the same job over and over again without complaining.
In 1997, Henric Johansson and I wrote our master's thesis on recording and replaying X events. We implemented a nonfree recorder and replayer for a Swedish company for its internal purposes. After finding a job, I often lacked a free test program for X11, so I decided to implement one on my own, using the experience gained from the thesis. The Xnee Project started in the summer of 1999 and was licensed under GPL from the start. In November 2002, version 1.0 was released, and by the end of February 2003, Xnee was dubbed a GNU package.
Before we go on with Xnee, this short introduction to X explains a lot of the terms used in this article. X is a window-based user interface system for various platforms. The X server is a program that handles all the hardware and actually does the drawing on the screen. On GNU/Linux systems, XFree86 is the most-used X server. X programs are known as clients; examples are xterm and Galeon. The clients communicate with an X server using the X protocol.
In this article we concentrate on the packets used to send information between the X server and its clients. These packets are called Event, Request, Reply and Error and are referred to here as protocol data. The following list shows the X11 protocol data description:
Request is sent by the client to the server. The server is asked to perform some action or to send some information.
Reply is sent by the server to the client as a response to some request from the client. Not all requests result in a reply.
Event is sent by the server to the client to inform the client of user input or that something has happened that the client may want to do something about, for example, the client is out of focus.
Error is sent by the server to the client if a request wasn't valid.
The most interesting thing here is every time the user interacts with the computer using the mouse or the keyboard the X server sends the appropriate client one or more events. Some of these events result directly from user input. These events are referred to as device events. The device events are ButtonPress, ButtonRelease, MotionNotify, KeyPress and KeyRelease. If we could record all of these events during a session, we would have a complete description of all the actions the user performed. If we had a robot that could read these events if they were printed to a file or on paper, the robot then could interact with the system as the user did when recording, and we would have ourselves a test robot. Or, even better, if we had support for faking those events, we would have a test robot made of software. Fortunately, support exists for both recording and replaying in X.
To record X protocol data we can use the extensions RECORD or XTrap. There are other ways to accomplish recording, such as sniffing the X socket, but we'll focus on RECORD as it's what Xnee uses. To replay events, we can use both the XTest extension and the RECORD extension. During replay, the RECORD extension is used to synchronize what's happening when replaying with what happened when the session was recorded.
The RECORD extension sends copies of the data sent between the clients and the server to the client requesting it. Using the RECORD extension, Xnee can record all protocol data the user wants and save it to a file to replay later.
The XTest extension can reproduce or fake all device events. This extension lets Xnee fake user actions, such as moving the pointer, pressing and releasing a key or pressing and releasing a button. No other data can be replayed.
how to log mouse clicks
How can i record mouse clicks in addition to mouse motions with cnee?
i am using this command but it it is only recording mouse motions:
$cnee --record --mouse --events-to-record -1 --device-event-range ButtonPress-MotionNotify

Brinkman number
The Brinkman number (Br) is a dimensionless number related to heat conduction from a wall to a flowing viscous fluid, commonly used in polymer processing. There are several definitions; one is
- μ is the dynamic viscosity;
- u is the flow velocity;
- κ is the thermal conductivity;
- T0 is the bulk fluid temperature;
- Tw is the wall temperature;
- Pr is the Prandtl number
- Ec is the Eckert number[1]
It is the ratio between heat produced by viscous dissipation and heat transported by molecular conduction. i.e., the ratio of viscous heat generation to external heating. The higher the value of it, the lesser will be the conduction of heat produced by viscous dissipation and hence larger the temperature rise.[2][3]
In, for example, a screw extruder, the energy supplied to the polymer melt comes primarily from two sources:
- viscous heat generated by shear between parts of the flow moving at different velocities;
- direct heat conduction from the wall of the extruder.
The former is supplied by the motor turning the screw, the latter by heaters. The Brinkman number is a measure of the ratio of the two.

A1C outperforms fasting glucose in predicting heart disease and stroke risk, study finds,,,,
WEDNESDAY, March 3 (HealthDay News) -- The newer hemoglobin A1C test predicts diabetes as well as the traditional fasting blood sugar test, but it beats that old standard in predicting a patient's future risk of heart disease and stroke, new research shows.
After adjusting for common cardiovascular disease risk factors, the study found that while A1C levels high enough to diagnose diabetes were associated with nearly twice the risk of coronary heart disease, no such association was found with fasting glucose readings high enough to trigger a diabetes diagnosis.
The A1C test is also known as a glycated hemoglobin test, and using a small blood sample, it measures your average blood sugar levels for the past two to three months.
"Our data show that glycated hemoglobin is a really potent risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. If you have abnormal glycated hemoglobin results, you should be targeted for diabetes and cardiovascular disease interventions," said the study's lead author, Elizabeth Selvin, an assistant professor of epidemiology and medicine in the department of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore.
In January, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommended that doctors could begin using the A1C test for diagnosis of diabetes. Previously, the test wasn't recommended because it hadn't been standardized from lab to lab. The ADA set the level for diagnosis of diabetes at 6.5 percent or higher, and the diagnosis of pre-diabetes for levels of 5.7 to 6.4 percent.
The A1C percentage is the amount of a person's hemoglobin that is glycated or glycosylated.
For the current study, Selvin and her colleagues measured A1C from more than 11,000 stored blood samples from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, which began in 1990. None

I'm leaving to Spain tomorrow morning for a couple of days. I was wondering if I'd take my trusty FM2n or my fragile Canon P along - but I know that I won't have time (or selfpower) to do serious photographing in the early morning hours or late in the evening - so why bother.
Eventually I packed one small digital P&S for those ubiquitous sundowner photos with the 3£ minisize tripod, one Oly 35 RC and one Oly 35 Trip for my better half. I know that with this equipment I'm able to shoot and make normal size prints that only an expert is able to say they came from a small compact.

Lone Star Choppaz, a Houston-based percussion group shown here, will be featured in Mexia's Martin Luther King Jr. commemoration this coming weekend. The parade starts at 11 a.m., with the lineup beginning at 10:30 in a route that starts and ends at the Mexia Civic Center, at the intersection of South McKinney and Main streets.

January means it's time to commemorate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., and admirers of the late Dr. King are planning a parade and two programs this coming weekend in Mexia.
The celebration of King's life and work begins Saturday morning, Jan. 18, with a parade at 11 a.m. Lineup for those interested in participating is at 10:30 on McKinney Street in front of the Civic Center.
Event organizer Ada Connor is encouraging people to enter floats, bands, cars, trucks, 4-wheelers, bicycles, motorcycles, go-carts, horses – or just walk to show solidarity with the ideals of equality and dignity for all people.
The theme this year, she said, is "Unity in our community: Keeping the dream alive."

Limestone County residents who break the law have the opportunity to get their lives back on track thanks to a Maryland man who initiated the concept of probation 172 years ago.
According to the American Probation and Parole Association, a Boston cobbler named John Augustus convinced a Boston Police Court in 1841 to release to his custody a man arrested for drunkenness.
Fortunately, Augustus' efforts to rehabilitate the man were deemed successful, and Augustus began taking other offenders on probation, despite resistance from the police and prison personnel, who were paid on commission for locking up offenders.

Mexia survived its portion of the notorious "Polar Vortex" that brought horrifyingly low temperatures to most all of the country earlier this week, but no records were broken and the front has moved on.
Historically, the average January temperatures for Mexia have been a daily high of 57.4 and a low of 35.3, according to figures gathered during the years 1904 through 2012.
On the night of Sunday, Jan. 5, the low here reached 25.4 degrees. On Monday, the low dropped to 16.5 degrees, while Tuesday night, Jan. 7, the temperature fell to 18.2 degrees.

Leroy Goff has a dream for Mexia, a big dream. If all goes according to plan, Mexia could see a new community center rise on land just north of Mexia High School on Ross Avenue.
Goff has been building a house on the land for about two years basically from scrap, and he and his wife, Evelyn, are living in it temporarily, though the structure is not finished.
Most of their lives, the Goffs lived in Corsicana, but Leroy Goff said he has been preaching in the Mexia area off and on since 1970.
He has pastored at New Hope Baptist Church in Tehuacana, he said, built Rising Star Community Church in Tehuacana, has been affiliated with Haynes Temple COGIC in Mexia and Taylor Church of God in Christ in Wortham.
Limestone County commissioners made decisions at their last meeting of the year to ensure the lines of communication remain open between the County Appraisal Board and the County Clerk's office after the Appraisal Board moves out of the Courthouse basement in a few weeks. The court also approved changes involving the DA's office and several other financial matters.
Limestone County Chief Appraiser Karen Wietzikoski updated county commissioners at their Dec. 23 meeting on the Board's upcoming move to its own building beginning on Jan. 15. As part of that move, the court approved setting up unlimited Internet access to the County Clerk's land records for the Appraisal Board.

Everybody needs to have a hobby, says Jack Beene, of Mexia, and his love of old tractors defines his.
Beene, now retired from sales and marketing after 38 years with Temple-Inland, spends a good deal of his free time restoring old tractors. He never tires of working on, talking about, or driving them. Recently, he spoke on his hobby to his fellow members of the Rotary Club of Mexia.
"I've always enjoyed the farm and tinkering with things," he said. "My great-granddad bought the farm in 1893. His son, my granddad, had it after that, then my dad farmed after my granddad."
That makes Jack Beene and his brothers, Don Beene and Bobby Beene, the fourth generation to own the farm. They divided up the original land among themselves and each has his house, but they share in a cattle business.

Limestone County commissioners court addressed several issues concerning the county airport at their Dec. 23 meeting, including those involving hay-cutting rights, the cable bill and the job of expanding the taxiway.
The county had advertised for bids on those wishing to cut hay at the airport, but only one was received, that of Frank Sandford, the current holder of those rights.
"He bid $1,826 for a 12-month period," County Judge Daniel Burkeen told the commissioners. "It works out to $16.60 per acre."
The court approved Sandford's bid, and County Clerk Peggy Beck noted that Sanford had the option to renew the contract at the end of the 12 months.
Some of the residents in the Mexia area who like plants and gardens work together through the Mexia Garden Club to promote this past time.
Garden Club President Gayle Beene spoke to the Mexia Lions Club recently about the purpose of the garden club, its activities, history and accomplishments. She also encouraged anyone interested to join the group. Though most members are women, the club is open to men, too.
Apart from the members' personal enjoyment of gardening, the club's goals are to study and encourage interest in gardening, encourage civic planting, and protect wildflowers and birds.
The club meets monthly for nine months of the year – they break for summer – with each meeting featuring an informative speaker on some aspect of gardening.

This mirror does not show me.
All I see is a girl, pale as the moonlight,
The ghost of a heart once pure white.
But when I lift my hand, she lifts hers too.
Who is this girl? She's blurred into ash hues.
There's something, though, that screams out loud:
A sparkle in her eye proclaims, "I AM PROUD."
A twitch at her lips, a fourth of a smile
Surfaces from a decade's exile.
A burst of a rainbow, a ray of sunshine,
'I'M GOING TO LIVE," is today's headline.
So now, I finally see me.

MRC intern Eugene Gibilaro found that on CBS's Sunday Morning yesterday, movie critic David Edelstein politicized his movie review of "The Lake House." Edelstein discusses time travel movies and describes the plot of "The Lake House," as:

"I even loved the incredibly dumb time travel romance "The Lake House," where Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock send letters back and forth between 2004 and 2006."

Seems Edelstein couldn't resist the opportunity to interject his political philosophy into the review as he alluded to the 2004 election and the fact that he believes George Bush and the Republican Party stole Ohio:

"If I could send mail to someone in 2004, I'd suggest, oh, paying closer attention to the voting booths in Ohio. But that's me."

Edelstein admitted his political beliefs in his review of Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11" for the liberal website slate.com:

"Along with many other polite liberals, I cringed last year when Moore launched into his charmless, pugilistic acceptance speech at the Academy Awards. Oh, how vulgar, I thought—couldn't he at least have been funny? A year later, I think I might have been too hard on the fat prick. Six months before her death in 1965, the great novelist Dawn Powell wrestled in her diary with the unseemliness of political speech during an "artistic" event: "Lewis Mumford gave jolt to the occasion and I realized I had gotten as chicken as the rest of America because what he said—we had no more right in Vietnam than Russia had in Cuba—was true but I did not think he should use his position to declaim this. Later I saw the only way to accomplish anything is by 'abusing' your power." Exactly. Fahrenheit 9/11 is not a documentary for the ages, it is an act of counterpropaganda that has a boorish, bullying force. It is, all in all, a legitimate abuse of power."

In addition to slate.com, Edelstein also is the movie reviewer for the NPR program "Fresh Air With Terry Gross." Given his history and who he works for, it's no surprise that Edelstein may believe the Republicans cheated. But in reality his conclusion is about as historically accurate as the Oliver Stone film "JFK," which I'm sure he loved.

This article describes the Auto Extend List feature, which was introduced in Microsoft Excel 2000 to address one of the most common tasks in Excel: extending an existing list. When you turn on extended formats and formulas, Excel automatically formats new data that you type at the end of a list to match the preceding rows, and automatically copies formulas that are repeated in every row. This new feature is turned on by default.
Selecting the Auto Extend List FeatureTo turn the Auto Extend List feature on and off, follow these steps:
How Auto Extended Formatting WorksFor formats or formulas to be extended in a list, they must consistently appear several times in the preceding rows. For a format to be extended, the format must appear in at least three of the five list rows preceding the new row. For formulas, the formula must appear in at least four of the five list rows preceding the new row. For extended formatting to work, you must exit edit mode. Because of this, auto extend formatting is not triggered by a Paste action.
An Example of Auto Extending a Format
An Example of Auto Extending a Formula
Rules for Auto Extended FormattingWhen you enter a blank cell, Excel checks whether there is an actual list, and where in the list the active cell is located. Excel scans five cells up from the active cell, checking for consistent cells. If the cells seem consistent, Excel assumes that the active cell below is in a column of a list. Excel then scans five cells to the left for consistent cells. If these five cells are consistently formatted then Excel assumes that the active cell is in a row list. If Excel does not find cells consistently formatted in either direction, it assumes that the active cell is not in a list.
After determining that the active cell is in a list, Excel applies the following additional rules:
When Auto Extended Formatting May Not WorkBecause Excel automatically applies Auto Extended Formatting, there are situations that may cause this feature to not work exactly as prescribed. The following list explains when the Auto Extend formatting may not work as expected:
Auto Extending and BordersIf all the cells in the scan region have consistent vertical borders, Excel extends the same vertical border formatting. All cells in the list, including the cells that contain the headings, must have borders applied, before Excel can extend them.
Excel can extend both the right vertical and left vertical borders; however, it does not extend the bottom and top borders. This behavior is by design because a horizontal border may denote the end of a list.
If there is any variation in border attributes, such as style or color, then the vertical border won't be extended. For example, if Excel scans upward and sees that cells have a right border, but one of the right borders is a different color, it will not extend the right border.
When Auto Extended Formulas May Not WorkFormulas copy down if four of the last five cells contain a similar formula and the cell above the active cell contains the formula that you want copied down. There are times when formulas may not extend. The following list contains examples of formulas that Excel will not copy down.

This is a true miracle. The description below is true to the last word. It reads like a miracle - because it is one.
With contributions from: Greg Arce, Neil Tobin and Richard Osterlind
The Prediction:
A prediction is sealed in an envelope and held by an audience member the entire presentation. No switches.
The Game:
On stage; a table, 5 chairs and a deck of cards. 5 players (spectators) come up to play a hand of blackjack. Cards are shuffled by a random player and re-cased to avoid any tampering by the performer as he explains about blackjack. No false shuffles. No Sleights. One player deals a face-down card to each player followed by a face-up card.
The Kicker:
All players are given the option to switch seats.
The Climax:
The performer tells about a vision he had that morning of a person playing blackjack and receiving the same hand, over and over again from the dealer. He then names out loud that exact envisioned blackjack hand; total and card names and states that he also wrote down a description of this person in a sealed envelope that an audience member now holds.
For the first time, the players are instructed to look at their face-down card. One player has that exact hand.
The audience member holding the envelope, now opens it and reads it aloud only to reveal a detailed description of the player with the exact hand the performer had envisioned, earlier that morning!
Bonus Effect: Back to the Future 2.
"Once again we have a simple idea that will pack a punch. This is a routine that will allow the performer to squeeze a lot of mystery out of it and yet is not at all difficult to do." - Greg Arce
"This is great! Really a killer effect with a great visual impact." - Tony Razzano, Past President, PEA
"Don't bypass the second feature, Back to the Future 2. It uses my favorite method: chutzpah." - Gran'pa Chet
"This is a beautiful, straightforward blackjack presentation and perfect for those who like doing this type of routine. A deck is shuffled and dealt out just like that with just a tiny bit of very logical time disconnect business. Not only that but the deck can be handled completely by the participants...Without question, this ebook is recommended." - Jheff,
Marketplace of the Mind
"If you read an effect description of 'Blackjack Room' it is simply an impossible feat. You will say: "Can't be! Where is the deception in the description?" There is none. The effect is as it reads, seemingly impossible. It uses a devious method that was completely new
to me. It is a masterful invention with many uses." - Chris Wasshuber, Lybrary.com

Hiring teachers is tricky business. More specifically, though, hiring is a solitary business. We may include the staff, the PTA or the board in the selection process, but whether they are included or not, the administrator will stand alone if that new hire doesn't work out.
But making the right hiring decision has implications that transcend an administrator's reputation and legacy. John Black and Fenwick English are right to suggest that "people are ultimately institutions. Institutions are no better than their collective brains, energy, and humanity guided by a mission." If we are to reform our schools, close racial gaps, increase academic performance and build effective curriculum, we must hire the right "brains, energy, and humanity" to help us do it.
While we recognize that hiring teachers is a long and complicated process that requires more than asking "the right" set of interview questions, we'd like to share 20 useful interview questions from Kenneth Peterson's book, Effective Teacher Hiring: A guide to Getting the Best.
Hiring Teachers: 20 essential interview questions for principals
If you're looking for more tips to help you navigate the hiring process, we recommend checking out not only Kenneth Peterson's book, Effective Teacher Hiring: A guide to Getting the Best, but also John Black's and Fenwick English's book, What They Don't Tell You in Schools of Education about School Administration.

I used them two weeks later. That was the longest -- I do not see any reason that many months would be a problem.
They had been coated, air-dried for two hours, put in a box for about 8 hours, then froze.
If one wanted to coat a bunch for later use they could be frozen right after the initial drying -- instead of what happens if one runs out of time at the end of a printing session and risks some dark reactions to take place.

Oh, Sofia Vergara, how I love you. Wearing a dress like that, it must be hard NOT to have people fall in immediate love with you. The woman's 41 years old and still has the body of an old fashioned Coke bottle. It's freaking ridiculous. Seriously, though, the curves that she's rocking would make me leave my girlfriend in an instant and I mean that (now all I need is a girlfriend to prove my point.) Anyhoo, here she is strutting her stuff on the set of her new film CHEF, which will be out later next year. If the movie is silent and just follows Sofia around wearing that dress, I'm all in. Best 10 bucks I'll ever spend. Hopefully they don't bog this possible masterpiece down with dialogue, story structure, plot and character development. That would really suck.

Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
Flat iron, nine iron, a fireplace, dark chocolate, red wine and my son.

How to make the world a better place in my own little corner of it.

Enjoying time with friends.

I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I have been lucky in love, no so in marriage.
