Graham Reid goes back into a classic garage band compilation now remastered.
In a year that tripped over itself with anniversaries (the Stones' half-century, 45 years since the Velvets' debut and 35 for the Sex Pistols' Bollocks), most of the inevitable reissues played the nostalgia card. But one stands out as different.
Forty years ago, Lenny Kaye - later guitarist in Patti Smith's band - compiled the double-vinyl album Nuggets; Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968.
In a garishly colourful cover (which bore little relationship to the urgent sounds within), Kaye collected 27 songs by American garage bands and anthologised a history so recent that some of the group's members still hadn't reached their late 20s.
These nagging, raw songs (only three breaking the three-minute mark) were called "punk rock" at the time, but that peculiarly American term came to mean something else just five years later when the Sex Pistols gatecrashed the party. What Kaye collated was the American response to British rhythm and blues of the 60s, suburban bands inspired by the Stones, Animals, Pretty Things and others beyond the mainstream pop of the Beatles, Dave Clark Five and Herman's Hermits. The bad boys, in other words.
Kaye unearthed a rich vein of music largely ignored by American and British radio but in this far-flung corner you could not only hear them (thanks to Radio Hauraki) but actually buy the singles and albums.
This ragged, mid-60s rock bristles with generational frustration and the white-heat of adolescent sexuality. ("Hey girl, I'm going to make you ... mine" is a common threat.) There's also the genuine belief that, like all those English bands, they could be the Next Big Thing. Some almost were, but most had a career as a long as their singles.
Nuggets underwent a number of expansions (the four-CD box set worth tracking down, Volume II included Kiwi bands the Blue Stars, Smoke and La De Das), but the original Nuggets, now remastered and reissued, is the cornerstone.
Here are great songs like Electric Prunes' I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night and the Blues Magoos' version of Tobacco Road (seriously psychedelic in the middle), Dirty Water by the Standells, the soon-to-be-casualty Roky Erickson in Thirteen Floor Elevators, singing his lungs out on You're Gonna Miss Me, the Knickerbockers' Lies, the Seeds' Pushin' Too Hard, Count Five's classic Psychotic Reaction...
Unpretentious pop-rock, rough round the edges, heavy on fuzzbox and great shout-aloud choruses.
In his new liner notes Kaye says, "It's the songs, in the end, that make Nuggets so memorable, the lightning strikes of brilliance that move a record past genre into the realm of classic."
These were singles by hormonal white boys (yep, all boys) discovering sex 'n' drugs and rock 'n' roll. They are songs of desperation and hope by those who saw their path out of suburbia - and the way to meet girls - was not by going to college, but in four chords. That's a universal truth, not nostalgia. No wonder this stuff still makes sense.
Stars: 4.5/5
Verdict: Rough 'n' rugged guitar rock that is timeless and economic

DIY Egg Carton Dollhouse Furniture
For some reason, I have a special place in my heart for things that are miniature. If it's tiny, I'm in, which is why I love dollhouses and their furniture, even though my kids aren't really on board. When I saw this creative dollhouse furniture made from egg cartons, my heart gave a little "Squee!" It's small and adorable and perfectly eco-friendly.
Amanda from My Cup Overflows made this furniture for her daughter's 10th birthday. The party was Kit Kittredge-themed (for those not in the know, she's an American Girl doll), and since Kit's backstory is that she grew up in the depression, Amanda wanted to make everything at the party accurate for that time period. Since egg cartons were invented in 1917, she knew she was good to go, and upcycling something into a toy was just the thing that Kit might have needed to do herself.
The furniture is so clever; I love in particular the chair that looks like a kind of mid-century modern pod chair (photo #2). There are toilets, bathtubs, couches, beds, lamps, a kitchen sink and stove, and a desk, among other accessories. Amanda went above and beyond by making 10 sets of furniture for the guests at the party.
You can make your own sets by looking at all the photos on Amanda's site. With a little paint, your kids can customize their very own house full of furniture.

Planet of the Apes
"Planet of the Apes" Remarkably fun, entertaining sci-fi adventure based on the Pierre Boulle novel about three astronauts who crash land on a planet where apes rule and humans are treated like animals. Charlton Heston gives one of his best performances -- and did his first nude scene -- as Taylor, the fiesty astronaut who famously tells his captors, "Take your stinking paws off of me, you damn dirty apes." John Chambers created the state-of-the-art makeup for the actors who played the apes, including Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter and Maurice Evans. Jerry Goldsmith penned the evocative score, and Franklin Schaffner provided the near flawless direction. And, of course, the final scene is one of the most memorable put on screen. "Apes" spawned four sequels, a live-action TV series, an animated series and the dreadful 2001 remake by Tim Burton.

Bolonyai, Ishimatsu Selected To Capital One Academic All-America Second Team
June 5, 2014
Senior water polo player Flora Bolonyai and junior diver Haley Ishimatsu were named to CoSIDA's Capital One Academic All-America At-Large second team on Thursday (June 5).
Bolonyai was a Capital One Academic All-American first teamer last year while this is Ishimatsu's first honor. Bolonyai and Ishimatsu joined junior diver Jordan Gear and junior tennis player Zoe Scandalis on the All-District 8 team announced in May.
The at-large team for the Capital One Academic All-America program includes the sports of fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo for both men and women; and bowling, rowing and field hockey for women; and volleyball and wrestling for men. A combined 80 women and 80 men earn All-District honors (10 per district) while 15 women and men make up each of the All-America first, second and third teams.
Bolonyai was USC water polo's first CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-American first teamer last season, and the 2012 Olympian and 2013 NCAA champion improved on her GPA as a senior with a 3.50 GPA as an economics and mathematics major. Bolonyai is a three-time MPSF Scholar-Athlete and an AWPCA All-Academic nominee. The Hungarian native also now stands as USC's all-time saves leader, having taken over that mark this season in leading the Women of Troy to another NCAA Tournament appearance. A three-time All-American, she is lined up to finish as a four-time winner to go along with her 2014 NCAA All-Tournament second team honors. She was the 2013 NCAA Tournament MVP as a junior after the Trojans won the 2013 national championship.
Ishimatsu, a 2008 Olympian, became the first woman to repeat as an NCAA platform champion since 1992-93 when she won the event at the 2014 NCAA Championships. She also earned her first All-American honors on 1-meter with a sixth-place finish and scored for the first time on 3-meter with a 13th-place finish. That followed springboard wins at the 2014 NCAA Zone E Championships and titles on 3-meter and platform at the 2014 Pac-12 Championships. Her platform title was her second straight conference crown on the board and she set a Pac-12 record in the process. Ishimatsu was named the 2014 Pac-12 Women's Diver of the Meet in addition to receiving February Women's Diver of the Month honors. She was a 2014 Pac-12 All-Academic first team pick with a 3.61 GPA in sociology.
USC has had two Capital One Academic All-America first team selections this year with senior baseball third baseman Kevin Swick and senior women's volleyball libero Natalie Hagglund. USC now has 33 first-team selections since the program's inception in 1952.

Egypt's referendum overseer resigns
Official says health problems led to decision; second round of voting scheduled for Saturday
CAIRO (AP) — One of the top officials in charge of overseeing Egypt's vote on a contentious Islamist-backed draft constitution resigned Wednesday citing health problems, a judicial official said. The move follows boycotts of the referendum by judges and others that have left the voting process with a severe shortage of monitors to oversee it.
Secretary General of the Election Committee Zaghloul el-Balshi attributed his resignation to "a sudden health crisis," according to a copy of a letter he sent to the committee that was published by several Egyptian dailies including the privately owned el-Watan.
The official confirmed the authenticity of the letter. Relatives told local Egyptian media that el-Balshi has undergone eye surgery.
"The effort I put in over the past period has caused a sudden health crisis," the letter of resignation read. "As you know, it is impossible to carry out my mission with this health condition," it added.
The judicial official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press.
Many of the country's judges had boycotted overseeing the referendum. The resulting shortage of supervisors has added to doubts about the vote, the first round of which was held on Dec. 15 and the second round of which is scheduled for Saturday.
El-Balshi had himself threatened to boycott following deadly clashes between liberal and Islamist demonstrators earlier this month, one of several incidents that have increased the sense of crisis in Egypt since President Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood last month issued a decree giving himself wide-ranging powers.
Morsi rescinded the decree, but his move set the scene for further polarization when an Islamist-dominated constitutional drafting panel rushed through the draft of a constitution opposed by liberal parties, secularists, Christians, and many Muslims skeptical of the Brotherhood.
The constitution received 56 percent of the vote in the first round of the referendum. The Brotherhood says the opposition needs to respect the voter majority. His critics say the process has been rushed, the vote was rife with irregularities, turnout was a comparatively low 32 percent, and that a constitution needs consensus, not just a simple majority, to have legitimacy.

His Speech Nominating Sherman for President
James Abram Garfield
Born in 1831, died in 1881; President of Hiram College (Ohio), 185961; promoted to be Brigadier-General of Volunteers in the Civil War, 1862; Major-General in 1863; elected to Congress from Ohio in 1863, serving until 1880; Member of the Electoral Commission of 1877; elected United States Senator from Ohio in 1880; elected President in 1880; shot by an assassin on July 2, 1881, and died September 19.
witnessed the extraordinary scenes of this Convention with deep solicitude. Nothing touches my heart more quickly than a tribute of honor to a great and noble character; but as I sat in my seat and witnessed this demonstration, this assemblage seemed to me a human ocean in tempest. I have seen the sea lashed into fury and tossed into spray, and its grandeur moves the soul of the dullest man; but I remember that it is not the billows, but the calm level of the sea, from which all heights and depths are measured. When the storm has passed and the hour of calm settles on the ocean, when the sunlight bathes its peaceful surface, then the astronomer and surveyor take the level from which they measure all terrestrial heights and depths.
Gentlemen of the Convention, your present temper may not mark the healthful pulse of our people. When your enthusiasm has passed, when the emotions of this hour have subsided, we shall find below the storm and passion that calm level of public opinion from which the thoughts of a mighty people are to be measured, and by which final action will be determined.
Not here, in this brilliant circle, where fifteen thousand men and women are gathered, is the destiny of the Republic to be decreed for the next four years. Not here, where I see the enthusiastic faces of seven hundred and fifty-six delegates, waiting to cast their lots into the urn and determine the choice of the Republic, but by four millions of Republican firesides, where the thoughtful voters, with wives and children about them, with the calm thoughts inspired by love of home and country, with the history of the past, the hopes of the future, and reverence for the great men who have adorned and blessed our nation in days gone by, burning in their hearts,there God prepares the verdict which will determine the wisdom of our work to-night. Not in Chicago, in the heat of June, but at the ballot-boxes of the Republic, in the quiet of November, after the silence of deliberate judgment, will this question be settled. And now, gentlemen of the Convention, what do we want?
Bear with me a moment. Hear me for my cause, and for a moment be silent that you may hear.
Twenty-five years ago this Republic was bearing and wearing a triple chain of bondage. Long familiarity with traffic in the bodies and souls of men had paralyzed the consciences of a majority of our people; the narrowing and disintegrating doctrine of State sovereignty had shackled and weakened the noblest and most beneficent powers of the national government; and the grasping power of slavery was seizing upon the virgin territories of the West, and dragging them into the den of eternal bondage.
At that crisis the Republican party was born. It drew its first inspiration from that fire of liberty which God has lighted in every human heart, and which all the powers of ignorance and tyranny can never wholly extinguish. The Republican party came to deliver and to save. It entered the arena where the beleaguered and assailed Territories were struggling for freedom, and drew around them the sacred circle of liberty, which the demon of slavery has never dared to cross. It made them free for ever. Strengthened by its victory on the frontier, the young party, under the leadership of that great man who on this spot,
twenty years ago, was made its chief, entered the national Capitol, and assumed the high duties of government. The light which shone from its banner illumined its pathway to power. Every slave-pen and the shackles of every slave within the shadow of the Capitol were consumed in the rekindled fire of freedom.
Our great national industries by cruel and calculating neglect had been prostrated, and the streams of revenue flowed in such feeble currents that the treasury itself was well-nigh empty. The money of the people consisted mainly of the wretched notes of two thousand uncontrolled and irresponsible State banking corporations, which were filling the country with a circulation that poisoned, rather than sustained, the life of business.
The Republican party changed all this. It abolished the Babel of confusion, and gave to the country a currency as national as its flag, based upon the sacred faith of the people. It threw its protecting arm around our great industries, and they stood erect with new life. It filled with the spirit of true nationality all the great functions of the government. It confronted a rebellion of unexampled magnitude, with slavery behind it, and, under God, fought the final battle of liberty until the victory was won.
Then, after the storms of battle, were heard the calm words of peace spoken by the conquering nation, saying to the foe that lay prostrate at its feet: This is our only revengethat you join us in lifting into the serene firmament of the Constitution, to shine like stars for ever and ever, the immortal principles of truth and justice: that all men, white or black, shall be free, and shall stand equal before the law.
Then came the questions of reconstruction, the national debt, and the keeping of the public faith. In the settlement of these questions, the Republican party has completed its twenty-five years of glorious existence and it has sent us here to prepare it for another lustrum of duty and of victory. How shall we accomplish this great work? We can not do it, my friends, by assailing our Republican brethren. God forbid that I should say one word, or cast one shadow, upon any name on the roll of our heroes. The coming fight is our Thermopylæ. We are standing upon a narrow isthmus. If our Spartan hosts are united, we can withstand all the Persians that the Xerxes of Democracy can bring against us. Let us hold our ground this one year, and then the stars in their courses will fight for us. The census will bring reinforcements and continued power.
But in order to win victory now, we want the vote of every Republicanof every Grant Republican, and every anti-Grant Republican, in Americaof every Blaine man and every anti-Blaine man. The vote of every follower of every candidate is needed to make success certain. Therefore I say, gentlemen and brethren, we are here to take calm counsel together, and inquire what we shall do.
We want a man whose life and opinions embody all the achievements of which I have spoken. We want a man who, standing on a mountain height, traces the victorious footsteps of our party in the past, and, carrying in his heart the memory of its glorious deeds, looks forward prepared to meet the dangers to come. We want one who will act in no spirit of unkindness toward those we lately met in battle. The Republican party offers to our brethren of the South the olive-branch of peace, and invites them to renewed brotherhood on this supreme conditionthat it shall be admitted for ever, that in the war for the Union we were right and they were wrong. On that supreme condition we meet them as brethren, and ask them to share with us the blessings and honors of this great Republic.
Now, gentlemen, not to weary you, I am about to present a name for your consideration,the name of one who was the comrade, associate, and friend of nearly all the noble dead, whose faces look down upon us from these walls to-night;
a man who began his career of public service twenty-five years ago,who courageously confronted the slave power in the days of peril on the plains of Kansas, when first began to fall the red drops of that bloody shower which finally swelled into the deluge of gore in the late Rebellion. He bravely stood by young Kansas, and, returning to his seat in the national Legislature, his pathway through all the subsequent years has been marked by labors worthily performed in every department of legislation.
You ask for his monument. I point you to twenty-five years of national statutes. Not one great, beneficent law has been placed on our statute-books without his intelligent and powerful aid. He aided in formulating the laws to raise the great armies and navies which carried us through the war. His hand was seen in the workmanship of those statutes that restored and brought back the unity and married calm of States. His hand was in all that great legislation that created the war currency, and in all the still greater work that redeemed the promises of the government and made the currency equal to gold.
When at last he passed from the halls of legislation into a high executive office, he displayed that experience, intelligence, firmness, and poise of character, which have carried us through a stormy period of three years, with one-half the public Press crying Crucify him! and a hostile Congress seeking to prevent success. In all this he remained unmoved until victory crowned him. The great fiscal affairs of the nation, and the vast business interests of the country, he guarded and preserved while executing the law of resumption, and effected its object without a jar and against the false prophecies of one-half of the Press and of all the Democratic party.
He has shown himself able to meet with calmness the great emergencies of the government. For twenty-five years he has trodden the perilous heights of public duty, and against all the shafts of malice has borne his breast unharmed. He has stood in the blaze of that fierce light that beats against the throne; but its fiercest ray has found no flaw in his armor, no stain upon his shield. I do not present him as a better Republican or a better man than thousands of others that we honor; but I present him for your deliberate and favorable consideration. I nominate John Sherman, of Ohio.
Note 1.
Delivered in the Republican National Convention at Chicago, June 5, 1880, immediately after the speech of Roscoe Conkling, nominating General Grant for a third term. See Hinsdales The Works of James A. Garfield, 2 volumes, Boston, 1882. This speech made a deep impression, and has since been generally cited as the immediate cause of Garfields own nomination a few days later. The correspondent of the New York
writing on the day following the delivery of the speech, said:
Curious remarks were made about it. Those who were utterly unable to recognize the secretary of the treasury in the ideal man whose portrait Garfield drew, begin to think that the picture was Garfields picture of himself. Suggestions to this effect have been frequently made to-day by men who are in no way hostile to Garfield, and who see in the course he has pursued during the Convention indications of an honest desire to advance his own fortunes.
Note 2.
At this point a voice called out: We want Garfield. [
Note 3.
Lincoln was nominated for president in Chicago. [
Note 4.
A reference to the portraits of Lincoln, Sumner, Wade, Chandler and others, which were hanging in the Convention hall. [

Saturday, November 16
A former district administrator will lead the search for a new superintendent for Hood River County schools.
Jer Pratton, working for Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA), will meet with the school board at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday to start the search for Jerry Sessions' successor. The meeting, at the district office, is open to the public.
The school board, meeting in Cascade Locks Wednesday, voted unanimously to hire OSBA to conduct the search. The contract will cost the district $6,200, and the district also faces travel and other expenses in finding a new superintendent. The board hopes to hire a new superintendent by March 2003, to start work in July. Sessions, in his second year with the district, resigned in September, effective June 2003. Sessions was present, but did not speak, during the half-hour board discussion on how to proceed in the search process.
Members of the board leaned distinctly in favor of hiring OSBA and Pratton, who served as an assistant superintendent for Hood River schools in the 1980s and 1990s.
"Jer Pratton knows this district," said board chairwoman Jan Veldhuisen Virk.
The other applicant, George Murdoch of Northwest Leadership Associates of Pendleton, would have charged $9,000 for the task. Board members said both firms were well-qualified for the job, but OSBA had the edge because of the district's long-standing membership in the organization, Pratton's familiarity with the district and the fact that Hood River County would be the only search he would be working on.
Board member Patricia Schmuck proposed, for discussion, that the district initially focus on an in-district search and that the board consider conducting the search itself, but her fellow board members noted that it agreed by consensus at an October board meeting to find someone to do the search. Other districts have self-searched but they had a staff member available to coordinate it; that is not the case in Hood River, board members said.
"We owe it to the district to hire the best possible person for the job," Veldhuisen Virk said.
Board member Dan Bubb said, "Going on as broad a scope as possible is the wisest decision because it doesn't preclude us from hiring from within at all. The best applicant may be here. Discovering it that way may be a good thing."
Board member Susan McCarthy said that if an internal candidate was hired after a broader search, "it would give them a lot of confidence that we looked at the best that was out there."
McCarthy said she wants the district to expedite the advertising, screening, interviewing and selection process, in part because she wants to be sure it is wrapped up well ahead of the end of the school year. McCarthy announced Wednesday she does not intend to run for re-election after her term expires in June.
"Eighteen years is long enough," McCarthy said.

The Gateway to Queensland's Tropical North
Cairns is the gateway to many of northern Australia's natural attractions. Suit up and head offshore to explore the incredible world beneath the waves at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Great Barrier Reef. Filled with incredible beaches, coral reefs, and turquoise blue waters, you can swim, snorkel, dive, and enjoy a living masterpiece that is so big it can be seen from outer space.
Head inland to another UNESCO World Heritage Site, Daintree Rainforest, the planet's oldest surviving tropical rainforest. Or the tranquil village of Kuranda—which is home to colorful parrots, butterflies, platypus, and fresh water crocodiles—just a short, scenic railway journey from Cairns. If you're looking to get higher, head to the cool, yet still tropical Atherton Tablelands, a mountain retreat with rolling plateaus averaging 700 meters above sea level.
But even though Cairns is so close to so many fantastic attractions, don't be so quick to be on your way once you arrive. The city's relaxed ambience, and year-round tropical climate means it's a destination in its own right.

Get Into the Groove: A Pink Madonna Mural
This is part two of my retro 80s project in the apartment upstairs from my own. Why don't you paint an icon on the wall of your studio?
Whereas my neighbor wanted a portrait of Madonna in her studio, my inspiration for this really came from Demi Moore's pad in St. Elmo's Fire, which I've written about elsewhere, and which I've wanted to recreate for some time.
In keeping with our ultra-feminine 80s theme we started out with a base coat of pink paint. You can see from my small thumbnails and sample boards that our first choice was too pink, and we settled on Pink Dynasty. If you think you detect a note of brown in this color, it's because this is the lightest tint of something called Dark Walnut. And instead of a painting in purple, we settled on Vintage Wine, which also gave me all those marvelous 80s era thistle grays as a mid-tone. Also, I made printouts and a grid over my first photo to help me find the scale — the room was so tight I had to make sure her eyes weren't crossed.
And I must say, all this got me thinking about this: why an icon? Because it's fun, for starters. But when we paint Elvis or Marilyn, Grace Jones or Mother Mary on the wall, we're not literally representing them as much as we're trying to draw a dotted line around a part of how they make us feel. In this instance, I think, Madonna equals a generation's ultimate freedom to put on a wedding dress and writhe around in front of the orchestra pit and make great music videos and, well — get into the groove. Madonna's the bad girl with a big heart that really isn't that bad either, she's more like your big kooky sister.
As luck would have it, this standing floor lamp comes in exactly at the right level to suggest a drop earring. Just like Billy Idol.

How much do we shop? And what is it doing to us?
Award-winning photographer Brian Ulrich explores these questions in Copia, a project that is 10 years in the making. From 2001 to 2011, Ulrich traveled the world and captured images of contemporary consumer culture.
The images are striking—familiar but also strange. The vast, colorful landscape of mega-stores. The overwhelming piles of stuff. The faces of shoppers who are completely surrounded and immersed. The loneliness of an abandoned mall that was once a shrine for frenzied consumerism.
Ulrich describes his inspiration for the project in a recent interview with TIME magazine: "[It] began as a simple curiosity: Were people out shopping in the months after Sept. 11th to follow a patriotic directive? It quickly dawned on me that the subject I began to explore was something a lot bigger; one historical, anthropological, ideological and indicative of American identity and psychology."
Copia, which means "plenty" in Latin, consists of three parts: "Retail," "Thrift," and "Dark Stores." The series is on exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art from August 2011 to January 2012.
To see more of the Copia series and Ulrich's other projects, visit his website: notifbutwhen.com. In addition, a new book of Ulrich's work has been released, entitled Is This Place Great or What.

Bulls hope to improve playoff positioning with Orlando in town
The chances of making the Central Division race interesting are slim for the playoff-bound Chicago Bulls, but they can still improve their status in the East.
The Bulls hope to do that Friday night in a matchup with the Orlando Magic at the United Center.
Chicago is 6 1/2 games behind the Indiana Pacers for the Central lead with eight to play and sits even with Atlanta for the fifth spot in the conference standings. The Bulls and Hawks are 1 1/2 games behind Brooklyn.
In a 92-90 victory over the Nets on Thursday, Nate Robinson scored the go- ahead basket with 22.7 seconds remaining and finished with 12 points off the bench. Carlos Boozer had 29 points and 18 rebounds for the Bulls, who got 16 points and 10 boards from Jimmy Butler. Luol Deng scored 18 in the win.
"We got the plays we needed to get to win the game," Boozer said.
The Bulls are still without guards Marco Belinelli (abdomen) and Derrick Rose (knee) and center Joakim Noah (foot). It is unknown when any of the contributors will return on a healthy slate. Belinelli and Noah are on a day- to-day basis, while Rose, a former MVP, is out indefinitely.
Chicago has won three in a row at home and is 21-16 at the United Center.
Meanwhile, the struggling Magic are playing out the string and will resume a five-game road trip Friday night.
Orlando is winless (0-3) so far on the trip and dropped a 98-84 decision to the San Antonio Spurs the last time out on Wednesday. Mo Harkless had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Magic, who have lost 11 of 12 games and are riding a nine-game road losing streak.
"They have a system that works for them," Orlando guard Beno Udrih said of the Spurs. "They have been using it forever and the organization's scouts are really good for the system that they have. In the end we just lost a little bit of focus in the fourth quarter, so that's how we lost the game."
The Magic were missing Arron Afflalo (strained right hamstring), Jameer Nelson (sprained right ankle) and Hedo Turkoglu (personal reasons). Nelson is doubtful against the Bulls and Turkoglu is expected to miss Friday's game.
Afflalo could miss the remainder of the 2012-13 campaign.
Orlando is 8-30 on the road and will also visit Cleveland on the trip. The Magic have lost the first two meetings with the Bulls this season and will host them on April 15.
Chicago has won three in a row, seven of eight and nine of the past 14 matchups with Orlando.

Mullinville city officials, in an attempt to reclaim long abandoned city roads, has sparked concern with one of its most outspoken residents.
Mullinville city officials, in an attempt to reclaim long abandoned city roads, has sparked concern with one of its most outspoken residents.
Over the weekend Mullinville resident artist M.T. Liggett parked a large number of trailers adorned with metal "stop" and "private property" signs on the west side of Elm street, north of Hwy. 54. which, due to a long established abandonment by the city, is half owned by Liggett.
"We're dealing with it, but I'm going to have to go with a 'no comment' for now until we can talk with our attorney," said Mullinville Mayor Andy Kimble on Sunday.
The city has been preparing to reopen streets that the city had abandoned some time ago.
City Council minutes from Jan. 16 mention a request from Zimmerman Title and Abstract owner Brad Zimmerman to "clarify information on the vacated streets/roads map he had prepared for council" indicating that the city has been working on the project for more than three months.
Liggett produced a letter written by Mullinville City Attorney Janice J. Jorns to Mullinville City Clerk Susan Clayton. The letter, which discussed the reopening of city roads among other things, seems to be a response to an inquiry made by city officials.
In the letter dated Feb. 14, Jorns mentions Kansas Statute K.S.A 15-427, which governs the improvement, vacating and reversion of streets and alleyways for Kansas cities in the third class, which Mullinville is classified.
The statute states:
"The council shall have power to open, widen, extend or otherwise improve any street, avenue, alley, or lane; to create, open and improve any new street, avenue, alley, or lane; and also to annul, vacate or discontinue the same, whenever deemed necessary or expedient: Provided, That all damages sustained by the citizens of the city, or the owners of the property therein, shall be ascertained in the manner provided by law: And provided further, That whenever any street, avenue, alley, or lane shall be vacated, the same shall revert to the owners of real estate thereto adjacent on each side, in proportion to the frontage of such real estate, except in cases where such street, avenue, alley or lane shall have been taken and appropriated to public use in a different proportion, in which case it shall revert to adjacent lots of real estate in proportion as it was taken from them."
Jorns in her letter notes that the statute does not grant cities in the third class the authority to reopen city streets, an authority that is granted to cities in the second and first class.
"Therefore, if the city finds in necessary to unvacate a street or alleyway, they[sic] city must acquire the land either by purchasing the land…or through a condemnation proceeding," continued the letter. "… if the adjoining landowners wanted the street or alleyway reopened, they could gift the property back to the city..."
The city has not said whether it has attempted to purchase any of the land, requested that the land be gifted back to the city or begun condemnation proceedings on any of the land.
Liggett professed to be unaware of what the city was planning to do with the street, of which half is lawfully his private property.
He was asked if any member of city council, mayor Kimble or a city employee had spoken to him about the cities plans for the road,
"The city has not discussed this with me at all," said Liggett. "The only thing I know is what I saw in the [city council] minutes in the Merchant's Directory [newspaper]. The next thing I know I get a copy of [the letter from city attorney Janice Jorns]. I have no recourse but to protect myself. I had to do something especially when someone starts that kind of action."
The road, which runs the entire length of the northern half of the city, has been a well-traveled dirt road connecting Hwy 54 and North St. The street is passable and seemed to be reasonably maintained. It is not apparent whether the city has maintained the road, even though it is no longer city property.
The road brings highway traffic to Hillcrest Cemetery and runs alongside Liggett's workshop and pastures.
Liggett did not say how long the trailers would be on the road and city officials have not commented about how the city was going to proceed.
Mayor Kimble did say that the city council would address the issue during their March 19 meeting.
Liggett, who has adorned roadsides in Mullinville with his kinetic and often controversial metal-work totems has been a boisterous outspoken county resident for years sometimes butting heads with city officials in Mullinville and Greensburg, typically relating to his artwork.
"I'm not doing this to create problems, they will say I'm doing it to create problems but that is horse [expletive]," added Liggett. "They never came and talked to me or anything. I don't know what the [expletive] they are trying to do."
Requests have been made to city officials for documents relating to this issue.

Complete list of CSULB Faculty and Emeriti Faculty
The faculty of California State University, Long Beach is highly educated and dedicated to the success of the students. They create an intellectual atmosphere that encourages students to develop a spirit of investigation which becomes a life-long approach to issues and problems.
The role of the university professor is somewhat different from that of the high school teacher. University faculty are involved in the creation of knowledge as well as the dissemination of it. Our expectation is that students will not only use the 145 instructional days per year to the best possible advantage, but also to reflect on the learning process and to think about how the professor came to understand and organize the knowledge presented, and thus take full advantage of the University's resources and take responsibility for their own education.
The explicit policies of the University, developed by the faculty, on grades and grading, on class attendance, withdrawal from courses, and cheating and plagiarism are located elsewhere in this Catalog. These and other policies reflect the concerns of the faculty that students take seriously the opportunities made available to them. Beyond these rules and regulations the faculty expect student participation in their education that may be different from or more active than what students have been used to in secondary schools.
In addition, the California State University (CSU) is committed to upholding and preserving the principles of academic freedom: the right of faculty to teach, conduct research or other scholarship, and publish free of external constraints other than those normally denoted by the scholarly standards of a discipline.
Professors, guided by a deep conviction of the worth and dignity of the advancement of knowledge, recognize the special responsibilities placed upon them. Their primary responsibility to their subject is to seek and to state the truth as they see it. To this end professors devote their energies to developing and improving their scholarly competence. They accept the obligations to exercise critical self-discipline and judgment in using, extending, and transmitting knowledge. They practice intellectual honesty. Although professors may follow subsidiary interests, these interests must never seriously hamper or compromise their freedom of inquiry.
As teachers, professors encourage the free pursuit of learning in their students. They hold before them the best scholarly and ethical standards of their discipline. Professors demonstrate respect for students as individuals and adhere to their proper roles as intellectual guides and counselors. Professors make every reasonable effort to foster honest academic conduct and to ensure that their evaluations of students reflect each student's true merit. They respect the confidential nature of the relationship between professor and student. They avoid any exploitation, harassment, or discriminatory treatment of students. They acknowledge significant academic or scholarly assistance from them. They protect their academic freedom.
Faculty earn academic rank as they develop their course materials, research and creative activities, academic and community service, and publications. The highest faculty rank is "Professor," sometimes called "full Professor." The intermediate rank is "Associate Professor." Most faculty begin their careers as "Assistant Professors."

2012 Scion iQ: New Car Review - Video
Jonny Loquasto: Scion has entered the growing ranks of small cars that are big on features with the all-new 2012 Scion iQ, a subcompact that delivers more than meets the eye.
Shauntay Hinton: Now, at first glance, you might compare it to the Smart Fortwo, but the Scion iQ can do a lot more, has more room and is just more usable in the real world.
Jonny: The iQ more closely competes with the FIAT 500, Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio, all which come in at similar price points.
Shauntay: The iQ's styling doesn't go with the retro theme like the 500. It's more futuristic -what Scion styling has always been about.
Jonny: Inside, the iQ's offset seating layout makes the most of its limited space. Now the front passenger sits a little ahead of the driver, so there's a usable rear seat on the passenger's side.
Shauntay: Now, technically, the iQ is listed as a four-passenger car, but the back seat behind the driver really can't be used for anything except storage, or maybe a small child.
Jonny: But for two or three occupants, the iQ is a reasonable ride, and it has plenty of technology that today's drivers are looking for. For instance, the Pioneer audio system has USB ports so you can connect a smartphone or a portable audio device.
Shauntay: And if you opt for the navigation package, it also comes with iTunes tagging and Pandora Internet radio, so you can play your favorite online streaming music.
Jonny: Up under that tiny hood is a 94-horsepower 4-cylinder, sending power to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission.
Shauntay: It provides decent power to get around town, but don't expect to blow by any cars on the highway.
Jonny: On the other hand, the iQ's wheels are pushed way out to the corners, so navigating the curves on a windy road is sure-footed and fun!
Shauntay: The iQ is in the middle of the pack when it comes to fuel economy, getting 36 miles per gallon city, and 37 on the highway.
Jonny: Now if you want to do even better, check out the Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent. They both get a solid 40 miles per gallon highway. But let's talk price.
Shauntay: Right. In its lone trim, the iQ starts at a little over $15,000. Add all the options, and you'll barely break $20,000.
Jonny: Along with good value for the dollar, the one thing you can be fairly certain of with the 2012 Scion iQ is that it delivers the same impressive reliability that its parent company, Toyota, is known for.
Shauntay: All wrapped up in futuristic styling that makes it a worthy competitor to the growing number of attractive urban runabouts.

Carnivorous aquatic Utricularia species catch small prey animals using millimetre-sized underwater suction traps, which have fascinated scientists since Darwin's early work on carnivorous plants. Suction takes place after mechanical triggering and is owing to a release of stored elastic energy in the trap body accompanied by a very fast opening and closing of a trapdoor, which otherwise closes the trap entrance watertight. The exceptional trapping speed—far above human visual perception—impeded profound investigations until now. Using high-speed video imaging and special microscopy techniques, we obtained fully time-resolved recordings of the door movement. We found that this unique trapping mechanism conducts suction in less than a millisecond and therefore ranks among the fastest plant movements known. Fluid acceleration reaches very high values, leaving little chance for prey animals to escape. We discovered that the door deformation is morphologically predetermined, and actually performs a buckling/unbuckling process, including a complete trapdoor curvature inversion. This process, which we predict using dynamical simulations and simple theoretical models, is highly reproducible: the traps are autonomously repetitive as they fire spontaneously after 5–20 h and reset actively to their ready-to-catch condition.
1. Introduction
Bladderworts (Utricularia spp., Lentibulariaceae) are carnivorous as an adaptation to nutrient-poor habitats [1–4]. The genus comprises more than 220 species with an almost worldwide distribution and exhibits different life forms [4,5]. As probably the most extreme embodiment of the carnivorous syndrome [3], all species are completely rootless, and at least all aquatic species feature a suction trap mechanism that relies on a release of stored elastic energy in the trap body. Entailing a cascade of fast motions [6–15], the whole trapping action is too fast to be followed with the naked eye. Yet there are no detailed camera recordings available, and the exact motion pattern has been unclear until now. In order to understand how the trapdoor opens, and to elucidate the dynamics of the motion sequences involved, we studied traps of three aquatic species: Utricularia australis R.Br., U. inflata Walter and U. vulgaris L. All species belong to the infrageneric section Utricularia [5,16], which shows, as far as known, a homogeneous trap architecture [17] with (as to its functional morphology) a nearly identical trapping mechanism. Trap diameters range from 0.5 to 3 mm [5,17].
The lenticular Utricularia trap (figure 1a and electronic supplementary material, S1) works with a two-phase mechanism [2,3]. During the first slow phase, which lasts about 1 h, internal glands actively pump water out of the trap interior, so that elastic energy is stored in the trap body owing to a lower internal hydrostatic pressure. In this set condition, when ready for catch, the trap shows concave wall curvatures (figure 1b). A flexible door with protruding trigger hairs closes the entrance watertight. Prey animals can stimulate these hairs and thereby launch the second, ultra-fast phase, which runs passively because of a mechanical conversion of elastic energy into kinetic energy. The triggering results in door opening, trap wall relaxation and water (and thereby prey) influx due to the sudden increase of the trap volume (figure 1c). After the door is closed, the prey is dissolved by digestive enzymes secreted by quadrifid glands, and nutrients are absorbed by the plant. Both phases together form a repeatable 'active slow deflation–passive fast suction' sequence (figure 1b and electronic supplementary material, movies S1 and S2).
2. Material and methods
(a) Experiments
We investigated traps (2–3 mm in diameter) of the species U. inflata, U. vulgaris and U. australis. The motion was studied with a high-performance light microscope (Olympus IX70) and stereo microscopes (Zeiss DV8, Olympus SZX9; up to 85.5× magnification). Trapping actions were recorded with up to 15 000 frames s−1 (high-speed cameras Vision Research Phantom Miro 4 and Olympus i-Speed 3). Particles used to track the flow were hollow glass spheres with a diameter in the range of 2–20 µm and a density of 1.1 g cm−3 (Polysciences, Inc.). Laser sheet fluorescence microscopy [18] was used to observe the median trapdoor axis (laser sheet approx. 10 µm thick) of a trap directly, previously infused in rhodamine dye for a few minutes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging involved the following preparation steps: dehydration of specimen with methanol substitution, critical-point drying with a Bal-Tec CPC 030 and gold coating (approx. 15 nm) with a Cressington Sputter Coater 108 auto. The SEM LEO 435 VP was used.
(b) Time measurements
The different steps during trapdoor opening in U. inflata and U. vulgaris were found to vary in duration. We recorded 16 openings with at least 3000 fps. (i) Buckling (see §3) duration varied between 0.7 and 21 ms (2 ms on average). We interpret this wide range to be the consequence of variations in pressure values before triggering or different frictions on the threshold. (ii) Opening lasts between 0.4 and 0.8 ms (0.5 ms on average). (iii) The closure took between 1 and 5.5 ms (2.5 ms on average) with a small proportion of curvature remaining. Final resetting of the trapdoor took between 0.5 and 300 ms.
(c) Elastic shell simulations
The trap body and trapdoor are modelled as elastic shells of thickness h, Young's modulus of elasticity E and Poisson ratio ν. Their potential energy Upot is the sum of a bending term, Ubend, and a stretching term, Ustretch [19], such that 2.1 and 2.2 with b as the difference between the strained and unstrained local curvature tensors, and ɛ as the two-dimensional Cauchy-Green local strain tensor. The integrals are evaluated on the surface S of the shell. It is assumed that the material is incompressible, which implies that ν = 0.5. All surfaces are described as triangular meshes (figure 2a).
The body of the Utricularia trap is modelled as a closed shell with a realistic shape (larger radius 1 mm, thickness h = hbody = 60 µm). The initial shape holds a portion of surface with negative curvature (figure 1), ensuring a smooth deflation. Simulations are performed by decreasing the inner volume V quasi-statically, and by searching for each volume the geometry that minimizes the potential energy Upot using Surface Evolver freeware [20]. The pressure difference Δp between the inside and the outside of a trap is expressed by Δp =−d(min (Upot))/dV. The Young modulus, E = Ebody, is determined by requiring the inner volume V to be reduced by about 40 per cent for Δp = 15 kPa [12,14].
The Utricularia trapdoor is modelled as a quarter of a prolate ellipsoid, with a polar radius of 300 µm and an equatorial radius of 240 µm, the pole axis joining the sides of the trap, and a thickness hdoor = 30 µm (figure 4d–f). One of the borders of the ellipsoid represents the trapdoor frame and is kept fixed, whereas the lower edge is free to move. During the dynamic simulation, the pressure inside the trap is slowly decreased from atmospheric pressure, and the position rk of each vertex k of the mesh is updated according to a Langevin equation: 2.3 with mk as the mass of the vertex, δAk as the element of surface that surrounds vertex k, nk the outward normal to the surface, kB the Boltzmann constant, T the ambient temperature and W(t) a Wiener process. The first and second terms in the right-hand side of this equation describe elastic and pressure forces, respectively, while the last two terms model the effects of the liquid, namely friction and thermal noise, even if the full motion of the fluid around the trap is not modelled. The dissipation coefficient γ is assumed to be 2 × 105 s−1. Thermal noise happens to be orders of magnitude smaller than elastic forces, and was introduced for the sake of completeness. A constant pressure difference is imposed in order to model the first phase of opening (after full opening, the pressure difference relaxes). When assuming Edoor = 2.7 MPa, one observes that the shape of the door remains essentially unchanged up to Δp = 15.5 kPa.
Complete details of these simulations are provided in a separate paper [21].
(d) Prediction of pressure for door buckling
Using scaling arguments, the buckling pressure of a spherical shell [22] is approximately given by: 2.4 with Rdoor the typical radius of curvature of the door and hdoor the thickness of the door.
(e) Prediction of the duration of trap inflation
The trap is mechanically equivalent to a mass-spring system, initially under compression, that is suddenly released. The spring to consider arises from the elasticity of the trap body, and its stiffness k resulting from the force squeezing the sides kΔe = SΔp, with Δe = 0.5 mm the change in width and S = 1 mm2 the area of each side. The mass ma is that of the displaced fluid, which is comparable to the total mass of fluid in the trap after firing (volume in the order of 1 mm3). This mass-spring system relaxes with a characteristic inertial time τ = 2π(ma/k)1/2 = 1 ms, comparable to the recorded time of suction (1 ms).
3. Results and discussion
Although the first phase (active slow deflation; figure 1b) has already been documented in terms of deflated volume and internal pressure [12], the elastic shell simulations presented here allow us to estimate the stiffness of the trap body. The trap body is characterized by a Young's modulus in the range of 5–20 MPa (figure 2; electronic supplementary material, movie S3), which is in the range of that of fully turgescent parenchymatous tissues [23]. It is two cell layers thick, mostly flexible and therefore accounts for the deformation in the deflation phase.
The second phase comprises trap wall relaxation and trapdoor opening/closure (figure 1c). We investigated suction dynamics and trapdoor movement, using high-speed video imaging with up to 15 000 frames s−1, and digital particle tracking. Several capture events of small crustaceans (freshwater copepods of the genus Cyclops) were recorded. Caught animals looping within the traps indicated that swirls develop inside (figure 3a; electronic supplementary material, movie S4). We hypothesize that these swirls, despite not being investigated here, are crucial for prey retention and caused by the inner trap structure. The trapping sequence lasts for only a few milliseconds. The time span of suction itself is half a millisecond, which is much shorter than previously estimated [3,12]. Utricularia therefore features the fastest trapping movement of all carnivorous plants, ranking even among the fastest movements generally known in the plant kingdom [24–28]. The suction time after trapdoor opening can be estimated with simple arguments based on the trap body elasticity and the mass of water displaced (see §2). The fluid speed was deduced by tracking small glass beads (figure 3b,c). We recorded a maximum fluid velocity of 1.5 m s−1, implying that liquid inertia forces are well above viscous forces (the ratio of these forces—the Reynolds number—reaches 900), and measured a maximum fluid acceleration of 600g.
The swiftness of the suction is enabled by the extremely fast opening and closure of the door, which acts as a flexible valve [2,9,10]. Our high-speed video recordings in fluorescence laser sheet microscopy reveal the following sequence (figure 3b,d; electronic supplementary material, movies S5–S7) after manually triggering the trap with a fine needle. (i) Inversion of the door curvature: the convex trapdoor—in the 'ready to catch' condition—bulges inside, starting at the region of trigger hair insertion. This inversion of curvature then spreads progressively over the door surface (figure 4a,b), with the door still being closed. In this phase, the trigger hairs converge and flap against the door, so they do not block the trap entrance during step two. (ii) Opening: the door swings inside rapidly (figure 4c), in approximately 0.5 ms on average. (iii) Door resetting: the door quickly moves back in about 2.5 ms on average. A large proportion of inverted curvature remains, then disappears as the door gets back to its initial position. The duration for a total curvature resetting may be as fast as 0.5 ms, or as slow as 300 ms in some cases.
The fast opening and closing of the door, with an abrupt change in shape, strongly suggests that the underlying principle is a buckling [24] of an elastic valve. We hypothesize that after the trap is set the internal/external pressure difference is close to the critical pressure for spontaneous buckling, and a slight disturbance suffices to trigger the motion. The triggering could be entirely mechanical (trigger hairs acting as levers) [2,9], but we cannot exclude an excitatory step (physiological sensitivity) that would help to exceed the remaining mechanical activation barrier [12]. The door buckles prior to opening, contrary to the previous assumption that opening starts before buckling [2,9]. After trap inflation, the inside and outside pressures are levelled, and the door unbuckles to its initial state of curvature, thereby closing the trap. Note that such large door displacements involve relatively small surface strains of the door: it can be estimated that the longitudinal strain of the outer surface is hdoor/Rdoor ≈ −0.1 when achieving full curvature inversion, and the opposite for the inner surface.
This buckling hypothesis is well supported by our dynamic simulations. We modelled the Utricularia door as a quarter-ellipsoidal shell (see §2). One border of the ellipsoid is fixed, whereas the other border (free edge) is in frictionless contact with a threshold. The shell has both bending and stretching energy. We performed dynamics simulations while the pressure inside the trap was slowly decreased. We noticed that the door shape changes very little up to a pressure difference of 15.5 kPa. Buckling then spontaneously occurs, with the door sliding along the threshold and swinging open, in excellent concordance with our high-speed videos of the actual trapdoor (figure 4d–f; electronic supplementary material, movie S8). When the pressure difference is just lower than this critical value, the trap is stable, but the energy barrier to trigger buckling is low, making the trap extremely sensitive to external perturbation.
Independently from simulations, the buckling mechanism entails a general estimation for door and body wall thicknesses in Utricularia. The door should be thin enough so that it buckles owing to underpressure generated by active pumping of water out of the trap. Furthermore, we can hypothesize that in order to suck a maximum amount of water and thereby prey, mechanical and geometrical parameters of the body walls and the door should be optimized so that the body reaches a nearly whole deflation when submitted to the underpressure. Too stiff a body would not deform enough, and hence would suck too small an amount of water, while too soft a body would hardly overcome viscous dissipation, and would then not be fast enough during entrapping suction. The elastic energy at a maximum deflation, in the order of Ebody (according to equation (2.1), using a deformation of relative amplitude 1), should therefore be equal to the work generated by pressure at buckling, in the order of PbucklingR3, with R being the typical size of the trap. Using the scaling expression for the buckling pressure (equation (2.4)), we predict the following door-to-body thickness ratio: 3.1
Such a ratio is smaller than 1, because the thickness hbody is much smaller than the size of the trap R, and because the range of Young's moduli for parenchymatous tissues does not extend over several orders of magnitude. We therefore conclude that doors of aquatic Utricularia are thinner than their body, with a door thickness optimized to open at a maximum deflation. This result should be important for the consideration of trap functioning in other Utricularia species where the suction mechanism is doubtful, such as in the terrestrial U. multifida [17].
Furthermore, we found that aquatic Utricularia traps can fire spontaneously, corroborating a hypothesis reported in Peroutka et al. [29] by continuously imaging a single trap during 20 days. We observed more than 60 successive spontaneous suctions during this time span, assuming that tiny swimming organisms like algae are not capable of triggering the mechanism [30]. Traps activate on average at time intervals between 5 and 20 h (electronic supplementary material, figure S2 and movie S2). This observation (also reported by Adamec [31]) confirms the buckling scenario: the pressure inside the trap reaches a low value that entails buckling, probably owing to mechanical/thermal noise.
Looking in detail at the trapdoor morphology, we found how it is optimized for fast buckling and unbuckling. The roughly semicircular door is fixed to the upper part of the trap entrance along a curved arch. It rests with its free edge on the lower part of the entrance (i.e. the threshold; electronic supplementary material, figure S1). Here, mucilage is secreted and, in combination with an exfoliated cuticle (velum), a watertight seal is achieved [2,3]. We noticed that the free edge of the door always features two conspicuous lateral folds (figure 5), which presumably add displacement space by unfolding.
The trapdoor consists of two differing cell layers. Those of the inner layer are elongated and radially arranged around the central hinge region (figure 5a). The most noticeable feature is the pattern of concentric circular lines, indicating constrictions of the cells in this middle region. These cells have been assumed to function like compressive bellows [2,3]. In addition, considering the observed deformation, we suggest that these constrictions act as pre-folds, increasing flexibility in the radial direction. This would channel the reversible buckling/unbuckling process and enforce it to follow the same reproducible deformation pattern. Buckling starts in the thickened middle piece below the thin central hinge region, resulting in trigger hair converging and flapping against the door. The hinge region along the curved arch is characterized by radially arranged cells without constrictions. This region is less affected by deformation and might serve as a spring-like structure for closing the door. In contrast, the outer cell layer of the door is not distinctly compartmentalized and features smaller cells, running parallel to each other (figure 5b).
In conclusion, our investigations show how buckling and unbuckling lead to door opening and closure, which is associated with a suction swirl. This differs from the mechanism of the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), described as 'snap buckling' [27], where a one-way internal buckling results in the trapping movement. The remarkable valve mechanism of Utricularia should provide inspiration for a great variety of biomimetic applications, especially for new deployable materials and fluid-elastic structures designed to act repeatedly, such as in microfluidic devices. On a biological level, the repetitive spontaneous valve buckling and opening could account for reports on phytoplankton, bacterial communities and detritus regularly found in traps [29,30,32,33]. Usually considered as 'bycatch', there is evidence that they play an important role in Utricularia nutrient supply [32–36]. The evolutionary success of these carnivorous plants might be explained by the fact that their traps are not only active, but also autonomous: this character could facilitate the rootless Utricularia plants to colonize nutrient-poor habitats.

As far as theme of the actual site i want to try and combine the exact styles that i gave for the logo which is high polished aluminum / steel like this with carbon fiber trimming for the tables / borders of things which is this finish here
As far as background you can keep it a dark theme. Race2ube.com is a nice example however just take a look at it and dont worry about it id rather you just create something yourself. I provide feedback everday and their will be a guaranteed winner and please remember once were done i will need about 4 subpages like the inner pages for the video listings and what not but they are very simple compared the homepage as its all the same template.
Thank you and i look forward to seeing great designs.
