The Champions League on a Saturday night may have been a great leap forward in securing football's place in the light entertainment schedule, but, writes William Abbs, watching viewers from Norwich may have been wondering why Bayern Munich were using one of their songs when they scored their goals.
Norwich City, one of the country's best-supported provincial football clubs, secured promotion back to English football's second tier at the first attempt this season. The upturn in the Canaries' profile does not end there though. Their re-elevated league status has coincided with some of football's bigger powers seemingly looking to the Norfolk club for style tips. From the beginning of the year Manchester United fans turned Old Trafford an increasing shade of yellow and green for each home game as part of their anti-Glazer protests.
The colours might have represented the fans' wish to assert their spiritual ownership of the club over the American family's financial control, by harking back to United's origins as Newton Heath, but Old Trafford's yellow and green army still resembled a battalion of that which could be found at Carrow Road every other weekend. But, as well as United's sartorial homage to Norwich, on Saturday night UEFA chose to greet both Inter Milan goals in the Champions League final with a blast from "Samba de Janeiro," a track by 90s Latino dance act Bellini and the music traditionally played to celebrate a goal by the home side at Carrow Road.
The sound of recorded music at football stadia is anathema to many. Gary Chadwick, a Burnley fan, wrote a blog last year on the subject for the fan site Clarets Mad. Chadwick was writing in response to the playing of the Piranhas' song "Tom Hark" over the Turf Moor sound system after every home goal. His article began with a heartfelt statement: "I believe that music played over the PA system is limiting the creativity of our supporters, giving them less freedom to express themselves." On Saturday evening, the web threw up another dissenting voice. Moments after the game in Madrid restarted following Diego Milito's first goal, the satirical news web site the Gaffer tweeted the opinion that "Music after goals in neutral venues really needs to die."
The directness of the Gaffer's declaration was all the more striking for having emanated from a source that primarily deals in irony. Given that its spontaneous sentiments echoed those of Chadwick's blog, and assuming that the writer of the tweet was neither sending it from inside the Bernabéu nor writing it as a fan of Inter, then the implication is that a hatred of goal music unites fans in the ground with those watching on television, and that an antipathy towards overbearing PA systems is not necessarily the consequence of an allegiance to the club whose goal celebrations are being interrupted. In short, I suspect that the Gaffer was speaking on behalf of most football fans. There might be a place for recorded music at football grounds before the game begins, during the interval, or at full-time, but in the aftermath of a goal there is simply no need for it.
After Milito beat Hans-Jörg Butt in the Bayern goal on thirty-five minutes, having feinted to shoot brilliantly before dinking the ball over the goalkeeper when he committed to his dive, the Inter fans at the other end of the stadium predictably erupted. They knew that a first European Cup since 1965 was within their club's grasp; forty-five years of expectation, hope, and disappointment was exorcised with one flick of the Argentinean player's boot. It was an emotional moment for any football fan watching on television too, knowing that they were witnessing one of the sport's great old clubs ascend to the summit of the European game once more, and hearing what it meant to the fans in the ground (well, half of them). What nobody wanted, even the Bayern supporters behind Butt's goal I should think, was to hear a tinny rendition of a song that had probably been chosen arbitrarily by UEFA in an attempt to augment the significance of any strike in their showpiece final. "Samba de Janeiro" surely holds no significance to fans of the Nerazzurri, just as "Tom Hark" holds no unique meaning to Burnley fans (and the Piranhas were a Brighton band anyway).
The Norwich City message board Wrath of the Barclay soon picked up on this latest example of the Canaries' trendsetting ways on Saturday night. "Everyone wants to be us," quipped 'Jumbo1' almost immediately, proving that residents of Norfolk pay more attention to events in the outside world than many would have it. However throwaway the message board comment was, though, it does display a certain affection that Norwich fans might have for "Samba de Janeiro." In my experience, as a Norwich resident though not a Canaries fan, any letter to the city's local newspaper that calls for the song to be replaced, or goal music at Carrow Road scrapped altogether, is met with as many contrary replies as those in agreement.
Norwich might be one of the few places in the country, perhaps the only one, where goal music has found a home. Norwich is a city that does not take itself too seriously, being subjected to so many yokel jokes by the rest of the country. Likewise, the football club is used to being patronised as a backwater, despite boasting gates of 25,000. Having soundtracked both good times and bad in the Canaries' recent history, the sound of "Samba de Janeiro" echoing incongruously around Carrow Road has somehow become a way for the Norfolk club to allow itself a knowing smile at the expense of the rest of the football world.

I started endurance sports in 2009 on a dare to enter a local sprint triathlon. Since that day, I have competed in numerous events including my first marathon last January. This year I am training to get a personal record time in my half marathon and Olympic distance triathlon.
Brenda Ratliff
I started running 9 years ago as a way to become more fit and healthy. Since that time, I have completed 8 full marathons, over 35 half marathons and a number of 10K, 8K, 5K distances. I am not an incredibly fast runner, but I am an example of how anyone (yes, anyone!) can do it! What I enjoy most about running are the friendships that I have made along the way. My goals for 2017 is to simply continue running and eating healthy so I can chase my new grandson!!

The sponsor of a controversial, late-session plan to overhaul voter registration rules said Tuesday that he's still considering whether to introduce a bill at all, and county clerks voiced their opposition to the plan.
A draft of the bill would allow Coloradans to register to vote up to Election Day, allow third parties to deliver completed ballots and require mail ballots be sent to voters, both active and inactive, by 2012. This year, citizens could register and vote on the same day up until the Friday before Election Day.
Exactly where the idea for same-day voter registration came from and how much input clerks had is unclear.
House Speaker Terrance Carroll, the bill's sponsor should it be introduced, took issue with what he called the hyperbole and partisanship that has greeted the proposal in recent days as Republicans raise the specter of mass voter fraud. He said the bill as drafted is not intended to favor one party over another.
"What's wrong with more people voting?" Carroll asked. "This has turned into some sort of a partisan slugfest. . . . This has turned into hyper-partisan hysteria."
Carroll and Secretary of State Bernie Buescher said much of the legislation came from a bipartisan association of county clerks and recorders' suggestions as a way to reduce the cost of elections. The governor's office also has played a role, Buescher said.
But a Tuesday e-mail from the head of the clerks association, Democrat and Adams County Clerk Karen Long, voices their displeasure with the bill.
In it, she says clerks were misled and told that both the minority and majority leadership supported election reform, and notes that clerks were not involved in the drafting process.
"You should know that (clerk) representation has not been at the drafting table on this bill. We saw the first draft on Wednesday and received a revised version on Thursday," Long wrote. "This DOES NOT make it a 'Clerk's bill.' "
She did not return multiple calls for comment.
Long attended a formal meeting about the legislation March 2; and in February, she and another clerk met informally with the head of the secretary of state's election division, according to a spokesman.
Buescher, already under attack from his Republican election opponent, Scott Gessler, for his part in drafting the bill, said the draft itself is the start of the discussion and not the end of it.
And while Buescher believes there is time to fully vet the proposal this year, he said it does not need to be rushed.
"There are tough issues here that need to be discussed thoughtfully, carefully," he said. "There are some parts of this discussion that are pretty simple and could be done this year. Some parts maybe ought to wait for 2011 (or) 2012."
Advocates say the draft legislation would promote voting among typically disenfranchised Coloradans by making it more convenient to register and cast a ballot.
Clerks have voiced concerns about implementing any changes ahead of this year's election and worried in some instances about potential voter fraud should they be given less time to vet registrations.
Capitol Republicans have cast the legislation as an attempt by Democrats to skew elections in their favor, and one that could endanger the integrity of elections.

On the occasion of this 3onth's cover being a tow-in, we decided to listicle the most memorable motorized vehicle assists. Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let's take a second to salute tow-in OG and Hill Valley, California, skateboard legend Marty McFly. Marty invented the tow-in back in 1955 (and according to some, invented the skateboard itself, along with revolutionizing the electric guitar solo at the "Enchantment Under The Sea" Hill Valley High dance that year) after breaking the handlebars off a milk-crate scooter and outsmarting a band of local hoodlums led by notorious date rapist Biff Tannen in a high-speed chase through downtown. Having briefly resurfaced in the mid-80s as a factory flow rider of Madrid Valterra boards, Marty is currently missing in action and was last seen living in a broken-down '85 DeLorean DMC-12 off a freeway on-ramp in Hollywood—allegedly begging passersby for plutonium. Stay up, Marty.

1. Wade Burkitt: Thrill Of It All, 1997
Burkitt's part-ending van tow-in to plus-sized pole jam in the first Zero video is the first one to come to mind. Go watch this part right now. It's one of my all-time favorites, and Wade's style to some power-chord AC/DC is eternally timeless. #highwaytohell.
2. Heath Kirchart: Mind Field, 2008
In other eternally timeless news, Heath's Mind Field part continues to look better by the day. A truly great video part tends to do this. His tow-in double-lane street gap kickflip and backside flip (and later all-white Stay Gold frontside flip) remains imperial.
3. Brandon Westgate: Made, Chapter One, 2013
2013 TWS Best Part winner, Brandon Westgate, needed some motorized help of his own in Made—but only because human legs could not possibly push fast enough to vault up that ridiculous over head-high loading dock/small house he ollies up in the part.
Download Made Chapter One
4. Gonz: Non-Fiction and Real To Reel, 1996 and 2001
This one is sort of a two-for-one Gonz entry: First, for his getting towed down Sunset Boulevard in Non-Fiction and skating curb cuts between tows; and second, for his motorcycle hitch to ollie that same motorcycle (along with Max Schaaf) in Real To Reel.
5. Julien Stranger: SkyPager, 1993
Anything from Julien is memorable times 10, and his Underworld Element part—the one that ends with the most perplexing gap-to-tailslide ever—also contains a clip of him unsuccessfully attempting to be towed in to those Atlanta brick tranny walls at Mach 10.
6. Arto, Fred, and Geoff: Sorry, 2002
Another combo deal—Flip's über classic OG Sorry had two memorable tow-ins. The first being Rowley's scooter boost to bump-to-gap frontside flip, and the second of course being Arto and Fred both towing-in to the "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" opening tailside doubles.
7. Raven Tershy: Pretty Sweet, 2012
Raven's tow-in to massive frontside pivot in China is somewhat of a no-brainer, so let me shamelessly add Danny Way breaking the skateboarding land-speed world record in '09 (74 mph) thanks to a tow from Rob Dyrdek and his modified race car.
Buy Pretty Sweet
8. Anthony Schultz: $lave Pro Part, 2011
Tow-ins obviously open up possibilities that would never be there otherwise. Anthony's motorcycle assist to ollie off the top of the big bank and over the double-overhead Patrick Henry school fence in San Diego is a prime example of said impossible possibilities.
9. Steve Forstner: The Wedge, 2009
Finally, after over a decade of rumors alleging a Randy Colvin mongo-footed attempt and possible deck-check, Steve Forstner came out from Europe, understood the need for a tow-in, and became the first-ever documented conqueror of the legendary AZ "Wedge" gap.
10. Dolan Stearns: TWS Cover, MAY 2014
Memorable in that you just saw it on the cover, and perhaps because he isn't donning those overalls—recent last-part holder of Meet The Lurkers (in which he also front 180s the aforementioned Patrick Henry fence) was towed in to this doozy of a tree field goal. It's good.


text: So I was downstairs doing my usual thing (playing video games) when I noticed a shadow in the corner of my eye. I didnt think much of it until i decided to turn in for the night. Thats when things got weird, I turned on my phone to check the time or whatever. Well half of the screen was black and the bottom was discolored slightly freaked out i decided to swipe it to find i accidently left my echovox running in the background but not turned on. The worst part is the orange circles were red. (A mistake I'll never make again). But when i got upstairs the screen started to go back to normal and currently the screen is working fine. So my question is can spiritual stuff (especially demons) affect electronics like that or am I seeing things. Because this happened around 12:51am.

State College YMCA's Easter egg hunt makes a splash
For the seventh year in a row, the State College YMCA branch's Easter egg hunt made a splash.
While most include children running around collecting eggs on the ground, the YMCA version includes something different — water.
The YMCA Easter underwater egg hunt is a chance for the kids to swim to collect the eggs and win donated prizes that are randomly hidden within the eggs.
YMCA Aquatics Director Ray Carroll said this change incorporates more exercises and infuses some fun into the program.
The free event is first-come, first-served with preregistration and the demand continues to grow. Because it's a free program, it allows the YMCA to give back to residents, Carroll said.
"It gives us a chance to kind of show our mission in the community," he said. "We're all about helping the community."
Sponsors of this year's hunt included Growing Tree, Animal Kingdom, What a Blast Lazer Tag, Northland Bowl, McDonald's, Weis, Chick-Fil-A and Students Engaging Students.
The event is capped at 200 registrations, but Carroll said about 75 percent of those people generally show up.
The hunts are broken into multiple heats for age groups between 6 months and 12 years. Each hunt features about 15-20 kids swimming through and dropping eggs into their baskets.
Carroll said it would be fun to put all the kids in the water at once but they try to make the event as safe as possible. If any kids are not strong swimmers they were encouraged to wear life vests.
And many of the kids had a great time.
Samantha Hayes, 11, likes to swim. She said the idea was better than a traditional Easter egg hunt.
She said she had a great time swimming through the water, trying to get the eggs and won some Silly Bandz.
Her mother Erica Hayes, of St. Marys, said they love the State College YMCA, so they try to go to as many events there as possible.
The family was in town for Blue-White weekend and Erica Hayes said they thought the event sounded interesting so they decided to give it a try.
"It's great. (The kids) love it," she said of the event. "It was very well organized."

friday morning...
As I drove to work on Friday morning I thought about the plans for day, the activities my kindergarteners would do, and was thankful it was Friday. I noticed a lady who seemed to miss the turn on a back road and got herself stuck in a ditch. I was thankful a man stopped to help her and I thought to myself that I need to add the local police department's phone number to my phone. As I entered the building I began my morning routine; turning on computers, starting up the projector, sharpening pencils, saying my hellos. This Friday morning added a bit of excitement and joy because there were treats in the lounge. Fridays are always better when there are treats.
Little did I know that as I was preparing for my kindergartners to enter my classroom another school across the country was facing a horrific tragedy. Little did I know elementary teachers were facing their worse nightmare. Teachers were praying for their students and doing anything within their power and control to try and keep their students safe. Little did I know...
I learned about the events in Connecticut from a parent. She had e-mailed me to let me know how much she appreciated all I did for her son and all the students in my class. Unaware of what had unfolded I quickly checked our local news website and read in shock about the events. As I read I think I went numb. I did not let myself cry and truly process the events. As a teacher I had to keep some composure. I could not fall apart. I could not allow my students to see me shaken and not be able to explain why. I breathed. I prayed. And I began to think about what I would do if that happened to me, to my school, to my students. As my students walked out the door on Friday afternoon I gave them an extra squeeze and reminded them I loved them.
On Saturday morning Eric was watching coverage of the Connecticut tragedy. I was only standing in the room for a minute or so when they began to talk about the teachers who had lost their lives protecting their students. With tears in my eyes I had to walk out of the room. I could not stay. I could not listen. I could not watch. I have not read any more about the shootings. I have not watched any of the news coverage. I have seen bits and pieces of new details on social media. I have had a few conversations with others. I am heartbroken. Heartbroken.
As a teacher I have thought about those teachers. The fear they faced. The faces of their students looking at them. Wondering. Terrified. As a teacher this is the worst thing that could ever happen to your school and your students. We train for this. We have drills, discussions, and more drills. We play the scenario out in our minds. We stare at our classrooms and wonder where would my kids be the safest. And we pray the day will never, ever, come. For these teachers the day did come. These teachers and administrators did everything right, they did what they were trained to do, they told their students they loved them, they protected them. They gave up their life for their students.
I love my students. I would do anything to protect them. I have told them countless times that they are safe. I have told them that I would do anything to keep them safe, anything. Without a second thought I would protect my students to my death. Just as I would my daughter. They are my children. They may not be my flesh and blood but they are mine and I would do what ever it took to keep them safe.
As I walk into my classroom on Monday morning I will fight the tears. I will whisper my thank you's for being able to teach another day. I will keep Sandy Hook Elementary and it's community in the forefront of my thoughts and prayers. I will give hugs without reason and I will let me students know how much I love them.
Monday morning will not be easy. Monday morning will not be without tears. Monday morning will be tough. On Monday morning I will be greeted by 29 faces eager to learn, eager to play, eager to be a part of their school community. Monday morning will come...

without words
The events of the past week have left me without words. I am heartbroken, I am angry, I am confused, I am uneasy. I fight the tears as I drive to work, I become nervous when anything seems out of the norm, I am obsessive about locking my doors, I find sadness in the constant police presence in my community. I find the news, social media, and some conversations overwhelming. I want to turn back time and wish this never happened. I want my community to feel safe again.
This world is a fallen, broken, place. I cannot turn back time, I cannot change things out of my power and control. I can pray that justice is served. I can pray that the person who has turned this community upside down will be caught. In the end he will have to answer for his actions. May it be here on earth or in hell, he will be held responsible.
I stumbled across this video this morning. It is a beautiful reminder that God is always near.

summer swimming lessons
Summertime means one thing for certain: swimming lessons.
This summer Kate participated in both of the summer swimming lesson sessions through our local parks and recreation department. Although she did not pass to the next level she has become far more comfortable in the water. She is now willing to get her whole head wet, can get herself in and out of the pool all on her own, wants to be first to try everything, and tolerates being splashed. We are so proud of all she has accomplished and her increased comfort level in the pool.
We are looking forward to more swim lessons and watching her gain all the skills needed to be a proficient swimmer!
(This was my first attempt at putting together a video using iMovie. I am pretty impressed at how well it turned out. Enjoy!)

Loving: My new Saltwater Sandals. I believe these will become a new summer-time staple in our house. They are comfortable, classic, and go with anything.
Watching: We have been watching the Olympics and a little pre-season football.
Anticipating: The start of the school year. My classroom is done. The year is laid out. Now its time to plan the first days and meet my students.
Listening To: A variety of music. I have had The Nadas, The Gaslight Anthem, and John Mayer blaring through my speakers lately.
Planning: Still working on the start of the 2012 - 2013 school year. The ideas have moved from thoughts floating around in my head to paper. Now they to move from paper to a digital, easy-to-share, document.
Working On: Making the most of the day. The noisy moments, the quiet moments, and the in-between moments. I am also working on finding a way to carve out time to write and edit photos. It is something I love but not something I make regular time for.
Wishing: To make the most of the last two and half days of summer and a wonderful start to the school year.
What are your currently loving, anticipating, wishing?
The inspiration and idea for this post came from the beautiful Danielle at Sometimes Sweet.

In addition to its antifungal and moisturizing properties, research has found that Coconut oil can increase thyroid health and boost the metabolic process, to assist weight loss. Coconut oil is unique clean oil, which does not become toxic when heated. Other oils—when heated—including corn, canola and soybean, can cause arthritis, digestive problems and have even been linked to certain cancers and birth defects.
Flax Seeds–
Also known as linseeds, are the fibrous seeds of the Flax plant. Flax seeds are rich in cell-protecting antioxidants and Omega3 essential fats. They have been found to avoid certain cancers and help lower cholesterol.
Other ingredients–
Hemp seeds are rich in Magnesium. Did you know Magnesium ions are responsible for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body? Sadly, most people are deficient in magnesium. It's actually brain food, and in this case, the extra healthy crunch adds more nutrition as well as taste. It is also high in Protein, Phosphorus, and Potassium. These amazing ingredients help every system in the body work better!
Gluten-free flours and oats, brown rice, tapioca, and arrowroot flours are carefully selected for their amazing health benefits as well as heart health and heart strength. High in Magnesium, boosts energy, anti inflammatory and loaded with amino acids! All crucial for feeling your best every day.
Dark chocolate and goldenberry, when enjoyed together provide a perfect balance of sweet and savory in the healthiest way possible! Dark chocolate is loaded Copper, Magnesium and Zinc and many anti oxidants. Goldenberries are very high in vitamin C, B1,B2,B6 and Iron. Most importantly they are key to satisfying the desire to overeat thus achieving successful craving control.

Corrinshego v Ballyhegan Davitts
Ballyhegan travelled to St Coleman's College, Newry to take on Corrinshego on a fine sunny afternoon.
After a slight delay in the throw-in the action got under way and it was the Davitts who got off the mark first in the second minute through centre half forward John Guy pointing well following good build up play involving Conor Morgan, Eoin Reynolds, James McKeever and Paddy Marley who made his first start of the league campaign following a knee injury.
Corrinshego replied 3 minutes later with a point of their own before Ballyhegan hit 3 unanswered points, James McKeever with the first on 7 minutes followed by 2 in quick succession from Paddy Marley on 10 minutes, beating his marker before splitting the posts on both occasions.
Corrinshego pulled one back on 18 minutes but the Davitts, by this stage playing attractive football and moving the ball well, replied with a goal and 2 points. Eoin Reynolds was quick to capitalise on a mistake in the oppositions defence to open his account with a point. Paddy Marley then found the net with a well taken low drive to the corner after getting the better of his marker once more. James McKeever then benefitted from a quickly taken sideline ball to curl his effort over.
Full forward Shane McCormack added the Davitts final score of the half with a well taken score from the right in between 2 scores from Corrinshego.
Half time: Corrinshego 0-04 Ballyhegan 1-07
The second half was a one sided affair with the home team coming out well and dominating throughout. They brought the difference back to 4 points before hitting 2 goals and gaining a 2 point lead. They then added a further 3 points to their tally before the final whistle
Full time: Corrinshego 2-09 Ballyhegan 1-07
For the second game in a row Ballyhegan failed to build on a fantastic first half perfoemance. As disappointing as the second half performance was, it was made even worse by the fact that Ballyhegan failed to register a score in the second half.
A huge performance is needed in the next game at home to St Michael's, Newtownhamilton to get our first points on the board.
Ballyhegan team lined out as follows: J. McKeever, J. Murphy (c), R. McCormick, R. McKeever, C. Loughran, P. McCormack, C. Morgan, C. Williamson, M. Hughes, G. Morgan, J. Guy (0-01), J. McKeever (0-02), P. Marley (1-02), S. McCormack (0-01), E. Reynolds (0-01). Subs used: R. Tiffney, M. Hamill, P. Marley Jr, S. McNally, D. McKeever, T. Keegan

This week Ive been working on the UI for the game. The design hasnt been finished yet, so this post is more about getting the elements in and working. The update is only going through to the mobile version at this stage.
First I started with the options menu. In the last update I added controls for camera change right in the game over screen, so decided it was time to move them. On top of that, controls for music, sound effects, and vibration were added, as well as a slider to control swipe length.
I implemented the slider, as I couldnt find a swipe setting that worked well for everyone.
Next up was the game play UI. Changing the health and shield counters over to graphics was the first step. Next added a pause menu, with the addition of being able to view the options menu while in there. The stats from you current game, Health, Shield, and Score, remain visible when in the pause menu.
Small addition of shop and credit buttons to the replay screen.
As well as the addition of the shop menu in the next image, the keen observer will note the new skybox for in game. It really helps set the tone for the game much better, and brings out the lighting a lot. While the shop is not yet functioning, it gives a good idea for features to come. The only thing left to decide is what the last to upgrades will be, maybe explosive shield?
And finally for this update, an icon for the Android build.

Florida readies for crucial primary
Up to now, Floridians have been observers in the circus that is the presidential race. Voting has taken place in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, and, today, the GOP holds its Nevada caucuses.
Super Tuesday is on the horizon. And then, finally, the Florida Primary is up on March 15 — showtime for a pivotal state notorious for voting maladies. Are we ready? Yes, the Miami-Dade Elections Department told the Miami Herald Editorial Board on Friday.
As the presidential election nears, the Miami Herald Editorial Board plans to focus on helping our readers make their voices heard — Democrats, Republicans and Independents. OK, Libertarians, too.
We had some success last year in getting stakeholders working together for solutions to our traffic problems via our Hell on Wheels initiative. We'd likewise like to be knee-deep in the process of selecting our next president and taking our loyal readers along.
Our county has the most voters: There are currently 1,244,182 registered voters in the county — 519,677 Democrats and 349,640 Republicans.
In a presidential race where gender matters, the numbers stack up this way, pending changes next week: There are 540,803 male voters; 669,014 female voters. Good news for Hillary Clinton.
Age is another critical fact: As of Friday, the largest voting age group in the county were those 66 and older, at 292,507. The second largest group was more of a surprise: those aged 18-25, with 139,084 registered to vote. Good news for Bernie Sanders. Perhaps.
We believe the role Miami-Dade will play in this presidential election cannot be understated. After all, Marco Rubio, a local guy, is among the leaders now that another prominent local figure, Jeb Bush, has dropped out. A third, Donald Trump, is a frequent visitor. Even underdog Ben Carson has a home in Palm Beach.
Being rightfully proactive in a presidential election year, Elections Director Penelope Townsley recently held a news conference to unveil a leaner process — along with a new I Voted Sticker.
Last week was the deadline to register to vote, or switch parties. Also last week, the elections department began sending out thousands of absentee ballots.
For those voting at a precinct this year, the process will be faster and smoother. Miami-Dade will offer more early options than ever. There will be 14 days, eight-hours per day at 30 — up from 20 — sites across the county, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez recently told the board.
The department is also doing better at distributing voting locations, ensuring that these sites can accommodate the number of voters assigned to them. In other words, there won't be multiple precincts at one site. Good move.
Also disappearing is the driving, by a designated person, of final results from precincts to the election department — an archaic mad dash. The mayor agrees. "We're using a flash drive and the results will be sent, not driven anymore," he told the board. Welcome to the 21th Century, Miami-Dade!
Overall, there will be more voting machines available. Voters will no longer have to wait for a machine designated by alphabetical order. Gone too are the giant voting registration books manned by poll workers. Electronic voter check in is now in place.
So everything should go smoothly for the March 15th primary and then for the Nov. 7 presidential election, right?

All-around solid effort for Miami Hurricanes in 7-1 win over Virginia
In a spectacular college pitcher's duel Saturday night at Alex Rodriguez Park, it was a freshman hitting .150 who made the loudest roar.
Zack Collins, a 6-3, 220-pounder who chose to become a Miami Hurricane after being drafted by the Cincinnati Reds out of Plantation American Heritage, blasted a 2-0 fastball over the right-field fence in the sixth inning for a two-run shot that put UM ahead for good.
The No. 25 Canes, losers of five of their past seven games heading into Saturday, impersonated a major-league team with their best all-around performance of the season in defeating No. 3 Virginia 7-1.
"It's an amazing feeling every time you hit a home run," said Collins, who has struggled at the plate. "For a guy to be out there and pitching his butt off trying to win this game, he's out there for six innings and we haven't scored a run. To pick him up like that, it felt amazing."
The Canes (13-10, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) not only gave stellar Virginia starter Nathan Kirby — 5-0 with a 0.59 ERA coming into Saturday — his first loss, they played exceptional defense in support of equally impressive UM starter Chris Diaz.
Diaz allowed five hits and one earned run against UVA (17-4, 5-2) in 7 1/3 innings as he raised his record to 5-0 in his second victory against a No. 3 team this season — the first one coming Feb. 28 at Florida State.
Kirby gave up three earned runs on five hits and two walks in 6 2/3 innings.
The Hurricanes had three amazing defensive plays during a flawless defensive night, highlighted by center fielder Dale Carey's running and diving grab at the warning track with Cavaliers on first and second in the eighth inning.
Cavaliers' cleanup hitter Nick Howard hit the shot to right-center, Carey sprinted diagonally toward the fence, extended his left arm as far as it could go and ended up parallel to the ground as he caught the ball.
"He hit it, I was running and at the last second I realized that I had a chance to maybe dive and catch it," Carey said. "I just laid out and it ended up in my glove. I was amazed."
Right fielder Willie Abreu, who tied the game at 1-1 with an RBI groundout before Collins' homer, hoisted Carey off the ground in celebration.
The other amazing plays included a pickup of Howard's hard chopper by second baseman Alex Hernandez in the sixth inning. Off balance, Hernandez spun around and whipped the ball to first baseman Frad Fieger, but Howard just beat it out and Virginia scored its lone run of the game.
Freshman Bryan Garcia relieved Diaz — who made another amazing defensive play in fielding a bunt — in the eighth inning and earned his sixth save for the Canes.
It was the 900th win at Miami for Jim Morris.
"We played exceptional defense and got really good pitching," Morris said. "Collins has been swinging the bat, and Dale Carey, that catch might be the best catch I've ever seen. Unbelievable catch. If that ball drops the game is tied."
UM added four runs in the eighth inning on a bases-load walk to Johnny Ruiz, a two-run double by Brandon Lopez and a sacrifice fly by Garrett Kennedy to seal the victory.
It was Virginia's most lopsided loss of the season.
The teams meet again at 7 p.m. Sunday.

hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated potassium channel 1
The hyper polarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) Channels belong to the superfamily of pore-loop cation channels. In mammals the HCN channel family comprises of 4 members (HCN1-4) that are expressed in the heart and nervous system. HCN channels are activated by membrane hyper polarization, are permeable to Na+ and K+ and are constitutively open at voltages near the resting membrane potential [1690]. In contrast to most Na+ and K+ ionic channels, which open when membrane potential is depolarized, they are opened when the membrane potential hyperpolarizes below -50 mV. [455]
Hcn1 : hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated potassium channel 1
MinK-related peptide 1 encoded by KCNE2
HCN isoforms in the CHO cell system exposed to MinK-related peptide 1 at whole cell level and single cell level:
On the whole-cell level:
Current densities of all HCN isoforms were significantly increased by KCNE2 without altering voltage dependence or current reversal. All HCN subtypes displayed faster activation kinetics upon co-expression with KCNE2.
Single-channel level:
KCNE2 expression increased amplitudes and conductance of HCN1, HCN2 and HCN4 significantly. Mean open time was significantly increased in cells co-expressing HCN2+KCNE2, while it was unaffected in HCN1+KCNE2 and reduced in HCN4+KCNE2 co-transfected cells compared to the respective HCN subunits alone. [54]
Coexpression of HCN1 and HCN2 yields Ih currents that activate with kinetics and a voltage dependence that tend to be intermediate between those of HCN1 and HCN2 homomers, although the coexpressed channels do show a relatively large shift by cAMP (+14 mV). Neither the kinetics, steady-state voltage dependence, nor cAMP dose–response curve for the coexpressed Ih can be reproduced by the linear sum of independent populations of HCN1 and HCN2 homomers [1697]
Lidocaine inhibited HCN1, HCN2, HCN1-HCN2 and HCN4 channel currents at 100 μM in both oocytes and/or HEK293 cells; it caused a decrease in both tonic and maximal current (~30 to 50% inhibition) and slowed current activation kinetics for all subunits. Lidocaine evoked a hyperpolarizing shift in half-activation voltage but only for HCN1 and HCN1-HCN2 channels. [459]
Several molecules were developed to block the pacemaker channels, such as alinidine, cilobradine, zatebradina, ivabradine and ZD7288, but only ivabradine (a benzocyclobutane compound) has passed all the clinical trials and is currently marketed as an anti-anginal drug in different states, under the trade name of Procoralan
The HCN channels form the subgroup of cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel within the large superfamily of the pore loop cation channels. Like other pore loop channels, HCN channels are complexes consisting of 4 subunits that are arranged around the ventral pore. Each HCN channe subunit consists of 3 principal structural ovules: the transmembrane core and the cystosolic amino (N) terminal and carboxyl © terminal domains. The transmembrane core is comosed of 6 transmembrane segments (S1-S6) including a positively charged voltage sensor (S4) and the ion conducting pore region between (S5 and S6. The proximal portion of the systolic C-terminal domain contains the cyclic nucleotide binding domain (CNBD), which mediates modulation by cyclic nucleotides. A highly conserved asparagine residue in the extracellular loop between S5 and the pore loop is glycosylated; this posttranstional channel modification is crucial for normal cell surface expression [1690]
CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF Cut9 in COMPLEX WITH HCN1
2Fo−Fc electron density map showing Hcn1. The N‐terminus of Hcn1 is well ordered, and the N‐acetyl‐Met group is well defined [1691]
N‐terminal region of Hcn1 is shown in cyan with Cut9 shown as a surface representation, with secondary structure indicated [1691]
The crystal structure of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Cut9 (Cdc16/Apc6) in complex with Hcn1 (Cdc26), showing that Cdc16/Cut9 is a contiguous TPR superhelix of 14 TPR units. A C‐terminal block of TPR motifs interacts with Hcn1, whereas an N‐terminal TPR block mediates Cdc16/Cut9 self‐association through a homotypic interface. The acetylated N‐terminal Met residue of Hcn1 is enclosed within a chamber created from the Cut9 TPR superhelix. Thus, in complex with Cdc16/Cut9, the N‐acetyl‐Met residue of Hcn1, a putative degron for the Doa10 E3 ubiquitin ligase, is inaccessible for Doa10 recognition, protecting Hcn1/Cdc26 from ubiquitin‐dependent degradation [1691]
Similarity in structure to KcsA
A model of the pore of HCN channels, based on the following assumptions, matched well with experiments: In the closed state, the topology of the inner pore of HCN channels is similar to that of K1 channels. In particular, the orientation of the S5 and S6 helices of HCN channels is very similar to that of the corresponding helices of the K1 KcsA and K1 KirBac1.1 channels. In the open state, the S6 helix is bent further than it is in the closed state. [455]
Cellular Distribution in Neuron
HCN channels are expressed in dendrites and axon terminals, in some cases with a heterogeneous distribution [1690]](#a1690)
A graded distribution of HCN1 in apical dendrites of hippocampal, subicular and neocortical layer-5 pyramidal cells was found. A 60-fold increase in HCN1 channel density from somatic to distal apical dendritic membranes, distal dendritic shafts had 16 times more HCN1 labeling than proximal dendrites of similar diameters, and at the same distance from the soma, the density of HCN1 was significantly higher in dendritic shafts than in spines. [324]
Expression of HCN1 in CNS
HCN1 is expressed in the neocortex, hippocampus, brainstem, spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion [1690]
The hyperpolarization-activated cation current If/Ih - and thus associated HCN channels - has been identified in various regions of the mammalian heart, the brain, the peripheral nervous system and the eye. [454]
In the murine sinoatrial node, HCN4 is the most prominently expressed HCN channel, whereas HCN2 and HCN1 are detected there at moderate and low levels, respectively. Retinal photoreceptors express high levels of HCN1, whereas HCN2, 3 and 4 were not found in these cells. In dorsal root ganglion neurons, the dominant HCN transcript is HCN1, followed by HCN2. [57]
HCN channels have a major role in controlling neuronal excitabilitym dendrite inegrationof synaptic potentials, synaptic transmission, and rythmic oscillatory activityin individual neurons and neuronal networks [1690] HCN channel activity can modulate the GABAergic synaptic transmission in the basolateral amygdala, which in turn control the amygdala-related emotional behaviors such as anxiety.[456]
HCN channels' main function is the generation of the sinus rhythm and, therefore, heart rate control. It should be expected that dysfunction in funny channels would cause arrhythmic behaviour. Molecular approaches have tried to clarify the relationships between mutations of the HCN channels genes and alterations in the cardiac function, above all according to a simple arrhythmic level [1693]
Retinal Function
the impact of HCN1 channels on the retinal functional properties was presented. HCN1 channel loss led to an intensity-dependent prolongation of the rod system response, in agreement with the threshold mechanism of activation of the channel [1692]
Comparison of HCN1 and HCN2 Kinetics
HCN1 and HCN2, isoforms coexpressed in neocortex and hippocampus that differ markedly in their biophysical properties, coassemble to generate heteromultimeric channels with novel properties. When expressed in Xenopus oocytes, HCN1 channels activate 5–10-fold more rapidly than HCN2 channels. HCN1 channels also activate at voltages that are 10–20 mV more positive than those required to activate HCN2. In cell-free patches, the steady-state activation curve of HCN1 channels shows a minimal shift in response to cAMP (+4 mV), whereas that of HCN2 channels shows a pronounced shift (+17 mV). [1697]
All four HCN channels, HCN1-4, measured in transfected HEK293 cells, exhibit very similar half maximal activation potentials. In contrast, the channels displayed considerable differences in their activation rates in the order HCN1 > HCN2 > HCN3 > HCN4. [57]

Taking Spiral Beyond Digital Signal Processing
Tuesday Mar. 19, 2013
Hamerschlag Hall D-210
4:30-5.30 pm
Richard Veras (ECE, CMU)
SPIRAL is a framework for automatically generating and tuning Digital Signal Pro-cessing (DSP) algorithms from formal descriptions to target microarchitectures. The power of SPIRAL resides in the layering of several Domain Specific Languages (DSL) which capture the necessary information to perform various classes of transformations on the DSP operation of interest. The first layer captures the data flow structure of the operation where a variety of transformations enable vectorization and thread level parallelization. This is then translated to an iterative space language which enables loop-level optimizations. After this, the operation is converted into a machine independent intermediate language which is further optimized and mapped to a target language like C. My current work is to expand this SPIRAL framework to include other domains including Stencil Operations, Dense Linear Algebra and Constraint Satisfaction Solvers. In my talk I will discuss how I have used the various layers of SPIRAL to capture non-DSP operations.
Richard Veras is a second year PhD Student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University. He is a member of the SPIRAL group and is being advised by Dr. Franz Franchetti. He earned his bachelors in Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin and his research interests are in Automatic Program Generation, and Scientific and High Performance Computing.

I've tried my share of reusable snack bags and sandwich wraps.
And let me tell you, Madasplace on Etsy has sold me on hers!
Cute, Cute Prints and quality design!
Tripp picked out these cute gnomies for himself and he also got the matching snack bag!
I love that these bags have a food safe nylon inner that is water resistant. You can easily wipe these clean AND it keeps your food extra fresh!
My biggest complaint with other snack bags and sandwich wraps is that the food tends to go stale quickly.
Not helpful to a mom on the go who likes to keep a bag or two of snacks in the diaper bag at all times!
not happening with these lined bags and wraps!
not happening with these lined bags and wraps!
The wraps are ROOMY, too!
We love going to the park and taking a picnic and I can easily fit both a sandwich for Tripp and myself in 1 wrap!
Love this snack bag!
And as you can see, she has prints for any age and style!
Perfect for "greening" up your meals on the go!
Have you considered handmade goodies for this holiday season?
Well, you should!!

It's the movie that brought Al Gore back into the spotlight and made environmentalism sexy again. Day Six of Oscar Winners Week.
Dir. Davis Guggenheim, 2006, 97 min
Almost from its release, An Inconvenient Truth has accumulated so much baggage around itself that it seems impossible to have any kind of discussion about the film without it leading to topics that really have nothing to do with it. Should it have won an Oscar? Did Al Gore deserve a Nobel Peace Prize? Is it wrong that it used a clip from The Day After Tomorrow? Is Global Warming real? It's always heartens me when a documentary is able to capture the public's attention, but the docs that capture the public's attention usually end up being discussed for the issues they tackle, rather than their artistic merits. And the artistic merits are all I care about.*
Al Gore has worked with environmental issues for decades, and turned his attention to them full-time after he won the 2000 election. He put together his now-famous slideshow as a crash course in understanding global warming, and went on tour with it. By his own estimate, he's shown it over a thousand times at all manner of venues and events. This documentary brings his show to you.
What surprised me is that this movie is just as much about Gore as it is about his mission. Intercut with the slideshow are scenes of Gore reflecting on his life. He talks about the events that have shaped and influenced him, from the near-death of his son in a car accident to, of course, the 2000 Presidential race. This isn't some attempt to mythologize the man. Rather, it reveals why he believes what he believes and does what he does. It humanizes him, and provides a personal link to the worldwide issue he's talking about. While I doubt anyone will ever watch An Inconvenient Truth to learn more about Gore, it still works well as a small character piece.
But global warming is, of course, still the main character of the film. Gore goes over the causes and effects of the phenomenon in a way that is clear and understandable, but doesn't ever talk down to the audience. As a work of persuasion, the film is airtight. Evidence and examples are always on hand to back up every claim, and responses are preemptively given to the popular counter-arguments. I don't know if the doc will sway any hardcore "skeptics" of global warming, but those people aren't given to listening to reason anyway. But the movie should be quite useful in giving a basic introduction to people who don't understand the issue.
It's always saddened me how important problems become politicized when activism threatens business concerns. The fight against global warming has probably suffered from this more than any other modern issue. Gore has to devote just as much time to refuting the lies and misconceptions that have been spread around climate change as he does to explaining the problem itself. However, he stops short of calling too many specific people or organizations out on their unethical behavior. Several times, it looks as if he might really tear into the enemies of progress, but he and the film pull too many punches. Perhaps he wanted to be as accessible as he could, but it felt weak to me.
I've always found it hilarious to hear An Inconvenient Truth decried as "nothing but a glorified slideshow" for two reasons. First, because that is objectively untrue, since the movie often goes beyond Gore's presentation. Second because, by the technical definition of what a "movie" is, a slideshow can in fact be considered a movie. If a work of art creates its meaning by cutting together different images, it is a movie. Seriously, that's all there is to it! Just ask Chris Marker.
Besides that, the "slideshow" insult carries a connotation that the film is dry or boring. Now, engagement is subjective, but Gore and director Davis Guggenheim can't really be accused of not trying. Contrary to his popular reputation as a dullard, Gore is often playful in his presentation. And it isn't in the way that a painfully out-of-touch teacher tries to be hip, either. He uses a scene from Futurama to explain greenhouse gases, for crying out loud! Guggenheim also knows exactly when to shift between the show and Gore's personal stories. He cuts away before either side starts to drag things down, and keeps both lines feeling fresh.
The poster for An Inconvenient Truth boasts that it will be "the most terrifying film you will ever see." Which I find funny, since Jesus Camp came out in the same year, and that doc is way scarier. That sums up my feelings about this film: that it has been a bit overblown. Now, it is by no means bad; in fact, its artistic quality has been mostly overlooked in all the controversy around its message. In the ideal world where the Oscars actually reward the most deserving films, would it still win? No. But then again, this movie has done more to energize the modern environmental movement than any scientific study ever could, and for that it deserves recognition and commendation. It's not a masterpiece, but I can't fault it too much.
*That being said, the answers to the questions I raise are, in order: who cares, who cares, no, and yes.

Probably everyone knows the benefits of regular honey consumption. Do you know what happens when you drink water with honey and everything on an empty stomach?
This is the best thing you can do for your body! Here is why …
With great effects of honey most people is well aware, but there are few who know the healing properties of honey water. This combination has been used since ancient times to relieve various illnesses and for cosmetic purposes.
To prepare honey water, pour one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water. This results in a 30 percent honey solution that is identical in its composition to blood plasma. Honey structures water and increases its medicinal properties, which has been scientifically proven. It is good to know that this water is absorbed completely and quickly in the body.
Honey water, prepared in this way normalizes digestion, enhances immunity and benefits in the treatment of colds and bronchitis and ensures the purification of the organism.
Improves immunity: It strengthens the resistance of the organism against bacteria, viruses, fungi.
- Regulates the work of the bowel: Honey water fights with parasites that live in our digestive organs. It doesn't allow them to reproduce and it normalizes the function of digestive tract cells.
- It is useful for weight loss: If you want to reduce your weight, drink every day, at least until 11 o'clock, 1.5 liters of this water with a healthy diet. This water purifies the digestive organs, improves their work and eliminates toxins. With proper nutrition and recreation, it helps you remove excess pounds.
- Actively nourishes the skin: In the morning, warm the water you prepared last night and wash your face, neck, area of decollete. Thanks to the systematic action of this healing water, there is an improvement in circulation in the blood vessels and more active nutrition of the skin cells. After washing, wait a moment for the honey to start working and rinse the skin with lukewarm water. If you wash this way regularly, your skin will become healthier, more fresh and elastic.
- Against frequent night urination: The honey is hygroscopic, it collects water, so that the kidneys and bladder overnight have no load and they rest. Honey water for preventative purposes should be consumed every morning on an empty stomach and should be drunk fast. This is important. The sphincter (valve) of the stomach immediately opens and the water enters the intestine, after which it is absorbed into the bloodstream.

When you open your mailbox today or tomorrow you may find another dark-money, hit-piece mailer distorting my record in hopes of preventing Scottsdale residents from voting for me.
While it is sad the incumbent candidates and their allies resort to negative campaigning, it is understandable – they certainly don't want to talk about their support for sacrificing Scottsdale's special character and quality of life to enrich their special-interest campaign contributors. They will do and say anything to distract attention from that record!
While there are only a few days left until the election, there is still time for you to fight this dark money and help me get elected by influencing potential voters. Early ballots are being returned at a slower-than-usual pace, so most of the votes in this election have yet to be cast. I still have some doorhangers and flyers that need to be passed out, a few yard signs that need good homes, and lists of potential voters to call. If you can help with any of these important tasks please contact me. And, of course, please continue to spread the word about my positive campaign to be Your Voice On Council to your Scottsdale friends and neighbors.
If you have any questions, would like more information about my campaign or would like to help, my web site is www.kathylittlefield.com and my phone # is 480-951-2549. Thank you for your support.

October 3 is becoming a big day for long-delayed horror films to finally arrive via DVD, Fango got the first word that The Weinstein Co. and Genius Products will release the British Christina Ricci-starrer THE GATHERING, lensed in 2002, on the 3rd.
Directed by Brian Gilbert, the film stars Ricci as an American backpacker injured in a car accident in a rural English village. Shes taken in by the family of the woman who hit her and befriends her son (Stephen Dillane), who has been researching a recently unearthed 1st-century church; she soon begins having frightening visions involving the locals. Scripted by Anthony Horowitz, the author and screenwriter behind the upcoming youth actioner STORMBREAKER (which, no doubt completely coincidentally, will be a major Weinstein Co. theatrical release this fall), THE GATHERING will be presented in 16x9-enhanced 2.35:1 widescreen, and the disc will retail for $24.95.

Given it's nearly December, I decided in a rush of crafting blood this morning that it was high time I made the kiddies an advent calendar. And as with all spur of the moment projects, this one is currently being created with materials all on hand. My aim is to not buy anything for it at all (apart from thread) but just use what's here.
Lily and I sat down this morning for a little bit of designing and chat about what we would make. I'm not going to share all our plans here, they are rather ambitious and that way if we don't achieve our plan I won't be embarrassed. Let's just say this calendar may be a couple of festive seasons project.
Finding a fabric for the background was the first challenge. Initially I was thinking some calico would be the go but I didn't have enough. After an extensive rummage we settled on some very pale mint heavy weight denim; 1 metre by 60cm wide.
After an afternoon session at gymnastics with a walk there and back in the rain, I got down to some sewing. This is what we've accomplished thus far. U-huh. doesn't look like much really. And now that I see the tree from a distance I think I would have liked it to be narrower. Mmm, I guess all that won't be as noticeable once it's decorated.
Construction wise, the tree is made from leftovers from Lily's mermaid skirt, the netting part actually. It is stitched along the sparkly lines to some black interfacing. Of course, the only black interfacing I have is not iron on. I've then appliqued it to the denim using a 7mm wide satin stitch, ahum. yep, that's a lot of satin stitch but it really was the best way to do it to get the look I want.
Things I learnt:
1. mesh netting is still crap to work with, particularly when appliquing.
2. When working with such a massive applique piece (60cm tall) the good stuff is perhaps a little sticky and hard to manage without sticking to other bit incidents. Best to stick with the cheap vliesofix (unfortunately, I had none on hand though)
3. It is Murphy's Law that children always fight and hurt each other when you're in the middle of applique.
Some more progress on this as it happens, hopefully.
