An MRI Brain scan can tell the difference between soft tissue organs and indicate brain activity in different areas of your brain. One of the things that doctors have learned is that all healthy human brains function exactly the same way.
MRI stands for magnet resonance imaging and it is an advanced medical scanning device used by medical professional to gain the most precise images of the internal structures of the body including the brain.
MRI uses both magnetic fields and radio waves that are completely safe. This computer technology shows detailed images of the soft tissues, muscles, nerves in your body. There is no radiation involved. The are no suspected side effects.

the genesis of FLUX: Music That Is Never The Same Twice.
may 28, 1978. marseille, france.
on tour as a member of david bowie's band.
the night before we had played a concert at palais des sport.
it's a day off. I have never been to marseille before
so in the afternoon I wander down to the famous port area.
I sat outside between two cafes.
beautiful day. the cafes both had their doors open
and both of them had different radio stations playing.
in fact, one of the radios seemed stuck between stations
and seemed to be jumping from one thing to another.
one second it would be an accordian song, then static,
then it would turn into a cello performance,
then it would return to the accordian song, and so on.
in front of me was the harbor, full of activity.
the sound of boats, motors, water, seagulls,
people walking by talking in french (of course),
cars driving past, children playing, a boat bell ringing,
and all of this interrupting the different types of music
playing on either side of me.
I remember closing my eyes and listening
to this beautiful cacophony; the sound of life.
and I thought "this is how I want my music to sound someday.
music being interrupted by life being interrupted by music."
from that moment on I began working out how
that could ever be possible.
over time I added in other ideas.
what if, just like life, the music never repeated itself?
what if it was always different, surprising?
how could you do that?
over the decades since may 28, 1978 I returned again
and again to this idea until it became a mild obsession.
I knew sooner or later it would be something I had to do.
above is the postcard I bought that day.

(and then tell me where i can buy it!)
Right on! A similar concept led me to algorithmic composition, and then the frustration of [not]dealing with algorithmic composition led me somewhere else, and I'm still on a detour!ReplyDelete
Good Luck! enjoy the journey!
Wow, this sounds amazing, fresh, exciting! Can't wait to hear it!ReplyDelete
This sounds hauntingly familiar. I read an article about soft ware companies working to develop a program that would allow you to type in any style (genre, mood, etc.) of music and it would provide you with that music at any length and intensity. It would also learn your taste. No longer would you purchase music; you'd always have a new supply of your favourites. One day there won't be any artists. Professional musicians will be superseded by software. Such software will probably be supplied by Big Brother.ReplyDeleteReplies
Recorded music isnt going anywhere. There will always be DEFINITIVE versions of a piece for some people, and thanks to technology there are now more to choose from than any before.Delete
The art in algorithmic composition, which is the basis of what you mention here, is in the algorithm. They truly are either as complex or as simple as the gamut of human approaches to music. No matter how hard I try to accomplish a similar feat as Mr. Belew, we would never get it to sound the same because our approaches and understanding of music is as individual as our minds. That being said, there are plateaus in such developments, but its often by examining the differences in approaches which drives the process forward.
If a composer chooses to go into software/algorithmic/computer composition and there is a limit to his/her coding ability; the approach is usually defined by the 'goal' which is defined by the composer, the programmers would be analogous to musicians in an ensemble.
Further study may involve looking at John Cage's chance procedures, Iannis Xenakis' formalized mathematical functions, macro formulas of Stockhausen, aleatoric free jazz (and where improv and form intersect- e.g. Zorn's game pieces which are as much about politics as they are about music,) dice-music, natural sound structures (from whales to static,) and noting the overlap in form between such musics and traditional formalized musical forms, the stuctures, approaches in composition, and their subsequent outcomes.
There is another interesting facet of the outcome of such musical endeavors, and that is one you skirt, James.
Its the function of art in society, and the statement one makes, either intentionally or unintentionally through unification of music from so many subsets of humanity under one roof. Commonly, music is used as a unifying or dividing 'flag' for social purposes, and creating such genre defying music bridges gaps in social contexts, providing a mechanism for commonality among disparate groups (of course, if the groups are unified, how separate are they actually?)
after thinking about it still more, trends start to emerge through action/reaction principles.Delete
Periods of simplicity tend to follow periods of complexity, anti-commercialism following commercialism (of course, these trends also exist coincidentally, to some extent)
In other words, after a period of computer composition we may see people arrhythmic-ally banging on pots and pans for variation from the monotony. This is an oversimplification of one trend.
The success of the art may have more to do with financial backing and the dynamics of the marketplace, Im not sure anyone know what those may be. Art is being democratized by technology at the rate greater than any other industry, and industry uses art to push its agenda- usually technology. In this scenario, a cycle of devaluing proceeds due to the lack of any strong unified social context for art prevailing outside of industry. Since before '1984,' there has been a fear of a monopoly on communication- the real world exit from such a monopoly is in the marketplace.
The thing about art is its an idea- and once ideas are in the human psyche, they tend to stick around- for better or worse.
Interesting subject, though. Begs for further research.
Cannot predict the effect of an art which hasn't been experienced; even though its tempting. Too many variables.Delete
Looking forward to hearing this.ReplyDelete
ahhh! the secret project is finally coming out!!ReplyDelete
-can't wait!
I can hear it !!!ReplyDelete
Just received the pre-release. Thanks Ade! Looks like a Classic to me.ReplyDelete
it's like the old adage, stop to smell the roses, but now stop and hear the noises. looking forward to it.ReplyDelete
being a long time fan of yours and general lover of all things experimental and unique i'm always pleased to discover something cool and new. I hope i'm not overstepping the blog etiquette and listing a link to an interesting artist named Diego Stocco...
I have no affiliation to him just saying he reminds me of your guitar as orchestra days and has a unique way of making music with everyday objects.
very exciting times!!!!, the mutation is arriving, I felt this change specifically in music, I thought it involved something about the air, and how sound is transmited, or something about our brain wired in certain new way to perceive time, and also human experiences, feelings, uncouncius-colectivity (dreams included), a whole living, not just listening, I jut wondering, but FLUX I can feel is this new thing, a great day in the magical Marseille thanksReplyDelete

Post subject: Great King Diamond Article
Fantastic diary from King Diamond about his life and near death / coming to grips with his mortality over the last few years
"In late 2010, metal almost lost another senior statesman when King Diamond (aka Kim Bendix Petersen) suffered several heart attacks at age fifty-four. King was a lifelong smoker; he later learned his family has a strong history of heart disease. His condition required triple bypass surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation that strained his physical, mental and spiritual limits. On several occasions, he says he wanted to die. Throughout the ordeal, King gained strength from his wife, Livia, and his fans; he said that support was crucial to his rehabilitation and eventual recovery.
King Diamond is now healthy, healed and performing. But that doesnt mean he was unaffected by the ordeal; his experiences in surgery and after will work their way onto his next album. We let the digital recorder run for more than an hour and assembled an oral history from Kings narrative. If you have something good, dont save it for five years, King told MetalSucks. Were privileged to share his story of the road back and his thoughts on the future. The King is alive; long live the King.
The first surgery took four hours. That was just a camera going up and looking at my veins and heart through my leg. I was alert and talking to the surgeons. Then I got the news from a surgeon who said that things dont look good at all. That was it. I was fucking not ready for this. It s not like I suddenly believe in God because this happened to me. Thats the way I am as a person; I need proof. But I have seen that there is more to things than meets the eye. I felt like I brought something back from the other side because I was there. For a few hours, I was dead. Several times, I felt face-to-face with death.
The operation took seven and-a-half hours. For about three or four hours you are really not here. Theres a roller coaster of emotions. You are lying on a gurney outside of an operation room and you say goodbye to your wife, maybe for the last time. You have to say goodbye and you dont want to.
We tried to get some power from our late cat, Magic. She led the path for us. We had necklaces made from the experiences with three rings that were custom made by my jeweler. I wasnt allowed to have mine on during surgery so Livia kept both in her hands. She was told things would take five hours and that if it wasnt done that didnt mean things had gone wrong. Seven plus hours later they finally came out and said it was over and I was in intensive care. She came there and was forewarned I had a tube breathing for me. They pretty much collapsed my lungs to operate. So you have to learn to breathe again almost from scratch. You have almost zero lung capacity. It hurts so bad to blow in this machine to get your lungs working. You have to work for every breath.
They kick started my heart. I feel like I brought something back. Thats a feeling I just have.
When I came to the first time I couldnt see Livia. I could only see in black and white. I saw what looked like three doctors standing over me. I could have been in a spaceship because I didnt recognize them as human doctors but they were doctors, no doubt. Then I experienced the feeling of choking, not being able to breathe. I tried to blink my eyes. I felt like I had no control over my breathing. It was the worst feeling I have ever experienced, the worst.
I just wanted it to stop. If they had heard my thoughts they would have heard me begging them to kill me, Please, I cant stand this shit. I got so frustrated that Livia said I was trying to pull the tube out of my open throat. Livia called [the hospital staff] and they practically grabbed me and tied me to the bed. You are tied down; you cant do shit; you cant communicate. You absolutely want to die. Thats Metallicas One.
Two days later, stubborn as hell, Im up walking. I was in the hospital ten days. I felt like I was in a King Diamond song. They kept saying you need to walk to get your strength back before we left you go.
At night, when Livia went home to take care of things, Id go and look out so I could see her get the car in the parking lot. I had wires still in me going into my heart so they could kick-start the heart if needed. Walking the halls felt straight from The Graveyard album. I was walking from nurse station to nurse station. I kept thinking I need to walk and get strong to go home. You have to do this shit. Then you get to the point where they are ready to let you home but you have to have this examination.
Finally, they said I could get my stuff and go home. It was a good thing Livia knew how to change the bandages when we got home.
The surgeon made me promise I would start walking a half-mile a day when I got home. So you start walking. For months, I had to confirm with Livia that she could see me and hear me and feel me that I was here. I felt like a ghost walking around in limbo. I had to have that confirmation that she could see and hear me, touch my shoulder. I needed that for quite a while. It felt like I shouldnt be here. But these good people were able to give me a second chance
I was sleeping in a chair for one hour at a time and would wake up with horrible nightmares. I could still barely breathe. I told [Livia] not too long ago that I was trying to stay awake to beat death just because I was breathing so badly, I was worried about dying in my sleep. I also couldnt lift a cup because the whole front [of my body] was just clipped open, sawed open. Its grown back together now and I have metal down my chest. Its been braided together around the bones in the chest. I have a long braided, thick metal rod under the skin.
Music was the last thing on my mind. I didnt even think about it. I was in a totally different mode. It was survival mode. I had to get better for Livia and the cats.
I got so much positive stuff from the fans and everyone around, the label. Thats another big reason I made the effort. I felt positive that people wanted me. But they werent like get better so you can play again and sing again and make albums. It just proves we have the best fans in the world because they understood.
I was going to doctors. Constantly testing the blood, machines. Then its going to rehab. Some of these people [in rehab] had gigantic stitches all over. I got one of the best surgeons; I was lucky.
He had no idea until after the whole thing that I played in a band. When he checked up on us he said: you never said what you do. I just said I needed to put my trust in you and let you do your best. Rehab was really hard in the beginning. Lifting your arms up to my shoulders was hard. I was forbidden from driving a car for a while.
I had to change my diet and become a nutritional expert, eat much better food. I stopped smoking, havent had a drag. Livia quit, too. We walk at least five days a week. I felt the benefits during two shows we did recently. My voice is now clearer than when I started singing. It was like always driving a used car and suddenly you have enough money to buy a new car. It felt brand new! Thats how my voice feels. I breathe different now than I used to. I played some festivals. In the past it would been like [makes a gasping noise]. Now I go off stage and start talking to close friends.
[Hellfest] felt really good. Some of the smoke blew the wrong way halfway through the set and it was like standing in thick fog and you are breathing this shit in and it kind of shot my voice down. At the beginning of Black Horsemen I had to work so hard to get the sound out. Everything else was so good with the voice.
I feel like I used to live in a house with ten windows and now I have twenty windows in the house. Theres so much I can see and I pay more attention to what I do see. My philosophy hasnt changed but I dont take anything for granted. The band is doing different things; its a good thing for everyone, including the fans. We just signed a new deal with Metal Blade. It was ready before we played the shows. These werent test shows but they were for me. Well be doing three more albums worldwide and it will be Metal Blade all over. We have new booking agents, a new lawyer. There are a lot of new things. We set up a new fan club. All those waited until we showed we could execute those shows.
We are getting new gear to write so we can really sync up on ideas. I expect a lot of myself in my songwriting on the (next) one. I also cant wait to go in the studio and see what this new voice feels like. We have thirteen shows that have been confirmed; some of them we are waiting to hear from promoters. We arent done booking. I guarantee fans are going to go home with memories they wont forget.
I never expected a thing like this. I smoked cigarettes for a long time. That contributed to the possibility [that I would get sick]. But I never ate bad food. Ive always stayed away from fast food because I simply didnt like it. Seafood, for instance, I like shrimp. I found out its the worst thing you can eat if you have problems with cholesterol. I had no idea! How would I know?
Livia is practically a nutritionist now. Shes read up on so much and we went to meetings with a nutritionist. We continued from there and I changed my eating habits. When they took my blood before my operation they saw my (cholesterol) figures were off the charts. They said theres no way no matter how you tried this could happen; it has to be hereditary. I found out later that I had an uncle who died at 55. My cousin had a stent put in three weeks before this happened to me. So, you open your eyes.
Ive been given a second chance theres no doubt about it. How long? I dont know. Ill take what I can get. Ill try to do things better than before. If you have something good, dont save it for five years. Then it never happens; you had a great idea and you never manage to do it. So we arent going to save things for a later date. Lets do everything as good as we can. "

And the scene will stand united in grief again, with every banger more shattered than the other.
BTW: How are those "Prince Denmark" he used to smoke like a Turk? Never seen them around here, would like to try one.

Hopefully not. Seriously, I'm glad he's alive and fine but let's face it, his best metal days are long gone no matter what TheUnborn will say in his scorned reply to this post. The last semi-good King Diamond album dates back to 2000 and post-reunion MF is a joke for the most part. Some people just never know when it's time to give up.

Actually from what I've heard (not much) his voice sounds better than pre-sickness. So at least maybe there won't be those shitty shits like in GMYS chorus. While I'm not really a fan of his recent few, he definitely didn't release turds bad enough to be some 'shame' upon his career. As for MF I liked all of their shit, and DA which I take as worst I'd give 8/10.

Vespucci Institute 2014: Brain and Space
Victor Schinazi
ETH Zürich
Only a month before the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was jointly awarded to John O'Keefe, May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser "for their discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain"1, another group of scientists were gathered in Lisbon for the 2014 Vespucci Institute on Brain and Space. Unlike its predecessors that focused on topics in geography and geoinformatics, the 2014 Vespucci Institute focused on how the mammalian brain supports spatial cognition and navigation. This was an unprecedented move for a conference in geography and one that addressed a disconcerting lacuna in the spatial cognition branch of neuroscience. Indeed, despite years of groundbreaking findings, a true interdisciplinary meeting that attempted to bridge the gap between different species, computational models and artificial agents was still lacking. It was with this in mind that the organizers of the Brain and Space meeting invited scientists from different fields for five days to discuss current and emerging views with an attempt to develop overarching frameworks on spatial cognition and navigation.
Figure 1. Participants of the 2014 Vespucci Institute on Brain and Space (photo courtesy of Jeff Taube).
The conference was organized around four themes:
- ♦ Neural computations of space: Spatial updating, path integration and landmark navigation
- ♦ Fragmentation of space: Hierarchical representations, scales of space, parietal contributions to spatial memory
- ♦ Goal representations, navigational planning, and predictive coding
- ♦ Development of navigational functions across the lifespan
Vespucci conferences are often regarded as elite meetings in the field of geography and this was not different this time around. The meeting was a relatively intimate affair with only 39 invitees arriving from variety of countries around the world. The conference took place at the Champalimaud Center for the Unknown, a state-of-the-art science and technology facility known for its risqué architecture, and located where the River Tejo meets the Atlantic Ocean – once the point of departure of the famous Portuguese sea explorers. The meeting followed the "unconference" spirit of Vespucci Institutes. Participants were encouraged to interact and discuss rather than showcase their latest findings in power point style presentations.

The conference started with brief description of the goals and objectives for the week. This was followed by self-introductions and expectations by all participants. The organizers then presented a series of short talks on the current state and the future of the field from various perspectives. Participants and organizers were divided into four groups that included a mélange of experts from the animal, human and computational sides of neuroscience as well as geographers and cognitive psychologists. These groups defined the character of the meeting for the following days and provided in many ways the camaraderie and depth of discussion that is common to Vespucci Institutes. A typical Vespucci day consisted of an introductory presentation given by the chairs of one of the groups. These presentations were accompanied by lightning talks in which the various group participants had a chance to give short presentations and discuss their own work. These discussions usually carried on until the end of the afternoon when the different groups left the conference venue to continue their chats in smaller groups over food and drinks.
On the third day of the conference, participants had a chance to leave the (windowless) Champalimaud room and continue their conversation together with a guided tour of the Alfama district – the oldest district in Lisbon and the birthplace of the Portuguese Fado music genre. The conference concluded with short presentations by Professors Wolbers and Taube who discussed some of the challenges, opportunities of novel methodologies including a lively debate on the role and potential applications of virtual reality technology.

In general, the conference was a great success with several of the attendees remarking the strong intellectual content and depth of discussions. There is, however, always room for improvement. Regarding the Vespucci "unconference" model, it is safe to say that it worked for most of the time but not always. While this is an upgrade from the typical parallel track conference, future multidisciplinary Vespucci meetings still need to find the right balance between depth, breadth, structure and freeform. This was particularly the case for some of the geographers, who despite being familiar to the Vespucci family and spatial scientists par excellence needed to work especially hard to keep up with some of the more detailed discussion. Perhaps future meetings will include more "bridge builders", to help clarify conceptual and semantic issues and suggest ways to link the work from different scales and species. Despite these shortcomings, the Brain and Space meeting allowed for scientists from different fields to meet and make new contacts, reconcile some of the findings from the human and animal sides, discuss novel methodologies and clarify a couple of myths about what geography is and what geographers actually do. Although junior scientists were somewhat underrepresented, those that were present benefited from the Vespucci intimate style and were able to spend some quality time and engage with the more senior names in their field.
The 2014 Nobel Prize brought much-deserved recognition to the spatial branch of neuroscience. Place cells and grid cells are certainly two key components of the brain's GPS system. Yet, as evident from last years Brain and Space Institute in Lisbon, a variety of open questions remain unanswered (after all, what sort of brain GPS does not rely on head direction cells?). Some of these questions can probably benefit when addressed within an interdisciplinary umbrella. The 2014 Vespucci meeting was an effort by geographers to raise some of these issues and open them to various perspectives. It is now the turn for the neuroscientists to pick up this starting thread and develop their own strand of conferences to continue this tradition.
The 2014 Vespucci Institute on Brain and Space was organized by Thomas Wolbers (German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases), Jeff Taube (Dartmouth College), Ila Fiete (U Texas at Austin) and Victor Schinazi (ETH Zürich). The meeting would not be a reality without the multidisciplinary spirit of the Vespucci godfathers Werner Kuhn (University of California, Santa Barbara) and Michael Gould (ESRI). A special thank you is also due to Alfonso O'Neill and António Câmara (yDreams) for the organization and coordination of the events in Lisbon.

Q&A: Mexico also reforming its power sector
Gustavo Madero, president of Mexico's opposition National Action Party, helped push his organization to join with the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party in approving a significant overhaul of Mexican energy policy. The constitutional amendment and related legislation still in the works will open Mexico's nationalized oil sector to more international investment for the first time in decades. During a visit to Houston last week, he spoke with the Chronicle about how the changes will affect Mexico's national oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, and other aspects of the nation's energy landscape. Edited excerpts:
Q: Mexico is now at the point of developing the laws and regulations to implement its energy reform. Which are the most important to the reform's success?
A: Several laws will be key. One of the biggest considerations that these regulations take on is the fiscal climate. Today, 30 percent of the public income comes from Pemex, so the way Pemex is reformed will be one of the main issues.
Another concern involves the additional regulatory agencies that are going to be developed to oversee the energy industry. They need to be well designed - strong and autonomous - to handle all the changes that are proposed.
There is also the challenge of adapting the new regulations to the new structure of Pemex.
Q: What do you see as the main challenge of restructuring Pemex?
A: There are two - the unions and the government. Both contain elements that have their own interests to protect, and these interests will be affected by the reform. Both could provide resistance that could slow down the pace of the reform or possibly block it.
Q: Gasoline is subsidized so heavily in Mexico that it sells for less than it costs to produce. In order to attract downstream investment, refineries would have to be able to make money. How will the reform affect gasoline prices?
A: This whole situation clearly needs to change. Mexico is not going to be able to maintain such high subsidies. The rationale behind these subsidies has always been that they are helping the poor, but the truth is that they are supporting those who already have money - the middle class and upper class. Because of these kinds of subsidies, there isn't the money to help the poor.
Q: There has been a lot of discussion about how the energy reform will affect the oil sector. But it also will usher in profound changes to the electricity grid, and there doesn't seem to be much of a road map for what this will look like. What are your predictions?
A: You're right. Everyone is talking about oil and gas, and no one is talking about our electricity market, which is going to be opened up completely to the private sector for the first time. It could be the most important change of all. We are going to separate out the transmission from the generation. There is already a lot of private investment in generation in Mexico, but there are controls on how it can be sold to the Mexican grid and under what terms, and this is all overseen by the Federal Electricity Commission. Because they own the generation and the transmission, it has been difficult for private investment, but this will change.
Q: How do you see the security issues in Mexico affecting investment from the United States, and Texas in particular?
A: The drug cartels are well established in states including Michoacan and Tamaulipas. I'm convinced that we will succeed in improving the security of these areas, but it is going to take time. It will also require more coordination, better preparation on the part of the police. It won't happen overnight, but these things occur in cycles, in my view, and we are in the downturn of this cycle right now. Security issues are not increasing, and things are getting better, bit by bit.
Q: How do you think the energy overhaul will change the relationship between the United States and Mexico?
A: Electricity prices, for example, are twice what they are in the United States. We hope that the reform will bring changes that cause these prices to fall, and that lower prices will encourage a range of manufacturing and industrial companies to begin operating in Mexico. This will increase our competitiveness and our economic importance.

Copyright Boss: 'It's Great Mechanics Now Need To Know About Copyright'
from the no,-actually,-it's-not dept
It would be difficult to look on this turn of events in a positive way no matter what angle you might take. It's clearly abusing copyright law beyond its intended purpose. It's limiting competition. It's making life worse for the public and for small businesses. So how could this possibly be spun as a good thing? Leave that to Copyright Office boss Maria Pallante. At a recent conference all about Section 108 of the Copyright Act, she apparently declared (via Copycense, who was in attendance):
"I think it's really great your car mechanic knows about copyright"She similarly argued that a big challenge of copyright law is making it more accessible and suggested it was a good thing that it's "no longer" reserved to experts to deal with copyright law. All of that should actually be seen as a pretty massive problem with the system. As a government-granted monopoly privilege that also has free speech implications, we should want copyright to be very carefully limited and calibrated in a manner that it is not something that enters people's everyday lives, and that it's not an issue that a mechanic should ever need to know about. Those are signs of a completely broken system. They're signs that copyright has expanded massively beyond its basic structure, into a monstrosity, often driven by the nature of technology. When your mechanic needs to be an expert in copyright law just to know if he or she can fix your car it may make Maria Pallante happier, because it seems to validate her job, but it should be seen as a huge problem for the system. A copyright system that is working is one that doesn't trouble totally unrelated professions like mechanics. It's only a broken system that would create serious friction in jobs like that. That the head of the Copyright Office does not realize this is pretty frightening.

The camera app in stock Android is notorious for being rather lackluster. The controls can be wonky and there are very limited options. Compared to the TouchWiz and Sense camera apps, it's simply not very good. Motorola has taken note of this, and will be using a custom camera app in the Moto X.
Leaked by Android Police, the camera app on the Moto X will maintain a stock Android look, but manages to change things up quite a bit. Nearly everything in the Moto X camera app will be gesture based. To open the menu, which features a slow motion video capture option, you have to swipe in from the left side of the display. Swiping from the right will open the gallery. Swiping up will zoom in, and swiping down will zoom out. To take pictures, you need press once anywhere on the screen. To take multiple pictures, press and hold.
As seen in the Rogers video detailing the Moto X, there is indeed a gesture to open the camera app. Flick your wrist twice, and no matter where you are, even with the display off at the lock screen, the camera app will load. This can be turned on and off in the settings.
We knew Motorola wasn't going to use a completely stock version of Android on the Moto X, and this further proves it. It'll be interesting to see what else Motorola saw fit to change. What do you think of the Moto X's camera app compared to stock Android?

A recent discussion on facebook about the image to the right (a poster trying to convey a message to prevent rape) has led to me realizing that many issues about rape need to be discussed that simply aren't. The one discussion led to about two dozen sexual-assault related issues being brought up. Specifically, misunderstandings about who commits rape, racist and sexist stereotypes associated with sexual assault, what constitutes sexual assault, how BDSM is related to sexual assault and even victim blaming and the question of if men can be raped (of course they can).
Interestingly, some of the topics brought up in the discussion were quickly dismissed by other posters. Some oversights made by the creator of the poster were seen as minor problems for various reasons. So, this is the starting post of what I hope will be an ongoing discussion about Sexual assault.
I have much to write about, so I hope that you will be a patient audience. This isn't an easy topic to navigate and I already know it will be difficult for me and may even be difficult for those who read what I have to say.

The next year of spending is at the beginning stages of development in the city of Washington. Several projects and concepts are in discussion for the fiscal year that begins in July. City Administrator Brent Hinson has started outlining highlights for the city council, which ultimately approves the budget decisions.
Hinson says in a memo to council members that he expects the total budget to be about 14-million dollars next year, which compares with 17-million for last year. Fewer capital expenditures are expected for next year. One big-ticket item would be a project at the Washington Municipal Airport. About 3-point-8 million dollars would fund reconstruction of a runway. The city expects the Federal Aviation Administration to fund about 90 percent of the cost of that work.
Other planned projects involve repaving or reconstruction of city roads including South Iowa, West Tyler, and East Madison.
Several aspects of the city's water infrastructure have been targeted as needing repair or replacement, but no specific projects have been outlined for next year's budget. The city will know more after an engineering firm completes a facilities plan.

Remember back when Nokia jumped to Windows Phone 7, abandoning all other platforms and future directions? Remember Elop's infamous 'burning platform' memo was coveniently 'leaked' to the web? Remember how Elop claimed Windows Phone 7 was the only way forward, since nothing else inside the company would be ready for prime time soon enough? Remember how I thought this was a very good and sane decision? Well, the first reviews of what will be the only MeeGo handset from Nokia (the N9) are in, and well... To whoever decided to go WP7 and ditch MeeGo: I don't like you. To myself: I'm an idiot for arguing this was a good idea.

It is very form fitting, the material feels really nice and i love how the striped pattern elongates your body and hides all the little imperfections.

Costa Rica coach Jorge Luis Pinto urged referee Ravshan Irmatov to keep a close eye on Dutchman Arjen Robben in Saturday's World Cup quarter-final against the Netherlands.
"We are really worried about Robben's diving," Pinto told reporters on Friday.
"I would like to ask FIFA and the referees to watch out and be very careful because this is very important and this could have a huge impact on the result."
Robben, who has been one of the tournament's standout players with a string of impressive displays and three goals in Brazil, caused a storm when he admitted that he had dived in the first half of Sunday's last-16 2-1 win over Mexico.
The rapid forward went on to win a stoppage-time penalty after going down easily under a challenge from Rafael Marquez which striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar converted to seal victory.
"I think Robben is one of the three or four best players in the world," Pinto said.
"But on the other hand we have to say that there have been refereeing mistakes and referees have to watch out – we are really worried about Robben's diving.
"He admitted he dived, so I hope that the referee and the assistant referees are very careful tomorrow. I respect FIFA and the referees very much but I tell them, please watch out."
Pinto was speaking on the eve of Costa Rica's first ever quarter-final appearance after a dream run in Brazil that took them through a tough group thanks to a solid defense and some gutsy counter-attacking displays.
On Saturday they face a Dutch side who destroyed defending champions Spain 5-1 in their opening group game on their last visit to Salvador's Fonte Nova arena.
"(The Spain match) sends no shiver down my spine at all," Pinto said. "Of course I respect them, but we have played against England, Italy, and even Greece is a very difficult team. We are never scared, we respect them but we will try to control them."
Pinto will have goalkeeper Keylor Navas fit for the clash after he recovered from a shoulder injury. The stopper has been in fine form for the Costa Ricans and was the hero of their shootout triumph over Greece in the last round.
"He has played very well in Europe and Spain and in our national team and of course that makes us very confident and it makes us very difficult to play against," Pinto said.

SANFORD — Circuit Judge Jessica Recksiedler today is expected to surrender control of the George Zimmerman second-degree-murder case.
Her replacement will be chosen from among three remaining felony judges in Seminole County, including:
John Galluzzo, a longtime Oviedo lawyer who has represented two dozen murder defendants while in private practice.
Kenneth Lester Jr., a 15-year veteran judge who gave Michael Reynolds two death penalties plus a life prison sentence for beating and stabbing a Geneva couple and their 11-year-old child to death in 1998.

It was clear right from the start that the 50 freestyle was going to come down to two people. They hit the water at the same time. At the turn, nobody was even close. Southington swimmers cheered on the deck as the two raced for the finish, and why wouldn't they?
The freestyle sprint could only be won by one of two swimmers, and both were Blue Knights.
Bryan Adie (23.97) edged Joe Taglia (24.22) for the victory, but both were winners at the meet. For both of them, it was a rare chance to compete in the sprint event. For both of them, it was a state-qualifying time.
"Those are two kids that bust their tails 24/7," said Blue Knight swim coach Evan Tuttle. "It's their devotion to this sport and this team that pays off in the end. I was able to move them around and get them into the 50 freestyle today. Normally I'm not able to do that, but the result was two state qualifiers."
On Friday, Feb. 1, the Southington swim team returned to action after a week and a half of practice, and there was no sign of rust as Southington swam past Plainville, 92-85. Tuttle used the meet as a measure for his team's progress as they prepare for the most gruelling stretch in their regular season schedule.
"Today, we showed the advantage that we haven't had in the past couple of years, and that was depth and numbers," said the coach. "I had extremely high expectations coming into this meet because we had some opportunities to work on some improvements in practice. That's exactly what I saw today—little things in terms of starts and turns, and those little things made huge differences. Ultimately, it launched a couple of our kids into states."
Ed Klein, Matt Duszak, Vladislav Kiveliy, and Taglia combined for a victory in the 200 medley relay (1:51.8), and Southington never looked back. Mack Golos followed with a win in the 200 freestyle (2:01.19) to set the stage for Adie and Taglia's duel in the 50 freestyle. Southington never trailed. The Knight rallied for wins in seven of the next nine events to build a 92-47 lead and turned to exhibition races in the last three events.
Adie captured wins in the 50 freestyle and 100 breaststroke (1:12.02). Kiveliyk was a double winner in the 100 butterfly (59.71) and the 500 freestyle (5:41.66). Taglia captured the title in the 100 freestyle (55.4). Taglia and Adie teamed with Kolton Jankowski and Adam Sokolowski for a win in the 200 freestyle relay (1:39.34).
Even the divers stepped up at the meet with Mike MacDonald approaching a state qualifying score with his second place finish (138.45). McKenzie Pelletier (121.45) and Mariah Washer (108.15) both scored.
"We're right where we need to be." said Tuttle. "We're poised for the gauntlet that we have coming up. We're going to be swimming three of the top teams in the state in this upcoming weeks, and that's going to be a challenge. It's absolutely going to be an uphill battle, but good teams rise to a challenge."
Now, the Knights (3-2) will face their toughest test of the season with upcoming meets against Farmington, Conard, and Hall over the next 10 days. Win or lose, Tuttle expects to build momentum as his swimmers jockey for postseason qualifying times.
"We're fortunate in swimming to have multiple forms of success," he said. "We're going to be using these teams in the upcoming weeks as measuring sticks for where we can be in the postseason. I fully expect to pull some upsets against these teams in some individual events. We're going to surprise people."

Sharlto Copley has had a tough time finding a role that's nearly as interesting as his breakthrough part in District 9, as the alien-infected government agent Wikus. But he looks ready to be on quite a roll-- just this week he was confirmed as both the villain in Spike Lee's Oldboy, as well as the lead in the thriller Open Grave. Now he's adding another very high-profile film to his schedule-- Deadline reports he's in talks to join Angelina Jolie in Maleficent, the retelling of the Sleeping Beauty told from the villainess's point of view.
Copley will play King Stefan, presumably the father of Princess Aurora, the young woman cursed by Maleficent and put into a long, deep sleep. The funny thing is we still don't really know who will play Aurora-- there had been a rumor a while back that Elle Fanning may take the role, and while she seems perfect for it, there hasn't been any kind of confirmation since. Copley's casting, and the looming March 14, 2014 release date, probably mean they'll have to cast someone soon. If I were to guess I'd say Fanning is still their choice, but maybe she's holding out for a better deal.
Robert Stromberg, who did production design for Alice in Wonderland is taking over the director's chair once occupied by Tim Burton. While he's unproven as a director, he's lining up a lot of talent that might help make that transition easier.

This birth story combines two elements that make it especially dramatic: another "I didn't know I was pregnant" tale, plus a dangerous birthplace. Bonus: there's a connection to British royalty too!
An unnamed female soldier has given birth at British military base Camp Bastion in Afghanistan, the same one where Prince Harry is stationed. The baby boy was born just four days after the camp was attacked by insurgents, leaving two Marines dead, and six jets destroyed. The base is located in one of the most dangerous parts of the country.
Plus: Mom Gives Birth in Airplane Bathroom
The military will not deploy pregnant women, and was unaware the rumored gunner was expecting. There are unconfirmed reports in the British media that the woman herself didn't know she was pregnant. She conceived before shipping off.
Both mom and baby are in stable condition, and will be heading to the United Kingdom soon.

Enrico Azzimonti's Heron Table Lamp
Anyone who has ever taken a figure drawing class has had the chance to marvel at the stark, yet animated design of those wooden artists' mannequins — the way they capture the body's anatomy with succinctness, yet without sacrificing the vibrant quality underneath. This delicate abstraction is exactly why you might fall in love Enrico Azzimonti's Heron lamp, which distils the basic table lamp to its functional essence, managing at the same time to give it an almost lifelike character.
Created by Italian designer Azzimonti, the Heron is ostensibly of cold, highly-basic aluminum construction. But with its graceful neck and red detail, which stretches across its body like a pulsing artery, the lamp appears like an elegant giraffe or fantastical member of the animal kingdom. Speaking even further to the animate character of the piece, it is earth-friendly— made of 100% recyclable material and equipped with energy-efficient LED lights. In the world of design, it's a modern-day mythical hero.

While at AHIMA, Healthcare Scene sat down with Kim Carr, Director of Clinical Documentation at HRS. In the following video, I ask Kim Carr to make the case for dual coding. I even assert that many look at dual coding as dual work, but Kim Carr offers a number of important reasons that organizations should be doing dual coding ICD-9 and ICD-10 today.
While dual coding is great for your ICD-10 preparations, it turns out that your organization can benefit from dual coding even under ICD-9. Kim Carr talks about a specific example of benefits you can gain for your organization even before ICD-10 becomes a requirement.
Certainly some organizations struggle with how to do dual coding while still maintaining their day-to-day coding production. This is where an organization may want to look to an outside company to help them through the process.
Considering New Years is just around the corner, maybe dual coding would be a great New Years resolution for your organization.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Two new assistant coaches, one new challenger for the quarterback position, one potentially key position change and an abnormally large list of 32 returning starters are some of the ingredients that will be in the mix when the Tennessee Tech football team opens spring drills Tuesday afternoon on Overall Field.
The most important aspect of the month-long drills, according to seventh-year head coach Watson Brown, will be teaching fundamentals and improving each player's understanding of the system and skills.
"Our goals for the spring never change," Brown said.
"We want to make sure we have the right guys in the right
positions, and we want to teach and develop their fundamentals.
"We don't have to worry about game plans in the spring, so we can spend so much more time working with each player," he said "We work to get each kid better, and his knowledge of the game better."
Brown's coaching staff has two new members who will be working with the players. Dewayne Alexander will coach the offensive linemen, while Donn Landholm will work with the inside linebackers and serve as special teams coordinator.
The spring roster will feature just one new names, with the addition of quarterback Trent Thompson who enrolled at TTU in January and will go through his first action with the team. A 6-foot-3, left-handed quarterback, Thompson led McEachern (Ga.) High School, the No. 1-ranked team in Georgia's largest classification, to a 10-2 season in 2011 as a senior.
He will provide a healthy challenge to returning starter Darian Stone, who took over the role for the final four games of the season for injured Tre Lamb. Stone rushed for 497 yards and passed for 752 over the final four contests as a starter, averaging 124.2 per game on the ground and 188 per game through the air.
Also in the mix at quarterback this spring will be redshirt freshman Jared Davis and sophomore Matt Hamby.
Brown said the team heads into spring drills with only one position change, but could see more as the sessions unfold. The one change could be a huge one, though, as runningback/receiver Doug Page moves to inside linebacker. Page ranked second on the team with nine touchdowns last season, including eight rushing scores as the team's go-to back in goal-line situations.
Page's move doesn't leave the Golden Eagles light in the ball carrier department, with the return of Bud Golden, Stephen Bush and Radir Annor, among others.
They are among the 69 players on the spring roster who return from the fall, including 55 who saw action. Because the team battled through so many injuries, Tech may boast the largest number of returning starters in the nation – 32 players are in spring drills after starting at some point in 2012.
The Golden Eagles will go through 15 spring practice sessions, weather permitting, with the team getting into Tucker Stadium Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons at 3 p.m. and Saturdays at 1 p.m. for scrimmages. The annual Purple/Gold Scrimmage is set for Saturday, April 20, one day before the team's annual awards dinner on Sunday, April 21. The final scrimmage will take place Friday, April 26, to close the books on sprig drills.
NCAA Division I football programs are permitted to conduct 15 practices during the off-season. The 15 practices must be held during a period of 34-continuous calendar days. The first three practices of the spring are non-contact with players wearing helmets and shorts.

Hearing Everyday Communication
Johndan Johnson-Eilola holds up a pen.
"You know what this is," he says. It's not a question.
"A fair chunk of time and cultural lessons went into you knowing what this is and what it's used for. You see the barrel and know it can go behind your ear or in your pocket. You know you can pull off the cap and hold the thing in your hand to write with it."
Then he picks up a piece of graphite, carved to look like a ram's horn.
"This is for writing, too, but it doesn't say that to you because it doesn't fit your expectation of a pen."
Both represent different ways manufactured objects can communicate. One measure of successful design is how quickly objects tell us their function and how we can use them. As a professor of communication and media at Clarkson, Johnson-Eilola has become a highly regarded authority on these topics. He's conducted research and published award-winning books on the interface between humans and the seemingly endless array of things we interact with. (See sidebar.)
"Take Facebook or Amazon," he says. "These websites are designed to be simple and quickly understood. But they're also designed to draw you in and entice you to keep interacting with them for hours. That design and its effect on us, that's communication, too."
Now, on top of the web, add television, radio and print—taken together, these are the heavyweights of mass media—and it's easy to see there's an awful lot of communication going on. Johnson-Eilola has taken an in-depth look at how these media saturate our lives—and our minds.
"We're not completely over-saturated, yet," he says, "but we're close. And something interesting is happening. We're developing strategies—some unconsciously—to filter out a lot of the noise from mass media. Teenagers, for instance, don't even see banner ads anymore on websites."
It's an important issue for marketers, he says, because absorbing the message is a crucial part of communication. It also illustrates a problem for the web's future because filtering is rarely precise. Blocking out one thing often means limiting other stimuli and messages—some of which might be important.
"As we filter, we're also limiting the potential of the Internet," he says. "As a communication tool, as a medium that allows just about everybody—not just the wealthy or powerful—to create and distribute information, limiting that or putting it in a box can have a real impact on society."
Learning this gives students in Clarkson's Communication & Media Department the knowledge and skills to develop better ways to convey a message, whether they design websites or consumer goods, produce content for electronic or print media—or simply pick up a pen to see what it can say.
Professor Johndan Johnson-Eilola's ideas on the environment of information we live in — in the real or virtual world — have earned international notoriety and a following in the field of technical communication.
One of the first to use the term "datacloud" referring to each individual's intellectual atmosphere, Johnson-Eilola says we all build a sphere of information around us, pull out relevant bits and then restructure it into new material.
Here's a partial list of books Johnson-Eilola has written, edited or contributed to:

Va. man exonerated of '78 rape regains right to vote
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Charles City area man exonerated of a 1978 wrongful rape conviction is regaining his right to vote.
Bennett Barbour thought he was eligible to vote after the Virginia Supreme Court exonerated him in May. But Gov. Bob McDonnell must restore his voting rights because he has other, less-serious felony convictions.
Barbour also owes court costs in Henrico County and fees to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles.
Supporters of the 57-year-old Barbour raised funds Friday and Saturday to pay the court costs.
McDonnell spokesman Tucker Martin tells The Richmond Times-Dispatch that Barbour will be able to vote once the court fees are paid on Monday.
Martin also says the governor waived the unpaid DMV fees.
Barbour's lawyers say he plans to vote in Tuesday's general election.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - The Texas Rangers have reached a 10-year deal with an insurance company for naming rights of their stadium.
The team said Wednesday that its 20-year-old stadium will immediately be renamed Globe Life Park in Arlington. That is part of an agreement Globe Life and Accident Insurance Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Torchmark Corp. in McKinney, which is in the Dallas area. Terms were not disclosed.
Opened in 1994 as The Ballpark in Arlington, that original name stood until 2004, when it was changed to Ameriquest Field. But the mortgage lender relinquished its naming rights before the 2007 season, the same year the company shut down, and the stadium had since been known as Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

Credit unions that deliberately create a culture of financial education among employees and offer ongoing training give their credit unions an edge, says Adam Carroll, a financial education consultant.
"Because we work in a financial services area, we should be more financially literate," Carroll says.
Creating a culture of financial literacy is a top-down process, that begins with the CEO articulating that financial literacy for staff is a priority. Each employee must be onboard with the fact that the credit union will serve not only as a financial institution, but as a financial education institution, Carroll says. Read more>>

***1/2 (out of four)
If we cut loose with friends on vacation, do we lose ourselves or become who we really are?
It's a big question generated in the unexpectedly great "Spring Breakers," which, yeah, could be lazily dismissed as just an onslaught of boobs and naughty behavior—impressionistic debauchery that attempts to stylize many parents' worst nightmare. Yet the film is the rare exploration of identity that's likely to play repeatedly in dorm rooms and frat houses while also putting film classes to work.
I wouldn't necessarily call writer-director Harmony Korine's film high art. But it's what Gus Van Sant ("Elephant") might make if MTV hired him. In "Spring Breakers," ex-Disney commodities Selena Gomez ("Wizards of Waverly Place") and Vanessa Hudgens ("High School Musical") star with Ashley Benson ("Pretty Little Liars") and Korine's wife, Rachel, as college girls who hit the Florida beach seeking pure, intoxicated escape.
Gomez and Hudgens have commented on doing this open-ended, divisively indulgent film to complicate their squeaky-clean image, and, bongs and bikinis abounding, they certainly succeed. Sample quote from Candy (Hudgens): "Seeing all this money makes my [bleep] wet."
With about a thousand times more commitment than he showed in "Oz the Great and Powerful," a terrific James Franco plays a cornrows-and-grill-sporting hustler/rapper who goes by the name Alien and declares, "I'm from a different planet, y'all." When the gals get busted and Alien—who's sure to have viewers shouting, "Sprang braaake!"—bails them out, he seems like the worst thing that could happen to them.
Or maybe they happen to him. Korine, a long way from despicable, undisciplined emptiness like "Gummo," allows scenes to overlap and bounce to an exceptional score by Skrillex and "Drive" composer Cliff Martinez. Meanwhile, "Spring Breakers" plays with themes of power, need and the expectations of how its characters, perhaps only doing what they think pop culture long has told them to do, will behave. The deliberately named, religiously inclined Faith (Gomez) panics after the arrest, while the others take it in stride.
The film is neither a cautionary tale nor a slippery slope. Rather, it documents experiential fluidity, as fake guns turn into real ones and reality intrudes upon a situation that's meant to feel more like a dream.
Korine's camera ogles as befits the setting, where friendship means you'll have someone to pee next to on the side of the road. To many, the story will feel both familiar and bizarre, and not just because Alien, allegedly inspired by real rapper Riff Raff (claims Riff Raff), plays an outdoor piano and leads the gals in a sing-along of "Everytime" by Britney Spears—whom he calls one of the greatest-ever pop stars.
That's debatable, as is "Spring Breakers" and its characters' escalating, borderline-intentional enabling of tragedy. Korine achieves an electric vision of self-discovery through chaos and rebellion against the tyranny of the safe and familiar. He hasn't just tapped into the youthful, throbbing pulse of the party—he's analyzed the dash between the wub-wub.

Ken-Ton consolidation scenarios, presented the old-fashioned way
The Ken-Ton School District is exploring possible ways it could consolidate its schools.
Eight scenarios have been presented by SES Study Team, the Canastota-based consulting firm that was hired to find out how the district, whose shrinking student population is spread among 13 schools, could run more efficiently while preserving and increasing student opportunity.
In all but one of them, Holmes Elementary School would close.
In most of the scenarios, the Franklin and Hoover elementary/middle school campuses would be used as single schools instead, with more capacity for the reconfigured student populations.
"They are just glorious buildings," said consultant Paul Seversky, for flexibility for delivering instruction.
Districtwide, buildings in their current condition could suffice.
"There's no need for major renovations in any of those scenarios," said Doug Exley, another member of the study team.
But the challenges are formidable in seven of the scenarios: Which buildings would close.
The district would face "mothballing" and maintaining unused buildings – eating into the money saved from closing them, with the added challenge of trying to sell them. Also, existing transportation routes would have to be redesigned to reflect the new attendance zones.
Neither School Superintendent Mark P. Mondanaro nor members of the Ken-Ton School Board are commenting on the scenarios, pending a review by a community-employee stakeholder focus group. The consultants also are keeping quiet, but for a different reason.
"It would be inappropriate for the study team to answer questions or address statements about what your district should do. We are just guest outsiders," Seversky said last week at the first of four scheduled public meetings about the study.
It will be up to the focus group to prioritize the scenarios for possible action by the School Board. Meanwhile, here's a synopsis of each, including estimated savings in building operation and staff expenses:
• Option A – No buildings would close. No savings.
• Option B – Edison, Hamilton, Holmes, Lindbergh and Roosevelt elementary schools would close. Pre-K through fifth- grade programs would go to the Franklin and Hoover buildings. Kenmore Middle School would house grades six and seven, and the two high schools would include eighth-graders – in separate wings. Estimated savings: $3.6 million.
• Option C – Edison and Holmes elementary schools, and Kenmore Middle School would close. Pre-K to first-grade students would go to Hamilton, Lindbergh and Roosevelt; grades two through four to the Franklin Building; five through seven to the Hoover Building; and the two high schools would include eighth-graders. Estimated savings: $2.7 million.
• Option D – Edison, Holmes and Roosevelt elementary schools would close. Hamilton and Lindbergh would host pre-K and kindergarten; grades one through three would go to the Franklin Building; and four through six to the Hoover Building. Seventh-graders would go to Kenmore Middle School and grades eight to 12 to the high schools. Estimated savings: $2.1 million.
• Option E – Holmes and Roosevelt elementary schools, along with Kenmore Middle School, would close. Edison, Hamilton and Lindbergh elementary schools would house pre-K through first grade; grades two to four at the Franklin Building; and five to seven at the Hoover Building. Grades eight through 12 would be in the high schools. Estimated savings: $2.7 million.
• Option F – Holmes, Lindbergh and Roosevelt elementary schools would close. Pre-K and kindergarten would be in Edison and Hamilton elementary schools; grades one to three in the Franklin Building; four to six in Hoover; seven in Kenmore Middle School; and eight through 12 in the high schools. Estimated savings: $2 million.
• Option G – Holmes Elementary School would close. Pre-K through fifth grade would be offered in Edison, Franklin, Hamilton, Hoover, Lindbergh and Roosevelt. Hoover and Franklin middle schools would offer grades six through eight; and the high schools grades nine through 12. Estimated savings: $1.6 million.
• Option H – Edison, Holmes and Roosevelt elementary schools, as well as Kenmore Middle School, would close. Hamilton and Lindbergh would house the pre-K and kindergarten program; grades one through three would be at the Franklin Building and four through six at the Hoover Building. Grades seven through nine would be in Kenmore East; and 10 through 12 at Kenmore West High School. Estimated savings: $3.1 million.
The consultants will present their findings at public meetings at 7 p.m. Monday in Kenmore West High School and Tuesday in Hoover Middle School. Friday is the deadline to apply to serve on the focus group; applications are available at the meetings, the district's administration building and some municipal offices.
