β-crystallin mRNAs: Differential distribution in the developing chicken lens
Harry Ostrer, David C. Beebe, Joram Piatigorsky
The synthesis of the β-crystallin polypeptides has been studied in different regions of the embryonic chicken lens. Seven β-crystallin polypeptides ranging in molecular weight from approximately 19,000 (19K) to 35,000 (35K) daltons were identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Each polypeptide was synthesized in a rabbit reticulocyte cell-free system supplemented with RNA from the embryonic lens fiber cells suggesting that each is encoded by a separate mRNA. Analysis of the cell-free translation products of the RNAs from 6-, 15-, and 19-day-old embryonic chicken lens fibers demonstrated that all seven polypeptides are translated at each of the stages and that the proportion of β-crystallin mRNAs increases as the chicken embryo matures. Fingerprints of methionine-containing tryptic peptides indicated that the three predominant β-crystallin polypeptides synthesized in the reticulocyte lysate (20K, 26K, and 35K) have related but distinct primary structures. Surprisingly, both the 35K β-crystallin polypeptide and its mRNA were selectively absent from the cells in the central region of the epithelium. Synthesis of this polypeptide from extracted RNAs was detected in the elongating cells of the equatorial region of the epithelium and from the fiber cells. In contrast to the 35K polypeptide, the six lower-molecular-weight β-crystallin polypeptides were synthesized in a reticulocyte lysate directed by RNAs extracted from all three regions of the lens. These data indicate that lens cell elongation and fiber cell differentiation in the embryonic chicken are accompanied by the appearance of the mRNA for the 35K polypeptide.

An email signature is a new way to present a branding statement about an individual, a company or a business establishment. There are different strategies that you can use to make your email signature stand out when placed in the final format of an email message. All you need to do is to ensure that you are well-prepared when creating your own email signature. By prepared, we mean that you should already be backed up by the information you need to know how to create an effective email signature.
If you are running a business, remember that when developing a marketing and branding strategic plan, it is essential for the design and content of an email signature to be included in the planning and development processes that you will go through. This will help you apply continuity within the terms and ways that you will follow and use to present the business. More so, the email signature that you will make should not only be informative but also visually pleasing so it can present your branding and online identity properly.
An email signature is not used by everyone either because some think that it is unnecessary or it can also be because they are intimidated by the processes that they need to follow to create one. If you still have not decided on whether to create an email signature or not, we highly suggest you to browse through the information below so you can be aware of the benefits and advantages that you can get if you will have your own email signature. Also, these items will help you understand why an email signature is an important part of an email.
An email signature is a vital part of your online branding. Aside from specifying your name and other information, an email signature is a reflection of who you are either as a professional or a private individual. The way you format and design your email signature says a lot about you and what you do. You can be associated with anything that you present to people and your email signature is not an exemption.
An email signature is a way for you to get the attention of your email receivers.Your email signature can make the people who will receive your email look at your email again. An attractive and appropriate email signature can convince people to give more attention to all the content of your email.
An email signature can provide or convey an information that is important to be known by the people to whom the email is for. If you will use an email signature, the people who received your email can easily contact you. This also means that you are giving them the perception that you would like to have future transactions with them which is why you are calling their attention to be knowledgeable of your contact details.
Refer to the email signature template given by the company where you are working.
Look for email signature samples that you can use as inspiration in creating your own.
Download and use a template that can guide you in formatting an email signature.
Look at client email samples and use these as your references when creating your email signature.
Your name. It is highly suggested for you to use your full name for professional reasons. However, you can skip putting your middle name or middle initial for security purposes.
Your current professional position. If you are working for a company, you can place your work designation. You can change this depending on your current involvement to organizations or any other personal undertakings.
The company where you work for. It is very important especially for business emails to have an email signature that contains the name of the company where a person is from. This is a way for you to inform your email receiver that he/she was given the email for a particular professional transaction that your company would like to inform or update him/her with. This can help them be easily aware of the purpose of the email. You can also add the logo of your business or the company where you work for.
Your contact information. Providing your contact details is a formal way to state your willingness to be of help. Provide the contact information that is essential to be known by your email receivers. As an example, provide the contact details of the company if you believe that your personal number should not be used to transact with the people to whom you will send emails.
Online and social media links, if necessary. If your work requires you to connect with different entities through social media, then listing your online and other social media links will be helpful. This can work best for bloggers, online personalities, and web developers.
If you would like to, you can also include your photo or an image that can easily catch the attention of your contacts. Also, there are companies who require their employees to include a few statements that are essential to be placed in an email signature due to legal requirements.
May it be a meeting email or any kind of email samples, adding an email signature can make it look more formal. Remember that it is not only the content of your email signature that you need to give focus on but its design and format as well. Listed below are some of the tips that you may incorporate in designing your own email signature.
Make your email signature simple. Use a few but important design items so you can create an email signature that is appealing but is not overwhelming. Having a format to follow when making the design of your email signature can put its content look put together and properly organized.
Create a color palette if you would like to add vibrancy to your email signature. Pick one to three colors to use so that you can maintain the professional look of your email signature even if you will use a few colors. Adding a lot of colors, especially those that are vibrant, can make your email signature appear informal. If you do not want to use a color palette, then using a black and white email signature will do.
Ensure that you will have a presentable email signature. You can be modern and select between a flat or a three-dimensional design. The important thing to remember is to make sure that the email signature looks polished and clean.
Make your email signature understandable. Be keen when selecting the font that you will use when making your email signature. Avoid calligraphy and other special fonts as they can sometimes be too distracting. Also, be aware of the size of the fonts that you will use and the additional styling that you would like to incorporate in them.
Use a responsive design for mobile phone users. It depends on your decision if you will use a responsive email signature. However, it will be very helpful especially nowadays that people already use their phones to check emails.
Make sure that your email signature is memorable and can leave a positive impact to the receiver of the email. The overall design of your email signature should be cohesive and well-formatted so that it can provide a perception of professionalism and formality. It is best if you will refer to an email signature template or sample when making your own email signature.
Always make a corporate look by using confidentiality statements and corporate links. This will depend on the nature of operations of your business as well as the country, state, or a particular location where your company is located.
Ensure that you will provide your updated contact information. Your email signature is an effective way to keep in touch with business connections. Make the most out of your email signature by ensuring that you have the correct, precise, and update numbers and addresses placed in there.
Be professional. As much as possible, do not use quotations when creating your email signature. The content of your email signature should be direct to the point and appropriate for the purpose on why it is made. Do not make your email signature insignificant by providing a length of information that is not even useful in the first place.
An email signature may be a short and simple part of an email, but it sure can provide a lot of positive impacts to you and the brand that you would like to present. As a branding tool, your email signature is surely more than just a set of words and numbers.
Make sure that you can fully benefit from its usage by following the guidelines that we have specified. More so, keep in mind that it is essential for you to balance the content and design of your email signature so that it can be an effective way for you to be associated to your business or company. Make a professional email signature now so you can already experience the things that we are talking about.


Captain Greg Le Sieur is more than a ship captain; he is a knowledgeable tour guide who knows Cocoa Beach, Florida, and the rest of the Space Coast very well. Take some time to read his message to those looking for a maritime adventure, and what people who have toured with him have to say.
I have loved the sea and sailing from the time I was a little boy growing up on the shores of Cape Cod. Most of my summer days were spent exploring the waters and islands of Pleasant Bay on small sailboats or rolling around Nantucket Sound with my dad, trying to catch blue fish (although we usually ended up only hooking a flounder or sea robin).
My first taste of tall ship sailing came on a spring semester abroad in college, on the Sea Education Association's 125' staysail schooner, Westward, which was launched in 1961. On this boat I enjoyed a true ocean experience while learning the traditions of sailing windjammers. I cruised from Miami to the Bahamas, to Bermuda, to Nova Scotia, and finally ended up in Cape Cod. The Westward is currently used by Ocean Classroom.
After this, I took to the sea for the better part of the next decade, sailing in California, Mexico, the Caribbean, the US East Coast, the bays of Maine, the Canadian Maritimes, and the Great Lakes. I began as a student and worked my way up to deckhand before finally receiving the title of captain.
A few of my other ships include the US Brig Niagara, which is a 198', double-masted square rigger, and the Californian, a 148' square topsail schooner. I also sailed the Spirit of Massachusetts, a 125' gaff-topsail fishing schooner, and many others. Currently, I hold a 100-ton near-coastal master's license for motor and sail-auxiliary vessels.
As much as I love sailing, I love people even more! People of all ages have a great, relaxing time on our family boat, and I look forward to spending a wonderful two hours with customers on Florida's sparkling waters. I hope to be able to share my passion for sailing with you, and I am happy to hear you share your interests with me as well!
"Immediately Captain Greg made our entire crew feel at ease and at home on the water. He is an experienced and friendly guide who effortlessly launched us on a sailing adventure that we will remember forever.
Shortly after we set sail Greg spotted some dolphins swimming in the distance. He took us a little out of the planned charter to get closer, knowing that our children were really excited at the possibility of seeing them in their natural environment. The dolphins swam right beside the boat jumping and diving for us! It was far more than I could have ever expected.

The Neophyte receiver is an easy-to-build receiver, already built by lots of people. Many radio clubs used it as a project for starting builders. It was developed by John WA3RNC and first published in QST, February 1988. The circuit can be used to create either a 80m or a 40m receiver, depending on a few capacitors. The 60m band is just in between, therefore I decided to find out the correct caps for this new amateur radio band.

Non Turing Complete Programming Languages
In this article, we have explored the idea of Non Turing Complete Programming Languages and listed all examples of Non Turing Complete Programming Languages along with advantages of such languages.
Need of Non Turing Complete Programming Languages
Non-Turing Complete Programming Language means there exist computations which cannot be implemented using these Programming Languages. This is also known as Turing Incomplete language.
In simple terms, Turing Complete means any computation can be implemented in a Turing Machine. So, Non Turing Complete Programming Language cannot implement all kind of algorithms.
The most common Programming Languages like Java, C++, C, Rust, GoLang, Python and others are Turing Complete Programming Languages.
Example of Programming Languages that are not Turing Complete are:
SQL92
Berkley Packet Filter (BPF) Bytecode
BlooP (Bounded Loop) Programming Language is a Non Turing Complete Programming Language. It has one limitation that is every loop must have a limit on the number of iterations that is infinite loop is not allowed. Halting Problem can be solved using programs using BlooP language.
Charity Programming Language is a Non Turing Complete Programming Language that can solve difficult problems like Hanoi Tower and Ackermann Function.
Data Languages like HTML, XML, JSON and Markdown are always Non Turing Complete Programming Languages as they are designed to represent data and not computation.
Note that declarative SQL and Procedural extensions of SQL are Turing Complete. Only SQL92 is not Turing Complete. Similarly, Lambda Calculus is Trung Complete but its variants like Typed Lambda Calculus and System F are not.
Non Turing Complete Programming Languages are quite useful in real life applications and are the preferred choice for safe and restricted systems. The applications of Non Turing Complete Programming Languages are:
Adding restrictions in a Programming Language to make a particular task/ implementation impossible
To guarantee termination of implementation
Simplify code by eliminating possibility of runtime error
This paper titled "Total Functional Programming" by D. A. Turner from Middlesex University, UK explains why restricted languages (like non functional programming languages) are preferred as guarantees of Compiler are strong but proving limitations of languages are much convinient.
Non Turing Complete Programming Languages are uncommon yet very powerful to impose restrictions on a system and avoid unexpected situations.
Every serious Programmer should give a Non Turing Complete Programming Language a try to understand its power.

Th. E. Balke offers a catalogue of Old-Sumerian names. The study encompasses prosopographic features, especially professional and administrative classifications of the individuals. This classification enables the identification and differentiation of individuals using the same names and the correlation of many short names and corresponding complete forms of names. The catalogue is based on the names mentioned and listed in ca. 1.850 Old-Sumerian administrative and legal records of the 25.–24. cent. BC from Lagas (al-Hibā) and Ĝirsu (Tellō) from the archives of the é-mí "House(hold) of the 'women' (wife of the ruler)" and of the é-Ba-Ú "Temple of Ba'U". In addition, personal names mentioned in pre-sargonic votive inscriptions from Lagas and in the oldest legal records have been taken into consideration.

Helping Young Athletes Plan for Life After Competitive Sports
While the numbers are much higher for student-athletes who attend IMG Academy's elite boarding school, only about 7% of United States high school students who play sports go on to play a varsity sport in college, and less than 2% go on to play at NCAA Division I schools, according to 2016-2017 school year data from the High School Athletics Participation Survey conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations. As parents, we want to see our children succeed and achieve their dreams, but it is also important to be realistic and ensure our children are well rounded and prepared for careers that may not involve professional sports. Here are some ways you can do just that:
Encourage them to be a leader: Whether it's being the captain or co-captain of their sports team, taking on a leadership role in a club at school, joining student government, or being a leader in an organization outside of school, kids who have experience as leaders learn initiative, confidence, and organizational skills that transfer directly to college and later on to their jobs once they enter the workforce. Help your child explore the various ways in which they can take on leadership roles, and encourage them to pursue these opportunities. Even if they don't always achieve those roles, the process of campaigning for them will instill lifelong characteristics and skills that are also beneficial. They can even tie their leadership experience into their sport by coaching a team of athletes in a younger age group.
Encourage them to volunteer: While a lot of high schools have volunteer hours as a part of their graduation requirements, and many colleges require them for admission, you should encourage your child to do more than just the minimum amount of volunteering. If you are an active volunteer in your community, bring your child along when they are young so that they develop an appreciation for helping. By volunteering in their community, your child will meet people of various ages and from all walks of life. This experience will open their eyes to what the "real world" is really like while giving them the satisfaction of making a difference as well as an opportunity to explore other avenues they may enjoy. Volunteer opportunities are so varied, from manual labor to tutoring or fundraising, so your child will have a variety of experiences while building a very wide skill set.
Encourage them to have varied interests: If your child shows an interest in something outside of their sport, such as music, assembling or construction, technology, or something else, encourage them to explore it. A child who likes to building intricate items out of building blocks could grow up to be an architect; a child who likes to take apart and reassemble machinery could grow up to be an engineer. If you find a club or classes within your community that align with your child's interests, these could help them to explore those interests further and meet peers with similar interests.
Encourage them to get a job: As a parent, you may already want your child to get a job to help with saving for college or to purchase their own luxury items they may be wanting. But, getting a job when they're of age can also help lead them to a future career while also being beneficial when it's time to apply to colleges.
Start planning for life after sports now: Help your child understand that they most likely will be pursuing a career that is not tied to playing sports after they graduate from college. Even if they do go on to play at a collegiate level, they will still need a game plan once they earn their degree. Erin Reifsteck, an assistant professor in the UNCG Department of Kinesiology, dealt with the dilemma of what to do once she completed her education at Saint Francis while playing field hockey. She used that dilemma to launch a program called Moving On!, which helps college athletes make a healthy adjustment to life after athletics. Reifsteck used a difficult transition to inspire her, setting a great example for student-athletes to follow. Your child can even consider exploring ways in which they can tie the sport they played into their future career, whether it's by pursuing an education in sports health or by becoming a sports journalist.
Kelli Hinton is an IMG Academy College Counselor and works directly with student-athletes who are seeking to commit to their desired collegiate program. Hinton provided her perspective on planning for life after athletics as it relates to her experience at IMG.
"Life after sports doesn't always mean giving up your love for the game," she said. "Use the skills and life experiences obtained from being a part of this unique population to make yourself stand out when choosing the next step in life."
Student-athletes who attend IMG Academy's elite boarding school don't just receive training in their sport. They also experience a well-rounded education that includes both personal growth and social responsibility. Playing sports as a child creates a fantastic groundwork for a child's adulthood, but it is also important for a child's parents and the other authority figures in their lives to guide them to explore what their life will be like after their sports career ends.

Celtic missed out on signing Atalanta defender Timothy Castagne despite making an offer of £8.7 million in January, according to Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Bhoys wanted to sign the 23-year-old Belgian right-back to boost their defensive options but reportedly missed out.
The position has been a problem for Celtic this season, with Mikael Lustig and Anthony Ralston the men manager Brendan Rodgers has been relying on.
Prior to the end of the transfer window, he brought in Jeremy Toljan on loan from Borussia Dortmund, and he has immediately slotted into the defence.
However, it seems that the Germany Under-21 international may not have been Celtic's first choice.
Castagne has made 20 appearances in all competitions for Atalanta this season and made his international debut for Belgium last September.
Since making the move from Genk in July 2017, he has become a key part of the Italian side's defence.
Rodgers was keen to bring in defenders during the January transfer window and may have had a number of targets lined up.
Although he missed out on signing Castagne, he brought in Andrew Gutman and Manny Perez to give himself more options.
Calvin Miller also returned from his loan spell with Ayr United to ease the club's shortage of defenders.
However, in recent weeks, they have welcomed back Dedryck Boyata, Kieran Tierney and Lustig from injuries.
The Bhoys are six points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership and after 5-0 win over St Johnstone in the SFA Cup at the weekend, are back in action against Valencia in the Europa league on Thursday.


Dash cameras are a fantastic, budget-friendly safety feature for fleets, and they come with numerous benefits across the board. For both fleet owners and drivers, they can provide peace of mind in the event of an accident, partly because the footage could be used to protect the companies assets if the accident was not their fault. But what other benefits do dash cameras come with? Well, lets take a look.
You may have heard of the notorious crash for cash scams, which involve someone purposely crashing into you and, more than likely, filing a case against you for money. In-car camera systems are particularly useful in these situations, thanks to the quality of the footage and the actual recording captured. This footage can be used to protect the company in scams such as these. For this issue, in particular, we have cameras designed to protect your company at all costs. In addition to scams, these systems can help in the event of theft too.
For fleet owners, in particular, these cameras can be used to monitor driver safety, as well as the bad habits they may have picked up along the way. On the road, especially for fleets, safety is of paramount importance, and there is no room for careless driving. Fleet camera systems can help owners to determine safe drivers, allowing them to address any potential risks or issues with those who may exhibit signs of reckless driving, as recorded by the dash camera.
On top of the points mentioned above, these cameras are also highly versatile and available in a range of models, to suit your exact needs. We here at Phantom have a wide range of camera systems and sensors available to choose from, meaning you can tailor your fleet systems to meet your requirements, and ensure full peace of mind at all times. These are just a few benefits of fleet camera systems. If you're interested in investing in one or more of the systems available here at https://phantom.uk.net/business to protect your fleet, please enquire today by calling us on 0161 476 4050. Alternatively, see the rest of our blog for more up-to-date news and information regarding fleets and other services.


My October goals were very modest, but I did achieve them, more or less.
Make string blocks for Kat's October block drive. Yes. And I finally mailed them.
Start the Christmas quilt. Sort of. I revised the design, and began the cutting.
Bonus: I made the lavender baby quilt.
For November, I'll be healthy, but we travel for about a week, and I should probably start my Christmas shopping, so still modest goals.
Work on Scrappy Stars Around the Corner.
Make blocks for Kat's November block drive.

Today I finished a pretty little baby quilt for a new little cousin. It was inspired by the color of her room.
I know you've seen this design before (a few times!), but I wanted to keep the pieces large to show the ribbon print fabric, so here it is in living color. I also used a piece of the new Grunge collection, which perfectly bridges the spectrum between lavender and orchid. The light fabrics are hard to see here, but they are dots and chevrons on cream.
The backing is an irridescent damask in a beautiful lavender.
I quilted this with variegated Poly Quilter from Superior. It was the perfect colors, but I have never been able to get it to sew in my machine before (I think it's 30 wt.). Maybe it was the recent tune-up, but I had little problem this time. The big size 100 needle punched visible holes in the back, but they closed up when I washed it.
Now I have to break it to Krissi that we're sending "her" quilt away. She's pretty attached.

Yes, sewing happened! It was just twelve string blocks for donation, but it used two and a half yards (they were on foundation fabric).
It's a setback to my goal of destashing fifty yards, but think what I'll be able to make with all these rich colors in my stash!
Absolutely no sewing is going on here, but I was able to order fabric! While lazing around, I conceived of a Christmas quilt using wonky stars of red and green fabric against a background of grays/neutrals (see yesterday's post).
Other than the Grunges, this fabric was on a great sale at Fabric Shack. The large piece has a larger print of faint green and gray snowflakes. It's a delicious batch of neutrals. And I think I have a related piece of gray and cream "Glisten" (the ornaments) upstairs in the Stash.
It's in the washer now, and then I'll be petting it for a while until it can star cutting.
How are you doing? I'm linking up to the Stash Report at Patchwork Times.

Vanessa Kirk gives a personal account of what it is like to be a mentor.
"I am a mentor for the National Mentoring Consortium and have come to the end of an 8 month mentoring relationship with my mentee Lena who is a 3rd year student at The Northampton University. The scheme is for ethnic minority students who are looking to raise their profile.
When I signed up for the experience, I didn't know what to expect or what I could offer a student who might potentially be studying business, architecture or maths. I signed up anyway and am so pleased I did.
The university provided training on how to be a mentor, and so the mentoring relationship began.
At our initial meeting we established Lena's goals. The main ones were to work on public speaking and build confidence.
It is normal practice to spend at least 2 hours every month with your mentee. I brought Lena into the office where she engaged with senior leaders and interviewed them as part of her dissertation. I organised a dragons den style activity for Lena to present her business idea to a panel of colleagues. We had Civil Service career conversations, I arranged mock interviews and a C.V. writing workshop. I coached Lena to give a presentation at her university.
All mentees and mentors were invited to the end of year awards ceremony at the Aon Building (Cheesgrater) in London on Thursday 3rd May.
Guest speakers included Chris Powell, Manager of Southend United Football Club. Chris spoke about the importance of thinking ahead, and how his mentor offered him the next step in his life, which was to become a coach and a manager. In order to prepare for this Chris started studying at 40 and achieved the highest coaching award.
Chris spoke about the lack of ethnic minority managers in the football world and recognises in his role, he must encourage others to stand up and be a coach.
Paul Elliot ex Chelsea Captain discussed the importance of having a mentor as role model to help with progression and the importance of taking on new knowledge but also implementing it.
Lena's confidence grew so much and she happily delivered a presentation to a room of nearly 200 people telling everyone about her experience on the scheme.
Lena said, she enjoyed learning about the work Civil Service Local do and it inspired her to apply for a position on The Civil Service Fast Steam. She said having someone believe in her, sometimes more than she believed in herself, helped her confidence grow more than she expected.
It didn't matter what Lena's degree was in, I could help her raise her employability levels. I realised mentoring is a two way relationship which also helped me and my colleagues in the workplace. As I saw Lena's development and personal growth, I realised how important it is that we support our young people into the working world."
How wonderful for Lena to have you believe in her and inspire her on her journey.
Well done for going the extra mile for the next generation!


I'm still hoping that Docawesome is going to follow up his smack talk with some contrition, or at least explanation. Perhaps tell us what master plan Belichick has to stop Miami given his defence gave up thirty points to Buffalo last week?
Belichick will just get pissed again and walk off the field. Sound familiar?
I can't remember the last time I have seen "contrition" and "smack talk" in the same sentence...much less in terms of Doc!!
Smack talk's fun and I'm certainly not averse to dishing some out, but if you're going to give it then you've got to come back and take your lumps when your team fails to deliver.
I'm going to be honest. The New England Patriots won 3 Superbowls because of 4 reasons, 3 of which float around the mainstream: Brady, Belichick, and defense. But the fourth reason is lockerroom police or real leaders. People talk about Spezza hoping he would emerge as a leader but I find it laughable. Spezza will never be the type of leader Bruschi, Harrison, Vrabel, McGinnist, Law, and Milloy were. That type of leadership I think comes with ones personality. Any team with good leaders can win a superbowl but you need the type of leadership that demands accountability and almost military-like discipline to go to the Superbowl 4 times in 6 years. The Patriots don't have that leadership anymore. As soon as the last leader retired (Bruschi) the change was very noticeable. The Patriots wiill not contend for a Superbowl let alone become another dynasty anytime soon. I just believe they can still blow out teams and win the AFC East. And I also don't respect the Jets. They are a pathetic red-headed step child that won't grow up. I didn't like the Colts for the same reason but I've come to respect them the last 4 years, unlike the Jets.
So you don't respect the Jets because they talk a lot, but you do respect a coach who has been found guilty of cheating?
Edit: and you reckon that the one of the four you've lost is leadership? Only the fact that the Patriots have given up 24, 28 and 30 points in their first three games suggests that the defence, like I told you, is not very good.
Donovan McNab got a nice ovation from the fans in Philly upon his return with the Redskins today. The 'skins are leading as I type this.
Vick got knocked out of the game in the first half. Redskins lead 17-6.
Winning in his first return to Philly must have been sweet for McNab.
How about them Chiefs being the last undefeated in the NFL?
Congrats to the Raven's on knocking off the Steelers yesterday, they made the big plays they needed to when the game was on the line.
The win by the 'Skins was bittersweet for me since I'm a longtime Eagles fan. But I like McNabb a lot and was pleased for him!
The Chiefs fans must be ecstatic! Who would have thought that they would have such a great start!!??
I can see how that would make it bittersweet.
I doubt that even the most die hard Chiefs fan would have predicted them starting 4-0. Definitely the surprise of the year.
Still confident that the Jets, 5-1 as they go into their bye week, are going to be 9-7?
Aw c'mon, Doc, you've got to try harder than that. He's a sophomore quarterback who last year went to the Championship game, and this season is 5-1. No, he's not Brady or Peyton, and he probably won't be any time soon if at all, but "not good enough to play with the big boys"? They've looked pretty good thus far. You should worry more about a defence that rode its luck and its quarterback to get another close victory today, this time against the mighty Chargers. The Jets have looked rather more convincing than the Pats for their 5-1 record this season.
Also, making stuff up won't help your cause. The Jets aren't the oldest team in the league, in fact they're nothing like it - their average age of 26.4 (a whole 0.4 above the Patriots) puts them 21st. Yes, they're still a work in progress and whilst there are some older players in the side, the core of it - Sanchez, Mangold, Revis, Greene, Cromartie, Holmes, Ferguson - have all got their best years ahead of them. And as for your last desperate statement, no-one could argue that the Pats have been a better side over the last ten years than the Jets, but in the last two seasons the record has been 1-1 and the Jets are getting better. You can't sensibly make that argument for the Patriots.
You should probably stick to talking hockey, football doesn't appear to be your forte.
Fox Sports is reporting that Favre has two fractures in his ankle after the game versus Green Bay yesterday.
Oh, for the love of god, just RETIRE!
Yes before you become a full blown "Tiger".
I didn't see the game so not really sure how the Bills managed to put 34 points on the Ravens' D, but unless Ray Lewis and gang spent the day having one massive collective brain fart, it's just possible that Buffalo might have enough offence to actually win a game.
I'm not really a football fan, and even less of a Packers fan, but I LOVED seeing the way Favre blew that game. I'm just sick of the annual "decision" saga that goes along with him. Hopefully, this will be his last season (if he even finishes it).
If there is a god, he's done.

12 events you should know about this week
<MUSIC>
James McMurtry
Kroger Fest-A-Ville @ Waterfront Park
www.jamesmcmurtry.com
Free with Pegasus Pin; 7 p.m.
James McMurtry is the kind of singer-songwriter whose life inspires movies like "Walk the Line" and "Coal Miner's Daughter." His astute observations on the human condition influence enigmatic characters like Bad Blake in last year's Oscar winner "Crazy Heart." After 10 years, eight studio albums and two live records, McMurtry's legacy is etched forever in the annals of Americana. You'll hear why when he performs as part of Kentucky Derby Festival's concert series tonight. Born and raised in Texas and the son of novelist Larry McMurtry, James has an arsenal of songs at his disposal that employ graceful language, bleak narratives and rich characters to paint a distinguished picture of America. Will Hoge joins. No coolers, cans, bottles or pets. —Brent Owen
<LECTURE>
David Ray Griffin
St. Matthews Community Center
310 Ten Pin Lane • 897-6371
Free; 7 p.m.
Take whatever you think you know about the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and quietly put it on a shelf — David Ray Griffin is in town. Griffin, a two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee and author of nearly 40 nonfiction books, will give a lecture challenging the memes and accepted truths borne from America's bad day, 9/11, specifically addressing concerns about the U.S. military's invasion of the sovereign nation of Afghanistan, which you have to admit felt good, but in retrospect, doesn't make much sense. If you can get past some of Griffin's more conspiratorial stylings, his lecture should prove eye opening, to say the least. —Jonathan Meador
<COMEDY>
April 28-May 2
Paul Strickland
Comedy Caravan
1250 Bardstown Road
www.comedycaravan.com
$8; various times
Paul Strickland is one of the most in-demand comics on the circuit today. The Nashville native, who now lives in Louisville, will be doing a rare run of local performances this weekend at Comedy Caravan. His special brand of humor isn't filled with the usual punch lines or quirky observations — but draws from his personal experiences in a more narrative style of comedy. Just wait until you hear what exactly happened to him in Balbknob, Ark. His distinctive sense of humor also is featured in "A Brighter Shade of Blue," a one-man show he hopes to perform in Louisville before taking it to national comedy festivals across the country this summer. Check out www.leoweekly.com for our full interview with Strickland. —Brent Owen
<BOOK>
'Whiskey Days'
The Rudyard Kipling
422 W. Oak St. • 636-1311
Whiskey inspires people to do many things, and writing poetry is one of them. Singing karaoke, peeing in public and hitting on bartenders are others, but we'll leave those for another time. Kentuckian Tommy Gaffney is returning home Thursday for a reading and signing of "Whiskey Days," a collection of poetry. Gaffney now resides in Portland, Ore., and "Whiskey Days" is a follow-up to his first release, "Three Beers from Oblivion." The poems bridge the distance between his old roots in Kentucky and his new home in hipster-heaven Portland.
Joining Gaffney's reading are friends Ron Whitehead, Tyrone Cotton, Michael Guimond and Jonathan Treadway. I assume there will be a healthy river of bourbon flowing. —Sara Havens
<BENEFIT>
Jamnesty 4
Temple Klein Center
5101 Hwy. 42 • 599-3989
$10 donation; 7 p.m.
In a week marked by excess, fashion and competition, it's probably wise to keep larger injustices in mind: Suffering, poverty and discrimination are foes that Amnesty International's Demand Dignity Campaign seeks to wrestle to the ground. For the fourth straight year, the students in Amnesty's chapter at DuPont Manual High School will collect donations for the campaign while filling your gullet with local fare. Piano wiz Harry Pickens, folkie John Gage and high school bands Beady, The Great Scots, The Augmented Five and Matt Clemons are the night's earworms. —Mat Herron
Unknown Hinson
Jim Porter's Good Time Emporium
2345 Lexington Road • 452-9531
www.jimporters.com
$15; 8 p.m.
He's back. Once again, on the eve of Derby weekend, the King of the Country-Western Troubadours takes over Jim Porter's and turns it into his own personal honky-tonk hell on earth. Did you know this guy used to be a circus freak/carnival barker? He also wrote most of his chart-topping hits in prison, won't drink anything but party liquor and makes lightning come out of a guitar when he sets his mind to picking one. Seriously, even Chuck Norris is scared of this guy. But when Unknown (who also provides the voice for Early Cuyler on the animated show "Squidbillies") serenades women with the sweet strains of "Stalking the Wild She-Beast" and "Undead Blues," they'll know they've been got. And your lady might just be one of them. Dallas Alice opens (assuming the King gives them permission to do so). —Kevin Gibson

April 29-May 29
'Women of the Alhambra'
Graciela Perrone Art Gallery
2214 Frankfort Ave.
www.gracielaperrone.com
April 29 Reception: Free; 6-9 p.m.
The Alhambra is a palace in Granada, Spain, that was built in the mid-14th century by Moorish rulers. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions and acts as a museum of Islamic architecture. Artist, dancer and gallery owner Graciela Perrone was inspired by the Alhambra and wanted to paint a series that depicted the women of the ancient palace, including flamenco dancers Brenna O'Hara and Juliana Bravo.
"I have been working on a project for more than two years and decided to paint part of it," Perrone says. "I present some of the characters of the story in this exhibit, painting visions I never painted before."
Joining Perrone's show are Carlos Gamez de Francisco and Victor Manuel Velazquez. There will be an opening reception Thursday night featuring flamenco dancing and more. —Sara Havens
'Louisville's Butchertown'
Kaviar Forge & Gallery
1718 Frankfort Ave. • 561-0377
www.kaviargallery.com
Free; 6-9 p.m.
When someone says Butchertown and the first thing you think of is "it smells," then you definitely need to read Edna Kubala's new book "Louisville's Butchertown," a work inspired by this unique corner of Louisville.
"During the 1960s, Butchertown was a blighted neighborhood with a small group of residents fighting to keep houses from being demolished." Kubala says. "It's a neighborhood that has an extremely diverse socioeconomic group of people in it. Now, as a result of those dedicated people, it's a vibrant neighborhood, is on the National Register of Historic Places, and has a book about it."
You can buy "Louisville's Butchertown" at Kaviar Gallery, plus get the book signed during the F.A.T. Friday "Derby Hop." —Jo Anne Triplett
Drop The Lime
East Campbell Street Warehouse
Corner of Main and Campbell
www.dropthelime.com
$10; 11 p.m.
New York-based producer/DJ/label owner Luca Venezia, aka Drop The Lime, is a leading authority on the bass-music scene. He incorporates elements of dub, drum 'n' bass and techno into original compositions he tops off with live singing. Raised on the early rock 'n' roll of Chet Atkins and Roy Orbison, the 23-year-old Sicilian fell for dance beats after going to his first rave. He took his name from an old proverb: If you pick up a lime and it stays green, you will have good fortune. Noise Floor Crew from Chicago also perform, as do locals Modest Haus, Lady Carol and OK Deejays. —Mat Herron
<DERBY>
Down & Derby
Louisville Water Tower
www.louisvilledownandderby.com
$30; 8 p.m.-4 a.m.
Down & Derby brings a whole new meaning to the lyrics of our state song: The sun shines bright in My Old Kentucky Home, 'Tis summer, the people are gay. We're talking drag queens: Meet Victoria "Porkchop" Parker, who got her start at The Connection and went on to appear on "RuPaul's Drag Race." We're talking about getting served: The Derby City Roller Girls put the "tail" in cocktail waitress. And, of course, there will be dancing. Los Angeles' The Perry Twins will be sure to get you shakin' your booty on the dance floor. And the best part is, all proceeds go to the WINGS Clinic and The Louisville AIDS Walk, both of which benefit individuals in our community with HIV/AIDS. The party is open to everyone who wishes to attend, but, just so you know, it's gonna be real gay. —Pam Swisher
Concert to Aid Haiti
St. Patrick Catholic Church
1000 N. Beckley Station Road • 472-3057

Through May 8
'Reid Norris: Revealing the Geography'
Gallery M
Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center
1860 Mellwood Ave. • 895-3650
www.mellwoodartcenter.com
"Revealing the Geography" is Reid Norris' exhibition of oil and watercolor paintings in Mellwood's new gallery, Gallery M. He specializes in works that combine Midwestern stories with Indian mythologies.
"The narrative of the Midwest, particularly in my lifetime, is one of disenchantment and decline, of stagnant industry, of leaving and losing," Norris says. "On the contrary, Indian art is overwhelmed with the divine; Brahman, which is not often overtly represented but instead is channeled into knowable forms, personified by the gods and their regular interaction with everyday life. The question I am posing about the Midwest is, 'What are the knowable forms of our gods?'" —Jo Anne Triplett

A testimony about pre-eclampsia, a condition that affects some pregnant women during the 2nd half of their pregnancy or after their baby is delivered.
My second child Tommy was a premature baby. Not incredibly so – he wasn't a teeny tiny tubed baby. But he is proof that being born any amount early is too early.
With the brain, the pregnant uterus is one of the only remaining organs where there is scientific disagreement on how they actually work. Why?
Nutrition before and during pregnancy can have a real impact on preterm birth. We speak to AnnieBelle, PhD student at Borne, about her work.
We borrowed Professor Mark Johnson to ask him why he decided to found Borne and focus his research on premature birth.


French composer Sylvain Carel's music is an expertly crafted blend of contemporary, instrumental electronic music with strong ethnic influences without ever becoming 'world music'. Combining synths, guitar and various other acoustic instruments, rhythms and vocal textures, the music is an extraordinarily captivating and varied soundtrack style.
Sylvian grew up on the music Van der Graaf Generator, King Crimson, Amon Duul, Tangerine Dream and Vangelis as well as the classics, in particular Dvorak, Ravel and Holtz. It was little surprise then that after a brief flirtation with rock music in his early 20's, and 5 years studio work writing music for singers and producers, Sylvain's musical path lead him into creating movie soundtracks and evocative landscape style music using an ARP synth and his beloved Stratocaster.
Later, Sylvain took time out to work with MAO and study composition, harmony and computer music. He built his own studio, reinvented his sound and style with new synths and set about creating his debut album. During this time, he visited North Africa, The Red Sea, The Middle East, India and Nepal, soaking up the the feel of these mystic, captivating and magnetic countries as influences in his music. The resulting instrumental music is clearly imbued with an underlying pulse of ethnic colours and atmospheres.
This music gets you into warm foreign regions, with ambient, slightly melodic tracks.
Stunning debut from French composer Sylvain Carel. This is contemporary electronic soundtrack style music of the highest quality. Varied in tempo and style, the 22 interlinked tracks present a glorious kaleidoscope of moods with occasional ethnic influences provided by subtle and at times stunningly beautiful vocal textures.
Sylvain plays synths and occasional electric guitar and presents some truly inspirational and wonderful cinematic themes and textures that lift this extraordinary musical journey far above the norm. This is evocative, landscape style film music to be savoured as it becomes your own personal soundtrack for the mind. Take the journey........ you wont be disappointed!
Another excellent album from French composer Sylvain Carel. As with his previous outings, 'Heritage' is highly evocative, touching on various cultures, in particular the exotic and beautiful east, while never becoming 'world music'. There is a soothing quality with great synth and orchestral passages, beautiful vocal textures and acoustic additions with uptempo moments that are full of rhythmic punch! 'Heritage' is funded by the artist himself through AD Music. It's a very focused effort, and will clearly appeal to fans of melodic instrumental music, whether it be electronic, new age or space music.
Another stunning musical odyssey from french maestro Sylvain Carel. The music is a wonderful fusion of styles, from Vangelis and Tangerine Dream inspired to ethnic influenced electronica, but with its own unique identity. It's astonishing that this talented composer isn't more widely known – Sylvain Carel is producing stunning music that crosses contemporary genres and it would surely have wide appeal if more people were to hear it. The ten tracks on Semiramis are varied, expertly crafted and beautifully played. They link together to present a satisfying journey, incorporating strong rhythms and sequences with some terrific themes. Vocal textures give an occasional evocative eastern flavour but these cultural overtones never venture into world music territory. Indeed, the music remains firmly in the realms of rock based sequenced electronica. Semiramis is a classy album of real depth and emotion with top notch production values and is highly recommended to fans of melodic EM.
Another beautiful offering from French composer Sylvain Carel. As with previous releases, Sylvain presents contemporary electronic soundtrack style music of the highest quality. However, 'Salammbo' presents a far more chilled, laid back excursion into Kitaro'esq territory, with delicate themes and melodies gently caressing the senses. This really is inspirational and wonderfully evocative, gently drifting journey style music to be savoured! Undoubtably his most accomplished work to date!
Talisman is another stunning musical odyssey from French maestro Sylvain Carel. It is engrossing, moody, very atmospheric and cleverly covers new age, electronic and world music styles while always retaining Sylvain's unique style that never actually places itself in any one genre. If anything, the music retains a cinematic soundtrack feel, wide in scope, evocative and full of ideas that take the listener on a journey to…well… wherever the listener choses to go.
The music is clearly influenced by 80's Tangerine Dream along with echoes of Kitaro and Vangelis. The album is also delicately laced with gorgeous ethnic influences that give the album a really classy vibe. Sylvain's music has always been very 'soundtrack' influenced and 'Talisman' is no exception. However this is a more focused offering, gently drifting through a series of varied rhythmic soundscapes to complete a very satisfying musical journey. Probably his best work to date.
An extraordinary musical journey and an excellent 'Soundtrack for the mind' album that takes you to places real and imagined through a series of beautiful and haunting themes. The music is highly evocative and touches on various cultures from the American Plains Indians to the east and the orient while also retaining a coherent, cosmic other-worldliness.
