Glossary of Terms & Acronyms
Collaborations and Partnerships:
Building on the collaboration definition above, for purposes of the RMATRIX grant, a partnership typically occurs at the institutional level and can be defined as a "formal" partnership with two or more institutions, organizations, or agencies (academic and non-academic organizations) working together toward a shared goal. Examples of a "formal" partnership include a developed Memorandum of Understanding or Agreement, contract or other agreement between institutions, organizations, or agencies.
Community Engaged Research (CEnR):
Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR):
Cultural and Linguistic Competency:
Health Disparate Population (Priority Populations):
RMATRIX resource priority is provided to health disparity studies that address Native Hawaiians, especially those living on or seeking care on the island of Oahu. Pacific Islanders (e.g., Samoan, Tongan, Chuukese, and Marshallese) share many of the same adverse health outcomes as Native Hawaiians and thus serve as a secondary population priority. Additionally, because health disparities among Filipinos more closely resemble those of Native Hawaiians than Asians, we have included Filipinos in the Other Pacific Islander population. This grouping is consistent with approach taken by the Center for Native and Pacific Health Disparities Research (CNPHDR) at the University of Hawaii. Other health disparate populations are incorporated within RMATRIX projects where they strengthen the science of the project or where they foster development of health disparities infrastructure and partnerships that will benefit the Priority Populations in subsequent studies.
For more information about translational research, see our page entitled About Translational Research
HEALTH Initiatives:
It should be emphasized that the investigators must achieve a balance in this application of a specific health focus, as the broader goal of RMATRIX is to develop overall health disparities research infrastructure (including the training of scientists) at UH and not specifically to reduce health disparities in these two disease focus areas. Indeed, given the great need for health disparities researchers in Hawaii, collaboration and synergy across several disease focus areas is an essential strategy for developing a critical mass of investigators.
Pilot Project Investigator:
Priority Communities:
Hence, the community primarily served specifically by RMATRIX is the community of investigators who either are currently performing health disparities research in conjunction with the Priority Populations -- whether within the Priority Population neighborhoods (e.g., CNPHDR), through hospital and clinic partnerships, or via analysis of existing data sets and repository materials. A specific goal of RMATRIX is to develop a critical mass of health disparities scientists, mentors, and collaborators/partners in Hawaii across these venues. Many of the investigators are internal to UH and affiliated with other infrastructure grants (e.g., BRIDGES, INBRE, COBREs, SNRP, etc.) or represent (external to UH) community hospital or community health center based investigators. It is this diverse, but similarly committed community of investigators to which RMATRIX resources are applied.
Translational Science:
First, basic science research must be translated to humans (the so-called T1 translation), and then secondarily translated into clinical practice (T2 translation) (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov). Further work has demonstrated that in fact this second phase of translation includes two separate steps, first knowledge from T1 translational studies must be translated to patients (T2), and then we must translate our knowledge into actual clinical practice (T3 translation) (Westfall et al. 2007)... Merely translating findings to the actual bedside, however, is not enough. Moving scientific knowledge into the public sector and thereby changing people's everyday lives represents a major challenge (T4).
Thus, translational research is the process by which research findings are moved from the scientist's bench to the patient's bedside and on into community. Translational research is bidirectional in that observations in the community and at the bedside also inform the scientist at the bench and in the clinic. Under this paradigm, T1 research, including phase 1 and 2 clinical trials, translates basic science research knowledge to humans. T2 research translates knowledge gained from observational and phase 3 clinical trials to patients, and T3 research extends this knowledge into actual clinical practice. T4 translation is particularly relevant for knowledge that needs to be disseminated and applied to the general population. For example, interventions that reduce smoking and obesity rates may be effectively integrated into clinical practice through T3 research, but may dramatically improve public health when translated more broadly to the community through T4 research often involving the social sciences.
The RMATRIX grant interfaces with other infrastructure grants to facilitate translational research at UH and into the community. RMATRIX enhances T1 translational research by support of basic science investigators affiliated with BRIDGES, INBRE, COBREs, SNRP, etc. as they interface with clinical researchers (e.g., pilot project support, mentoring, and KF services to facilitate clinical research). RMATRIX enhances T2/T3 translational research by mentoring/educating clinical researchers and by providing KF services to investigators working with RMATRIX priority populations on health disparities translational research (e.g., CNPHDR and community health centers). RMATRIX enhances T4 translational research by working with population scientists and supporting grass-roots investigator infrastructure needs, especially by those investigators directly working with the RMATRIX priority populations on health disparities translational research.

Middleboro's Jesse Heikkila, who died of cancer Thursday at age 7, had an entire town as his support system.
MIDDLEBORO – Jesse Heikkila just wanted to come home and play Legos with his brother. See his puppy. Be a regular boy.That's all he and his family ever wanted – to be whole, together, away from the hospital and home in Middleboro.
It's also what Jesse deserved, having coped with cancer for much of his life and endured what no child should ever have to face.
So two weeks ago, with a police escort prepared to bring him from Boston, and dozens waiting – yellow balloons in hand – to greet him, Jesse's family planned the hard-fought homecoming to Middleboro.
But once again, the illness intervened. Jesse, a bright-eyed 7-year-old who has become a fixture in the hearts and hearths of people near and far, died Thursday night at Children's Hospital in Boston.
But his story, surely, will live on, for it is one of courage, compassion and community – and of a little boy who didn't realize just how big he had become. Amid the tragedy of his loss, there is triumph of the spirit.
There is, first, the caring of a community, which bonded and banded together as perhaps only a New England town can. There is also the commitment and kindness of friends and neighbors, who followed Jesse through this fight, felt his pain, and lent support any way they could.
Heartfelt examples abound of the area's outpouring for a family on the edge, and for parents that had to sell and sacrifice everything to try and save their son.
Oil companies, without ever seeking acknowledgement, began donating fuel to the family. Friends of Suzanne and Jeff Heikkila, to help the parents worn from countless stays at Boston hospitals, began showing up with food, blankets, or just a warm embrace.
Children in town launched campaigns to fight childhood cancer. They sold lemonade at farmer's markets, hung posters, wrote stories of their friend. Meanwhile, anonymous benefactors walked into the local electric company and Town Hall to pay the Heikkila's bills.
From around the country, strangers moved by Suzanne's heartfelt, online updates reached out, sharing not just resources, but something much stronger – their own stories of survival. One Houston-based company was so touched, it came and built the family a custom pool.
But mostly, in the end, there is the story of the immeasurable and unmatched power of a mother's love.
Suzanne Heikkila had to endure the horror of watching her child grow sick, suffer and finally succumb to cancer. But throughout, she proved an enduring symbol of hope, an inspirational beacon of parenthood, and a light for all stuck in the sometimes endless darkness of childhood cancer.
Suzanne, a symbol of grace, refused to concede her role – and refused to ever stop smiling. She refused, even for a moment, to stop being what she was always meant to be – a mom.
She didn't just unite the family, but started Web conversations, began tireless research of childhood cancer, and became an advocate and a friend for all facing the disease.
As she studied the sickness, she was shocked by what she learned – that it had been several years since a new childhood cancer drug had been introduced, and that an alarming number of children in the U.S. died each day from it. And she plans on changing that.
"Nationally, seven kids are quietly dying every minute," she once said. "Children are dying every day and it doesn't even make the evening news. There's no outcry."
Thanks to her bravery, there will be – starting with Jesse's story.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - Never fear, Tiger fans. Ye Olde Skull, the slightly macabre trophy awarded to the winner of the Ohio Wesleyan/Wittenberg football game, will spend another year with the Tigers after a dominating 55-17 victory.
Wittenberg rolled up 634 yards of total offense while holding the top passing attack in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) to 17 points - none after halftime - on a day when nearly 50 former team captains were honored at halftime. In the process, the Tigers kept pace with Wabash atop the NCAC at 7-0, setting a first-place showdown on the Little Giants home field on Saturday, Nov. 9.
The Tigers head into the game at Wabash with plenty of momentum after topping the 50-point plateau for the third time in the 2013 season. And Wittenberg will hit the road with a signal caller who continues to set new standards for Tiger quarterbacks.
Senior Reed Florence (South Charleston, Ohio/Southeastern) put together one of his finest performances in the Red & White. He completed 23 of 29 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns, the last of which gave him 62 career passing scores, one more than National College Football Hall of Fame inductee Charlie Green accumulated between 1962 and 1964.
Florence added 62 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, bringing his record-setting career total to 83 scores (rushing and passing combined). He was one of three ball-carriers to enjoy great success against the Battling Bishops as Wittenberg piled up 287 yards rushing on 43 carries.
Sophomore running back Sean Gary (Indianapolis, Ind./Decatur Central) led the rushing attack with 22 carries for 131 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore tailback Jimmy Dehnke (Canton, Ohio/Massillon Jackson) added eight carries for 88 yards and two scores, including a hard-earned 45-yard score on the Tigers' first play from scrimmage in the second half.
Through the air, Florence completed passes to seven different receivers in the game, with his favorite target being senior wideout Brendon Cunningham (Kettering, Ohio/Fairmont). Cunningham hauled in six passes for 158 yards and the Tigers' first touchdown of the day, a tremendous 36-yard catch-and-run in which he dragged multiple OWU defenders the last five yards to paydirt.
While Wittenberg's offense grabbed the headlines, it was an outstanding defensive performance that set the stage for the lopsided victory, starting with a first-quarter stand after a bad punt. OWU had first-and-goal from 10-yard-line but had to settle for a field goal.
Senior linebacker Evan Killilea (Columbus, Ohio/DeSales) led the Tiger defense with 12 tackles, including 2.5 for loss and 1.5 sacks. Senior linebacker Spencer Leno (Massillon, Ohio/Washington) added 12 tackles.

Where do I begin??? Patti's Review Of InStyle Event Planning Services San Diego
Where do I begin???……. I had absolutely NO plans to hire a wedding coordinator. What was I thinking?? From the very first phone call with Shellie, she had me hooked!! I could not have pulled off the most beautiful and amazing wedding for my only daughter without her.
Shellie returned every email and phone call within a reasonable time. Shellie helped me tremendously with major aspects of the wedding, she definitely has an eye to detail and her EXCELLENT and strong interpersonal skills made the day of my daughter's wedding, a day for me to just sit back and enjoy.
Shellie and her assistant Lacy oversaw EVERY detail and ensured that everything went smoothly and it most certainly did! Shellie even made sure that my grandson had milk at the wedding! Who does that….?! Shellie and Lacy are an excellent team and were such a pleasure to have at the wedding, while I was totally enjoying my daughter's wedding, they quietly worked behind the scenes and help me give my daughter, her perfect wedding!
Shellie and Lacy was the best investment I made out of the entire wedding. Worth every penny!!!!!
Thank you both so much!!! ~Patti F 6/8/12

Goransson On Top At 2013 Melges 32 World Championship In Porto Rotondo After Only One Race
19 September 2013
Porto Rotondo, Italy - After only one race, the 2013 Melges 32 World Championship hosted by the Yacht Club Porto Rotondo (YCPR) in coordination with Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS), B.Plan Sports & Events (BPSE) and Melges Europe, looks to International Class Vice Chairman Richard Goransson and tactician Hamish Pepper aboard Helly Hansen Inga From Sweden for overall event leadership. Following in second place is Andrea Pozzi's Bombarda Racing with Lorenzo Bressani calling tactics, then Filippo Pacinotti on Brontolo HH with tactician Nathan Wilmot in third.
"We've been training quite a bit, working hard to improve since the last World Championship in Newport. It was our first event." commented Goransson. "Obviously we are quite happy with where we are at in the standings after today, but there is still a lot of racing yet to be completed. Tonight we will just try and take it kind of easy. We'll have a nice dinner, watch some AC racing, then come back out tomorrow and try to do our best again."
Needless to say the only heat of the day was nothing short of spectacular as the extreme conditions put competitors on high alert for a great race. An all clear start lead to several teams launching off the line with speed, Pozzi included. He came on very strong at the first mark with Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino right behind and Pacinotti in third. Pozzi held the lead all the way around the track, with Goransson improving his position at every turn. On the final run, Pozzi set the spinnaker with confidence and blasted downwind to the finish with Goransson following closely. Just before crossing the line, Pozzi and team had trouble with the spinnaker, losing the race to Goransson as he sailed right by with no problem. Pozzi still managed a second place finish, while Pacinotti finished a solid third.
"Today was a good day," said Pozzi post racing. "I am happiest and feel we do better when there is more breeze. If you recall, I won the last race of the last World Championship in similar conditions so, this is an attempt to continue to be strong and race well."
As expected, the breeze built throughout Race One and prior to starting Race Two, it quickly exceeded the class maximum wind speed. Knowing that it would not be immediate, PRO Hank Stuart sent the teams ashore to wait in hopes it would diminish enough in the afternoon enabling at least one more race. After more than a couple of hours, Stuart announced that conditions looked promising, sending the fleet afloat around three-forty-five in the afternoon with a warning scheduled for five o'clock.
Shortly thereafter, the conditions grew more intense preventing any further racing on Thursday. Some under jib only, others under tow, teams made their way back to the dock in the 30+ knot breeze.
2011 Audi Melges 20 Gold Cup Champion and reigning Audi Sailing Series champion Alessandro Rombelli aboard Azimut by STIG delivered a stunning first day performance to finish fourth. American Jason Carroll and his ARGO team round out the top five.

Oct. 13, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT's water polo squad began Thursday night with a small ceremony to celebrate the careers of its seniors who were playing their final match in the Zesiger Center pool, but it was Brown which was celebrating at the end of the night after coming away with an 11-5 victory. The loss concludes the Engineers' regular season, leaving the young team with an 8-14 overall record and a 3-4 mark in the Collegiate Water Polo Association Northern Division.
The Bears (11-6, 2-0) pounced on Tech early, scoring the first six goals of the game to put the Cardinal and Gray in a hole that they couldn't escape.
The Engineers certainly didn't give in despite the early deficit, however, playing Brown even at five goals apiece through the final three quarters. Freshman Mark Artz led the way for MIT, tallying three goals to bring his total to 29 on the season. Sophomore Palmer Rosemond and senior David Dryjanski provided the rest of Tech's offensive output, each recording one goal.
MIT had a number of other scoring opportunities, but a suffocating Brown defense kept the Engineers at bay.
"Brown was all over us from the start and we couldn't score goals," said head coach Felix Mercado. "I felt that every time we got a good shot off it was blocked and they countered us off of it. We were chasing them all game," he added.
Nick Souza and Rob Truax each played a half in net for Tech, with each recording four saves. Kent Holland made eight stops for Brown in earning the victory.
The Engineers have a week to recuperate before heading to Erie, Pa. for the Division III Eastern Championship on Saturday, Oct. 21, and Sunday, Oct. 22.

As he prepared to unveil the seventh-generation Corvette this weekend — an event akin to the naming of a new pope in the sports-car world — General Motors executive Mark Reuss told a story familiar to legions of Corvette faithful over six decades of production.
Reuss coveted the car as a teenager, back when the 'Vette versus Porsche debate ignited the same fury as disco versus rock. He bought one in his 20s, a used silver 1969 model with a big-block 427 engine, and took his future wife on their first date. Then he married and sold the two-seater to make room for a family.
Such nostalgia is pervasive among Corvette buyers. The car's heritage means even more to GM as it attempts to rebound from the bailout-and-bankruptcy era.
PHOTOS: Six generations of the Corvette
In a once-a-decade event, Chevrolet will unveil the redesigned 2014 Corvette on Sunday night at a preview to next week's North American International Auto Show in Detroit. As with every 'Vette since 1953, the new model will serve as the standard bearer of the brand's engineering, a laboratory for technology that trickles down to mainstream models. The dynamic extends to marketing, as the Corvette embodies the soul of the brand, the aspirational "halo" car that GM hopes will rub off on perceptions of its entire lineup.

The DSC-TX9 features a 12.2 megapixel ?Exmor R? CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera?s Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition, the combined ?Exmor R? CMOS sensor and BIONZ image processor delivers extremely fast 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080i movie modes9.
- 1080i AVCHD Movie Mode
Record movies in 1080i AVCHD /MP4 high definition at 60i. With HDMI connectivity you may enjoy instant playback on compatible HDTV or LCD of the camera. The AVCHD format captures a high degree of detail and smooth movement, and when footage is burned to disc, can be played back on Blu-ray Disc players, Sony PlayStation3 systems and compatible PCs and HDTVs. The convenience Movie start/stop icon makes it easy to access this mode via dedicated movie start/stop button.
- 3.5? Xtra Fine LCD touch screen display1 w/TruBlack technology
A large 3.5? Xtra Fine LCD touch screen display1 w/TruBlack technology (921K pixels), the largest of Sony?s Cyber-shot DSC line makes it easy for viewing and sharing images with simple and fun touch screen operation. With its Ultra AR film coating, which reduces reflections and increases contrast and brightness, viewing images on the LCD even in bright light is possible.
- Superior Auto mode
Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology.
- Background Defocus
DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis on your subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background while keeping your subject crisp and clear.
- High speed shooting
The DSC-TX9 can capture full 10.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that you capture the decisive moment such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In addition, the DSC-TX9 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
- Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens with 25mm equivalent wide 4x Optical Zoom
The high-performance Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 4x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for video recording as well as for outdoor, sports, and travel photos, and Close Focus shoots close-ups up to just under ?? from the subject. A wide angle of 25mm equivalent wide-angle lens allows you to take wider shots of the scene or group in crowded spaces.
- HDMI output
The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams. HDMI connects digital audio/video sources such as a compatible camcorder, Blu-ray Disc player, a personal computer, a video game console, or an AV receiver to a compatible digital audio device and/or video monitor such as a digital television (DTV).
- Soft Skin mode
Your portrait subjects will thank you for this. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot.
- Tracking Focus
Keep even fast-moving subjects in precise focus. Just touch on your subject in the LCD monitor and the camera will keep focus even as the subject moves closer or further away.
- Natural Flash
Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for far more lifelike images
- Sweep Multi Angle
In Sweep Multi Angle mode the camera takes 15 images at different angles as you sweep across the scene. By tilting the camera during playback, the camera?s Gyro Sensor detects motion and displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera?s LCD.
- Anti-Motion Blur Mode
Capture cleaner and sharper images in low light for non landscape shots. When set in Anti-motion Blur Mode, the DSC-TX9 captures six images in a fraction of a second with higher shutter speed and combines the data from all six to create a single image of extraordinary detail and dramatically reduce subject blur, beyond the capability of traditional cameras.
- Hand held Twilight
Capture cleaner and sharper night shots without using a tripod. When set to Hand held Twilight Mode, the DSC-TX9 captures six images in a fraction of a second with one press of the shutter, and combines the data from all six to create a single image of extraordinary detail and low noise. With these modes, you can capture images in low light, without flash, beyond the capability of traditional cameras.
- Backlight Correction HDR
Shooting high-contrast scenes can often lead to washed out backgrounds and/or details lost in shadow. Backlight Correction HDR helps correct for this by taking two pictures at different exposure settings and processing the best elements of both into a single image for more natural looking shots.
- TransferJet technology
TransferJet technology, developed by Sony and advanced and promoted by consortium of 18 other companies, allows you to transfer files between two TransferJet enabled devices just by touching them together, without the hassle of hunting for cables or the complication of pairing11 .
- High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200)
High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to seven ISO settings (Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to your shooting conditions.
- Self-Portrait Timer
Self-Portrait Timer helps take the guesswork out of self portraits by utilizing Face Detection technology to recognize when your face enters the frame. Once the camera detects your face, it triggers a 2-second timer, and then snaps a picture.
- Stylish Ultra-slim Design
Measuring at just 3 7/8" x 2 3/8" x 23/32", the DSC-TX9 is slim enough to slip into a pocket or purse, so you can take it with you wherever you go.
- Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode
Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you, recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, and faces, and adjusts settings resulting in clearer images, faces with more natural skin tone, and less blur. By incorporating advanced features such as Intelligent Scene Recognition, Face Detection technology, and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, iAuto mode lets you take advantage of the latest Sony Cyber-shot technology without leaving auto mode. Whether you?re shooting landscapes, capturing a beautiful flower, or taking pictures at an in-door birthday party or wedding shower, iAuto mode will optimize your camera?s settings to help ensure you come away with a great shot.
- Scene modes
The DSC-TX9 features 13 convenient scene modes: High Sensitivity / Twilight / Twilight Portrait / Soft Snap / Landscape / Beach / Snow / Fireworks / High Speed Shutter / Underwater / Gourmet / Pet / Soft Skin.
- Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode
Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects nine different types of scenes and, within just 1/30th of a second, selects the appropriate camera settings: Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Twilight using a tripod, Portrait, Landscape, Macro, and Close Focus. iSCN has two modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings and, if in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with another optimized setting so you can choose which to keep.
- Optical SteadyShot image stabilization
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality.
- Easy Touch Screen Interaction
The DSC-TX9 offers intuitive functions to the multi-purpose touch screen, such as the ability to select the focus point with a simple touch, scroll through images by sliding your finger across the screen and one-touch access to the MENU. The display also features improved readability with list view and index view.
- DVDirect DVD recorder Compatible
With AVCHD capabilities the DSC-TX9 is compatible with the select DVDirect DVD recorders, allowing playback of high definition footage. Simply connect your camera to the DVDirect to burn a Blu-ray Disc for playback of your HD movies on a compatible Blu-ray Disc player. (Recorder and media sold separately)
- HD MP4 Movie Mode
In 1080p MP4 movie mode the camera shoots 1440x1080 high definition movies at 30 fps, which is the format when working with a PC. Users will create high quality movies with full use of optical zoom in their Cyber-shot DSCs in files small enough to transfer to compatible PC or Mac. Once transferred to your computer you can effortlessly upload your media to popular photo and video-sharing websites such as Photobucket and YouTubeTM and Dailymotion. (Compatible computer with internet capability required)

- Face Detection technology
Sony?s Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
- Motion Detection
Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.
- Smile Shutter technology
Smile Shutter technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can be used together with Smile Shutter mode. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
- Anti-blink Function
It?s frustrating to think you?ve captured that perfect shot, only to review it later and discover one of your subjects blinked just as you pressed the shutter. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot.
- Intelligent AF
Thanks to Intelligent AF technology, capture fleeting moments like a child?s adorable expression with the ultra-quick AF which locks focus in as little as 0.3-sec.
PHOTOMUSIC combines images with music (4 tracks, 5 minutes per track) to produce fun and entertaining slide shows with standard visual effects (Simple, Nostalgic, Active, and Stylish). Select from pre-loaded tracks on the camera or transfer your own from your compatible computer (sold separately).

- BIONZ Image Processor

The Federal Reserve's policy of keeping interest rates low may be serving its purpose of spurring economic growth, but it's also caused some uneasiness for those nearing retirement and wondering about the safety of their retirement assets.
Loath to jump back into U.S. equities for fear of being burned twice, and relatively late in life, many of these investors are seeking new ways to shore up their portfolio and gain income.
It may seem counterintuitive to be "leaving" U.S. assets for emerging markets as a way to gain investment comfort, but fund managers are finding that emerging market stock and bond funds are a destination of choice for more U.S. fund investors.

"In Remembrance of the teahouses"
Ding Cong was a famous cartoonist and illustrator, born in Shanghai. Desiring an easier life for his son, his father, well-known cartoonist Ding Song, refused to teach him to draw. Ding Cong became a professional cartoonist anyhow. Once he started publishing cartoons at the age of 17, he never stopped creating. His cartoons have brought him fame as one of the best cartoonists in China. In addition to his single cartoons, Cong's best-known cartoon series includes a comic called 'Reflection of the Society'.
Besides his drawings of fiction figures from the novels of writers such as Lu Xun (1881-1936) and Lao She (1899-1966), Ding has also contributed a column to Dushu (Reading) magazine. He had worked as an editor, stage designer and art teacher in China and Hong Kong during the country's war against Japan from 1937 to 1945. During his more than 60-year career in cartooning, Ding Cong has drawn cartoons, illustrated stories and designed for many different publications. He died in Beijing in 2009, aged 93.

Subsequent descendants were born in Market Lavington and moved to Briton Ferry, Cardiff, Swansea, Glamorgan, Neath/Cricklade, Fareham, Alverstoke, Southampton/Devizes, Salisbury, Trowbridge/Barton Regis, Bath/Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, Poplar.
SPITTLE, Buckinghamshire/Harmondsworth/London
I would love to hear from anyone researching Spittle in the above areas. My earliest ancestors are William Spittle b about 1760 who married Sarah Rolph 1779 St Mary`s, Ealing. I understand that family members moved to New Zealand, Australia and Canada (Lillian nee Spittle Pool). I have quite a large family tree.
CROYDON/CROYDEN FAMILY from Burliscombe, Devon/London
I have been researching my Croydon family who were from Burliscombe, Devon/Wellington, Somerset. I have a tree from the late 1700s. My family moved to Bath, then to London around 1870s. Most were sawyers/carpenters. Some of the family moved to Exeter and Wales. One lived in Sampford Arundel near Burliscombe. I would love to hear from others who think there may be a connection with their family.

March 20, 2009
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Junior Rastislav Racz earned the fifth individual All-American honor of his career and third in as many tries in the 100 breast to highlight MIT's effort on the third day of the 2009 NCAA Men's Swimming and Diving Championships. With one day left in the competition, the No. 11 Engineers sit seventh overall in the team standings.
Racz grabbed third overall in what was easily the fastest championship final in the history of the event. Paul Buyanov of Staten Island set a national record with a winning time of 54.27, while Racz split an Institute and NEWMAC open record 54.80. Nelson Westby of St. Olaf finished second in 54.48. Racz led at the mid-way point of the race with an opening split of 25.48.
The Engineers also dented the scoreboard with a 13th-place finish in the 800 free relay. In another historically fast race, MIT smashed the NEWMAC open and Institute records by nearly three seconds. Laurent Charpentier led-off with a time of 1:40.69; Luke Cummings split 1:43.63; Michael Dobson followed in 1:40.75; and Peter Wellings brought it home with a clip of 1:42.20.
In the only other action of the day, freshman Tim Stumbaugh swam 51.92 in the 100 back during prelims but missed out on qualifying for the evening races.

88 ProStar Rear Seat Rebuild
I had two goals with this project: re-build the 25 year old rear seat and create more storage space in the boat. This generation ProStar is sorely lacking in space. Yes, there's storage in the closed bow, but it's cramped and difficult to access. For a family with two young boys, such limited storage is not acceptable.
The original seat was in rough shape. I didn't take a picture of the cushion before I began, but the vinyl was cracked, split, torn and generally falling apart. The foam in the base was pretty well thrashed as well.
The Styrofoam base had some holes in it and the wood core was rotting. I wasn't too concerned as I was going to be discarding this section of the seat.
Chalk line to mark the cut. I just used a jigsaw to cut the foam. Went smoothly. The chalk is about 6 inches from the bottom of the base.
The point of no return...
Cutting the base off, I lost a lot of structural integrity to the back and sides. I was able to recover most of it by cutting a 'U' out of 3/8" plywood. I used Liquid Nails and 1/4" dowels to glue and pin the plywood to the seat back.
I know it looks bad, and I would have preferred to buy new skins, but that wasn't in the budget. I started cutting down the seat cover and reattached it to the seat back. It looks pretty rough in this picture, but once the seat is in position, you can't really tell.
Completed seat back. A wrinkle or two, but I can live with it.
Next step, the new seat base.
Can't wait to see how your project comes out. Had to replace the wood strips in my rear bench. Used the polystyrene lattice strips from Lowes with very good results. No more rotting.
OK- the next step: seat base and creating more storage. I took a cue from this post about creating more storage under the rear seat by building in a compartment. I enlisted the help of a contractor buddy and creative genius. He had some redwood left from a project, so we ripped it to 5" and built a basic rectangular frame.
With the frame giving us a new height for the seat base, we cut a piece of 5/8" plywood to size and then cut out two large access panels. The plywood was then coated in West System epoxy for strength and waterproofness.
Next step- cushions. I picked up some foam at the local foam shop- I went with a 5x5" high density foam for the front of the cushions and two layers of 2" foam for the main seat. I used a high density foam on top with a medium density underneath. On the left side of the seat is the leftover foam so you can see the different thicknesses and layers.
I went with three cushions, two over the storage access holes and one in the center of the seat that would cover a carpeted step area. I had managed to borrow an industrial sewing machine and had enlisted a friend to help with sewing cushions, but we couldn't get the machine working. The backup plan was we glued the foam to a plywood base (epoxied both sides first) and then wrapped the vinyl over and stapled it. When I say wrapped, we literally wrapped the foam cushions like you'd wrap a present. Turned out well though, I think.
Next step was carpeting the seat box and seat base. That was relatively straight forward. I used marine carpet I sourced through West Marine. I discovered that the original seat back is angled, and under pressure would ride up against the back of the boat. My solution was to cut two pieces of redwood, carpet them and then screw them down to the seat base. You can see those in this picture.
With the modified seat back in place. Looks pretty good, I think.
Center cushion removed to show step area.
This is a view of a cushion bottom. Each cushion has it's own base. I saved the plywood from the two access panels, epoxied both sides, then screwed them to the bottoms of the left and right cushions. Those pieces are sized so they're a tight fit in to the access panels, which holds the cushions in place. The center cushion is pretty well wedged in there, but I'll probably remove all three cushions when trailering.
Completed seat with all cushions in place.
I haven't had the boat out yet (week long trip coming up, we leave Sunday), but based on sitting on the seat and making vroom-vroom noises, I think it'll do the job. Currently in the storage space are two anchors, a 100' anchor line, a 50' anchor line, my tool/spare parts box and my flush hose. Still more room for ski lines and whatnot if needed.

Great work! Thanks for the pics and how-to as this is something I have been wondering about.:
SSMoose- feel free to ask questions. I'll help out if I can. It was not as hard as it looked. I did a lot of thinking about what I wanted the seat to look like and how to accomplish that, so it seemed to go pretty smoothly.
Wow! Great work and great ideas in this project.
I have often thought about a similar setup but I have not had time to tackle it. I bought an extra used rear seat to try my ideas without destroying the original. This gives me some motivation and I may use some of your ideas if you don't mind.
It was a pretty straight-forward job. There are a couple of little things I discovered:
-I used a jigsaw to cut the Styrofoam seat. When you're cutting the seat back, the saw foot needs to be angled to compensate for the angle of the seat back so you get a nice cut. I didn't do this, and had to fill in with foam shims and construction adhesive.
-That same angled seat back, when in place, will rise up if you lean on it (when it's in the boat). I used those carpeted wooden blocks to keep it from moving.
-I found that the seat base I made wanted to slide around on the carpet. I screwed a couple of blocks on the front corners that wedge it in place. The wedges aren't visible once the base is in position on the boat.
Those are the big things I remember. The rest of it is just taking your time and thinking about what you want it to look like.
Good luck!
Looks good Greg!
Thanks, Tim! I'm pretty happy with it. Some of the more MCOCD folks might not appreciate my quickie upholstery job, but if it holds up for a couple of seasons, I'll consider it a success!
I like it! I have been thinking about doing something like this for my '83. The only concern is do you feel the seat being too shallow when sitting in it now?

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The MIT women's track and field team traveled to California for its annual spring break training trip, which culminated with a competition in the Westmont Collegiate Classic on Saturday. The No. 4 ranked Engineers captured the team title with 84.67 points, ahead of second-place Fresno Pacific University.
Sophomore Jacqueline Brew (Amherst, N.H.) was the leading-point earner for the Cardinal and Gray, accounting for 13.75 points, as she competed in six different events. Brew led off the winning 4x100 relay that finished in 48.32 seconds, the sixth-fastest time in the country on the season. Brew was joined on the relay by seniors Portia Jones (Queens, N.Y.) and Jamie Simmons (Carlsbad, Calif.) and freshman Madeleine Bairey (Pebble Beach, Calif.). Brew also took third place in the 100-meter hurdles (15.1 seconds) and long jump (17-3.50 feet), fourth in the triple jump (34-9.75 feet) and sixth in the 100 meters (12.75 seconds).
Freshman Michelle Johnson (Glendora, Calif.) out leapt Brew in the triple jump, winning the event with a 35-9.50-foot effort. That mark, a personal-best for Johnson, ranks 20th in Division III and 4th all-time at MIT.
Simmons also had a busy afternoon, winning the 400m with a time of 57.56 seconds, ninth-fastest in the countrym and earning fifth place in the 400-hurdles (65.05). Jones was a third-place finisher in the 400 IH (63.48 seconds) and a runner-up in the 100 HH (14.8 seconds).
Other event winners for MIT came in the pole vault, junior Lauren Kuntz (Pittsburgh, Pa.) at 12-1.50 feet, the 3000m Steeplechase, senior Maggie Lloyd (Sacramento, Calif.) in 11:29.10. Lloyd led a sweep of the top three for Tech in the steeplechase, as sophomores Martina de Geus (Los Altos, Calif.) and Claire O'Connell (Los Altos Hills, Calif.) came through in second and third place, respectively.
Tech will compete in the annual Engineer's Cup meet next weekend with RPI and WPI. The meet is slated for Saturday, April 7 and will be hosted by RPI.
