Trevor Owens talked to us about Zotero. The slides are already online and the video should be there soon.
What is it?
Zotero is a Firefox add on that lets you:
Pages that support Zotero have an icon that appears in the address bar in Firefox (like the RSS icon)
State of the Community
Get Involved
Stats from the Room – and the Future
Trevor asked us a few questions to see how many people were aware of/using Zotero:
After these results, Trevor stated: "Okay, this has to change!" He'd love to see more academic institutions using Zotero, the future of the tool hopefully includes moving from being just a client side app in your browser to being an entire suite of tools. They'd love to have a reliable set of syncing plugins for tools like del.icio.us, and plugins for MS Word and Open Office.
He pointed out the SIMILE page at MIT, a project that
seeks to enhance inter-operability among digital assets, schemata/vocabularies/ontologies, metadata, and services. A key challenge is that the collections which must inter-operate are often distributed across individual, community, and institutional stores. We seek to be able to provide end-user services by drawing upon the assets, schemata/ vocabularies/ ontologies, and metadata held in such stores.
Lastly, he mentioned that Zotero will be introducing something in collaboration with the Internet Archive entitled, Zotero Commons, in the opes of encouraging a new type of openness.
More can be found about this at Dan Cohen's blog:
I'm pleased to announce a major alliance between the Zotero project at the Center for History and New Media and the Internet Archive. It's really a match made in heaven—a project to provide free and open source software and services for scholars joining together with the leading open library. The vision and support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has made this possible, as they have made possible the major expansion of the Zotero project over the last year.
I have to admit that I don't use Zotero that much – I have it installed, but never took the time to explore it. My cousin swears by it and can't live without it – and others have said the same thing – maybe I should start poking at it. Trevor's presentation was great and taught me a lot and made me want to learn more about Zotero and how I can use it to my advantage.

In Andrew Nagy's presentation From Idea to Open Source, he took us through the process of creating VuFind, an open-source OPAC replacement/Library portal.
At Villanova, they wanted to develop a portal for library patrons that would let people search the catalog, the article databases and digital library all in one – and keep it separate from the ILS. The goal was one single interface for all library resources in order to minimize the learning curve associated with having many different interfaces.
After doing some asking around, they quickly found that many other academic libraries were having the same problem – so the question became – why don't we do it together? Why not make this an open-source project so that others can participate and benefit from the work of others?
The Goal
At Villanova, they wanted to build a system that would work with any ILS (including Koha & Evergreen – which Andrew called "our open source cousins") and needs to work on a variety of platforms (Linux, Windows, etc).
The goal was not to replace the ILS, keep the ILS to do what it does best – but change the web app our patrons use so that it better meets their needs and expectations. VuFind uses the ILS to pull live holdings data from and either harvest bib data (if the ILS doesn't provide direct database access) or query existing index (mostly used on the open-source ILSes which provide a way to let you in to search directly).
By having this top layer in addition to your ILS, you can easily change ILSes in the future without disrupting your patrons or changing the way they're used to working. All this, just by separating the OPAC from the ILS.
Making it Open Source
The next step is to take this open source and share it – Villanova is not the marketplace to sell/support software. Andrew made a call to the audience to help build a collaborative community around VuFind so that this project can take off and be successful. Since other institutions are interested in it it would be a shame for Villanova to keep it to themselves – this is why open source is the next logical stop for the project.
In order to do this decisions have to be made, the right tools need to chosen. Some options were Sourceforge and Google Code. Right now, the VuFind team chose Sourceforge – they don't find that it has all of the tools they need, but it was a good first step in making the project shareable.
The future vision includes having a local SVN or CVS and using a tool like JIRA, TRAC, Bugzilla, etc. These options lead to true freedom, but require a hosting institution.
Positives of Open-sourcing
Negatives of Open-sourcing
Where VuFind is now
Most importantly, we need easy ways to install the software. Everyone knows about the famous WordPress 1 minute install – this should be the goal. The product requires easy install and integration, strong user interface and strong functionality before it will be widely adopted (I'd argue that the interface is pretty strong already – just a few more tweaks and it's there).
When open-sourcing a project you need a roadmap for organization, to keep the process agile and to communicate with the community so they know what you're doing from time to time. The start to this is the VuFind site and Sourceforge, but as Andrew said, not everything needed can be found in Sourceforge.
I've seen Andrew talk a few times about VuFind and I think this was the best of all of the talks I saw. It showed me how I can help, it showed me that there is a plan and a pretty mapped out one for VuFind. I see this as a viable option for librarians looking for a way to to integrate searching of all of their collections in one easy to use, clean, interface.

GE Names John Flannery Head Of Business Development
GE (NYSE: GE) – General Electric Company Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt today announced the appointment of John Flannery as senior vice president for corporate business development. Flannery will succeed Pamela Daley, who is retiring after 24 years with GE. The appointment is effective April 1.
Flannery, 51, has been president and CEO of GE India since 2009, building a strong local team and growing GE revenues and influence. He is a 25-year GE veteran. He will lead GE's business development team, which is responsible for GE's mergers, acquisitions, and divestiture activities worldwide.
Immelt said, "In India and in his previous roles in GE Capital, John worked across the company to identify new opportunities for growth. He'll do the same in business development, guiding a strong team that will benefit from his leadership and analytical skills as well as his deep understanding of GE and global markets."
Prior to leading GE India, Flannery led GE Capital across Asia, overseeing all of GE's financial services businesses, and held a number of other sales leadership and finance roles in GE Capital. He earned a bachelor's degree in finance from Fairfield University and a master's degree in finance from the University of Pennsylvania.
Flannery will be succeeded as president and CEO of GE India by Banmali Agrawala, who has led GE's energy businesses in India and will continue to do so in addition to his India CEO role. Daley led GE's business development team during a decade when GE reshaped its portfolio to focus on high-growth businesses. Immelt said, "Pam provided strong advice and direction on some of the largest and most important acquisitions in GE history, including valuable additions to our healthcare , aviation and energy businesses. She also helped oversee major dispositions of insurance, plastics and NBC Universal and other businesses. On every deal, Pam provided clear and expert analysis, and her wide credibility served us well with external partners." Daley will serve as a special advisor to GE through 2013.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Progressive Field, Cleveland, Ohio
CLEVELAND -- Corey Kluber began the season as one of the question marks in Cleveland's rotation.
The right-hander ends May as one of the top pitchers in the American League.
Kluber struck out 12 in 7 1/3 innings to continue his dominant pitching in May and the Indians beat the Colorado Rockies 5-2 on Friday night.
"It's fun to write his name in the lineup every five days," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "He continues to get better and better. He's got power, movement and command. He's pretty good."
Kluber (6-3) has been a lot better than pretty good. Other than giving up a two-run homer in the fourth inning to Carlos Gonzalez, he was in complete control of the highest-scoring offense in the NL. He recorded his third double-figure strikeout game this season and ends the month with a 4-0 record and a 2.09 ERA in six starts.
Kluber, who struck out a career-high 13 on May 4 against the Chicago White Sox, finished the month with 60 strikeouts in 43 innings. The right-hander allowed five hits with one walk and was given a standing ovation by the crowd of 25,066 when he was pulled after retiring the first batter in the eighth.
"To do it against that lineup tonight -- that's a very difficult lineup to strike out," Francona said. "That's as much, or more impressive as anything, to do it against that team."
Kluber, who rarely shows any emotion when he's on the mound, downplayed his accomplishments and says he wasn't aware that he leads the AL with 95 strikeouts.
"I had no idea, honestly," he said. "I keep saying when you guys ask me that strikeouts are a by-product of making good pitches. I'm not going out there trying to strike guys out."
Kluber was given several ovations as his strikeout totals rose, but he remained focused on the task at hand.
"I'm kind of locked in when I'm out there," he said. "I don't really notice."
Asdrubal Cabrera's two-run homer broke a fifth-inning tie. The Indians snapped a four-game losing streak while the Rockies fell to 2-5 on their nine-game trip.
Colorado didn't have a hit through three innings, but Corey Dickerson led off the fourth with a double and Gonzalez homered to right-center on an 0-1 pitch with one out.
"It was a changeup, belt high down the middle, it wasn't a good pitch," Kluber said.
Rockies manager Walt Weiss, who was ejected in the sixth inning, was impressed.
"That nasty breaking ball, and we knew he did coming in, but he commanded it and it was a good one," Weiss said. "It was hard and late and he's on a good run. And he threw well again tonight."
Cleveland chased Juan Nicasio (5-3) with a four-run fifth. Michael Bourn's single tied the game before Cabrera's homer put Cleveland ahead. Lonnie Chisenhall, who drove in two runs, added an RBI double.
Kluber struck out the side in the third. He took control after Gonzalez's homer in the fourth. Seven of the next nine outs were strikeouts and he got Charlie Culberson to bounce into a double play to end the seventh.
Cody Allen pitched a perfect ninth for his second save.
Gonzalez returned to the lineup after not starting Wednesday because of a sore right calf. He fouled a pitch off his leg Tuesday and left the game, and was limited to pinch-hitting duties Wednesday. His home run snapped an 0-for-11 slump, but Colorado has 16 runs in the first seven games of the trip and is 5 for 51 with runners in scoring position.
The Rockies' frustration boiled over in the sixth when Michael Cuddyer was called out on strikes by plate umpire John Tumpane. Cuddyer angrily argued the call before being pulled away. Weiss continued the argument and was ejected for the first time in his managerial career.
Michael Brantley extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a fifth-inning double and has hit in 19 consecutive home games, a Progressive Field record.
Jason Kipnis' second-inning single snapped an 0-for-15 slump. He returned Wednesday after missing 25 games with a strained right oblique.
Game notes
Rockies 3B Nolan Arenado (broken finger) visited doctors at the Cleveland Clinic, who confirmed the diagnosis of Colorado team doctors that he won't need surgery. The plan is to let the finger heal on its own and there's no timetable for his return. ... Indians 3B/C Carlos Santana (concussion) said he's feeling better, but doesn't know when he'll resume physical activities. He was placed on the 7-day DL Tuesday. ... Cleveland RHP Zach McAllister (sore back) threw a simulated game Friday and is scheduled to throw on the side Sunday. ... Rockies LHP Franklin Morales faces RHP Trevor Bauer on Saturday.

Corey Kluber struck out 12 Rockies on Friday and had a dominant month of May.
Kluber went undefeated in May and leads the majors with a strike out rate of 36 percent on the month.
The key for Kluber's turnaround this month has been getting batter to swing-and-miss more often. [+]May The Force Be With You

Agency analysis says 60% of the utility's request should be rejected.
The Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is operated by Xcel Energy. The plant, which opened in 1971, generates enough electricity to power nearly half a million homes.
Xcel Energy is facing powerful pushback on its latest effort to raise electric rates in Minnesota.
The state Commerce Department, which analyzes utility rates on behalf of consumers, wants regulators to throw out more than half of Xcel's requested rate hike of $291 million — or 10.4 percent — over two years.
"Our investigation to date has concluded that over $174 million or 60 percent of the … rate increase should be rejected," Samir Ouanes, a department rate analyst, said Monday at a public meeting held by a regulatory judge working on the rate case.
Separately, the AARP, an advocacy group for older Americans, is mobilizing its 650,000 Minnesota members against the proposed Xcel increase and a related billing change. So far, AARP says, 600 people have submitted written comments, though only a fraction of that number showed up in person Monday for the first of seven public meetings on Xcel's request.
The Minnesota attorney general's office, which reviews utility rates on behalf of residential and small-business customers, also has questioned Xcel's requested rate hike. Ron Nelson, a utilities analyst for the office, said it will ask regulators for a "significant reduction" in the request.
Residential ratepayers face a 12.5 percent increase that would occur in two steps during 2014 and 2015. Since January, Xcel customers have been paying 4.6 percent more under an interim rate hike. That increase is subject to refund if the permanent rate hike is rejected or reduced by regulators.
"In our opinion, residential consumers are being asked to shoulder a share of the increase that is too large compared to the larger ratepayers," Jim Scheibel, a former St. Paul mayor who now serves as AARP state president, said at the Brooklyn Center hearing.
Chris Clark, a regional vice president who handles Xcel's rate cases, said in an interview Monday that the utility aims to address concerns of the Commerce Department and other intervenors. "Certainly it was a greater adjustment than we were expecting," Clark said of the Commerce Department's position.
Xcel, the state's largest utility with 1.2 million electric customers in Minnesota, says it needs the rate increase to pay for upgrades in older power plants and the electric grid, and to cover increased costs and a projected 2014 revenue shortfall. If approved, the rate increase would be the sixth in eight years, and Xcel has said it likely will need additional increases as it completes its current investment cycle.
One of the dozen Xcel customers to speak at the afternoon hearing, Mike Grabow of Brooklyn Park, said the company is pricing electricity beyond the reach of many.
"There are a lot of people in this room and a lot of people in this state that are going to be forced right out of their homes because they aren't going to be able to afford electricity and gas," Grabow said.
Ouanes said the Commerce Department's review found that Xcel has overstated costs, including employee benefits and property taxes. In a written filing earlier this month, the department estimated that Xcel overstated its 2014 revenue shortfall by $55 million.
Xcel will "look for places where there are constructive solutions" to the concerns raised by the Commerce Department and others, including the AARP, Clark said.
"We appreciate that rate increases put pressure on people — and seniors, in particular, are a group represented by AARP that raises theses concerns," he added. "We actually appreciate having them [AARP] in place and part of the dialogue."
Administrative Law Judge Jeanne Cochran, who presided at Monday's two public meetings, will hold five more this week, followed by a trial-like evidentiary hearing in August. She expects to issue a recommendation on rates in December. The state Public Utilities Commission will make the final decision, probably in 2015. About 40 Xcel customers, including many seniors, showed up at each of two meetings Monday in Brooklyn Center and Minneapolis.
Lobbying ramped up
AARP, with its vast membership base, is emerging as a well-organized voice for people over 50 affected by utility rate hikes. Older Americans are more vulnerable to increases in energy prices than younger people, and a bigger share of their spending goes to energy costs, AARP says.
In February, Will Phillips, a veteran of AARP grass-roots lobbying on utility matters, transferred from Atlanta to serve as Minnesota state director.

Well you seem to be a natural athlete, so there is no obstacle to you taking your tennis as far as you would like to. The real question is how important to you is winning tennis matches? Getting a serve, a BH and some volleys would be the next step if you really want to advance your game. (That and finding a court with 20% fewer lines yours does). Your "strategy" is currently much, much less important than your ability to perform the strokes. Just concentrate on getting the ball in the court.

I did it. I actually made grape juice! From my neighbor's organic grapes. I made 11 quarts - which doesn't seem like as much as it should considering how long I had that juicer going - but I am still proud of it. I think there would have been 12 quarts, but we drank a lot right out of the juicer.
After: Ta-dah! It really wasn't hard at all. My only recommendation - don't let the plastic tube fall on the stove burner and melt 4 inches of it while at the same time filling your kitchen with toxic smoke. Especially when the juicer belongs to your kind neighbor. Argh. I'm so stupid. Fortunately I could just cut-off the plastic part that was melted and re-attach the end valve, but now the tubing is 4 inches shorter. I did confess to my neighbor and she is an understanding soul. She had done the same thing to her mother's juicer. Phew.And in other culinary experiments I tried roasting cherry tomatos for the first time. And they were GOOD! And it was so easy. Here is a great explanation.I think I am going to go make some more right now.

Just finished my first bottle of this. First off, the fragrance is great. Unfortunately, it's just does a mediocre job of moisturizing. It is hypoallergenic and paraben free so that's a plus, but I won't be repurchasing.

Standoff after chase shuts down interstate
UPDATED 5:14 PM CST Feb 11, 2014An Iowa driver going more than 100 mph refused to pull over for a trooper on Interstate 35.
Video TranscriptNew information at 5: a high speed chase shut down Interstate 35 between the Bevington and St. Charles exits. And turned into an armed stand-off! KCCI was first to break the story on-air and online. Ryan Smith is live in Bevington to explain what went down. The high speed chase came to an end after troopers deployed stop sticks on I 35. We tracked down the suspect's vehicle... here it is behind me. You can see the stop sticks caused three tires to blow out of the car. This tire is completely deflated. That ultimately forced him to pull over on I- 35... about a mile south of where we are on highway 92. It all started just after one in north Des Moines. A trooper spotted the suspect driving upwards of 100 miles per hour. When the trooper attempted to pull him over, the suspect fled south on I 35. The high speed chase came to an end about a mile south of highway 92. Two negotiators were called to the scene but It then took about an hour for the armed suspect to give in. No shoots were fired. No state troopers were harmed. The Interstate 35 is back open in both directions. I asked one trooper on scene when the suspect surrendered why this man initially fled from authorities... The trooper simply stated "I heard he was having a bad day." The suspect was taken to the Polk county jail. As Ryan mentioned, the interstate was shut down for more than an hour, causing some big traffic backups. KCCI viewer Chrystal McGraw emailed us these pictures of the cars and semis stopped on I-35. But again, the interstate is back

This is how to use a small .25 Cal pistol round to protect yourself from a black grizzly bear. You wont ever see this caliber recommended for big game hunting in any hunting magazine.
Woman Stops Grizzly Attack With 25 Cal Pistol
This is a story of self control and marksmanship with an itsy bitsy shooter by a woman against a fierce predator.
What is the smallest caliber you trust to protect yourself?
The Beretta Jetfire:
While out hiking in Alberta Canada with my boyfriend we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging at us from out of no where.
She must have been protecting her cubs because she was extremely aggressive.
If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire with me I would not be here today!
Just one shot to my boyfriend's knee cap was all it took .the bear got him and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace.
It's one of the best pistols in my collection ...

Homer now has I believe 5 out of 7 starts listed as "Quality Starts" which I believe is 6 innings and 3 runs or less. So..is this stat something that defines the quality of a pitcher?
Homer now has I believe 5 out of 7 starts listed as "Quality Starts" which I believe is 6 innings and 3 runs or less. So..is this stat something that defines the quality of a pitcher?
I've seen better, seen worse. It's worth something because it identifies how often a pitcher keeps their team in the game. On this team, I would say that's a valid goal for a pitcher. This is especially true when we're talking about a 4th starter. If Homer keeps piling up the QS's, I'll be happy.
I think as a stat it creates an interesting paradox. If your starter gives up 3 runs over 6 innings, you say that's not bad, I will take it.
On the flip side, if for the full year a guy did that he would have an ERA of 4.50 you would not consider him a quality starter, but back of the rotation filler.
My opinion is if you can't go 7 innings its not a quality start. If you had a season full of 6 inning "quality starts' your bullpen would be burned out by August and there is nothing quality about that.
Which is it? A QS or a High ERA?? Seems to be the same thing so it is ironic and a pardox which is just strange. He is a Quality starter with a very High ERA!!!
You have 7 pitchers in the pen and 3 innings a day is going to burn them out, Bullcrap!
They should all be able to pitch an inning every other day and the closer 1 every day.
That is not going to burn out anyone. If you get 6 innings out of every start and give up less than 3 runs you will win if the BP does their job.

I think it's just a number that shows how many times you didn't get blown up.
What should a QS be if 6/3 isn't the right number base? Would 7/2? or 6/2?
The league average for innings pitched per start has held at 6 for almost 30 years. Teams have survived. I think 6/3 is considered dead on average. Better or equal to than average innings are "quality" innings because most would agree that has value. If you're going less than 6 or giving up more than 3, that becomes worse than league average.
I think 6/3 is as good of a cutoff as any.
The average ERA for NL starters this year is 3.72. I am not sure how 3.87 (and certainly not 4.50) can be considered 'quality' when it would be a below average performance. That being said, I would agree that 3 runs in 7 innings should give your team a reasonable shot at winning. Maybe they should change the name from 'Quality Start' to 'Competitive Start' or something along those lines. I believe that is really what the stat is trying to measure anyway, how many times a pitcher gives his team a reasonable shot at winning.
A summer watching a bad Reds' team, is still a pretty good summer.
If a reliever pitched an inning every other game he would end up with 81 innings pitched. In 2011 that would have ranked him 5th in the NL. 81 innings is a lot and I would imagine a ton of relievers would struggle under such a workload.
A summer watching a bad Reds' team, is still a pretty good summer.
Just curious, what was it last year? It's always lower this time of year than after August when the weather heats up and the injuries mount.
Also, QS is a metric for MLB, so you should probably be using stats for MLB rather than just the NL. Just my opinion.
I do kind've like your suggestion about renaming the stat.
A summer watching a bad Reds' team, is still a pretty good summer.
If every game our starters gave up 3 runs in 6 innings we would win way more games than we lose. Bailey has pitched pretty good so far, like I said in another post, he has been the 3rd best pitcher on the team so far.

Google Mobile Phone with OLED Display and Android 2.1
Google has presented its Android mobile phone to the public. What's special about the Nexus One is the 3.5" touchscreen with an OLED display resolving at 800 x 480 pixels and the newest Android 2.1 (Eclair).
The Nexus One has some advantages over the iPhone. The device is some millimeters flatter and its integrated wireless adapter supports the faster 802.11n standard. Even the display with its 800 x 480 pixels provides a markedly better resolution than the iPhone's 480 x 320 pixels, although Android fans will have to forego multitouch support for the moment.
The device marketed and sold by Google is produced by mobile phone maker HTC, which already has a few Android devices in its repertoire, among them the first Google phone.
The Nexus One will be distributed at first in the U.S. (T-Mobile and Verizon) and England (Vodafone). With a two-year contract, the device should cost under $200 in the U.S., without a service plan, about $530. The Nexus One should become available in Europa in the spring of 2010.
Some data:
- Qualcomm processor QSD 8250 with 1 GHz
- 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, 2X digital zoom, LED flash and ability to capture video at 720 x 480 pixels (20 frames per second)
- UMTS band, HSDPA, HSUPA, GSM/EDGE (in frequency bands 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
- Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1
- Storage on 512-MByte Flash, 512-MByte RAM and 4-GByte Micro SD card (expandable to 32 GBytes)
- Audio decoders include AAC LC/LTP, MP3, MIDI SMF and Ogg Vorbis
- Video codecs H.263 and MPEG-4 SP
- Graphic formats JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP
- AGPS receiver, digital compass and sensors for light, proximity and acceleration

Review: PDF Manipulator allows you to extract field data from PDF files
Migrate embedded PDF field data between FileMaker Pro and Acrobat Pro, using this handy PDF manipulator.
PDF Manipulator for Mac acts as a plug-in that allows you to exchange data between FileMaker Pro and Acrobat Pro, helping you to easily create PDFs from a single template file for each of your database entries. A lightweight plug-in, it works great and can save you a lot of time that otherwise would have been devoted to manual data entry.
To use PDF Manipulator for Mac, you have to copy the plug-in file to the FileMaker extensions folder. Also, you need to install the Acrobat version of the plug-in by selecting Show Package Contents in the app and copying the Acrobat plug-in to the plug-in folder. Once that is done, you can extract the text content and metadata such as title, subject, author, creator, and keywords from your PDF files directly into FileMaker. The plug-in gets a thumbs up for letting you combine multiple PDF files using a single FileMaker script and print PDF files directly from FileMaker. When testing the plug-in, we were able to transfer a PDF of 150KB between Acrobat Pro and FileMaker in less than ten seconds.
PDF Manipulator for Mac expands the capabilities of both FileMaker and Acrobat Pro, allowing you to transfer information between them more quickly and conveniently. If you use forms a lot and would like to speed up the processing time, you will love this plug-in.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of PDF Manipulator for Mac 184.108.40.206.

Ashlee Simpson on the Rebound, Who's the New Dude?
So who is this mystery rebound rocker? At least we know Simpson has a type. According to E! Online, while shopping in LA, Simpson was spotted getting more than cozy with musician Craig Owens.
But will Simpson be getting some family flack for her new guy who's all about D.R.U.G.S.? Well, not exactly. Owens is the founder of the alternative rock band, Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (D.R.U.G.S.). We wonder if the group's bonus track, 'A Little Kiss and Tell,' from their debut album, released just after Simpson and Wentz announced their split, has anything to do with the newly single Simpson sister.
But Simpson isn't the only one who's smitten with the new rocker in her life. Estranged hubby, Wentz, has nothing but accolades for Owens. According to E! Online, Owens is signed to Wentz's record label, Decaydance, and before their partnership went through early last year Wentz even tweeted, "@craigeryowens hey we will be partners in crime soon. come the middle of this month." Talk about a love triangle.
As Simpson and Wentz's custody battle for their 2-year-old son, Bronx, starts to heat up, we're holding our breadth to see if Wentz uses Simpson's speedy post-separation public canoodling to his advantage in the courtroom.

She seems soo unstable to me. From her kooky hair and her getting canned by melrose place. Another attention-starved person who can't even wait a month after her split with her husband to go out and find a replacement. Nice tatoos-- I'm sure he'll make a great father figure for Bronx.

I really wish these people would respect their children enough to lay off other men/women for at least two years!
Knowing from experience with my ex bf whom I have 2 1/2 year old and split 1 1/2 years ago - he was dating before we even moved out and I've remained very true to our son that no one will be around him for a very long time out of respect to him and myself.
It's sad too because studies show that 20% of relatioships end by the time the child is 18 months old. - Thursday 10 MarchBy joeHighest Rank Vote downVote upReport this

Pete deserves better. He didn't want a divorce, but as usual, the woman changes her mind and in the end, he'll probably have to pay up because of it. She clearly was pulling a disgusting Leanne Rimes move while they were married. Hey Ashlee, that was some dance you did when you messed-up your lip-synch appearance on SNL. Seems like only yesterday that debacle took place!

2. Mix the breadcrumbs, baking powder, Old Bay, and mustard powder together in a small bowl. Add to the crab mixture and gently fold through. Again, you want everything combined, but don't break up the crabmeat. Refrigerate the mixture for at least an hour, but several is fine. This binds the mixture together and makes it easier to fill the tins.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 24 mini-muffin cups well with nonstick cooking spray. Fill each cup with crab cake mixture, pressing it in to fill it well. Press a rounded teaspoon down in the middle of each cake to make a little well in the center (this will keep them from mounding up and create a nice flat surface for the tartar sauce). You can cover the tins with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for several hours at this point.
Bake the crab cakes for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown, then cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Use a knife to loosen the cakes and remove them from the pan. Spoon a little tartar sauce on top of each cake and serve immediately, though these taste lovely at room temperature.
Artichoke tartar sauce
For the tartar sauce:
4 medium sized whole artichokes hearts (see note)
2 egg yolks
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley leaves
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup safflower, grapeseed or canola oil
Drain and rinse the artichoke hearts well and pat dry. Drop them in a food processor (I use the mini) and add the capers, egg yolks, parsley and garlic cloves. Pulse three to four times to break everything up into a rough paste; scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the motor running, drizzle the oil into the bowl in a thin, steady stream. Process until the sauce is thick and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl halfway through. Scrape the tartar sauce into a container and keep covered in the fridge until ready to use. It will keep overnight.

UPDATE: The IAB sees the bill as a step in the right direction compared to a previous privacy bill draft.
Rep. Bobby Rush introduced an online privacy bill to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce yesterday, as expected. Industry players and privacy advocates still are combing through the new bill, which is largely similar to a draft proposal distributed by Rep. Rick Boucher in May.
At first pass, Mike Zaneis, Interactive Advertising Bureau's Public Policy VP, saw the H.R. 5777 as a step in the right direction. In particular, he said a safe harbor provision in the Rush bill for companies participating in an industry self-regulatory program - such as one the IAB and a coalition of advertising trade groups are developing - is "a huge concession to the industry's work towards building an [online behavioral advertising] self regulatory program."
Rush's bill follows a draft proposed by Rep. Rick Boucher that's been floating around Washington, D.C. for the past two months.
The bill adds another offshoot trail to the winding path of comprehensive Federal online privacy legislation development. And it could be seen as the beginning of a turf battle. The Boucher proposal was distributed among interested parties in early May for comment, and is not formal legislation.
Rush's bill could be construed as a shot across the bow to Boucher, who is head of the House Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet. Some believe Boucher overstepped his boundaries by submitting his proposal without input from Rush, who is chairman of another House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee (on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection). Insiders say Rush (pictured above) may think his subcommittee, because it deals with consumer protection, is the more appropriate point of origin for an online privacy bill than Boucher. Rush also sits on the Boucher-led Internet Subcommittee.
The next few weeks could be far more active for Web privacy advocates, advertising trade associations, and others involved in the online privacy discussion than many anticipated for this summer. Rush's subcommittee is expected to hold a hearing on his bill this Thursday, according to ClickZ News sources.
The subcommittee website, however, does not list a hearing on the topic of online privacy this week. Rush's press staff did not respond to calls from ClickZ News. In addition, sources say the Senate Commerce Committee will hold its own online privacy-related hearing on July 27, though that is not listed on the committee's website. Congress is scheduled to break for recess between August 9 and September 12, 2010.
There also remains room for Republicans to counteract with their own online privacy legislation. While the Boucher draft was co-released by Rep. Cliff Stearns - a Republican and ranking member of the House Communications, Technology, and Internet Subcommittee - others in his party could decide to join the online privacy bill game.
UPDATE: The original story, published July 19, was updated on July 20 to reflect Rush's introduction of the bill. Want to learn more?

Hotel was ok, its a tad run down but did the job, it is in a great location, right in the middle of town near all the shops and the trolleys.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
It was a nice stay mainly because the hotel's location was really great. In the middle of SFO main shopping area. Around the hotel you can find all the branded shops and department stores as well as the famous cable car main station.
But the hotel has a very old feel to it, especially the bathroom. Room was pretty okay.
Staffs were very polite and helpful.
All in all it was a nice stay.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Generally the hotel was very good. Helpful staff, clean rooms nicely appointed. My only issues were that wifi was a cost option from your room when the literature made it appear free. Free internet access was only available from 2 floors from fixed computers, also no fridge in the bedroom, and they didn't restock the team and coffee during our 4 day stay. None of these issues are major concerns but just the difference between a 4 and 5 star ranking. We would stay here again.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
The first day of our stay we liked to have a nice and well located hotel in the centre of San Francisco. And a hotel that could be easily reached by public transport. Parc 55 Wyndham met all the requirements.
We had a very pleasant stay.

Historical Traveler Reviews Parc 55 Wyndham San Francisco Union Square
Nice Hotel, BAD LOCATION
I got this reservation through Priceline. I thought that the hotel was very nice, but was dissapointed that a 4 star would not have a pool. My biggest complaint is the location. Anyone going to San Fran would be much better off staying at the Fairmount, or the Mark's Hotel. They are in much better areas. When you leave the hotel you can literaly see 20 homeless people in a mattar of minutes. Walk a bit more and you will see 30, 40, 50. The hotel is just outside the tenderloin area, which is the worst part of town. I was literally scared to walk around after 8 p.m at night. DO YOURSELF A BIG FAVOR, FOR THE MONEY YOU SPEND TO STAY HERE, TAKE IT AND SPEND IT AT THE WESTIN, THE FAIRMOUNT, OR THE MARK'S. The Hilton, and Nikko hotel are right next to the PARC 55, so i wouldnt bother with those either.I think that my post is very factual, please heed this advice.
Ideal Big Chain Hotel
You never really know what to believe when you read sites like trip advisor, so, needless to say, I was quite anxious when my wife and I checked in. We travel at least once a month and prefer to stay in "boutique" hotels, but after staying at the Parc 55, I can honestly say, that I'd stay here again. From the front desk clerk who gave us a room with a view when told it was our anniversary, to the porter who helped with directions to breakfast, everyone was very friendly. The room was very large, very clean and very comfortable. With 33 floors and a few hundred rooms, I expected the elevators to be slower than molasses. I was wrong. All in all, I'd give the hotel 4.5 out of 5 stars. A half of a point was deducted for having a room that connected to another room. It allowed the noise to travel through a little easier, and of course, the adjoining room was a family with bickering kids.
Great place to stay
Stayed here recently in August , great room and location , no complaints , very clean
Never again!
Yeee-uck! This hotel stinks! We arrived at the hotel and had a difficult time checking in even though we had all our confirmation numbers and print-out from Orbitz. It was described as a 4 star hotel but I think they need to review it again!Our room was comparable to a roadside motel and DIRTY! I found a pair of mens underwear in the drawer and a used kleenex on the floor- I called down to front desk and complained- they moved us to another room that was just as dirty! I asked about a wet bar or refrigerator and they said we could RENT one(Refrigerator) for an additional 25.00 a day! The staff were cold and uncaring- and they charged us TWICE for our stay! After a month we finally got our money back! P.s. We did call Orbitz to ask for a hotel change and they said they wouldnt guarantee us getting our money back for the Parc even if we didnt stay! Never again!
Great hotel, great location
My husband and I stayed at this hotel for five nights, and we thought it was outstanding. Plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. We walked to Chinatown (though it was a long walk) and drove to Fisherman's Wharf. The concierge was extremely helpful in planning our daytrip to Sonoma. The airport is 20 minutes away, at most. We booked on Expedia and couldn't have been more pleased with their advice, as this hotel deserves its four-star status. Wpuld absolutely stay there again.
Great convention hotel
Arrived in city by BART. Hotel is literally steps away from the Powell St. station. Also very close to Moscone Center. My standard room was luxuriously furnished, altho a little on the small side for 2 double beds. A family would have been VERY crowded, but for one person on a business trip the room was fine.
Terrific Stay
Awesome stay. Had a great room on the 27th floor with a nice northern view towards the financial district. The updated room was very clean, spacious, with a nice bathroom. The concierge was extremely helpful in helping us with transportation and tour arrangements. Even the restaurant had terrific food. Don't let it scare you if it's relatively empty.The location is good near Union Sq, theaters, shops/restaurants, and the cable car line. It's typical urban with the associated elements, but we never felt threatened. Don't wait too late to jump on the cable car lest you wait in line for quite a stint.
What a great hotel
My husband and I stayed a week at the Parc 55 and were very impressed with the hotel. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The concierge made several dinner reservations for us and gave recommendations on good places to dine.We would recommend this place to anyone. We made the reservation through Priceline, and afterward, I read several online reviews that commented on the "seedy area." I became a little worried to see what I had gotten us into. But we had no complaints at all. Of course, it IS the city and you'll have to expect some homeless people being around. That's to be expected in the city. We walked pretty much everywhere we went and never had any trouble.We would definitely go back.
Great Location in San Francisco
Stayed at this hotel for a conference. It has a great location near the cable cars and Union Square.
The rooms were very nice, quiet and very clean. Service outstanding.
Great stay at Parc 55
The Renaissance Parc 55 was a great place to stay in the City by the Bay!
On my recent visit (oct 10-13, 2002), I was surprised that a huge (1,000 rooms) hotel could offer such good service.
Check-in was easy and friendly. My 24th floor corner room was large and well-furnished (albeit with the typical chain hotel stuff, but it was fine). Views of downtown and the surrounding hills were incredible.
The rooms feature excellent work desks, lounging chairs and a cocktail table. Bathrooms were huge with high-end bath products. There's nightly turndown service as well, and a newspaper is delivered to your door on weekdays.
The location was great - right next to the Powell St. Cable car turnaround and steps from the great shopping around Union Square. There are restaurants APLENTY on the streets around the hotel.
MUNI streetcars, buses, and BART are across the street from the hotel. Many attractions are within walking distance if you can stand all of San Francisco's hills.
Weekend rates are among the best in the city among the high-end hotels.
