Citation Management Tools
Citation management tools help you manage your research, collect and cite sources, organize and store your PDFs, and create bibliographies in a variety of citation styles. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, but all are easier than doing it by hand!
- Zotero: A free plug-in for the Firefox browser: keeps copies of what you find on the web, permits tagging, notation, full text searching of your library of resources, works with Word, and has a free web backup service. Zotero is also available as a stand-alone application that syncs with Chrome and Safari, or as a bookmarklet for mobile browsers.
- Zotero help from the UCB Libraries
- Zotero help from zotero.org
- RefWorks - web-based and free for UC Berkeley users. It allows you to create your own database by importing references and using them for footnotes and bibliographies, then works with Word to help you format references and a bibliography for your paper. Use the RefWorks New User Form to sign up.
- RefWorks help from the UCB Libraries
- RefWorks help from RefWorks
- EndNote: Desktop software for managing your references and formatting bibliographies. You can purchase EndNote from the Cal Student Store.
Tip: After creating a bibliography with a citation management tool, it's always good to double check the formatting; sometimes the software doesn't get it quite right.
Zotero Tips
If you've never used Zotero before, use the QuickStart Guide to get started.
Change your preferences if you want Zotero to
- set your default citation style
- search the full text of pdfs you save
- Automatically attach associated PDFs and other files when saving items
To use Zotero to find specific articles in our library's databases, set up the Open URL resolver with this link: http://ucelinks.cdlib.org:8888/sfx_local?
An in-depth discussion of the relative virtues of Endnote and Zotero,
Off-campus access to library resources
You can access UCB Library resources from off campus or via your laptop or other mobile device using one of two simple methods:
Proxy Server
After you make a one-time change in your web browser settings, the proxy server will ask you to log in with a CalNet ID or Library PIN when you click on the link to a licensed resource. See the setup instructions, FAQ, and Troubleshooting pages to configure your browser.
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
After you install and run the VPN "client" software on your computer, you can log in with a CalNet ID to establish a secure connection with the campus network.
Google Research Tools
Google Scholar is an easy way to do interdisciplinary research, and with some settings changes can become even more useful. You may need a Google account to use some of these features.
- Set up Google Scholar to display links to full text of articles that Berkeley subscribes to:
Open Scholar. Click on scholar preferences [upper right corner]. Under Library Links, enter the word Berkeley. Choose UC Berkeley eLinks and Open WorldCat - Library Search and Save your preferences. UC e-links will now appear in Google Scholar search results.
- Set up a Google Scholar Alert to be automatically notified when new articles are added to Google on topics of interest:
Do your search in Google Scholar. Look in the green toolbar for the envelope icon, and click it. New items will be sent to your email account as they are found by Google.
- Ever wanted to trace an article's impact? Google now permits searching within citing articles.
Do a Google Scholar search. Click on the "Cited by" link under a citation and select the "Search within articles citing..." checkbox.

I wanted to share this on Crop circles group but it would not post so I decided to make a new discussion on it here.
From my latest learnings of Keylontic teachings and the LAW OF ONE and also the teachings of Dunvalo Melchesedeck I see a great relation between the sacred geometry in crop circles and Mer Ka Ba teachings.
Can you see a spinning crystal like star in this image creating a vortex? A pentagram over a pentagram making ten points in total. Turning in opposite directions. This is strange in comparison to the six pointed star we often work with that consists of a triangular pyramid upside down (female) merging a triangular pyramid standing straight up (male).
Something similar but not quite like this one.
Now when you look at sacred geometry you can see how many of these shapes fit into crop circles.
Some call this a "Metatron cube" as they imagine the multi dimensional cube that Archangel Metatron uses to clean your energies when you ask him to.
You can also see a grid over mother earth behind him and this is what we learn from Keylontic teachings.We become one with her,through her and strengthen her through doing these meditations as we strengthen ourselves in the process. Energetically.
Doing Merkaba meditations are simple enough when you use your imagination and take your time, but it does wonders because as Drunvalo says "It is a science and therefore it works all the time every time" regardless of weather you know the why and the what behind it. In a basic meditation I just turn pyramids.
ALIENS I assume are preparing us for times to come by showing us this. The Katharic grid around our bodies protects us from the "three to four days of darkness" supposedly at Dec 22 2012 untill Dec 25 in which we will blank out and reset for 4th or 5th dimension. Keylontic teachings say that we will fall apart energetically if we don't strengthen out Katharic grid trough MerKaBa meditations.
I believe we will be fine but knowing how to do this simple technique might come in handy during this time of change.
There is a lot more to say on this subject but I leave it open to discussions for now.
Warm regards

WHen I wake up at night I see these sparks all around me and feel the spinning. It is really cool. Also I feel the presence of entities who are weaving this. But I feel in my daily life quite vulnerable and that my field isn't very strong. I hope that will shift with the shift. The preparation has been a long time coming!
Thank you for the news and the videos.
Thank you for telling us and its quite interesting Deborah
Some people hear sounds that others do not hear like humming or choirs singing. I believe the strange sounds heard on earth in forests and places also have to do with portals opening into other dimensions.
Dear Eugene,
Thanks for your post and pictures ...videos....
Its a pleasure Sohniben.
I was lucky to find these good videos. It says it well.
Thanks Eugene for posting this. Very timely! Blessings
These meditations are so simple. Just thinking about them creates the result. I thought people should know this in time LOL
As you put it.
Hi Eugene a lovely post ...thank you for taking the time to share it with us.
Love's blessings to you ♥ Carol
The pleasure is mine.
And love is the stream where all the energy comes from.
Thank you Carol.
Glad you liked it Mark. We have a lot of crop circle posts in the crop circle group.

China's Cheatin' Ways and the Politicians That Ignore Them: Why Pennsylvania Should Ask the Primary Questions
By Kerri Houston
A big red boot with a prominent yellow star is running roughshod over Pennsylvania, stomping on jobs in its wake.
Pennsylvania's workers and business owners are well aware of the impact of its footprint, as are the state's governor, legislators and the employees of the Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation office, who are processing job loss applications faster than they can say "big boot."
It appears the only souls currently treading on Pennsylvanian soil that have not noticed the state's devastating and ongoing job losses to China belong to presidential candidates of both parties.
Although manufacturing still accounts for $73.9 billion of Pennsylvania's Gross State Product and is the largest individual contributor to the statewide economy, the state has lost more than 207,400 manufacturing jobs since 2000. Some 78,000 of those have been lost to China since 2001.
As a result of its cheating on all economic fronts, China has accumulated the largest trade surplus in global history, and a $256 billion annual trade deficit with the United States alone. Despite winning through dishonest trade, China has so far incurred no cost for its bad behavior.
Pennsylvania is an ideal manufacturing state. With a sophisticated highway and railway network and water transport links through its many inland waterways and Lake Erie, goods can be shipped from Pennsylvania quickly.
The state also has a highly skilled workforce and an April 22 primary showdown between Democratic candidates Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama that is currently giving it a loud voice on the national stage.
Despite its many advantages, Pennsylvania's unemployment rates took a sharp upward turn five years ago, and its current 4.9 percent unemployment rate, although higher than the national average, belies pockets of higher and more painful unemployment in the state. The economic and cultural devastation of job losses in the Pittsburgh area is palpable, and some mid-state counties such as Cambria and Somerset have unemployment rates above 6.1%. These job losses multiply across all economic sectors, making statewide recovery very difficult.
In our global economy, it is reasonable to expect a flow of labor and
trade, but Pennsylvanians should not have to compete with unrestrained
economic cheating and worker exploitation from China.
China ignores international treaty obligations and flaunts its noncompliance fearlessly. Although it promised to end currency manipulation when joining the World Trade Organization in 2001, it continues undervaluing its currency, making its goods cheaper and ours more expensive. Chinese manufacturers, predominantly owned by the government in the first place, are given free land, infrastructure and "loans" with no expectation of payback. In effect, its "private" sector is highly subsidized by the Chinese government.
In the last five years, the Chinese government poured $52 billion of subsidies into its state-owned steel industry alone.
Chinese manufacturing benefits financially from ignoring accepted environmental safety regulations. Waterways and wells in China run red and purple with dyes and toxins dumped into ground and river. Many Chinese factories disregard international norms for workers by embracing low pay, forced labor and deplorable conditions for workers.
The migration of jobs to China also has serious national security implications. Large military equipment sits idle in repair centers as the few American companies left that provide spare parts or the tools needed to attach them have dwindled to a trickle. Humvees receive armor plating at an agonizing pace as only one U.S. manufacturer of armored steel remains.
For China, its cheating results in profits from its highly subsidized manufacturers that allow it to increase its military funding rapidly—by 18.2 percent last year, much of it focused on emerging military space applications.
Despite the ability for the United States to address China's cheating through existing trade laws, our government has done little to solve the problem. But Pennsylvania's place as a primary battleground and an important swing state in November provides an opportunity for Pennsylvanians to pose questions to presidential hopefuls about U.S. job losses and China's looming economic threat.
None of the frontrunners from either party have addressed China's cheating or its effect on our nation's manufacturing and security. Although Sen. John McCain already has the delegates to have won the Republican nomination, he will be returning to Pennsylvania prior to Nov. 4th to ask for your vote in the general election.
And before Pennsylvania awards its 187 Democrat delegates to the candidate of its choice, its citizens have earned the right to ask: "if you are president, what are you going to do about enforcing our trade laws and reversing the cheating that makes it impossible for us to compete fairly in the global marketplace?"
If the people don't ask, the candidates can't answer.

I've created a remote build system that plugs into Sublime's build system. It allows multiple users to collaborate remotely on a central server with web frameworks such as CppCMS (C++) and Django (Python). Users can develop a web app in Sublime and view their changes from their own private subdomain on your web server.
This remote build system is really useful for CppCMS, which requires a server compile step.
It currently works with Django. CppCMS support is still under development. Tested with Sublime 3 build 3047.

Bay County's Economic Development Alliance works to attract new businesses to Bay County...and help existing businesses grow.
One of it's priorities is to attract aviation and aerospace industries to the West Bay area of Beaches International Airport.
EDA Executive Director Neal Wade talks about the process in this week's One on One.
"That has become one of our top priorities to work with the airport authority and space coast to try and figure out a way to build at least two hangars to accommodate a 747."
Ok, So you are trying to entice for the airport purposes the aerospace and aviation type industries...within the fence, we are focused solely on aerospace?
"I can tell you right now, if we had the infrastructure out there, if we had hangars, we would already have companies working out there, we've got to find a way to get hangars at the airport. Now was the air show that you attended in Paris along those lines, cause that was aviation related, correct? Sort of along those lines. That is more broadly aerospace it is your largest global aerospace companies in the world like Boeing, Lockheed ah, Airbus, EADS, those kinds of companies. Plus alto of suppliers."
"We were there in support of the state of Florida, ah, who gov. Scott, Secretary of Commerce Grace Webb, were calling on a number of aerospace companies during the event."
"We were there to support that and I happen to chair a four state aerospace alliance from Louisiana to Florida, so we hosted a cruise down the sane on Sunday, prior to the show opening. We had 400 aerospace executives on that cruise. Gov. Scott was there, along with two other governors and four us senators."
"I know the Governor announced 2-3 companies were locating or relocating in Florida, not necessarily in Bay County, is that what you do, you go and give them incentives and tell them about our area to see if they can locate here? Well, we are trying to get in the mix. They key to this whole thing is get in the game, If we know that a company is looking to expand in Florida or anywhere else, we want to get in the competition and we want to be able to show them, here's what bay county thru our sites thru our incentives, thru our work force, this is what we can offer you to come to Bay County."
Wade says it's a competitive situation, so they work hard to find big companies and see if their projects are compatible with Bay County.

Angkor Wat, Cambodia
So what's up with all my Angkor Wat postings lately? Well, it's been nearly a year since our trip to Thailand and Cambodia and I have only gone through a tiny percentage of the photos taken. This is one of the smaller temples on the grounds of the main temple. No one was around; had the whole place to myself for a while to take it all in. Felt a bit like Indiana Jones.
Solitude and timelessness were two feeling that echoed throughout the place.

This is the traditional view of the temple that's so often photographed. It'd be very difficult to do anything different or new with this scene, but the actual experience of being there is greater than any photograph may express.
I only wish that I had more time to explore the numerous temples. Being there around something so ancient and monumental borders on a religious experience.

Imagine being able to pull up someone's name, social-media profile and Google search results just by looking at them while wearing a pair of smart glasses. Now stop imagining it. Google says face-recognition apps won't be allowed on Google Glass anytime soon. In a Google plus post on Saturday, the company announced:
When we started the [Google Glass] Explorer Program nearly a year ago our goal was simple: we wanted to make people active participants in shaping the future of this technology ahead of a broader consumer launch. We've been listening closely to you, and many have expressed both interest and concern around the possibilities of facial recognition in Glass. As Google has said for several years, we won't add facial recognition features to our products without having strong privacy protections in place. With that in mind, we won't be approving any facial recognition Glassware at this time.
Google had already said it had no immediate plans to offer face-recognition software for Glass. But it left things open-ended enough that people continued to freak out about the possibility. Last month a Congressional committee on privacy wrote Google an open letter explicitly asking whether Glass would have "facial recognition capabilities." The controversy came to a head last week, when the San Francisco startup Lambda Labs announced that it would offer a facial-recognition programming interface for app developers working on Glass. Lambda Labs' Stephen Balaban said at the time that he didn't see anything in the Google Glass terms of service that would prohibit using the device to recognize people's faces in photos or videos.
There is now. In addition to the announcement, Google has updated its app-developer policies for Glass to include the following clause:
Don't use the camera or microphone to cross-reference and immediately present personal information identifying anyone other than the user, including use cases such as facial recognition and voice print. Applications that do this will not be approved at this time.

Guide To Dealing with Tooth Pain
When tooth pain is debilitating, treatment should be sought for it as soon as possible. Waiting may cause further damage to the tooth making the repair work more complicated and expensive. Here are 4 recommendations to deal with the dreaded tooth ache:
Take a Look Online
It can't hurt to do a bit of quick research online and there are countless websites out there that provide you with plenty of dental information.
Consult a doctor
If you are suffering from an infection, medication prescribed by your doctor may clear up the problem without needing to see the dentist. Of course, there are some limitations to what a doctor can diagnose in terms of tooth pain, so you may end up needing to see a dentist.
Wash Out Your Mouth
The first thing you should do if you are suffering from any kind of tooth pain is to rinse your mouth out with salt water. Although this might seem like an old wives tale, there is actually some scientific merit behind this. Salt is antibacterial and gentle on the teeth. In fact, in an emergency situation you can create a toothpaste using salt and bi carb soda.
See a Specialist
Most dentists are very capable of diagnosing the source of tooth pain and providing you with some relief. If possible it pays to have a second opinion in this area so that you can choose which method of treatment is right for you.
It can also help you assess whether a visit to the dentist is the best course of action. If you are suffering from tooth pain seek treatment as soon as possible you may find that you have just avoided some nasty complications.

Natalie's Review
Faustino Rosado Tempranillo 2010, D.O.C.A., Rioja, Spain: Vintages Wine Panel: Faustino Martinez's Rosado is made with 100% Tempranillo. The fruit macerates on the juice only 8-10 hours at low temperatures before it is bled off. The wines are then fermented and matured in stainless steel.

Syngenta to invest in new U.S. genetics research facility
Syngenta announced today that it plans to construct a new state-of-the-art biotechnology research facility adjacent to its existing research campus in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The $71 million investment, which is scheduled to begin in June 2011, will focus on discovering and developing new agronomic traits to bring innovative solutions to growers across the world.
"This investment demonstrates our commitment to R&D and to remain at the forefront of plant genetics research," said Sandro Aruffo, Syngenta Head of Research and Development. "The advanced technologies that will be implemented at this new site will accelerate our R&D efforts to develop agronomic traits that will enable crops to better withstand complex environmental challenges."
Building on the recent successful launches of Agrisure Viptera™, Agrisure Artesian™ and Enogen™, research at the site will focus on traits that can better tolerate climate variability, combat plant stresses such as drought, and enhance crop productivity and plant performance. In addition to the current focus on corn and soybean, research will be expanded to incorporate other crops such as sugar cane, cereals, rice and vegetables.
The facility will feature research laboratories and sophisticated growth environments including climate-controlled greenhouses and precision growth chambers. It is expected to be fully operational in the second half of 2012.

It's something we've come to expect. A player is suspended for an action on the field, but he doesn't begin serving that suspension immediately because he files an appeal of the suspension, hoping to get it reduced or overturned.
Thus it is with Ubaldo Jimenez, suspended for throwing at Troy Tulowitzki in a game on Sunday. He'll file an appeal:
The players' union said in a statement Tuesday that Jimenez has requested an appeal of his ban for intentionally throwing at Colorado's Troy Tulowitzki during a spring training game Sunday. Major League Baseball suspended and fined Jimenez on Monday.
Jimenez is scheduled to start Cleveland's second game of the season Saturday against Toronto.
Eventually, this appeal will be heard. Generally, the parties wait until the player's team comes to New York for an in-person discussion at MLB headquarters, though you'd think someone might introduce MLB to the concept of "teleconferencing." The Indians don't come to New York until the end of June. So maybe we'll have to wait until then. Or not, depending on how they decide to adjudicate this.
For more on Ubaldo and the Indians, please visit Let's Go Tribe and SB Nation Cleveland.

Croydon Council offer free home insulation
4:00pm Saturday 30th June 2012 in News
Residents can get free home insulation after the launch of a new council scheme.
Working alongside Climate Energy, Croydon residents can benefit from free installation of cavity wall and loft insulation.
All Croydon homeowners and private residents can apply for the offer, regardless of income, savings or if any benefits are claimed. To arrange a survey residents can call free on 0800 358 6663.
Councillor Jason Perry, cabinet spokesperson for planning, regeneration and transport, said: "According to The Energy Saving Trust, the average home in the UK could save around £300 a year on energy bills by installing basic energy saving measures such as loft and cavity wall insulation.
"In these difficult economic times it makes sense to take advantage of this great offer which will not only save residents money but also make their homes greener for the future."

text: Ok, so let me lay the facts out first (excuse my spelling mistakes, I'm from Belgium so flemish speaking) i'm fairly new to vaporizing, about seven eight months or so and the first vaporizer I bought was the mflb, took me not too long to get to know it and i liked it alot ! then, I bought the iolite, wich i liked because i felt like it could deliver bigger punches but the one big problem for me was that it made me caugh. ok, so then i got the wispr, version two of iolite, wich was essentially the same as the iolite, not bad at all but I still liked the mflb much more. then, I bought the atmos raw....yes, I know, I'm sorry.... a little later I had the inhalater, but actually I used the pax before that, bought the inhalater first but didn't used it untill I had the pax for awhile, wich I really really liked, the looks, the size, the everything. I dind't use the inhalater mainly because I didn't understand it and the mesh screen in the mouth tip looked not fine enough so I would get plant material in my mouth or lungs. after wandering on the inhalater fc thread I discovered I could just crumble my material between my fingers, it wouldn't go trough the sreen and still did the job perfectly. so, after just a few uses I was in love, the inhalater, in my eyes, outvaped the pax on most levels, especially being more easy to clean, more economic on the greens and ease of use with the dial and easy way of fillilng the chamber....Pax still stayed close. So, hang on, almost to the point, a week or so ago I pre ordered the cera loose leaf because it looks like this is the one that's going to beat all the rest (still thinking about ordering the inhalater xp because just imagine, an awesome vaporizer being even beter...?????) anyway, part of the point is that I know a little bit about portable vapes nearly not enough like most of you regulars here but still... so now half an hour ago, i just wanted to use the mflb again, after literally months of not being used (their batteries still are a pain in the ***) so I filled it up, damn, because it had been for so long I ground double the amount I needed (still not enough for the pax or inhalater) and hey, I had this bright idea, first, look for the glas stem (last weeks on the mflb I didn't use the glas straw anymore and sucked right on the box itself) then I wrapped a bit of tape around one edge so it would tightly fit in one of the plastic (silicon?) tubes that came with the inhalater, this tube fitted tightly in my vapor lung, an AWESOME...what? again? ok....AWESOME !!!!! thing I also disovered on this forum i made it out of a two liter water bottle so it's pretty nice. I pushed the battery for a few seconds and then started to pull on the bag of the vapor lung....never had I seen bigger denser clouds then now..WTF???? I did two full vapor lungs and whow man !! I am so surprised at the power this little box has, I now feel a little bit like I micht not use any of the mentioned above vaporizers much more. and the great thing is, after a few more hits the material is still greener then green, they look like I can go on and on and on.... ok, sorry for the long post, just had to tell you this

We're used to freezing temperatures here in Alabama in the winter time, but it's pretty rare for us to see temperatures in the teens. With the temps dropping, the heat is being turned up and people are getting prepared.
At Allgas, a propane company, they have seen business double, particularly in the past two days as citizens gear up for next week. People are getting tanks filled and hoping to keep their homes warm.
"We are seeing a big increase in the amount of people," said Steve Robinson, who serves as the branch manager for Allgas in Montgomery. "We are staying real busy. Drivers out delivering gas to the houses and us filling cylinders here, it's an all day event. We expect them to continue coming in on a regular basis while it's cold."
Albert Chaney, a Montgomery resident, while talking about his propane tank said, "I don't want it to go out. You got to stay warm. It's cold, so you have to have some kind of heat."
The frigid forecast has some dreading the bitter cold.
"It doesn't even feel like Alabama anymore. It feels like New Jersey. It needs to get warm fast. I cannot deal with this," said one Montgomery resident we spoke to Friday.
"We're Alabamians. We don't play cold weather. We like warm weather," said another bundled up resident we caught up with.
"I've been shopping for winter coats and trying to find gloves. They're sold out everywhere for my son right now and he needs them," said Courtney Patton.
Meanwhile, local shelters continue to accommodate those who have nowhere to go, helping get them out of the dangerous elements.
"We get those individuals on the streets into our shelter so no matter what their background is, we try to set them up and give them a safe place to stay," said Jason Davis with the Montgomery Salvation Army.
"On any given cold night, we always leave our doors open and we house as many as we can," added Ronald Smith with Friendship Mission.
Authorities are urging pet owners to take certain steps to protect our furry friends.
Montgomery County Humane Officer Scott Hill said: "When they don't have the proper warmth, it's really hard for them to fight off upper respiratory infections and other illnesses. If you're going to leave them outside, they need to have a shelter that consists of three walls, a door and a roof. Make sure they have hay or blankets-something in there to keep them warm, keep their body temperature up."
And for some people, the cold weather is costing them as they turn up the heat in their homes to stay warm and some may not be able to pay their bills.
For those who may fall into the gap of not having the means to pay their gas or power bill, spokespeople with Alabama Power and Alagasco say they won't turn off the service when temperatures dip significantly.
Sherry Goodman with ALAGASCO says when temperatures drop below 32 degrees they won't shut off anyone's service.
Goodman also added the company tried to work with customers who have difficulty paying their bill.
Ike Pigott with Alabama Power says the same.
Although there is no certain degree the company sets as a standard to keep the electricity on he said if the weather puts customers in danger, they will do what they can to make sure they're safe and warm.
The Alabama EMA is also encouraging people to prepare for dangerous winter weather.
Here are a few tips:

Blocking of El Camino Sidewalks

Have you tried calling or talking to the storekeepers? Were they willing to listen? If not, you might check with the "walkability" folks in city hall to get your pet problem areas on their radar. There was a front page article about them in Sunday's PA Daily.
on Jun 11, 2007 at 7:13 am
This is not permitted under our zoning codes. I know they have had problems downtown with similar displays outside shops. However, I have sympathy for the store owners; there is huge competition for customers. They say if one store puts merchandize on the sidewalk then all the stores must do it to compete successfully. It's a form of advertising.

I hope folks of limited mobility as even I am sometimes would always carry a phone with them, and the non-emergency police number to report such barricades.

That's more or less the goal here. World (market) domination and in doing so, the humiliation of between 1 to 8 AI (or human) opponents. It does get slightly more complicated than that, but there in lies the appeal.
The tutorial helps to get ones feet wet where as the fully customisable open game allows you to jump in to a game for you to test your metal (or leather, or one ofread more the hundred or so other commodities). Choosing between farming, mining, manufacturing and retailing (or any combination of the above if you want to take over the whole production chain) gives a wide scope for every game without ever getting bogged down by micro-management.

Do not expect to be excited by animations the excitement comes when you start shutting down your competitors.

Capitalism 2 is an amazing, economic game, which offers very high complexity, not available in current (targeted to "average Joe") games. I would say that it's perfect for students interested in economical aspects of running a company. Branding, marketing, competing with local sellers, selling imported products or create products just from subproducts - reallyread more tons of options and huge fun for those who need a little bit more complexity than current "economical" games offer.
Shame that Capitalism 3 has never appeared.

One of the best things about two-piece projection systems is that they are very flexible. They allow you to watch different types of source material in various aspect ratios, such as 16:9 (widescreen) and 2.35:1 (CinemaScope). Nearly all flat-panel displays are 16:9, so when it comes time to enjoy a movie that was shot in 2.35:1, you will inevitably see black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. This means that you are using less of your plasma or LCD screen's real estate.
Many projector and screen manufacturers offer solutions that let you enjoy more of the screen size for which you paid. Take anamorphic technology, which maintains a constant vertical height regardless of aspect ratio, meaning no horizontal black bars are displayed above and below the image. Screens like Stewart Filmscreen's Director's Choice, for example, feature motorized fabric "masking" panels that move over portions of the screen to eliminate black bars from being projected onto the screen and to improve contrast. "Viewing in the content's native aspect ratio without annoying black bars gives a much more compelling experience," says Joaquin Rivera, vice president of sales at Stewart Filmscreen.
Today's projection systems also allow for more flexible placement of the screen and projector within a room. If your room is long or short from front to back, long-throw and short-throw projectors are available. If there is room behind your screen, you can opt for a rear-projection system where the projector shines on the screen from behind. Projectors can even go in a separate room and fire through a piece of glass. They can be mounted on the ceiling, in cabinetry at seating level or even from below the screen. And despite being very large, projection screens can be installed to disappear from sight when they're not being used. Most manufacturers offer electric models that can descend from the ceiling or ascend from the floor or cabinetry.
Likewise, projectors have very small footprints and can be easily hidden. This feature, combined with the fact that projectors and screens are now advanced enough to create a bright image even when the rooms lights are on, means that more and more people are installing these systems in spaces other than totally darkened basements. "The world of projector possibilities is really opening up," says Jennifer Davis, vice president of marketing for Runco. "Some people think you need total darkness to do projection. Not so, if you have proper lighting control."
Screen manufacturers are also making projection systems more compatible with traditional rooms by creating products specifically designed to combat ambient light, such as Screen Innovations' Black Diamond screen, which uses "ambient light rejecting" technology to reduce light scatter, according to the company.

All rounds turned in for handicap purposes must be played using Equitable Stroke Control guidelines, which set a cap on the score a golfer can turn in on any given hole when posting his score for handicap purposes. For example, you might have scored a 10 (yikes!) on the fifth hole. But based on your course handicap, the ESC guidelines might require that you count that score as a 7 when posting for handicap purposes. Your score is still the total number of strokes you played; your adjusted gross score is that total minus any ESC deductions. (See the equitable stroke control definition linked above for further details.)
Note that only golfers carrying an official USGA handicap need worry about adjusted gross scores.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Louisville Police arrested a man after they witnessed him urinating on a building.
According to an arrest report, Brian Keys, 21, drew attention to himself when he pulled from a stop sign in the path of an unmarked detective vehicle on Rangeland Road. The detective said he had to slam on his brakes to avoid a collision.
Keys then stopped at Liquor Palace on Poplar Level Road, got out of the car and began urinating on the building right in front of customers. He then got back into his car and drove off, even turning without a signal.
The officer pulled Keys over and smelled a strong alcohol odor coming from the car. According to the report, Keys said he had a beer, a shot and a drinking problem. The detective stated he was hard to understand.
Keys failed several sobriety tests and refused several others, however, the detective said Keys was swaying from side to side while he was given instructions.
Keys is being charged with DUI, failure to use proper signal, disorderly conduct and indecent exposure.

As of March 2013, Allen Hospital is now stroke certified and the only hospital with that certification in the Cedar Valley.
Starting in 2009, Allen began looking at the Brain Attack Coalition and the American Stroke Association for research and studies on stroke. To get the certification, it then began developing performance measures and standardized care for stroke patients.
Neurology Clinic manager Jen Westendorf said most people don't know there is something that can be done for stroke.
Stroke centers use TPA, a clot-busting medication used to reduce the effects of a stroke.
"The national average for treating patients with TPA is 3 percent," Westendorf said. "At stroke centers, nationally it's about 7 percent. Since we've worked toward this accreditation, it's at least twice that."
Patients must receive this, though, within three hours after their stroke.
Rick Ruport had a stroke in March of this year. He didn't know he was having one, so he didn't go to the hospital until the next morning. Therefore, he was unable to get TPA.
Ruport was in the hospital for 10 weeks, and still meets with a physical therapist three times a week.
He now focuses on stroke awareness, and wants people to know stroke symptoms when they occur.
"People say I'm fine, and don't go to the emergency room or go see their doctor. They don't make that call," Ruport said.
More information on Allen Hospital's certification and stroke awareness can be found at www.allenhospital.org.

(Editor's Note: This article was first published in the July 2001 issue of Campaigns & Elections magazine.)
Back in 2001, Campaigns & Elections asked more than two dozen top consultants to offer their advice on how to hire the right political professionals. With campaigns already staffing up for 2012, we thought it would be a good time to highlight advice from one of the founders of the professional political industry—Joe Napolitan.
Napolitan offered his 40 questions every candidate should ask of a potential consultant before making a hire. It covers everything you would have thought of and more:
1. How long have you been in business?
2. How large is your staff?
3. What campaigns have you worked on?
4. What was your specific role in those campaigns?
5. Do you belong to any professional associations, such as AAPC or IAPC?
6. What do you do best in a campaign?
7. Do you work for both Democrats and Republicans, or stick to one party?
8. How do you communicate your recommendations to the campaign?
9. What was your work experience before becoming a consultant?
10. Are you a specialist in reaching any particular demographic group of voters?
11. How much do you know about this state/region?
12. Have you ever done campaigns in this state?
13. When and for whom?
14. Can we have the names of four or five clients you have worked for that we can contact as references? (Note: It's critical to contact these references.)
15. What is your fee structure? Flat fee or do you work on a commission basis?
16. How much time are you personally prepared to devote to this campaign?
17. Would you mainly do the work yourself or would most of the work be done by others on your staff? If so, who are they and what is their background?
18. What other campaigns are you working this year?
19. Have you won any awards for your political work?
20. Have you written any books, papers or articles that we can read?
21. Do you work only in the United States or in other countries as well?
22. Do you have any personal contacts with groups whose support we might get?
23. Have you ever been fired from a campaign? If so, why?
24. Have you ever quit a campaign? If so, why?
25. Have you ever been sued because of your political work?
26. Is there anything in your background that might harm the candidate or this campaign?
27. Are you available on weekends for telephone calls or occasional meetings?
28. What other consultants have you worked with in campaigns?
29. How much control do you expect to have in a campaign and in which areas?
30. Do you have a standard contract form? May we see it?
31. Have you ever run for office yourself?
32. Have you ever held any staff positions in government?
33. Have you ever held any party offices?
34. How would you describe an ideal working relationship with a candidate?
35. What are the keys to organizing and conducting a winning campaign?
36. Do you give news media interviews on campaigns you are working on?
37. What kind of news media contacts do you have?
38. How long before the election do you like to become involved in the campaign?
39. Can you work with a candidate you don't like?
40. Can you work with a candidate whose ideas you don't agree with?
Joe Napolitan is the CEO of Joe Napolitan & Associates, a Massachusetts-based consulting firm. Napolitan founded the American Association of Political Consultants and has worked on countless Democratic campaigns.

Our Top-Five Most Symbolic Wins during the Marvin Lewis era is completed. A quick rundown.
No. 5: Bengals beat the Buffalo Bills in 2011
A major comeback showing the guts and relentlessness of the new Bengals, surprising many that determined that season as a rebuilding year. It's the point in time that you fell in love with the new Bengals -- an appreciation that's continuing to grow today.
No 4: Bengals comeback and beat the Ravens and Steelers in 2009
Much like the win over the Bills, the Bengals comeback against the Steelers and Ravens set the tone for a postseason run by destroying the AFC North.
No. 3: Bengals beat the Lions in 2005
Bengals claim the AFC North and punch their first ticket to the postseason in 15 years.
No. 2: Bengals defeated the undefeated Chiefs in 2003
Ten games into the Marvin Lewis era, the Bengals defeated an undefeated Kansas City Chiefs squad. Perhaps defined as the greatest win and most symbolic victory during the Marvin Lewis era.
No. 1: Bengals beat the Steelers in 2012
Not only did the Bengals knock the Steelers out of the postseason, Cincinnati returned to the postseason in consecutive seasons. Something they haven't done in 30 years.
We felt that the Bengals win over the Chiefs and Steelers were interchangeable. It's perfectly acceptable to feel that the Bengals win over Kansas City was far more symbolic, only because of the era and 15 years that preceded it. If we included an honorable mention group, some of the games that we'd include would be the Bengals win over the Packers in 2009, comeback win over the Ravens in 2004 and the win over the Steelers in Pittsburgh in 2006.
What are your thoughts?

The Department of Defense has notified congress 800,000 civilian employees might have to be furloughed.
The move is a part of the sequester that could bring $46-billion in across the board cuts on March 1st.
There are almost 5,000 civilian defense employees on the Rock Island Arsenal, according to a spokesperson. The union that represents the employees say there are 8,000.
Arsenal and union officials do not know how many local civilian employees would be put on unpaid leave.
What they do know is employees would have one day a week of forced leave for 22 weeks, which means they will lose 20% of their pay.
"The Rock Island Arsenal impacts the community by about 18%, 19%, 20% cut 20% of your spending capacity out of that," American Federation of Government Employees Local 2119 Craig Flenker said. "It will work it's way through the whole economy, you just can't avoid it."
The Defense Department will start to issue letters in the middle of March.
The letters will give civilian employees 30 days notice that the furloughs will start at the end of April. The 22-week furlough will go until the end of September.

Twitter for BuddyPress Poll
Would you rather have a dedicated login/twitter integration or use a separate twitter login such as twitconnect for the connect part and a separate app for sending receiving tweets? PLEASE SAY BELOW.
The problem currently is there are connect/login plugins and then there is something like BuddyStream which requires a user to also approve another plugin access to Twitter after they have already used a login/connect. I would rather have one login with ability to send receive tweets but many already use connect plugins.
You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Ok, I may be tagging myself as a noob here, but here's my question (still unanswered after an hour of google, and searching MP). I want to start keeping a log of lead climbs I do, with info on grade, conditions, gear, partners, etc. But, I'm too lazy to build (and maintain), any kind of spreadsheet, or make a log out of a blank notebook. I want some kind of book that just has labeled blanks to fill in, that I can take in my car and fill out at the end of a trip. My dad has a sweet one that he got back in the day in Cali, but I can't seem to find a similar one now, except for the Nomad one (which is way to detailed and wordy for my purposes). Any suggestions? Edit: I forgot to mention that this log-keeping will be done partly for my own entertainment, and partly with the intention of working on an AMGA certification at some point. Not really sure what their requirements for resume format are, but keep that in mind when replying...
Thats an awesome idea! I've actually been trying to make a spread sheet of ski touring ascents and descents but have been wondering if there are any already mad. Hope someone post one on here.
Just found this on rockclimbing.com. This guy has made a log book into a pdf file. Here... www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2345457
Sorry, I just realized you mentioned the Nomad in your original post.
So when is mountain project going to simplify this for us by making a button you can click on that will generate a list of all climbs you have starred including comments and ticks of each? Perhaps "dirtbag deals" is more of what people are after?

MONTAUK, N.Y. (AP) - The Coast Guard has stepped in to help the crew of a commercial fishing boat after its engine compartment started flooding 26 miles from Montauk Point.
The Caitlin & Mairead was being towed back to Montauk Thursday.
The Coast Guard says the 26-foot boat started taking on water around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, and the four people aboard initially were able to pump it out. But by 5:30 p.m., they couldn't keep up with the flooding, and the vessel lost power.
The Coast Guard's Montauk station and Cape Cod air station responded with more pumps and got the water out. No one was injured.
The Coast Guard notes that the crew was prepared with survival gear.
The boat's owner didn't immediately respond to a message Thursday at his Montauk home.
