What's the difference? more details here
For each item make sure you know the name of the physical library, call number, and whether or not it's checked out, library use only, etc.
Call numbers are on the spine of the book; learn how to read them so you can find what you need on the shelves.
Search OskiCat for both primary and secondary sources. Examples:
vietnamese immigra*
southeast asian* immigra*
portuguese california
asian american* sport*
japanese american* baseball
chinese american marriage*
chinese american women
chinese american famil*
african american* california
chinese california
hmong united states
hmong american*
jew* boston
white* race identity united states
wine* migrant labor*
* = truncation symbol/wildcard for variant word endings
ex: immigra* = immigrant, immigrants, immigrating, immigration...
If you're getting too many irrelevant results (ex: vietnamese american* retrieves a lot of things about the Vietnam War) try pulling down the "keyword" menu to "subject" to search by official subject headings
subject: vietnamese americans
Looking for official subject headings:
keywords: national identity
keywords: national identity american
look at long form of records for official subject headings:
subject: national characteristics american
add other useful keywords:
keywords: national characteristics american* immigra*
if you know the name of a person or organization, search it both as an author and as a topic:
author: gamio, manuel
author: irish american benevolent
Try out these OskiCat features:
Search an article database to find citations (title, author, title of journal, date, page numbers) for articles on a particular topic. The Library gives you access to over 200 article databases covering different disciplines.
1. Think about which academic disciplines might write about your topic. Examples: literature, film, anthropology, history...
2. Find the appropriate article database by subject (academic discipline or department). Look for "Recommended" databases.
Library home > Articles > Article Databases by Subject
Library home > Articles > Article Databases by Subject > H > History > Historical Abstracts

Advanced Search
1. nanking massacre
advanced search also allows you to limit to certain years of publication (1980-2000, for example), to specific disciplines (ex: African American studies) etc.
Once you've searched a database to find articles, you may need to use to link to a PDF or html file if the full text is not immediately available. Each database is a bit different, but a good rule of thumb is this: when you see the Uc-eLinks icon click on it to view your article access options, which can range from full text to a call number to an Interlibrary Loan request:
For more information, here's a tutorial on using UC-eLinks.
Primary sources can be found in a variety of library tools:
For specific search strategies, see the Library's Guide to Finding Historical Primary Sources
Learn more about your topic in advance:
Use the bibliographies of secondary sources and reference sources to find citations to specific primary sources; search OskiCat to locate them on campus, or ask for assistance at the Library.
Search OskiCat for primary sources using keywords and adding terms that denote primary sources, such as:
-personal narratives
-early works to 1800

Bask under sparkling lights amid velvet drapes and dark woods. At NineThirty, California cuisine is remixed with farm-fresh ingredients and seasonal specialties while signature cocktails unite with boutique sake.
Chef Dakota was born and raised in Lancaster, California before moving to Santa Fe, Mexico at the age of 12. While she has lived all across the United States including Arizona, Texas, and Florida, one thing remains the same as she spent many hours in the kitchen with her mother, suspense novelist Charmaine Coimbra. According to Chef Weiss, her mother is who she acquired her love for food, appreciation of fresh products and flair in the kitchen. She attended and graduated top of her class from Scottsdale Culinary Institute in 1997 where, shortly after, she worked under Chef Jeff Drew at Coyote Café and spent three years there cultivating her talents. She then spent six years working for Ritz-Carlton including the Ritz-Carlton in Atlanta where she made a name for herself working closely with Chef Bruno Menard and returned to Los Angeles to work for Jer-ne Restaurant and Bar at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina Del Rey. Soon after, Chef Weiss worked at Sunset Tower Hotel's Tower Bar and moved to Philadelphia to help open Stephen Starr's restaurant Parc. Although she has lived and traveled to other parts of the country, Chef Weiss will always consider Southern California home and worked at Hotel Shangri-La in Santa Monica before arriving at W Los Angeles.
Join us in The Backyard or NINETHIRTY to check out Chef Dakota's cuisine.
Chef Dakota's Smoked Shrimp with Fried Green Tomatoes
Smoked Shrimp:
1 lb peeled and deveined gulf coast shrimp
5 garlic cloves (brunoise)
1 sweet onion (small diced)
6 oz mesquite wood chips
1/8 cup water.
Using a 4 inch deep pan add your wood chips and water. Put onto a stove and turn the flame on high. When you see the chips start to smoke shake them a bit to agitate the flame. Once it catches on fire place the raw shrimp in a perforated 2 inch deep pan over the flames. Cover the pan and set to the side to allow time to smoke. Give it about 25 mins. Once smoked add them to a pan with oil in it and sauté with garlic, onions and season with sea salt.
Fried Green Tomatoes:
4 green tomatoes (sliced 1/4 inch thick)
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon thyme leaves, fresh (chopped)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
In a bowl add all ingredients except the buttermilk and the tomatoes. Mix it well. Place the sliced tomatoes into a bowl with buttermilk, coat it well. Then shake it off and place into the flour mixture. Repeat this step twice. In a shallow pan with blended oil add the tomatoes and fry on each side until a beautiful golden brown color. Place them on a plate with a paper towel to soak up the extra oil. Season them with salt and pepper.

Henry Blodget's back - and suggests MSN will have to merge
By From the Web - Source: Tom's Hardware | 0 comment
From the suburban calm of Cherry Hill, N.J., one of the Internet's most notorious figures has launched a Web log. Merrill Lynch's Internet analyst at the top of the bubble - later disciplined over conflicts of interest - is the man behind www.internetoutsider.com. "Wading back into the Web waters after a few years away," Henry Blodget wrote. "Thanks in advance for including me."
In his first posting, he suggests that Microsoft may well have to pursue a merger if it wants MSN to survive. There's also a link to a 12-page research report titled, "The Web War is Over - And Microsoft Lost."

Christine Aguilar | Nov 10, 2012 | Comments 0
December is not here yet but already the magic of Christmas wins Paris. The traditional festive illuminations season began after Galleries Lafayette and Louis Vuitton Spring has unveiled its windows designed by Christian Dior ambassador with a sublime, Marion Cotillard.
Dressed by the famous fashion house which she is the face, the French star was a modern elegance in a black coat with charm surrounded by a large metal buckle waist high range. Sublimating her curves, the room offered a seductive neckline and discreet glamor and sculpted her silhouette with two pockets at the hips, providing a peplum effect. To complete her look, satin stilettos with pointed ends, hot red nail and a retro bun & it was just amazing.

A federal judge has sentenced a CSRA food ministry service's founder and his son to 7 years in federal prison.
Wesley Joseph Wingo, who founded Angel Food Ministries, and his son Andrew were sentenced on money laundering and conspiracy charges Thursday in U.S. District Court. Wingo's wife, Linda, was sentenced to five years of probation for concealing criminal activity.
The tax-exempt ministry in Monroe was supposed to provide food to the poor at discounted prices. Investigators say Wingo used millions of the charity's money to buy jewelry, cars, and gambling trips.
Angel Food Ministries shut down in September of 2011 after 17 years in operation. At the time of its closing, the ministry worked with nearly 30 charities in the Augusta area.
Joseph and Andrew Wingo pleaded guilty in February to conspiracy to commit money laundering. Linda Wingo pleaded guilty to concealing criminal activity. A former employee, Harry Michaels, has also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

VPX - Meltdown Fat Incinerator - 72 BioLiquid Capsules
VPX Meltdown Fat Incinerator combines the synergistic fat burning power of beta andrenergic agonists (MethylSynephrine) and alpha andrenergic antagonists (Yohimbine HCl, alpha-Yohimbine and 11-Hydroxy Yohimbine). In simpler terms VPX Meltdown Fat Incinerator activates fat burning mechanisms in your body while simultaneously blocking the internal biochemistry that prevents you from burning fat by guarding one of the body's key fat burning hormones called Norepinephrine (NE). When fat burning is both promoted and protected at the same time they call this effect "synergistic". So, instead of 9 (activation factor) + 8 (protection factor) equaling 17 on the fat burning scale, this synergistic combination has a geometric effect of 72!
VPX Meltdown Fat Incinerator Highlights:
The powerful fat loss agent, 11-Hydroxy Yohimbine is of great interest here because regular Yohimbine yields a roughly 32% increase in the fat burning hormone, NE. Compare this to 11-Hydroxy Yohimbine that yields an even more impressive research proven 56% increase in the potent fat burning hormone, NE. We are only now just studying how the combination of the other Yohimbine compounds in Meltdown work in concert to increase NE even further. With the combined effect of alpha-Yohimbine and 11-hydroxy Yohimbine contained in Meltdown blocking both alpha-1 and alpha-2 receptors, my hypothesis is that we are looking at a 81%+ increase in NE!
This is only the tip of a large scientific iceberg Meltdown!
Synergistic Tri-Matrix
Yohimbine HCl, 11-Hydroxy & Alpha Yohimbine 11-Hydroxy Yohimbine 11-hyrdoxy Yohimbine is the active metabolite of Yohimbine. Research indicates that 11-hydroxy Yohimbine has a potent alpha-2 adrenergic receptor affinity that significantly increases lipid metabolism. 11-Hydroxy Yohimbine exhibits a 10 fold increase in the binding ability to alpha-2 adrenergic receptors. The half-life of 11-hydroxy Yohimbine is approximately 8 to 11 hours compared to Yohimbine's two hour half-life. 11-Hydroxy Yohimbine offers definite advantage over Yohimbine in alpha-2 adrenergic receptors binding affinity and the longer half life in blood. The body converts Yohimbine to 11-hydroxy metabolite in the liver. Consequently, it is Meltdown's unique Yohimbine Tri-Matrix that works synergistically to increase unmatched norepinephrine- induced fat burning in both potency and duration of action.
Methyl Synephrine (MS) -- as previously mentioned MS is a beta-3 AA just like real Clenbuterol! The magnificence of a beta-3 Andrenergic Agonist lies in its ability to burn fat without causing anxiety like its chemical cousin, ephedrine which is a beta-2 Andrenergic Agonist.
The active Methyl PEA isomer, R-beta Methylphenylehtylamine – found botanically in nature and found also in chocolate, is a simpler form called PEA has been called the love compound. Think of Meltdown's R-beta Methylphenylehtylamine as the love compound in overdrive dramatically enhancing the sexual experience and many other aspects of fat loss and is trademarked by VPX as Craving Control and Mind Control Matrix for its potent ability to shut down appetite and eliminate carbohydrate cravings.
MTTA is another really impressive research proven compound that causes apoptosis or systematic death to fat cells. Meltdown is also designed to increase mental clarity and mood with minimal jitteriness while burning fat at an unprecedented rate.
VPX Meltdown Fat Incinerator FAQ's
I want to lose weight and do not know where to begin, what do you guys recommend as far as your products are concerned?
You cannot go wrong with our Meltdown Capsules! Which have been University test to burn fat for 6+ hours! Talk about a great way to kick start your metabolism. Start your day by taken a full dose (3 capsules) of Meltdown. Another important factor into dropping weight is to keep the furnace burning! You can do that by eating every few hours. If you are consistently on the go and need a Meal quick I would recommend our Zero Impact Meal Bars. These are a great way to ensure you get quality calories and continue to keep your Metabolic Rate up.
Should I take Meltdown with or without food?
To get the most profound fat burning effect, take Meltdown on an empty stomach; this will insure that you get maximal absorption in the shortest amount of time! More importantly, there are several compounds in Meltdown that free up stored fat from muscle tissue and adiposites. Eating raises insulin and insulin prevents this from happening. You can combine Meltdown with NO-Synthesize to take advantage of both Meltdown's potent fat burning effect and NO-Synthesize's anti-catabolic (muscle sparing) effect and anabolic (muscle building) properties. For effective long term fat loss you must build or at least maintain muscle because fat is burned inside of muscle tissue and muscle is metabolically active tissue (increases your metabolism)!
How is your new Meltdown different from Redline?
Meltdown and Redline are comprised of many different ingredients. Redline is formulated to produce a stimulant/energy/fat-burning effect, while Meltdown is formulated to produce a Euphoric/fat-burning effect that has the ability to curb your appetite and eliminate carb cravings. Meltdown is a super potent fat burning that increases mental acuity beyond your wildest imagination. There are two great articles in this publication on Meltdown. Read these and then take some Meltdown – it will take your mind and fat burning 10 years into the future!
Is it true that women store fat differently than men?
Yes, it's a scientific fact that women store fat predominantly in their hips, thighs and of course, their buttocks. This is because these female "problem" areas contain tiny signaling centers called "alpha receptors". These nasty receptors create a type of metabolic roadblock for the fat-loss hormones in our body. This "roadblock" prevents fat-loss signals from reaching these problematic fat storing areas where women need them most. Even with diet and exercise you can still have a tough time quickly losing weight in these areas unless you correctly stimulate the "alpha" receptors in the lower body. Meltdown deactivates these receptors to activate site-specific fat loss in the hips, thighs and butt!
How does Meltdown target women's problem areas?
If you're reading this article, then you've probably heard of Yohimbine. Yohimbine is what scientists call an "alpha antagonist", which simply means it binds to and deactivates specific "alpha receptors" found in the hips, thighs and butt. This action is critical because it increases blood flow to the fat cells causing stubborn fat to be released into the bloodstream allowing it to be burned. Yohimbine is one of the only substances that has this targeted fat burning effect in the body. What's even more amazing is that Meltdown contains two NEW forms of Yohimbine that you won't find in any other fat burner! One is called "Alpha Yohimbine" and the other is called "11-Hydroxy Yohimbine". Together these two new substances exert a fat-burning effect for up to 8 hours! Imagine a supplement that burns fat up to 8 hours — Meltdown really is THAT powerful!
How has Meltdown revolutionized the fat-loss supplement industry?
Real Research with Proven Results – not the manufactured single-ingredient claims that most other supplement companies are using to peddle their obsolete products! Meltdown is so effective that it has broken new ground and completely revolutionized the supplement industry and is the first fat-loss supplement to be scientifically proven to be 350% more effective at raising metabolism then ephedrine. Not only did Meltdown destroy ephedrine on its own, Meltdown crushed the Ephedrine / Caffeine stack by a whopping 67% as well! No other supplement on the market can make that claim, making Meltdown the Undisputed King of the Fat-Burners!
Why does Meltdown work so effectively at burning fat?
If you're reading this magazine, then you've probably heard of Yohimbine. Yohimbine is what scientists call an "alpha antagonist", which simply means it binds to and deactivates specific "alpha receptors". This action is critical because it increases blood flow to the fat cells causing stubborn fat to be released into the bloodstream allowing it to be burned. Yohimbine is one of the only substances that has this targeted fat burning effect in the body. What's even more amazing is that Meltdown contains two new forms of Yohimbine that you won't find in any other fat burner! One is called "Alpha Yohimbine" and the other is called "11-Hydroxy Yohimbine". Together these two new substances can exert a fat-burning effect for up to 8 hours! Imagine a supplement that could burn fat for up to 8 hours — Meltdown really is that powerful!
I want to get bigger and leaner. Can I stack Meltdown in conjunction with N.O. Shotgun & N.O. Synthesize?
It is recommended that you consume a serving of N.O. Shotgun 15 to 20 minutes pre-workout and N.O. Synthesize immediately after training. However, if you are really hardcore, recent research indicates that there is an even more effective way to use the N.O. Shotgun & N.O. Synthesize stack. This cutting edge research proves that this stack is even more potent if you begin to drink Shotgun 20 minutes prior to training and then continue to sip it during the first half of your training. Then you would begin to drink Synthesize during the second half of training and continue to sip Synthesize for 20 minutes post training. Again, this alternative approach is only for the truly hardcore. When adding Meltdown to the Shotgun/Synthesize stack make sure that you use Meltdown either five hours after or five hours prior to using Shotgun because both Meltdown and Shotgun contain stimulants. On non-training days, consume one Meltdown as directed on the bottle. If your budget permits, it would be wise to take Synthesize everyday including non-training days. While creatine reaches its peak in about a week, Beta-Alanine can take up to six weeks to reach its full potential within the muscle.

Man freed in chef murder appeal
2:56pm Wednesday 16th May 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
A man found guilty of a 2004 murder is to be freed on bail after the prosecution announced it was not opposing his appeal against conviction.
Sam Hallam, 24, was present in the dock at the Court of Appeal in London for the dramatic turn of events.
There were cheers and tears in the public gallery as Lady Justice Hallett said the court would give its ruling in the case on Thursday - but that Hallam would be released on bail on Wednesday afternoon.
Earlier, the court heard from his QC that Hallam was the victim of a "serious miscarriage of justice".
Hallam was 18 when sentenced to life at the Old Bailey in 2005 and is now 24.
He was convicted of the murder of trainee chef Essayas Kassahun, 21, who died after being attacked by a group of youths on the St Luke's estate in Clerkenwell, London, in October 2004.
After announcing the granting of bail, Lady Justice Hallett turned to the dock and asked Hallam: "Do you understand what is going on? Are you sure you are all right?".
The judge explained to him that "we have to go on with the hearing", adding: "That is what we have to do."
Smartly-dressed Hallam stayed in the dock as the judges continued to hear submissions from his QC Henry Blaxland.
At the outset of the proceedings Mr Blaxland told lady Justice Hallett, sitting with Mr Justice Openshaw and Mr Justice Spencer, that a miscarriage of justice was brought about by a combination of factors - including failure by the police to properly investigate Hallam's alibi and by non-disclosure of material by the prosecution that "could have supported his case".

I've been working as a television reporter in LA almost 32 years and I did something this week that I've never done! I went to one of those ceremonies where famous people put their hands and feet in cement blocks which end up becoming part of the concrete mosaic of such things in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Then, people walk all over them. They take lots of pictures of them too.
Thursday, it was John Goodman's turn. For the record I LIKE JOHN GOODMAN! Excellent actor! I've enjoyed his work going back to "Roseanne" and even just a couple of days ago when I watched the movie "Flight". So, when photographer Armando Hernandez and I got to the Chinese I wondered what he'd be like??? Would he put his tootsies in the cement like Fred Flintstone's generally not so graceful approach? Would he have that big grin that's so John Goodman? Would he talk A LOT about himself and his career? Or, would he be humble, keep it short and sweet and follow the directions on the steps one takes into immortality? He didn't disappoint. It was a neat little ceremony. He thanked Roseanne Barr, the Coen Brothers who were there and his family. T Bone Burnett was the emcee. During the "cement ceremony" he graciously followed directions and gave camera people huge grins saying "I'm doing this for you!" Followed by a toothy smiley face!
As I stood around looking at all the other feet and hands in cement I noticed those of Judy Garland, Bob Hope, Michael Jackson, Gloria Swanson, The actors from Twilight and Harry Potter and so many more. As Goodman, who is much taller than I thought, headed out he left behind his signature in cement, concrete impressions of his feet and hands that many will see for years to come and a good impression on me.

A Maryland man and a Mercer County resident have been sentenced on federal charges stemming from a crackdown on prescription drug trafficking in southern West Virginia.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said Wednesday that 71-year-old Tyler Thorpe of Bluefield received more than four years in prison for distributing the painkiller Dilaudid. Thorpe pleaded guilty in April.
Goodwin says 31-year-old Robert J. Fleek Jr. of Baltimore received a two-and-a-half year sentence for distributing Dilaudid and another drug that's used to help people overcome opioid addiction. Fleek also pleaded guilty in April.
U.S. District Judge David A. Faber sentenced both men on Tuesday.
The cases are the latest resulting from the Bluefield Pill Initiative. Launched in 2011, it targets prescription drug trafficking in Mercer, McDowell and Wyoming counties.

1993 TOPPS GOLD #22 JIM EISENREICH - Beckett Value: $.25
Photo: 10/10
Holy crap, this may be the greatest photo in Royals baseball card history. Ladies and gentlemen, on this day in 1992, Jim Eisenreich became the first player in Royals history to get to Second Base... with second base. No, Jim isn't sliding, he's lounging. In fact, he hit a standing double two outs ago. At that point he sat down next to the bag, reached over, and copped a feel. As he got a nice handful he looked over his left shoulder and said "Hey baby, I guess this gives a whole new meaning to dirtbag." Thankfully the Royals quickly got the 3rd out before Jim could go for third base.
Design: 6/10
I know what you're thinking. "OHEMGEE IS THAT CARD MADE OUT OF RAEL GOLD!?!?!?!" No, no it's not. Someone at Topps found a secret stash of foil and baseball cards have never been the same.
Card Back: 5/10
Damn this card is busy. The photo is a nice touch but everything else is overkill. Nothing really of note in the text other than... woah... Jim Eisenreich had two triples in one game? How could he DO THAT to second base! That three-timing bastard!
Overall Score: 7/10
Jim Eisenreich's 1993 Season:
On a more serious note, I have a lot of respect for Jim. As you may remember, Jim has Tourette Syndrome (which I'm not going to joke about) and spent the 1985 and 1986 season out of baseball. In 1987 he signed with the Royals and put in a few good seasons against all odds. From what I understand about Tourettes, it involves a lot of involuntary tics, which would make everyday life extremely hard, not to mention trying to stay cool at the plate. Jim's 1993 season was played with the Philadelphia Phillies after signing there as a free agent. Jim batted .318/.363/.445 across 394 PA for a 2.5 WAR. Today Jim runs the Jim Eisenreich Foundation for Children with Tourette Syndrome out of Kansas City.

An agreement to lift the restrictions in developing land owned by Cypriots within the Sovereign Base area was signed today, Wednesday, in London, on the occasion of President Anastasiades's official visit to the UK.
The agreement was signed between Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides and Foreign Secretary William Hague at Carlton House, the official residence of the Secretary, in the presence of Anastadiades. Mr Hague commented that there had been a lot of work in this agreement.
The right of the owners to develop their land concerns 15 local administrative units, which make up 78% of the total area of the British bases.
The agreement was announced by Anastasiades on Tuesday night, during a working dinner with the Secretariat of the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK. He noted that it is a significant development which will benefit thousands of people and will give a new dimension in the economy recovery prospects.

It is very sad that The Eagle cannot recognize our youth for their accomplishments. These include the young lady from Lee, Christine Morawiec, who won the New England Punt, Pass and Kick contest in her age group. It also includes the Lanesborough Junior football team winning the Berkshire County championship.

Hi there, i am using a JVC MG330, and having a nightmare with .MOD files, as everyone else seems to be. I have searched the internet thoroughly for a converter that is free and does not give a loss of quality to the converted video, but i have come out empty handed. I am seriously considering selling my JVC, this is a waste of time and money.
Does anyone know of any software that will simply converter these stupid .MOD files so i can use them in Windows Movie Maker, which for what its worth, is a pretty bad programme in itself. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have searched numerous forums and no one of is any help, please prove me wrong..
Surely you're joking about not finding anything about this.
Some of the most bloated threads on this board are on nothing but that very topic
Didn't the camcorder come with any software? If not, install it first and make sure the file plays in Windows Media Player.
If that checks out, rename the extension to .mpg and WMM should be able to read it (disable hide file extensions in folder options).
If the camcorder didn't have any software, get some MPEG-2 decoder (GPL MPEG-2 decoder, ffdshow-tryouts (have to enable it in the settings), or some of the pay ones) or DVD playback software (WinDVD, PowerDVD, etc...), then rename the file extension to .MPG
I dont doubt i havent found anything, I have found information, its just useless. People directing me to websites with .MOD converters with 'free-trials'.
The camcorder came with software to play back with and display videos, but not to encode into different file formats.
All other converters i have tried (such as converting to mpg or avi) lose quality after converted, and are of no use. Not to mention they all have 'free trials' putting a watermark and 30-second limit on my file.
I have tried renaming file extensions, and although the orignial .MOD files do play with PowerDVD or Windows Media, when imported to Windows Movie Maker they only play the audio, no video.
Im not familiar with what an MPEG-2 Decoder is..? Could you possibly explain?
thanks very much.
There is a tutorial from Squidoo.com, a famous reference site (Top 50 online).
How to Play and Convert MOD Video, TOD Video on Mac
In part 4, it will tell you how to convert MOD video to mpg, wmv, or avi.
hi, I recommend you use Nidesoft video converter to convert videos. this converter can convert all formats videos including mod files. you may try it and follow the guide on my signature to do it.
Suggestion: have a try E.M. HD Video Converter. It is a wonderful video converter that lets you not only convert your favorite videos to various HD (high definition) video formats like HD WMV Video, HD DivX Video, HD Xvid Video, HD H.264 Video, HD Quick Time Video, HD MPEG4 Video, HD FLV Video, HD TS Video, etc. but also create Blu-ray folder for PS3 and Blu-ray player. besides, E.M. HD Video Converter can easily burn all videos and AVCHD (mts, m2ts) to DVD, DivX DVD.
Lots of my friends always use it.hope you could like it,too!
For free you have
Isquint and mpeg streamclip
If you want to pay there is
quicktime pro and mod converter
This is probably on equal terms with fmoart factory though i literally just had an issue with ff that the vids just stopped converting so i use this instead. i reckon fmoart factory should definately be considered in view of the fact that there is a time at the bottom which is really helpful.
The MOD format is a kind of older format captured by some camcorders. And there are not so many third party programs on the market can help you to do the conversion work. However, you can turn to Brorsoft MOD Converter to transcode your videos which is designed to deal with MOD files well.

Number 99 November 1996
Index to MAFF UK Food Surveillance Information
Sheets, 1996

30: MAFF UK - Biologically
Active Principles in Natural Flavouring Source Materials and Preparations
(June 1994)
79: MAFF UK - Survey of Pulegone and
Menthol in Peppermint Oils (January 1996)
MAFF has completed a survey of four biologically active principles (BAPs)
(coumarin, safrole, isosafrole and pulegone) and menthol in a range of mint
products and herbal teas. Pulegone was not detected in mint sauces and jellies,
while levels in mint-flavoured sugar, chocolate and gum-based confectionery
products (range, <1-119 mg/kg) and in the one mint liqueur analysed (5 mg/kg)
were all significantly lower than the statutory limits for these products (350
and 250 mg/kg, respectively). Neither safrole nor isosafrole was detected in
any of the herbal teas analysed, while pulegone and menthol were only found in
peppermint and peppermint-containing teas (at levels of <1-27 mg/kg and <1-2602
mg/kg respectively). Although most of the herbal teas (54 samples) did not
contain coumarin, relatively high levels of up to 157 mg/kg (dry teas) were
found in a few of the imported cinnamon-based teas containing flavourings.
Investigations are currently underway to ascertain the source of the coumarin in
these products as the direct addition of BAPs to foods is not permitted.
Coumarin levels in infusions of these teas as consumed ranged from <0.01 to
5.8 mg/kg.
Flavourings are materials which are used to impart taste (excluding
saltiness, sweetness or sourness) or odour, or both, to a food but which are not
intended to be consumed as such. Traditionally, herbs and spices are not
regarded as flavourings. The four main types of flavourings in use in the UK
(i)natural flavouring preparations which are complex mixtures of
aromatic products obtained from plant or animal source materials (e.g. essential
(ii) chemically-defined flavouring substances comprising single
flavouring substances which are either derived from natural materials or are
produced synthetically;
(iii) process flavourings such as thermal process flavourings,
enzymatically or microbiologically derived flavourings and flavourings obtained
as products of biotechnology which are not covered by (i) and (ii) above; and;
(iv) smoke flavourings derived from smoke extracts and condensates
which are used to mimic the effects of traditional smoking.
Some natural flavouring preparations, derived from certain plant source
materials, have been shown to contain natural toxicants known as biologically
active principles (BAPs). The use of BAPs as flavouring substances, either
alone or in a mixture of flavouring substances, is not permitted in the UKor in
other EU Member States. Limits on the levels of 13 BAPs in foods and beverages
to which natural flavourings are added are set under the Flavourings in Food
Regulations 1992, as amended,1,2
which implement the EC flavourings framework directive (88/388/EEC).3
Based on information from MAFF's 1989-1991 inventory of natural flavouring
source materials and preparations,4 a survey of
the concentrations of four BAPs (coumarin, safrole, isosafrole and pulegone),
together with myristicin and menthol, in natural flavouring preparations was
carried out by MAFF Food Science Laboratory, Norwich (now part of MAFF Central
Science Laboratory [CSL]), between 1993 and 1994. The survey was intended to
provide current data on the levels of these substances in flavouring
preparations used by the UK flavourings industry, together with information on
the levels of use of these preparations, thereby allowing an estimate of the
resulting concentrations in foods and beverages to be determined. As reported
previously,4-6 the survey confirmed reports
from the scientific literature that peppermint and cornmint oils contain
pulegone and menthol, that cinnamon and its preparations contain safrole and
that coumarin is found in flouve (sweet vernal grass) oils and cassia. However,
little information was received on the levels of use of these preparations in
As a follow-up to this work, an analytical survey was carried out to
determine the concentrations of pulegone and menthol in manufactured foods such
as mint confectionery, sauces, jellies and liqueurs and, together with levels of
coumarin, safrole and isosafrole, in a range of peppermint, cinnamon-containing
and other assorted herbal teas. The analysis of herbal teas for coumarin was
also intended to follow up some earlier work carried out by MAFF in 1990 which
indicated that detectable levels of coumarin could be found in a few brands of
herbal teas. By determining the concentrations of BAPs in foods directly rather
than estimating them from data on the concentrations of BAPs in flavourings and
the reported levels of use of these flavourings in foods, it would therefore be
possible to compare the BAP concentrations found in the survey with the limits
set by EC and UK legislation.
A total of 118 products, comprising 51 samples of sugar, chocolate and
gum-based mint confectionery and various mint products (mint sauces, jellies and
liqueurs) and 67 herbal and peppermint teas, were purchased from retail outlets
in the London area in August 1994. Details of the ingredients listed on the
product label (including the presence of any flavourings) and, in the case of
herbal teas, the manufacturers' instructions for preparing the teas, were
recorded on receipt.
Samples were analysed by CSL Food Science Laboratory, Torry, using gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in the scanning mode with propyl
benzoate as an internal standard. Samples of mint confectionery and the other
mint products were analysed for pulegone and menthol, while the herbal teas were
analysed for all four BAPs (pulegone, coumarin, safrole and isosafrole) and
menthol. In the case of herbal teas, both dry teas and infusions, prepared
according to the manufacturers' instructions, were analysed. Additional
procedures for sample preparation, extraction and concentration of the BAPs were
developed by CSL.7
The accuracy and precision of the method were determined by "spiking"
around 10 percent of the samples and procedural blanks with the BAPs of
interest. Recoveries of the BAPs in the four herbal teas and infusions ranged
from 83 percent to 117 percent and from 88 percent to 175 percent, respectively,
with coefficients of variance (CVs) of 0-2.4 percent and 0-12.7 percent. The
range of recoveries (and CVs) for the sugar (n=3), chocolate (n=2) and gum-based
confectionery (n=2) were 92-119 percent (0-5.8 percent), 97-109 percent (0-12
percent) and 106-118 percent (0-2 percent), respectively. Results were not
adjusted for recovery. The limit of detection for the method was 1 mg/kg dry
A summary of the concentrations of pulegone and menthol found in mint
confectionery and other mint products is given in Table 1.
As shown, pulegone levels of <1-32 mg/kg dry matter (mean, 13.9 mg/kg) were
found in mint-flavoured sugar-based confectionery products, with the highest
concentration being found in a sample of "extra strong mints". These
levels are similar to those found in a range of boiled and fondant sweets,
jellies, gums and pastilles by Bossi et al.8
(1.3-31.3 mg/kg) and by Chaveron et al.9 (2-21 mg/kg). The
concentration of 32 mg/kg found in the sample of extra strong mints is also
similar to that reported by a major manufacturer of these products.
Lower pulegone levels of <1-12 mg/kg (mean, 4.3 mg/kg) were found in
samples of mint-flavoured chocolate-based confectionery (Table
1), although analytical problems were encountered with some of these samples
due to their high fat content. Of the five samples of chewing gum analysed,
three were found to contain pulegone concentrations in the range, 35-119 mg/kg,
while pulegone could not be quantified in the remainder due to matrix problems.
These levels are higher than those reported by Chaveron et al.9 (5-31 mg/kg) but are lower than an estimated 240
mg/kg derived from level of use data for the USA10
and assuming a maximum pulegone concentration of 2.9 percent in the peppermint
oil, the highest level found in MAFF's repeat survey of mint oils.6
A pulegone concentration of 5 mg/kg was found in the one sample of crème
de menthe liqueur analysed (Table 1) which is at the
lower end of the range of values reported by Bossi et al.8 for five peppermint liqueurs (5-40 mg/kg). Pulegone
was not detected in any of the mint sauces and jellies analysed.
As in the case of pulegone, the highest levels of menthol were generally
found in samples of chewing gum (mean, 3546 mg/kg) and sugar-based confectionery
(mean, 476 mg/kg) (Table 1). Of the sugar-based
confectionery, extra strong mints contained the highest menthol level, at 1224
mg/kg, which is slightly lower than the concentration estimated11 by Linforth and Taylor for the same product (1690
mg/kg). Like pulegone, menthol was not detected in any samples of mint sauce
and mint jelly, while a menthol concentration of 219 mg/kg was found in the mint
liqueur sample.
A summary of the levels of pulegone, menthol, coumarin, safrole and
isosafrole found in peppermint, cinnamon-containing and other herbal teas,
analysed on a dry weight basis, is given in Table 2.
As expected, pulegone was found only in teas containing peppermint leaves and/or
peppermint flavourings, with pulegone being detected in 8 out of the 17
peppermint teas (range, 7-25 mg/kg dry matter) and one of the 12
peppermint-containing teas (27 mg/kg). Menthol was also found in these teas,
although the concentrations varied widely in both the peppermint teas (15-2602
mg/kg) and the peppermint-containing teas (<1-2591 mg/kg). Coumarin was
found mainly in cinnamon-containing teas, being detected in 11 out of 27 samples
of dry tea at concentrations of up to 157 mg/kg, although two other samples, one
of which contained peppermint in addition to cinnamon, also had detectable
levels of coumarin (28 and 31 mg/kg). It is interesting to note that in MAFF's
earlier survey of BAPs in natural flavouring source materials and preparations,4,5 coumarin was not detected in cinnamon powder but was
found in cassia, which is often traded commercially as cinnamon, at
concentrations of up to 2000 mg/kg (0.2 percent). None of the teas analysed in
the current survey contained safrole or isosafrole.
A summary of the levels of pulegone, menthol, coumarin, safrole and
isosafrole found in infusions of the various teas is given in
Table 3. As in the case of the dry teas, pulegone was
found only in peppermint infusions, with detectable concentrations of 0.03-0.45
mg/kg being found in 16 of the peppermint teas and levels of 0.04-0.13 mg/kg
being found in 6 of the peppermint-containing teas. Menthol was also detected
in all but one of these infusions at concentrations of 0.3-32.3 mg/kg and
0.04-9.7 mg/kg, respectively. A total of 22 infusions contained coumarin, with
the highest concentrations being found in the cinnamon-containing teas (0.04-5.6
mg/kg). As for the dry teas, neither safrole nor isosafrole was detected in any
of the infusions analysed.
The levels of pulegone found in the mint confectionery products (<1-119
mg/kg) and in the mint liqueur (5 mg/kg) analysed give no cause for concern, all
being significantly lower than the statutory limits for mint confectionery (350
mg/kg) and mint or peppermint flavoured drinks (250 mg/kg) as specified in the
Flavourings in Food Regulations 1992, as amended.1,2
Neither safrole nor isosafrole was detected in any of the herbal teas analysed,
while pulegone and menthol were found only in peppermint and
peppermint-containing teas, with most at low levels. While the majority of the
herbal teas (54 samples) did not contain coumarin, relatively high
concentrations of up to 157 mg/kg (dry teas) were found in a small number of
imported cinnamon-based teas containing flavourings. Investigations are
currently underway to ascertain the source of the coumarin in these products and
to determine whether or not they comply with UK Regulations. Coumarin levels in
infusions of these teas as consumed ranged from <0.01 to 5.8 mg/kg and
coumarin intakes from these infusions are unlikely to pose any significant risk
to health.

JACKSON, Miss (AP) - The Mississippi Senate has passed a bill to establish an attempted murder charge.
In recent years, similar proposals have died. House Bill 1340 would set punishment at 20 years to life in prison for the crime. Republican Rep. Bill Denny of Jackson, the bill's sponsor, says a specific attempted murder law would prevent would-be killers from receiving lighter sentences simply because the victim lives.
The House and Senate have passed different versions of a bill and have a March 28 deadline to reach a compromise.

you want to, but I have always believed that there was some

Burnley grandma left husband bleeding after attack (From This Is Lancashire)
Burnley grandma left husband bleeding after attack
Updated 1:26pm Friday 7th March 2014 in News
A GRANDMOTHER repeatedly hit her husband over the head after making unkind comments about his 'dying dad', a court heard.
Burnley magistrates were told Anita Lea Stott, 44, struck Brian Stott twice during a drinking session at home and then hit him again, leaving him bleeding from a cut.
Stott, of Parliament Street, Burnley, admitted assault by beating on February 24 and was given a 12-month conditional discharge. She must pay a £15 victim surcharge.
Alex Mann, prosecuting, said Mr Stott, her husband of 22 years, did not support the prosecution.
The couple, who had a relatively happy marriage, had been 'happily drinking' in the evening with a friend.
The defendant suddenly made unkind comments about her husband's father, telling him: 'Your dad's dying. So what ?' The victim called her a name and Stott stood in front of him and hit him on the head.
Stott then knocked a glass off a table, causing it to smash, the friend started clean up and calm the situation and the defendant struck her husband a third time.
Mr Stott called the police to prevent further assault. The defendant had no previous convictions.
Mark Williams, for Stott, said her arrest, being held in the cells and appearing in court had been a harrowing experience for her.

See there are also men subject to DV not like the likes of organisation's like Women's Aid would have you believe.
When a man gets beaten or abused it is harder for the man to come forward because he thinks it makes him look weak, well it does`nt, we are all human and all deserve some help one way or another.

Service for Women's World Day of Prayer
3:00pm Wednesday 26th February 2014 in News
A WOMEN'S World Day of Prayer service is taking place in Upton Parish Church at 2pm on Friday, March 7.
The service has been written by the women of Egypt and has particular relevance this year, not just because of the country's political situation but also because Chris Lamb, who is organising the Upton service, has a daughter and son-in-law working in Egypt.
The service will last about an hour and children from Upton Primary school are taking part.
Everyone is welcome to attend.

About A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue, Inc.
About Our Rescue Group...A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue was
established by a group of dedicated volunteers as the result of the need for special rescue.
The ALL VOLUNTEER, non-profit animal rescue group is dedicated to saving the lives of unwanted pregnant dogs, and cats. Due to the fact that these unwanted pets require more attention than the single adult animal, they're usually euthanized by shelters more frequently than the rest of the other homeless animals. Our pets are generally fostered in our volunteers homes. Foster homes are ALWAYS needed!!!
Come Meet Our Pets...Please visit our website for the adoption site schedule,
Our Adoption Process...The Process:
Our rescues are cared for in foster homes until they are vet checked, able to be spay /neuter, microchipped and current on all vaccines. Once a clean bill of health is given, then the adoption process begins.
Every potential adopter regardless of age, sex, race, creed or religion will be required to fill out an application. All applications will be reviewed by an experienced Adoption Counselor to determine if the best interests of the animal are met. Once the ideal adopter is found, he/she will be given the opportunity to become a part of the animal's life.

I installed the trial version of IntelliJ ultimate and configured various things. I ended up messing up a few things here and there and decided it would be simpler to just reinstalled from the beginning. I tried removing it using add/remove programs (this is windows 8 by the way), and then delete any files I could find relating to it, but when I reinstalled and ran it again, all my plugin settings where still there, and my project that I started was in the exact same state.
How can I clean up all the much from intellij so I can run it again as if it was new?

News: N.O.R.E. Spills Beans On CNN Break-Up, "He Should Have Stood Next To Me" [Video]
Friday, Aug 19, 2011 9:13AM
Former CNN group member N.O.R.E. has come forward to address the reasoning behind his separation from Capone, admitting a past issue in their hometown inspired the move.
Appearing on New York's Power 105.1 radio station this week, N.O. cleared the air.
"That's my brother right and we recently - somebody called me to do a show," N.O.R.E. explained. "The show happened to be in Queensbridge...My drama in Queensbridge has always been over Capone. I don't have beef in Queensbridge. I mean I've handled the beef in Queensbridge, but originally it never started over me -- so as a brother I just felt like he should have stood next to me. I came, I brung all the jewelry I could put together on and I walked through that projects by myself and held it down -- It just really, really hurt me as a friend [not to have him by my side]." ("The Breakfast Club")
In June, Capone confirmed the separation but said N.O.R.E. would always be his brother.
"Capone n Nore could never break up.. Brothers b4 music.. It's my turn ya dig!," Capone tweeted June 9th.
"RT Listen here: @CaponeQB n @noreaga WILL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER .. JUST NOT AS A RAP DUO ON WAX! WE ARE ALL FAMILY TIL THE END! #MILITAINMENT" (Capone's Twitter)
A few months ago, N.O.R.E. announced the news of CNN's break-up after over a decade of releasing music together.
"I'm not making another war report album or another N.O.R.E ALBUM IMMA MAKE THE 1st S.U.P.E.R.T.H.U.G album cause that what's good for now...Diddy my homey can't and would never diss him but he was known for anthems and hits it's safe to say Khaled has been upholding that area...CNN was a great group...Time has changed I must move on...Doesn't it hurt to watch a boxer still box when he's heart isn't in it that's what the group feels like right now...Ok I've said way too much have no more to say I'll hit u after the gym salute" [sic] (57th Ave)
He also hopped on Twitter to remind fans Capone remains a close friend.
"We still homeys brothers family just we both need to do something different musically!!!," N.O.R.E. tweeted June 9th. (N.O.R.E.'s Twitter)

Short. ugh......Genoa break.....Rossi...3-1. Milito. Game's done, liveblog's done and so is my watching Serie A for some time. Don't understand the point if it's going to be like this.
86' Cicinho bundled. Free kick........corner.
85' Nice cross from Cicinho into Aquilani, who heads it over the bar.
84' Milito creates a chance, fires over the bar. Good opportunity for #3 there.
Olivera free kick wide, Montella about to come on. Menez off. A good game from the lad. å
82' Loria gets a yellow for a Milito dive. Why do we even bother watching?
80' I didn't think this could get any worse, I was wrong. Okaka is featuring a new 'do: Rocksteady meets the tall guy from Kid N Play.
Then he runs through Genoa's entire midfield. Nice.
79' Showing Roma's onside goal that wasn't again. Rub it in why don't ya?
77' Menez with a sweet tackle, but Genoa's everywhere. Vuci & Ferrari, Mirko waits for reinforcements...nothin. Aquilani on for Simone. They need a Roman hero today....
Okaka on for Taddei. What's left to lose?
75' Roma attempting to break. Menez fouled....yellow for Juic.
73' Genoa chance in the box saved easily by Doni...they come back and Olivera puts one just wide which would've been 3. God, now we have to add suspensions - though if anything has a chance of being overturned, it's that one - to this.
72' I'm can't wait to hear Spal's presser......Cicinho shown a yellow as Genoa goes on the break.
70' More of the same, Roma back to defending now. I swear, something good must be in store for the future because this is terrible.
This is an absolutely terrible reffing job. Absolutely fucking horrendous. That was MAYBE a yellow.
Aaaaaand Panucci's goal looked perfectly legit. De Rossi red. Wonderful.
PAnucci goal offside???????????? What the fuck....no idea what's happening hear. Panucci goal ruled offside.
65' Genoa with some confidence now. Like to see a sub here, not sure who, but someone. Team needs a boost.
Ferrari fouls Cicinho, free kick......headed out. Roma throw.
63' K, he was onside. Another player was off, which is different discussion altogether.
60' Loria wit some cheeky work to control possession....Cicinho on the ball....and he dribbles through the midfield only for someone, Perrotta maybe, to give away the ball.
Silly coner conceded. Actually, just a bad calll......Milito goal? Wow. 2-1. He looked criminally offside. Huge protests.
58' Sloppy work in midfield right now, no one can keep possession....Cicinho out wide, Genoa wins possession, Milito offside by a nautical mile, ref waits waits until he's written a novella to make the call.
Olivera in for Agent Sculli.
57' Menez and Vuci on the break, they just can't connect in the box. What a chance. Menez's pass a bit behind Miro.
56' Oh Daniele....hammered from 30 just wide of nt.
Palladino in for Gasbarroni.
55' Menez....Vuci turns to shoot and passes...broken up...Gasbarroni....beatiful work, ball lofted in is headed ot by Roma now. Dicey theere. He was all alone down the entire flank.
54' DDR breaks up the attack...Taddei...poor pass into the middle. Have a feeling Okaka could do some things here today. Nice shot saved easily by Doni.
53' Spanish announcers having a fight about Mauri & Amauri, that's all I've got. VCicinhoo cross flies through the top of the 6 yard box. Cripes. No one on the other end.
51' Throw in by Cicinho....working possession....moving the ball around....De Rossi loft a bit too strong for Mirko. Milito's offside on the otheer ennd.
49' Back, two minutes oof game time later.
47' Menez with space o run...he's fouled. That's the only to stop him. Free kick up near the box.....not broadcasting....and the new one s now seemiingly on a delay because we're back to the Menez run...will reload it once the free kick happens...again....easily saved.
46' Menez with some audacious work to win a corner....headed easily iinto Rubinho's arms.
Watching the De Rossi goal, didn't realize he fired in the first header as well. What a player.
A lot of nothing in the rest of the games:
Bologna 0 - Udinese 2
Napoli 1 - Palermo 0
Reggina 0 - Milan 1
Chievo 0 - Torino 1
Juve 1 - Catania 0
The other 4 are nil-nil.
The team looks a bit disjointed, but still with enough quality to get things done. Just have to hope they can continue to keep Genoa out of dangerous positions.
Quick card for Criscito as Genoa is doing anything and everything to stop counters. Could come back to biite them.
44' Vuci with the ball in the box, sends it out, Cicinho crosses to no one, Riise fouls Sculli.
43' There's a certain chhemistry there between Menez and Vucinic. Lovely to see.Jeremy gets a yellow, however.
I think Cicinho has spent twice as much time on the ball as everyone else today. Biava down when Roma had numbers. GOMR's pissed.
41' Roma try to break after the Genoa corner, foul on the way out. Here comes Menez....beautiful ball to an offside Vucinic who would've had the second. Ah well.
39' The stream magically got sound. Guess that happens when you turn the volume up. But all I can hear is spanish spanish spanish...vucinic....spanish...perrotta....bueno. back to mute.
38' Simone gets a yellow for a back of the legs poke. Fair enough.
I'm on my Dutch computer, if you hadn't noticed. Doubles up the vowels when typing quickly.
37' Cicinho's shot with his right foot was too highh earlier, went with the left, same result.
35' Riise sends in a cross to the Jolly Green Giant, Spal is starting to get The Christian Wilhelmsson Look on his face. Good times.
34' GOOMR and Lunchlady Loria with a tag team effort on Milito to save a quality chance on neet.
33' Starting to think that first Genoa goal was good for them. Needed to fight from the start and they're showing serious life noow. On the break...pass to Riise a bit too strong.
32' Riise boots a long ball out for a goal kick. Can take the ginger Norwegian out of the Prem, but you can't take the PPrem out of the Ginger Norwegian.
30' Roma on the break....here's the spark....ball to Mirko tackled well by Criscito. Hey, Menez is playing. Coulda fooled me.
28' The initial header is fired in, Rubinho saves but the rebound is headed right past him and iit's all tied up at the Ferraris.
27' Free kick from GOMR's spot.....fired back to De Rossi....not broadcasting. How wonderful. Retake I guess....GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL DANIELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE
26' Great through ball in, Mirko's clotheslined running onto it, no call. Nice.
25' Ciicinho fires one from 25 over the bar. Goal kick.
24' Alexx just flubs a pass back, luckily there was some help back there with a charging Genoa attacker ready to clean up.
Ugh, this is not looking crisp whatsoever.
22' Some more possession, this time The Fiat clears it out foor a throw. Lumberjack Riise fires one in....De Rossi lofts it, Taddei controls, shoots and it's pushed wide. Fantastic chance there.
20' Milito's taking a beating in there, Genoa giving it back to Mirko & Friends. Another free kick, but Roma haven't really had chances inside the ox to be happy about uet....free kick cleared out, GGenoa on the break but it's picked up by Doni Bear.
18' Genoa works the attack, cross sent in easily saved byAlex.
16' Finally some sustained possession. Amounts in a free kick over by the touch line.....De Rossi over it....looking for GOMR.....it's short.
14' Criscito wipes out Taddei a bit late, nothing called.
13' Simone with a late challenge, ref charged over like he was getting ready to break down a steel door. Luckily no card.
12' Cicinho sends a ball in, comes back out, whistled for the foul.
10' Milito's down in the area after Genoa went on the attack. Inadvertent elbow, maybe?
8' Some nice play in the middle of the pitch between Cicinho and someone else, can't tell because I'm watching a 1950's picture it seems.
Shot, Doni saves. Looked relatively harmless, turned out otherwise.
6' This game definitely could not have got off to a worse start than this. But at least we needn't worry about the 1-0 lead muck up anymore. Silver lining.
3' Wow, 1-0 Genoa. Sculli. No organization in the back and he beats Riise to the ball. How wonderful.
2' Two mins in, I've finally got a stream. No sound, but the header from Mirko on the corner goes just wide.
Daniele's ready. Are you ready?
Official Lineups:
GENOA (3-4-3): Rubinho; Biava, Ferrari, Criscito; Mesto, Milanetto, Juric, Modesto; Jankovic, Milito, Gasbarroni.

SARANAC LAKE — A Saranac Lake man was charged Thursday with driving while his ability was impaired.
Brian R. Todd, 37, was arrested following an investigation by Saranac Lake Police into a personal injury accident, the Saranac Lake Police Department said in a press release.
Todd was driving on Lake Street at about 5:50 p.m. Wednesday when he struck an unoccupied parked vehicle, Saranac Lake Police Chief Bruce Nason said.
Police determined that Todd was under the influence of prescription medication while he was driving, the release said.
Todd's passenger, Alexandria Lafave, 24, of Lake Placid sustained minor injuries and was taken to Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake for treatment, Nason said.
Todd was released on an appearance ticket for Saranac Lake Village Court.
He was neither in the custody of the Essex County Sheriff's Department or the Franklin County Sheriff's Department Friday, according to the departments.

Happy Birthday, America!
Our great country turns 235 years old today.
All across the nation, communities will celebrate the United States' big 2-3-5 with fireworks, parades and backyard barbecues.
Here are five things we at Patch thought you should ponder as you celebrate American independence:
1. As the Founding Fathers approved the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, there were roughly 2.5 million living in America. Today, there are an estimated 311.7 million American citizens.
2. Look up in the sky! It's a bird. It's a plane. It's ... Chinese gunpowder. The U.S. imported $190.7 million in fireworks from China in 2010. At the same time, U.S. companies exported just $37 million worth of fireworks last year. Meanwhile, the U.S. imported $3.2 million worth of American flags in 2010, with $2.8 million of that figure going to China.
3. Texas produced 6.8 billion pounds of beef in 2010, followed by Nebraska (4.6 billion) and Kansas (4.1 billion). Chances are that the beef hot dogs, burgers and steaks you're grilling today came from the Lone Star State or one of its neighbors to the north.
4. The U.S. and United Kingdom, our adversary in 1776, did $98.3 billion in trade in 2010, making the Brits our sixth biggest trade partner.
5. There are more than 90 towns in the U.S. that include the words most commonly associated with our freedom in their names. Leading the way, with 35 total, is "eagle." For example, there is Eagle Pass, TX. The remainder are "liberty" (31), "independence" (11), "freedom" (9), "America" (5). Surprisingly, there is but one town with the word "patriot" in it it: Patriot, IN.

MYRTLE BEACH — Catering to older golfers and those who dont have a lot of time to play a round of golf could be what the City of Myrtle Beach needs to help it operate the Whispering Pines Golf Course more efficiently, city staff hopes.
Assistant city manager Ron Andrews said staff is proposing that Myrtle Beach set aside 40 of the golf courses 200 acres and reconfigure the layout to create a shorter executive course that golfers can get through more quickly. The 40 reserved acres could be used for other park or recreation needs the city may have in the future, he said.
People who are older, like me who dont hit the ball [300] or 400 yards can get through the course more easily, Andrews said.. We dont know that its going to have any more success than what we have now. But well see what happens.
The course, which first opened for play in 1962, is the only city- or government-owned course among approximately 100 on the Grand Strand.
Whispering Pines general manager Alan Chasteen said he worked with Andrews and course superintendent Bob Warner to create a rough draft of a new layout that would take at least 600 yards off the courses current length of more than 6,700 yards. Executive courses typically consist of par-3s and short to mid-length par-4s and have no par-5s.
Personally, I think it will be a good thing, Chasteen said. The golf business isnt growing. It will be faster rounds. You get more women-friendly, you get beginner-friendly. You have to build the golfers up again and I think this will be a way to do that. The biggest problem is people spend too much time playing golf. There are going to be a lot of advantages to it.
Additionally, Andrews said he hopes the city creates programs at the course that would work to increase an interest in golf among children. Wed make it available for the children of our community, particularly in the afternoon when golf courses are typically empty, he said.
Mayor John Rhodes said he thinks creating an executive course could be a way to boost business at Whispering Pines. The business leveled, like all the golf courses around here. Weve already taken our licks, he said. We need to figure out something to do to potentially increase play.
Rhodes warned that the idea is just a proposal that will require a lot more consideration and deliberation. Its not going to be closing anytime soon, Rhodes said. We need to determine if it would it be economically feasible to do that.
The mayor also cautioned that he believes recent changes at Whispering Pines havent been given enough time to prove their worth. Rhodes said it has made financial strides since it has gained more exposure with holes running across from the new terminal at Myrtle Beach International Airport and alongside Harrelson Blvd, and an entrance directly across the street from the new airport entrance.
Its still losing money, but its making progress. I think weve made headway to getting business back, Rhodes said. So lets give it a shot, lets give it a chance. Im not for closing anything or changing anything until I know its going to work, and I personally like the golf course.
More immediately, Rhodes said the city is considering renovating the driving range and installing lights on the practice facility to allow use well after dusk. That could be accomplished as early as the spring, he said. We think that will increase income significantly, Rhodes said, and we would promote the driving range being there and having lights.
Andrews said he will need to get the OK from the U.S. Department of the Interior and prove the changes would continue to provide a public benefit.
The U.S. government gave the former Air Force Base course to the city when the base closed in 1993 and must approve any changes, city officials said. The course must be used for golf or other recreation, though Andrews said the federal government frowned upon changing the course to a park in the past, Andrews said.
From time to time well hear that we need more fields, Andrews said. Well reserve 40 acres out there so that we dont (have to purchase land for any future athletic fields.
The city has worked for years to come up with ways to make Whispering Pines more successful. In the early years, the course performed well as a city course, but has accumulated some losses in recent years, according to the city.
In 2011, the city considered allowing a third party to manage the course, but abandoned the idea after talks with the Department of the Interior indicated the lease would give up too much ownership of the course, Andrews said then.
Staff reporter Alan Blondin contributed to this report.

The Salem News
---- — The Salem Public Schools is excited to invite you to consider our Early Childhood Center for your preschooler. We provide a rich variety of activities and experiences in a flexible and pleasant atmosphere that introduces your preschooler to the exciting world of nature, art, science, math, social studies, language and music. Our curriculum is aligned with the Early Childhood Common Core State Standards and offers a solid foundation for future educational success.
Children are naturally joyful and curious and need to be given the time and space to be young children. Each child has the opportunity to grow at a developmentally appropriate pace, becoming a distinctive person while learning the skills to be a productive member of our community. In doing so, ECC students develop strong basic skills, the ability to work with others, a positive attitude about school, and the motivation and confidence needed to accomplish great things.
We want each child to find school a happy place where he or she will derive satisfaction from inventing, creating, discovering, practicing skills and taking responsibility, as well as meeting and solving problems in the presence of sensitive teaching. We consider the total child and provide experiences to encourage physical (gross and fine motor), social, emotional and intellectual development using the learning areas listed above. The teachers spend time helping the children play together, learning to share, using their words, beginning to take responsibility for their personal objects and becoming comfortable being away from home. In general, they are socialized to "life in a classroom."
The center offers seven nurturing and fun integrated preschool classrooms for children with and without special needs. Each classroom is taught by a master's-level teacher, is supported by a teacher's assistant and enrolls up to 15 students. A variety of therapists spend time in each classroom working with all students in a fun and inclusive manner. Groups of students may practice yoga or engage in hand-strengthening exercises through the use of clay during time with our occupational therapist, or may sing, role-play and expand their vocabulary with our speech language pathologist. Additional support staff includes a board-certified behavioral analyst, a school social worker, an assistive technology specialist and more! Most classes run Monday through Thursday. There are two separate sessions (a morning session and an afternoon session), which run 21/2 hours each.
Slots for peer models are offered through a lottery process. Students must have turned 3 by Sept. 1, 2012, in order to enter the lottery. Financial assistance is available for those with proven need. The lottery process is open to all.
If you believe your 3-, 4- or 5-year-old may have a disability, please attend one of our preschool screenings. The screening process includes a brief interview with the parent and child, and a formal "assessment." During the screening, children stay with their parents and are asked to complete a number of developmentally appropriate tasks. If you or the screening team has concerns, special education staff members will be available to answer your questions about further testing and next steps.
The Salem Public Schools staff looks forward to getting to know you and your child. We believe that our inclusive preschool program builds a lifelong foundation for learning, respecting human differences and nurturing friendships. We hope you will join us!
If you have any questions regarding the preschool program or the screening process, please feel free to call the preschool office at 978-740-1181.
Margaret Marotta is assistant superintendent of pupil personnel services for the Salem Public Schools. This is one in a series of regular columns from the schools' Community Advisory Board.
