The new Melvyl was released as a pilot in April 2008 and has proven to be an invaluable search tool for all researchers: students, faculty, staff, and the public.

In order to provide more ebook content to UCSF, the Library ran a trial with four ebook providers through May 31, 2011. The trials were made available to all UCSF students, staff, and faculty on the UCSF network and via VPN.
Three of the providers (ebrary, MyiLibrary, and R2 Library) have full text ebooks from multiple publishers, while the Elsevier trial was for selected subject areas from a single publisher:

A Step Back
Not much to report for today - I had pretty much seen everything I think I could see in the Samsun/Black Sea coastal area that was relevant for my research, and both John and I were feeling under the weather, so we decided to take it easy at the hotel and catch up ...
A Walk around More than the Block
One of the things I'm having to learn about this whole research process is that, not unlike most everything else in life, not every adventure or attempt is going to be successful. We had one of those days today. I had seen brief references in some of my sources to ruins that were around the area/neighborhood of Amisos Hill, so we set out this morning to walk around the surrounding area and see if we could find anything, as these ...
Cable-cars and Amazons
After an extremely early start to our day, John and I flew out of Istanbul from Sabiha Gokcen Airport (the Asian side airport) and landed about an hour later in Samsun, a bustling city on the Black Sea coast. Neither of us has ever seen the Black Sea before, and being able to see it is interesting for both of us because it shows up as a setting for several significant stories from Greek mythology. John is particularly excited ...
Two young Giffers on a Motorbike in Turkey
Travelled along Black Sea Coast yesterday heading west Heading south today towards Cappadocia then on to Mediterranean Coast What a fabulous day, got off the main highway and traveled up through the mountains, we were heading towards a lake to camp for the night but never got there We stopped for bread at a most amazing bread shop/garage, all fresh baked, he showed us how it all worked then suddenly everyone came from nowhere, shaking hands, wanting to talk, no-one understanding anyone, ...
All wrong / Alles falsch gemacht
... tire. This he has not observed.
5th - I told him he should 2 new hoses be used, as the hoses are already patched once each. On the valve I saw that old were mounted. During disassembly, I saw that the tube was patched already 2 times. In this case I could keep my old one, because they were patched only once.
6th - Wrong dimensions of the hose.
7th - Installed old valve and keep my new one.

This week, the Oklahoma legislature enacted one of the most "restrictive" abortion laws in America. Though the Supreme Court's 1973 ruling on Roe v. Wade bars an outright ban on abortion, states have found countless ways to control the rate of terminated pregnancies. Here are some of the strictest abortion bills ever passed — and a few proposals that proved too controversial to become (or remain) legal:
The state's new measures require doctors to show a woman an ultrasound of her fetus and to describe its physical characteristics in detail — even if she was impregnated through rape or incest. The new laws also protect doctors from being sued for declining to tell a women that her baby will have birth defects. (Both Florida and Louisiana are considering similar "informed consent" laws.) Another Oklahoma law requiring doctors to publically register any female citizen who'd had an abortion was struck down as unconstitutional this March.
In April, the state mandated a ban on abortions at or beyond 20 weeks of gestation, on the basis that fetuses feel pain. Though critics dismiss that argument, right-to-life activists call the law a milestone victory. Although the law is set to take effect in October, it violates the Supreme Court's ruling on "fetal viability" and faces a lengthy legal battle, a fight that some say could lead to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
In April, Governor Mark Parkinson vetoed a law that would allow a woman's family members to sue any doctor who gave her an abortion without her consent. The law would also have restricted women's freedom to seek late-term abortions. Parkinson says the state's existing laws already strike a "reasonable balance," but pro-life advocate Troy Newman said the veto would "cause Kansas to re-assume the title as the late-term abortion capital."
In the early 2000s, the state passed a raft of laws that made it nearly impossible for abortion providers to set up shop in Louisiana. Not only did the state pass a "civil liability law" allowing women who regretted their abortions to sue their doctor for unlimited sums, lawmakers mandated strict building codes for abortion clinics regulating everything from door sizes to the "angle and jet types for drinking fountains." These laws are no longer on the statute books.
South Dakota
The Midwestern state attempted to ban abortions outright in 2006, but public outrage and the prospect of a costly Supreme Court battle derailed the effort. Even so, South Dakota's attempts to limit abortions continue. Last year, a federal judge struck down a state bill that would have required doctors to tell women that abortions could increase the risk of suicide.

Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/JfGbTa5a7Cg Sony's infamous E3 press conference back in 2006 was hilariously terrible and downright embarrassing for them. Some even call it the worst gaming conference of all time. So how could Nintendo, or any company for that matter, come close to having a worse press conference than Sony back at E3 2006? Of course not, in fact, Nintendo's E3 2010 press conference impressed me a lot more than Sony and Microsoft did (I might even say it was Nintendo's best ever E3 show). Yes, their Zelda: Skyward Sword opening presentation was poor, but it was all due to technical difficulties that I can sympathize for (as for Sony, there were no technical difficulties, just stupidity). Shigeru Miyamoto knows his stuff (well, apart from the abomination that was Wii Music). Bring on Nintendo 3DS! I have edited Nintendo's conference in a way which has made them look worse than they actually were. If you haven't seen it yet, don't call it a complete failure, because I can assure you that it wasn't. Inspiration: http://youtu.be/IH2w2l1JTs4

Ace Hood - Sh*t Done Got Real
Artist: Ace Hood
Featuring: Busta Rhymes, Yelawolf
Producer: The Renegades
Album: The Statement 2
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 30 votes )
Can't front, Ace Hood is tapping into the savage beast inside him on this one. Finding ways to maintain consistency and maintain his place in the spotlight, the Def Jam emcee digs into the other, OTHER side of himself to rip a new one for those who doubted his mic skills. Sh*t Done Got Real is Hood's lyrical release, allowing him to share the persona that has been spilling out from his latest releases. Featuring cunning linguist Busta Rhymes and newfound favorite Yelawolf, the track boasts a level of humorously rude ingenuity from all three artists, matching cadences and vernacular to make a dope collaboration. This couldn't have been done without production from The Renegades, whose ghoul-induced synths over layered kicks and special drifts in the beat make this joint supremely personalized; a record that would make my brother say "Yeah, he's rough wit it." Touche lil bro, touche. Check for Sh** Done Got Real on Ace Hood's forthcoming mixtape, The Statement 2, set to drop later this week.

Hi Martin
I have a CARDEW FAMILY TREE written up in 1949 by David Cardew son of Henry Masters Cardew together with the Cornelius Cardew D.D. crest on it. It is quite complete up to 1949, but I am finding some mistakes in it.
On this tree it shows:
Pollet b) Curry Malet, Somerset Sep 10, 1817 d) Sep 12 1900 Eurombah Station, Queensland, Australia. m1) Mary Louisa LUCAS m) Dec 3 1851 she d) 1888. (Underneath this in pencil is written 'Ellen/Don Lenard b)Nov4 1840 D Daughter Mrs Chapman' m2) ?
Pollet and Mary's children were all born in Australia.
1) Henry Ponsonby Lucas b) Sep 18 1853 m) Ethel Mary WEALE m) May 2 1888.
2) Pollet Loftus b) Jan 17 1856 at Ipswich, he was a Solicitor, Ipswich, Queensland d) May 30 1916. m) Victoria FERRIER m) Jan 11, 1882. She b) Nov 16 1860 at Breeza, New South Wales d) Nov 1 1938 at Toowoomba, Queensland. Both buried at Ipswich cemetery Queensland.
3) Katherine Louisa Lucas b) May 6 1852 m)H. Grosvenor SIMPSON
4) Eva Cornelia b) Sep 8 1857 m) A. THOMPSON
5) Minnie Polletta b) Aug 31 1863 m) G. MACARTNEY
6) Charlotte Maude Lucas b) Ju 19 1865 (exact month unknown) m) J.R. GAIR
7) Caroline Tottenham Lucas (Mary) b) Oct 25 1865 d) 1949 m) Sir Edward MACARTNEY, Agent General, Queensland
8) Francis Tottenham Lucas b) Ju 7 1860 m) Ruth Mary CROSS m) Ap 1888.
9) This child is a decendant to m2) ?. Leonard b) Nov 4 1890, wounded Passchendaele Sept 10 1917.
10) You say that Leonard had a twin. There is no mention whatsoever on this sheet of mine.
Henry and Ethel had one child, Henry Pollet b) Dec 8 1889 d) Nov 10 1891.
Pollet and Victoria had three children. 1) Colin Loftus b) Jul 28 1885 (my husband's Grandfather) m) Alice Hazlett HUNTER m) Jul 24 1907. She b) Jan 7 1886 d) Jul 2 1945. 2) Eva Minnie Victoria b) June 2 1888 d) Nov 21 1979 m) Edward Patrick Thynne REAL of Dara, Queensland. He b) July 18 1884 d) Feb 18 1947. 3) Sybil Mary Constance b) Dec 29 1883 d) Sept 24 1968 m) Robert Cunningham HOGARTH m) Jan 11 1905. He b) May 18 1877 d) May 18 1960.
Francis and Ruth had two children. 1) Tottenham Cross Lucas b) July 9 1889. d) Oct 25 1919 in Abbeville, France being in the AIF Australian Imperial Forces. 2) Rita Ruth b) Oct 6 1895, still unmarried in 1949.
As far as the girls go, there is no mention of any families there as the tree only follows the male line.
I have photographs of Frederic, Pollet Loftus and Minnie (Minna)and a young and old Cornelius D.D., which I don't believe I can post on this site. Contact me off site if you want copies of them.
Re 'poor' Uncle Pollet, he arrived in New South Wales on board the 'Mary Ann' on the 9th July 1852 with his wife and a female servant. Apart from him buying Eurombah Station, I know nothing else of him.
Thank you for all of your information.
I hope all of this makes sense to you.
Best wishes

Vikings, Ramsey County Move Forward With New Stadium PlansPosted by on December 20, 2011 – 3:42 pm
Vikings Owner Zygi Wilf meets with Governor Dayton and legislative leaders
On Tuesday, the Ramsey County Board passed its third positive vote on the potential new publicly-owned stadium project in Arden Hills, this time approving a "Request for Qualifications for Architectural and Engineering Services." Passing 4-3, the vote means the County can move forward with soliciting interested architects who may be approved to design the stadium.
"Today's action by the Ramsey County Board is further evidence of our strong partnership with the County and is another step in moving this process forward in Arden Hills," said Vikings Vice President of Stadium Development Lester Bagley. "The sooner we take action, the better chance we have of opening the stadium in 2015. We can also prevent millions of dollars in cost delays and put thousands of people back to work as soon as possible."
The Tuesday vote came the morning after Vikings Owner Zygi Wilf and Vikings officials met with Governor Mark Dayton and several legislators. Gathering at the Governor's residence on Monday night, the Vikings, Governor Dayton and legislators discussed the latest on the stadium effort, the urgency to resolve the issue and the need to bring forward a legislative package for consideration in January.
The Vikings and Ramsey County also released two new conceptual images today depicting the various uses that could be developed around the proposed new stadium in Arden Hills.

I WISH the Vikings would have an outdoor stadium!!! It's cheaper and our team would become tougher! Vikings have not been the same since getting a dome!!!

Looks like something they might build in New York, California, or Texas. But Minnesota? The attitude here will not go for such a colossal, elegant, and fantastic structure/complex. What a boon to the whole area it would be. I was here and cringing when lawmakers argued over the dome– oh, let's go with the economical design– that is sufficient, they all agreed– Minnesota– stop settling!!!

I'm all for any stadium at this point, but Arden Hills looks to be like a much better option than any of the others. I just wish that they'd stop pushing back the decision and get this thing done ASAP.

In one of the winter renderings it shows firepits and dining patios with heaters, you with me? Would people really sit outside in zero degree weather and dine? I can fathom an outdoor stadium in the dead of winter but dining??? How would you like your steak sir? Uh, medium frozen please!

To my fine feathered friends,
Tarvaris Jackson is 235 of 387 (60.8%) 2706 yards 12 tds, 12 ints., and he plays for the hopeless SeaHawks!
Jackson may yet be a great QB in this league.
The Vikings should have kept him, along with S. Rice.

Vegas– NO, I am with you. I noticed that as well– I magnified that part of the image to make sure I was seeing correctly– patio dining in Minneapolis in winter? Ha ha ha. I would do it though– not sure if my dates would like it. I was in Phoenix in mid July a couple years ago and it was near record heat– 118 in the afternoon— and it was the reverse of Mpls– all the patios were closed and everyone sat indoors in the AC– I thought– man, back home, the outdoor patios would have mobs trying to fight for an outdoor table– so it is all relative. I also know what you mean about you being cold right now — when I came back to Mpls, it was in the low 80s and I actually felt a bit chilly– I was shocked until I put it in perspective– 118 minus 82– about 40 degree difference.

Everyone no QB will be any good with this team, no one. This team has no O-line, defense, and questionable coaching. There is no one to lead this team when it comes to drafting and free agencies. We need one person in charge, like a GM. This team needs a new home like the stadium that is proposed; this team has never been the same team it was when it was playing in the old Metropolitan Stadium, 4 SB's in the Met, 0 SB's in the dome, nothing more to say about that. The new Stadium needs to be outside the twin cities for the very reason that the Met was; more room to tailgate and for parking, with being close to the cities for all their amenities.
Everyone have a great day.

Sidney Rice had only one good season, and that's because of Favre, Rice is way to injury prone and fragile.

By Viking33 on Dec 21, 2011 | Reply
I am not opposed to thinking outside the Box and trading Ponder for draft pix and grabbing RG3. However, Ponder is not bad either, and has a lot of promise….so 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other – you decide. I watched a lot of RG3 this year and that kid is a natural talent – he seems to have his head on straiight too. If you notice during a game this is what happens –> Ponder drops back to pass, looks at his first option then either throws it there or his next read…….which right now is looking at the pass rush that is about to kill him. I saw Brees Sunday go through all his reads and then start over again!!! It is not fair to judge Ponders QB progression with no protection. Our Pass rush and coverage is a Novel in its own right.

Good news on the Stadium though – very exciting stuff. Minnesota needs an attraction like that – looks pretty cool, regardless of what Titus says — haha!! I'll have my Steak tartar outside with a Hot Buttered Rum to warm it up!!

All Vikes fans should watch Thursday December 29th @ 8 pm Central – RG3 and the Baylor Bears vs. Washington. See for yourselves what this kid can do. He is my Timmy Tebow – I am looking for an RG3 action figure , does Tim Tebow have an action figure yet – I am sure he does and I am sure it glows. ( For the people that cannot discern – I am kidding about the action figures – I am working on life size dolls now, I think it will replace the Fathead for sure….again just kidding )

Scroll up and read, then read again, and then re-read. I said this is a fantastic, elegant, and colossal structure/complex that would be a boon to the whole area.
My exact words from my post. You do not understand my point at all– ask some of the other bloggers, like Vegas, to help with reading comprehension.

RG III, Matt Barkley, and Andrew Luck would be killed behind this OLine. Brees, P. Manning, and Brady would get destroyed with the 6'7 traffic cone and Charlie Johnson as their OT. Build a D@ MN Oline and Ponder will do great.
By Woodboat on Dec 22, 2011 | Reply
NO ONE knows what Ponder's potential is. What we've seen from him this year was massively affected by the deplorable play of the O Line. I'm not saying that he's gonna light the league up, I have no idea. But YOU have no idea what he's going to be, either, so lets not be so quick to throw him under the bus….

President Barack Obama is pardoning 17 people, largely for minor offenses.
The White House announced the president's pardons Friday afternoon. Among the crimes committed by those receiving pardons were falsely altering a money order and unauthorized acquisition of food stamps.
The pardons are the first of Obama's second term. He granted his first pardons in December 2010, to nine people convicted of drug possession, counterfeiting and mutilating coins.
He also issued two separate batches of pardons in 2011, including eight people in May for relatively minor offenses and five people that November.

Forward and Backward Selection in Regression Hybrid Network
- Shimon Cohen,

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
We introduce a Forward Backward and Model Selection algorithm (FBMS) for constructing a hybrid regression network of radial and perceptron hidden units. The algorithm determines whether a radial or a perceptron unit is required at a given region of input space. Given an error target, the algorithm also determines the number of hidden units. Then the algorithm uses model selection criteria and prunes unnecessary weights. This results in a final architecture which is often much smaller than a RBF network or a MLP. Results for various data sizes on the Pumadyn data indicate that the resulting architecture competes and often outperform best known results for this data set.

Managing your reputation is very important when it comes to doing business.

The amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth each hour is equivalent to the amount of energy used by humans worldwide each year. Solar power's vast potential makes it one of the most promising sources of clean, renewable energy, but like any energy source, solar is not perfect. It comes with specific benefits and drawbacks. "Historically, the most formidable obstacle to the development of solar power has been cost," Solar Power Honolulu stated. That's beginning to change thanks to a combination of government incentives and advances in manufacturing. By 2015, the U.S. Department of Energy expects solar power to be cost-competitive with electricity generated from coal. A 100 by 100 square mile area of Nevada holds enough solar energy resources to meet all the United States' electricity needs. However, the sun does not shine at night. Bad weather can block out sunshine during the daytime. The intermittent nature of solar power presents a challenge, but not one that is impossible to overcome when using a licensed electrician Anaheim to properly install and repair any problem. Solutions include storing solar energy for those times when the sun does not shine and creating hybrid solar-fossil fuel utility projects.
To be competitive on a global scale, the business world of tomorrow needs individuals who can work in a culturally diverse environment and who have strong skills in a foreign language. U.S. companies have committed many faux pas when attempting to market their products abroad. One such example involves a major American airline company wanting to advertise its new leather first class seats in the Mexican market. It translated its "Fly in Leather" campaign literally as "Vuela en cuero," which means "Fly Naked" in Spanish. One can only imagine the embarrassment that must have ensued. Additionally, many businesses are looking for people who are proficient in other languages. Such skills (learn hangul) are needed in service industries (hotel, tourism, food); publishers and entertainment industries (films, radio, and sound production); corporate offices with overseas accounts; and also in other areas such as medicine, law, business, journalism, and more general government work. Knowing another language provides a competitive edge in career choices in today's and tomorrow's world.
Interest is defined as the cost of borrowing money, and depending on how it is calculated, can be classified as simple interest or compound interest. Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount of a loan. Compound interest is calculated on the principal amount and also on the accumulated interest of previous periods, and can thus be regarded as "interest on interest." This compounding effect can make a big difference in the amount of interest payable on a loan if interest is calculated on a compound rather than simple basis (eg. personal loans for bad credit for 5000). On the positive side, the magic of compounding can work to your advantage when it comes to your investments, and can be a potent factor in wealth creation. While simple and compound interest are basic financial concepts, becoming thoroughly familiar with them will help you make better decisions when taking out a loan or making investments, which may save you thousands of dollars over the long term.

KaratBars sells gold to its affiliates and customers and in small quantities . This allows everyone to have the financial ability to buy gold to protect them self against inflation of paper money. KaratBars uses an affiliate system to promote its products . What does that means? The company (visit the official website) pays people (like you and me) to promote their products. Instead of investing thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to advertise and manage a marketing and sales team and to pay for publicity, the company offers independent persons, to get paid for promoting and sharing the business.

There are many ways of finding a good broker for quick house sale manchester or homes for sale albuquerque nm. Personal recommendations from friends and colleagues are often the best way to go.

The best brokers — the top 10 percent — do 90 percent of all the business. So don't get stuck with a lemon. You want someone with enthusiasm and drive, someone who will give you the attention you need and steer you through the whole messy process with courtesy and professionalism.
Many merchants increase their business measurably just by adding a good sign.

Improvement in pumps for deep wells
Abstract available in
Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
UNITED STATES i PATENT OFFICE.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 55,822, dated June 26, 1866.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT CORNELIUS, of the city of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Construction of Apparatus to be Attached to Oil-Well Pumps; and I do hereby declare the following` to be a full and exact description ofthe same, reference 'being had to the annexed drawings, making` a part ofthe same, in whioh- Figure l represents an outside view of my pump attachment. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same.
In the ordinary oil-Well pump a quantity of dbris is drawn into its interior from time to time, deranging its action.
My improvement consists in adding` to the lower end of the pump a strainer to prevent this difficulty.
My appendage is to be attached to the ordinary oil-well pump and is composed as follows: A B is a cylinder or tube, two inches in diameter and five inches long, with a perforated or gauze cylinder, B B, two inches in diameter and sixteen inches long, attached to it below. This cylinder is surrounded by a cylinder or casing, C D, somewhat largerin diameter-say two and seven-'eighths inches diameter and twenty four inches long. A third cylinder, E F, two inches in diameter, projects up into C D, and is from t'teen to thirty feet long, and closed by means of a screw cap or plu g at its lower extremity. Apertures G H I J are made at the upper end of C D. The upper extremity of A B is screwed onto the lower end of the ordinary pump.
The operation is as follows: The rising` of the piston causes the oil from the well to pass in through the apertures Gr H I J and downward and inward through the cylindrical wiregauze screen B B and up into the pump. Any dbris will be retained on the outside of the screen B B and necessarily fall into the tube E F, where they will accumulate and can be removed at any time desired in quantity. Thus the dbris is entirely excluded from. the body of the pump and cannot impair the action of the pump.
Having l thus described my improvement, what I claim is- The combination of an outer case with apertures,an interior wire-gauze or perforated screen, and a receptacle below for the dbris, substantially as described.

It is not easy being disabled in a society with limited social support systems. Needless to say, there's stigma attached to being disabled.''
But attitudes and mindsets are slowly changing in Kazhakstan. Today, at 65, Amanbayev leads the Kazakhstani Union for the Organization of People with Disabilities. This summer, when he was appointed adviser to the Minister for Labour and Social Protection, he became the first person with a disability to hold this highly-ranked position in Kazakhstan.
This flagship appointment came as no surprise for Amanbayev, who has watched the rights of the disabled flourish recently in Kazakhstan.
Since 2008, UNDP has been working closely with the Ministry for Labour and Social Protection to support the rights of people living with disabilities. As a result, the country's social protection system has been extended to include 500,000 disabled people. With UNDP support, a number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) also increased their lobbying to appoint a person with a disability as an adviser to the Government. Amanbayev's eventual appointment to the job marked a signal of fundamental change.
Thanks in part to UNDP advocacy, Kazakhstan signed the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol in 2008. More recently, UNDP has been working with the Government to promote national disability policies and the establishment of basic support services, such as opportunities to receive college degrees though distance learning, in addition to jobs training and rehabilitation services.
Improving social services
With UNDP advice, Kazakhstan has amended key laws to improve social services for vulnerable groups, with special attention given to those with disabilities. As a result, US$200 million of Government funding has been allocated, allowing over 2,000 people with disabilities to receive special services.
As a result of these improved government services, Amanbayev now has a personal assistant who helps him in his wheelchair around the city and within his own home. These days, more than 7,000 disabled people in Kazakhstan receive these critical services.
"It's made such a difference," Amanbayev says of his assistant. "He's the extra oomph to help me face the challenges of each day."
These days, Amanbayev and other NGO leaders are lobbying the Ministry for Transport and Communication to revise standards for providing access to public spaces and public transportation for the disabled. As a result, Alimbayev was invited to take part in several hearings and meetings at the Ministry, where he convincingly pointed out the urgent need for change in a country where such standards lag far behind the international norm. The Ministry promised to make all railway platforms and trains accessible for wheelchair users within the next two years.
"You can't imagine how vital this is," Amanbayev says proudly.
