The Greater Foothills Helping Hands organization has been servicing seniors for 18 years to help them remain in their homes.
"When you try to move a senior person...it's really really stressful," said Judy Arnold, executive director of the non-profit organization. "You may have taken care of the physical, but you broke the spirit."
So Helping Hands does what is needed to keep seniors living independently as long as possible, Arnold said.
Often, the mobility of seniors can be limited, and this is where Helping Hands steps in.
"The biggest thing that we do is transporting. And our volunteers use their own cars, and their own gas, and their own time," Arnold said.
They also lend a hand with other necessities, including food bank delivery and minor repairs around the house, as well as giving a friendly phone call during the week to check up on their senior friends.
Gladys and Jim Goodey are long-time volunteers of the organization. They volunteers many hours of their time because they realize people need what others take for granted.
"Today there was one or two women that came in for food," Gladys Goodey said. "It's really needed. We don't know how good we've got it."
"Neighbors helping neighbors" is the motto for the hundreds of volunteers who come through these doors in a community where the help is greatly needed.
"A lot of times, the community associates seniors to the winter visitors that come--very healthy, independent, financially sound," said Dave Kirchner, owner of Home Instead Senior Care. "But there really is a community of seniors...that really do need assistance."
For more information on how you can volunteer of if you could benefit from their services, call (928) 305-9974 or visit www.greaterfoothillshelpinghands.com.

Beat reporters have a pretty sweet setup. I mean, sure, rushing to file their pieces by deadline is incredibly stressful, but at least they have cushy seats, a prime view and protection from the wind and rain while in the pressbox.
With the Reds taking on the Giants Tuesday night, that security, along with a laptop, was shattered. And it's all thanks to a Pablo Sandoval foul ball.
Dear @MLB, Mark's recap may be delayed. RT @m_sheldon: RIP my laptop. Sandoval foul hit it #reds pic.twitter.com/13oTqEyZ2j
- Cincinnati Reds (@Reds) June 4, 2014
The most tragic moment is Sheldon's head droop at the end of the GIF. It's a sure reminder to thousands of people of the time their computer crashed in the midst of an all-nighter.
As for how the Reds reporter will finish his recap tonight, we can only hope that it involves skywriters, a court stenographer and the use of an old-timey bicycle.
UPDATE: After the game, Mark Sheldon spoke to MLB.com about the incident, saying that he was just about to file his game story when Sandoval's foul smashed his laptop. Here's to the future when indestructible computers will hopefully be invented.

A Short and Pleasant RV Trip

We just returned from a restful one week stay near Graeagle, California only an hour East of Interstate 80 and Truckee, California (perhaps an hour and a half from Reno, Nevada). This spot is right along side the Feather River.
The Feather River Canyon runs for 100 miles South West from Quincy to Oroville. What spectacular sights there are along... [Read more]

Hey Y'all! (random title to say the least!)
Can I get a HOOPLA for making it to Friday? (Did anyone watch SpongeBob as much as I did back in the day? Gosh that stuff is good)
For today's post I am just bringing up a random slew of ramblings that I feel I want to update, inform and tell you all about! It is Friday after all so making a completely cohesive post is just not on the agenda. Plus I have been writing several papers, emails and of course writing for blogging-related stuff and my eye balls hurt from the screen at this point haha. Not that I am not enjoying all of this (well school papers not so much) but yeah, I am glad the weekend is hurrr.
So let's get to it, in numbered form for organizational purposes!
1) I am on Day Four of no intense exercise and so far none of my worst, irrational fears have come true…who woulda thunk huh? Aka I have NOT…
- Lost all endurance and muscle tone
- Gained weight
I am still not sure how long this break is going to last. At first I gave myself seven full days to take off as I thought that was all I would be able to stand. But honestly, I am not going as crazy as I thought I would, a sincere relief to say the least! What is really encouraging me and keeping me committed to this break, is remembering the fact that I simply do not have a choice in this… well that is if I have any hope in competing this summer in various road races and triathlons (both of which I plan to do!).
Guess what else happened the other day? I went to a yoga class and didn't want to stab myself during it! Win.
For YEARS I have hated yoga with a burning passion… and I can better understand the "reasoning" behind my attitude now that I am resting properly. Yoga just did not count as a workout for me- not that it was not a challenge, because I know some kinds are quite hard, but more that it was just NOT for me.
A workout that does not get my heart rate pumping above 180, that does not make my muscles burn, and induce sweat like no other? Pshhh don't think so! Plus anytime I had tried yoga in the past I can remember feeling mentally tortured during it- I was so BORED and could not wait for the class to be over, yet time seemed to be going backwards. And yet when I went to a class on Thursday morning, I found it enjoyable. WHO AM I?! Albeit hard, as I am inflexible as heck, but it felt good.
What I am trying to express and explain is wow, the mind is a powerful thing. I mean duh, could that have been a more obvious and dumb statement? Well it's crucial here. With a simple shift in my thinking, attitude and thought process toward yoga, I found the class fulfilling and beneficial for both my mind and body… this shift made all the difference.
Remembering this as I continue taking rest will be vital for my success and sanity. Plus, this whole turning your attitude/thinking around has really intrigued me… how else could this benefit in my recovery, in my life?! Countless ways I am sure and I am looking forward to exploring this notion further.
2) I just finished Divergent the other day and LOVED IT!
I cannot remember who recommended this… Lindsay was it you? If you like the Hunger Games (sheese who doesn't!?) then you will quite thoroughly enjoy this novel.
"One choice. One choice decides your friends, defines your beliefs, and determines your loyalties . . . forever. Or, one choice can transform you. In Veronica Roth's debut novel, Divergent, a perfect society unfolds into a dystopian world of electrifying decisions, stunning consequences, heartbreaking betrayals, and unexpected romance."
Anyway, it was an excellent choice and I am rather excited for the next one to come out!
3) I cooked and baked A TON when I was home last week and wanted to share a few more of the recipes- plus the one for egg white oatmeal that a few of you requested
First up a recipe for coffee cake. I am a coffee cake FANATIC… that was a favorite snack choice FOR SURE when I was younger. The crumb topping was obviously the best part and I definitely favored Entenmanns over any other kind out there, they had the thickest most buttery crumb topping Well I have not had coffee cake in years for reasons you can probably guess (oh hey there fear food) but that doesn't mean I am not going to never have it again. And until then, how about a spruced up healthier version!
Blueberry-Lemon Coffee Cake
(adapted from Cooking Light)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- **1/3 cup almond paste
- 2 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg (could use an egg substitute!)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3/4 cup milk (I used vanilla soy milk)
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries (I used frozen)
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
For the Topping
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons sliced almonds, chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
If you do not want to buy/cannot find almond paste, you can make your own! I did…
Almond Paste:
- 1-1/2 cups blanched almonds
- 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 egg white
- 1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Place almonds in a food processor; cover and process until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar, egg white, extract and salt; cover and process until smooth.
- Divide almond paste into 1/2-cup portions; place in airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 3 months. Yield: 1-1/2 cups.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
- Place 1/2 cup sugar, almond paste, and 2 tablespoons butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add egg and lemon juice, beating well. Add the flour mixture and milk alternately to the sugar mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- Fold in the blueberries and rind. Spoon batter into a nine-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray.
- To prepare topping, combine 1/4 cup sugar and remaining ingredients in a small bowl, tossing with a fork until moist. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter. Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
These were fantastic if I do say so myself! The lemon flavor was evident but not overly powerful, the blueberries added a fresh taste, they were not too sweet and the crumb topping (although not Entenmann's) was taste as well!
Egg White Pumpkin Oatmeal
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1/2 cup egg liquid whites
- 1/3-1/2 cup pumpkin puree (your preference)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Cinnamon to taste (I use about 1 tablespoon!)
- Cook the oats according to package directions. I cook mine for more time to get them thicker, about 10 minutes with occasional stirring.
- In the last 2 minutes of cooking quickly stir in the egg whites, being sure to stir vigorously so they get well-distributed and so they do not curdle. Then, stir in the pumpkin purée, vanilla and cinnamon.
- Serve and enjoy a rather voluminous, splendid bowl of oats! Oh and top with whatever tickles your fancy… I was feeling blueberries this particular day:
4) Let's talk Pinterest (click to follow me! Shameless plug there, sorry) for a bit here… first a few funny pins that stuck out and allowed me a chuckle in the last few days-
I cannot even tell you how many times I have heard the above meme spoken by someone here at school…
Unfortunately this next one is too true:
This happened yesterday as a matter of fact at Barnes and Noble and I almost died from grossness! (yep it's possible )
One more thing about Pinterest! I stumbled upon this article the other day and could not help but share it:
If you do not feel like clicking over, it's an article summarizing Pinterest's efforts to ban those damn Thinspiration and Thinspo pins that are all over the place on the site. However, they also discussed how difficult of a task this is going to be and also the whole going against free speech thing.. something I have discussed on my own blog before.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this (and from the article)…. What do you think? Just another meaningless infringement on free speech, or a progressive step toward making the internet less full of thin women in undies, unhealthy "tips," and other triggering images?
For me I can see how this can go both ways but as I said when I discussed this a few months ago, for the most part I found them harmful.I know I used to go on Thinspiration sites.. not necessarily to utilize the tips, but I certainly made note of them "just in case."
5) Game of Thrones Seasons 2 premieres on Sunday!!!!!!!!!! (excessive explanation points are necessary)
To say I am excited with be a massive understatement… gigantic I tell you! I will tell you that I will be out of commission from 9- 10:30 on Sunday night, no one attempt to talk to me Oh and even thought the show is only an hour, I will need that extra 30 minutes to process the awesomeness this show is.
6) When I was home this week, I hung out with a good friend of mine Suzanne (who I went to NYC with during December) and she is coming to UMASS this weekend! She is visiting her cousin who is celebrating her 21st (eek) and we will certainly be meeting up.
During break we partook in beach, restaurant and bar festivities together and it was a joyous time.
I just wanted to include this next picture as I am still reminiscing on the warm weather last week.. plus I like this outfit and it's always a nice change to see the positives in yourself once in awhile
See you Saturday deary!
7) On Sunday I am going to my dad's house to help out with some yard work stuff, alongside my step brothers, and will have the opportunity to use a chainsaw. Is it weird I am incredibly psyched for this? Lumberjack Tessa comin at ya!
This movie scared the begeezes out of me.
So there you are, a pretty random post to say the least but that's alright, it was great to get things out and share them with you! Next week I plan to talk more about how the resting situation is going… and the food aspect of this as well (lots to say on that one) and whatever else I feel the need to discuss!
-What are your thoughts on the Pinterest screening/ban on Thinspiration stuff? Is it necessary and do you think it will be helpful? Do you think it will be hard to define what qualifies as thinspiration verses not?
-What are you reading right now? Any good book recommendations!? I need some new material!
-Are you "involved" in any TV series right now or waiting for one to come out? Any Game of Thrones fan out there?
-Do you have any favorite dishes that you have "healthified" like the blueberry crumb cake?
-What are your plans for the weekend? Do they involve heavy-duty machinery like mine? hehe
Have a most glorious rest of your Friday and weekend of course!

Meet Our Testers
Crows' Feet, Cupcakes, and Cellulite [CCC] delivers cheeky articles on all things beauty — from the latest in skincare to the newest body treatments to the hottest makeup products n' trends to must-try hair goods. If you're looking for a head-to-toe beauty source, look no further! While most beauty blogs focus on the neck up, CCC is all about the whole beauty enchilada. (After all, what gal isn't all about maintaining both her looks and her tush? Ummm, that's totally a rhetorical question.) We believe our product reviews and topics should be uber honest and authentic — with a big dose of wit for good measure. Bottom line: if the product (or subject matter) doesn't knock our beauty-loving socks off, we simply don't write about it.
Now, meet our Testers & Topic Mavens– who fearlessly try, examine, assess, analyze, and scrutinize the "goods":
Crows' Feet, Cupcakes, and Cellulite founder, Sasha Stubblefield, is also a freelance beauty writer for a number of online magazines including GalTime.com, Savvy Texas Magazine, Yahoo Shine, She Is Dallas, and Pretty In My Pocket Blog and admits she is a full-blown beauty product fanatic. "I wanted to create a cheeky blog about the things women think about most: skincare, hair & makeup, and achieving our best bodies. I think CCC covers all of the above and then some in a clever, entertaining fashion."
An admitted lover of all things beauty and skin-related, Trista Granberry is a sucker for products that lift, plump, smooth, repair, conceal — and, of course, beautify. And if the product comes in a pretty package or container, even better!
Native Minnesotan (and beauty fanatic) Allyson McClurg is always on the lookout for products that work better n' faster! She's a die-hard skincare enthusiast and won't leave the house without proper SPF to keep those irksome sun rays at bay. Her mantra is "a girl can never have too many lip glosses" and she also fancies a great mascara.

Internet User Experience 2005 Hits Michigan
by Tim Keirnan
In March, people from all over the American Midwest came to Internet User Experience 2005 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a "mini conference" that exceeded all expectations. In what should prove to be an annual event, the Michigan Chapter of UPA co-sponsored Internet User Experience 2005 with the following local professional groups:
Dave Mitropoulos-Rundus, Michigan UPA's events director, had an idea in his head that wouldn't go away. "There's a critical mass of people and companies right here that focus specifically on perfecting the design of the user experience for software and hardware; it includes some of most noted presenters and instructors in the profession, and it made all the sense in the world to me to put together a 'mini conference' to showcase it. I'm really happy with how it all came together."
Outgoing chapter president Timothy Keirnan agreed. "At our February chapter meeting, I told attendees that there is a 'usability scene' brewing in Michigan, and this event proved it beyond even my own expectations. Michigan has several professional society chapters that care about usability, and the officers in those chapters are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and make things happen. Professional chapters do great things when they work together."
The conference started on Monday, March 14th, with a day-long tutorial on designing usable websites by Tom Brinck, co-author of Designing Websites That Work. Attendees returned to Washtenaw Community College's Morris Lawrence Auditorium the following day to hear the following presentations:
When attendees weren't learning from the presenters, they were eating and drinking with them during breaks and mealtimes. At the end of the day, everyone gathered to discuss as a group Today's Internet Solutions, Customer Wants & Needs, and "Appropriate" Internet Solutions for the Future, moderated by Dave Mitropoulos-Rundus. In this innovative conference closer, everybody was "the panel" and the mic passed round and round as the group engaged in a spirited free-for-all discussion on the day's topics.

La festa degli innamorati
The Feast of the Enamored
On every February 15, the ancient Romans would celebrate a fertility festival called the Lupercalia with the sacrifice of a goat in the sacred cave dedicated to Romulus and Remus, the city's legendary founders. Priests sliced the goat's hide into strips and dipped them in the sacrificial blood. Boys would run through the streets, gently slapping women with the goatskin strips to enhance their fertility in the coming year.
Later in the day, all the young unmarried women in the city would place their names in a large urn. Rome's bachelors each selected a name and became that woman's sexual partner for the year in a sort of trial union that often led to marriage.
As it grew in power in the centuries following the birth of Christ, the Catholic Church abolished this pagan practice. In its stead it created the most romantic of saints' days on February 14 to honor a martyred Roman priest named Valentino.
Although historical accounts differ, Valentino seems to have served in Rome in the third century A.D., when the Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men because he believed that bachelors made better soldiers. Valentino, sympathetic to young lovers, defied the decree and continued to perform weddings.
Arrested and tortured, the tender-hearted priest developed a friendship with a young girl — perhaps his jailor's daughter—who came to visit him. Some say they fell in love; others claim that he cured her blindness. Before being beheaded, the priest sent her a note that he signed, "il tuo Valentino."
Lovers around the world have been using the same phrase ever since on the holiday Italians call la festa degli innamorati. The town of Vico del Gargano in Puglia celebrates Valentino, its patron saint, by inviting people in love to drink the juice of the local oranges, considered an elixir for love and happiness. Young couples make their way through the famous "Vicolo del bacio," (the alleyway of the kiss), a tiny pathway only nineteen inches wide, where they exchange kisses and sweet nothings.
Throughout Italy, which has not commercialized Valentine's Day as much as in the United States, couples celebrate with una cenetta intima (a romantic or intimate dinner), flowers, or the famous Baci Perugina, small, chocolate-covered hazelnut "kisses" wrapped with a poetic quote in four languages. Some examples:
Un cuore che ama è sempre giovane -- A heart that loves is always young.
L'amore è come la luna: se non cresce, cala -- Love is like the moon. If it doesn't get bigger, it wanes.
Siamo angeli con un'ala sola, solo restando abbracciati possiamo volare -- We are angels with only one wing; only embracing each other are we able to fly.

Clostridium difficile Infections: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention
Assays Commonly Used in CDI Diagnostics
Cytotoxicity assay. The cultured cell cytotoxicity assay often has been used as a reference test for evaluating new diagnostic tests for toxigenic C. difficile. Briefly, a diluted and filtered aliquot of a stool sample is mixed with cultured test cells. The test cells are examined for toxin effects (cell rounding) that are not seen in comparator test cells where an excess amount of antitoxin is present. A cytotoxicity assay requires up to 48 hours for the toxin effects to appear. Cytotoxicity testing is not a perfectly accurate gold standard. Methodological differences in the time to process and dilution of stool samples, the age and type of cultured test cells being used for the test, the antitoxins, and the interpretation of results all can cause cytotoxicity assay results to vary.
Culturing C. difficile organisms. Culturing C. difficile by anaerobic incubation of fecal aliquots on selective cycloserine-cefoxitin, fructose agar, or other media can be more sensitive than the cytotoxicity assay for detecting the presence of C. difficile organisms. However, C. difficile culture techniques also are not standardized, are susceptible to methodological variation, and require expertise, equipment, and several days to complete. Cultured C. difficile organisms also have to test positive for disease-causing toxins. Therefore, culture of C. difficile from stool samples followed by a toxin-detection assay is considered the most sensitive method for detecting toxigenic C. difficile; however, the time it takes to complete these tests are not practical for clinical decisionmaking.
Immunoassays for toxins. A variety of faster (within a few hours), less costly commercial immunoassays for C. difficile toxins are available. Initially, most immunoassays detected only toxin A. More recently it was discovered that a small but increasing number of clinically significant C. difficile strains produced only toxin B. When the performance of a diagnostic test depends on the level of toxins in test specimens and most organisms produce both toxins A and B, immunoassays that detect both toxins might be more sensitive if other critical factors such as dilution of the specimens are equal. Therefore, experts have recommended using immunoassays that can detect both toxins A and B. A highly sensitive and specific immunoassay for these toxins may be used as a second test after the stool culture. Data from the College of American Pathology proficiency testing program for C. difficile toxin detection indicated that 90 percent of labs used an immunoassay for toxins A and B in June 2009. The most commonly used tests were the Immunocard and Premier A & B test kits manufactured by Meridian, the TechLab Tox AB II and Toxin A/B QUIK CHEK kits, and the Remel ProSpecT and Xpect Toxin A/B tests.
Toxin gene detection tests. Three tests of stool specimens for the presence of genes involved in the production of C. difficile toxins have recently become commercially available. These tests use the polymerase chain reaction to amplify targeted gene fragments to detect the presence of a gene or genes involved in the production of toxins, not the actual toxins. The target of the assays can be the genes that produce toxin B and a gene C that negatively regulates the production of toxins A and B. A mutation in gene C has been detected in an increasingly common hypervirulent strain of C. difficile that produces large amounts of toxins A and B. One concern about using the tests based on amplification of toxin gene fragments is that very small, clinically unimportant genetic residue or specimen contamination may be detected. Clinically speaking these would be false positives that would reduce test specificity. Therefore, some experts have recommended using this type of test only when a patient has clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of CDI.

My DD goes to an awesome in home daycare 2 days a week and will be going there full time starting in May when I go back to work after my maternity leave. I will also need full time care for my newborn starting in May. However, my DCP is only licensed for one newborn and she had a baby in October so there wouldn't be room for my newborn until October 2013.
I don't want to pull my DD out of this daycare but I'm not sure what to do about interim care for my newborn from May until October. It seems weird to take him to another daycare just for that short time. I think a nanny might be more than we want to pay for just one child.
Any suggestions?
megann831:I would ask her if she knows anyone, maybe a SAHM. You may see if she would want to look into if she could actually take you baby too though. The baby she had in October will be 7 months in May, that's not really a newborn.
Generally they're considered newborns until 12 or 15 months (the typical transition age to the toddler room in a center) and have to be walking on their own.
OP, that's tough! It's only five months but that can be a long time to haul two kids to two places. Have you thought about looking into hiring a college kid? Would probably be less than a career nanny.
Boy, that is tricky. I agree with checking with friends/family to see if they could help out in the interim. Could you and DH flex your schedule to reduce the number of days you would need care for?
I would also talk to your current provider about any options. She may know of someone else in her neighborhood, so at least two dropoffs wouldn't be too much of a hassle.
Meh... I wouldn't worry too much about putting him in another center or with another provider. It's easier now that he's very little than when he gets older. The only issue you might run into around the time of the switch is that he might be in the separation anxiety stage. That said, won't he then be with his sister? Maybe that will help ease the transition.
Regardless, there will be a transition no matter what. In reality, you are going from one care provider (in whatever situation-nanny, in-home, center, your BIL, whatever) to another one, so no matter what, if you are planning on eventually using the lady who watches your DD, I wouldn't worry too much.
Does the provider's own child count toward her license? In some states, the provider's own children aren't counted the same as a non-relative's child.
Do you have any friends or relatives who live close by who could take LO for those 5 months?
This. I would lean towards finding someone temporarily for the newborn if you can then switch to both at the same place in Oct.

Cataloging and Metadata Department
FY12 Annual Report
The Cataloging and Metadata Department made significant strides on many tasks during the year. Two important areas of focus - storage-related projects and preparations for the Shared Bib implementation - required a considerable outlay of time and resources. Productivity remained high thanks to the dedication and expertise of staff, along with the contributions of volunteers and time-limited/OPS employees. Selected highlights are noted below as well as links to the following detailed unit/area reports:
Copy Cataloging Unit
Contributed Cataloging Unit
Authorities and Metadata Quality Unit
Principal Serials Cataloger (including CONSER)
Cataloging Activity
- Cataloged over 52,000 titles, including approximately 8,500 original records:
- Cataloged 18,674 titles for the branches, including 3,653 original records (see FY00-12 stats),
- Cataloged over 32,000 titles, including almost 4,000 original records, for the Stodocs project involving the cataloging of pre-1976 federal documents in storage. The project involved 14 employees (8 permanent staff, 2 time-limited staff, 3 OPS, and 1 volunteer) working up to 220 hours/week (5.5 FTE) at ALF. See http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/catmet/stodocsproject.html for more information about the project and up-to-date statistics.
- Cataloged 1,486 titles from the Baldwin Library of Historical Children's Literature
- Barcoded and cataloged Dewey material identified through the storage traying process. This project, referred to as Stogen, required a substantial commitment of staff time. 6 permanent staff along with 2 temporary employees worked over 80 hours/week at ALF to correct problems and complete cataloging for items awaiting traying.
- Obtained OCLC authorization and served as cataloging agent for the Division of Plant Industry (DPI) in order to catalog approximately 1,650 Gov Docs Center of Excellence titles held at DPI (count included in Stodocs project total above).
- Batch loaded 43,609 records for the following electronic resource packages: Classical Music Library, Counseling & Therapy Video, Early English Books Online, Ethnographic Video Online, US Federal Government Documents e-monographs, Henry Stewart Talks, IEEE Xplore, Knovel, MyiLibrary, PsycBooks, Springer E-books, and World Bank e-library.
- Withdrew 1,690 volumes/units and reclassified 11,107 volumes, the latter primarily consisting of Education Library periodicals.
- Provided support and consultation for the Map & Imagery Library's cataloging 5,676 cartographic titles.
Statewide Projects
- Played a major role in the lead-up to Shared Bib, a State University Libraries' initiative to implement a unified library management system. Staff members performed test load reviews, corrected/updated thousands of records, participated in training activities, represented UF on statewide committees, attended frequent meetings, developed guidelines, and consulted with the Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA) on numerous issues. Following years of preparation, including a two year pilot, Shared Bib was launched in late June 2012. The system heralds a new era of collaboration through improved access to over 10 million bibliographic records and the potential for more efficient cooperative workflows.
- Participated actively in efforts to prepare material for the High Density Storage Facility. In addition to the Stodocs and Stogen projects noted above, the department:
- Collaborated on a proposal to catalog non-Stodocs US federal documents in storage (dubbed Alfdocs) and created a report to facilitate pulling items.
- Worked with the Documents Department to develop a plan for cataloging Congressional Hearings held at the Marston Science Library.
- Provided input to facilitate the transfer of University of Miami material to storage.
- Refined policies and workflows related to serials and other continuing resources.
- Served on a local Condition Assessment Task Force tasked with determining how the physical condition of items should be noted in holdings records.
- Collaborated on a proposal to catalog non-Stodocs US federal documents in storage (dubbed Alfdocs) and created a report to facilitate pulling items.
Cooperative Programs
- Submitted 34 records as a new ECIP partner library with responsibility for providing Cataloging-In-Publication records for the University Presses of Florida. Per LC's Web site, "ECIP partner libraries act as virtual Library of Congress cataloging
sections to catalog forthcoming titles published by an affiliated
university press, selected independent publishers, or in specific
subject areas."
- Created/upgraded 19 Directory of Open Access Journals
(DOAJ) CONSER records for CONSER's DOAJ pilot project.
Cataloging Workflow
- Assumed responsibility for cataloging standing-order adds, a task previously handled by the Acquisitions
Department, and eliminated a substantial backlog. Created an updated list of c/sep and analytic standing orders to reduce errors and help streamline the workflow.
- Collaborated with FLVC to revamp and implement the process for adding virtual bookplates for endowment funds.
- Worked with the Digital Library Center to move non-MARC-based UFDC items to Mango, update dissertation adviser data, correct UFDC Sanborn links, and other issues and activities.
- Attended and archived RDA webinars and documents, and did preliminary planning for a local implementation to coincide with the Library of Congress 3/31/13 target date.
- Successfully installed Aleph Version 20 and Connexion Version 2.30.
Began update of AlephPro guidelines by creating a review list.
- Hosted five interns/volunteers (Lila Sadkin, Gabby Gizaw, Theodore Doras, Michelle ElNeil, Athy Fitos), three of whom were later hired by the library.
Library Initiatives
- Offered Creative Commons file for public access (http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/catmet/creativecommons.html).
- Participated in the development and implementation of the Serials Solutions' Summon discovery service.
- Collaborated with FCLA to create a test load of Hathi public domain records and ERIC documents in Mango.
- Served as cataloging liaisons to affiliated libraries: Career Resource Center (new), Division of Plant Industry, Harn Museum Bishop Study Center, Herbarium, IFAS Centers, Mead Library, and Nuclear and Radiological Engineering Department, and contributed to process improvements through the Affiliated Libraries Task Force.

1d7i, resolution 1.90Å
CheckConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
A new crystal form of native FK506 binding protein (FKBP) has been obtained which has proved useful in ligand binding studies. Three different small molecule ligand complexes and the native enzyme have been determined at higher resolution than 2.0 A. Dissociation constants of the related small molecule ligands vary from 20 mM for dimethylsulphoxide to 200 microM for tetrahydrothiophene 1-oxide. Comparison of the four available crystal structures shows that the protein structures are identical to within experimental error, but there are differences in the water structure in the active site. Analysis of the calculated buried surface areas of these related ligands provides an estimated van der Waals contribution to the binding energy of -0.5 kJ/A(2) for non-polar interactions between ligand and protein.
X-ray structures of small ligand-FKBP complexes provide an estimate for hydrophobic interaction energies.,Burkhard P, Taylor P, Walkinshaw MD J Mol Biol. 2000 Jan 28;295(4):953-62. PMID:10656803[1]

Updated from 11:01 a.m. EDT with settlement prices
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Gold prices gained Monday on concerns about Syria and a bump in physical demand as Asian stocks rebounded.
Gold for June delivery at the COMEX division of the CME rose $3.80 to $1,468 an ounce. The
Reports emerged late last week that Israel had launched an airstrike into Syria and had targeted a suspected weapons site. Israeli jets reportedly launched another attack on Sunday, targeting the Jamraya research center, which is a secret scientific research center near Damascus, Syria's capital.Gold didn't receive a huge boost on the Syria news, but rising uncertainty about stability in the region did support enough buyers of the precious metal as a hedge. Physical demand was also lending support to gold on Monday as Asian stock markets rebounded, said Phil Streible, senior commodities broker at RJO Futures. "People are liquidating those ETFs and they're utilizing their money to buy the physical," Streible said from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. "You're seeing a real disconnect, I mean, physical prices are holding strong and people are looking for staying power with their money." Silver prices for July delivery slid 6 cents to $23.96, while the U.S. dollar index was increasing 0.26% to $82.31. Over the weekend, legendary investor Warren Buffett, chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B), said that investment in gold doesn't appeal to him. "It's never interested me. If you go back to 1965, Berkshire was at $15 and gold was at $35, so you could've bought two shares of Berkshire for an ounce of gold, a little more than two shares," Buffett said at his annual shareholder meeting. "And so far, two shares of Berkshire's been better." Buffett's comments on gold come as little surprise to gold investors who have been aware of the Oracle of Omaha's disinterest in the yellow metal. "It's a non-interest-bearing asset," said Streible. "Now silver on the other hand, Warren Buffett has been known to hold certain degrees of silver. I think that if silver prices work their way a bit lower it could be something that does interest him or platinum or copper, but otherwise gold not just an event at all for Warren Buffett."

What is Ruby-GetText-Package?
Ruby-GetText-Package is a Localization(L10n) Library and Tools which is modeled after GNU gettext package.
The library converts the messages to localized messages properly using client-side locale information(environment variable or CGI variable).
And the tools for developers support to create, use, and modify localized message files(message catalogs) easily.
- Documents for Developers
- Documents for Translators
- Screenshots(Sample blog)
- Rubyforge - Download
- github - Development, Bug Reports.
- Translate singular/plural messages with simple APIs(similar to GNU gettext)
- Thread safety. Message resources are shared from all threads, but returns translated messages of the current thread's locale.
- Tools to find message IDs
- Extract message IDs to po-files using rgettext from
- ruby scripts
- glade-2 XML file(.glade)
- ERB file(.rhtml, .erb)
- Anything (with your own parsers)
- The po-files are compatible to GNU gettext.
- rmsgfmt creates a mo-file from a po-file. The mo-file is compatible to GNU gettext(msgfmt).
- Using rgettext/rmsgfmt as Rake tasks
- Extract message IDs to po-files using rgettext from
- textdomain's scope is adapt to ruby class/module mechanism.
- A class/module can have plural textdomains.
- a message is looked up in its class/module and ancestors.
- CGI support (gettext/cgi)
- Locale is retrieved from client informations using Ruby-Locale. (HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET, QUERY_STRING(lang), Cookies(lang)).
- String%() is extended to use named argument such as <tt>%{foo}" %{:foo => 1}</tt>. Notes that Ruby-1.9.x supports this format by itself.
- The mo-file is compatible with GNU gettext(msgfmt).
- Pure ruby library (Since 1.90.0)
- JRuby support(Since 1.90.0)
- Ruby on Rails support (gettext/rails)
- CGI support (gettext/cgi)
Ruby 1.8.4 or later<URL:http://www.ruby-lang.org/>
GNU gettext 0.10.35 or later
If you are developer of an application which uses Ruby-GetText-Package, it's better to prepare this to maintain your po/mo files because of some useful tools.
For MS Windows, I highly recommand to install Ruby-GNOME2 Win32 GUI Installer since it includes GNU gettext. Notice to install Development environment, not Runtime environment.
If you are a user of the application(not developer), you don't need this.
Racc-1.4.3 or later
If you need to compile src/rmsgfmt.ry by yourself. Usually you don't need this.
#from rubyforge (sudo/su on POSIX system) gem install gettext
download tar-ball
# De-Compress archive and enter its top directory. (sudo/su on POSIX system) ruby setup.rb
You can also install files in your favorite directory by supplying setup.rb some options. Try <tt>ruby setup.rb --help</tt>.
Environment Variables for users
Set your locale. ja_JP.eucJP, ja_JP.UTF-8, etc. If it's not set, it's set C under a UNIX environment, and it's read from the system environment under MS Windows.
$export LC_ALL="ja_JP.eucJP"
Set output-charset. UTF-8, euc-jp, etc. Usually, you don't need to set this variable.
$export OUTPUT_CHARSET="euc-jp"
Set RUBYOPT=rubygems if you install Ruby-GetText-Package with the gem command.
$export RUBYOPT=rubygems
This program is licenced under the same licence as Ruby. (See the file 'COPYING'.)

I always think it's crazy when people complain about the scent of the Rimmel lipsticks, because I think they smell amazing! It's weird how that works! Anyway, I am a fair, red-headed chick, and this is my perfect MLBB shade. I can see how it wouldn't work for all skin tones, but it definitely works for me. A lot of nude shades make me look dead, but not this one. It's beautiful and the finish is lovely.

Love it !! I have been in search of MLBB lipstick and this one rocks. I have tried many high end lipsticks and nothing matches my natural lip colour as perfectly( I am NW25 for reference). I was happy to get it on sale, but I wouldn't mind paying a full price. This is surely a new HG for me.
Airy fairy is a matte nude-pink lipstick. Verry creamy texture! It goes well on the application,it brings a nice nude-pink color to the lips! It stays on pretty long! I use mauve lip liner by nyx with it, and a nude-pink lipgloss by l'oreal. Love it!
Fabulous colour... your lips but better and as always, love the taste and texture of Rimmel lipsticks. I purchased this one and Crush. I love them both. With that being said, I need to wear a darker lip liner with both or else I looked washed out... I wear MAC half red.
One of my favorites!!!! I have high end lipsticks and always find myself coming back to this one :)

Just bought this on my search for the perfect CHEAP nude lipstick and I really like it. I am very fair with platinum blonde hair and this colour really suits my complexion; it has enough pink undertones that I can pull it off (most nudes tend to look brownish on me), the texture is really nice and best of all, it's only $5 CAD! The only downside is that is does have a scent when first applied - though it quickly wears off I still took off a lippy because I think scents in makeup products are unnecessary and can pose problems for those with allergies and sensitive skin. All in all, though, I like the lipstick and will repurchase :)

What I wanted MAC Creme Up to be. This is perfect for me im NC25 with fair skin and dark blonde hair. Pinky nude with no shimmer or any weird browntones. This is like if MAC Modesty & Creme Cup had a baby~
Wore great for hours! No creasing or line smudging and I put it on without lip liner and no running! Amazing shade for 4.00

Shade description: light pink
- pigmented
- long wearing
- drying
Comments: Love this. To my understanding this shade still exists, but was reformulated and is not the mauve pink it once was. Honestly, the new version is great. It reminds me a little of L'Oreal's "fairest nude", but less nude. It looks more beige pink in the tube, but translates into a very pretty pink on my lips. Rimmel has some very pretty soft pinks if you're into that.
Will repurchase.

I had to buy this from amazon, because they don't stock it in stores in Austin, but it was absolutely worth the extra shipping. This is probably the most flattering everyday lipstick I've ever used, and the texture is like much more expensive brands. Definitely a keeper.
(I'm a redhaired PPP.)

I got this off Amazon for £3 from Faith Cosmetics what a bargain :) I bought this as I was looking for a dupe for my Mac Creme Cup and In some lighting it does look very very similar this has a lovely creamy feel on the lips with a slight golden undertone to it, it's perfect for everyday lipstick I love the smell of this lipstick but some have said it smells cheap but I don't mind the smell at all I'm really gutted they don't sell this shade here In the UK so I guess my new bestie amazon will do jus fine :)

TVA, Local Fire Departments Join Forces for Kingston Drill THIS IS ONLY A DRILL
April 13, 2012
KINGSTON, Tenn. The Tennessee Valley Authority and local fire departments will be conducting an annual drill Thursday, April 19, to ensure coordination of emergency response plans and procedures involving the Kingston Fossil Plant.
The National Incident Management System (NIMS) will be used to respond during this exercise. NIMS is a comprehensive national approach to managing incidents that applies to all regions of the country and all emergency management disciplines.
Including local fire departments in the exercise helps ensure that if an event occurs, all agencies are familiar with each other's procedures and can quickly respond together to eliminate any threat to the general public.
Remember, this is only a drill. Fire trucks and rescue vehicles will be involved in the exercise, but will not use their lights or sirens to help limit public concerns.
For more information on the drill or to contact the Kingston Fossil Plant, call Beth Jackson at (865) 717-2501.
The Tennessee Valley Authority, a corporation owned by the U.S. government, provides electricity for business customers and distribution utilities that serve 9 million people in parts of seven southeastern states at prices below the national average. TVA, which receives no taxpayer money and makes no profits, also provides flood control, navigation and land management for the Tennessee River system and assists utilities and state and local governments with economic development.

Reliable, comfortable, elegant
Bracelets and clasps play a full part in the unique pleasure of wearing a Rolex watch. Their ergonomics are carefully studied, while their robustness and reliability, their aesthetics and lustre are all inherent to the personality of the timepiece.
Like the Oyster case, they are the product of a complex alchemy of form and function. Their design, development and production, as well as the stringent tests they face, involve advanced high technology. And, as with all the components of the watch, aesthetic controls by the human eye guarantee impeccable beauty.
Crowning security, sensorial delight
No other part of a Rolex is subject to such regular manipulation as the clasp, a tactile bond between the watch and its wearer. Few are so crucial to the security of a Rolex owner's prized possession and to their comfort.
The new-generation Oysterlock clasp reconciles the demands made on the Professional watches, with a sublime blend of robust yet sophisticated engineering, simple handling, smooth lines and, above all, security.
Diving in comfort mode
Created from 904L steel with its increased chromium content, this corrosion-resistant double expansion bracelet was designed for a life lived underwater. Its patented Rolex Glidelock clasp lets divers expand then band to 18 mm in precise 1.8 mm increments, while the Fliplock extension links enable the band to be adjusted by an additional 26 mm.
This remarkable extension allows for a secure and comfortable fit over the most protective diving suits.
- Rolex bracelet
- brace • let
- The iconic band that comfortably secures a Rolex to the wrist.
- In distinctive Oyster, Jubilee, Pearlmaster or President styles.
- Characterised by solid-link construction for uncompromising strength.
- The patented Easylink system effortlessly extends the length for added comfort.
- Fastened securely and comfortably with patented folding clasps.
- The perfect balance between elegance, function and reliability.
- The Rolex Way.
Rolex bracelets are highly distinctive
Oyster Bracelet
Introduced in the late 1930s, this robust metal bracelet with its flat three‑piece links remains the mainstay of the Oyster collection. It is fitted on the entire range of Professional watches, but also on some classic models such as the Datejust, Day-Date and Sky-Dweller. It can be equipped with all types of Rolex clasps (Oysterclasp, Oysterlock and Crownclasp) and can include the Easylink comfort extension link system.
Rolex bracelets are highly distinctive
Jubilee Bracelet
This supple and comfortable five-piece link metal bracelet was designed specially for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust in 1945. It is always fitted with Crownclasp, the concealed clasp.
Rolex bracelets are highly distinctive
President Bracelet
This refined, exclusive metal bracelet with semi-circular three-piece links was created in 1956 for the launch of the prestigious Oyster Perpetual Day-Date, the first wristwatch to display the date and day of the week spelt out in full on the dial. The President bracelet is reserved today for the Day-Date and for certain versions of the Datejust in precious metals. It is always fitted with a Crownclasp.
Rolex bracelets are highly distinctive
Pearlmaster Bracelet
Both sensual and sophisticated, this metal bracelet with rounded five-piece links was created in 1992 for the launch of the Lady-Datejust Pearlmaster model. The Pearlmaster bracelet is always fitted with a Crownclasp.

Possible Apple Investigation?
Apple under antitrust enforcer scrutiny due to new subscription app model.
According to the Wall Street Journal, publishing companies aren't the only groups weary of Apple's new subscription app model for the iPad tablet. Reportedly, both the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission have begun examining the terms of the model, according to people familiar with the matter.
In question is whether or not Apple is violating U.S. antitrust laws by directing media companies' customers into the iTunes store's payment system and the 30 percentage share Apple receives when a subscriber buys through iTunes.
Apple's sub model may draw more than just complaints from publishers. A Michigan health-insurance company was recently sued by the Justice Department due to allegedly utilizing clauses similar to Apple's in order to "hobble rivals".
To build a relevant case, antitrust enforcers would have to demonstrate that Apple holds market power and is abusing it. Apple only corners 16 percentage of the mobile market with the iPhone, but holds 75 percentage of the worldwide tablet market. They would also have to determine to what extent publishers have to depend on Apple's technology to deliver their product to consumers.
These figures very well may change as Dell, HP and Motorola are set to release tablets within the upcoming months.
