Vanity Fair upped its Oscar game last night. They build a huge multi level tented building in the parking behind Sunset Plaza. Traffic snaked back and forth on Sunset Boulevard in both directions. There was a big security plan, with metal detectors at the check in. And then you arrived to find an avalanche of stars. Stars and stars. Two by two, or three by three, they came.
Inside the main room, just to the right, if you could find them through the fog of formally attired people, Jane Fonda and Anjelica Huston set up a beach head. Many stars, old and young, were crowded into this area including Jane's beau, Richard Perry, and Sarah Paulson, plus Quincy Jones, who was busy looking for Petra Nemcova, and Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks. Rosaria Dawson and Gabrielle Union weren't far away. Sitting on a couch in a section nearby, the fabulous oldies group– Mickey Rooney and Martin Landau. And they were hosting this year's nominee June Squibb.
Praise god– Don Rickles and his wife were entertaining Don's many fans. "Do you have any Oscar jokes? I asked Rickles. "If you're paying me!" he said. I did get a photo.
Just at the entrance to this room I tripped over Bill Hader, who was reconnecting with Will Forte and Paul Rudd, with a big group of comics around them. Hader made a beeline to see Larry David. In time that group was joined by hit pop star Ed Sheeran, who'd just come over from playing at Elton John's AIDS Foundation fundraiser. Only 23, Sheeran– who'd been hanging with Taylor Swift–is about to break out in a big way. His new single comes this week, with a new album in June.
From there I headed to the upper level party, where Bill Murray and a big group had come to occupy a huge round room with Art Deco-ish banquettes– a hold over from past VF parties. They store their sets! This is where a lot of guests were dining on In and Out Burgers. Here were lots of people carrying Oscars, from "Gravity" and "12 Years a Slave" crew to winner Lupita Nyong'o. Super model Karolina Kurklova and her husband Archie Drury were getting burgers. Amazing since it looks she only eats celery stalks!
And yes, chowing down, was our old pal Kerry Washington, a month away from giving birth, radiant and round.

This Week in Movies by Pete Hammond: 'The Green Hornet'
By Pete Hammond
Hollywoodnews.com: Sony Pictures was trying to replicate June in January with the release of a summery-type masked superhero flick, The Green Hornet. They even spent extra bucks converting it from 2D to 3D (pointlessly) to further convince moviegoers this is really a warm weather blockbuster wearing a winter coat. With an estimate of $40 million over the four day Martin Luther King holiday weekend, the film did respectable numbers and, with a B+ got fairly high grades from Cinemascore audience surveys, predictably from those patrons under 25. This one decided to go for the jokes and features Seth Rogen in a loud, over-the-top turn as a slacker son who suddenly inherits his tycoon dad's powerful newspaper when the old man dies after being stung by a bee. Teaming up with sidekick Kato, played by Taiwanese pop superstar Jay Chou they decide to create a bad boy persona taking on the air of vigilantes out to get the L.A. street gangs until a higher calling turns the dynamic duo into genuine heroes of course. With bright colors, a souped up Chrysler , lots of chases and some hoary gags and jokes there's enough here to pass the time until the next thing comes along. Unfortunately this is all a bit too retro to really register as more than a blip and certainly doesn't seem worth the reported $120 to $150 price tag. Converting it to 3D just to make extra bucks wasn't really necessary. There's nothing remotely interesting about any of the 3D effects and, in fact, it's only during the sprightly and attractive closing credits do we get any genuine 3D images at all and that's when most people are heading down the aisles to exit. 'Hornet' was always a second class citizen to Batman and now it seems ever more so in the light of the artistic leaps the caped crusader has taken under the guidance of Christopher Nolan in movies like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. In fact last spring's Kick Ass has it all over this bloated, albeit entertaining, enterprise. Clearly the hope for Sony is to clean up internationally, particularly with the Asian presence of Chou to draw people in.

Recap: the most memorable comic book-film trailers from the last 10 years
By Scott Mendelson
HollywoodNews.com: It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since the modern comic book movie revival kicked off with "X-Men" and (kinda-sorta) "Unbreakable." With the lukewarm response to the trailers to "Thor" and "Green Lantern," and the Nolan "Batman" franchise wrapping up, we may just be on the tail-end of this particular run. For the sake of my own amusement, let us take a quick trip down memory lane with the most memorable trailers in the current comic book explosion. After all, in many ways, getting that first glimpse was often more exciting than seeing the actual film. For the record, this list will only include originals; no sequels (with one exception that I'll point out). And away we go…
"X-Men" (2000): Technically, this was the second trailer, but I'm posting it here because the first glance at X-Men was an infamously awful tease, a confused, jumbled mess of random images set to techno music. This vastly improved trailer, released relatively quickly after the first one to deal with the fan backlash, actually did the job. There is a clear sense of what the plot was, a roll-call of major characters, and a compelling third-act montage of action and incident, set to music from X-Files: Fight the Future. The first tossed-off teaser nearly killed the franchise before it even began, and this second trailer saved it. I still remember being uber-excited for this trailer, both at its overall quality and a sense of deep relief that that upcoming X-Men movie had a shot at being a winner after all.
"Spider-Man" (2002): Again, this was the second piece of marketing, but it was the first real look at the movie itself. As you likely recall, the first teaser was released over summer 2001, and it was a stand-alone sequence that had Spidey stopping bank-robbers by trapping their chopper between the Twin Towers. Post-9/11 controversy aside, this full-length trailer was a stunningly-effective sell, showcasing every major character (Peter, Mary Jane, the Green Goblin, etc) and presenting the film as a living-breathing 1960s comic book come to life. Even if the trailer gave a bit too much away (the climax and the last moments in the film), it sold itself as a kicky, colorful blast, the antithesis to the dark and gloomy world of Tim Burton's Batman. Sony certainly has its work cut out for it whenever it decides to cut a [...]
Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake's "Bad Teacher" shifted to summer
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: It kind of makes sense that a movie titled "Bad Teacher" would come out in the summertime.
That's what's happening, now that Sony has shifted Jake Kasden's black comedy "Bad Teacher" to its new release date, June 17, 2011.
"We love how this movie is shaping up, and our early test screenings confirm our confidence," said Jeff Blake, chairman of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Sony Pictures. "We have had tremendous results with summer comedies in the past several years, from 'Superbad' and 'Step Brothers' to 'Grown Ups' and 'The Other Guys.' Summer audiences want movies that will make them laugh out loud and we think 'Bad Teacher' is the perfect choice for older teens and adults who are looking for a film that will make them look at the high school experience and do just that."
More from the release:
The comedy, which centers on a hilariously foul-mouthed, bitter, and irreverent middle school teacher, stars Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Lucy Punch, John Michael Higgins, and Jason Segel, and is directed by Jake Kasdan, written by Gene Stupnitsky & Lee Eisenberg, and produced by Mosaic's Jimmy Miller and David Householter.

"Spider-Man" snags Dennis Leary in its casting web
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: The cast of Marc Webb's "Spider-Man" reboot (this thing needs an official title, soon) continues to fill out with excellent choices. Sony isn't going for stunt casting, grabbing name-brand celebs to gussy up the marquee. I'm looking at you, Gov. Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze.
Instead, they are lucking into talented performers like Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone who happen to be on the rise but have the chops to back up their fame. Rhys Ifans sounds like he'll be an intriguing, multi-faceted villain. Having Martin Sheen and Sally Field (once she's confirmed) as Uncle Ben and Aunt May is inspired. And today, a comedian with dramatic flair joins the ranks.
Dennis Leary is in negotiations to join "Spider-Man" as police captain George Stacy, father of Peter Parker's love interest Gwen (Stone). Sure, Leary is a comedian. But anyone who has watched him on FX's "Rescue Me" knows he has far more range than most stand-ups. Of course, Leary will have to fill the massive shoes of comedian Jim Norton, whose line delivery in the first "Spider-Man" stole that show away from legitimate stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. Perhaps Norton can return for this reboot? Surely there is room for this talented thespian?
Webb's "Spider-Man" reboot is supposed to begin filming this December. It will be in theaters on July 3, 2012.

'This Week In Movies' – 'Unstoppable,' 'Skyline,' 'Morning Glory'
By Pete Hammond
HollywoodNews.com: Hollywood has two major movie seasons: Summer which starts the first week in May (at least as far as the film industry is concerned) and the Holiday season which for all intents and purposes kicks in the first week of November. That would mean we are already in the thick of it and if that is the case it's looking pretty underwhelming at this point. The week's big new popcorn action film opening, "Unstoppable" (also known as speed on speed) actually drew an incredibly strong 85% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes, but even with raves from critics couldn't score the number one spot at the box office, settling instead for second and a decent, but not unstoppable estimate of $23.5 million. With the potent pairing of Denzel Washington, "Star Trek's" Chris Pine and director Tony Scott this should have burned up the megaplexes but now will have to rely on word of mouth (it got an A- Cinemascore rating) to stem the "Harry Potter" tsunami that is about to hit next weekend. With Russell Crowe's adult appeal thriller, "The Next Three Days" also be thrown into the mix, "Unstoppable" will have to try to stop everything in it's path or face derailment even before the holidays really kick in with, well, an actual holiday like Thanksgiving. For my money it's way better than last year's train-themed Washington/Scott flick, "The Taking Of Pelham 123." I can't help but think that, different as the two films are (Pelham was a Subway train), audiences may have thought it was a bit déjà vu. I mean how many times is Denzel going to drink out of the same well. The fact is the current picture almost went off the tracks during pre-production when 20th Century Fox tried to lower the budget and Washington's reps reportedly balked at getting anything less than his normal quote which is a cool $20 mil. Obviously in the end it all worked out, Denzel signed on and the movie got made. Still you have to think Fox must be a little disappointed they aren't leading the pack. Pre-release tracking was said to be predicting a less-than-blockbuster opening which is why the studio decided to sneak the picture last weekend to goose word of mouth.
Perhaps "Unstoppable" lost a little business to another high testosterone picture new to the marketplace this week, Universal [...]
Dave Brubeck's 90th birthday to be celebrated with new documentary
HollywoodNews.com: With each passing decade, Dave Brubeck continues to amaze millions of fans across the globe. His quartet performed more than 50 concerts in 2010, and Brubeck still creates new composi¬tions. On Monday, Dec. 6, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) will celebrate Brubeck's 90th birthday with the premiere of "Dave Brubeck: In His Own Sweet Way," a new documentary executive-produced by Clint Eastwood.
The documentary takes its name from one of Brubeck's most famous tunes, "In Your Own Sweet Way." Dave Brubeck: In His Own Sweet Way was produced and directed by filmmaker and longtime Eastwood collaborator Bruce Ricker, whose credits include "Tony Bennett: The Music Never Ends," "Thelonious Monk: Straight No Chaser," "The Last of the Blue Devils" and TCM's Emmy®-nominated "Johnny Mercer: The Dream's On Me." Alec Baldwin is the narrator. In addition to serving as executive producer of the film, Eastwood chairs the Honorary Board of the Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif.
"Dave Brubeck: In His Own Sweet Way" tells Brubeck's personal story, including his early musical training; studies with Darius Milhaud, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, featuring Paul Desmond; and the musical revolution caused by his introduction of new time signatures in jazz, such as in the jazz standard Take Five.
"Dave Brubeck: In His Own Sweet Way" features contemporary interviews, including George Lucas, Sting, Bill Cosby, Jamie Cullum, David Benoit and Yo-Yo Ma. Also included are previously unseen archival footage and photographs; vintage performances from the Newport Jazz Festival and the Monterey Jazz Festival; and a never-before-seen interview with Dave Brubeck and Walter Cronkite. Finally, here are also interviews filmed for the documentary with Dave and Iola Brubeck, that captures their longtime romance and artistic collaboration,
TCM's premiere of "Dave Brubeck: In His Own Sweet Way" will be accompanied by "All Night Long" (1962), a jazz update of Shakespeare's Othello featuring a great Brubeck performance. The Brubeck celebration will be preceded by a quartet of jazz films: "Blues in the Night" (1941), "Paris Blues" (1961), "Young Man with a Horn" (1950) and "The Strip" (1950).
In advance of Brubeck's birthday, Legacy Recordings will release "Dave Brubeck: Legacy of a Legend," a new 21-track double-CD compilation with every track handpicked by Brubeck. The commemorative collection, featuring extensive annotation and anecdotal liner notes written by his son Darius, will be available at all physical and digital retail [...]

I'm not a pet It's a bit more complicated than that! x
Welcome back cutie! More of the previous please!
I think a lot of people enjoy your posts. I like your subtle humour. Well sort of subtle. I liked a comment today but sadly twas removed. Keep up the good work .
Thank you hunny. Seems not many people are of the same mind as you. Funny how after I say I am wrong I receive more bad rep than my initial comments.
Don't let yourself be brought down. I enjoy reading your posts, albeit the majority bait, however there's always hindsight; as something informative always gets spat out as a rhetoric answer.

Three years ago al-Qaeda was a potent force in Iraq. Today it is in full retreat – the US military believes it has dealt devastating, and perhaps irreversible blows to the organisation in recent months, with many of its leaders eliminated or behind bars.
While US airstrikes that killed top commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan mean further losses for al-Qaeda, the current political conditions in Iraq may favour its resurgence.
Those conditions include a deadlock in the outcome of the electoral process, and a Shiite-dominated alliance that many Sunni Arabs perceive as exclusionary.
The increasing marginalisation of the Sunni Arab Sahwa (awakening) Councils could also lead to reversal of their anti-Qaeda policy.
Nouri al-Maliki, Iyad Allawi, and other leading politicians have warned against a return to political violence if they are denied power.
For their part, the Sahwa commanders have warned that security conditions could easily slip back to those of the notorious 2006-2007 period, if they are not fully reintegrated into the Iraqi system.
To discuss the presence and the future of al-Qaeda in Iraq, we are joined by Raanan Gissin in Tel Aviv, a former senior advisor to Ariel Sharon, and Abdel Bari Atwan, the editor-in-chief of al-Quds al-Arabi in London.This episode of Inside Iraq can be seen from Friday, July 16, at the following times GMT: Friday: 1730, 2230; Saturday: 0300, 0830; Sunday: 0600, 1230; Monday: 0130.

text: Dear Friends: I am committed to reform of the Juvenile Justice system. The March 30 shootings in Southeast underscored the need for more transparency. Last year, I authored legislation allowing the D.C. Council to review juvenile records. Last week, I introduced legislation to improve transparency of juvenile cases among the MPD, DYRS, CSS and other relevant agencies. I have taken advantage of the law to review six case files. Those reviewed files have led to good substantive changes in juvenile release policy. We need to stop the "revolving door" of juvenile offenders. Such offenders have more to fear from the streets than they do from the courts and DYRS. We need meaningful rehabilitation, or for those more serious offenders, detention to the age of 21. Please read my opinion editorial<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/19/AR2010041903622_pf.html>on this that appeared in The Washington Post Sunday by clicking the link or continue below: Bests, Councilmember Jim Graham <http://www.washingtonpost.com/> *In D.C., a deadly disconnect on youth violence* By Jim Graham Washington Sunday, April 25, 2010; C05 The March 30 shooting<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/31/AR2010033100707.html>that left four teenagers dead and five others injured in Southeast Washington exposes the lack of coordination between the city's youth and adult criminal justice systems. We have now learned that the 14-year-old boy who had been accused of taking part in this crime was wrongly charged and has been fully exonerated. But that doesn't put every question to rest. How is it that he was in a position to get caught up in this story in the first place? As has been reported, he had run away from a community-based residential treatment program under the auspices of the D.C. Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services. With regard to DYRS, my concerns peaked last year in the case involving Lafonte Carlton<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/19/AR2009031903427.html>. Carlton was 15 in August 2006, when he admitted killing a man in Ward 1. He spent two years in secured settings at a variety of locations -- until November 2008, when DYRS released him back into the community with no support services in place. Within two months, Carlton allegedly killed two more people. He is now awaiting trial in adult court. To break this cycle, we must bridge the chasm between DYRS and the Court Social Services (CSS). Last year's "Blueprint for Action<http://https/hsdl.org/hslog/?q=node/4898>," a report on gang violence in the city prepared by the Healthy Families/Thriving Communities Collaborative Council<http://dccollaboratives.org/>, stated the problem succinctly. "The District has two distinct systems serving juvenile offenders," the report said. "This separation in care and planning for D.C. youth offenders creates many structural barriers to good, comprehensive planning and results in unnecessary threats to the youth and community." Or, as one city official told me last week: "Something has to be done; we are dealing with the same kids." DYRS has been troubled for years. A decade ago, Mayor Anthony A. Williams convened the Blue Ribbon Commission on Youth Safety and Juvenile Justice Reform to address a plenitude of challenges with the agency. Among the commission's welcomed recommendations was the closing of the rightly maligned Oak Hill Youth Detention Center. But some of the results of its other reforms may now need to be reconsidered -- such as the limited number of beds at the New Beginnings Center and the hasty release of youths who have committed serious crimes. We want the young people in DYRS's care to be successful and safe when they return to our communities, but too often they are released prematurely and without proper support. We shouldn't forget that both of the adults first arrested in this case were either under supervision or well known to the adult court system. Meanwhile, there are 1,800 youths on CSS probation in the city. In other words, the courts, and not the District government, have responsibility for 80 percent of young offenders. Not enough is known about these young people. How well are their mental health and substance abuse problems being diagnosed and treated? Are they receiving all the local and federal social services they are eligible for? Why are some of them committing new crimes? According to the Council for Court Excellence<http://www.courtexcellence.org/>, a young person will appear before a CSS judge three times on average before he or she is committed to DYRS. But then, once the youth is committed, all financial and supervisory responsibility for the case shifts away from CSS to the District. Recently, I met with D.C. Superior Court Chief Judge Lee F. Satterfield to discuss these issues. He is as frustrated as I am, and he agrees that change is needed. Giving the court limited authority to monitor cases it has committed to DYRS could be a good first step, but more needs to be done. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton and Judge Satterfield should immediately form a commission to develop reforms to increase coordination, transparency and accountability among CSS, DYRS, the Metropolitan Police Department and other agencies. The commission's recommendations should include legislative actions the D.C. Council could take to expedite information-sharing and services between all the involved agencies. It is time to halt the revolving door of the juvenile justice system and get our kids the help they deserve. *The writer, a Democrat, represents Ward 1 on the D.C. Council* -- I typically answer emails before 9 AM on weekdays. If you email me after that, it is likely that you will hear from me the next weekday.

Former Ducks assistant coach Paul MacLean is expected to interview for the vacant Columbus Blue Jackets coaching position, according to the Post Dispatch.
MacLean has been an assistant under Mike Babcock for the past seven seasons - two with the Ducks (2002-04) and five with Detroit (2005-present). Babcock and MacLean were coaches on the 2003 Ducks team that made it to the Stanley Cup Finals, and the two helped solve a 2009 Ducks team that pushed the Red Wings to seven games in last season's conference semifinals.
MacLean is a highly regarded assistant who specializes on the power play.
Columbus is one of four current open coaching positions in the NHL along with Atlanta, New Jersey and Tampa Bay.
The Blue Jackets fired Ken Hitchcock in February and replaced him with interim coach Claude Noel.

I have to admit - I'm a bit of an Olympic junkie. There's just something very appealing about the entire world coming together to compete in fair minded play and to celebrate the efforts of all these hard working incredible athletes. Now having said that, we know that the reality often falls far short of the ideal; but for every doper trying to beat the system there are still hundreds of athletes playing their guts out for the love of their sport and country and these are the competitors that draw me back year after year.
If you are not watching the Olympics (CTV) (NBC) which start tomorrow, do the next best thing and watch a movie about the Olympics. Multi award winner Chariots of Fire is certainly worth your time and features the haunting score by Vangelis.
CPL has a great many titles that are not necessarily about the Olympics, but sports movies, and it is quite a mixed bag. Some of my faves are Invictus, Million Dollar Baby, The Natural, Bend It Like Beckham, Field of Dreams, and Iqbal. Or spend some time with The Flying Scotsman- you won't be disappointed. When We Were Kings is a compelling documentary of the 1974 heavyweight championship bout in Zaire between then champion George Foreman and underdog challenger Muhammad Ali. Not my cup of tea, but it did win cutey-pie Sandra Bullock an Oscar---The Blind Side. Or from this year, Money Ball with Brad Pitt in his Oscar nominated performance. And even though the franchise did go steadily downhill afterward, there is no denying the original Rocky is still one of the best sports movies ever made. Try any of these: Pride of the Yankees, Eight Men Out, Raging Bull, Brian's Song (have the hankies ready), Remember the Titans and the original The Longest Yard. You will barely recognize Batman (Christian Bale) in The Fighter, more cautionary tale than true sports movie, but very good. Warrior earned Nick Nolte an Oscar nod for best supporting actor this year. The Wrestler helped resurrect Mickey Rourke's career and is a gut wrenching look behind the scenes of the wrestling world, just as Requiem for a Heavyweight looks at the underbelly of boxing.
There are numerous movies about equestrian sports and many more about golf. But I just can't bring myself to watch a golf movie- it's almost as boring as watching a golf game (with apologies to all you golfers).
For the younger crowd there is Ice Princess, Air Bud (at least 5 different ones), Sandlot, Space Jam, Bad News Bears (original only) and any of the Karate Kids- new or old.
Teens: Stick It, Rudy, and Whip It
Series: Friday Night Lights- we have all five seasons
Funny: It's been quite awhile since I've seen it but have a look at Cool Runnings- the story of the Jamaican bobsled team that competed in the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. Or Nacho Libre---Jack Black's take on Luchadors (Mexican wrestlers), and Will Ferrell in Taladega Nights and Blades of Glory.
The opening ceremonies are being produced by Danny Boyle, who you will know from such films as Slum Dog Millionaire, Trainspotting, The Beach, Millions and 127 hours. They held a dress rehearsal on Monday night and the word is ' unlike anything you have ever seen before'. I was dazzled by the Vancouver opening ceremonies in 2010 so am eager to see what Boyle has in store for the 80,000 in the stadium and the 100's of millions out here in tv land.
Let the games begin.........................

PKP Bugzilla – Bug 6615
add Cross-ref reference deposit and "cited-by" functionality
Last modified: 2014-01-21 06:47:20 PST
See http://www.crossref.org/citedby/index.html
Add Crossref's "Cited by" functionality to OJS, so that we can display any articles that cite a given article in an OJS journal. To do this, we need to add reference deposit functionality to OJS' Crossref XML export plugin -- Crossref only allows cited-by functionality to those who deposit their references.
Some notes:
-- Reference deposit to Crossref can happen in two ways: a) during the normal article XML metadata deposit (see http://www.crossref.org/depositSchema/crossref3.0.1.xsd); or b) separately, as a "reference only" XML deposit (see http://www.crossref.org/depositSchema/doi_citations1.0.1.xsd), which is useful if the article has been deposited previously.
-- Reference deposit more or less requires output from the Citation Markup Assistant. Article reference lists that are extracted/parsed/stored by the CMA then should be a) added to the Crossref XML Export file, which will require an extension of the XML Export plugin; and/or b) available as an XML export option after the Editor has approved all citations, in the CMA itself (along with the current NLM options).
-- It looks like the XML export information, which up until now has been submitted manually to Crossref by editors, could also be deposited by HTTP POST: see http://doi.crossref.org/doc/SystemInterface.html#asynsubupload. For this to happen, a Crossref login/password credential must be supplied.
-- Similarly, it looks like "cited by" information can be retrieved by HTTP: see http://doi.crossref.org/doc/RTQueries.html.
-- "cited by" information should be retrieved, parsed (& added to its own table? how granular?), and displayed with the published article, likely in the RT and/or along with the abstract. I'm not sure how often this information should be retrieved -- every time an article is viewed?
I'll be investigating this some more and will add notes as relevant. I don't think this will be a trivial task.
Created attachment 3984 [details]
JBCD Volume 12 issue 1 year 2002
DrAbdalbasit, I'm not sure what your intention is in uploading attachment #3984 [details], but this probably isn't the place to do it.
I'm also interested in depositing references to Crossref. It seems that currently the Export citations tab in the Citation manager does not offer Crossref compatible output: http://help.crossref.org/#depositing-references
The only two options for XML export of the citation list are two versions of NLM Journal Publishing ref list, but that is differently formed as the Crossref reference deposit XML format.

WILSON, N.C. --The NAACP is fighting for the freedom of a Wilson native they say unjustly got life in prison.
John McNeil shot and killed a white man, who he testified was threatening he and his son with a knife on their property.
The McNeils lived in Georgia when it happened and now, his wife is asking for his release.
"As Father's Day approaches, I stand for my sons; sons whose father was taken at an important time in their life; a father who was not only loving and kind and supportive but was also teaching them on how to be a man," said Anita McNeil.
According to the NAACP, the John McNeil defense committee hired a lawyer in Georgia who recently argued to an appellate judge that there is evidence of unfairness in his trial.
The court's decision is pending.

Aluminum Wheel RepairFixing bent or battered alloy rims
The typical American use-it-up-then-toss-it-out mentality makes us overlook a lot of things that can indeed be repaired rather than replaced. In fact, most people probably don't know that aluminum wheels fall into the repairable category. Whether you want your wheel(s) rebuilt because a new one is really expensive or you simply have a soft spot for a wheel that's no longer available is irrelevant.
Companies such as MC Motorsports specialize in renewing wheels that are damaged or just plain worn out. To the street crowd, wearing out a set of wheels may sound odd, but four-wheelers do it all the time. (Aluminum-and even steel for that matter-is softer than rocks.) On the other hand, you're far more likely to hit a curb when driving on the street.
Repairing a worn-out aluminum wheel is much like bodywork: The first step is to rid it of any high spots, then fill in the voids. Finally, the finished surface is established. At MC Motorsports, a regular small grinder is used to smooth down any protrusions and sharp edges; this is the only part of the process that most anybody could do in the driveway. Next, using a TIG welder, material is added as needed, often around the entire circumference of the wheel's outer lip. Last, but certainly not the least from a DIY's point of view, the wheel is chucked up in a very big lathe and machined to as-new perfection-sometimes even better.
It sounds like a relatively simple process, and it is. At least for wheel repair companies that have the necessary machinery and the expertise in repairing wheels that would otherwise have to be replaced.

Crash victim's friends want to prevent similar deaths
WOLCOTT — Friends and family of a motorcyclist who died last month after being struck by a distracted driver want to make sure no one dies under the same tragic circumstances.
Terry Doyle, 53, was riding his 1978 Kawasaki Z1R 1000 — which he bought when he was 19 — on Meriden Road June 25 when he was struck from behind by a woman driving a Subaru Legacy who, police say, was surfing the Internet on her cellphone.

We're really proud to be supporting the Big Minx Challenge; please check out the link and give generously.
I have been playing with Flex a bit, to write an Flash application for my masters degree (I find the flex environment much better for programming than flash), and like most people working with flash I have come up against the cross domain issue (where the player won't pull data from a domain which doesn't have a cross domain policy allowing them to do so). This is a problem for the application I am working with, because I want to pull RSS feeds.
The obvious answer, a php proxy. In a way that makes it sound grander than it is because all it really is is a script to pull data from a remote source to get around the cross domain issue.
here is the script (simplified):
header("Content-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8");
$url = $_GET['url'];
Now the code pulls back the feed as expected, but prepends this:
immediately before the content. Where does that come from, any ideas? Wherever it comes from it obviously means the feed won't parse!
In the end, I used curl like this (simplified):
header("Content-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8");
// note that this will not follow redirects
$url = $_GET['url'];
// create a new curl resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser
// close curl resource, and free up system resources

As a web developer, I love the fact that my work machine can run apache, mysql and php. It makes my working life so much easier than all that ftp'ing then testing. It becomes even more important when you are working with Subversion; I think it good practice to work on a particular bit of a project until it is basically working, before those changes are committed. So my set up is that my SVN working copies become my apache docroots.
So, I usually have Apache 2 set up (along with MySQL, and PHP), via MacPorts, and using 'dynamically configured mass virtual hosting'.
This basically means that any calls to my local apache server will look in my sites folder for a directory with the same name as the requested domain name. In order to get the domains working under Mac OS X Tiger, I would just edit /etc/hosts pointing each domain to 127.0.0.1, then restart lookupd, and the whole system would work.
Great … except when Apple developed Leopard, they removed lookupd and thus, my means of pointing my local domains to my local server. Read on for the answer …

After a bit of searching, I found an answer; dnsmasq. Here is a quick run down of what I did to get it working under Leopard. NB: This is pretty MacPorts centric because that's how I did it, and thus assumes you are doing the same! This also requires a bit of terminal work.
sudo port install dnsmasq
sudo cp /opt/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf.sample /opt/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf
Find line 58 (#address=/doubleclick.net/127.0.0.1):
I added the following at line 59:
This points anything.localsites to 127.0.0.1 (obviously change this to whatever you want)
Then I enabled the 'no-hosts' directive at line 92:
sudo nano /Library/LaunchDaemonscom.steamshift.dnsmasq
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.steamshift.dnsmasq</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/opt/local/sbin/dnsmasq</string> <string>-d</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> </dict> </plist>
and save.
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.steamshift.dnsmasq.plist
Hopefully, if I haven't left out any steps, you should now be able to visit (for example, as set up above): mysite.localsites and be directed to your local apache server.
Please comment with your experiences with this!

After posting this, I received a helpful email from 'Damian Bourne' who pointed out the following:
Just read your blog entry on lookupd and dnsmasq.
I'm NOT saying anything bad about dnsmasq.. I use it lots of places.
I just wanted to let you know that lookupd was replaced with dscacheutil (as far as the command line is concerned), and that /etc/hosts still works.
I found that I didn't even need to flush the dns cache anymore for this to work, even when flip-flopping things around.
All the best,
Cool - another way, always useful. I think I will continue to use DNSMasq because of the wild card stuff, however, I have found one minor annoyance … which may force me back to /etc/hosts - if you don't have an internet connection, you can't seem to point to a DNS server; Also when I am logged in via VPN to my uni network, I can't add my DNS server to the VPN network access. Hmm - any thoughts - please leave comments!
If like mine (until this morning) has been exibiting the behaviour of shutting itself down (with no prior warning) after 15 or so minutes running on battery power (but is fine when plugged into the mains); it could well be a battery problem. I took my (6 months out of warranty) machine into my local Apple Store this morning, was given a replacement battery and am now happily running on battery once more.

It has taken some time, but I am pleased to present an update to our Virtual BCF2000 Application (original release post). The key features of this release are the removal of the requirement to use MidiPipe, and various bug fixes.
We have new customisable 'Pro' versions in the works - watch this space!
As before, enjoy (and if you use it let us know how we can make it better). SteamSHIFT out.

A while back, I was doing some work with Arduino, passing serial data to the mac to a small application written with Processing which converted the serial data into MIDI data and pushed it out into other apps. Now Processing is a Java thing; and the standalone applications it creates are Java applications.
All fine, but a mere few days before an assessment, I couldn't get the Serial to Midi application to work; I recalled an article on createdigitalmotion.com which I admit, I didn't read fully, which said the following:
On the music side, Apple dumped its com.apple.audio.midi java package with 10.4.8. Result: not only do you lose all the features that make the Mac great for MIDI, like the IAC bus for inter-application MIDI routing, but your external devices also spontaneously disappear. Nice.
Now at this point, I put 2 + 2 together and got 5 … Apple have broken my app… Ahh what to do - revert my entire computer to 10.4.7?
So, I sat down and over the next few days and with much help, I managed to build (read: hack together) a serial to midi converter in Objective-C and Cocoa. Works perfectly (now!).
So, no more problem. Indeed. And not 1 day later, I remembered that I had bought an Java extension from Mandolane, which was needed for my original app. I reinstalled that and bingo, that worked too. Doh. Doh. Doh.
Oh well; I wanted to start learning Cocoa etc!

How did I never notice the Add User / Edit User / Permissions in CocoaMySQL????
I was trying to hide it away; hit command-m and there the permissions box was! Now aside from the fact that command-m is a stoopid shortcut key to use (normally is for minimise), this is a great find; apparently it's only been there since Beta 0.7b5 … so upgrade if you're not using that version.

Skin Removal
RESPECT First off, respect the specimen. Remember it was a living thing and that the purpose of dissection is learning - not destruction. Also, respect your peers. Everyone reacts to dissection in a different way; some people are fine with it the moment they enter the room, others need a few days or even weeks to become ok with it. Show your peers that you respect them by being patient and giving them the time they need to get accustomed to it. In other words, don't tease or taunt! Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
Work carefully! We will be methodically exposing various structures to be studied. Follow directions carefully (ask if you don't understand) and don't do anything that you are not instructed to do. You don't want to damage or destroy any structures that you will be studying later in the dissection (including blood vessels and nerves). Use the photos & diagrams in your lab manual and handouts for guidance.
Dissection Instruments Scalpels are primarily used for making incisions, so use them sparingly. Don't use them too much - you can easily cut into structures by accident. However, using the back of the scalpel can be useful for separating the skin from muscle. Just be careful not to twist the blade - if it breaks, see your teacher for a replacement. Dissecting needles will be your best friends - they are good for separating muscle and tracing delicate structures. Scissors, like scalpels, should be used sparingly. Be sure you know exactly what you are cutting into before you do it! Blunt probes are handy for holding back organs or exploring an area without damaging delicate structures. Forceps are also handy tools for holding structures out of the way. Experiment using the different types for different purposes. Pins are also available if you need them to hold structures out of the way. Finally, your hands are some of the best tools you can use - don't be afraid to get in there!
Safety Concerns Report any accidents to your teacher immediately! Scalpels are sharp, so be careful - never cut towards your (or your partner's) hand. Always wear gloves and goggles to limit skin exposure to the preservative. We will keep the room as well-ventilated as possible. If you need a break for some fresh air, let your teacher know and then step out until you feel better.
Beginning the Day Line your dissection tray with paper towels to absorb fluids and to hold any materials to be discarded. You will need to keep both bags that the cat comes in, so you can double-bag it for storage. Label the outer bag with your names, then cut open the bags as close to the top as you can. Pour any fluids into the sink and rinse off the cat as best you can to wash off the smelly preservatives. Lay your cat on the dissection tray and begin following your checklist. Copy the definitions of any new terminology for your A&P notes.
Skin Removal Read and follow the instructions in the lab manual (p. 18-20) carefully. Keep the skin intact in one piece. Again, use the scalpel blade only to make incisions. The back of the scalpel, a blunt probe, and your fingers are the best tools for separating the skin from muscle. Areas to be especially careful are the armpit area where the latissimus dorsi insert on the abdominal muscles. Once the skin is completely removed, begin removing excess connective tissue and fat until the muscle fibers are clearly visible.
Clean-Up Procedures Wrap the cat in its skin and then in moist paper towels to keep it from drying out. Place the cat back in the inner bag. Twist the top, then fold it over and secure with a rubber band to minimize leakage. Do the same with the outer bag. Place the cat in your class's bin for storage. Discard the paper towels, wash and dry the dissection tray, and return the tray to the supply area. Wash and dry any instruments used, then return them to the supply area. Wipe down your lab bench with the bleach solution and make sure your sink is clean. Finally, wash your hands.

Show your CU pride – nothing says "Forever Buffs" like our plates!
If you are a resident of Colorado, you can order CU license plates! Not only can you proudly show your affiliation with CU, but you will also be supporting the CU alumni scholarship program. Since the program began Jan. 1, 2000, donations for the CU license plates used in the State of Colorado have raised nearly $500,000 for scholarship programs.
Here are the steps to get a CU alumni license plate:
- Plan ahead . . . the CU License Plate certificate will be mailed to you.
- Contact the Alumni Association at 800.492.7743 to make a $50 donation and to obtain the required State of Colorado Certificate.
- Take the Certificate to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Motor Vehicles will charge a one-time $50 processing fee.
- The DMV will send you your plates via US Mail.
Please note, payment of the $50 scholarship donation to the CU Foundation does not in and of itself get you the license plate.
How long do I own my new plates for?
As long as you keep them registered – note, if you move and discontinue your registration, you will have to go through this process again to register and obtain the plates again.
How can I get the certificate for CU plates?
You can visit the CU Alumni Association (1202 University Ave., southeast corner of University and Broadway in Boulder), call 800-492-7743, 303-492-2279 or use the Alumni Association general email.
When can I get my plates and do I have to obtain them right away?
If you would like to get the plates immediately, but don't actually need to renew your license plates until a later month, the DMV will prorate the registration fee for the time remaining until your registration expires.
Can I pay for two vehicles on one application?
Yes, but make sure the names on the application exactly match the names on the vehicle title. A scholarship donation must be made for each set of plates you order. For example, if a husband and wife want plates on both of their cars, they would owe $100. Their total amount paid will be $200, with $100 going to CU and $100 to the state of Colorado.

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
Dextran is a complex, branched polysaccharide made of many glucose molecules joined into chains of varying lengths, used as an antithrombotic (anti-platelet), and to reduce blood viscosity.
The straight chain consists of α1->6 glycosidic linkages between glucose molecules, while branches begin from α1->3 linkages (and in some cases, α1->2 and α1->4 linkages as well). (For information on the numbering of carbon atoms in glucose, see the glucose article.) Dextran is synthesized from sucrose by certain lactic-acid bacteria, the best-known being Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Streptococcus mutans. Dental plaque is rich in dextrans.
Microsurgery uses
These agents are used commonly by microsurgeons to decrease vascular thrombosis. The antithrombotic effect of dextran is mediated through its binding of erythrocytes, platelets, and vascular endothelium, increasing their electronegativity and thus reducing erythrocyte aggregation and platelet adhesiveness. Dextrans also reduce factor VIII-Ag Von Willebrand factor, thereby decreasing platelet function. Clots formed after administration of dextrans are more easily lysed due to an altered thrombus structure (more evenly distributed platelets with coarser fibrin). By inhibiting α-2 antiplasmin, dextran serves as a plasminogen activator and therefore possesses thrombolytic features. Outside from these features, larger dextrans, which do not pass out of the vessels, are potent osmotic agents, and thus have been used urgently to treat hypovolemia. The hemodilution caused by volume expansion with dextran use improves blood flow, thus further improving patency of microanastomoses and reducing thrombosis. Still, no difference has been detected in antithrombotic effectiveness in comparison of intraarterial and intravenous administration of dextran.
Dextrans are available in multiple molecular weights ranging from 10,000 Da to 150,000 Da. The larger dextrans are excreted poorly from the kidney and therefore remain in the blood for as long as weeks until they are metabolized. Subsequently, they have prolonged antithrombotic and colloidal effects. In this family, dextran-40 (MW: 40,000 Da), has been the most popular member for anticoagulation therapy. Close to 70% of dextran-40 is excreted in urine within the first 24 hours after intravenous infusion while the remaining 30% will be retained for several more days.
Although there are relatively few side-effects associated with dextran use, these side-effects can be very serious. These include anaphylaxis, volume overload, pulmonary edema, cerebral edema, or platelet dysfunction. An uncommon but significant complication of dextran osmotic effect is acute renal failure. The pathogenesis of this renal failure is the subject of many debates with direct toxic effect on tubules and glomerulus versus intraluminal hyperviscosity being some of the proposed mechanisms. Patients with history of diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, or vascular disorders are most at risk. Brooks and others recommend the avoidance of dextran therapy in patients with chronic renal insufficiency and CrCl<40 cc per minute.
Other medical uses
- It is used in some eye drops as a lubricant, and in certain intravenous fluids to solubilise other factors, e.g. iron (iron dextran).
- Dextran in intravenous solution provides an osmotically neutral fluid that once in the body is digested by cells into glucose and free water. It is occasionally used to replace lost blood in emergency situations, when replacement blood is not available, but must be used with caution as it does not provide necessary electrolytes and can cause hyponatremia or other electrolyte disturbances.
- It also increases blood sugar levels.[2]
- It is also an oral bacteria waste product that is sticky and adheres to the tooth, creating a film called plaque.
Laboratory uses
Dextran is used in the osmotic stress technique for applying osmotic pressure to biological molecules.
It is also used in some size-exclusion chromatography matrices; an example is Sephadex®.
Dextran has also been used in bead form to aid in bioreactor applications.

How to Use Twitter and Facebook to Pick Stocks
Using social media to measure the sentiment of a particular company or stock is a great way to boost your investment performance, get an edge over other investors or simply add to the due diligence you are already doing. In this post I will teach you the basics of measuring the social sentiment of your next investment idea.
Using Twitter
Let's say you are interested in purchasing Nike (NYSE: NKE) stock and you have already done your basic fundamental stock research, the next step is to see what people are saying about Nike on Twitter. You could do a search for a particular Nike product or the name Nike. In my rough example I used the new Nike product called the FuelBand.
Drawing conclusions from the above chart you would say that Nike is about to have a hit with this new product, they can't make enough and it will be a global phenomenon. OK OK, I am getting ahead of myself. You can't 100% draw any of these conclusions, but I hope you get the idea of how to take into account social media sentiment when doing stock research.
Using Google Insights
Another interesting way to measure social media sentiment is to use Google Insights. You can can use different filters by regions, time and categories to get a sense of the web chatter around the FuelBand. The below chart was a simple 30 day time frame for the entire world and all categories.
Using Facebook
I had to scroll all the way back to Jan 22nd to find Nike's latest post about the FuelBand. Funny enough, the date coincides with the increase in interest from the Google Insights chart. I hope by now you can pretty much get an idea of what I am trying to do when I say "measure the social sentiment". There sure are a lot of Likes, Comments and Shares.
Using Pinterest
This is a relatively new social media sharing site, but with over 10 million unique views I wanted to see if I could learn something.
When I typed Nike in the search box, I got thousands of results where people were sharing Nike products. However, when I typed FuelBand or Nike+FuelBand I got nothing. What conclusions (if any) can I draw from this? My first reaction is that women don't like the Nike FuelBand, because Pinterest's user base is overwhelmingly female. But I am not ready to say that until I do more research.
I hope the above gave you a good sense of how a beginner investor can take advantage of Social Media sites to measure social sentiment when thinking about purchasing a stock. I hope you enjoy creating your own research projects, please share them with other investors if you do.
In closing, I want to acknowledge two resources I relied upon. I would have never thought about incorporating social media sentiment into my stock research and I feel it is appropriate to give them credit. The first resource is a gentlemen named Zachary Miller. I purchased his book Tradestream your Way to Profits: Building a Killer Portfolio in the Age of Social Media and really got a good sense of how to approach my research. Another resource I stumbled upon is a company called Topsy Labs. Topsy actually has access to the full twitter firehose and they are putting the data to good use. Though what they do is extremely advanced, you can definitely pick up some low hanging fruit by reading their white paper called Predicting Stock Prices Using Social Sentiment.
Let me leave you with this note as well: You will never be able to predict a stock price by only using social media sentiment, YOU MUST do your research and learn how to properly invest.
Please comment and give me your thoughts. Better yet, please let me know of more creative ways investors can measure social media sentiment when doing their stock research.

Thanks for the mention. I like your approach — social media is just one input (albeit an important one) into the research calculus. Always got to do your homework but the idea that we can get a realtime sentiment, a temperature reading not of the market but of investors — that's awesome power.
Great financial advice that emphasizes the importance of keeping up with the latest trends and movements. The fundamentals, regardless of industry, needs to be mastered. Thank you for your insight, and look forward to more entries.

The gimicky-sounding title, "Trusting Their Own Abilities: 6 Tips for Asset-Focused Parenting," almost turned me off, but I kept reading, and I'm glad I did. Some great advice there about the difference between praise and recognition, and about helping kids appreciate themselves as individuals.

We are now accepting applications for the 2014 growing season.
Applications with instructions: Eighth-Day-Internship-Application 2014
Applications are due March 31, 2014.
Visit our blog to read from our interns 2013.
The invitation:
Eighth Day Farm, (Holland, MI) is recruiting up to six people to participate in an intern-apprentice practicum, May-August 2014. Selected interns will possess an interest in agriculture and creation care along with the physical and emotional dedication to work and learn. Interns will also need to demonstrate a commitment to the Christian faith and a desire to live, cooperate and grow in a spiritual community. Housing, food shares from the farm and food stipend will be provided. 40-hour work-week. Independent study for college credit (optional and pending approval). Applicants should apply through application form and submit one character reference.
The Internship Practicum exists to fulfill Eighth Day Farm's mission in at least three ways:
- Service Learning. Interns provide service that allows them first hand, introductory experience of practicing the necessary disciplines of a working urban farm.
- Training future food growers. Some of our interns will discern a long term calling to farming and will continue to work with Eighth Day Farm after the internship is completed, or they will go on to other apprenticeships and training programs.
- Formation. The practicum is designed to allow all participants to deepen their practiced values necessary to, as our mission states, "cultivate healthy and sustainable communities locally and globally."
Who should apply:
The Eighth Day Farm internship practicum is designed for younger adults, currently enrolled or recently graduated college and graduate students. The program is ideal for someone discerning a vocation as a farmer but also for anyone interested in exploring and practicing a holistic and close existence to food and land with the encouragement and support of a Christian community.
Content of the practicum:
Creation care/stewardship
- Interns will develop a working understanding of how to grow vegetables from germination to harvest. Basic regular tasks include seeding, watering, weeding, transplanting, digging, soil preparation, composting, cleaning and preparing food for sale.
- Spiritual. The practicum is grounded in the practice of daily morning prayers during the workweek.
- Relational. The residential nature of the practicum is highly rewarding for interns as they learn to work, pray and live together.
- Both intern residencies in 2013 were located within blocks of our lead farmer and several other families involved in the farm. We are hoping to have similar proximity for intern accommodations in 2014.
- Each intern is assigned to a host family who is substantially involved in the farm. Host families provide a meal once in a while and also model a lived practice of the spiritual and environmental values of the farm.
- An important part of the practicum is not just growing the food but also cooking and eating the food grown. Interns will participate in weekly potluck with Eighth Day staff, CSA members, neighbors and friends.
- Reading & Writing. After the weekly potluck interns gather for a book discussion and prayer. In 2013 we read Living the Sabbath: Discovering the Rhythms of Rest and Delight by Norman Wirzba. Interns are also asked to write two blog posts each throughout the summer that reflect on their learning and experience.
Overview of the farm:
Proposed Vision: Empowered by God's redemption in Jesus, Eighth Day Farm has a passion for joining the restoration of land for food with the flourishing of communities both locally and globally.
Proposed Mission: Eighth Day Farm exists to address our fragile food system by growing healthy food, feeding, educating and connecting the residents of Holland Michigan.
Proposed Values:
Disrupt current food systems
Build community
Care for creation
Love of neighbor
Train future food growers
Promote nutrient dense food
Develop local partnerships
Increase access to nutritious foods for under resources families.
Eighth Day Farm was started by Jeff Roessing (MDiv, Western Seminary) in the Spring of 2010 on two small plots of land outside of Holland, Michigan. In 2011 we began our identity as an urban farm by appropriating a .4-acre plot of land in town that was formerly a pre-school. Based on the success of that location, a developer passionate about New Urbanism invited us to farm a 2-acre section of a parking lot in a dying strip mall on the north side of Holland. Asphalt and the soil beneath were removed. New soil and several treatments of compost were added to reclaim land that was otherwise lost to the sprawl of consumerism.
Community development is difficult. Organic farming is also difficult. Reshaping our community through urban farming is thus highly daunting. As we reclaim properties for agriculture, teach people how to raise plants and eat nutritious food; as we love our neighbors and carefully deepen our faith practices, we believe we are merely returning to old patterns of living that have been forgotten by our present society. Daunting as the vision and mission may be, we are compelled by faith to move ahead into our fifth growing season.
The internship practicum is a substantial part of the farm's educational mission and will also position able bodies to ensure a stability of labor for the farm's longevity. The intern program will be directed by Jeff Roessing, Joshua Banner and Kyle VanEearden.
