"From A to Zoo" is the first double episode of the Happy Tree Friends internet series, separated into two separate videos. This is also the twenty-seventh and final episode of season two, and fifty-fourth overall. Unlike the other short episodes, this long episode has over 38 storyboard artists and animators and was designed, animated and produced using Adobe Flash Professional & Toon Boom.
HTF Episode Description
This is our first "extra long" episode, coming in at 7 minutes. As we started thinking about how we'd produce shows for the upcoming television series, we had to take a shot at a more complete episode, showcasing more characters and delving into their personalities. We first screened this piece at Comic-Con 2005 to an overwhelming reception. the crowd went nuts! We think it's a great story and the team has had a lot of fun continuing the process for the upcoming series.
Part One
Lumpy, the bus driver, parks his school bus outside a zoo. Taking attendance, he looks around to see Petunia, Cuddles, Toothy, and Sniffles are excited while Flaky looks around nervously. The group enters the zoo, holding hands and singing the Happy Tree Friends tune, and walks up to a sign designating where everything is. While Lumpy ponders what they should look at first, the others scatter and run off to various parts of the zoo. Noticing the kids are gone, Lumpy runs after them.
Cuddles and Toothy are standing at the baboon cage, poking it with a stick and laughing. The two run off when Sniffles approaches, camera in hand. Lumpy catches up to Sniffles who asks Lumpy to take his photo with the baboon. Lumpy has Sniffles back all the way up to the cage, so that his body is pressed up against the bars. When Lumpy takes the photo, the baboon is surprised and enraged by the flash and begins attacking Sniffles.
Lumpy looks around and spots a blow dart gun and two tranquilizer darts in a glass case. Standing next to the case is Petunia, eating an ice cream cone and watching Lumpy as he breaks the glass. Unfortunately, the glass shards fall on Petunia, piercing her face and causing her to bellow in pain and stumble around. Lumpy is concerned by this, but quickly turns his attention back to Sniffles upon seeing that he's being torn to pieces by the baboon.
Lumpy aims the blow dart gun and fires a dart. He misses his mark and hits Petunia in the eye, causing her to stumble and fall into a snake pit. Lumpy quickly loads in the second dart, not realizing he's inserting it backwards. He takes a deep breath and ends up swallowing the dart, starts choking on it and faints.
Part Two
Several hours later, Lumpy wakes up, yawning and scratching himself, like he always would after every sleep and remembers about Petunia falling into the snake pit and runs over to the snake pit to save her. She has been swallowed by a snake, and Lumpy jumps down to free her. After a brief struggle, Lumpy winds up getting eaten too. Fortunately, he is able to use his pen to cut the snake open and free himself. Unfortunately, the snake had already begun digesting Petunia, as she is smothered in stomach acid. Realizing there's nothing else he can do for her, Lumpy runs off to find the others.
Elsewhere, Toothy stands on all fours while Cuddles stands on his back and peers through a hole in a wooden fence. On the other side of the fence is a rhinoceros which Cuddles pokes with a stick through the hole in the fence. After getting no reaction, Cuddles sharpens the end of the stick and begins poking the rhinoceros again. Still getting no reaction, Cuddles sticks a hot ring through the fence and brands a circle on the rhinoceros' skin, finally getting the animal's attention.
Lumpy runs up to the mischievous duo and Cuddles runs off, giving a mocking laugh. As Lumpy watches Cuddles leave, Toothy asks Lumpy to lift him up so he can see the rhinoceros through the fence. Sighing, Lumpy agrees, much to Toothy's delight. While running, Cuddles comes upon a helium tank used for inflating balloons and decides to have some fun. He inhales the helium, begins singing in a high-pitched voice and laughs off about it.
Meanwhile, Lumpy hears Flaky shriek in the distance. While he turns his attention away, he doesn't notice the sound of approaching footsteps or Toothy's head being impaled by the rhinoceros' horn through the fence. Determined to see what the problem is, Lumpy places a crate under Toothy's feet and runs off, still not aware that Toothy's head has been stabbed. The rhinoceros removes its horn from the fence and Toothy falls down, dead.
Flaky is now seen bellowing in terror as a cute little baby chick cheeps and hops over to her, trying to get some love. Lumpy runs over to tell her everything is okay, but he accidentally and unknowingly steps on the chick. This causes Flaky to start yelling even more. Lumpy picks her up and runs off, stepping on and killing multiple chicks as he runs. At one point he slips, crushing numerous chicks and covering both himself and Flaky with blood and the remains of dead chicks.
Cuddles has finally had enough fun playing with the helium and starts to walk off. He stops when he sees the baboon, who has escaped from his cage and now plays with Sniffles' camera. He looks over at Cuddles and gets angry, wanting revenge for the humiliation he suffered earlier. Cuddles turns to run away, but he slams his eye into the nozzle of the helium tank. He is unable to get his eye free as helium flows from the tank to his head. His head slowly expands as his screams get higher and higher pitched until they stop altogether. Now dead, one of Cuddles' eyes begins to float up as though it were a long balloon.
The baboon runs off as Lumpy approaches, still carrying a traumatized Flaky. He sees the balloons and decides to get one for Flaky, Unknowingly, he grabs Cuddles' inflated eye, mistakes it for a balloon, and makes a balloon animal out of it. He hands it to Flaky who stops crying and slowly smiles. He picks her up and carries her off. Unfortunately, Flaky realizes that the "balloon" she's holding is the nerve of Cuddles' eye, and because of this, she gives one last scream just before passing out.
Back on the bus, an exhausted Lumpy plops down in the driver's seat and looks around, taking attendance again. He's surprised to see a Petunia, Cuddles, and Toothy laying dead, a traumatized Flaky, and the baboon holding Sniffles' camera. Lumpy acts all suspicious at the baboon until it places Sniffles' glasses on. Lumpy shrugs and drives off. From outside, we see a silhouette of the bus. Seconds later, a bright light flashes from the camera through the bus's windows and the baboon begins screeching. As the iris closes in completely, we hear the bus crash.
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you!"
- The baboon rips out Sniffles' organs.
- Petunia gets digested by a snake, and the stomach acid deteriorates her body.
- After getting eaten by the same snake that ate Petunia, Lumpy uses a pen to free himself, which rips apart the snakes body.
- Toothy's head is impaled by a rhinoceros' horn.
- Numerous baby chicks are stepped on and crushed by Lumpy. Some are impaled on Flaky's quills.
- Cuddles' head fills up with helium, supposedly inflating his brain, or possibly Helium poisoning. (debatable)
- Flaky, Lumpy, Cuddles (debatably) and the baboon may have died after their bus crashed. If they survived the crash, it's possible that the baboon killed them afterward. (debatable and not shown)
- The directions of Lumpy's antlers change multiple times throughout the episode.
- The cage of the baboon was floating when Sniffles stands next to it.
- When Lumpy asks Sniffles to move toward the baboon cage, Lumpy has three fingers and a thumb. When he's doing the 'OK' signal, he has four fingers and a thumb. From that point onward, Lumpy only has three fingers and a thumb.
- When Lumpy breaks the glass you can see that none of the shards hit Petunia, yet in the next shot chucks of glass appear on Petunia.
- There is a thud before Petunia hits the ground when she falls. It should've been heard when she hits the ground.
- When Lumpy grabs his throat you can see three hands. The third one isn't connected to an arm.
- When Lumpy falls down the background gets slightly darker.
- When Petunia is shown having started to be digested, she has her flower on her head while it fell off her when she fell into the snake pit and wasn't there when the snake first appeared although it could have fallen on her before the snake started eating her.
- The rhinoceros' horn is too big to go through the hole, without taking a chunk out of the fence.
- Moreover, the rhinoceros' horn should have pierced Toothy's right eye, but instead, it pierced his forehead.
- When Lumpy is taking Flaky back to the bus, both his antlers are turned upwards. They should be pointing in opposite directions.
- Sniffles' glasses are broken when he is attacked by the baboon, but the baboon is later seen wearing them (intact) while on the bus.
- In the bus, Lumpy has chicken blood on his chest, but it disappears when he slouches and then reappears when he sits up straight again.
- When the baboon puts on Sniffles' glasses his hand becomes blue, but changes back to original color when the baboon holds the arm.
- The dart in Petunia's eye disappears when Lumpy kills the snake, but it can be seen again when her body is on the bus at the end.
- The tape on Sniffles' glasses is missing when the baboon is holding them; it appears on his nose. (Adding to this is the fact that the glasses go behind the tape when the baboon puts the glasses on, but the tape is too small, the frame is seen around the tape.)
- When Cuddles is standing on Toothy's back, Toothy's tail is tinier.
- When Lumpy appears, Cuddles runs away and his firestick falls right before Toothy, but in the next scene, the firestick is gone
- Unless Lumpy was careful (which is far from plausible), he should have gotten pierced by Flaky's quills.
- At the very end, the baboon's nose quickly goes over the camera it was holding then quickly goes behind.
- It is highly illogical for the bodies of Petunia and Toothy to appear in the bus near the end of the episode (although the baboon could be the one responsible for the act).
- At the end when Lumpy takes attendance, as he clicks his pen, it abruptly disappears.
- As Lumpy leans back in his seat, the blood around his waist disappears, but when he takes attendance, all of the blood reappears on his body.
- When Toothy is impaled by the horn of the rhinoceros, the horn doesn't have any blood on it. But when the rhino takes it out, blood abruptly appears.
- When the baboon runs away after killing Cuddles, the camera disappears, but later, it reappears during the bus scene at the end.
- One of the dead chicks on Flaky's quills has their head and body detached to each other when she takes the balloon animal from Lumpy.
- When Flaky screams, her right arm is detached.
- The title of this episode is a pun of the phrase "from A to Z," which means from start to finish.
- Here's a riddle: If the alphabet goes from A to Z, what goes from Z to A?.....A zebra!
- This is the last time we see the characters with this design. Every episode afterwards, there's a new, improved design that matches the TV series. (Except in the "Happy New Year" Break episode, when the characters had the same design, but only in that episode)
- This is the second episode in which Lumpy is a bus driver. The first is Happy Trails pt. 1. Coincidentally, both episodes are season finales.
- In the beginning of the episode, all the kids except Flaky sing the HTF Theme song when entering the Zoo. The other times the characters sung the theme were Cuddles, Flaky, and Giggles in This is your Knife, and most of the cast in Happy Trails Parts 1 and 2
- Lumpy would later go camping with the same group (in addition to Nutty) in Take a Hike.
- The animal Lumpy makes out of Cuddles' eye is a rabbit, just like Cuddles.
- Cuddles is indirectly responsible for Toothy's death since he got the rhino angry in the first place.
- This episode and A Sucker for Love are the only internet episodes that are as long as the TV episodes.
- Lumpy was showed left-handed during all of episode.
- Despite Ellen Connell replacing her, this episode was the final time Dana Belben was credited. Her voice could have been sampled though.
- Lumpy and/or Flaky are (debatably) the last characters to die in the second internet season. If both did indeed, survive the crash and not get killed by the baboon, then Cuddles would be the last character to die in the second internet season.
- This is the second time that Flaky cries. The first was in Ski Ya, Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya.
- This is the last episode where Sniffles has a long snout. In all future appearances, Sniffles' snout will be shorter (first shown in the previous episode).
- The picture Lumpy took of Sniffles shows him with his short snout, which would later come in the TV series.

Arsenal hero Ray Parlour says Gooners must move on from Robin van Persie's defection to Manchester United.
Former Arsenal captain Van Persie can expect a hot reception in north London, where passions still run high among some supporters over the manner in which the Holland forward left last summer in a £24million move.
"Manchester United have been absolutely fantastic this year," Parlour told talkSPORT. "They've bounced back from last season and Sir Alex Ferguson and the players have done a great job.
"If I was playing of course I would applaud, they've been the best team this year, there's no question about it.
"There will be a bit of friction between Robin van Persie and the fans, but you've got to get over it and move on. He's switched to Manchester United. We'd have loved to see him in an Arsenal shirt this season, but it wasn't to be."

Khan is the definition of a horrid hype job and I would not be called Ray china chinned, Ray proved time and time again even early in his career that he was one durable guy. You are REACHING for whatever you can and when the kid's sparked finally and the hype is over, what is there left to say?
And I absolutely did not say Judah wouldn't last a few rounds with Cotto, in fact, I said Judah had a damn good chance of winning that fight and that he was tougher than given credit for, so you have me mixed up with someone else.
So I'm a disgrace to the sport, despite supporting it 100%, supporting true fighters 100% and supporting changes that would strengthen it for it to grow bigger like it was in the glory days. As well as the immense amount of respect that I provide for most fighters. Hype jobs and promotional scum are the elements that I DESPISE, Khan embodies BOTH.
Wake up, grow up, lighten up, whatever, but damn you are testy for me calling out facts and you know damn well that I am 100% correct on this issue and that Zak was 100% correct on that piece of **** Fraudley Harrison, whom was a disgrace to the sport and a disgrace to Britain in the end.
If you aren't convinced that Khan and the hype train is a joke, YOU NEVER WILL BE. So don't call on my boxing knowledge, my stance on the sport and my personal beliefs while putting false accusations at the front of the table under a complete incorrect assessment filled with disrespect just because YOU don't agree with me and are STILL BLINDED by this ****ing disgrace Amir Khan.
I am shocked that you are still supporting this fraud, most others have conceeded into submission that it's OVER.
Amsterdam, you are indeed a disgrace to the sport, because you have the cheek to slag off our saviour of british boxing, how dare you
Eh, hold on a minute, so did I
Oh, never mind we can both be a disgrace to the sport, but at least we were right when we said he was a hype job
Forget his joker mate, his tongue has tasted Amirs ****, and he's looking for a second lick

Eat Your Pie, or The Science of Appetite
Never argue dessert with homemade pie. Blue frosted birthday cake or a cafeteria cookie are usually worth standing up to, and Hostess Twinkies need not a glance. But lovingly prepared pie? It deserves your respect.
The time spent alone is worth your caloric real estate-
Recipe box referenced.
Dough blended, chilled, and rolled.
Filling selected, prepped, and seasoned.
Baked for one hour.
Cooled even longer.
This pie has really worked for you, so to this, please, never say no.
But many people dread the transition to the winter sugar season that is ushered in by the big turkey roast every last Thursday in November. For all we look forward to- the time worn recipes and their updated modern contenders- we know what lies on the other side of January 1. It's all tight pants and regretful resolutions come the new year. So, how can we make it through the season of glut without turning ourselves into our own stuffed birds?
Appetite is a yearning for food that we experience through hunger. It is a physiological sensation experienced in real time resulting from signals in your brain's hypothalamus. The desire to eat is held in check by your central nervous system working in concert with the brain and peripheral organs like your stomach, pancreas, and liver. And when one considers the cornucopia of hormones and enzymes involved you can begin to realize there is quite a bit going on when you hit the dessert buffet.
With all this seemingly perfect metabolic regulation where has our contemporary appetite gone array? As a society we are thicker and sicker than ever before. Type II diabetes is a disease marked by excessive weight, and the numbers of diagnosed are reaching epidemic. According to data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control in 2012, between 1995-2010 there was a 50% increase in diabetes diagnosis in 48 states and a 100% increase 18 states. Over the course of (a very recent) fifteen years the population of one third of American states reported a doubling of diabetes diagnosis. The human genome simply cannot recode itself fast enough to take credit for this trend, and more and more research points to what's piling up on our plates.
I'll let you digest those facts for a second.
We have more food but enjoy it less. Our society is literally stuffed. If there was ever an argument for reconditioning our national appetite I believe it's just been made, and one of the first places we can start regaining traction is with social food rules. As a nation, not only do we sip and snack in abundance we also often do it alone. The excess of calories in our midst signals to our psyches that constant consumption is right and good, and few people can even go two hours without replenishing their moveable feast.
There is an important cause for getting hungry; for allowing the stomach to empty, metabolism to do its job, and satiety to reach homeostasis. I'm talking about appetite promotion here, not fasting or starvation. Working to create that moment where you can eat and be truly satisfied. But let's not kid ourselves. If the conversation was as easy as willpower we might all just limit ourselves to one meager glass of wine, skip dessert, and go home to an early bedtime. There is a lot more defining when, what, and how we eat than simple restraint. These strong metabolic cues are programmed over decades of living in our bodies. Every indulgence, every fad diet, and every treadmill sprint (or lack there of) is accounted for, and our bodies respond to these sculpted environmental cues accordingly.
Perhaps the best thing we can do at this moment for our society is resurrect the dietary rules and consumption guidelines that governed our social meals and solo diets for generations.
Perhaps the best thing we can do is skip the snack and save room for dessert. Simple as pie.
Simple as (Pumpkin) Pie Recipe
I almost always make whole grain crusts because I am hard wired for health food. Not to say I can't enjoy a white crust here and there. If that's your thing, feel free to substitute half, or all the whole wheat pastry flour for unbleached white flour.
And I'll go on record saying I believe glass pie plates and french rolling pins are superior choices (and the least expensive in their class).
Lastly, vanilla bean paste is the blue ribbon contender between scraping a bean and using the cloying pervasive extract, and crust shields are a pie bakers best friend.
For the crust:
- whole wheat pastry flour, 1&1/4 cup
- butter, unsalted, cubed and chilled, 1 cup
- salt, (sea salt preferably) 1/2 tsp
- sugar, just a pinch
- water, iced, 3-4 tbsp
-Add flour, butter, salt, and sugar to a food processor and pulse until a granulated texture is reached (not so long that it blends into a soft butter mush).
-While continuing to pulse, add water a few drops at time until the dough comes together in a ball.
-Transfer dough to a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-Lightly butter a pie plate and set aside.
-After dough has chilled flatten the ball onto a sterilized, floured countertop. Roll in a circle to desired thickness (I always go for as thin as I feel confident enough to roll that day) and transfer to pie plate.
-Trim the edges, and crimp the crust by pinching with your thumb and forefinger at evenly spaced intervals.
-Set aside and wait for the filling.
For the filling:
- eggs, 2 large
- heavy cream, 1 cup
- pumpkin, (1) 15oz can
- sugar, 1/2 cup
- cinnamon, ground, 1 tsp
- ginger, ground, 1/2 tsp
- orange peel, ground, 1/4 tsp
- cloves, ground, 1/4 tsp
- allspice, ground, 1/4 tsp
- vanilla bean paste (or extract if that's your option), 1/2 tsp
- salt, 1/2 tsp
-Heat the oven to 350F.
-Whisk together all the filling ingredients until smooth and the spices are well distributed.
-Pour filling into crust.
-Place a pre-made crust shield on the crust edges or make your own by sculpting aluminum foil over the edges.
-Bake for 50-55 minutes or until firm in the center.
-Allow to cool for a couple hours before serving.

The troupe is on a roll now; its lyrical repertory still speaks to a wide audience. Limón's fascinating history is newly uncovered as well. Designer Charles Tomlinson donated the yellow pad to the New York Public Library's Dance Collection, and it has been twice resurrected. José Limón: An Unfinished Memoir (Wesleyan University Press, $29.95) has just been published, and next week a documentary film of the artist's life and work, largely based on the material in the memoir, receives a work-in-progress screening at the 92nd Street Y, with producer Ann Vachon, director Malachi Roth, and Limón company director Carla Maxwell in attendance. Deborah Jowitt, a sometime Limón dancer who contributed a knowing, affectionate introduction to the book and appears in the film, will moderate the evening.
"True artistry is an inborn incandescence, a diadem, nimbus, panoply," writes Limón, who shares, in often superheated prose, illuminating stories about his relationship with Martha Graham and other great figures of the '30s and '40s. But his long battle with cancer kept him from going much farther. His history ends just before he is drafted into World War II; archivist Norton Owen, director of the Limón Institute, summarizes the rest of the saga, charting the masterworks the choreographer produced after the war. Editor Lynn Garafola has done a superb job of scholarship, annotating the text and providing an exhaustive catalogue of the dances.
Limón grew up with the century, was buffeted by its struggles, felt his universe and its traumas in a visceral way, and transformed his passions into enduring dances. The book is much more than a reference work; it's a rare, intensely personal glimpse of an artist and his time.
Beyond Words: The Life of José Limón will be screened Monday at 8:15 at the 92nd Street Y; call 996-1100 for information.

Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., claims Murtha told him, "I hope you don't have any earmarks in the defense appropriations bills because they are gone and you will not get any earmarks now and forever. … That's the way I do it!"
In September, Congressional Quarterly noted that the House Appropriations Committee, per new rules instituted by Democrats, listed its earmarks in its reports, though they were difficult to read and not easily searchable.
A reporter noted "the difficulty of piecing together which members got how much money for which projects in his bill," said the CQ article.
The article continued: "Murtha answered abruptly before walking away. 'So, you have to work,' he said. 'Tough s--.'"
As for this year's presidential candidates, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., is the porker of the pack, having secured 281 earmarks worth a whopping $296.2 million.
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., received 53 earmarks for his state, worth $97.4 million.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has never asked for an earmark.

ive been living on my boat on vancouver island now for awhile. while traditionally it doesnt get that cold here this winter it got cold and stayed cold for most of the winter. lots of snow and freezing temps. granted my boat is only a small 27 catalina but all i needed to keep it warm was a little 110 caframo cabin heater and the vberth/head area was heated with a small oil filled heater. now this was fine for the most part but when it got really cold i had to fire up the dickensen propane heater which worked really well. i used closed cell foam on top of the deck cut to size and tied off to life lines to reduce the heat loss seemed to help quite a bit. didnt seem to have any issues with condensation except when i was boiling water but other than that was ok.

by Donoghue, Emma
Publisher:Mariner Books
One of the satisfactions of Emma Donoghue's masterful fourth novel, Life Mask, is the tension between the writer's contemporary interests, like lesbianism and the balance of power in marriage, and her 18th Century subject matter. Life Mask is a fictional recreation of a plausible (but unproven) love triangle between the comedic actress Eliza Farren, the sculptor Anne Damer (the niece of Horace Walpole, a fantastic minor character here), and Edward Smith-Stanley, the twelfth Earl of Derby, a Whig (liberal) politician who left his name to the horse race he founded. Like her bestseller Slammerkin, the novel spins an intricate story from the slightest of historical traces, in this case a single reference in the commonplace book of Hester (Thrale) Piozzi: a snarky four-line epigram that hints at the danger to Miss Farren's reputation in consorting with "one whose name approaches 'Damn Her.'"
Readers who stay with Donoghue through the crowded and confusing early chapters of Life Mask will find a skillful, partly sympathetic portrait of English aristocracy during and after the French Revolution, a trove of period detail, and a spellbinding tale of unlikely but enduring love. --Regina Marler

The much-awaited lecture by Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen at the University of Hyderabad (UoH) on Thursday was disrupted by a group of students protesting alleged discrimination in the campus.
After Prof. Sen was invested with the 'honoris causa', he was to deliver the first Hyderabad Lecture on Are Coffee Houses Important to Education. The group however, did not permit the renowned economist to speak, protesting the recent suicide by a student in the campus.
Holding placards and sporting black ribbons, they demanded that Prof. Sen speak about Dalit issues instead.
"We want Prof. Sen to talk about caste discrimination and not about coffee houses," they shouted.
Chaos prevailed in the auditorium for some time as the shouting continued. University officials and security personnel sought to calm down the student group, which also targeted the University faculty alleging discrimination in the name of caste.
UoH Vice-Chancellor Ramakrishna Ramaswamy and other members of the faculty also tried reasoning with the agitating group.
"Even I had agitated a lot but my advice to you is to make your point and [to] not disrupt when others are talking," Prof. Sen told the protestors.
He said he was not aware of the issues in the campus that the protestors had raised and that he had come here with the topic given to him. He later addressed the gathering that comprised students, members of the scientific community, social activists and academicians from the city.
"Public discussions are very important and the universities can do something to encourage such discussions," he remarked and added that one should be prepared to hear those with other views too.

A few years ago, I had the privilege of taking a mission trip to Greenland. One evening, I was sitting on a mountain overlooking 10 small lakes. The beauty was like a dream. I could hear the wind blowing softly, the birds nesting in the trees, and the ice cracking in the ocean. It was such an amazing site.
I have heard others speak of the same of the Sea of Galilee. They say it is one of the most beautiful bodies of water on earth and the old rabbis used to say that God created all the other seas, and then He created the Sea of Galilee just for Himself. Â

The Bigger Picture: Visual Archives and the Smithsonian
Category: Behind the Scenes
Contagious Contributions: The Rewards of Asking for Help
What happens when an organization turns to the Internet 'crowd' for help to make its online collections as accessible as possible? The Archives is several years into its crowd-sourcing initiatives: tagging photographs and solving mysteries on Flickr Commons and transcribing text-oriented materials on the Smithsonian Transcription Center. Our goals are focused on enabling people to virtually look inside these materials and apply data mining and other techniques, enriching and speeding their own work.
In just the past 18 months, over two thousand new volunteers plus an untold number of anonymous contributors have given us a big boost, and the results are remarkable. While the quality and quantity of the effort is impressive – over 300 transcription projects and hundreds more photos available to tag on the Flickr Commons, I am more excited by how I see volunteers' passion for knowledge grow, having an empowering and domino effect.
Looking for the Inside Stories
As the institutional archives documenting the Smithsonian's history of acquiring and disseminating knowledge, we hold a wide variety of both scientific and humanities oriented primary source material that reflects that diversity of the Smithsonian's activities from its earliest days over 169 years ago.
As we selected material for our digital volunteers, I expected them to engage with it, gaining insight and appreciation for the personal efforts and experiences of the individuals behind them. However, volunteers soon uncovered additional, noteworthy individuals and events buried inside those texts.
Going one step further, they began to find connections between different Archives projects, such as the professional and personal relationships between scientists and examples of their work.
Amidst all of these discoveries, the depth of access these volunteers have helped us create has enabled researchers to include these historical sources in computer-driven longitudinal studies.
#WeLearnTogether: The Domino Effect
#welearntogether is a Twitter hash tag these 'volunpeers' have taken to when discussing the projects they are working on. It reflects the community culture we have striven for since the first days of our crowd-sourcing initiatives. So what's this domino effect?
Domino 1: Our volunpeers are using the information they have found, finding links to data held by museums, libraries, and archives at the Smithsonian and helping us to connect those resources to each other.
Domino 2: The volunteers are reaching out to other organizations, and sharing what they have learned so those organizations, too, can update and enrich their own information catalogs. These include JSTOR and the United States National Herbarium.
Domino 3: Some volunteers are following these external connections to expand their transcription contributions to include other groups like the Atlas of Living Australia and Zooniverse.
In the end, the knowledge of our collections has grown, their accessibility improved, resulting in tangible benefits for today's and tomorrow's Smithsonian collections users. It is so rewarding to watch these volunteers' voyages of discovery stoke a passion to discover more and fire an enthusiasm about these collections that has proven to be contagious.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Reading Between the Lines with the Smithsonian Transcription Center Volunteers
The Smithsonian Transcription Center volunteers have been busy unlocking the hidden stories from the Smithsonian's collections - including the women in science hiding in plain sight in these digitized pages. From amateur collectors to seasoned gardeners, women made valuable contributions to the Smithsonian's collections. Here's what we're learning and doing together with their information.
Last July, I shared some of the progress of volunteers and their growth as a community. The highlights? Over 450 volunteers transcribed 13,412 pages including 46 different Archives projects. Since then, we have grown our community to over 4,500 volunteers and the completed text of 66,598 pages can now be indexed. This remarkable growth includes 247 completed Archives projects as well.
Updated statistics: Over 450 volunteers at that point had transcribed 46 different Archives projects. That was part of the total 956 volunteers who had completed 13,412 pages by July 2014. Since then, 2,147 volunteers have helped wrap up a whopping 247 Archives projects! The community has grown to over 4,700 volunteers total; they have worked together to completely transcribe and review 67,205 pages - to make searchable text in Smithsonian's Collections Search Center.
Through mysteries, connections, and achievements, the Archives continue to recognize the women in science in their collections. The Archives also shares field notes and books in the Smithsonian Transcription Center, where we have fully transcribed field notes and photo albums from women scientists including Doris Cochran, Cléofe Caldéron, Florence Bailey, and Mary Agnes Chase. Volunteers - whom we call #volunpeers - have also been able to identify at least 25 women who contributed specimens and were recorded in field notes by Joseph Nelson Rose.
Rose was a botanist with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Smithsonian Institution; his work was prolific and highlighted his great commitment to botanical work and cooperative discovery. How fitting that by transcribing his detailed notes, volunpeers would open a window: private citizens and researchers alike sharing specimens with the Smithsonian Institution. Many of the women in science we've uncovered in the pages were involved in science with informal work or non-institutional roles. The collectors in Rose's pages were professional botanists, and collecting sisters, wives, and amateurs.
In addition to notes on women cultivating botanical collections, we also see women in science in the entomological specimens labels and botanical specimens sheets that volunpeers transcribe. One challenge emerges: what can we do with the knowledge that emerges from the digitized pages? How can we acknowledge the effort of all of the collectors and honor the work of volunteers?
As Smithsonian staff begin to incorporate that information into official records and institutional narrative, we can discuss the challenges openly - in Google Hangouts, blogposts, and social media. By working with volunpeers and others, we might open the problem to group solutions. We can also acknowledge the scientific work in spaces like Wikipedia where challenges remain with representation of women. In this way, the knowledge generated from the Archives' and other Smithsonian collections can be shared with the public. As we approach Women's History Month, we have another opportunity to connect the women in science in these pages to the body of knowledge held at the Smithsonian Institution Archives and the energy of Wikipedia editors.
You can let science talk and help the stories of these women unfold in two ways: by joining the Archives in a Wikipedia edit-a-thon on March 27, 10:00-4:00 pm EST. Here is the running list of women from Joseph Nelson Rose's field notes:

The Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease: A Custom Storage Solution for an Unusual Collection
Dealing with items of an unusual shape or size is a perpetual difficulty for archives. Some collections consist of a wide variety of objects with different housing needs, but need to be kept together for provenance reasons. Items that are too small or too large both pose problems, but these storage difficulties can be mitigated by careful handling, or by sorting and housing different-sized items based on their size where possible.
Extremely difficult-to-handle formats also occasionally come in that need custom housing to be safely stored and accessed. One recent example is Accession 09-296 - Office of the Secretary, Strategic Planning Records, 2009, a collection of six rolls of oversize drawings done by Lynn Carruthers of Global Business Network, a scenario planning company that assists organizations in extrapolating and preparing for possible future events. These drawings are graphic recordings of strategic planning sessions for the Smithsonian held in March and April of 2009 under the direction of Secretary G. Wayne Clough, which ultimately resulted in the formation of the Smithsonian Grand Challenges, a framework that shapes the current strategic outlook of the Smithsonian.
These rolls, one for each workshop or planning session, consist of several sheets of large drawing paper, each of slightly different dimensions. While the majority of each roll is usually comprised of sheets that are close in size to one another, there are frequently outliers that are either significantly shorter in the rolled dimension (horizontal) or somewhat longer.
The preferred storage method for oversize rolled or folded items is often flat storage; however, these drawings far exceed the footprint available in the flat storage cabinets at the Archives, and this option was immediately discarded. The simplest solution would have been to keep the drawings rolled, place them in archival cardboard tubes, and send them to the Archives' offsite storage facility at Iron Mountain. Unfortunately, the drawings are too tall to fit in the tubes and Iron Mountain only stores enclosures of standard dimensions, necessitating a custom housing that would remain in the Archives onsite storage.
The drawings were first given a strong support base - archival-quality (pH-neutral, acid-free, buffered) cylindrical cores; for extra stability and to protect the bottom of the rolled drawings, these were attached to square feet cut from corrugated archival board with preservation-friendly hot glue. The drawings were then wrapped around the cores, linen tape was tied around each roll, and descriptive labels were created and placed beneath the ties.
A custom two-piece box was made from more corrugated board to house and protect all six rolls. The lower portion consists of two pieces attached with the hot glue at mitered flaps; a rectangular piece finishes off the bottom for a level base, and another rectangle placed between the bottom flaps gives a flush interior surface for the rolls to rest upon. A lip to support the lid was created from a strip of corrugated board and adhered around the exterior surface. The lid consists again of two main pieces, assembled in the same way as the lower tray, and finished with a rectangular piece on top. All pieces were pre-scored to ensure clean folds.
Time will tell whether this housing solution functions as well as hoped. Though the cores with their stabilizing feet are sturdy enough, because they are unusually tall they remain prone to wobbling, which makes moving the entire box difficult. At the moment, it is envisioned that only one or two rolls will be removed for a researcher because of how cumbersome they are, leaving the remainder in their box in the designated storage location. While this solution was not ideal, it is effective and was an excellent opportunity to experiment with custom enclosures.
Though this collection is an unwieldy one, it provides a valuable snapshot of the beginning of Secretary Clough's tenure, and documents his desire to provide the Smithsonian with a clear vision for its future as a repository of the United States' cultural heritage. As Secretary Clough's plan continues to shape the direction of the Institution, it may be that succeeding secretaries will revisit the origins of the Grand Challenges by studying these drawings, and be inspired with new ideas for the future.

In the Name of Science
As some of you reading this know, we enjoy getting to know fascinating women in science throughout our collections and in the Smithsonian's history. We enjoy it so much that one of us decided we needed a set of LEGO women scientists. Over lunch, we assembled the the sets with some trepidation as it had been years since our previous LEGO adventures. We had fun playing and thinking about the non-LEGO women that came before them. As a final touch, I photoshopped them into Smithsonian settings. If you visit us today, you just may see our scientists conducting research in our hallowed halls.
Meet the LEGO paleontologist conducting research on a t-rex (Perhaps the #NationsTrex) in the Paleontology Hall of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History:
Here is the LEGO astrophysicist gazing at the sky near the Great Hooker 100-inch telescope used at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California which served as a Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory station from 1905 to the mid 1930s.
And finally, while we don't have strict chemists at the Smithsonian, we do have several conservators who conduct chemical feats of wonder on our collections. Here is the LEGO chemist/conservator at the Lunder Conservation Center of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

And the award goes to...
The Secretary's Gold Medal for Exceptional Service was created in 1964 and is the highest honor given to Smithsonian staff for exceptional service over a long period of time. On December 4, 2014, Secretary G. Wayne Clough presented this award to Pam Henson for a lifetime of exceptional service to the Smithsonian Institution. She began her career here in 1973 and has been in service to the Institution for 41 years. After a brief stint conducting visitor surveys, she became a young historian in the Smithsonian Institution Archives where she was responsible for research, writing, and interviewing staff to better document the history of the Smithsonian and the history of American science. In 1993 she became the Director of the Institutional History Division and has continued to build a substantial body of knowledge about the Smithsonian and its role in American science and culture.
Along the way, she has maintained a very high professional profile in several organizations. She has been a professor at George Washington University and at American University. Her publication record includes well over one hundred different contributions to books, journals, exhibitions and web sites. She has served as mentor to countless interns and graduate students, and in addition her expertise, has been recognized with several other awards including the Forrest C. Pogue Award for her contributions to oral history and the Joseph H. Hazen Education Prize for excellence in the teaching of history of science.
Having solicited background for other award nominations, I want to share some quotes from her colleagues that reflect the enormity of her long time service:
- Marcel C. LaFollette, a Research Associate with the Archives and long time colleague of Pam's, stated, "Her research and writing about the history of the Institution is substantial, and is characterized by an unflinchingly honest examination of what can sometimes seem, from inside as well as outside, an unfathomable organization, a hybrid conglomeration of goals, missions, museums, carousels, world-class scientific research, zoos, conservation reserves, and brilliant people. She has celebrated the eccentricities and accomplishments of the staff, documented the evolution of successive administrations, and above all, insisted that the record for all be accurate, be based on the archival evidence and preserve some sense of what it has been like to 'be' part of … the Smithsonian history."
- Brian Daniels, another Research Associate with the Archives, and now on the faculty of University of Pennsylvania, said, "I came to the Smithsonian's Institutional History Division as a pre-doctoral fellow in 2007, and have since had the privilege to have Dr. Henson as a mentor and guide as I completed my dissertation. Indeed, I am fortunate to have continued this relationship. Dr. Henson's diverse research interests, record of careful scholarship, and tireless mentoring of researchers—from graduate students to tenured faculty—have established her as one of the most prominent living scholars in the history of the sciences."
Dr. Clough acknowledged all of these traits and more. In his remarks at the medal ceremony he said, "I often delve into the rich history of the Smithsonian, for speeches, writing, or for my own curiosity. As Secretary, I cannot make a factual mistake in public or private – Pam is there to keep me on track, and she's done that for numerous Secretaries across the years. I count on Pam because the information she gives me is always detailed, reliable, and fascinating… More importantly to those who work with her day in and out, she is a trusted colleague, mentor and friend. … For her years of dedicated service to the Smithsonian, and for bringing the history of this American treasure to life every day, I am pleased to give the Secretary's Gold Medal for Exceptional Service to Pam Henson."
From all of her colleagues here in the Smithsonian Institution Archives, we send our congratulations and kudos to Pam on this very special recognition.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Marcella D Ridgway, VMD, MS, DACVIM (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine)
Description: This is a comprehensive reference and clinical skills guide for veterinary technicians involved in the care of dogs and cats. Presented in a practical ring binding which opens flat to sit well on a work counter or desk, the text is formatted almost exclusively as tables and charts and thoroughly indexed to facilitate quick retrieval of information.
Purpose: The authors' goals of providing a comprehensive yet practical and easily accessed resource for veterinary technicians and of encouraging professional growth by providing in-depth content are well met by this exhaustive and cleverly formatted reference.
Audience: This guide is designed to meet the needs of trained veterinary technicians in clinical practice but is also a valuable resource for general practitioners and a good review tool for veterinary and veterinary technician students. The authors have incorporated input from many other veterinary professionals to augment their own expertise in the production of this impressive publication.
Features: This is a masterful compilation of an overwhelming breadth and depth of information made practical and accessible through an efficient table and chart format and extensive indexing. Every conceivable aspect of patient examination, nursing care, clinicopathologic testing, imaging studies, and routine anesthetic, dental, and surgical procedures is covered in significant detail with excellent illustrations where helpful. It incorporates a color atlas of common parasites, cytology and urinalysis findings, and color plates demonstrating general anatomy, with additional black-and-white images of anatomy, instruments, bandaging, and dental charting/radiographic positioning. Techniques for general and targeted (orthopedic, cardiac, neurologic, etc.) physical examination and diagnostic procedures are described in stepwise fashion and radiographic positioning is covered in detail. Chapters on general and emergency medicine summarize pertinent disease conditions by organ system and sections covering anesthesia, surgery, and dentistry are well organized and useful. A formulary of traditional and complementary medications and a glossary of medical terms conclude the book.
Assessment: This is a truly commendable work with vast amounts of pertinent information presented in an effective and user friendly format. It surpasses other similar books in its breadth of coverage and superb organization.

Gene knockin
|This article needs attention from an expert in Genetics. (February 2008)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2008)
In molecular cloning and biology, a Knock-in (or Gene knock-in) refers to a genetic engineering method that involves the insertion of a protein coding cDNA sequence at a particular locus in an organism's chromosome.[1] Typically, this is done in mice since the technology for this process is more refined, and because mouse embryonic stem cells are easily manipulated. The difference between knock-in technology and transgenic technology is that a knock-in involves a gene inserted into a specific locus, and is a "targeted" insertion.
A common use of knock-in technology is for the creation of disease models. It is a technique by which scientific investigators may study the function of the regulatory machinery (e.g. promoters) that governs the expression of the natural gene being replaced. This is accomplished by observing the new phenotype of the organism in question. The BACs and YACs are used in this case so that large fragments can be transferred.

So, you want to build a traditional darkroom?
Everything you need to know to get started!
Tired of the cold world of pixels and image-editing programs? Wake up and smell the Dektol!
In this age of digital domination, I've noticed that there's a backlash is developing—literally. People are clamoring to get back to the roots of photography…and in many cases, that means building and using a black-and-white darkroom. Black and white, because of its relative ease of processing, is easy to control; as a result, many darkroom enthusiasts are able to make interpretive prints. Even if you can find someone who will do machine prints—a rare find these days—doing it yourself is more creative and rewarding.
But if you've never had a darkroom before, where do you begin?
Developing film is a fairly straightforward affair, equipment-wise. All you need is a film tank, a good thermometer, containers to hold developer, stop bath, and fixer, and a room that you can make totally dark.
Printing is a bit more complex. Choices of paper, developer, toner and darkroom exposure and processing time decisions can change the mood and feel of an image while still faithfully reproducing the information on the negative.
We'll get to actually developing film and prints another time. For now, let's look at what you need to set up a darkroom and prepare it for developing film and making prints.
Building a darkroom
A basic darkroom requires three things: running water, sturdy work surfaces, and total light blockage. A basement room, a kitchen or spare bathroom can be converted into darkroom space. Ideally, you should dedicate one room.
A darkroom is divided into a Dry Side, where printing, reel loading and other non-chemical tasks take place, and a Wet Side, where the actual chemical processing is done.
Items you'll need for the Dry Side are:
• film tanks and reels which you load film onto for processing; an enlarger OGC700, which is used to project the processed negative onto paper for printing; This is the most important item you'll buy, and will also be the most expensive.
• a light-tight paper safe, where you will store printing paper;
• a safe light, which provides amber-colored light so you can see what you are doing without ruining the paper (since photographic paper is not sensitive to amber light at low levels);
• a timer, to time your exposures;
• an Easel, which holds paper in place under the enlarger as it is being exposed;
• a grain magnifier, which helps you to focus the enlarger;
• a paper cutter (preferably rotary) to trim your paper;
• sufficient storage space for the above.
Items you'll need for the Wet Side are:
• running water, with as much temperature control as you can afford;
• a sink, set in a countertop that's at least 5 feet long. This will give you enough room for trays, chemistry, etc.
• A funnel for pouring chemistry into storage containers
• one deep tray with holes drilled on one side;
• Four smaller trays, preferably 11x14;
• Print Tongs, for handling prints in processing trays;
• Film clips for hanging processed film to dry;
• Small, medium and large graduates, for measuring and mixing chemicals
• About 6-10 large dark bottles for chemical storage;
• Surgical gloves and face masks, for protection while mixing and handling chemicals
In general, you will also need:
• at least two safelights, one near the enlarger on the dry side and one over the trays on the wet side;
• a print dryer or blotter;
• a dust-free area to hang film to dry.
The stuff you need in the darkroom can cost as little as a few hundred dollars or well above a thousand. Some inexpensive pre-packaged kits are available, although if you stick with it, you will find your needs will quickly outpace these kits' capabilities. Ready to get started? Browse around the Adorama Darkroom department and you'll find everything you'll need.
When designing a darkroom, be sure to block all light sources. If there is a window, use black masking tape and heavy gauge aluminum foil over the window, plus blackout shades. For doors, hang a blackout shade in front of the door that hangs to the floor and beyond the door's sides. If this is difficult, try to do most of your work at night, with lights out outside the door to the darkroom. If this is still impossible, buy a changing bag so you can load film even in daylight (film is more sensitive to ambient light than paper, so be really paranoid about light).
Ventilation is also important. An air vent that doesn't let in light is essential, because the chemicals do give off fumes that are not especially healthy if subjected to prolonged exposure. (On the other hand, many photographers have unusually long life spans, yet they spend hours a day in poorly ventilated darkrooms. Go figure.)
Since there are a number electricity-driven devices in the darkroom (enlarger, timers, safe lights and dryers, as well as a radio for entertainment), you'll want to have ample electrical outlets and enough current to handle the load.
Make sure there is enough space to store everything, including a space to keep prints and extra paper. The best place for chemical storage is under the sink and tray area. A small refrigerator will help you prolong the life of your paper and chemicals, so that too is a good, though optional, investment.
Work space should be a comfortable height for standing (around waist height--kitchen cabinets and counters, which can be purchased at home improvement stores, are ideal), and a comfortable raised chair will come in handy during long sessions. Also, a rubberized floor will make it easier on your feet when you're moving around.
Finally, if you have the space, leave room for finishing tasks: matting, framing, and mounting.

As 2006 moves forward one studio has been making a name for itself, while making a major impact in the States. Magnolia Films has all sorts of tricks up their sleeve, and has been really good to us horror fans thus far. Not only have they acquired two outstanding horror films (from what I'm told), but unlike other studios, they've already set release dates! There's nothing worse than reading about how amazing these UK or Asian horror films are and having to wait years for them- try six months here. I love you Magnolia. Read on to see when you'll be seeing The Host and Severance in theaters near you.
The Host is breaking records across Korea as we speak and you'll only have to wait until January 29th, 2007 to see Bong Joon-ho's film, which concerns a carnivorous mutant in Seoul's Han River that attacks city folk. The monster itself was created by Weta, Orphanage, and Creature Workshop. Click here for trailers, posters and tons of images.
Chrispoher (Creep) Smith's Severance is hitting UK cinemas this Friday while Magnolia will bring this hilarious horror film to the US on March 9th, 2007. In "Severance," an international arms dealer rewards his six-member sales division of corporate execs with a weekend team-building retreat in the mountains of Eastern Europe, where they encounter a renegade war-crazed soldier seeking revenge. Click here for trailers, posters and tons of images from the film.

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 11/14/14
If any player has been underrated for the Minnesota Twins this season, it very well may be reliever Alex Burnett. The last time the right-handed Burnett gave up a run was May 23. He extended that scoreless streak to 16 total innings by tossing 1-13 shutout innings in the Twins' 6-4 win Monday in Detroit. Burnett entered Monday's game with two outs in the seventh inning, replacing reliever Anthony Swarzak. After Detroit sent up left-handed hitting Brennan Boesch as a pinch hitter, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire brought in Burnett to take over for the fellow right-hander Swarzak. A look at Burnett's splits helps explain the decision to have him face Boesch instead of one of Minnesota's left-handed relievers. Prior to Monday, left-handers were batting .170 against Burnett. Right-handers, meanwhile, were hitting .230 against Burnett. The slugging percentages? Lefties slugged just .170, while righties were slugging .345 before Monday. Sure enough, Burnett thrived against the lefty Boes...

It's Ash Wednesday, start of Lent
A Church official on Tuesday reminded the Catholic faithful to fast and abstain from meat as the Christian world marks Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent.
Msgr. Joselito Asis, secretary general of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, said Catholics can do without having their foreheads marked with the cross but they should not forget to fast and abstain from eating meat.
"In the Church, we only have two days when fasting and abstinence are required—Good Friday and Ash Wednesday," he said.
"It's okay if you don't have your forehead marked with ash. It's not a sin because it is just devotional. If you don't get marked or fail to attend Mass, it's not a sin but it's a sin if you don't go on fasting and abstinence," he said.
Asis said fasting meant skipping at least one full meal while abstinence meant abstaining from eating meat.
He said Catholics aged 14 years old and above are supposed to abstain from meat unless they are sick. Those aged 18 and above are urged to fast. Those who are not able to fast or abstain from eating meat could do charitable acts instead.
"Acts of charity could include avoiding speaking ill of others or giving alms, prayers for the intention of others, visiting the sick, acts of mercy, or feeding the hungry," Asis said.—Philip C. Tubeza
