ebrary e-Book Content Now Discoverable Through ProQuest Platform
ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Just over five months after acquiring e-book innovator ebrary®, ProQuest launched technology that will link the companies' search platforms, enabling users to discover e-books in the context of their libraries' ProQuest content and use tools from both environments. ProQuest's all-new platform is rolling out in libraries around the world, bringing a flexible technological architecture that allows users to dive deeper into multiple content sources in multiple formats– wherever that information may reside. With the new connecting technology, one search leads users to ebrary's e-book content that's side-by-side with relevant reports, videos, journal and newspaper articles, and more. One click moves them quickly to the full-text whether it's housed in the ebrary or ProQuest platform.
"E-book content is becoming increasingly valued by users. Connecting them to ebrary's extraordinary collection along with ProQuest's wealth of information enriches the entire research experience," said Marty Kahn, ProQuest CEO. "The speed at which we were able to make this happen is a direct result of the ProQuest platform design for interoperability with other technologies. We believe the future demands openness and collaboration so we're building flexible, connecting points and paths to information — no matter where it resides."
"For more than a decade, ebrary has been focused on e-books. In addition to aggregating authoritative titles from more than 500 world renowned publishers, we have been continually striving to develop the best and most innovative technologies to make the research process easy and efficient," said Kevin Sayar, President of ebrary. "By integrating search on the ProQuest platform, we can increase discovery and usage of important information of many types, while maintaining the very best platform for experiencing e-books."
The first release supports discovery of titles in ebrary's Academic Complete(TM) e-book database recently named to the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title list. With over 70,000 e-books, unlimited access, and continued growth, thousands of libraries throughout the world rely on Academic Complete to meet the growing digital content needs of students, faculty and staff.
Later this year, the integration will be expanded to enable a simultaneous search of ebrary's rapidly growing selection of more than a quarter million e-books along with ProQuest's eight centuries of highly-respected scholarly and popular content. ProQuest holds extraordinarily diverse content, from dissertations and academic journals to trade publications, reports and magazines, as well as news content in multiple media. Users can connect to full-text of any of the sources through the results screen, moving directly to relevant passages in e-books through ebrary's ability to navigate directly to search terms and through relevancy ranking by document and chapter. Further, users will have access to both platforms' cutting-edge research tools, such as ebrary's InfoTools(TM), which provides contextual linking across multiple online resources, and shareable bookshelves, which automatically store links to highlights and notes, and automatic citations with URL hyperlinks back to the source. Users also benefit from new tools from ProQuest that enable users to share findings and create new content.
Work to connect the ebrary and ProQuest platforms began in January when ebrary became a member of the ProQuest® family of businesses, setting the stage for a significant acceleration of the process of serious research.
"Users care about quick, accurate connections to information and the ability to work with that information when they find it. They don't care where it lives," said Tim Babbitt, ProQuest senior vice-president of platform management. "Because the technology we're working with is open enough to connect to new technologies we can take users where they want to go. ProQuest says 'start here' for a reason… the path to the best information is simpler and richer every day."
A pre-release of the linking technology will be available shortly for libraries with Academic Complete and one or more of ProQuest Central, ProQuest Research Library, and ProQuest 5000 on the new ProQuest platform. Customers should watch for more information over the coming weeks. Discovery of ebrary content with full text searching will be available broadly in the fall.

How to create topspin?
View Single Post
Join Date: Aug 2012
Location: UK
Posts: 827
Topspin is generated in three ways:
- Swing from low to high, the upwards movement at contact causes the back of the ball to move up, causing topspin.
- Close the racquet face, as a ball hitting an inclined surface will naturally spin off of it.
- Rotate your arm through the contact (windscreen wiper follow through and pronation). These advanced techniques result in faster upward movement of the racquet at contact.
The big part of the equation that everyone seems to forget, is that if you are going to start hitting with more topspin you will need to change your shot trajectory. Here are two heavy topspin shots which are fun to try and good for getting a feel for how topspin effects the shot:
The Nadal style deep defensive/neutral forehand: standing quite far back, hit the ball with a fairly open face (still closed, but only slightly) aiming for 2m or more of net clearance and to then swing almost vertically up the back of the ball as fast as you can. If the ball drops near to the service line, you either had too little pace or you didn't aim high enough. If hit properly, this shot should be moving fast and high at the baseline, which makes a very hard shot for your opponent to attack.
Pay attention to the net clearance when he isn't going for a winner:
Federer style aggressive forehand: Standing close to the baseline, aim just under 1m above the net and drive through with a more closed racquet face. Really let rip with a WW follow through, whipping across the back/top of the ball. The shot should be hit with enough pace that the ball lands half way between the the service line and baseline in spite of the heavy topspin and low trajectory.
Pay attention to the pace and net clearance when Federer *is* going for a winner:
(Note: Both players use different net clearance and shot pace in various situations, however it is often easier to think of the shot trajectory by associating it with the different players)

Hot off being named the ECHL Goaltender of the Week, Adam York notched his fourth straight win stopping 32 shots en route to a 6-3 road win against the South Carolina Stingrays. On Monday, the Blades re-acquired 2008 New York Islander 2nd round pick Corey Trivino whom had played his first pro season with the club in 2012-13 after finishing his college career with Boston University. The pending acquisition of Trivino is speculated to have been the reason Bolt prospect Danick Gauthier was loaned to Wichita instead of returning to the Blades. In his first game back with Florida, Trivino did not disappoint earning 1st Star honors after potting 2 goals including a penalty shot, running up a +4 rating, and dropping the gloves at the 20:00 mark of the 3rd period. Bolt prospect blueliner Artem Sergeev did not play, and while details are not clear, at least one source indicates that Sergeev was injured sometime during the week. Florida next plays in Gwinnett Saturday night against the Gladiators.

Rapid City blanked the Thunder in front of their home crowd Friday night. Bolt prospect Daniel Milan registered his first penalty minutes of the season including a 2nd period tilt with Jean-Philip Chabot. Wichita hosts the Missouri Mavericks Sunday afternoon.

Despite a 2-0 lead in the 1st period, Wichita gave up goals to Tulsa in both the 2nd and 3rd period and eventually lost in the shootout. Bolt prospect Danick Gauthier was the first shooter for the Thunder in the shootout, but failed to convert. Wichita lines up against Rapid City next Friday.

Adam York notched his second 1st Star effort in as many nights by pitching a 24 save shutout in front of a Saturday night home crowd in Estero. York has won 3 straight contests and now sports a filthy 1.95 GAA and asave percentage north of 91%. Those numbers are stellar for the traditionally high-scoring ECHL, and with back-to-back starts on Friday and Saturday, York is looking like the go-to guy in net for the Blades. Bolt prospect Artem Sergeev was on the ice for the final shift for the Blades protecting the two lead, and assisted on the empty netter with 2 seconds left. After 5 straight games against the Solar Bears, the Everblades are 5-1-0-1 and hit the road next weekend to play the Stingrays in South Carolina and the Gladiators in Gwinnett.
Missouri Mavericks 2 at Wichita Thunder 4

Bolt prospect Danick Gauthier introduced himself to the Wichita home fans with a 3rd Star effort by breaking open a third period 2-2 tie against the Missouri Mavericks Saturday night. Gauthier got the primary assist on the go ahead goal, and then added an insurance goal at 18:29 remaining. Fellow Bolt prospect Dan Milan assisted on the Thunder's opening goal just 50 seconds into the contest. The Thunder travel to Tulsa for a Sunday afternoon tilt against the Oilers.

Season totals: 3 GP, 0-1-1, -3, 0 PIM, 4 SOG
Wichita goalie Tim Boron pitched a 27 save shutout in front 2,300+ hometown fans Wednesday night, which is remarkable considering the Kansas City Royals had this somewhat of a big deal Game 7 of the World Series scheduled the same night. The Thunder are one of seven teams absorbed by the ECHL from the now defunct Central Hockey League (CHL). These seven teams make up the new Central division in the Western Conference of the new 28 team ECHL, and includes Tulsa, Quad City, Brampton, Allen, Missouri, and Rapid City. The Thunder are 1-1-1-0 with 3 points to start their new ECHL era. The Thunder play again Saturday against winless Missouri.

Wichita Thunder 5 at Tulsa Oilers 6 OT
D Daniel Milan, WIC: 0-1-1, -1, 0 PIM, 2 SOG
Season totals: 2 GP, 0-1-1, -3, 0 PIM, 4 SOG
Fans in Tulsa were treated to four netminders in this 11-goal OT lamplighter. Milan was credited with a secondary assist on Wichita's third goal for his first point of the young season, seeing time on both the power play and the penalty kill.
Florida Everblades 3 at Orlando Solar Bears 2 OT
D Artem Sergeev, FLA: 0-1-1, +1, 0 PIM, 2 SOG
Season totals: 4 GP, 1-1-2, E, 0 PIM, 7 SOG
Other Notables
G Allen York, FLA, W, 62:30 MIN, 2 GA, 26 SH, 24 SV
Season totals: 3 GP, 1-1-0-1, 2.56 GAA, 0.881 SV%
Adam York stopped 26 goals as the Everblades mounted a spirited third period comeback to force overtime before Florida forward Adam Brace notched the short-handed OT GW'er. It was York's first win of the season. Artem Sergeev now has a point streak after Evan Bloodoff picked up a rebound from Sergeev's shot and buried the game-tying goal in the third. Kristoff Kontos, son of former Bolt Chris Kontos, opened the scoring for Orlando in the second period. Kontos, 20, is playing in his first professional season after signing a contract with the Solar Bears earlier this month. He was born 14 months after his father was forever etched in Lightning lore by scoring 4 goals in the Bolt's first ever NHL game as a franchise on Oct 7, 1992. It says quite a bit about a hockey organization that failed to mention that Kristoff's father even played for the NHL team just 1.5 hours down the interstate in the press release about signing Kontos, choosing instead to highlight his playing time with the LA Kings and Wayne Gretzy. Draw your own conclusions.

The Mets have been without breakout Jewish player Ike Davis for most of the year. But never fear, the Mets welcomed Josh Satin to the team on Friday. Satin plays all over the infield. "Satin is versatile with the glove. He played 57 games at 3B this season, 44 at 2B, 20 at 1B, and another 12 as designated hitter. Though this will be the Hidden Hills, Calif., native's first stint on an MLB roster, he had 6 at-bats with the Mets during Spring Training this year, going 2-for-6 with 1 HR and 2 RBIs." - JewishBaseballNews.com
We look forward to seeing Satin in a Mets uniform and possibly forming formidable Jewish corners for the team next season. To read more click HERE.
And Let Us Say…Amen.

BATON ROUGE, La. — Birthday girl Danielle McCray was a bright spot in what amounted to a tough shooting night for the Ole Miss women's basketball team in a 70-41 loss at LSU.

BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition review: A promising start
A dual-SIM 3G smartphone running Ubuntu (for Phones), the BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition demonstrates that the OS can run well on a mid-range phone originally designed for Android. However, Canonical's platform is a work in (rapid) progress, rather than a fully formed mobile phone OS.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge review: Good enough to leave the iPhone behind
If you appreciate unique designs, prefer Android over iOS, and want the best camera available on a smartphone, then run to your local carrier store this week and pick up the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
OnePlus One (64GB) review: A flagship phone with a mid-range price tag
The OnePlus One is a high-end 5.5-inch smartphone that sells for an affordable price (if you can get hold of one). Although it lacks 800MHz (band 20) LTE support and MicroSD storage expansion, it's still a very impressive and highly recommended handset.
YotaPhone 2 review: Novel, but expensive, dual-screen smartphone
The second-generation two-screen YotaPhone is a much more polished handset than the original, but it lacks storage expansion and is on the expensive side.
Moto X (2nd Generation) review: Improved specs and useful extras, but short on storage options
The 2014 Moto X is nicely designed and solidly built, has a great 5.2-inch AMOLED screen, performs superbly, and delivers a range of useful Moto 'experiences' on top of an otherwise uncluttered Android OS. Limited internal storage capacity and lack of MicroSD expansion are our main concerns.
Apple iPhone 6 Plus (64GB) review: A classy 'iPhablet'
The iPhone 6 Plus delivers better battery life than the smaller iPhone 6, along with superb design and solid build quality. If money were no object, we'd choose the 5.5-inch model over its 4.7-inch sibling.
Vysk EP1 review: 'The anti-NSA' iPhone case delivers more privacy questions than answers
Need an anti-spying solution designed to lock down your messages and protect your privacy? One smartphone case maker promises as much, but only proves a fraction of its claims.
BlackBerry Passport review: Aimed squarely at business
BlackBerry's Passport is a striking business-focused handset with plenty of plus points, including a 4.5-inch, 1:1 aspect-ratio screen, a clever QWERTY keyboard and superb battery life.
Apple iPhone 6 (16GB) review: Bigger, faster, better
The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and iOS 8 offer enough new functionality to entice existing iPhone owners to invest in an upgrade, and there's plenty to attract converts to the iPhone ecosystem too.
Sony Xperia T3 review: A solid mid-range large-screen phone
Sony's 5.3-inch Xperia T3 is a distinctive-looking and well-built large-screen smartphone with no serious failings, although both the screen resolution and internal storage are on the low side.
LG G3 review: A superb flagship smartphone with a great display
The LG G3 is an elegant high-end Android smartphone with a superb 5.5-inch screen, a high-quality 13-megapixel main camera, a fast quad-core SoC, intelligent UI skinning and an admirably restrained set of software extras.
Motorola Moto E, First Take: Great value, but only one camera
The Moto E redefines the functionality to be found at the budget end of the smartphone market.
Samsung Galaxy S5 review: Top-notch specs, less software bloat
Samsung has done a good job with the Galaxy S5. Software bloat has been pared down and a few useful new features added, while the technical specifications are superb and battery life is good. Design purists may bemoan the plastic chassis, but the Galaxy S5 is still a worthy successor to last year's model.
Sony Xperia Z2 review: Feature-laden and waterproof
Every inch the premium high-end smartphone, the Xperia Z2 delivers excellent performance, screen quality and camera resolution without compromising battery life. However, the abundance of third-party apps may confuse some users, and we noticed that the handset sometimes runs hot.
HTC One (M8) review: The flagship smartphone to beat
The HTC One (M8) ticks most of our boxes: design, build and performance are all excellent, there's no app overload, and HTC Sense is improving with every iteration. Battery life could be better and some of the camera tools may seem unnecessary, but overall it's a winner.

Arizona court clears way for abortion restrictions
PHOENIX An Arizona appeals court ruled Thursday to allow key parts of a state law restricting abortions to take effect, including one that requires women to see a doctor in person the day before getting an abortion to hear about risks and alternatives.
The provisions have been on hold for two years after a state judge blocked them from taking effect in 2009.
But the Arizona Court of Appeals on Thursday ordered the judge to lift his hold, saying the provisions are constitutional and don't put undue burdens on women seeking to end their pregnancies.
The provisions are part of an abortion law signed by Gov. Jan Brewer in July 2009, six months after she took office, and include a requirement for women to get so-called "informed consent" about risks and alternatives from a doctor in person before getting an abortion.
Currently, women are allowed to get that information over the phone from a doctor or a nurse practitioner.
The appellate court's ruling also covers provisions banning nurses from performing surgical abortions and requiring parental consent forms to be notarized for minors getting abortions. Another provision expands an existing law that allows health-care workers to refuse to participate in abortions for moral or religious reasons
"If this law takes effect in its entirety, it will put women in Arizona in harm's way. Period. End of story," said Bryan Howard, president of Planned Parenthood of Arizona.
Planned Parenthood, Arizona's major abortion provider, had challenged the law's constitutionality, which led to Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Donald Daughton's block of portions of it. The judge allowed other provisions to go into effect, including requiring women to wait 24 hours after their initial visit before getting an abortion.
Howard said the combination of allowing only doctors to perform surgical abortions and requiring women to meet with a doctor in person 24 hours before the procedure is a hardship, especially for women living in rural areas.
Flagstaff, for example, has no doctors who perform abortions, just one nurse practitioner, Howard said.
That means that a woman living in Window Rock in northeastern Arizona would have to drive five hours to Phoenix to meet with a doctor and stay overnight before getting a surgical abortion, he said. Then she would have to make the four-hour drive home.
"How that cannot be understood to be a hardship and potentially dangerous is beyond me," Howard said.
Deborah Sheasby, legal counsel for the anti-abortion Center for Arizona Policy, said the new provisions wouldn't be overly burdensome to women and weren't meant to discourage abortions.
"We believe this is a basic safety thing," she said.
Twenty-nine states require waiting periods for abortions - typically 24 hours, while 34 states require some type of counseling beforehand, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The new provisions could take effect as soon as a month from now but could be held up for more than a year if Planned Parenthood files an appeal in the Arizona Supreme Court.
Howard said Planned Parenthood's staff is considering an appeal.

Charities were developed to meet certain needs of society that are not part of public assistance.
Unfortunately, some charities that have been developed are not really assisting for the "public good". Charities can solicit funds in many different ways such as raffles, mail or phone solicitation, paper advertisements and ticket sales.
Some of the things that you might want to consider before you contribute to a charity are:
* Avoid giving cash to strangers and take time to learn more about the charitable organization you are contemplating giving to.

'Dancing With the Stars' May Cancel Chris Brown After Violent Outburst
"Chris was so dangerous backstage that we called 911," a 'GMA' insider tells me. "He totally flew off the handle after being asked a question about his 2009 assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna. Now ABC has to decide if they are willing to let this man promote his music on a family show on its network or walk away from this obviously troubled young man."
During the 'GMA' interview to promote the release of his new album, 'F.A.M.E.,' Brown told anchor Robin Roberts, "It's not really a big deal to me now, as far as that situation. I think I'm past that in my life. Today's the album day, so that's what I'm focused on."
Brown went on to perform a song before returning to his dressing room and tearing it apart.
►Chris Brown Smashes Window After Interview -- 'Everyone Was Terrified,' Says Insider
"If the network doesn't care about promoting this thug, they should care about protecting its staff," a rival executive tells me. "This sort of behavior is not acceptable from anyone no matter how talented or famous they might be. 'Dancing With the Stars' is one of the biggest shows on TV, and if they do decide to allow him to promote his music on it he should definitely be asked to say sorry for throwing a chair and smashing a window."
Several 'Dancing With the Stars' cast members have already told me they want nothing to do with Chris Brown. What do you think? Should Chris be banned?

Looking back over my previous posts, I see I've been waiting for an adaptation of The Man In The High Castle for over four years. It was first announced as being adapted by Ridley Scott for the BBC in 2010, but after disappearing into the netherworld of development hell, it was then announced as an Amazon series last year, and the first episode of it has now appeared as part of their latest pilot season.
The big question, then, is was it worth the wait? On the evidence of this pilot episode, yes it was, and also worth the (hopefully shorter) wait for it to return as a full series. His involvement may not be quite so hands on this time, but Ridley Scott has shown yet again how to adapt a Philip K Dick novel. Just as Blade Runner used the characters and themes of Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? but was prepared to deviate from the plot, so does The Man In The High Castle. There's an understanding that a book and a TV series tell stories differently, especially one that's being told through the multiple levels of Dick's imagination. In short, I would definitely recommend watching it, whether you've read the book or not. Spoilers for the book and the adaptation follow, so read on at your own peril. Read the rest of this entry

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
A pragmatic, warm-hearted tough guy, Satellite is father figure and foreman to his fellow refugee children, whom he organizes in work gangsthey forage in scrap heaps and fields for unexploded mines, which they sell to local U.N. personnel. Many of the kids are orphaned, maimed, or both. (A potential employer complains, "Half of them don't have hands"which later adds mordancy to the sight gag when one of Satellite's loyal henchmen presents him with a chunk of a famously fallen statue: "This is Saddam's arm. It's for you.") The arrival of Henkov (Hirsh Feyssal), an armless, grave-faced boy, vaguely intimidates Satellite's alpha status, since Henkov has a gift for both accurate prophecy and defusing mines with his teeth.
Henkov scours the minefields with his sister, pensive Agrin (Avaz Latif), and a blind toddler who appears to be their little brotherand who's the unexpected focal point of Agrin's rage and desperation, the causes of which Ghobadi soon discloses. Faintly evocative at times of both Mouchette and Marzieh Meshkini's Stray Dogs, Turtles Can Fly eschews the loose-limbed musical energies of Ghobadi's Marooned in Iraq (2002) and revisits the basic milieu of his Caméra d'Or-winning A Time for Drunken Horses (2000), wherein a determined band of orphaned youngsters eke out a skeletal living on an Iraqi border. Amid the muddy scrubbery of the camp and its hinterland surroundings, Ghobadi catches some striking compositions: a satellite dish bobbling along amid a bustling crowd, a distant row of men gripping aerials that reach high into the sky for news of the impending war. (This is as near as we get to any of the parents in the camp.)
Ghobadi, an Iranian Kurd, rarely steps back to cast a lingering gaze on his fine handiwork; like Satellite, the film is always charging on to the next pressing situation. Likewise, he has little patience for the formal niceties of narrative through-lines; he picks up and discards story strands (the doctor in search of an orphan, Satellite's crush on Agrin) at will. But the perpetual motion only temporarily staves off a pervading, self-evident despair. Circling around to its anguished beginning, Turtles Can Fly closes with an open-ended question that only sounds like yet another threat: "Don't you want to meet the Americans?"

Machida wanted Anderson Silva money?? He's crazy what has he done to deserve the same paycheck that Anderson Silva gets.
Lyoto Machida's camp is not in good favor with UFC Prez Dana White after backing out of his UFC 133 fight with Rashad Evans. Here is Dana's take on the incident.
"Machida accepted the fight … We knew for a couple days this was going down, and Machida accepted the fight. Then when we called back and said, 'OK, we're going to make this fight,' Machida's people came back and said, 'We'll tell you what. You pay us what you pay Anderson Silva, and we'll take the fight.' This was after they had already agreed to take the fight … "I said, 'Are you [expletive] kidding me? I'll tell you what. You tell Machida he achieves what [expletive] Anderson Silva has achieved, then maybe he'll make Anderson Silva money. Have a nice day.' …. "They said, 'Machida will fly out there tomorrow if you pay him what you pay Anderson Silva,'" White said. "They said they do the deal, then I call back to make it and what's what they said.
While Lyoto is in the UFC dog house, Tito Ortiz gets on Dana's good side.
"Tito turned it down, and then Tito called back and said, 'Did you get the fight yet?' … I said, 'Nope.' He goes, 'Let me think about it. Let me talk to my team, and I'll call you back tomorrow.' This was Tuesday night."
"[Expletive] right, [Tito] he gets a break … Tito stepped up to the plate. It's [expletive] weird here. It's like I'm dealing with a new person. I like it. I like the new Tito.
"The storyline is what's so interesting. Tito went from 'You're about to be cut,' to now, if he beats Rashad Evans, he's back in the mix. He's back in the picture."
Machida wanted Anderson Silva money?? He's crazy what has he done to deserve the same paycheck that Anderson Silva gets.
the machida era lasted for just one controversial win while the anderson silva era has lasted for years. some money to take a fight on short notice is fine, but it's not like he hasn't trained for rashad before. its not like he's going in at the last minute either. i would have done exactly what dana did too.
White wanted Machida to fill in last minute and fight a guy that he has already beaten to save his main event. Machida may not deserve Silva money but a negotiation doesn't seem unrealistic to me.
eu amo vc lyoto, sou sua fã d++++++++
Lyoto, vc é liindooo…e um ótimo lutador, suas lutas são um máximo!

Deciphering the Novarupta-Katmai Eruption
November 26, 2013
In the early 20th century geologists had a limited understanding of volcanoes. Plate tectonic theory was still half a century away. Radio communications in remote, volcanically active areas were unreliable or non-existent. Eyewitness accounts of volcanic eruptions were difficult to gather. Seismographs, an essential tool for contemporary volcanologists, were almost unheard of in Alaska. For many years, little was known or understood about what happened in early June 1912 on the northern Alaska Peninsula.

Having a plan makes almost anything easier, even asthma. An asthma action plan is a set of instructions your doctor will write down for you and your family. It will tell you how to prevent asthma flare-ups and deal with flare-ups when they happen. Your doctor might give you a plan, or you can print out a sample plan and ask him or her to complete it with you.
An asthma action plan helps you keep your asthma under control. And when your asthma is controlled, breathing problems won't keep you from playing sports, having fun, and doing whatever you want to do. Following your plan can also mean fewer trips to your doctor or to the emergency department.
A key part of the plan will tell you exactly what to do if you have a flare-up. It will say which medicine to take and how much of it to take. It also will say when someone needs to call the doctor or take you to the emergency department.
You may need your mom, dad, or another adult to help you put the plan into action. Talk with your parents about which parts of the plan you are going to handle by yourself and when you need to ask for help.
A typical asthma action plan also would cover:
Because each kid's asthma is different, each kid's plan is different. Here's some other stuff that might also be in your plan:
Talk with your doctor about your plan and ask questions if something doesn't make sense. Some instructions in the plan will apply every day, not just when you're having breathing problems. For example, you'll want to stay away from stuff that makes your asthma worse and take long-term control medicine (also called controller or maintenance medicine) regularly, if your doctor has prescribed it for you.
Your mom or dad may give a copy of the action plan to your school nurse, your teacher, and anyone else who takes care of you. You should probably keep a copy of it with you, too. Following this plan will help keep you in action!

So, according to the magical Internets, Diane Lane is 41 years old, but I totally don't care. She has still got be one of the sexiest ladies around.
Seeing her in these pictures from the Venice Film Festival, where she is promoting her new film Hollywoodland, with Ben Affleck and Adrien Brody, I was both surprised, and not surprised to see her looking so good. On the one hand, she always looks great, and as far as aging goes, she's definitely not going down the same road as Madonna.
Of course, I wasn't expecting her to look this good. I mean that is one sexy lady. And she is a lady. There's none of that teenage insecurity that you find in the likes of Lindsay Lohan.
Now, can someone just explain to me why Ben Affleck is such a dork.
Tons more pictures of Diane Lane looking stunning at the Venice Film Festival after the jump.

- See also: Laws governing direct democracy in Texas
As laid out in Article 17 of the Texas Constitution, in order for a proposed constitutional amendment to be placed on the ballot, the Texas State Legislature must propose the amendment in a joint resolution of both the Texas State Senate and the Texas House of Representatives. The joint resolution can originate in either the House or the Senate. The resolution must be adopted by a vote of at least two-thirds of the membership of each house of the legislature. That amounts to a minimum of 100 votes in the House of Representatives and 21 votes in the Senate.

Public Building Commission
Current Artist
Always in Stitches - Shelly Burge's Art Enlivens the County-City's First Floor Exhibition Gallery
Always in Stitches, a display of fiber art by Shelly Burge, will be on display from March - May 2015 in the 1st floor Exhibition Gallery within Lincoln's County-City Building. Shelly takes her artwork seriously, but she doesn't feel the subject matter of her work always has to be in a serious vein, as viewers will notice in, How Now Purple Cow. Other pieces in the exhibit were inspired by history, current events, and nature. Fabric cut from used clothing, vintage game tokens, and embellishments cut from sheets of copper are some of the unique items incorporated into her work.
Shelly learned to sew when she was four years old by helping her grandmother make doll clothes. She started making traditional quilts in 1973, the skillful workmanship apparent in the pieces on display attest to her expertise. In time, she started creating her own original quilt designs and eventually became interested in fiber art. Numerous pieces in the show are made with fabrics Shelly created herself using dyeing, painting, and bleach discharge techniques.
Many Lincolnites may remember the large quilt that Shelly created for the Crane River Brewpub in downtown Lincoln. That quilt now hangs in Hardin Hall on the UNL east campus. In 2012 she designed a quilt for the Nebraska Governor's mansion and collaborated with a group of Nebraska State Quilt Guild members to complete the work. That quilt was presented to the people of Nebraska by the Guild and it is on permanent display in the lower level of the mansion.
Often I'm drawn to the number Phi (the golden ratio) and all its influences through out the ages. Phi (1.618...) is the only number or thing that is found in nature, music, art, architecture, human bone growth, hurricanes, galaxies, and credit cards. My paintings often explore ideas that identify and illustrate the nature of this amazing number.
Shelly is an author, lecturer and quilting instructor. She has traveled across the country and to Europe to teach classes on quilt making. She was one of the founders of the Nebraska State Quilt Guild and is a National Quilting Association certified quilt judge. In 2009 she was named to the Nebraska Quilters Hall of Fame.

DALLAS In Big D Wednesday morning, the City Council discussed big dollars to be spent on promoting an insider who will manage the city.
In a new contract, the city agreed to pay Interim City Manager A.C. Gonzalez $400,000 a year to take the job on a permanent basis.
I think it's too big a jump; I am very reluctant to support that, said District 12 Council member Sandy Greyson.
A.C., I believe the amount we've given you is a small amount compared to what you'll bring to this City, said District 9 representative Sheffie Kadane.
In the end, only two of 14 Council members voted against the contract, and so they passed Dallas' highest base salary for a city manager here or anywhere using the council-manager system of city government.
Here are city manager salaires in the other four largest U.S. cities using this system:
- Phoenix $315,000, (per the Arizona Republic)
- San Antonio $375,000 (per KENS-TV)
- San Jose, California $250,000 (per San Jose Mercury News)
- Austin $301,544 (per The Texas Tribune)
As interim city manager, Gonzalez made $250,000.
That's a pretty large jump, said Dallas employment attorney Matt Scott.
He says the figure of $400,000 doesn t surprise him except when compared to Dallas last city manager, Mary Suhm. Her salary topped out at $305,000.
That s about a 25 percent difference, and that seems a little off to me, Scott said, adding he believes Suhm was underpaid.
That belief is leading others to question whether Suhm was paid less because of gender bias.
That s not an unusual reaction for someone to react and say, 'It s because she s a woman.' I can t say it is or it isn t, Scott said. The only people that really know would be Mary and whether or not she thought she was fairly paid, and the other Council members.
But with Wednesday's vote, the focus is now on Gonzalez. This Council no doubt expects to get what they've paid for.

GeForce 4 MX 440 Problem: Screen flickering
I have a GeForce 4 MX 440 video card with a 1.3MHz AMD Athlon processor and 512MB SDRAM.
My screen keeps turning on and off whenever I do anything, or even when it's idle. Sometimes my icons get blacked out.
I have installed the latest nVidia drivers, reinstalled windows, and even swapped monitors, and the problem is not fixed.
Please help!
-Duc D.
EDIT: Also, sometimes my mouse cursor disappears whenever I'm doing something, and it's hard to click on something when I don't know where my mouse cursor is. If anyone knows how to fix this, please help me!
Re: GeForce 4 MX 440 Problem: Screen flickering
Another symptom: Now, whenever I try to start up, discolored vertical lines/pixels show up everywhere, and it crashes after a few seconds. :bash: Has my video card simply finished its life span? I would appreciate it if anyone can help me.

Brazil Government Indebtedness Rising 'Sharply,' Fitch Says
Oct. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Brazil's government debt is rising "sharply" and is on the high side of the median for BBB-rated sovereign securities, said Shelly Shetty, Fitch Ratings senior director and head of Latin America sovereign debt.
"Brazil's Achilles' heel is public finances," Shetty said in an interview in Sao Paulo following a speech on the country's sovereign rating. "The government overtaxes and overspends. The stock of debt is higher than peers and interest rates are higher which means that the interest burden to revenue is 15 percent, compared to the median 7 percent" for BBB sovereign peers.
Risks related to Brazil's growing public debt are offset by greater confidence that the country's growth and investment prospects are improving, Shetty said to reporters in Sao Paulo.
The country will grow about 4.2 percent in 2013, compared to 1.5 percent this year, she said. Growth recovery along with high inflationary expectations and a "tight" labor market will push the central bank to increase benchmark borrowing costs from a record-low 7.25 percent in the second half of 2013, though the rate will stay in single digits, she said.
She said Brazil's credit rating, along with most Latin American peers, is stable and "very well anchored."
