Digital Theses Project
The University Library through its Rare Book and Special Collections Library and the Scholarly Electronic Text and Image Service, is participating in a pilot project to create a database of digital versions of postgraduate theses. The participating institutions are Curtin University of Technology, Griffith University, the University of Melbourne, the University of Sydney, Australian National University and the University of Queensland. The lead institution coordinating the project and distributing software and scripts for depositing theses is the University of New South Wales Library.
Postgraduate students and graduates are encouraged to deposit their theses, following completion and awarding of their degree, by completing the form at:
This form ensures that all relevant information is supplied relating to the thesis and enables the user to upload files to the library thesis site. A consolidated search program will eventually link the resources of all participating institutions. In the short term, all theses received will be converted to pdf format for delivery on the World Wide Web. Authors may opt to restrict access to their theses for a specified period.

or contact Creagh Coleor Neil Boness.
Towards Electronic Access to Journals: Report on the Trial of "Journals@Ovid"
Over 300 Medical and Health Sciences journals available electronically in full-text on the Ovid system were accessed on a trial basis between 10 May and 11 June, 1999 through the University of Sydney Library network.
The University of Sydney Library has already been using about 90 of these journals, which are grouped in six collections and are loaded on the local server. The main advantage is that there is a link to the full text databases such as Medline, CINAHL and PsycInfo.
During the trial, an additional 210 journals were tested from a remote location on the Ovid server in Utah, US. The number of simultaneous user licences was set at 10. In the five weeks of the trial Journals@ovid had a total usage of 2,310 hours, an equivalent of 70 hours of use per day.
Objectives of the Trial
These were as follows:
- To test the viability of the electronic access of journals located on a remote server.
- To test the reliability and the response time of the service.
- To test how recent were the journals offered via the remote server. The OVID site is updated daily and this would be an advantage over the current arrangements where the OVID Collections are loaded on the library server.
- To test the reliability of the links between Medline, PsycInfo and CINAHL to the full text articles.
- To test the response time when downloading images and tables.
The Trial
The response to the trial was immediate and beyond any expectation. In general, all objectives were positively met.
Within only minutes after the announcement had been made, calls and messages were pouring in on the Medical Librarian's phone and email.
We are most grateful to all those who took the time to send their comments and appreciation of the service throughout the trial.
Some examples of the feedback are:
- The delay for a full text article is acceptable.
- Fantastic service - can it be expanded?
- For those of us in Departments that are not on campus, this service is a god-send. To be able to access journals at the desk will help us in both research as well as in clinical practice. At present I am using the trial to access three current articles which I will use for our journal club on Thursday. The availability of the most current editions means that these articles can be presented in a more timely manner than previously and the quality of the printout is sufficient for my purposes, which means that a copy from the hard copy of the journal is not necessary.
Some concern about the response time was indicated. However this might have been due to the search strategy used and the additional processing time this needed. A few people expressed their preference for articles in pdf format rather than the html format used by Ovid. Specific information was circulated in this regard. More information on this can be requested from the Medical Librarian, Monica Davis, email: email@example.com
The Outcome
Following the successful trial, the Library has made the necessary arrangements to improve the service so that:
- Medline is now updated weekly, and
- In the next few weeks all Ovid collections will be accessed from the Ovid server in Utah. Medline and the links to full text articles will then be as up-to-date as they can possibly be.
Notable Additions to the Rare Book Library
Over the course of the last six months there have been a number of highly significant items acquired for the Rare Book & Special Collections Library. Among these is a 1659 edition of the works of Roger Bacon, two medieval manuscripts, a 1597 music text by the noted composer and writer Thomas Morley, and the full facsimile of the famous Celtic manuscript, The Book of Kells, which was produced in a limited edition of only 1,480 copies in Luzern in 1990. All of these items were acquired by using a combination of endowment funds and monies provided through the Friends of the University of Sydney Library.
The two rarest items in numerical terms are undoubtedly the medieval manuscripts. These comprise a nearly complete, fifteenth century text of Italian origin, in a semi-cursive script, of De Bello Judaico by Flavius Josephus, and a Spanish Antiphonal, or Choir book, containing settings for the Mass and the Offices of Christmas, and dating to the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century. Both of these manuscripts are valuable additions to the existing group of materials of this type kept in the Rare Book Library and, like the existing items, will be extensively used in the teaching programs of the University. These are the first medieval manuscripts to be acquired by the University Library since 1964.
The work by Thomas Morley, A Plaine and easie introduction to practical music, was acquired by private sale. Since no other copy of this work is known to be held in any Australian library, and only thirty-one copies are known to exist at all, it was thought to be of great importance that an attempt be made to keep this particular volume in the country. Thomas Morley (1577-1602), alongside William Byrd and John Dowland, was one of the preeminent composers of vocal music in the last years of the reign of Elizabeth I, and its leading historian and theorist. This book is perhaps the most important contemporary piece written on music theory in Elizabethan times and is still held in high regard today. Written in dialogue form the work contains not only eight original compositions by Morley but also much valuable information about the compositional techniques of the period, and about contemporary musicians and performance practices.
The volume of the Book of Kells is a copy of the first and only complete facsimile ever to be produced of this famous work, widely regarded as the most precious illuminated manuscript of the early Middle Ages and one of the greatest and best known art treasures of the world. This facsimile is regarded as being virtually indistinguishable from the original, duplicating the colours, the shape of the pages and even the worm holes and binder's cuts. The manuscript, which contains a Latin version of the gospels on 340 vellum leaves (680 pages) was produced some time in the eighth century in an Irish monastic scriptorium, either at Kells, Iona or Northumbria.
Richly decorated, the work has no contemporary rival for artistic design or calligraphy and only two of the 680 pages do not contain illustrations of some kind. These include human figures, abstract designs and animals. In many cases these are manipulated and stylized to form letters. It is anticipated that the volume will be widely used and consulted and will be placed on display later in the year.
All of these items are now available for research and study and may be consulted in the Rare Book Reading Room, 9.00am - 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday.
Hidden Gems
Many valuable research tools sit quietly in the Fisher Library Audiovisual collection - often unnoticed and under-utilised. One of the treasures of this collection is the Eighteenth Century microform series. Containing a massive 9,870 microfilm reels and still going strong, the collection is based on the Eighteenth century short title catalogue (ESTC). It aims to reproduce "... every notable item printed in any language in Great Britain and its colonies, and printed in English anywhere in the world between 1701-1800."
Such is the size of this undertaking that the Library began purchasing this collection jointly with the State Library of NSW and the University of NSW in 1983. Each library acquired particular sections of the series:
- University of Sydney: religion, philosophy, literature and language.
- State Library of NSW: history, geography, fine art, general, reference & miscellaneous.
- University of NSW: social science and law
The University of NSW has since retired from the field, with the University of Sydney now purchasing the units on social science and law.
The Eighteenth Century collection is in Fisher Library Audiovisual at Call Number 820.8 275.
New Electronic Databases
All of the following new databases are available to current University of Sydney staff and students:
A & H Search
Relevant for archaeology, architecture, art, classics, dance, film & television, folklore, history, language and linguistics, literature, music, philosophy, religious studies and theatre. As well as performing regular subject searches, this database may be used to perform citation searches to establish how many times articles have been cited by other authors.

A New Service: Lists of New Books Added to the Collection
The Library is pleased to offer a new service to the University community with the provision of monthly lists of new titles added to the collection. These lists display on the Library's web site at:
Click on the heading Library catalogues and then on New Books, or you can go directly to: http//opac.library.usyd.edu.au/ftlist
You will find lists of new titles added to Library collections in the preceding month. There is a separate list for each Library site.
The lists are created monthly and consist of newly catalogued material from the preceding calendar month. All new books/items in all formats and newly catalogued serial titles (print and electronic) are included in the lists, with records being displayed in alphabetical order by title. In some cases, because of repair or binding, there may be a delay before the item is actually available on the shelves in the home library. As the lists are based on the cataloguing date, they will sometimes include older material that has recently been converted to or upgraded on the database.
You may view the lists of new material, export/email a selection of records you are interested in (click on Export on the menu bar), and place a "hold" on certain items (click on Request on the menu bar).
Some members of academic staff have shown interest in receiving the monthly lists by electronic mail. For a trial period to the end of 1999, the Library will email listings of new books to members of academic staff who wish to participate. The trial includes the following categories of new materials added to the Fisher collection:
001-299 Philosophy, Psychology, Religion
300-349 Social Sciences: Sociology, Politics, Economics, Law
350-399 Social Sciences: Social Work, Public Administration, Education
400s & 800s Language, Literature
500-699 Sciences and Technology
700s & 900s The Arts, History, Geography
The email listings will include the basic bibliographic details of each new item: author, title, place, publisher, year and call number. If you wish to receive email listings, please send details of your name, faculty, email address and list(s) you wish to receive to: email@example.com

ScienceDirect Trial
As part of the Library's consideration of a strategic shift to adopt a preference for full-text networked electronic journals, we are pleased to announce that from the last week in July until the end of September access will be available to the ScienceDirect database, which includes the full text of 473 electronic journals published by Elsevier to which the Library holds a print subscription. Please read the Library's discussion paper on Electronic Access to Journals:
ScienceDirect is a Web database for scientific research in the life, physical, medical, technical, and social sciences available through the Internet. To provide a starting point for the research process, and to expand the literature coverage beyond Elsevier Science journals, ScienceDirect also contains abstracts from core journals in the major scientific disciplines.
To access ScienceDirect you need to have a World Wide browser loaded on your computer, either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer (3.0 or better for both), and Adobe Acrobat Reader to view PDF articles. The Adobe reader is available for free download from the Adobe site.
Access points to ScienceDirect have been made via the Library Catalogue under the individual journal titles, and also through the EJournal Home Page.
You may also connect directly with the address: http://www.sciencedirect.com (using the group login option - no password is required because access is automatically recognised by your IP address).
We welcome any feedback you want to give us regarding the service, particularly in the context of the Library's proposed shift to networked access to journals. We would greatly appreciate your taking the time to fill out the survey form.
European Microform Collections Project
The National Library of Australia and a group of Australian university libraries are participating in the European Microform Project in order to improve access to European microform collections held in Australian libraries. Bibliographic records for the individual items in the microform collections have been added to the National Bibliographic Database. Australian libraries have added their holdings information to the records. The records can be retrieved in Kinetica, the new national bibliographic system. Further information on this project can be viewed at: Gateways Issue 39
So far records and holdings for the individual titles in the collections listed below have been added to Kinetica:
- British and continental rhetoric and elocution
- Bibliotek der Deutschen literatur
- Early English books 1475-1640 (Pollard and Redgrave)
- Early English books (1641-1700) (Wing) (Units 63-64)
- French revolutionary pamphlets
- German baroque literature. Yale collection
- Goldsmiths-Kress library of economic literature. (Segments 1 and 2)
- History of science: Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America
- Spanish Civil War collection
- Special studies, Europe and NATO 1970-1980
- Special studies, Soviet Union 1970-1980
- Thomason tracts 1641-1661
- Three centuries of drama. American and English 1500-1800
The University of Sydney Library holds complete sets of three of these microform collections and the records for the individual items in these collections have been added to the Library's online catalogue:
- Spanish Civil War (2,253 records) at 946.081/201 in the Fisher Library AV collection.
- Three Centuries of Drama: English plays (3,707 records) at XTA6 on Fl.2 of the Undergraduate Library in Fisher.
- Three Centuries of Drama: American plays (399 records) at XTA6 on Fl.2 of the Undergraduate Library in Fisher.
Access to these collections will be greatly improved by the inclusion of these records in the catalogue, particularly access by subject searches.
Please note that as our holdings of the sets Early English Books 1475-1640 (Pollard and Redgrave) and Early English Books (1641-1700) (Wing) (Units 63-64) are not complete, due to technical difficulties it was not possible to add our holdings to the individual records for these items on Kinetica nor to add them to the local online catalogue.
An example of a record for an item in the Spanish Civil War collection can be found by searching for the author Iramuno, Xavier d' in the online catalogue.

Solid recruiting
class for Keating
Colville High senior Matt Hubbard has made an oral commitment to play for coach Kerry Keating's Santa Clara Broncos.
The 6-9 Hubbard, an All-Great Northern League and Northeast A League pick his first three years at CHS and the team's leading scorer and rebounder all three seasons, says he's excited to be heading to the West Coast Conference school.
"It feels so good to have gotten through the whole recruiting process," one of the top prep players in the Northwest said last week. "It was pretty stressful toward the end of it."
Hubbard will sign his official National Letter of Intent in Colville on Nov. 13.
Hubbard, who has played AAU basketball with the top high school players in the nation, had narrowed his list of schools toward the end of the summer to Santa Clara, University of the Pacific, the University of Idaho, Montana and the University of Portland.
Serious schools
"Those were the schools that were seriously interested," noted Hubbard, who was also on Gonzaga University's radar for a time.
Hubbard, who says he is planning to major in business at the Jesuit Catholic university in California's Silicon Valley, added that there were around 10 schools that "I had developed relationships with and had shown heavy interest."
The highest profile prep basketball player in CHS history said he chose Santa Clara over University of the Pacific (Stockton, CA) because of the feel he had for the private university of just over 5,000 students and how well he connected with head coach Keating's current roster.
"It was just a feel I had when I was on campus (at Santa Clara) and how well I connected with the guys," Hubbard added. "The decision was tough because two of my closest friends and teammates (AAU) committed to Pacific…and Pacific has a great coaching staff.
"But I loved the coaches (at Santa Clara)…and then the fact they have great academics made it feel like a perfect fit."

The new PlayStation Vita 2000 model that was revealed by Sony earlier this week won't be released outside its native Japan anytime soon, with the company confirming that it has no plans to launch it in North America or Europe.
The PS Vita was released back in February of last year and, seeing as how sales haven't been that impressive, Sony went to great lengths to promote the portable device.
After a recent price cut for the regular PS Vita, Sony revealed the PS Vita 2000, a new and improved model that comes in more colors, with a better battery, 1GB of built-in memory, and more. However, it doesn't feature an OLED screen, as it has been replaced with a LED one.
The new model will debut in Japan on October 10 and, as of yet, Sony has no plans to release it outside the Asian country, according to a statement from the company to IGN.
Considering Sony is focusing first on Japan with the PS Vita, it makes sense to see the PS Vita 2000 reach other countries either later this year or in early 2014.

Home » Case Studies » Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust and Progression
The Create Your Legacy event brings together elite level athletes and those seeking alternative or complementary careers with employers. It is a partnership between the Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust and Progression.
DKH wanted to track every aspect of their marketing spend relating to the event, allowing them to get a real sense of ROI and improve the registration process for attendees the following year. Their marketing channels included:
WebPraxis built an optimised landing page driven site for the event focused on generating registrations, and tracking individual registration sources.
We also provided ongoing marketing reports throughout the registration process which helped DKH legacy trust and Progression decide on which marketing channels to focus their efforts.
The Create Your Legacy events at Reading's Madejski Stadium and The Manchester Velodrome attracted a number of high profile sportsmen and women including Dame Kelly Holmes, Gareth Southgate, Dion Dublin and Nick Gillingham.
Just under 1000 athletes registered for the events via the website. The main audience base predominantly came from professional football but others from motor racing and swimming also attended.
The platform will be maintained as a one stop shop for athletes attending future careers events hosted by The Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust and League Football Education.
"The Create Your Legacy website underpinned all the work that went on to run hugely successful careers events for elite athletes.
"It provided us with a one stop solution to deal with areas like athlete and exhibitor registrations, pre and post event information, social media and press enquiries.
"Importantly it was a medium that helped the athletes attending make the most of the days by giving them information about what to expect on arrival and it is a space that we look forward to advancing for future events."
Louise Wolsey, Communications and Fundraising Director, Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust

Gulfstream Park Set For Historic July 1 Opening Day of Summer Meet
Gulfstream Park Set For Historic July 1 Opening Day of Summer Meet
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Gulfstream Park will celebrate opening day of its first-ever live summer Thoroughbred meeting Monday, July 1 with an eight-race program highlighted by special appearances by four of racing's most prominent jockeys.
Two-time defending Gulfstream champion Javier Castellano will be joined by Hall of Famers John Velazquez and Edgar Prado, as well as Joel Rosario, to compete on Monday's program. The four stars, who have ridden the winners of more than 16,700 races and $790 million in purses, will also greet fans and sign autographs and memorabilia.
Rosario, who rode Orb to victories in the Besilu Stable Fountain of Youth (G2) and Florida Derby (G1) at Gulfstream before his triumph in this year's Kentucky Derby (G1), and Prado, a two-time riding champion at Gulfstream, will be the most active of the star quartet. They are scheduled to ride in five races each, while Castellano was named on three horses and Velazquez has accepted two mounts.
Both Castellano and Rosario are slated to ride in the featured seventh race, a $35,000 optional claiming allowance race for 3-year-old fillies at six furlongs. Trainer Eddie Plesa Jr. named Castellano to ride Felixia, a daughter of Free Thinking who is coming off a front-running victory at Calder in her career debut on May 2. Rosario is set to ride the Marty Wolfson-trained Jewel in the Sky, who will return to the allowance ranks after three straight stakes appearances.
Following up on Monday's opener, Gulfstream Park will celebrate the Fourth of July on Thursday with the first running of the $100,000 Armed Forces, a 1 1/16-mile turf stakes for 3-year-olds and up. Live racing will continue on Saturdays, Sundays and Monday holidays through November before the start of the traditional Champions Meet on Dec. 1
Post time is scheduled for 12:50 p.m.

The writeup assumes that no version of Internet Explorer can be thought of as a modern browser. This is not true for IE 10 and 11.
That said, a countrywide de-facto standard forcing vendor lock-in is bad.
Android is not Motorola. If Motorola is losing money it doesn't
follow that Android is.
Motorola's losses show other players in the market either that being an Android OEM is unprofitable even if it's Google itself, or that Google is willing to sustain losses to better compete with other Android OEMs. Neither interpretation bodes well for other manufacturers using Android.
Android is popular because any manufacturer can make a fully functional phone for very little development cost. Free is a strength, not a weakness. Microsoft has a closed proprietary phone and it isn't doing well at all.
As an upside to keeping their cards close to their vest, they have easily rolled out a "fuck your OEM/carrier, here's a dev preview directly from us if you're not afraid of voiding your warranty", and it's not reported to be causing many problems to people trying it.
Google cannot push an update for the above-hardware parts of Android and expect everything to work, because the device vendors have been tweaking those as well. So the tinkerers have to use third-party mods like Cyanogen, or stick with a Nexus.
It is a win-win proposition for everyone and that is why it does so well.
In practice, it shifts control to the manufacturers, and the benefits for the vast majority of the end-users are not so clear cut.
This comment, and its moderation, show why I read Slashdot comments with slightly nostalgic condescension these days.
Sure, old buddy, but... we have moved on.
Bus stops are ubiquitous around metropolitan Helsinki. They not only use the stops used by "main line" buses, but also stops on smaller residential roads that are served by minibus lines catering to seniors and other people with reduced mobility (a Kutsuplus vehicle is basically the same minibus equipped with high-tech gizmos). They have even invented new stops for themselves in places they notice people often go to.
With any luck, our government will also tax our gas to the point where paying $10 to wait for a bus in the rain and then ride in it with random strangers for an hour all over the town will make more sense than driving directly there in comfort of your own car in 15 minutes.
You don't need the government for that. Rising oil prices may do this sooner than we all switch to electric cars, natgas, or something else. Pretty much every datum in your rainy day scenario is sheer hyperbole as far as Helsinki capital area is concerned. Car commute is pretty fast, but if you need to park downtown, you'd need to spend extra time and money. Kutsuplus also drives you almost door to door, and you can come up to the pickup point at the prearranged time without waiting, or even track the bus in real time.
Random strangers are called the society. Here, the society is not that scary in general; most people would rather stare at their shoes than acknowledge your existence, unless you need help.
And who says innovation comes only from the private sector!
This project has been developed by a private company, and it aims to be profitable.
Such a service would be very useful in rural areas, indeed.
For now, though, Kutsuplus is piloted within Kehä I, AKA the perimeter of civilization around Helsinki
I tried the service shortly after it was opened to the public. It's awesome. You can track your bus in a mobile browser in real time. On a screen inside the bus, you get ETA information for your destination (possibly after other passengers' stops if they get out earlier).
i think Nokia cannot compete....unless it shifts to andriod...
... and introduces an Android-specific cable connector.
Never go full retard.
Curious to know people's thoughts on this: how necessary are projects like MATE now that GNOME 3 has a supported-in-the-long-term "Classic" mode
Why, there should always be a project that people will loudly "threaten" to switch to every time somebody makes a development commit affecting their favorite workflow habit.
Damn it people, so much emotional attachment to a company because it once had the distinction to cock up an OSS-based project.
Please get it through your heads: Nokia shareholders' objectives do not include supporting the cause of Linux, or Qt, or whatever. It is, plainly, to make money. They are fucking happy to see something sellworthy made out of the dysfunctional wreck that Nokia was in 2010.
I'm a bit suspicious about that. Almost every smartphone upstart these days claims ability to run Android apps, and in the end it comes to very little.
Please realize it's not just Dalvik emulation that you need to do to make an Android application work. There is a whole lot of services and intent handlers that an app may rely upon, many of them digging into system internals, most of them are not under AOSP. These need to be implemented compatibly on an alien platform, basically from scratch. So, it's a major effort to undertake, in addition to your platform development. And there will inevitably be a long tail of apps that just don't work because you missed some little detail, or bug-for-bug compatibility.
Has anyone actually tried those myriad Android apps that were claimed to be ported to Blackberry OS 10?
(Sigh) Please read this. Keep close attention to the dates and how each device is named. I hope it will help to remove a lot of confusion from your postings. As someone who was in on the events described, I can attest that the article is mostly correct.
What myth? It's in numerous sources backed up by financials and information from Nokia itself.
Continuation of this discussion would require you to provide the sources.
Nah, it's still alternative history.

text: Cultural Capital 20 October 2009 Art prize junks controversial sponsor New award drops Trafigura Print HTML The Cynthia Corbett Gallery, which was to host an inaugural Trafigura Prize for young artists in November, yesterday announced its decision to drop its sponsor, rebranding the event as the Young Masters Art Prize and leaving the winner with a non-monetary offering in place of the £4,000 originally provided. "We feel that the recent events involving Trafigura are detracting from the main purpose of the prize, which is to celebrate emerging and newly established artists," the gallery said. Clearly Cynthia Corbett wishes to distance itself and the shortlisted artists from the typhoon of bad press surrounding the oil and metals multinational. The cachet associated with arts sponsorship is usually very effective brand management for corporate giants in crisis. Bell Pottinger, PR firm for Trafigura, offers "crisis management" services for clients facing negative press, including setting up "high-profile, hugely impactful" arts sponsorships to generate positive coverage. Another client of Bell Pottinger's is BAE Systems. It remains to be seen whether other galleries will be as bold as Cynthia Corbett in cutting their corporate ties -- even when that means losing prize money. › Boris v Cameron part 94 From only £1 a week Subscribe More Related articles The oblivious assassin: trained killers in films who are just like you and me The end of One Direction: why I'll miss the fans more than the remarkably average boys How books help us to be better political citizens

Depends mainly on how it's forged.Iron in the form of castings or forgings can be brittle. Iron forms a metallic crystal structure when changing phase from liquid to solid, and the crystal structure can be subject to brittle failure. If the load or force on something that is cast iron is great enough and applied in the right (wrong) way, it will fail due to this brittle fracture.
Metal can be brittle.

Do your kids have an Easy Bake Oven? It was one of those items I wanted very badly as a child (along with a trampoline), but never got. Of course, before my oldest daughter was even old enough to play with one, my mom bought her one. hmmm, what's up with that? Anyway, not going to delve to deeply into that. And no, this is not a sponsored post for Hasbro or Easy Bake. This is an FYI. I was a little shocked when my kids were playing over Spring Break with their little oven. I thought it was great b/c they were playing away (not fighting!) and I love that they have so much fun cooking, but my oldest daughter - who reads nutrition labels religiously!- said "Mama!! This has TRANS fat in it!!" (said with much disgust, outrage and surprise - since I'm always preaching how we should never eat anything with the evil trans fat in it) I had to admit, I was pretty surprised. I mean, here is this little baking kit - specifically designed to be prepared and consumed by children, and it contains trans fat. Yuck.
It looks innocent and fun right?! But look at this -
The frosting and nacho cheese mixes to dip the pretzels in were horrible! And - not allergy safe, so the little man had to stay away from it. Now, this is only for the pretzel kit, b/c it's the only we had left, so I can't speak to the rest of the product line. And I'm NOT saying 'don't let your kids play with Easy Bake', b/c my kids love it...
What I am saying is be aware of what your kids are consuming, and teach them how to read nutrition labels, so that they, too, can be aware of what to look for and how to make better choices. We just threw the frosting mix away, and were going to use our own mix of confectioner's sugar and milk, but they ended up with other plans for the rest of the day. So they quickly abandoned the Easy Bake (leaving all the mess for me to clean up). So anyway, just thought I would share that little tidbit of information with anyone reading. I know I'll be paying closer attention the the mixes next time. I guess we could make up our own mixes....but they would have to be in super small quantities so they could cook under the light bulb! I'll have to google that, see if anyone has tried it before!
Okay, so I Googled it...and yes, there are several "recipes" online for making your own mixes for the Easy Bake oven! Awesome. (They aren't cheap ya know!) That way, you can control the quality of ingredients used! My kids will love making up their own mixes, then baking them! And I love the small individual portions, so that we don't have a big cake laying around tempting me. I have NO will power!
I won't be around this weekend, b/c (for some unknown reason) I'm taking my girls camping (in a tent!) with Girl Scouts. How do I get myself into these things? Camping? In a tent? As in sleeping on the ground?! With NO SHOWERS. That's the worst part. Well, besides what the bathroom accommodations may be. And the mosquitoes. And the ground. And no electricity. ohhh. emm. geee.

Publishing Documents, Notes, and Document Sets
Ready to share your documents with readers? Either by embedding our custom viewer or using oEmbed, you can publish individual documents, embed a set of documents that readers can browse, or embed a single note from any document. Here's how:
- Making documents public
- Generating embed codes:
- WordPress Shortcodes
- oEmbed service
Making Documents Public
Before you publish a note, document or document set, you'll want to make sure that the document or documents are public. There are two ways to do this:
- Edit the "Access Level" (from the "Edit" menu).
- Set a publication date (from the "Publish" menu).
Embed Codes for Individual Documents
To publish any document from DocumentCloud, either download a standalone copy of the viewer, or generate, copy, and paste a simple embed code for that document. We strongly encourage you to embed code that links back to DocumentCloud for most documents. The instructions that follow assume some basic familiarity with HTML, but we've tried to keep the embedding process as simple as possible.
We maintain a list of some of our favorite embedded documents as examples of how newsrooms might embed documents.
Review your Metadata
Before you embed a document on your site, we encourage you to fill in a couple of additional pieces of information about the document. Open the document to take one more look over the document's title, description, source, and public notes. If everything is as you like it, you're ready to continue.
Select a document, open the "Publish" menu and click "Embed Document Viewer." Alternately, right-click the document and select "Embed Document Viewer."
A dialog will appear, asking you to fill in two additional pieces of information: the Related Article URL and the Published URL. The Related Article URL is the location of the article that uses this document as source material — adding this URL means that readers who find the document first will still find your reporting, too. The Published URL is the page where the document is embedded. Most users won't need to provide this — pixel ping can usually tell us where the document is embedded. If a document might be accessed at more than one URL, however, you can specify the URL we should send users to if they find the document through a search of DocumentCloud.
On step one, you'll also see a checkbox offering to make the document public, if it's not already. While it's possible to paste the embed code before the document is made public, it won't start working until you've published the document on DocumentCloud.
If you're not ready to make the document public, you can schedule it to be published at a future date. Click "Set Publication Date" in the "Publish" menu and choose a date and an hour when you would like the document to be made public. This is useful if you know when your story is going live, or if your story is running in the middle of the night.
Configure the Document Viewer
Depending on how you wish to display the document, you have two choices: You can create a template for a full page viewer, with your own logo, links, analytics and advertising; or you can embed a fixed size viewer directly inside an article. You can also embed multiple fixed size viewers on a single page.
To create a full page template, use a fluid-width layout with just a header — the viewer will take up the rest of the page. Make sure that your template has a proper doctype and passes the HTML validator. Templates that throw Internet Explorer into quirks mode will cause the viewer to display incorrectly.
Live examples worth checking out are at the Chicago Tribune and ProPublica, but there are plenty more.
If you opt to embed a fixed size viewer, set the width and height in pixels. Both the sidebar and the text tab can be shown or not. We recommend hiding the sidebar in document viewers that are narrower than 800 pixels. If you're embedding handwritten documents or documents with poor OCR results, hiding the text tab is usually a good idea. Use the "preview the document viewer" link to see an example of the viewer rendered to your specifications.
To see a live example of a fixed size document with no sidebar, take a look at this ballot from WNYC.
Copy and Paste the Code
Click on the "Next" button to proceed to step 3, and you'll see the embed code: a snippet of HTML that can be pasted into any web page to create a document viewer. The code will look something like this:

DV.load('http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/10-general-report.js', {
container : '#viewer-10-general-report'
Place the embed code on your page, in the location where you would like the viewer to appear. The next time you load the page, the viewer should be up and running.
Testing Embedded Documents
On occasion you may have embedded documents which you would like to remain private while you test them in a new feature or page layout. You can view your private embedded documents when logged in by changing the embedded document's url in the embed code (see the line beginning with "DV.load") from the "http" protocol to "https". Please make sure to set your embed codes back to HTTP when you set your documents to public.
Stay in Touch
Let us know about your reporting!
Embed Codes for a Note in a Document
If you have annotated a document, you can embed any note directly on your site. Users can embed notes from any document for which you have edit privileges. To embed a note, select any document and then choose "Embed a Note" from the "Publish" menu.
You'll be asked to select the note to embed, and will be able to preview the embedded note. Use your own CSS to control the width of any note on your site. Your HTML embed code will look something like this:

Copy and paste the HTML onto your own site. Clicking the title or the image will open the document. Documents will open in DocumentCloud unless you've published them elsewhere. We use pixel ping to guess a document's Published URL, so if users won't find the document another way, you may need to add the Published URL manually.
Embed Codes for a Document Set
If you'd rather embed a complete set of documents, DocumentCloud can provide the HTML to do that as well. Readers will be able to search or filter through as many documents as you'd like to share with them.
You can embed any set of documents, whether or not you uploaded them: any document that has already been published by its contributor will open to the URL at which it originally appeared.
To get started, find a set of documents you wish to embed -- either by selecting a project or by running a search. Note: future public documents added to the project or matching the search criteria will be added to your embedded document set. Open the "Publish" menu and select "Embed Document List." You'll see a dialog which allows you to configure the embedded set:
- Provide a title to be displayed above the embedded set of documents;
- Order documents alphabetically, by date uploaded, or by length;
- Set the number of documents to display per page so that the embedded set suits the height and width of the space you have available;
- Hide or reveal a search bar that will allow your readers to search within the embedded set.
Once you're comfortable with your settings, preview the embedded document set. If the preview looks good, copy and paste the HTML embed code. Here's an example of what the embed code should look like:

dc.embed.load('http://www.documentcloud.org/search/embed/', {
q: "projectid: 8-epa-flouride",
container: "#DC-search-projectid-8-epa-flouride",
order: "title",
per_page: 12,
search_bar: true,
organization: 117
Paste the code into on your website, and you'll see the set of documents appear.
Click on any document to open it. If you've previously published the document on your website, we should have automatically detected its URL, and it will open at that URL. If the document is public but has not yet been published, it will open on DocumentCloud.org. If you're sure that you've published a document but it still opens on DocumentCloud.org, open the "Edit" menu, click "Published URL", and manually set the URL at which the document has been published.
WordPress Shortcodes
Users who publish via WordPress can install a plugin that lets you embed DocumentCloud resources using shortcodes.
Download the DocumentCloud plugin at its WordPress plugin page. Install and activate it according to the directions.
Once activated, you can embed resources with a simple shortcode. You also can pass additional parameters to control the size and attributes of the embed. For example, if you want to embed a document at 800px wide, pre-scrolled to page 3:
[documentcloud url="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/282753-lefler-thesis.html" width="800" default_page="3"]
If you don't indicate a width (or manually disable responsive widths with
responsive="false"), then the document will automatically narrow and widen to fill available width.
For a note, use any note-specific URL:
[documentcloud url="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/282753-lefler-thesis.html#document/p1/a53674"]
A list of all the parameters you can use with the shortcode is available on the plugin page.
oEmbed Service
oEmbed is a Web standard for providing embedded content on a site via a request to the URL of the resource. If a content management system supports oEmbed, you can simply paste in the URL to a DocumentCloud resource, and the CMS will fetch it via our oEmbed API and embed it. Check with your organization's systems administrator about whether your CMS supports oEmbed.
Example document URL for oEmbed
Example note URL for oEmbed

FINLAND RALLY SS20BP Ford Abu Dhabi Team driver Jari-Matti Latvala was the star of Sunday's opening stage in Finland, taking his fourth stage win of the rally and a big bite out of the gap to Sebastien Loeb's second place.
On Saturday night, Ford team boss Malcolm Wilson said he didn't mind if Latvala finished third or fourth today, but over the 10.82km of SS20 the Finn slashed the gap to second from 36.3sec to 26.0sec. After a nasty bout of food poisoning on Saturday, Latvala said he was much better today. "I'm actually feeling good - nearly perfect," he said. "The drive was good. I made a little mistake near the start when I was finding the rhythm but no problems." Completing the stage before Latvala, Citroen C4 driver Loeb didn't report any concerns at the finish control. "It was okay, no problems, just driving carefully," he said. Dani Sordo was second fastest on the stage, and not hopeful of taking the final podium spot from Latvala. "My time is not bad but it will be difficult to catch him. Maybe I can take a little more risk, but 13sec I think is too much," he said. Citroen Junior team driver Sebastien Ogier was third fastest, and narrowed the gap to local driver Matti Rantanen in the overall standings from 17.5sec to 14.7sec. "The stage was good and we took some time from him - but not a lot!" said the Frenchman.Rantanen ended Saturday's competition well placed in fifth overall but dissatisfied with his performance. He was more positive this morning: "Now I'm happy, we had a good stage, no major mistakes. The next one should be fun," he said. Matthew Wilson was fourth fastest in his Stobart team Ford Focus. "That was an awesome stage - it's my favourite," said the Briton.After a rainy start to Saturday's competition, Sunday dawned bright and sunny with a light breeze and an early morning temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. Rally Finland leader Mikko Hirvonen kept things neat and tidy through the stage, setting the sixth fastest time but maintaining a healthy 35.5sec advantage. "A very steady drive, no panic. I'll try and keep my pace," said Mikko. Full results on www.wrc.com also results, videos and newsPhotos on automobilsport.com under PHOTOS SLIDESHOW and Photos Ecards WRC RALLYES

Additional product details
Clouds are distributed technology platforms that leverage sophisticated technology innovations to provide highly scalable and resilient environments that can be remotely utilized by organizations in a multitude of powerful ways. To successfully build upon, integrate with, or even create a cloud environment requires an understanding of its common inner mechanics, architectural layers, and models, as well as an understanding of the business and economic factors that result from the adoption and real-world use of cloud-based services.
In Cloud Computing: Concepts, Technology & Architecture, Thomas Erl, one of the world's top-selling IT authors, teams up with cloud computing experts and researchers to break down proven and mature cloud computing technologies and practices into a series of well-defined concepts, models, technology mechanisms, and technology architectures, all from an industry-centric and vendor-neutral point of view. In doing so, the book establishes concrete, academic coverage with a focus on structure, clarity, and well-defined building blocks for mainstream cloud computing platforms and solutions.
Subsequent to technology-centric coverage, the book proceeds to establish business-centric models and metrics that allow for the financial assessment of cloud-based IT resources and their comparison to those hosted on traditional IT enterprise premises. Also provided are templates and formulas for calculating SLA-related quality-of-service values and numerous explorations of the SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS delivery models.
With more than 260 figures, 29 architectural models, and 20 mechanisms, this indispensable guide provides a comprehensive education of cloud computing essentials that will never leave your side.

She's been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, The View, Good Morning America, Mercola.com, The 700 Club, The Huffington Post, and much more. She prides herself on "thinking outside the pill."

Magnesium has to be one of my all-time favorite minerals because it has beneficial effects all over the body. Think of it as your chill pill because it makes you relax from your head down to your toes. Magnesium is important for a good mood, first and foremost, but most people don't realize it's also necessary for stabilizing blood pressure. Without enough magnesium, your blood pressure rises. You need the mineral to keep your heart beating in perfect rhythm and to keep your pancreas functioning optimally.
Deficiencies of magnesium can lead to cardiac and blood sugar issues. Western societies are short on magnesium in part as a result of soil depletion and the processing of food. I believe this is one reason why we are seeing so much heart disease, depression, and diabetes. Magnesium is not as chic as calcium. You don't see people wearing magnesium mustaches, do you? If you did, they'd be green, since magnesium is found in a lot of green foods, including seaweed, spinach, turnip greens, and spirulina. It would not be pretty.
I feel that magnesium is so important that without enough of it in your system, you will suffer more diseases in your lifetime and die sooner than if you had normal, healthy levels. Seriously, it's that important.
Magnesium deficiency can cause muscle weakness, tremor, and spasm. Your heart is a muscle. If you get a spasm or tremor in your heart, you're in trouble. In fact, magnesium deficiency can cause arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, irregular contraction, and rapid heart rate. Some studies show that magnesium also benefits people with asthma by preventing bronchospasm.
Magnesium is so protective of the brain that when you run low, you are more prone to migraines, insomnia, anxiety, phobias, brain fog, depression, and suicidal thoughts. A deficiency of this mighty mineral could result in more frequent headaches, migraines, fasciculation (twitching), muscle pain, fibromyalgia, poor nail growth, and asthma. And if that's not bad enough, you could also develop leg cramps, tenderness all over your body, a weak heart, high blood pressure, and thicker, stickier blood.
Since magnesium is married to calcium and used to build bone, a magnesium deficiency could cause bone brittleness (osteoporosis), a condition more likely to occur in women. In fact, women have a particularly hard time of it when they run low on magnesium. In addition to osteoporosis, we see a lot more emotional instability and PMS symptoms such as tearfulness, cramps, mood swings, and irritability—even panic attacks.
Kids need magnesium for healthy brain function. Studies have shown that low magnesium can cause attention deficit problems. In fact, medical researchers have known about this effect for quite some time. One study done way back in 1997 found that 95 percent of kids with ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) were deficient in magnesium. In 1987, another trial included 75 magnesium-deficient children with ADHD who were randomly assigned to receive either magnesium along with their standard treatment or just their standard treatment alone for 6 months. Those who received magnesium showed a significant improvement in personality and behavior, while the control group exhibited worsening behavior over the study period. This explains why many natural supplements for ADHD contain magnesium. The mineral helps relax the brain and allow more focus.
This book is for adults, not children, so the doses I suggest throughout the book are adult doses. But it seems necessary to include appropriate daily children's doses here: For children 1 to 3 years old, 80 mg; for children 4 to 8, 130 mg; and for children 9 to 13, 240 mg. Make sure you let your child's pediatrician know about the supplement. If your child takes medication, you'll want to get the doctor's approval before starting.
I often recommend this mineral to people with depression (for mood stability), fibromyalgia (because it reduces muscle pain), and anger management problems and for aggressive personalities (for its calming effects). Make no mistake, if you are married to a Tasmanian devil who blows his or her fuse at the sight of dirty dishes, magnesium won't do a thing for it. It's really for people who want to chill out a bit more, stop being worrywarts, feel more content, or reduce the frequency of panic attacks.
Some experts think magnesium has a place in treating suicidal depression, and I happen to agree. Anyone with serious depression should, of course, be under a doctor's care. But do ask the doctor about adding a magnesium supplement to the treatment regimen. It goes without saying that it's a good bet for milder forms of depression as well. Many of my readers have taken magnesium for this reason with good results after reading a syndicated column that I wrote on the subject, "Natural Ways to Ease Depression and Reduce Anxiety." It is now posted on my Web site, suzycohen.com.
I've saved the best surprise of all for last: One bar of exceptionally dark chocolate contains about 300 mg of magnesium. I've drawn the conclusion that chocolate is not only good for your soul, it's also good for your brain! Sweet.
UPDATE: A reader emailed and asked us, "Why did Suzy specify how much magnesium kids should take, but not adults?" So we asked her. This was her answer...
For general drug mugging replenishment, I usually just say 300 - 400 mg once or twice daily.
With a person who has a heart arrhythmia, who has been shown via testing to be magnesium-wasting or deficient (as measured by erythrocyte mag levels), then I think it's safer to go a little higher, with doctor's supervision of course and not forever (a shorter term).
Tests used to determine mag levels are either RBC mag levels (blood draw) or something like a NutrEval by Genova, or Spectracell analysis or Metametrix (your practitioners will know what this is).
With your product [Jigsaw Magnesium w/SRT], since it has malic acid, it is great for people with muscle pain too, and I like the dose of 2 tabs twice a day. But with MD approval, I think you could even higher. The only problem with too much mag is that it tilts the sister minerals out of balance, and after chronic ingestion of high mag dosing, you could see a relative deficiency in other minerals like calcium, zinc, etc.
With cheap brands, you see the diarrhea as you know.

How to Treat Infected Lymph Nodes
People or children who experience swollen lymph nodes for the first time may find it alarming. In severe cases, swollen nodes may mean that cancer cells have begun to invade the nodes. In most cases though, inflamed lymph nodes are simply a sign that they are trying to fight an infection in your body.
Viral, bacterial or even fungal infections can cause lymph nodes to swell. This is because the lymphocytes in the nodes increase in number so they can deal with the invading bodies. The firs thing that you have to do even before considering treatment is to make sure that you really have an infection. You may think that having fever is immediately a sign that you indeed have an infection. Prolonged fever however with other symptoms like nausea and chills may be a sign of a more serious condition.
The location of the swollen lymph nodes may give you a clue about which part of the body is infected. The major clusters of lymph nodes can be found in the groin, neck and arm pit areas. These lymph node clusters filter the lymph fluid from the specific organs or areas near them. Swollen lymph nodes in certain areas of the neck for example may mean that you may have a throat, scalp or respiratory tract infection.
Common conditions that make lymph nodes swell include measles, sore throat, colds, mumps, abscessed tooth, herpes, syphilis, ingrown nails, ear infections and infected wounds. Do not leave infections to heal on their own. This may result in the bacteria progressing to your bloodstream. Your condition could easily become life threatening.
Size of Infected Node
Some of us may be able to feel our lymph nodes by gently pressing on lymph node areas. Usually though these nodes stay out of sight. Your lymph node may be infected if it seems to protrude from the skin and grows to more than half an inch. Sometimes they may not cause pain but more advanced infections can result in pain, redness and tenderness.
Even after your infection goes away, your lymph nodes may still remain swollen for some time but with little or no pain. They will eventually return to their original sizes after a few weeks.
You can treat infected nodes by treating the infection itself. Depending on your condition, your doctor may recommend antibiotics and over the counter pain relievers. Certain conditions like syphilis and respiratory tract infection may require special types of strong medication prescribed by your doctor. Be very careful with dosages and medicine types if you are medicating a child. Remember too that the full duration of antibiotic treatment should be finished even if you get better before the prescribed duration is done. Taking antibiotics exactly as prescribed will help eliminate all remaining traces of bacterial infection.
Applying some hot compress on the swollen nodes may help ease your pain and discomfort but never press or squeeze swollen nodes. Consult your doctor immediately if symptoms recur or show no signs of diminishing.

KENTUCKY (6/15/12)—At the age of 69, Patricia Hansen—a Washington state resident and the director of a non-profit group known as Emerald City Lights based out of Seattle–decided take a 97 day nationwide bike ride to shed light on the issue of hunger in America while also raising $50,000 to supply needy families with healthy food.
Since her official departure from Astoria, Oregon on April 1st, Hansen has been biking along stretches of roadway measuring around 50 miles apiece and has covered a total over 2,600 miles in parts of Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and now, Kentucky (a complete map of Hansen's destinations is attached near the end of this article).
After riding a total of 58 miles in Owensboro, KY yesterday, June 14th, Hansen is traveling through parts of Leitchfield today and expects to visit the Mammoth Cave community tomorrow, according to volunteer and Emerald City Lights board member, Michael Dugan. What's more, Hansen will be reaching her final stop in Yorktown, Virginia on July 7th, which also happens to be her 70th birthday.
So why did the Washingtonian woman settle on cycling across the nation and what, specifically, is the ultimate goal of her lengthy trip?
Before becoming the director of Emerald City Lights, Hansen was helping to feed families during the Thanksgiving holiday. During that time, sepcifically the mid-90s, all the foods were donated and there were lots of volunteers. Then, as the years went on, there were fewer families being fed due to the fact that volunteers had to now purchase the foods.
With this in mind, Hansen merged her love of cycling with her passion to help the hungry with the founding of a nonprofit event, the Emerald City Lights Bike Ride, in 2005. With monies raised from community biking and walking fundraising events, Hansen's organization has fed 1,000 Seattle-area families over the past 8 years. Having personally experienced wellness through healthy eating, Hansen and her volunteers create 5-day food baskets filled with organic, natural food, as well as dried soup mixes and Hansen's homemade jams.
"My goal in life is to feed more families each day of the year," Hansen said. "We have people in our own backyards who can't put food on the table. People seem to remember those in need during the holidays, but we need to help each week, each day."
And with tough economic times reaching across the US and beyond, hunger and food insecurity have increased markedly. In fact, USDA research unveils direct data regarding this unfortunate truth, making Hansen's mission that much more pertinent to our times. Some of this research is as follows:
• In 2009, 14.7 percent of 17.4 million U.S. households were food insecure, meaning that at some time during the year, they had difficulty providing enough food for all members due to insufficient resources, the highest level observed since food security surveys were initiated in 1995.
• More families have sought emergency food. Households using food pantries rose by 44 percent from 3.9 to 5.6 million households from 2007 to 2009.
• Over the same period, food pantry use by married-couple families rose 66 percent; multiple-adult households without children, 57 percent; and households located in the Midwest, 65 percent.
While helping to put an end to these statistics, organizers and supporters explain that many of the families who benefit from Emerald City Light's food baskets have been stricken by illnesses, cutting short earning potential and forcing difficult choices between feeding families and buying medicine or seeking medical care.
So, you think you're up for helping Hansen to live out her long held dream of cycling at 70 to feed the need?
For more information, to view Hansen's daily progress through her travel blog, or to donate, please become a fan on Facebook by clicking here or by visiting the official website at http://emeraldcitylights.com.
Emerald City Lights Bike Ride, a 501(c)3 non-profit, charitable and educational organization based in Seattle, is dedicated to providing to those in need. Their goal is to support activities, organizations and programs that work to provide nutrition and general humanitarian aid.
