Use Web of Science Databases for Cited Reference Searching
Run time: 05:22 | Requires Flash Player. | Transcript
(object placeholder)
Welcome to this Information and Library Services tutorial on using Web of Science databases for cited reference searching. This tutorial will take approximately five minutes to review.
The three Web of Science databases that the UMUC library subscribes to are Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Science Citation Index Expanded, and Social Sciences Citation Index.
These databases can be used for cited reference searching -- that is, you can use these databases to find articles that have cited other articles, books, reports, etc.
You may access the library's Web of Science databases by going to the library's home page and then clicking on the "Research Databases" link.
On the Research Databases page, click on the "W" link and then click on "Web of Science."
As with other UMUC library databases, you will need to log in with your last name and either your 7-digit EMPL ID or your 14-digit library barcode number.
From the main Web of Science page, you may then select the database or databases that you wish to search. As you may suspect from their names, Arts & Humanities Citation Index contains citation information for journals in the arts and humanities. Science Citation Index Expanded contains citation information for journals in the hard sciences, such as biology, chemistry, computer science, and math. And Social Sciences Citation Index contains citation information for journals in the social and behavioral sciences, such as education, management, psychology, and sociology.
You may also go straight to the particular Web of Science database that you want to search by clicking on the appropriate link on the library's "Research databases" page.
For the purposes of this demonstration, we will be searching for articles that have cited the article whose APA citation is shown on this slide:
Hofstede, G. (1984). The cultural relativity of the quality of life concept. Academy of Management Review, 9(3), 389-398. Retrieved from http://www.aom.pace.edu/amr/
Because this article is social science-related, we will search in Social Sciences Citation Index for articles that have cited it.
Next, we'll click on the "Cited Reference Search" link at the top of the page.
We can now enter information about the article that we're interested in.
The three pieces of information that we may enter for any document are author's name, source name, and publication year. You don't need to enter all three pieces of information when searching, but it's a good idea to do this if there's a chance that the author whose work you're interested in may have published more than one article in the journal or more than one document in that year.
In this case, we'll start by entering the author's last name. It's a good idea to enter the author's first initial as well, especially if the last name is a common one. It's also recommended that you truncate the author's name by putting an asterisk after the first initial, as we've done in this example. This will account for different ways that the author's name may appear in articles that cited the author's article.
Incidentally, if an article has more than one author, you should just search for the first author's name.
To enter the name of the journal in which the article was published, Academy of Management Review, we'll need to find out how the journal's title is abbreviated in this database, which we can do by clicking on the "journal abbreviation list" link.
If we scroll down the page, we'll see the abbreviation used for the journal.
We can then copy the abbreviation by highlighting it with the mouse, right clicking on it, and selecting "copy."
We can then paste the abbreviation into our search box by right clicking in the search box and then selecting "paste."
Lastly, we'll enter the publication year of the article and then click on "Search."
On the search results page, we see several different entries. This is because we're seeing information about the 129 articles that correctly cited the article that we're interested in as well as information about the seven articles that didn't cite it correctly.
As you may recall, the article that we're looking for was published in volume 9 of the journal, but you can see here that three authors cited the article without listing a volume number for it and that four authors cited it and listed volume 27 instead of volume 9. The Web of Science databases refer to these incorrect citations as cited reference variants.
To see a list of all of the articles that cited the article that we're interested in, we can click on the "Select All" button and then click on the "Finish Search" button.
We'll then see a list of all of the articles that cited the article we're interested in and that also have information available in this Web of Science database.
Because the Web of Science databases are citation databases rather than full-text databases, we won't see a link for the full text of any of the articles, but we can click on the Find It button to search for the full text of an article in other UMUC library databases.
In this case, for example, full text of the article is available from two other UMUC library databases, and we can click on the link for any of these databases to be taken to the database, where we can access the full-text article.
If you have any questions about how to use the Web of Science databases, please visit the library's Web site and use the "Ask a Librarian" options to contact us.
Thank you for viewing this tutorial!

Montana motorcyclist killed in U.S. 17 crash
Published: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 4:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at 4:13 p.m.
This is a corrected version of the story. In the original, the victim's state of residence was listed incorrectly.
A Montana motorcyclist was killed Wednesday morning in a two-vehicle crash on U.S. 17 near in Bolivia, according to the N.C. Highway Patrol.
Carlton Scott Covington, 33, died after the 10:30 a.m. crash near Mill Creek Road.
Covington was northbound on U.S. 17 when a Ford F250 pickup truck driven by Marjorie Ann Clark, 64, pulled out from Mill Creek Road into his path, said Trooper D.C. Pridgen,
Covington's 2005 Harley Davidson T-boned the truck, Pridgen said.
"She just didn't see him," Pridgen said.
Clark, of Wilmington, is charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle, Pridgen said.
Covington, who was in the area visiting his mother who lives in Supply, died at the hospital, Pridgen said.

EU carbon "backloading" decision at odds with evidence of low carbon economy
- Date
- 16 April 2013
LONDON: Today the European Parliament voted to reject plans to delay the auctioning of carbon allowances in the EU Emissions Trading System, a move The Climate Group CEO Mark Kenber calls a 'missed opportunity' which is at odds with the evidence of a low carbon economy.
MEPs votes were a narrow 334 to 315 against the "backloading" proposals from the European Commission, which were designed to boost the carbon price as well as to underpin and strengthen confidence in clean technology investment. As a result the carbon price has fallen from €4.3 per ton of CO2 to €1.70.
In an EU press release, Connie Hedegaard, European Commissioner for Climate Action said: ''The Commission of course regrets that the European Parliament has not approved the back-loading proposal. However, it is worth noting than when it was suggested in the second vote that the Parliament finalised its rejection right away, this was not supported. The proposal will now go back to the Parliament's Environment Committee for further consideration.
"Europe needs a robust carbon market to meet our climate targets and spur innovation. The Commission remains convinced that back-loading would help restore confidence in the EU ETS in the short term until we decide on more structural measures. We will now reflect on the next steps to ensure that Europe has strong EU ETS. In doing so the Council's position on the proposal will be an important factor and I take note of the Irish Presidency's reaction today to urgently pursue and conclude discussions among Member States. The market, the investors and our international partners are all awaiting.''
Mark Kenber, CEO, The Climate Group commented: "EU parliamentarians have missed an opportunity to reaffirm their climate leadership and strengthen the signal that low carbon business represents the future of the region's economy.
"A robust carbon price is a key part of any comprehensive framework for reducing emissions cost effectively and avoiding the worst impacts of climate change.
"Today's decision is clearly at odds with the evidence that investment in clean energy, technology and sustainable business practices produces superior returns and is the cornerstone of a prosperous European economy."

Sara Hawkins of Phoenix is a 42-year-old mother of one and a lawyer-turned-blogger who's starting to speak on panels and doesn't know what to wear (she called herself a "fashion disaster").
Dear Sara (a.k.a Fashion Disaster),
Boy do I feel your pain. Public speaking is stressful, but eliminating the worry over what you're wearing will help a lot. I don't need to turn you into a fashion diva, but for sure I can erase the fashion DISASTER scenario you're playing over in your head.
-You want to be comfortable and dress like yourself, only you want to be a little more polished. You may love Birkenstocks in your day-to-day life, but now's not the time (as my mother used to say, you don't have to be THAT comfortable). It also means you need to do your hair, wear a little make up, and put on some sort of lipstick/gloss. This is non-negotiable.
-As for clothes, wear color! Most importantly, wear color around your face, as it will draw attention to what you're saying. If you insist on wearing a dark hue, navy blue is better than black (it won't absorb light quite as much). Avoid overly intricate prints (like large florals), but a small graphic print (narrow stripe, small polka dot) is a nice accent, even if you just do it in an accessory like a scarf.
-I do think a jacket is most polished—but you don't have to wear a "suit." Gray slacks topped with, say, a jacket in a color (whatever flatters your skin tone) would work. A jacket over a sheath/dress would work, too.
-Avoid clothes that are too big or too small, and avoid anything overly complicated (lots of fabric, unusual closures, etc.) as it distracts. Clothes that are fitted to the body (without puling or clinging, of course), will look better when viewed from the audience.
-Make sure you choose the right undergarments—you want your clothes to lie flat, and to appear opaque (lights make every fabric look more sheer. When in doubt, add a slip!)
-Stay away from any jewelry or accessories that make noise, like an armload of bangles or layers of twinkling beads around your neck. Just like wind chimes it's pretty, but annoying.
Go! Buy! Be Chic!
Yours in style,
Susan Swimmer

Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MCoulther Love these necklaces! I bought them to ask my friends to be my Bridesmaids! The leaves are so gorgeous and unique, everyone loves them! Great Quality, Great Price, can't beat it! October 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GreenThumb Unique, simple statement necklace I bought this in store, and I suggest doing likewise if at all possible. I compared 10+ necklaces in the store, and each leaf varied dramatically in size and shape. The length of each leaf varied by 1/2" to 1" - that's a lot! The width of each leaf varied by 1/4" to 3/4". And of course the shape of each leaf was unique and different. Some leaves are more evenly rounded, as in the online photo, while others were more elongated. In my opinion, some necklaces were more flattering than others, based on their length, width, and shape. The necklace I bought had a leaf measuring 2 7/8" in length, almost 3". As the other reviewers have stated, 3" is a larger pendant, so I suggest looking at a tape measure before ordering online. The pendants in store on average measured from 2.25" to 3.5". I think mine, at 3 inches, is the perfect size for a long, pendant necklace. I usually avoid large jewelry because I appreciate simple designs. I avoid gaudy or loud jewelry. Even though this pendant is 3" long, its nature-inspired design, intricate transparent filling, delicate shape and elongated edges make it simple, understated, and elegant. I have received many compliments on this necklace. It pairs well with many outfits and colors, and it's the perfect fall accessory. I highly recommend it! November 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Scaper Great detail Enjoyed the necklace but was disappointed in the size of the leaf, as shown in your picture it is smaller than the actual size of the leaf. Alot bigger than the picture. August 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by alicesmom Beautiful Necklace Exactly what I was looking for, and a great price! August 6, 2013

ZF-4260: If zend_form_element_file is validated, and whole form isnt, the file is still uploaded to the dir
Like in topic,
when we have a form with some validators, and the form doesnt validate, but file element validates, we end up with file being uploaded to the target dir, this is not expected behaviour, it leads to "orphaned" files if someone forgets to delete the file explictly.
ZF-4062 is the real issue here.
First off, the file upload will happen regardless of what we do; for us to get the request in the first place, the file has to have been transferred in the request. By default, however, files are uploaded to a system temporary directory (this is something PHP does, not ZF). It is up to you to run garbage collection over that directory periodically.
However, there is an additional piece of the puzzle we need to address. One of the validators actually does introspection over the $_FILES superglobal; a file element is not considered valid unless the entry for the file in $_FILES shows no errors. However, at this time, if that validator passes, then the file is transferred to its final resting place.
Thomas is working on decoupling the validation from the filtering withing Zend_File_Transfer and the File form element, and we will have a solution soon
Assigning to Thomas (close with ZF-4062)
No bug. New feature has been implemented with r11391.
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

My list is growing.
And it's entirely a Freudian slip that the first time I typed that, it said, "My list is groaning."
I know everyone thinks that I have one of the best jobs in the world. Reviewing restaurants is a fantasy job for a lot of people. And it is, for them, a fantasy job. That is, the job they think I have is a fantasy. The reality gets a little tiresome. I love food, but sometimes the amount and number of times I have to dine out outpaces my attention span.
Especially, when, like right now, I have so many restaurants I need to visit or revisit.
So here's my proposal: Why don't you guys help me out? Like people help out Tim and Nina Zagat?
These are the places I am supposed to go to sometimes in the next 96 hours. Why don't you visit them and let me know what you think? And I'll quote you.
Jack's Wood Fired Oven They say it's yet another great new pizza place. 256 N. Main, Logan, 435-754-7523
Pipa: Asian Tapas and Sake Bar I hear the cocktails are cool and it's on the West Side, so that's interesting. 900 W. North Temple, SLC, 801-326-3639
Goldener Hirsch The very talented Chef Michael Showers has a new menu. 7570 Royal St., Park City, 435-649-7770
Grappa Grappa has a new chef and a new menu-I need to see what that Bill White group is up to these days. 151 Main St. Park City, 435-645-0636
Oasis Chef Billy Sotelo, formerly of Fresco, just introduced a new menu. 151 S. 500 East, SLC, 801-322-0404
The menu focuses on a different region of Italy each month; right now it's Lazio, the area around Rome. Plus, Chef Elio Scanu just opened a new Italian deli in conjunction with the restaurant. 1479 E. 5600 South, South Ogden, 801-475-7077Spoony & Nata's Down Home Cafe They say they serve Southern Louisiana and New Orleans food-I like their geographic specificity.) 1810 S. Main St., SLC, 801-467-0400

from reading old threads tonight and thinking. pd is doomed. it's a shadow of its former self. i don't much like what co[s]mo has become either. we're all great posters ( mostly ) but the atmosphere of superiority and self-investment in both forums destroys them, ( as well as the continuous haunting of history's shadow ).
so how do we... post in peace? return to just having a good time? because no matter who you are, whether you were here for the 'golden age' of pd or the summer '10 of co[s]mo or anything else, you remember one or maybe even a few bright beautiful forum moments where every thread was funny and everything was active and everyone was nice to post with - that's why you're still here or on co[s]mo... you foolishly believe there's a way to return to that sort of world.
the truth is, there isn't... at least not via ourselves. we're too old, we have too many responsibilities in real life to do anything like single-handedly rebuild a forum. and the ones who do have the spare time? they're just not capable of the job.
no, the only thing that can give us what we want, even if only temporary, is if we were to find a new board and post there. it's not a raid i'm proposing, i'm actually going full grade hypocrite right now; going against everything i've ever said: let's migrate.

This text, ostensibly the autobiography of Portugese explorer Fernão Mendes Pinto, came second only to Marco Polo's work in exciting Europe's imagination of the Orient. Chronicling adventures from Ethiopia to Japan, Travels covers twenty years of Mendes Pinto's odyssey as a soldier, a merchant, a diplomat, a slave, a pirate, and a missionary, and continues to overwhelm questions about its source with the sheer enjoyment of its narrative."[T]here is plenty here for the modern reader. . . . The vivid descriptions of swashbuckling military campaigns and exotic locations make this a great adventure story. . . . Mendes Pinto may have been a sensitive eyewitness, or a great liar, or a brilliant satirist, but he was certainly more than a simple storyteller."-Stuart Schwartz, The New York Times

What's your passion?
I'm pursuing my visual art and have published a new book of black-and-white ink and acrylic paintings called Seventy Two, inspired by the 72 names of God.
How do you stay centered?
I meditate twice a day and try to be grateful for the things I have and the people in my life.
Back to school
I play a public school guidance counselor in the new movie Detachment. She's trying to do the best she can, but she gets to the point where she doesn't know how to care. I attended public schools all my life. There is a struggle in the system that makes it difficult for quality people to stay.
Learning to say no
It's not about rejecting anything; it's about prioritizing. I think, I'm not going to do this, because I'm going to do that instead. And you hope the "instead" is a happier option.
Learning to say yes
It's amazing how we can't take a compliment. I say to someone, "Oh, you look so beautiful," and they're like, "No, I'm tired and I ate blah, blah, blah last night." They could just say, "Thank you!"
Traveling for the U.N.
As a Goodwill Ambassador, I am shocked by the poverty around the world. Outside the U.S. and Europe, there's not much gender equality, and there are a lot of places where children are used as soldiers and sex slaves.
Playing a Southland cop
When I shadowed real cops to prepare for the role, I learned to be aware. Being a good cop is all about seeing details, such as a new bit of graffiti on a wall, which might indicate a new gang is operating there.

When thinking about purchasing hearing aids, there are numerous factors to consider during your visit with a hearing healthcare professional. What type and style do you need? How does it fit? How much does it cost? Are there options for payment help? How do others review this hearing aid and how does it compare to others? Are they easy to clean? Are they easy to repair? What accessories are needed?
Types and styles of hearing aids
All hearing aids contain one or more microphones to pick up sound, a processor that amplifies and processes sound, a receiver or speaker that sends the signal into your ear and a battery for a power source. The big decision you make when purchasing is related to the style of hearing aids.
While hearing aids can be split into two broad categories – in-the-ear styles (ITE) and behind-the-ear styles (BTE) – there are several types available worn in different locations in or behind the ear, allowing the wearer to find the most comfortable and beneficial fit.
The following hearing aid types are considered in-the-ear styles and vary from completely invisible and in the canal to on the outer edge of the ear bowl:
- Invisible in the canal (IIC): IIC styles are the tiniest hearing aids made. They fit very deeply in the ear canal and are typically fit for mild or moderate hearing losses and offer high cosmetic appeal as they're nearly invisible when worn.
- In the canal (ITC): ITC hearing aids sit in the lower portion of the outer ear bowl, making them comfortable and easy to use. Because they're slightly larger than IIC and CIC styles, they have a longer battery life and can fit a wider range of hearing losses.
- Low profile: Low profile instruments range from half shell designs that fill half the bowl of the outer ear to designs that fill almost the entire outer ear bowl. The size of a low profile style makes it desirable for people with dexterity issues because it is easier to handle than the smaller sizes.
If an in-the-ear hearing device isn't suitable or desired by a patient, there also are numerous behind-the-ear styles available, including:
- Mini BTE with slim tube and tip: Mini BTE styles are designed to hide behind the outer ear and have ultra-thin tubing to discreetly route sound into the ear. This style is so popular that more occluding ear tips have become available in order to accommodate a greater degree of hearing loss with the mini BTE.
- Receiver in the ear (RITE): RITE hearing aid styles are mini BTEs that have the speaker built into the ear tip instead of the main body of the hearing aid. This allows the speaker of the hearing aid to rest in the ear canal, but the microphone and processor sit in a tiny case behind the ear.
- BTE with earmold: BTE styles that come with earmolds can fit any type of hearing loss, from mild to profound. Their longer shape follows the contour behind the outer ear and can generally house more features, controls and power than any other style of hearing aid.
Hearing aid technology
Because hearing aids today are digital and programmable, the amplification can be fine-tuned and tailored for each wearer. Basic hearing aids usually require some manual adjustments depending on the type and degree of loss experienced by a person. Basic hearing aids allow for some customization, but are limited in the amount of adjustments to fit unusual patterns of hearing loss. Advanced hearing aids offer several different levels of technology. As the level of technology increases, hearing devices are more automatic, equipped with more features and allow for a more-personal experience.
The hearing aids produced today utilize wireless technology. This allows two hearing aids to operate together as one complete system, instead of acting as two independent devices. Additionally, wireless technology gives hearing aid users a greater ability to customize their experience and program their device.
Wireless hearing aids are often capable of wirelessly communicating with external devices as well, such as Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth enables hearing aid wearers to connect personal electronic devices and stream signals directly to the hearing aid. Wireless hearing aids can use compatible assistive listening devices, often called streamers, to provide a communication link between the wireless technology in the hearing aids and any Bluetooth-enabled device.
Healthy Hearing answers: Where can I buy cheap hearing aids?
Hearing aid fitting
Because hearing aids are such a specific, personalized piece of technology, not every brand or style of device will be suitable for everyone. This can make comparing and reviewing hearing aids difficult. It's best to talk to your hearing healthcare provider about what options and features are ideal for your particular loss.
Hearing healthcare professionals will perform an initial fitting where they fine tune features and adjust levels to ensure the hearing aid wearer is getting the most out of the device. It is important to note there is an adjustment period when wearing a new device; in order to get used to the new aid a user should follow the hearing healthcare professional's instructions. A hearing aid shouldn't be painful; if an individual is experiencing pain they should contact their provider immediately.
Hearing aid pricing
Hearing aids are tiny pieces of technology, which can be described as tiny computers for your ears. Because of the technology hearing aids require to operate, they generally cost anywhere from a $800 to $4,000 per ear. Hearing aids can vary from basic, with few customizable features to advanced, which offer more personalization, accounting for the cost variance.
Depending upon the individual, there may be some assistance programs available. If eligible, the American Association of Retired Persons offers a hearing aid program with consultation, devices and batteries at a discount. While Medicare generally doesn't cover hearing aids, some advantage plans in certain states offer some coverage on consultations or the initial purchase. The Veterans Administration offers consultation, hearing device purchase and follow-up appointments at no cost to applicable veterans. Contact these organizations to find out if you are eligible for any programs.
Hearing aid insurance
While many individuals pay out of pocket for their hearing devices, it's good practice to discuss any coverage options with your insurance provider. Most plans have a toll free number for member services listed on the insurance card. Insurance coverage for hearing aids, when provided, can come in many forms, from a certain percentage of total hearing aid cost to covering the initial consultation with a hearing healthcare practitioner.
Many states have passed legislation requiring insurance carriers to offer coverage for certain individuals and children. Check with your provider regarding their policy.
Hearing aid upkeep
While many hearing healthcare professionals offer hearing device cleaning at no cost, it's good practice to follow at home. For daily upkeep, use a dry cloth or tissue daily to remove any dust, earwax or moisture from your device. This allows the hearing aid user to be more aware of the condition the hearing aid is in and how well it's functioning.
From time to time, it's possible a hearing aid might need some repairs. While many problems can be easy to troubleshoot at home, if the user begins hearing an increased amount of static or feedback, finds the volume is going in and out or experiences any other general interference it would be a good time to take the aid into the hearing center for diagnosis. Also, if the device is running through batteries more frequently or if any parts or tubes become dislodged, it's important to allow a hearing healthcare professional to look at the device.
Hearing aid accessories
Once an individual has purchased and selected a hearing aid, it's a good idea to consider any accessories that might be desired or needed. Accessories can range from basic to more advanced and are available depending upon what device a hearing aid wearer uses. All hearing aids require batteries, so it's important to know what size is needed for a particular device.
Additionally, cleaning tools, Bluetooth-capable technology and hearing aid dehumidifiers are accessories which often complement devices.

ZF-9685: Call to undefined method Zend_Http_Client::close()
Zend_Http_Client _openTempStream() calls "$this->close". But, it is not undefiend.
So errors occurred. "Fatal error: Call to undefined method Zend_Http_Client::close() in /usr/share/php/Zend/Http/Client.php on line 915"
Is this not "$this->getAdapter()->close()" ?
added a close() method in the Zend_Http_Client class, including some tests
Re-did fix to call $this->adapter->close() instead, removed the newly-added close() method. Other than that all other modifications and unit tests by DragonBE were kept (thanks!)

The film program provides highly motivated and talented students with intensive training in all aspects of filmmaking. Students develop significant skills in directing, cinematography, editing, production, scriptwriting, and film analysis. By the end of the sophomore year, students consult with the film faculty and choose to focus on either fiction, documentary, or experimental film in their junior year.
The primary emphasis of the BFA program is on directing. At the end of the junior year, however, film majors who have demonstrated exceptional talent in cinematography or screenwriting have the option of specializing in those areas, subject to approval by the board of study. The board's decision is based on demonstration of the student's technical and artistic proficiency.
Film majors enjoy a high equipment-to-student ratio and have access to a fully equipped sound stage, mix studio, equipment store, screening rooms, and digital editing studios.
About Our Alumni
More than 85 percent of film program alumni have found work in the film and television industries. Here are a few of our representative alumni:

Four years ago today, Fred Hoiberg was hired as Iowa State's basketball coach. I remember that day vividly. Here is my story. I'm hoping that after reading it, you all will tell yours.
Twitter: @ChrisMWilliams
Facebook: Cyclone Fanatic
My first thought was AWESOME! My 2nd thought was, "How would you ever fire Fred Hoiberg."
Good time to link this thread;
When McD was hired I lamented in my belief that he wasn't Big 12 ready and we'd have to fire a native son.
I thought Hoiberg was a home run, but not to the extent he's turned into. He's going to make ISU "Duke-like"...
And just to be clear about my prognostication skills, I really thought Chizik was the real deal...
ISU fans are the greatest in the world. All they ask for is hope and the belief that we have a chance to win every time we step on the field - Johnny Majors (paraphrased)
Ya gotta have the horses, man - Johnny Orr.
Is there anywhere I can listen to this Walters-Perrault debate at? Sounds legendary.
I think you trust your first gut instincts. I was totally against Gmac getting hired, after the speculation leading up to the announcement. I warmed up to him after his press conference here. My initial gut feeling was correct however (nice guy though)
I didn't have that trepidation when Fred was hired. Was willing to give him 3-4 years to right the ship, so Fred has been a fantastic hire in retrospect
I was really excited by his hire.
But then again, I was excited by the hire of Chizik.
What do I know?
"Politics: Poli a Latin word meaning many; and "tics" meaning bloodsucking creatures." ~Robin Williams
I'm not gonna lie, I didn't follow ISU much in High School mainly because I hadn't fully decided where I was going to go at that point of his hiring. But my initial thoughts were, well at least they have an attractive coach.
Honestly at first, much like many, I was very skeptical. Everyone loves Fred, but the man had never coached before. I had my doubts, but I thought Fred might be able to win some games and he could get the fan support back into Ames. Everything Fred has done is already beyond my wildest dreams. Fred is turning Iowa State into a brand name nationally, and has done it in a very short amount of time. There will be a statue of Fred outside of Hilton Coliseum someday.
I wasn't sure what to think until I heard Fred speak at the press conference. I was sold at that point. Then the Ames channel 8 news reporter interviewed me about what I thought and put my thoughts on tv.
All in for hoiberg
Wow. We have come a long way baby. I remember being shocked and dazed by the news but thrilled all the same. Never doubted he would be a success but never dreamed it would come so quickly.
Curious what the top traffic days for this site were for and why?
I thought he'd be successful if he found ways to recruit and if he hired a strong staff. His recruiting has been great and as a general rule he's had a strong backbone both from a recruiting standpoint and a coaching standpoint.

Non-degree students enrolling for courses on an audit-only basis generally pay a reduced fee. Wisconsin residents who are disabled and receiving federal old-age survivors and disability insurance benefits (OASDI) may audit courses without charge if this will not result in additional laboratory or instructional costs. Students combining audit credits and regular credits pay regular tuition and fees for all the credits, including those audited.

Company Who Recalled Bad Beef Was Warned Before!
Last week, a meat processor recalled over 800,000 pounds of beef due to salmonella. And now, a new report accuses the company of dragging unconscious cattle, which can raise cows' risk of contracting E. coli and salmonella.
Records show the company was also slapped with an animal handling citation last year after US Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspectors found workers at the Fresno plant were using electric prods to cajole cattle through a narrow chute prior to slaughter. The visit, carried out in March 2008, followed in the wake of the biggest beef recall in US history that was linked to a separate Californian slaughter facility.
The company, a subsidiary of Cargill, was admonished after three cows were stunned when they refused to move "so that they could be pulled through the restrainer to be shackled, hung and bled," said the USDA report.
Under USDA regulations, use of a cattle prod is considered humane when used properly on walking animals. It is understood that dragging unconscious cattle could increase the risk of animals contracting salmonella and E.coli as cow hides can pick up bacteria from feces than can collect around the chute.
This shouldn't surprise you. Food producers cut corners all the time. That peanut butter scare in January, turns out the guilty company had been scolded for mildew before the recall.

County Council President elect Dr. Chris Bullock will be sworn into office Tuesday at 5 p.m.
Bullock, who is also the founder and pastor at the Canaan Baptist Church of New Castle, will begin his new role at County Council's bi-weekly meeting at 7 p.m. Nov. 13.
"I plan on being a president that cooperates with my colleagues," Bullock said. "I will take care of the business of the people. After four years, you will see positive changes in the county because of our leadership."
On Nov. 6, Bullock defeated Republican Mike Protack in the general elections by a landslide margin.
As New Castle County Council President, Bullock said that he plans on sponsoring and supporting legislation that will improve the quality of life for citizens.
He plans on addressed land use, economic development, and public safety issues.
Bullock wants to focus on public safety and wants to shift the county's crime prevention methods.
"We are fortunate enough to have an outstanding county police department, and I want to help them continue to be the best in the region," he said. "There will be a shift in crime prevention and outreach involving young people."
Crime in New Castle County is not only in the city of Wilmington, Bullock said.
"Public safety is high on the list. There are unlawful activities in the county going on with drug dealing, prostitution, and loitering. There are a number of issues that need to be addressed."

ZF-8594: Zend_Controller_Router_Rewrite doesn't throw an exception when not route matches
In the interface definition of the router it is stated that an exception should be thrown when no route matches the request. Instead it is currently simply ignored, which leads the request to the default controller/action, instead of going to the error controller which could emit a 404 error then. This can surely only happen, when the default module route was removed, which is intendend when you only want your own routes to match to avoid duplicate content for search engines.
I've attached a patch for this issue, but there's a problem. By applying this patch, the following two tests in Zend_Controller_Router_RewriteTest are breaking:
testRouteNotMatches: Expects the route() method to return an unchanged request object, which has NULL as controller, action and module set. This will lead the front controller to dispatch the standard parameters (default/index/index), which is the actual issue we want to solve tho. So rewriting this test would actually be the test for the new (correct) behaviour.
testRemoveDefaultRoutes: This one doesn't like that much like a problem, since the routing is not tested at all here, while there's still a not-tested call done to the route() method (which would usually add a default route if not disabled). This means we would just have to wrap a try {} around the route() call, and the test would suceed again. This shouldn't affect reallife applications, since there will never be no routes, and if, they should lead to the error controller.
Attached new patch which solves the problem with front controller and error handler plugin.
Assigned to Matthew for review.
Well, the assumption is incorrect.
I've used the default route in a chain, and that stopped working now.
Either this fix is wrong, since the old behaviour was actually just like I expected it to work, or my approach is wrong and can be achieved otherwise. Maybe force default values to the 'default' route.
Peter, can you please tell, how exacly your chain setup looked (code?). The changes of this issue should not have affected stuff like you show here.
Yeah, based on the initial 'bug' and fix I also thought this would not affect stuff. However (and my chain is rather simple) it appears to influence some behaviour (maybe the problem lies within the incorrect chaining of the 'default' route... either way, below the code that fails (two methods to create the default route chained behind my own initial route included, both fail)
Maybe the matching algorithm of a default route doesn't return that it matched anything when chained this way??
// *************
$router = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRouter();
// Create a very simple DB route that just matches the first part
$route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':db');
// Create the 'default' route, it needs the dispatcher to function
$default = new Zend_Controller_Router_Rewrite();
$default = $default->addDefaultRoutes()->getRoute('default');
//Other method to create the default route (neither works)
$request = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest();
$dispatcher = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getDispatcher();
//$dispatcher = null;
$default = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module(array(), $dispatcher, $request);
// Create a chained route which should match http://foo.bar/basePath/DBVARIABLE[/…....]
$chain = $route->chain($default);
$router->addRoute('default', $chain);
// *************
// THE CREATION OF THE ROUTE ENDS HERE, however we continue below with some other init stuff
There already is a unittest covering exacly your example (tho using a static route, not a segment route):
Even modified to use a segment route instead it still passes, so it is most likely a problem with your setup. For further help, please ask in irc (freenode, #zftalk) or on the mailing list.
Ah, using Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module() instead of extracting the 'default' works like it should. Next time I'll take a look at the unit tests first...
Although I'd still call it an regression issue :D
Hmm, I might have been a bit too optimistic about this... Still experiencing problems, I forgot to revert the quickfix I had done so it wouldn't throw the error.
I'll get back on this one.
The problem already existed in Chain but surfaced due to this fix. I've created a new issue for this one; ZF-9030

In the two decades after the release of their first album, Boy, U2 established itself as one of the most adventurous and groundbreaking bands in the history of rock and roll. U2 evolved from a virtually unknown, punk-influenced group of young Dubliners into a band that sells millions of albums and fills sports stadiums around the world. They achieved the rare feat of being both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. They have always followed their own muse, never bowing to trends or popular tastes. Their membership has remained consistent from the start. Their legions of fans are passionate, and so is their music.
In the Name of Love: Two Decades of U2 examined U2's journey to the top, beginning with the group's formation at a Dublin high school in the late Seventies. The opening section of the exhibit included such rare artifacts as the first U2 T-shirt (made in a school art class), a bio of the Hype (one of the band's early names), rejection letters from two record companies, a trophy from a 1978 battle of the bands, lead singer Bono's first guitar, and numerous posters and flyers from early club shows in and around Dublin.
While U2 was revered by critics virtually from the start, it wasn't until their third album, 1983's War, that they began to make commercial inroads. That album went to Number One in Britain and earned a gold record in America. War and U2's next studio recording, The Unforgettable Fire, also cemented U2's reputation as a politically conscious band, with such songs as "Sunday Bloody Sunday," about the strife in Northern Ireland, and "Pride (In the Name of Love)," about Martin Luther King, Jr. Among the artifacts related to this period were various tour itineraries and tour programs, Larry Mullen's drum set and Bono's "War" T-shirt.
With 1987's The Joshua Tree, U2 entered the pop stratosphere. Two songs from the album, "With or Without You" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," reached Number One. The group won Grammys for Album of the Year and Best Rock Performance. The group's follow-up album, Achtung Baby, was another commercial success; it reached Number One and included the hits "One," "Mysterious Ways," "Even Better than the Real Thing" and "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses." With their 1992 Zoo TV Tour, U2 unleashed an extravagant stage show, during which Bono adopted a series of personas, such as the leather-clad Fly and the demonic MacPhisto. In the Name of Love: Two Decades of U2 included costumes from the Zoo TV Tour, as well as from subsequent tours, like 1997's PopMart Tour. In total, the exhibit included nearly 20 full outfits, plus jackets, shirts, hats and other clothing. Other artifacts included schematics and drawings of various stage sets and an architectural model of the Pop Mart set. In addition to these materials, In the Name of Love: Two Decades of U2 included production notes from Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, producers who have worked with U2 for more than a decade; original lyrics from Bono; a draft of "The Ground Beneath Her Feet," written by author Salman Rushdie; animation cels from the "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" video; numerous promotional items from throughout U2's career and other pieces of correspondence, notes, etc.
"We've been visiting the Rock Hall for three years, about two times per year. Your displays are fabulous and we learn something new each time we're here...It's even allowing us to teach our 9-year-old son about all music...So do we think it's worth a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Dayton, Ohio in the pouring rain? You bet! Rock on." "Wow - This is the music of our lives. This place is awesome - extremely impressive. We grew up on Alan Freed, Bandstand and Cousin Brucie. Keep up the good work - we'll be back."

Thomasville pediatricians' office passes out books
Published: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 4:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 4:02 p.m.
THOMASVILLE | Can you imagine what a 6-month-old baby will do when given a book?
want to find out more?
To learn more about Reach Out and Read, go to www.rorcarolinas.org or call 828-290-9049.
Of course the newborn is not able to read it. Even if the child places the book in the mouth or just holds it, he or she becomes introduced to literacy through that simple interaction, a nonprofit organization believes.
Thomasville Pediatrics is the only doctors' office in the county that is a part of Reach Out and Read, which prepares children to succeed in school by partnering with pediatricians, nurse practitioners and other medical professionals to encourage families to read.
"It's an incredible program," said Dr. Diana Roberson, a pediatrician with Thomasville Pediatrics. "We're trying to introduce books early. The kids love it. Having them ask 'am I going to get a book today?' is a sign of success. We are getting kids excited about reading. I wish every pediatrician practice would offer the program."
When patients go for their yearly routine visit to the doctor, they receive a new free book from a pediatrician in the exam room. The program is geared for 6-month-olds to 5-year-olds.
Parents are encouraged to read regularly with their children with the age-appropriate books during the developmental years, Roberson emphasized, which is also the most important time for a child to learn. Books and reading posters are in the waiting room at the office as well.
"We talk with parents about literary," Roberson said. "We encourage them to make (reading) part of their daily routine. Once it becomes a love of that child it's easier. Just talking about the pictures and creating that interaction makes a big difference."
Thomasville Pediatrics has been a part of the North and South Carolina Reach Out and Read for the past eight years. On the state level, the organization serves more than 136,000 children in 153 clinics.
"As a community we're interested in a healthy body and mind," said Callee Boulware, executive director of Reach Out and Read Carolinas. "We're really hoping to educate parents about why it's such an important thing. They get the message every time and take books home to enjoy. It teaches parents you are your child's most important educator."
The program also targets low-income communities. Statistics state 21 percent of children in Davidson County live in poverty, according to a news release.
Thomasville Pediatrics gives out 5,000 to 6,000 books a year. Roberson noted that the patients receive around eight books apiece. Some of the books are bilingual because 15 percent of the patients speak Spanish. Between the Thomasville and Archdale-Trinity Pediatrics offices they give 8,000 books away a year.
The doctors' offices receive some support from the state level. They mainly have community sponsors and contributions from organizations. Book drives and donations of gently used books help sustain the program, too. Statewide the cost is about $1.4 million with $25,000 used for Davidson County.
When there's not enough money to purchase the books, Roberson said, the offices purchase them because they believe in the program.
"We're always looking for people in the community to support us," Roberson said. "All of the physicians here feel strongly about it. If we don't have enough support, we will fund it ourself."
Boulware said everything is evidence-based that it helps prepare youths for entering school. The program was created to fill in the gap of child literacy by focusing on communities where children may not have access to books.
"We must start in the home with parents. It's essential to their (children's) healthy development," she said.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Simon Bayliss cuts through the "cacophony of visual noise" and writes about some painting highlights from the 2012 Frieze Art Fair in London.
Bayliss calls out works by Kevin Cosgrove, Peter Peri, Ellen Gronemeyer, Robert Overby, and 17th century master Margareta de Heer, "paintings which seemed curiously unaligned to the usually manicured algorithms of established gallery art. A commonality is that these works are layered with meaning, and not every layer makes sense. There are paradoxes and ironies, triumphs and failures, and intentional or not these aspects plumb depths, and thus the work hums to a different, more enlightening tune."
Edited by artist Brett Baker, Painters' Table highlights writing from the painting blogosphere as it is published and serves as a platform for exploring blogs that focus primarily on the subject of painting.

The year will soon be new, but the problem is definitely old: You want to get healthier in 2012, but that means increasing the amount of time you exercise—ideally, fitting at least the standard workout prescription (30 minutes a day, five days a week) into your crazy schedule. Turns out you don't have to. A number of new studies show that you can significantly upgrade your health by working out for less time than is typically recommended. "Experts used to think you had to do a minimum intensity or volume of exercise to get health benefits or improve your fitness, but that may not always be true," says Carol Ewing Garber, PhD, associate professor of movement sciences at Columbia University. For instance, in a recent Taiwanese study, researchers found that doing just 15 minutes of daily physical activity cuts your risk of dying over the next eight years by 14 percent and could help you live three additional years.
If exercise time is hard to find, here's what you can accomplish in a few spare moments.
Time | 12 minutes
What | Any moderate-intensity cardio exercise (for example, climbing stairs)
Frequency | Five days a week
Result | Lowers risk of stroke and heart attack by 27 percent
You already know that aerobic activity reduces "bad" cholesterol, raises "good" cholesterol, moderates blood pressure and improves circulation. But the big surprise is how little exercise it takes for you to attain cardiovascular benefits. In a review of two decades of data on 27,055 female health professionals ages 45 to 90, researchers found that doing just an hour of moderate cardio exercise (such as biking) each week decreased a woman's risk for heart disease, stroke, heart attack, coronary bypass operations and death by 27 percent. "A lot of the benefit came through lowered levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation, rather than through changes in body mass index," says the study's lead author, cardiologist Samia Mora, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. You can make the one-hour-per-week prescription more manageable by dividing it into 12-minute sessions you do on each of the five workdays.
Time | 2 minutes
What | Resistance-band exercise
Frequency | Five days a week
Result | Cuts muscle pain by 37 percent and headaches by 43 percent
Many women feel a burning and tightness across their necks and shoulders after they've spent hours hunched over a keyboard or steering wheel. Now there's an easy way to find relief, says a new study in the journal Pain. In a 10-week experiment, one set of office-based employees who suffered ongoing upper-body aches performed a routine with resistance bands for two minutes each workday. At the end of the study, the band users experienced 37 percent less neck and shoulder pain than the nonexercising control group. The exercising subjects' headaches, possibly caused by their muscle pain, dropped 43 percent.Why did the strength training work? "Exercise increases blood flow and oxygen to your muscles, which makes them feel less achy and tired," says Lars Andersen, PhD, a senior researcher at the National Research Centre for the Working Environment in Copenhagen. For a demo of the resistance-band series used in the study, go to more.com/painbuster.
Time | 20 minutes
What | Any vigorous exercise
Frequency | As needed
Result | Increases blood flow to genitals by about 50 percent

Item has a Minimum Qty
30% of body heat during swimming is lost through the head, that's why you need this insulated swim cap from Barracuda Insulated Swim Cap.
Barracuda Swim cap
It helps keep me warmer in the pool. It is comfortable to wear. Easy to put on and take off. If the strap is undone, then it a little difficult to get it through the loop again. If you are wearing this cap be aware your hearing is greatly reduced. It is such an issue to me that I wear it with the strap undone so I can hear. I am in a water aerobic class and it is important to hear the instructor. It could also be a safety issue, so just be aware. It is well made. Heavier rubber material and a nylon inner lining.

Great Swim Cap
I swim laps three times a week with this cap. I bought a large based on previous reviews. I think my head is normal-sized and I think the medium would fit a little better, but I am totally happy with the cap. It keeps my hair covered and my ears covered, although a little water seeps in. The strap works fine and keeps the cap on my head. I would definitely purchase this again. I wish it came in other colors.
Imperial, MO
XL swim cap
This is the only swim cap that actually fits my big head. It falls short however because the strap is strangely short and the velcro does fit through the slit on the other side-----very odd since this is an expensive specialty product. I would return it if I didn't need a cap that fits. I will have to buy some velcro and extend the strap. Wish me luck with that!Don't really understand why manufacturers can't make the strap appropriate to the size of the cap,
Big Tall Lady
Scrap the Strap!
Quality materials and construction, but the design of the strap makes it too difficult to close. Had to return it for credit.
Suffern, NY
Barracuda Isulated Swim Cap
Enjoy using the cap for lap swimming. The strap works well, but had to have my wife snip the end into an angled point which makes inserting into the plastic buckle much easier.
Green Valley, Arizona
Does help if you get cold swimming.
Great help if you get cold swimming. Strap is so short it is useless.
Port Orchard, Washington
Ok Product
I bought the large based upon the sizing chart and felt like I could have used the medium. The cap is warm and does its job but I do not like the two seams that run down the front of the cap. Its much worse if you have to cover it with a neoprene race cap. I recently completed a 3 mile swim in 60 degree water and the cap kept me warm but I spent much of the 2nd half of the swim trying not to think about the pain caused by the seams on my forehead.
Orlando, FL
Fit: Feels too big
Fits huge head
I have a big head, and have problems finding swim caps that fit. I tried on most of the other similar items available at the local Tri shop but all too small. Pleasantly surprised that this Barracuda cap fits! I like the velcro adjustable chin strap feature but as someone else commented, it could be longer and allow for more adjustment. This is after the fact, but the person helping me at the Tri shop commented that insulated caps marketed for surfing and scuba aren't all that different in design so if finding one the right size is an issue, try looking into those as well.
Seattle, WA
too difficult to hook on the strap
It is very difficult to get the strap through the buckle, because the buckle is too small. After messing with it for 10 minutes or so I might have gotten it to work once.
