Plankton-fluid interactions
People Research Publications Courses
ResearchOur research relates to interactions between marine plankton and the fluid environment with the goal of exploring two major themes:
1) Trophic interactions and the cycling of organic material in the ocean
2) Biological propulsion
To explore these themes, we primarily work with zooplankton (especially jelly-plankton) using a variety of in situ and experimental techniques.
Current projects:
Trophic interactions between jellyfish and ichthyoplankton at biological hot spots off the Oregon coast
Interactions between marine picoplankton and mucous-net filter feeders
Influence of organism-scale turbulence on the predatory impacts of a suite of cnidarian medusae
Past projects:
Ctenophore swimming and feeding in turbulence
Ostracod swimming behavior in flow
Low-Reynolds number filtration of submicrometer particles
Jet propulsion by salps
An in situ technique for measuring filtration rates

Trophic interactions between jellyfish and ichthyoplankton at biological hot spots off the Oregon coast
Collaborators: Ric Brodeur, Elizabeth Daly
Student: Sam Zeman
Funding: Oregon Sea Grant, UO Office for Research and Innovation
The Northern California Current (NCC), off the Oregon coast, sustains a biologically rich ecosystem. Periodic upwelling produces pulses in primary and secondary productivity which support a large fisheries biomass. Large cnidarian jellyfish, primarily Chrysaora fuscescens, Aurelia aurita and Aequorea sp., are seasonally abundant in the NCC and a key component of food webs but are typically not included in food web models due to uncertainties in the predator-prey relationships.
Frontal regions are key physical and biological features off of the Oregon coast and are predominantly produced by wind-driven coastal upwelling and river plumes. These regions are characterized by sharp spatial gradients in hydrographic properties— including temperature, salinity and nutrients— as well as velocity gradients. These regions have been characterized as 'biological hotspots' because elevated diversity and biomass are predictably found there.
The goal of this project is to characterize fine-scale distributions of large medusae and their zooplankton prey off the Oregon coast. This goal is being addressed through a combination of field video surveys, stratified net sampling and diet studies.
Interactions between marine picoplankton and mucous-net filter feeders
Collaborators: Gitai Yahel, Fabien Lombard, Yaron Tikochinski
Student: Keats Conley
Funding: United States- Israel Binational Science Foundation
The upper ocean is dominated by micron and submicron cells and these microorganisms are central in biogeochemical cycling. Chordate, mucous-net filter feeders, including salps, doliolids and appendicularians, have high individual filtration rates and specialize in filtering and retaining these minute particles, using highly sophisticated, mucus based, filtration apparatae. Contrary to the current understanding that filtration is non-selective by these filter-feeders, our preliminary data show that particle selection can be non-uniform, even for similarly sized cells. Surprisingly, bacteria of the SAR 11 clade, the most abundant organism in the upper ocean, are not retained by some ascidians while similar sized bacteria (e.g., Prochlorococcus) are retained with close to 100% efficiency.
This project relies on novel in situ sampling methods, next generation molecular techniques and visualizations of particle-mesh interactions to address three fundamental questions:
1) What are the differential retention patterns for different picoplanktonic phylotypes by pelagic tunicates?
2) How do selection preferences and selection mechanisms vary among pelagic filter feeders and how does this variation relate to the filtration apparatus geometry and hydrodynamics?
3) What are the mechanisms of particle retention (or lack of it) for different cell types, focusing in particular on salps and their interaction with SAR 11 bacteria?
Underwater sampling at Villefranche-sur-mer, France, to investigate particle selection by appendicaularians and salps.
Influence of organism-scale turbulence on the predatory impacts of a suite of cnidarian medusae
Collaborators: Sean Colin, Jack Costello
Students (undergraduates): Susan Brush, Clare Chisholm, Aaron Nelson, Alex Poje
Funding: National Science Foundation
Turbulence is known to influence plankton behavior, ingestion rates and vertical distributions and can therefore profoundly modify the flow of material through pelagic ecosystems; but organism-scale effects of turbulence are not understood and field studies have been rare. A detailed understanding of effects of turbulence on organism-scale predator-prey interactions, as well as a broader view of how trophic exchanges shift in turbulence, are critical to predicting current and future food-web interactions.
Using a suite of cnidarian hydromedusae with unique morphologies, fluid signatures and prey selection patterns from Friday Harbor labs, WA, we are investigating the influence of turbulence on predator-prey interactions.

Past projects:
Ctenophore swimming and feeding in turbulence
(with John Dabiri, Jack Costello and Sean Colin)
In the ocean, predator-prey interactions occur in moving fluid, yet studies of prey capture are often conducted in still-water tanks. Currently, I am working to understand how environmental turbulence influences the mechanics of prey capture. Our target organism, the invasive comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi , is of particular interest because it can exert a strong trophic impact in both its native environment (Atlantic Coast of N. and S. America) and areas where it has been introduced (Black, Caspian, Baltic and Mediterranean Seas).
Ostracod swimming behavior in flow
(with John Dabiri and Mimi Koehl)
Simultaneous, in situ measurements of zooplankton behavior and the background fluid motion are rare, and little is known in general about the swimming behavior of ostracods, which are ubiquitous in benthic marine environments. Working under a dock in Kanehoe Bay, Hawaii, we collected Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements and ostracod swimming tracks using a Self Contained Underwater Velocimetry Device (SCUVA). In slow flows (Urms ~0.4 cm s-1), ostracod swimming tracks were more tortuous, and encounters with bottom-dwelling organisms and with other ostracods were more frequent than in higher velocity wave-driven flows (Urms ~3.5 cm s-1), indicating that foraging and mating activities may be curtailed when ambient water flow is too rapid or variable.
Low-Reynolds number filtration of submicrometer particles
(with Larry Madin and Roman Stocker)
Though salps are centimeters in length and swim at speeds of ~1-10 cm s-1, filtration occurs on a fine, mucous mesh (fiber diameter ~0.1 μm) at low velocity (1.6 cm s−1) and is thus a low Reynolds number (Re ~10−3) process. A model of particle capture efficiency by a rectangular mesh was used to estimate particle capture rates on the salp filtering mesh based on realistic oceanic particle concentrations. Particle feeding experiments using 0.5, 1 and 3 µm fluorescent polystyrene microspheres were then performed to test the theoretical model. Results from both the model and from experiments showed that smaller particles are captured at considerably higher rates than larger particles. Though particles smaller than mesh openings (1.4 µm) are expected to supply substantially less carbon than larger particles, they can still completely satisfy salp energetic needs. By removing different sized particles with nonuniform efficiency and packaging them into fast-sinking fecal pellets, salps have the potential to structure oceanic particle size spectra.

Jet propulsion by salps
(with Larry Madin)
Salps are barrel-shaped marine organisms that are common in the open ocean and swim using a pulsed jet. Among salp species, there are a variety of body shapes and swimming styles that correspond to differences in ecological function. Dye visualization via bluewater SCUBA techniques and laboratory Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (DPIV) were used to describe jet wake structure and swimming performance variables including thrust, drag and propulsive efficiency among three salp species (Pegea confoederata, Weelia (Salpa) cylindrica, Cyclosalpa sp.). Locomotion by each species was achieved using vortex ring ring propulsion. Different combinations of swimming speed and hydrodynamic efficiency were observed and can be considered in light of metabolic constraints and ecological roles. Though nature does not strive for optimality, this work shows the value of a comparative approach for understanding how underlying structure and mechanism influence performance.

An in situ technique for measuring filtration rates
(with Larry Madin)
Accurately measuring filtration rates poses a challenge because salps are delicate, difficult to collect and maintain, and may not behave normally in the laboratory. Morphometric analysis of salps swimming in situ provides a way to measure the volume of fluid passing through the mucous filtering mesh. High definition video sequences collected by SCUBA divers were digitized to measure time-varying swimming kinematics and body volume over a pulse cycle. This non-invasive method produced higher feeding rates than other methods and revealed that body volume, pulse frequency and degree of contraction are important factors for determining volume filtered. The convergence of different species with diverse morphologies on similar normalized filtration suggests a tendency towards a flow optimum.

Jellyfish swimming behavior in shear flow
(with Monty Graham)
For my MSc work, I used a combination of in situ observations from a towed optical instrument, JellyCam, and laboratory experiments in kreisel tanks to show that moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) respond to velocity gradients by swimming asymmetrically. This asymmetrical swimming helps to explain a behavioral component to aggregations of jellyfish at density discontinuities (i.e., vertical and horizontal fronts) where velocity gradients are steep.

STANFORD, Calif. -
This on-line presentation highlights some of the things that make Stanford one of the premier universities in the world, and the Cardinal one of the finest gymnastics programs in the country.
Stanford is No. 4 on the U.S. News and World Report's 2010 list of Top 10 National Universities.
Also, the Cardinal gymnastics team was fourth in the nation last season, has finished among the nation's Top 10 in each of the past four seasons, and has advanced to the NCAA Championships eight times in the past 10 years.
Last season, Stanford had a national champion -- Carly Janiga in the uneven bars -- and placed seven gymnasts on the Scholastic All-America team, all with grade-point averages above 3.5.
Stanford opens the 2011 season on Jan. 9 at the Pac-10 Preview in Los Angeles, and opens its home season with a dual meet against defending NCAA champion UCLA, on Jan. 23 at Burnham Pavilion.

The Metro Public Health Department and the Davidson County WIC Program are celebrating the one year anniversary of the WIC Mobile clinic. The WIC Mobile Clinic offers participants an option to visit one of 17 locations throughout Davidson County in addition to the four existing clinics run by the Health Department. More than 50 percent of babies born in Nashville qualify for the WIC program.
Last April the Health Department purchased two vans using federal WIC funds in an effort to expand services throughout Davidson County. The WIC Mobile Clinic travels to 17 different community locations, visiting each site one day per month. The two vans have traveled more than 10,500 miles, providing vouchers and nutrition classes to nearly 2,100 participants.
The Health Department teamed up with churches, community centers, MDHA, and public service organizations throughout Davidson County to identify the best locations to offer WIC voucher pick-up and classes. Each location is within walking distance from where many of the participants live and work.
The Health Department recognized the need for a WIC Mobile Clinic after finding that more than 50 percent of WIC participants do not have adequate transportation to access our four WIC clinics. After polling many of our participants we found their number one obstacle was the amount of time needed to visit a WIC clinic if they rode a bus to the clinics.
The WIC Mobile Clinic provides convenient access to participants, allowing them to attend nutrition classes, pick up vouchers, and we can continue preventative care for infants and toddlers into early childhood.
In addition to the mobile locations, WIC services are also provided in Davidson County at four Metro Public Health Department locations, including the Lentz Health Center (311 23rd Ave. North), East Health Center (1015 East Trinity Lane), Woodbine Health Center (224 Oriel Ave.) and the South Nashville WIC Nutrition Center (3718 Nolensville Pike).
The Health Department operates the federally funded Women's Infants and Children (WIC) special supplemental nutrition program in Davidson County. WIC provides nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion and support, and healthy food vouchers to participants of the program. This program is available to pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children up to the age of five who meet the income and residency requirements and at nutritional risk.

First off, THAT JUST HAPPENED! Secondly, Tickle His Pickle: Your Hands On Guide to Penis Pleasing ($11) is probably the greatest Father's Day present your Baby's Daddy is going to receive this year. Not that you give him the book. Just suggestively leave it on the night stand and he'll know it's time for some manscaping and an early bed time for the kids.
This is a hilarious rec, because back in high school, a certain fellow in my life gave me this. I'm sure he was hoping for a different reaction other than loud laughter.
Hah! No way! Excellent reaction, in my opinion!

It's a little bit too chilly yet to wear shorts (and let's face it, our legs are still pasty and stubbly thanks to our half-assed efforts to shave during our morning shower). But we just LOVE these Silver Garland Antique Jacquard Shorts ($135) by Theory. So our plan of action is to wear them with heels and tights, with maybe a cami and fitted blazer? How would you pull off a pair of silver-threaded shorts?
Here are some similar shorts in gold, came across them at the mall the other day $19.99 on sale! I didn't get them because they were a little too short for me, but I loved them.

Brad, It's worth pointing out that the tax credit in Colorado is refundable, in contrast to the federal one. The link to the information:
The credit for a Leaf is $6000, as you suggest. (Assuming that the legislature doesn't do away with the incentives next year... one never knows!) The tax credit is reduced for leased cars, based on the capitalized cost.

Box Score | Highlights and Interview
SEATTLE – Washington (3-3) moved back to .500 on the season with its most complete game of the year, topping Wisconsin (6-4), 80-67. Aminah Williams led the charge with a career-best 19 points as six Huskies finished in double figures.
"Very excited for the players," said head coach Mike Neighbors. "Wisconsin was picked fourth in the Big-10 and has played a great schedule. They are in the top-50 in the RPI and lot of people are talking about being a tournament team. We knew it was a great opportunity and we didn't want that opportunity to pass by. I thought they did a great job."
The two teams played to a near stalemate in the first half with the Badgers taking a 1-point lead to the break. Wisconsin shot 50 percent (14-28) for the half, including 5-7 from 3-point range to keep pace with the Huskies who also shot the ball well (15-31).
The second half was a completely different ballgame as the Dawgs came out on fire, while getting stops at the other end. After trading baskets and Wisconsin taking a 41-40 lead, Washington went on a 15-0 run, putting on a show in transition and with its pressure defense.
During the run, Williams drained a pair of 3-pointers and finished the night with a career-best three from beyond the arc without a miss. The junior forward finished 8-11 from the floor for her career-high 19 points to go with 12 rebounds.
Williams was not the only Husky to get it going in the second half, however. Talia Walton finished with 16 points, while Mercedes Wetmore and Kelsey Plum each had 11 and Jazmine Davis and Katie Collier had 10 apiece.
Wetmore, who had been encouraged by the coaches to shoot more this week, finished 4-9 from the field, while adding six assists and four steals in 39 minutes.
"Mercedes was tremendous," said Neighbors. "She guarded Wurtz most of the game and to hold her to 5-14 shooting is outstanding. She played 39 minutes, but looked like she could have played 39 more. To put up that stat line, while guarding the opposing team's best player, Mercedes is your MVP tonight."
The other career high came from Collier, who is in just her sixth game as a Husky. The redshirt freshman scored 10 points, while battling UConn transfer Michala Johnson of Wisconsin in the paint much of the night. After scoring easily in the post her first two touches, Johnson was forced to face-guard Collier, which opened up driving lanes for the Husky guards.
"Tonight we saw the Katie Collier we see in practice," said Neighbors. "I think Husky fans got a glimpse of the Katie Collier we are going to see over the next four years. She's a presence in the post both offensively and defensively. I am not sure there are 10-15 better post players in the country than Michaela Johnson and that is who she was doing it against."
Washington finished with a 33-32 edge on the glass, while holding the Badgers to just 32.3 percent shooting (10-31) in the second half. The Dawgs finished 32-61 for the game (52.5 percent), while turning the ball over just eight times.
Washington will be right back at it on Sunday, when Montana State come to Alaska Airlines Arena at 2 p.m. The Bobcats are 4-2 on the season, going into their Saturday night tilt at Seattle U.

Dear Phil and Crew,
We would like to thank you for making us look really sharp for my wedding!! Everyone loved the looks and colors that you had recommended!
You said you appreciate our business but we appreciate how you run your business more! We had a great time in your Tux's and the pictures looked great, but like my pops said: "You guys are so professional at what you do."
I felt so good in the shop and the way you guys treated us... Man just perfect!
Thanks for such a great experience you guys made a huge difference!!
Dear Phil's Tux Staff,
Thank you for the wonderful job in arranging the tuxedo rentals for the VIP men in our wedding. Everybody looked really sharp and we got many compliments on the tuxedos.
Thanks again,
Jason & Liane Chong.
Phil and John,
Thank you for all of your help with the tuxedos for the wedding. You were both extremely accommodating regarding our situation and we are very grateful. The tuxedos looked great on all of our guys and everything went extremely well. Your service was top notch and we will be sure to tell anyone and everyone we know to use your services.
Thanks again for all of your help.
Matt & Christine Cody
Aloha Phil,
We would like to take this time to thank you for everything! On such short notice and during Prom season you still managed to show us that we were more important and individually special. Your service, patience, honesty and true excitement is what made our experience with you wonderful and we've already begun to spread the word among our friends. We know they'll be in good hands!
Yvonne and Shane Cox
Re: Phil's Tux Shops, Hawai'i
To Whom It May Concern:
Our company handles destination management services for corporate meetings and incentives. These programs often include formal dinners or galas that require visiting attendees to be in tuxedos.
We began working with Phil Grunnenberg of Phil's Tux Shops over 12 years ago because he was conveniently located in Honolulu. This partnership that began as a convenience quickly became a treasure. Phil's work ethic is extraordinary. He provides quality rentals and superior on-site service.
Servicing our programs often requires that hundreds of men be fitted as soon as they get off the plane in Hawai'i. Our attendees are not usually at their best after flying for eight hours to get here. Phil and his staff handle them with kid gloves and the process goes very smoothly. From that point, his staff must shift into high gear to get those hundreds of fittings transformed into perfectly altered and pressed evening wear ---- sometimes overnight.
Phil Grunnenberg has our highest accolade... our continued business.
Debbie Weil-Manuma
To Whom It May Concern:
Over the last 12 years we have had the pleasure of utilizing the services of Mr. Phil Grunenberg in conjunction with annual programs in the Hawaiian Islands. He has always been very professional and most competent in providing top quality tuxedos and on-site management.
During these programs there has never been a problem Phil couldn't take care of. Dealing with corporate, and Presidential level this is truly a plus!!
We give both Phil and his product the highest recommendation.

Why do I get different alignments when importing a homolog into the Prime Structure Prediction panel and when selecting the same homolog in the results of a search for homologs?
When you import a homolog into the Prime Structure Prediction panel, a ClustalW job is run to align the template to the query, rather than a Blast job. When you run a search for homologs, Blast is used for the search and the alignment. For systems with high sequence identity, there will probably not be large differences, however, for systems with lower sequence identities, the differences may be larger. In particular, the scores will be different because BLAST assesses the importance of the different regions of the sequence, and won't include regions it considers unimportant in the score it calculates.

- Official Site: GhostsofGirlfriendsPastMovie.com
- Release Date: May 1, 2009
- Director: Mark Waters
- Main Actors: Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Michael Douglas
For womanizing photographer Connor Mead (Matthew McConaughey), breaking up with three women via conference call isn't insensitive; it's just efficient. However, when his cynical attitude toward monogamy threatens to ruin his little brother's wedding, Connor is visited by the ghosts of his former girlfriends and the playboy uncle who taught him everything he knows (Michael Douglas). Taking him through his failed relationships -- past, present and future -- they try to show Connor that love isn't a lost cause after all, giving him one last shot with the one who got away (Jennifer Garner).
By exchanging Ebenezer Scrooge's stinginess for what would clinically be called a sex addiction, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past manages to twist Charles Dickens' classic Christmas Carol into a by-the-numbers romantic comedy. The high-concept premise and the leading ladies may change but, otherwise, Matthew McConaughey's latest movie follows the same blueprint that's made the man millions: an "irredeemable" but irresistibly charming Lothario is eventually redeemed by his one true love. Jennifer Garner isn't as fitting a counterpart as Kate Hudson has been, but she's fine in her relatively undemanding role as the perennially-disapproving Jenny. To its credit, at times the film self-reflexively pokes fun at its cookie-cutter nature (like its explicit wink at a Cyndi Lauper-set montage), but in the end that's a pretty poor substitute for engaging characters, clever dialogue or a compelling plot. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past certainly won't impress critics with its originality, but that's apparently what audiences seem to love about McConaughey -- they get older, his movies stay the same.
There is one silver lining in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past: Despite the revolving door of good-looking gals in various states of undress, somehow McConaughey manages to keep his shirt on for the entire movie, otherwise, there's little in the film to appeal to guys. Despite a painfully obvious moral -- you don't have to be a chauvinistic asshole to be a "real man" -- there's a gross-out joke here and there (a gag about raining condoms comes to mind), but this film's clearly for the ladies. That said, there's a weird pervading misogyny that's hard to shake even after Connor's had his little "revelation." The movie's characters are borderline offensive stereotypes, whether you're a man, woman, Indian, or ghost. If you managed to stomach McConaughey's last few movies, you'll probably be able to do the same here. Otherwise, don't bother.

Resilient in Economic Downturn
Last week J. crew announced its 3Q10 earnings reporting that its
store sales increased by 1% and direct-to-consumer sales increased
12% vs. 3Q09. During the recent economic downturn when many of its
peers were badly hit, J. Crew was able to grow revenues by focusing
on basic styles rather than fashion-forward items leading to market
share gains. This strategy is continuing to pay off.
In addition to this, J.Crew has been working on improving its
sourcing and distribution processes, which has helped to reduce
costs and improve gross margin by nearly 6 percentage points during
fiscal year 2009. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2010, its
gross margins were up by nearly 1.5 percentage points vs. the same
period last year.
Women's Fashion Push
The brand has been able to achieve a well-defined identity
through its marketing campaigns, social media and a good in-store
experience. This image has worked well for its women's apparel
division, which has been endorsed by Michelle Obama in the
J.Crew is expected to continue to leverage such marketing
initiatives to enhance its women's line. Currently, women's apparel
constitutes nearly 80% of the revenue from J.Crew stores and
accounts for 34% of our price estimate.
Sales Metrics to Improve
J. Crew's strong brand value, multi-channel operations and
improving margins position the company extremely well to expand its
business. With retail spending picking up in the US, J.Crew expects

Jumper Movie Reviews
User reviews on Jumper
I completely loved this film. It and Iron Man are the best ones I have seen in some time. This movie has such wonderful action and I love the whole Teleporting aspect that it has. Even though the plot ended in a kind of disappointing end, the movie in a whole was superb and outstanding.
I really enjoyed this film. It had mystery, romance, action, adventure. Everything that i like in a film. Loved the characters also. Reminds me of Indiana Jones
This movie had the potential to be great but it ended up a bit short. What makes it worse is the high expectations were set by the the movie itself. Essentially you had an extraordinary but isolated protagonist facing a well connected resourceful and ruthless enemy. The movie started off strong and looked like it was heading for a great showdown. But it ended up a little half-baked and up in the air. The movie was still well done, and if nothing else they left it open for a sequel.
I love movies where the characters have super abilities and again they delivered. I liked the fact that the main character had the ability to go from one place to the next in the blink of an I and the ending is just like- ARE YOU SERIOUS? overall i liked the movie and would definately tell someone to go and rent this movie.
As a comic book fan with an avid imagination I\\\'ve often wondered what it would be like to have super powers. I\\\'ve dreamed of being able to fly like Superman, stretch my body like Mr. Fantastic, and super strength like the Hulk. Jumper dreams of just such things.
What if you had the ability to teleport yourself to any location on the planet. What would you do? Where would you go? Would you visit Paris, Rome, or London. Or would you rob banks? Bypa**ing all security by teleporting directly in and out of the vault. The most important question though is, who\\\'s watching?
That\ \\'s what this movie is about. Hayden Christensen once again squares off against Sammuel L. Jackson. Christensen plays a young man who thinks he has the world robbing banks and traveling the world with his teleportation powers. Jackson in turn plays the head of an organization that has been hunting down Jumpers (that\\\'s what people with these powers are called) since the Crusades.
The concept of this film has so much potential and the movie lives up to all of it. One minute they\\\'re in Michigan the next in New York and the next in London. This makes the movie very fast paced. They do slow it down between fight scenes so you can catch your bearings. Speaking of the fight scenes...
When they made this movie they were never saying \\\"This performance is award winning.\\\" But I wouldn\\\'t be surprised if they said \\\"We\\\'re gonna win an MTV Movie Award for coolest fight scene.\\\" The fight scenes are almost as much of a blur as the ones in Transformers. My only complaint about Transformers was the fact that the fight scenes were so fast paced that half the time I didn\\\'t know which robot was fighting which robot. This is almost as bad with the constant scene changes during the fights. Though they do fight in one place just long enough for you to figure out where they are.
I was never to pleased with Christensen\\\' s performance in the Star Wars films. Well I should say film. I never did see Episode II and I only say Episode III because I wanted see the transformation from Aniken to Vader. Christensen was whinny through the whole film. Even as he was doing battle with Obi Wan he made the character seem annoying. Because of this performance I really questioned if Christensen could act. I think this film redeemed him.
Jackson... What can I say about Sam Jackson that hasn\\\'t already been said. He\\\'s a great actor. One of the best out there right now. Jackson is always at his best when he\\\'s playing the villain. The character isn\\\'t to sinister but killing isn\\\'t beyond him. I was really glad to see him back in the villain role.
All in all I rate this one as \\\"It would be a nice addition to my collection.\\\" For all of those that don\\\'t know my rating system is based on how essential I think it is to own the film. Here\\\'s how the rating system goes from highest to lowest: Must own: I gotta get this one as soon as it comes out. It would be a nice addition to my collection: I gotta have it but I\\\'m in no hurry to own it. I\\\'d buy it if it was in the $5.99 bin at Wal-Mart: I\\\'d be nice to own but I refuse to pay full price. Rent it: It\\\'d be good for a one time watch but I don\\\'t wanna see it enough to own it. Skip it: This movie is not worth spending a single cent on. As you can see the rating system is based upon if I\\\'d own it. Keep an eye on my blogs for reviews.
A good movie with a decent plot, but with the antagonist being a white haired African American it was kind of ridiculous. Another thing that bothered me was his mothers choice when the boy was young, it just seemed like a strange thing for a mother to do. Otherwise the story was easy to follow and quite enjoyable.

I mentioned earlier today that I would call for parcells' resignation if things didn't work out.
And then today, he stepped down. Lends credence to the thought that Ross was trying to trim the budget, doesn't it?

The British Pound rallied for the second week in a row versus the U.S. Dollar as economic calendar releases showed that data surpassed expectations and raised speculation that growth is gaining momentum. The Sterling rose to an 11-month high against the U.S. currency after figures indicated that everything from construction to business confidence and manufacturing exceeded predictions. According to Friday's reports, the gauge of services went up in April and the average home prices in Wales and England sustained the largest hike in three years.
Meanwhile, gold Futures reached a three-week high before erasing gains and finished the week more or less unchanged once metrics revealed that the U.S. employment sector improved more than forecast last month. Gold traders turned bearish after market investors sold a record high amount of the precious metal. Gold Futures for June delivery settled at $1,461.75 a troy ounce on the Comex Division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Other Forex currency trading news showed that the Euro advanced versus the greenback after better than predicted employment figures for April fueled demand for high-yield assets. The U.S. Department of Labor announced that the economy added 165,000 payrolls, while economists only expected an increase of 145,000. However, the shared currency trimmed early earnings as the Institute of Supply Management issued metrics denoting that the U.S. service sector grew at the slowest rate in nine months. The Euro currency recouped its footing once a senior central bank official played down the fact that the bank may inflict a negative deposit rate on financial institutions.

Word trickled to Kimbo Slice, that he was done as a fighter, that his body was so broken down he was unable to train, that he was transferring to pro wrestling. His jaw muscles clenched, and his brow furrowed. He was pissed.
But he didn't punt a puppy, or blast his fist through some drywall. Instead, he made clear to his inner circle that he wanted to set the record straight.
No, he communicated to TSS through spokesman/advisor "Icey" Mike Imber, he is not through as a fighter, not in MMA, or in boxing. Furthermore, we learn, reports that he was going to jump ship to pro wrestling, and take part in an event in Japan on February 5th were incorrect.
Imber told TSS that yes indeed, in October Slice was letting some injuries heal up, and during that time, he was offered a part in The Scorpion King 3, which was filming in early December in Thailand. "But he didn't quit anything," Inber stressed to TSS. "He wanted the experience, and to get this side money. But it's "when," not "if" he will fight again. When will he start training again? Pretty effing soon. He's getting antsy!"
As for the pro wrestling gig, Inber told TSS that there were negotiations for a Japan appearance, but "it didn't pan out." That may be an option down the line, the advisor said.
Imber said also that Slice hasn't, as has been rumored, shut the door on mixed martial arts. But he intends to box first. "He's 36," Inber said. "Other guys are fighting into their 40s. He's a fighter, he will fight!"
The nowadays heavyweight division stinks! But the deadbeats and chumps, with the most serious action being their heartbreaks pounding inside their chests, would probably "murda' da bum," Bimbo Spice -- I mean Kimbo Slice. In his armor, there are too many kinks. In da boxin' game, Ray "Merciless" Mercer would put dat arse on ice. Run, DUDE, RUN! Save yourself from a serious thumpin.' In dat squared jungle of whup arse, ya' won't find any fun. Just outta yo' face, a lot of blood pumpin.' Keep makin' those movies, ya'll last longa!' In this legal mayhem game, ya be 'an instant gona!' Holla!
what is he 245 lbs?
i weigh 168 i will fight him today.
this is a total joke that this dude is going to try boxing next after being knocked out by a jab by a guy 60 lbs lighter during an mma bout.
the dude has no skills, brawling is not a skill. he is there to be hit, all day..
skills pay the bills..
lets hopefully never talk about him again.
Ditto,... dude should be taking intertainment jobs pretending to be a fighter,.. there's nothing left for him in the fight game.
He is a character. Eager to see how far he could go in the fight game. Has a real good chin. Stamina's his biggest issue I'd say.
NOPE! Trust ME! Dat sucka does not have a boxing chin or a chance. Even the weakest of this era of heavyweight marshmellows and tomato cans would kayo KS with a single shot. [Everybodeee and dey momma look tough until they get in that squared jungle with a REAL fighter. Going by the Queensberry's Rules, these chumps go to sleep ASAP!] I would love to see him get it on with ex-WBO champion Ray Mercer, who he made tap out in less than a minute in a UFC dance. The "Merciless" one would probably kayo KS within 15 seconds in a squared jungle tangle. But I know that Ray would wanna play cat and mouse to get revenge. Beside, EM, KS has a mental weakness, not a stamina one. He folds against any body who fights him back and hurt or bloody his arse. These types of cojones--less jokers come a dime a dozen. Holla!
Looking forward to seeing Cotto in the ring again keeping busy and getting sharper. I'm curious to see how he has improved under the master trainer Manny Stew. Dueces
While people on TSS are laughing at Kimbo and talking like they're tougher and better fighters than Kimbo, Kimbo is out there getting movie offers, pro wrestling gigs and a chance to make even more money by being an opponent in a pro boxing match. He's doing good for himself.
did you seen ray knock out tim sylvia in an mma bout? tim was prime and 2 years removed from ufc champion and ray crumbled him like a building with one shot.....
apparently this was directed at me...am i a pro fighter no, but neither is he. however, i have been boxing for 15 years, i put other sports first when i was younger because of the offers i received....however, this has absolutely has nothing to do with the man not having the skills or ability to box. good for him im glad hes making some money and getting some fame but money and fame dont buy your way into heaven so i wont be jealous when he gets it... the fact is the man goes from one failure to the next, and a boxer he is not. being strong and lifting weights has nothing to do with having boxing skills
Let's deal with da real. One must face that KS has to climb a steep hill, and it will be no thrill. Let me school ya, because I will not try ta fool ya! I'll be fly ta ya, before I lie ya. In regulated boxing, Kimbo Slice will be no G-man or G-animal. He has strickly been a streetfighter in bareknuckles. Putting boxing gloves, boxing shoes, a boxing cup and boxing trunks on him is the same as giving Superman kryptonite. Even the surface of that squared jungle is bad for KS. Da dude is use to the footing that he gets on back yard grass [he is probably smoking that other type of grass, lmfao.] or on a parking lot. Boxing is not called "The Sweet Science" for nothing. Back LOOOOOONNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG, LONG ago in the day, when boxers fought in bareknuckles not many bareknuckle fighters could cross over to wearing gloves and fighting on a canvas, instead of a roped-off area of a yard. There were not many John L Sullivans -- a bareknucklers who could, did and would cross over. The types of canvas[es] that boxing uses today is roughly 30 years old. These plastic/rubber types of canvas[es] started becoming the norm in the early 1980s. Many boxers, who was use to the old-school ones refused to fight unless a clause was put in their contract for the old school ones that were made out of some type of strong cloth and/or rough hide. [TSSU boxing scribes can get on their research and have my back on this one. Evolution -- call it change -- is all around us. Even in the hurt bitnezz. That is why it is difficult to compare long-ago yesteryears' pugilists with nowadays. Every dang thing is different -- the attire, the mouthpiece, the ring, the rule, etc., etc.
After being so successful with bareknuckle fighting in yards and parking lots, KS will never get use to using boxing handwraps and gloves. And he will never establish the proper balance and footing on a boxing canvas with boxing shoes on. For he is glued to doing his thing with his bare feet or tennis shoes. [The canvas and the mitts were the main reason IMHO that KS was revealed in da UFC/MMA jive.] The way KS punches with his bare fists won't work with boxing mitts on. TRUST ME! Putting KS in boxing attire is just as bad as giving Superman kryptonite koolaide or ice tea. By the way, where is TSS reader Koolaid? Anyway, there nuthin' but luv for Kimbo Slice. Smacking talkin' is a part of the fight culture, but we can get Real Talk too. We don't spit racist jive to one another, but we talk serious SMACK, babbbeeee! If Kimbo Slice knew who I was tomorrow, he'd laugh his arse off and call me midget writey write. Then say, "How ya lik' da smell of my spice? All da bimbos luv me! Thanks for keyboard tappin' me as Bimbo Spice, dat was funny and nice!" Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

College Hockey:Gray's three assists lead Adrian over Milwaukee School of Engineering
ADRIAN, Mich. — In a game that was a rematch of last season's Harris Cup final, the Adrian College Bulldogs defeated the Milwaukee School of Engineering Raiders by a score of 4-2 Friday night in Adrian. The No. 8 Bulldogs (3-0, 3-0 MCHA) took over first place in the MCHA for the time being, as they knocked the No. 12 Raiders (3-2, 3-2 MCHA) from their seat atop the leader board.
For the Bulldogs, the focus was on the present, not on what happened the last time the Raiders came into Arrington Ice Arena.
"It's a new year; I did not make any references to what happened last year at all this week," Bulldog coach Ron Fogarty said after the game.
In the first period, the Bulldogs controlled the play, utilizing an aggressive forecheck to force the MSOE defenseman to turn the puck over in their own zone. After a few close calls, Adrian sophomore Justin Basso put the Bulldogs up 1-0 just under 5:30 into the game. Shelby Gray picked up a loose puck and found Basso in the slot, where he beat MSOE's Nick Kohn to the five-hole to give the Bulldogs a lead.
"Coming in, we knew that we just needed to get shots on this goalie to test him," Basso said. "I kicked the puck out of my feet and just tried to get a quick shot off on net."
Basso's tally looked to be the only one of the period as time wound down on the first frame, but a costly penalty by Kevin LoGludice with :20 remaining in the period gave the Bulldogs a key opportunity to seize some momentum heading into the locker room. The Bulldogs power play went to work without much time left in the period, but they did not need much time at all. After Josh Cousineau won the faceoff, Gray fed Sammy Nyberg at the point, where the defenseman put a shot into the upper corner of the net as time ran down. Nyberg's first career Bulldog goal with just under :04 remaining in the period gave Adrian a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes of play.
The second period told a different story though, as the Raiders quickly jumped out and got all over the Bulldogs, seizing the early momentum. Adrian's Scott Shackell stood tall through a barrage of Raiders shots, keeping MSOE off the board until midway through the period when Nathan Brunks shot from the point beat Shackell. Brad Tierney then hammered home a loose rebound just under 2:30 later on a power play to tie the game at two.
"It came down to confidence; we did not have it in the first period, and needed to regain it," said MSOE coach Mark Ostapina. "We gave up two costly goals in the first, but I thought we did a good job bouncing back and playing well in the second."
In the third period, the Bulldogs regained their jump from the first period from the opening puck drop of the period.
For Fogarty, the message to his team between the second and the third was a simple one, and moment of teaching.
"I just revisited our systems," Fogarty said. "We were getting over-zealous in our own zone, and that's what hurt us."
In the third, the Bulldogs got back to work forcing turnovers, and were once again the beneficiaries. Just over a minute into the period, Adrian's Zach Graham, who was honored for his MCHA MVP Award earlier in the night, picked up a loose puck and tried to center it. Graham's pass found the feet of MSOE's Nathan Brunk, from where it was redirected past Kohn to give the Bulldogs a 3-2 lead.
After the game, Basso reflected on his line's (Basso, Graham, Gray) success on the night. "Last weekend, we had a lot of chances and just were not able to capitalize," he said. "This weekend, we were able to bury those opportunities."
Scott Shackell played well the rest of the way for the Bulldogs, shutting the door and making several clutch saves at key moments throughout the third. As time wound down after a back and forth third period, freshman Chris Leone picked up his first career goal as he scored an empty-net goal from the defensive zone.
Shackell picked up his second win of the year, making 22 saves on 24 shots, while Kohn made 21 saves on 24 shots.
The Bulldogs and Raiders face off again tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. at Arrington Ice Arena.

DeKALB - Fans of the Northern Illinois University baseball program can follow 22 current NIU Huskies and three future Huskies across eight different states, stretching the East and West coasts throughout the summer, as they play collegiate summer baseball."The best way to get better at baseball is to keep playing baseball. It's important that our guys keep playing baseball in the offseason and getting reps at the plate and on the field, especially our younger guys," said Head Coach Ed Mathey. "After a long season and the bonus of summer baseball, things start to click a little more and the game slows down. This is a good opportunity for our guys to get better, meet some new teammates - some of which they play against - and keep playing the game of baseball for the entire year."Of the 25 NIU baseball players, six different Huskies are playing in the Northwoods League, considered to be best collegiate baseball league in the Midwest and rivaled only by the Cape Cod League in Massachusetts. While "The Cape" is revered for its pitching, the Northwoods is known for its hitting. Northern Illinois University's top-three hitters last season - Tommy Hook, Justin Fletcher and Brian Sisler - have all signed to play in the Northwoods League, playing across Wisconsin and Minnesota.Amongst the new additions in 2015, South Suburban College transfer Stephen Letz, finished the 2014 season with a .421 average, 17 doubles, two triples, 10 home runs, 65 RBI, 53 runs and an 1.189 OPS percentage (on-base plus slugging), en route to NJCAA Division I Regional Player of the Year honors.Fans can also follow former Huskies this summer as they continue their careers in professional baseball. As of press time, NIU has three players playing professionally, including Jeff Zimmerman (2011-13), who is playing in the Seattle Mariners organization with the Class A Clinton LumberKings.A full list of Huskies, their summer teams and websites can be seen below for fans to follow all summer long.

Good morning all, how was your weekend? Mine was spent watching the amazing biopic Grey Gardens… such a sad and unusual story about lost opportunities in life. The 2009 film features Drew Barrymore and is based on the 1975 documentary of the same name.
In 1972, a tabloid newspaper in New York revealed an extraordinary story – two women, mother and daughter Edith and Edie Bouvier Beale aunt and first cousin of Jackie Kennedy were discovered living in squalor and isolation in their dilapidated once glittering family home in the Hamptons. Aspiring singers and wonderful eccentrics, they let two documentary film makers into their home to film their extraordinary lives. The 2009 film shows their lives during the documentary and how they came to their present fate.
Although a sad tale, the characters are hilarious and charming and you can't help but be mesmerized. I would recommend everyone watch this, I did – three times in one weekend!
Anyway, we have lots to look forward to this week, beautiful interiors and exciting design discoveries, lots of good things to eat and new people to meet! Next, an interview with Karine Kong of Bodie and Fou…

Am so cross. Had that saved on my PVR and deleted it the other day due to lack of space. I suspected I'd made a mistake – looks like I was right!

If teams are in the market for safeties, this may be the best year for the position in more than 10 years.
There could be as many as 10 safeties taken in the first three rounds of the NFL draft, which hasn't happened since 2002. There are about five to eight that go off the board in rounds one through three most years.
Headlining the group will be Texas free safety Kenny Vaccaro, who turned down a chance to be a first-round pick last year in order to remain in school. Vaccaro has the size, athleticism and physical play to be an instant impact player for a team drafting in the mid to late first round.
Florida's Matt Elam is probably the class of the strong safeties because of the production and versatility the All-American brings. He is a proven play-maker who has great instincts and has uncanny ball-hawking skills that are coveted in the NFL.
But even beyond Vaccaro and Elam this draft has great depth and plenty of players who will come in and be able to play immediately.
A closer look at safeties
Kenny Vaccaro
Texas, 6-0, 214
Comes from a program that has become known for the quality of NFL defensive backs it produces under assistant coach Duane Akina. Vaccaro certainly fits the mode as a prototypical NFL free safety. Vaccraro is as good in coverage as he is coming up in run support. He is more physical than your typical free safety. There is a concern that he does not intercept the ball much with just five picks in 51 career games at Texas but he is expected to be the first safety taken.
Matt Elam
Florida, 5-10, 208
It seems like Elam is equipped and ready to do it all at the next level. He is strong and physical enough to come up and support the run and he is also athletic enough to drop in coverage against a slot receiver as strong safety. Elam had 78 tackles for the Gators last season while leading the defense in tackles for loss (11), pass breakups (seven) and forced fumbles (two) to earn All-American honors. He is a little shorter than most NFL scouts would like but his 4.43 speed and versatility make him a likely first- or second-round pick.
Jonathan Cyprien
Florida International, 6-0, 217
Doesn't come from one of the traditional programs but when facing high level competition, Cyprien always came through during his college career. He plays with the physicality and aggressiveness NFL scouts are looking for from strong safeties. He brings a lot of pop with his hits. Cyprien finished last season with 93 tackles and four interceptions, which were both team highs. He is a projected as a second-round pick.
Eric Reid
Phillip Thomas
Fresno State, 6-0, 208
Thomas' stock has been rising because NFL scouts are increasingly more excited about his instincts and physical play. The free safety is a big-time hitter who is also good in coverage. Thomas does lack the top end speed the scouts normally like but many believe his 4.57 speed in the 40 will be adequate enough. Another concern is his willingness to gamble, biting often on the play action and on receivers' double moves which will get him in trouble in the NFL. Thomas is expected to be drafted somewhere between the second and third rounds.
D.J. Swearinger
South Carolina, 5-10, 208
Swearinger has gained a lot of attention because of the wide range of talent he has. He is a versatile defender who plays well in coverage and against the run. Swearinger plays with the aggression, physicality and competitiveness NFL scouts like from free safeties and he is a big hitter with good acceleration. The concerns are he is a little shorter than the NFL likes and he is also a bit stiff and sometimes displays poor tackling technique. Swearinger is likely to go between the second and third rounds.
J.J. Wilcox
Georgia Southern, 6-0, 213
Wilcox, a converted wide receiver, played just one season at safety but that was enough to get the attention of NFL scouts. He has great size, good athletic ability, versatility and a lot of upside. The problem is he still raw so it will take him some time to develop him as a strong safety. But most project he will go in the third round.
Bacarri Rambo
Georgia, 6-0, 211
Rambo has many of the intangibles that could make him a steal in this draft. He has the ability to read the quarterbacks eyes and then close in on the receiver. Rambo also has good hand-eye coordination and body control. NFL scouts also like his aggressiveness as a free safety. What is probably stopping him from going higher than the third round of is he has failed two drug tests at Georgia, prompting the Bulldogs to suspend him for the first four games of the 2012 season.
Shamarko Thomas
Syracuse, 5-9, 213
Thomas has generated attention as an aggressive and hard-hitting strong safety. His ability to rush the passer off the edge and assertiveness along the line scrimmage makes him ideal in blitz packages. Thomas, who has 4.42 speed, is a bit undersized but his lack of stature helps him get through the line of scrimmage unblocked. He draws comparisons to former Indianapolis Colts star safety Bob Sanders. Thomas is projected to go between the third and fourth rounds.
T.J. McDonald
McDonald is a versatile free safety who can line up as a center fielder, in coverage over a slot receiver or come blitzing from either the edge or up the middle. He's aggressive hitter and attacks the line of scrimmage. McDonald, who runs a 4.54 in the 40-yard dash, can be a bit of gambler which gets him in trouble in coverage. He is projected to be selected between third and fourth rounds.

Like what I always say, TP Friends, the true meaning of Christmas is giving and sharing. And I believe that giving becomes all the more meaningful when we choose to share not just any item that we can easily part with but the very best that we can possibly give.
TP Friends, in line with today's celebration of Christmas, Santa Claus himself - via our #OPlusTPWishUponAReindeer Yuletide Gadget Bonanza - will be giving away a brand new limited edition flagship release, O+ Imagine, complete with accessories including the exclusive Sennheiser earphones made specifically for O+ handsets.
According to our friends from the American company, O+ Imagine represents the very best that the company has to offer in this product category both in terms of design and technical specifications thus far.
The flagship smartphone features a gorgeous and stunning glass-metal-glass-sandwich design language reminiscent of Sony's new generation Xperia handsets. Both the front and the back panels of the device flaunt scratch-resistant and shatter-proof Carbon Glass while the frame of the body itself is crafted from anodized aluminum. These elements - along with the O+ Imagine's lightweight 134 grams construction and ultra-thin 7.8 millimeters form factor - give it an air corporate sophistication and understated elegance.
The phone's visually arresting exterior is perfectly complemented by its powerhouse innards and technical specifications. O+ Imagine sports a 5-inch Full HD IPS OGS display panel (but really, looking at it and comparing it with the screens of my other handsets, I think it's SuperAMOLED) and smoothly runs Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean operating system with stock user interface (plus O+ customized set of icons and wallpapers and camera application) with its Quad Core 1.5 GHz ARM Cortex A7 CPU and 357 MHz PowerVR SGX GPU based MediaTek MT6589 Turbo SoC.
O+ Imagine likewise features 2 GB of RAM for efficient multitasking, a whopping 32 GB of non-expandable internal storage, a 13 MegaPixel autofocus camera with LED flash and BSI sensor, 5 MegaPixel front cam also with backside illuminated sensor for brighter and clearer selfies, Full HD 30fps video recorder, WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G HSPA+ connectivity support, and non-removable 2,000 mAh Li-Po battery pack delivering up to 8 hours of uptime with mixed usage including playing games, texting, calling, updating social networking sites, browsing the web, listening to music, taking photos, and recording videos.
Most of his reindeers have completed their giveaways and of course, Santa Claus is not to be left behind when it comes to the Holiday gift-giving. "I've decided to raffle off the best smartphone that O+ has currently, Mark," Santa Claus told me. And so he's now giving all TP Friends a chance to own the O+ Imagine via his own Rafflecopter contest. "And because it's Christmas, I will add more options to send entries," he added.
TP Friends, apart from following O+ and TechPinas on Facebook and Twitter and sharing the contests on those sites. You may now get more entries by following us on Instagram and subscribing to our channels on Youtube! Later, I will also post our unboxing video of O+ Imagine here and you can even more entries simply by sharing it on FB.
The beautiful and powerful O+ Imagine is now available nationwide at all O+ Concept Stores and Kiosks in major malls. The promo price of this handset is Php 16,995 and for that amount you will already get the free Sennheiser earphones, which come exclusively with this release. I invite you to give a unit a test run at an O+ store near you; I promise you, you will fall in love with it. I sure did -- at first sight. Thank you, Santa Claus! Merry Christmas, TP Friends! God bless us all!

Technology Boot Camp Week 5: Online Library Resources
This week we are going to focus on the resources available right here on the LFPL website. The website allows you to access many of the library's services from the convenience of wherever you have internet access.
- The Library's online catalog allows you to search for materials and request items. Click on My Account to check your due dates, renew items, manage your request list, or even pay fines.
- Reader's Corner offers links to suggest new authors and titles, book reviews written by LFPL staff, and more.
- The Job Shop page has links to career search engines, resume help, class listings, and salary info.
- Internet Links lists websites selected by our librarians for their usefulness and reliability, and organized by topic.
- The Events Calendar lists programs offered at your local branch. You can also find a complete schedule of LFPL's computer classes.
We recommend taking some time to look around the web page and explore some of these offerings. After you're done, come back to this post to learn all about our Research Tools page.
Research Tools
Databases are also an important feature of LFPL's website. The databases offered by the library bring together information and services typically not available for free on the internet. Many of our databases include current and back issues of journals, magazines and various other publications. Some of these are popular materials, like the Wall Street Journal or Newsweek; others are scholarly journals or industry-specific publications, such as The Harvard Law Review. Certain databases specialize in collecting and organizing data, such as financial information or auto repair guides. Let's explore some of LFPL's databases and get started on this week's activity.
The library's databases are located on the website, www.lfpl.org, under Research Tools, the fourth option down on the left-hand side of the page. Follow the steps below to find your way around the library's various databases.
1) Start on the Research Tools page.
2) On this page the databases are organized by subject, in case you don't know exactly which database you need. If you do know which database you need, look to the right-hand side of the page and select "A-Z Listing of Research Tools" for an alphabetical listing of all of LFPL's databases. If you are working on a computer outside of the library, you will need to log in. When you click on the database you want to use, you will be prompted to enter your library card number and password.
3) If you are looking for a specific publication and you're not sure which database carries it, select "Journal/Magazine/Newspaper Search" (just below "A-Z Listing of Research Tools") . Once you search for the name of the publication, you will see a list of databases that carry that publication.
Give it a try!
This week we offer seven activities, so you have an opportunity to explore all that you can do with the library's databases. Try all seven or just pick a few that match your interests.
A) From the Research Tools page, pull up the alphabetical listing of databases (See step 2 above.) and select Academic Search Premier. In the search field, enter a topic of interest to you. As an example, we use 'constitution'. Above the search field, uncheck the box next to 'Suggest Subject Terms'. This allows you to do a keyword search, rather than browse by subject listings. Below the search field, under 'Limit your results', check the box for 'Full Text'. This will restrict your search to only those articles which the database can give you full access (otherwise it will include citations for articles relevant to your search, but only the citation, not the actual article). Then click Search.
When you find an article, click on either 'PDF Full Text' or 'HTML Full Text'. We select the second article that comes up for constitution. Once you've opened your selected article, notice on the right-hand side the different options you are given. You can download the article directly to your computer or flash drive. You can also email the article to your email account. If you've ever had to write a research paper and hated having to put your citations in the correct format, note the option to select a citation format to go with the emailed article. You can copy and paste this directly into your bibliography.
B) Back issues of The Courier-Journal on microfilm are one of the more popular resources at the Main Library downtown. But did you know you can search the Courier-Journal, both current and past issues, from your home with our ProQuest newspaper database? From the Research Tools page, click on Newspapers and then Courier-Journal. Here you can search articles, op-ed pieces, obituaries and more.
C) Try finding some specific journals. (See step 3 above.) Can you find the December 2010 issue of Consumer Reports?
D) Morningstar Investment Research Center is a great database for investors, whether you are a professional money manager or just monitoring your retirement investments. Morningstar provides in-depth and up-to-date data, charts and reports, on stocks, mutual funds, financial service providers, industries and more. Also, it provides an excellent glossary for those trying to make sense of financial jargon. On the Research Tools page click on Business and Money and scroll down to find Morningstar. When you open up the database, across the top you will see a row of tabs. Towards the end of the row is Help & Education, which can assist you with both finding your way around the database and understanding finance and investing. In the field under the Home tab that says Enter a ticker or name try Vanguard Target Retirement 2020. Take a minute to look over the profile of this mutual fund.
E) Business Reference USA is an excellent database for researching business demographics. You can search for franchises, business types (e.g., dry cleaners), or even a whole industry, and pull up everything from sales reports to management directories. Even better, you can narrow your search by geography, business size, yearly sales and more. From the Research Tools page, select Business and Money, then Business Reference USA. Once the database opens, move your mouse over where it says U.S. Businesses and click on the search option that pops up. On the following search page, there are two tabs. The first, Quick Search, allows you to search for an individual business. The second tab, Custom Search, allows you to do the more detailed searches described above.
F) Are you or someone you know preparing to take a test, such as the GED, SAT or ACT, GRE, MCAT? Studying for a certification exam to become a law enforcement officer, real estate agent, or electrician? Does your elementary school student need to strengthen his or her math or spelling skills? The Learning Express Library database provides study guides; timed, scored and corrected practice exams; and test-taking tips. You will find this database under the Test Preparation heading on the Research Tools page. When you open the database, look to the left side to find the different test categories. Once you find your practice test, you will be asked to create an account. This allows the database to track your performance, provide corrections to incorrect answers and suggest areas for improvement. Learning Express Library is an excellent resource for any test taker, whether a student or professional.
G) If you take care of your own car repairs, you definitely want to look over Auto Repair Reference Center. Auto Repair Reference Center provides detailed, step-by-step diagrams for various repairs, from electrical wiring to transmission, as well as recall notices and a labor calculator. Try finding your car in the database. Once you open up Auto Reference Repair Center, simply select the correct option as it is presented to you: year, make, model and submodel. Then you can choose your repair topic.

RX100 Slow Importations?
I've been using Sony's 'Play Memories Home' software to import photos and videos from my RX100 to Windows 7. This works OK except for when the SD card gets full past about 1GB, then it gets real slow. Seems the software takes forever to find out which photos are New before importing anything.
So what software are you using to import New photos and videos?
I need something faster and don't want to keep deleting stuff from the SD card.

TC TO JOHN TAYLOR; 6 February 1824; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18240206-TC-JTA-01; CL 3:28.
Kinnaird House, 8th [6?] Feby 1824—
Dear Sir,
I have kept this MS.1 an unconscionable time, for which however I am not without excuses. What is worst, I fear you will think it too long; tho' I have found it impossible to make it shorter, in consistency with preserving any shadow of symmetry between the first portions of the narrative and the last. You must do the best you can with it.
In regard to the proof-sheets, you will be so good as [to] direct them to Edinburgh, whither I am within a few hours of taking my departure. My brother's address is: Mr Carlyle, Student,— Robertson's lodgings, 35. Bristo-street: he will bring them to me.
I am still in good hopes of seeing you and your monstrous city in May. But I am in the most contemptible state of health; and the smoke and tumult and unutterable horrors of the place affright me. Meanwhile believe me always,
Dear Sir, / Most faithfully your's,
Th: Carlyle—

First, for you to qualify for a new credit card with a $30,000 credit limit, you'll have to have an excellent credit score. You'll also need to prove to your prospective credit card issuer that you have enough income to pay off a $30,000 debt pretty quickly if you need to.
Second, I want you to think about the overall impact your move will have on your credit score. Even if you score a great balance transfer credit card with a low introductory rate, you could throw your "credit utilization" out of balance. FICO and other credit scoring algorithms penalize you when any of your credit cards gets close to maxed out.
Third, there's hidden value in keeping your oldest credit card active. Again, credit scoring algorithms give you credit for loyalty. So, unless you're paying an absurd annual fee on your oldest card, try to keep it going.
Therefore, instead of closing two cards and maxing out the new one, a more realistic solution that still saves you money involves opening a third credit card and rebalancing your debt, so your credit utilization evens out across all three cards. Start by getting your balances below the halfway mark on all three cards, then throw everything you've got at that debt until you've paid it off. Some great balance transfer offers that can help you right now include:
The Chase and PenFed card run promotional introductory signup offers with no balance transfer fee for transfers made within a specified time frame and a low introductory purchase APR. Offers change frequently, so compare credit cards on our database to find the least expensive deal based on your current credit history.

I was going to write something here about the middle school I'm at this year, how overcrowded it is, and how sad it is that students from my former middle school now have to travel through some major intersections (many of them on foot) to get to their new school. I was distracted by my thoughts toward the end of the day, exhausted by the drama and issues that 6th-8th graders face in the community, when someone came bursting into my office and gave me one giant bear hug before I was able to really recognize her: Shoe Girl. (If you're new here, you'll have to read about Shoe Girl for some background on her. Suffice to say, she's important to me.)
I first dealt with her when I started this job over two years ago, when she was a tiny little 6th grader. She's in 8th grade now, and at the risk of sounding like a parent, she has grown up so much...She's a young lady now! When she finally let me out of the hug, she started talking quickly, "I'm so glad you're the nurse here, I've been looking for you but I keep coming on Thursdays and you're never here." She told me how things are going at home (pretty good), and at school (kind of okay, except for the kids picking on her because of her shoes). She invited me to hang out at her house after school one day, or maybe the park, and suggested that when she's done being an 8th grader, I could be her nurse at the high school, too. She told me how glad she was when I stopped by to see her last year, but how much more glad she was that I'm there every week now. With the interpersonal conflict that's been clouding my work lately, Shoe Girl was a breath of fresh air*. Thank goodness, my job has a purpose for at least one kid. As I walked her out, I reminded her I'm there on Wednesdays, and I have a feeling I will be seeing plenty of her this year.
*Not really. She still smells like stale cigarettes and unwashed clothes and hair.

I have a 60GB SSD showing as 55GB in properties, installed with Windows 7 as c: drive.
I selected everything in C drive and went to properties and it says 37GB but when I right click on the C drive and go to properties it shows 48GB used.
I am trying to understand where the extra 11 GB is.
I have changed the page file settings, and changed it to use 512mb, putting the main page file on an HDD disk but this made no difference after a reboot.
I have also made sure the recycle bin is empty.
Can anyone suggest what might be consuming the missing space?
