FREMONT -- James Logan High senior wrestler Artemio Flores has had his share of ups and downs in his high school career. Now he's doing his best to finish that career on a positive note.
Flores won the 126-pound division at the Mission Valley Athletic League championships at Mission San Jose High on Saturday, his second career league title.
Flores qualified for the California Interscholastic Federation state tournament his freshman year, but missed the postseason in his sophomore year with a knee injury.
This year, Flores has raised his expectations.
Flores is ranked ninth in the state at 132 pounds by thecaliforniawrestler.com. But he's dropped to the 126-pound class, where he will likely be the No. 1 seed for the North Coast Section championships Feb. 22-23 at Newark Memorial.
"I came into this season hungry and didn't want to leave anything on the table," Flores said. "Dropping down to 126 gives me a lot of confidence. I did a good job at 132, but I match up so much better at this division."
Clayton Hartwell, Flores' teammate, was in a similar situation a year ago for the Colts. He qualified for the state tournament but missed the event with a hyperextended elbow.
This year, Hartwell continued to dominate opponents with a pin to claim the 195-pound class.
Kennedy had its first league champion since 2002 when Dairus Wells upset Logan's Shoaib Rasooli 6-4 in the 182-pound division.
Jacob Macalolooy of Logan became a three-time league champion after the junior took home the title at 138 pounds. Logan won the league title with 252.5 points. Mission San Jose was second (114) and American was third (100.5).

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - IGS Energy says it will build and operate a $10 million network of compressed natural gas fueling stations for vehicles along Interstate 79 from Charleston to Mount Morris, Pa.
The plan the Ohio-based company announced Thursday calls for stations in Bridgeport, Charleston and Jane Lew, along with the one in southwest Pennsylvania.
President Scott White says it will serve the growing number of businesses and residents converting to natural gas vehicles.
The company says the so-called CNG Fueling Corridor is the first of its kind since Marcellus shale drilling began to take off.
Surging production has the gas industry seeking out new markets for its products. Companies are starting to focus more on the transportation sector.
They tout natural gas as a cheaper, cleaner alternative to gasoline and diesel.

Harry Clearwater
this wiki
- "The bears won't get a drop on me, Bella. My kung fu's strong."
- ―Harry[src]
Harry Clearwater was a tribal elder of the Quileute tribe, husband of Sue Clearwater, and father of Seth and Leah Clearwater. He was also a close friend of Charlie Swan's, the two of them sharing a love of fishing. Harry was happily married to Sue until he died of cardiac arrest in 2006. His Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined counterpart is Holly Clearwater.
He is portrayed by Graham Greene in the movie adaptation.
Harry is mentioned by Billy Black both in the film and the novel adaptation of Twilight, when Billy drops by the Swan's house to give Charlie some of Harry Clearwater's famous "fish fry."
New MoonEdit
In New Moon, Harry is first mentioned when he and his family are at the spaghetti dinner at the Blacks' house with Bella and Charlie. That night, his wife Sue teased him about his cholesterol and unsuccessfully tried to shame him into eating something "green and leafy".
Bella is conveniently able to send her father Charlie Swan to Harry's when she needs time alone with Edward. While Charlie is at the Clearwaters', he figures out that Harry had been having heart problems, but Harry manages to joke about it and make it appear insignificant.
When Bella finally learns that Jacob is a shape-shifter, Harry and Billy help keep Charlie out of range of Victoria who is killing hikers in the vicinity. On the morning of Bella's cliff diving expedition, Harry suffers a fatal heart attack and dies. There had been theories regarding Harry's death, the first being that the sudden transformation of Seth and Leah into werewolves provoked his heart attack and subsequent death,[1] and the second being that their transformation was caused by the shock of losing their father. It was confirmed in The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide that it was Leah's unexpected transformation that caused his heart attack while Seth's transformation was caused by the shock of his death.
In the New Moon film, his heart attack was the result of an encounter with Victoria. He saw Victoria stand behind the unsuspecting Charlie and tried to shoot her, but she caught him before he could fire his gun. Jacob pushed her out of the way and Harry landed on the ground when his heart attack began. Charlie found him and tried to help him to no avail. Jacob later told Bella that he was 'gone'.
His seat on the Quileute Council was filled by his wife Sue, who would take care of the humans who learned about the shape-shifters' world.

Graham Greene portrays Harry Clearwater in the film adaptation of New Moon.

It is often difficult for those who look on the tradition of the Red Man from the outside or through the "educated" mind to understand that no object is what it appears to be, but it is simply the pale shadow of a Reality. It is for this reason that every created object is wakan, holy, and has a power according to the loftiness of the spiritual reality it reflects.

I opened a topic for this problem in "General Support / Network / Video / Streaming Help", but there seems no solution to it. The topic can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2282
As stated in topic I am on a shared LAN. I want to restrict two consoles (PS3, Xbox 360) to PMS using the ip filter. But with the current version it seems it isnt possible to add multiple IP's. I think it isnt a very complicated addition to PMS to check multiple IP for access.
What my views are:
1. Two input boxes for IP and MAC filter
2. Seperated by spaces or comma's
(3. Time schedule for particular IP's/MAC's)
Thanks in advance

Since 1951, the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge, near Canton, has provided home and shelter to a number of native Kansan wildlife, including bison and elk. But the history behind the creation of the refuge, including the background of the family for which it was named, was largely a mystery. Until McPherson resident Miriam Worden began researching their background.
Worden said her undertaking began as a hobby, as her four sons, then in high school, would often spend time at the reserve. When she began asking about the background of the family, Worden said nobody could provide any solid answers on the Maxwell family history.
"It was if they never existed," Worden said.
Worden said she then took it upon herself to delve deeper into the family history, digging back through Kansas archives from the 1800s, as well as contacting modern-day descendants of the family.
"It became my little project; my little hobby," Worden said.
Worden discovered the the origins of the Maxwell family in Kansas began with John Gault Maxwell Sr., a Scottish-born businessman who was heading west during the gold rush of the late 1800s. Worden said Maxwell Sr. fell in love with Kansas during his travels west. Returning with his New York-born wife, Emma Alice Maxwell, Maxwell Sr. began to establish a home and a name in McPherson County despite the hardships of the wilderness, including the occasional skirmish with nearby Native Americans.
But the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge was the dream of his sons, John Gault Maxwell Jr., the first known white child born in McPherson County, and his brother Henry Irving Maxwell. In an article, Worden indicates the brothers both wished to leave the state of Kansas with the gift of a wild animal refuge after their deaths.
And so they did. In Henry's will, he requested his administrators buy what is now the Maxwell Wildlife Reserve, and to provide suitable shelter for buffalo and antelope.
The Maxwell Wildlife Refuge is at 2565 Pueblo Road in Canton and is the only wildlife refuge in the state of Kansas. Today, it provides shelter to more than 200 buffalo and 100 elk.
Worden's work has received a number of recognition from historical and biographical organizations, including Kansas Fish & Game, The University of Kansas and a nomination in the biographical Who's Who in America.

STOCKTON - A pig, a turkey, a miniature horse, a goat and a 2,200-pound bull named Nighthawk were all on display as part of a Bear Creek High School petting zoo Thursday afternoon, one of a series of events celebrating a new Future Farmers of America program at the north Stockton school.
"It's national FFA week, and since this is the first year we've ever had FFA here, we wanted to go big," said agricultural science teacher and FFA adviser Tiffany Trexler.
Students staged a week's worth of lunchtime events including the petting zoo. Earlier in the week, there was a potato sack race, a nail-driving contest, a duct-tape dress up day and other events to celebrate FFA.
"I think it's a big deal because a lot of students here haven't been around animals or know anything about them," said junior Ryan Null, 16. "We're doing some agriculture recruitment, so hopefully a lot of freshman will come into the program as sophomores."
Bear Creek had never had an FFA program until Lodi Unified trustees placed an emphasis on creating more career and technical education courses at its four comprehensive high schools.
Bear Creek decided it would start an agriculture program.
A greenhouse was built on campus, and a small farm area is also in the development stages. Students are expected to raise turkeys through donations next school year.
Trexler and her colleague, Kristen Graham, were both excited to see more student involvement and growth of the program.
Graham was perhaps less excited for another role she held Thursday.
"I was selected to kiss the pig," she said, moments before a mob of students surrounded her and the pig with cellphone cameras at the ready.

Mother's Day in México is celebrated on May 10th, and for this year, I wanted to give my mom a unique present. I found beautiful lacquered boxes at the local handcraft stores, and I immediately knew that this would be the perfect present. From the artist I found out that these boxes come from a small town Olinalá, located miles up in the Guerrero Mountains.
This remote town Olinalá is famous for its beautiful lacquered boxes, made from "Linaloe", the traditional fragrant wood, which grows in the area. The boxes are usually decorated with the animals of the region of Olinalá: deers, armadillos, rabbits, coyotes, 'tlacuaches', iguanas, doves, 'zopilotes', snakes, scorpions, lizards, etc. Besides the boxes, the artisans also produce other beautiful handcrafts like fruit bowls, masks, jewelry boxes, folding screens, trunks, and more.
The artisans have been passing the techniques for lacquer production from generation to generation since pre-Hispanic times. These artisans, who are predominately made up of indigenous locals, still speak 'nahuatl', the ancient language of Aztecs.
When you visit Capella Ixtapa, it won't be necessary to go all the way to the remote location of Olinalá to get some of these famed lacquered boxes and other wood handcrafts. You can find these and other beautiful and delicate handcrafts in the Zihuatanejo market.
I have now the perfect gift for my Mom, it is beautiful and I love supporting local producers. On your next visit, our Personal Assistant will be glad to organize the market tour for you, so you can see and/or buy beautiful local handcrafts for your loved ones as well! And for those of you feeling extra adventures our PAs can even plan a visit to this secluded village!

I want to start this post by dedicating it to one of my friends very special sister. It was her yahrtzeit (anniversary of her passing) last Shabbos. Like my Rozie she was born with Down syndrome , but unlike Rozie who has been blessed to be born in a a time where understanding and acceptance is growing and improving. She was born in the 1950s, and was immediately put in a home for children with special needs. This was common practice in those times. Even though my friend did not know her sister well like Rozie's brothers know her, i want to take this time to honor her sister and may her lofty Neshama have an Aliyah, and we should all meet again very soon when Moshiach comes.
This summer has been the summer of trips. Last summer i was paralyzed by my new diagnosis and wasn't quite sure how to continue my summer, but this year it is a different story. I want to tour the world, ok maybe just places within an hour drive, but even so the fire has been lit.
We have gone to tour a potato chip factory, the National Dental Museum, farms, beaches, and have many more trips to come including some beach camping, whooohooo!
I love taking my children to new places and watching their little faces light up with excitement as they learn and see new things. This is especially exciting for my Rozie because so much is new for her.
I usually quickly unbuckle her little straps and lift her out of the stroller to help give her a better view of the excitement. As i lift my precious baby into my arms i can see the looks. Sometimes its a look of pity, sometimes its a look of fear, other times it is a connection, but there is always a look.
I have gotten use to this i know its going to happen and honestly i don't care anymore.It is so much more important to me that Rozie gets a good view of the potato slicing ,dicing, and salting machine, then worry about wandering eyes.
I have grown a thick layer of skin, kind of a reflective field that special needs parent have to grow, and i hear it gets stronger and stronger. I reflect the stares and i can zap the looks, but i still struggle with the words. Every once in awhile someone will make a little comment or start up a conversation with me, and my reflectors for some reason do not work as well.
A woman came up to me the other day and asked how old Rozie was, and i said two. She then offered me the most surprised look , with a slack jaw and all and announced in loud words "TWO, how can she be two she is so tiny"? This is not an uncommon conversation for me and usually at this point i grab my Dovie,who likes to hold strong in the 5% on the growth charts in height and say "look at my Dovie he is almost 5 and still wears toddler shoes". This often deflects from Rozie ( poor Dovie)."We are just a small family" i usually say. This often keeps the comments at bay and the subject is changed. This woman was not easily deflected and went right back to Rozie and commented again about how little she is ( like i don't know lady).
She then proceeded to tell me how lucky i was because she will not hit her terrible twos. I looked at her and said "do you think her size has anything to do with behavior and hitting terrible and not so terrible stages"? "Just because she is small she is still two , and trust me she acts like it". This lovely lady looked at me like i was speaking a foreign language and walked away. This unfortunately was not my first naive conversation and i have heard words like slow, the r-word, downsy ( whatever that means) ,downs baby, and many other not so nice words to describe my daughter. My reflector suit some days just gets worn down.
I stared thinking about the stupid things people said to me and i realized i probably thought and often would of said the same tings, because i use to be just as naive. I really never had much experience with anyone with Down syndrome or any other type of special needs.I know i often had empathy , but not understanding. I was smart enough to keep my mouth shut when i was put in a situation, but i know my mind was thinking the dumbest stuff. I decided to make a list , kind of a Do's and Dont's of the special needs world. This is mostly Down syndrome related( because that is what i know) but im sure a lot of it can be applied to most children and their families with special needs.
1. We like child first language, and i will correct you so please don't be offended. A baby with Down syndrome, not a Down syndrome baby, i hate that. And even worse a Downs baby. Notice Down is capitalized and syndrome is not . That is because Down was the name of the physician that identified Trisomy 21. My baby does not belong to him so please don't call her Downs, Downsy, or anything like it. That one really gets me.
2. Please ask kind and considerate questions without assumptions. If you are curious about something please ask , don't just stare. Staring is rude, didn't your mommy teach you that. If you want to know why my daughter isn't walking , ask me. I'll happily explain. Please don't make assumptions and approach me that way "Oh i see your daughter cant walk, People with Down syndrome don't walk until they are adults , right"? These assumptions wear me down and cause me to say things that i am often not proud of. Please ask but don't assume.
3. Again just ask me . I will answer all your questions in the best way i can. I actually love answering questions about Down syndrome and will probably talk your head off with statistics and information. Again questions are great, assumptions are painful.
4. Lastly please please don't ever use the R-word to describe my daughter, or any other child with special needs or cognitive differences.I don't care if it is a joke or being used in a medical term, it hurts and causes the special needs community great amounts of pain to hear this word. Words like differences are wonderful, differences are appreciated, but retardation, I'm not interested in that word.
I hope everyone has an easy and meaningful fast tomorrow and together with Ahavas Yisroel we find respect for people in this world no matter their ability. Moshiach Now!
If you are interested in reading a fictional book about a baby born with Down syndrome in the 1950s i highly recommend the book a "Memory Keeper's Daughter" this book was thought provoking and moving. You can get it here

Someone is pretty confident in the "Avatar" franchise.
More than 13 months after Sigourney Weaver revealed James Cameron was planning to make three "Avatar" sequels instead of two, the news became official on Thursday, according to the Huffington Post. Cameron will cowrite the three sequels simultaneously with four different screenwriters.
According to Variety, Cameron will collaborate with Josh Friedman ("War of the Worlds"), Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver ("Rise of the Planets of the Apes"), and Shane Salerno ("Savages") on the screenplays for "Avatar 2," "Avatar 3" and "Avatar 4." Twentieth Century Fox will release the movies from 2016 through 2018, each time likely in December.
Cameron told MTV that his idea for "Avatar 4" was a prequel.
"I haven't really put pen to paper on it, but basically it goes back to the early expeditions of Pandora, and kind of what went wrong with the humans and the Na'vi and what that was like to be an explorer and living in that world," Cameron said in Sept. of 2012. "We'll start, not imitating 'Star Wars, but it's a logical thing to do because we'll have completed the thematic arc by the end of three."
James Cameron may be able to buy his own planet by then.

Palladino: Maya, Mikyla power Hearts
It was Maya, it was Mikyla and it was victory for Sacred Heart.
The two seniors, Maya Eggleston and Mikyla Jacobs, combined for 41 of Sacred Heart High's 47 points in a 47-42 girls basketball victory over Torrington on Wednesday at the Connie Donahue Gymnasium.
In the opener for both teams, the Hearts and the Raiders produced the kind of tight, tense basketball that we should see all season in the Naugatuck Valley League.
And the NVL also learned something: If you can't deal with Jacobs, who is back after missing all of 2012-13 with an injury, or Eggleston, who returns to the NVL after playing two seasons with Hyde Leadership in New Haven, then you are in trouble against the Hearts.
Eggleston scored 17 points, with eight rebounds, three assists and three steals, while Jacobs scored 24, with 12 boards and an 11-of-14 night from the free throw line.
Sacred Heart (1-0) needed that effort. The Hearts turned the ball over liberally, 21 times to be exact. That helped the Raiders (0-1) stay close.
But what offset the turnover issues was rebounding. The Hearts held a 37-20 edge. The smaller Raiders were overwhelmed off the glass. Mahne Sahn grabbed nine rebounds and Maryn Vaillancourt five.
Everyone rebounded.
"We lost the rebounding battle," said Torrington coach Mike Fritch. "That is what hurt us the most. That's one of our weaknesses right now. They killed us on the boards. And the two kids, we knew what they could do."
The two kids, Jacobs and Eggleston, turned it on in the second half. Jacobs admitted to a bit of nerves in the first quarter.
"It took me awhile," Jacobs said. "It was my first time back on the court, and I had to adjust. I had to get my head in the game and correct my mistakes."
While Jacobs found her game in the second half, scoring 19 of her 24 points, all of the Hearts found something else.
"It all came from defense," Jacobs said.
Eggleston agreed.
"It was defense," she said. "We had to pull together and make sure we got on the shooters. We played hard and got rebounds."
The Hearts took the game over with a 12-2 run late in the third quarter and early in the fourth. All 12 points came from Maya and Mikyla. Meanwhile, the Hearts held Torrington without a field goal for 5:40 in the fourth quarter and without a point for close to four minutes.
"It was definitely clear that we need to work on rebounding," said Torrington's Caroline Teti, who led the Raiders with 14 points. "We need to attack the basket when we have some slow moments."
"We overcame a lot of turnovers, especially in the second half," said Hearts coach Ryan Sullivan. "We like to keep a lot of teams in the game with our turnovers."
But the key to this victory, Sullivan said, was defense.
"To hold Torrington, up here, to 42 points, is a tremendous accomplishment," he said.
And, as Fritch added, "Those two kids beat us."
Yes, they did, Maya and Mikyla.

Google (GOOG) faced an avalanche of criticism Friday as regulators, digital rights activists and consumer groups harshly criticized the Internet giant's deliberate decision to override the privacy controls in the Web browsers of Apple (AAPL) iPhone and Mac users.
Given that Google has been under a privacy microscope, the latest in a series of stumbles by the Internet giant left many observers even more perplexed and troubled than Google's actions in the past -- even if they accepted the company's assertion that the privacy problems caused by its changes to Apple's Safari browser were inadvertent.
"What this really marks is a significant breach of user trust," said Danny Sullivan, editor-in-chief of Search Engine Land and a veteran Google watcher, who has defended the company against its legion of critics in the past. "Google deliberately worked around something in Safari to make ads work in the way it wanted them to work, regardless of whether the user wanted that or not."
The breach also suggests, some critics said, a willingness at Google to compromise its famous "Don't be evil" principles in the heat of its intense rivalry with Facebook and other competitors for digital advertising dollars.
"I think there is this relentless search for data that the actual user is not aware of. So I think it is happening overall in the industry," said Lori Andrews, a law professor at the Chicago-Kent College of Law and author of the book "I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did," about data collection in the Internet advertising industry.
Google had privacy problems with its ill-fated Buzz social network in 2010, its collection of data from unprotected home and business Wi-Fi networks through its Street View cars that same year and a dispute only last month over changes to its privacy policies.
The revelations Thursday appear certain to draw more attention from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Last year, after an investigation of the Buzz privacy issue, the FTC ordered Google to undergo independent privacy reviews for 20 years and make other broad privacy changes.
Google denies it was trying to track people's online behavior when it bypassed built-in privacy protections in Apple's Safari browser. The Google code was discovered by Stanford University researcher Jonathan Mayer.
The company's own website, until recently, said Safari users did not have to make setting changes to block Google's so-called tracking "cookies."
But Google last year began taking advantage of a feature in Apple's browser that allows users to access social networking features like Facebook's "Like" button and Google's "+1" button to see personalized ads and other content, the search company said in a written statement. The effect of those changes, Google said, was that the company's own advertising tracking cookies were inadvertently placed on users' browsers, leaving the statement on Google's website untrue.
Google removed that statement this week, after it was confronted by The Wall Street Journal with Mayer's research.
Cookies are small bits of software code that act like an automobile license plate for a Web browser, allowing marketers and data aggregators such as Google's DoubleClick ad network to catalog users' browsing history to deduce their desires and interests. They are a key to the $36.5 billion in advertising revenue Google recorded in 2011.
Mayer said in an interview with this newspaper Friday that the Safari breach likely affected millions of iPhone and Mac users, although he said he has not calculated exactly how many people were affected.
Google "is a company that asks users to place a lot of trust with them, organizing the world's information, and increasingly organizing your information, and of course with the corporate ethic of 'Don't be evil,' " Mayer said. "So I think it's right to hold Google to a higher standard. They are supposed to have the best engineers; they are supposed to have the best lawyers. They are supposed to be a role model for industry. ... This definitely falls short of the standard Google is supposed to meet."
If the FTC determines that Google violated its Buzz settlement order the company could face penalties of up to $16,000 per violation per day per user.
The FTC, Congress and several state attorneys general already are investigating Google's search dominance on antitrust grounds. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-West Virginia, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, said Friday that he would examine the Safari incident. And three other Congress members, Reps. Ed Markey, D-Mass., Joe Barton, R-Texas, and Cliff Sterns, R-Fla., also asked the agency to look into whether the Safari breach violates its recent settlement with Google.
An agency spokeswoman said Friday the FTC is aware of the Safari issue, but she declined to comment on the possibility of an investigation.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center complained to the agency Friday about the latest privacy revelation.
"What they said about how this would work for Safari users turned out not to be true," said Marc Rotenberg, EPIC's executive director. "And they benefited (financially) from this."
The breach brought strong criticism from groups such as Consumer Watchdog, the Association for Competitive Technology and the Center for Democracy & Technology. It could lead to renewed efforts in Congress to require features that block tracking cookies to be included in all major Web browsers.
"We've always thought a big privacy event could pretty well drive legislation" for Do Not Track features, said Justin Brookman, CDT's director of consumer privacy. "That's what we could see coming out of this."
For its part, an embattled Google on Friday continued to stand by a statement that its placement of advertising cookies on Safari browsers was inadvertent.
"We didn't anticipate that this would happen, and we have now started removing these advertising cookies from Safari browsers. It's important to stress that, just as on other browsers, these advertising cookies do not collect personal information," Google said in a written statement.
Critics countered that cookies do allow digital marketers to identify a user's browser.
Saying cookies don't themselves collect information "is not the same thing as saying that as a result of this, no personal information was leaked about you, or there was no change in the information that websites were able to collect about you or associate to you," said Lee Tien, senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San Francisco digital rights group.

Nordstrom's piano man says farewell Feb 06 2013
Because of "the evolving experience in the stores" (aka live music is too expensive), after 27 years of playing the piano at Nordstrom in the Tacoma Mall, Juan Perez was let go in January.
Perez remembers his audition at Nordstrom, one morning in January 1986.
"There were five of us. Four beautiful young ladies, and me. They were carrying music books."
They were dressed, he said, as if they had shopped at Nordstrom. He was not. They were carrying sheet music. Perez did not, and does not, read notes. He plays by ear.

Using Truncation for Expanding Results in Database Searching
Run time: 2:20 | Requires Flash Player. | Transcript
(object placeholder)
Welcome to this Information and Library Services' tutorial on using truncation for expanded results in database searching. This tutorial will take about 2 minutes to review.
Ever needed to search for a particular term, but because there were so many variations of the term, you didn't know what to use?
Take the word manage, for example. Variations include: manager, management, managerial, managing, and managed.
How do you search library databases for all those variations? By using truncation! By placing a truncation symbol at the end of a root word, you can search a database for all the variations of that word.
Many databases use an asterisk or question mark for the truncation symbol, but check the search tips in the database to be certain.
Let's say, for example, that you are interested in researching how managers affect employee morale. Type manag* in the first search box…
and type "employee morale" in the second search box. Since we're searching for the phrase employee morale, we're putting quotation marks around the words.
Our search using truncation brought back 2,258 results.
If we had searched manager and employee morale, we would have retrieved only 546 results.
Be careful to not place the truncation symbol too far back.
For example, if you typed man followed by an asterisk in the search box, your search would bring back all the variations of manage, but also, man, mangle, manufacturing, etc. Since many databases automatically search for plural forms of your search term, this search would also bring back men.
Truncation is a great tool to optimize and expand your search results. Check the database's search tips to determine the correct truncation symbol. And choose the placement of the truncation symbol wisely, to avoid irrelevant results.
To learn more about truncation, as well as other searching tips and techniques, please visit our library web site. You can contact the library 24/7 for help with any of your research needs. Thank you for viewing this tutorial.

Portrait of Théodore Duret
After the tumultuous exhibition of the Olympia (Paris, Musée d'Orsay) that scandalised the Salon in 1865, Manet left for Spain to forget the persecution he experienced at the hands of the Parisian critics. During this short stay, he happened to meet Théodore Duret, who was dining at the same restaurant.
The new friends decided to discover Madrid together by strolling along its picturesque side streets, watching bullfights, and going to see the works of Greco in Toledo. Their visit to Prado was mainly devoted to Velazquez, whom Manet admiringly called "the painter of painters".
Following a process borrowed from the Spanish master, Manet placed his model in a neutral space, with no boundary between the floor and walls. Only the shadows at the feet of the figure and the stool give an impression of depth. We possess a direct account of the conception of this painting thanks to the biography that Duret devoted to Manet in 1926. According to the author, the still life placed at the bottom left on a stool was added at the end, with Manet completing his painting with the luminous touch of the lemon.
As a cognac trader, Théodore Duret (1838-1929) was a keen traveller, out of professional necessity but also out of choice. He was one of the first people to take an interest in Far Eastern art and played an important role in popularising Japanism. A committed Republican, he founded the journal La Tribune (1868), with collaborators including Émile Zola and Jules Ferry. As an art critic and collector, he established himself as one of the leading proponents of the Impressionists through his purchases and publications. The portrait emphasises the dandy side of the model, who was known for his elegance.
Not without a touch of humour, Duret wrote, "I find your chap very gallant," in his letter of thanks to the painter when he received this painting as a sign of their close friendship. He would only let go of it many years later, to donate it to the Petit Palais.

Project Number: 6026-51000-010-01
Start Date: Aug 01, 2010
End Date: Jul 31, 2015
Children (infants, toddlers, and school-aged youths) will be studied longitudinally to evaluate the effects of infant diet (such as, breast-milk, dairy- and soy-based formulas, and other formulas) on physiological, behavioral and cognitive development in infants and children. Nutritional status assessments, anthropometric measurements, urine and blood analysis, and measures of psychological, neuropsychological, and cognitive measures will be obtained and analyzed. The effects of diet composition, meal patterns, and meal frequency on brain function and behavioral dynamics that are important for learning and school performance in normal and overweight school children will be assessed using validated survey instruments and state-of-the-art research equipment. Neurocognitive function will be characterized that contributes to or is a consequence of obesity in children, including brain-function correlates of food-seeking behavior.

OAKLAND -- Anthony lived a bachelor's life with his brother, Eugene, at the Oakland Zoo. He's a blue-eyed lemur, one of the 25 most endangered primates in the world.
But when he and Dern, a female blue-eyed lemur who recently relocated, met, the two literally couldn't keep their hands off each other. It was love at first sight.
"The minute that we introduced them together, they just fell in love," said Elizabeth Abram, lead lemur keeper. "When they saw each other, they ran to each other. They were grooming, reaching for each other through the fence."
She said that initially Anthony and Dern were supposed to stay separated for two days but instead were separated for about two minutes.
Oakland zookeepers are crossing their fingers, hoping that the two reproduce. So far, it's looking good. Though this isn't breeding season for blue-eyed lemurs, the two have already copulated, which means Dern could possibly give birth twice in the next year.
That would help the blue-eyed lemur's numbers. Though it's difficult to count how many are in the wild in Madagascar, the most recent research estimates that populations could be as low as 2,700 individuals. Only 28 live in captivity in the United States, so genetic diversity is a problem.
As part of a species survival program, biologists at the Association of Zoos and Aquariums crunch data to determine which captive blue-eyed lemurs are the most genetically appropriate to breed. Anthony and Dern were a match.
If the couple gives birth to a female, that would benefit the gene pool.
"We need more females in the population for breeding. The population is very skewed for more males," said Andrea Skatz, the curator at the Duke Lemur Center, where efforts to breed blue-eyed lemurs in captivity began in the mid-1990s.
"We have 11 males and four females. A female from the Oakland pair would be great."
Abram said a female would be fantastic and twin females would be even more so.
Next week, the Oakland Zoo hopes to bring four ringtail lemurs back into the main exhibit with Anthony and Dern. They have been separated because lemurs are territorial and matriarchal.
Abram said that their time alone was like a honeymoon.
Deeper into fall's breeding season, zoo visitors likely will see the lemurs communicating through scent marking. Blue-eyed lemurs have glands on the top of their heads and around their genital area, which they use to leave their scent throughout their habitat.
Blue-eyed lemurs are also the only other primates other than humans to have blue eyes. However, only the males are black. The females are a lighter reddish brown.
This species has a life expectancy of about 30 years. Dern is 17, and Anthony is 16. Abram said their age is telling of how rare blue-eyed lemurs are.
"We're just all walking around hoping for baby lemurs," she said.
And as for brother Eugene, he's also found love. He was transferred to a zoo in Minnesota to mate.
"They sent us a picture of them holding each other," Abram said. It looks like they're in love, too.

FREMONT -- When Leon and Marilyn Goheen moved into their house on quiet, residential Robin Street nearly 50 years ago, they believed they had found their suburban oasis.
Unfortunately for the couple, the city soon thereafter built Grimmer Boulevard -- a busy curving thoroughfare that residents describe as a veritable "Dead man's Curve."
Over the years, residents say at least 14 accidents -- some fatal -- have involved vehicles traveling along Grimmer, on which two lanes run in each direction behind their homes. Eight of those were motorists who smashed through the Goheens' backyard fence, which borders the Irvington and South Sundale neighborhoods.
Leon Goheen said the problem has compromised his family's quality of life, making it difficult for him to relax with his grandchildren in their pool or their well-traveled backyard.
"Once, our son was sitting in our backyard when a skidding car caused him to run toward our house for safety," he told the City Council on Tuesday. "That's what we live with every day."
And the problem may be worsening. Within the past month, one motorist died after crashing into a neighboring home, and another was injured when his vehicle plowed through the Goheens' fence.
"Had this one gone into the pool, the driver would have drowned because he was pinned inside the vehicle," Goheen said. "When rainfall comes, there will be more accidents."
The area's neighbors say Grimmer Boulevard, whose curve radius is 580 feet for its outside lane, causes accidents because it is not properly designed. Also, a 35 MPH speed limit sign along the turn has been ineffective in deterring speedsters, Goheen said.
The neighbors have made several suggestions for slowing traffic, including the installation of a guard rail between the curb and sidewalk or an electric sign flashing the word "Slow."
"We can't keep having these accidents," said Carol LaFleur, a longtime Fremont resident. "It's a definite problem; we need a resolution."
City officials said they have begun discussing solutions but still are in the preliminary stages. Norm Hughes, Fremont's city engineer, said they are looking into enhancing the boulevard's existing signage to help remind motorists about the approaching curve or applying a high-friction coating to the roadway so vehicles do not slide while driving around the corner.
They are considering installing a guard rail though they typically are not used in a city setting, Hughes said. "Hitting a guard rail can be dangerous for motorists," he said.
Unless some type of change is made soon, it's just a matter of time before there's another accident, Goheen said. "Lives have been lost and that's unbearable," he said.

Chanel and Essence
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 1:36:21 PM in Chanel (26)
There is no telling where a few strands of dreams and a cupful of determination can take you. For Coco Chanel, it led to a highly diversified fashion empire that continued to expand even well after her lifetime. Chanel had started out in the early 1900's on Boulevard Malesherbes, the first items were delicate high fashion hats handmade personally by Coco. And as a woman with high hopes, she determined and dreamed for greater things. The "little black dress" of Chanel started a fashion revolution among the working class, post-war women who thought it was a much better choice to wear Chanel's fashion as their primary preoccupation started to shift from just home to home and day job. Until now, the brand is still associated with woman empowerment and modernity. Now a multinational label, Chanel's collections also includes luxury jewelry, perfumes, jewelry watches, high fashion outfits and other little things that remind today's woman of being empowered.
Check out Chanel at Shreve & Co. in Palo Alto.

Cheerful, Pure, Serene
The perfect harmony of woman with nature.
Natural Chic
There is a charming sensation from the very first notes of this floral fragrance, which are carried along in a deliciously heady current of crushed Mint, with a zest of Italian "Limone Primo Fiore Femminello", harvested from the first spring blossoms in Calabria. At its base, Acqua di Gioia perfume bears the signature of water rooted in the Earth, revealed by luscious LMR Cedarwood Heart sprinkled with sensuous Brown Sugar and Labdanum, which is one of the rare plants to possess animal notes. A beautiful fresh scent ideal for the warm season.

Rated 3 out of 5 by mpiry from Not like acqua di gio This is a solid fragrance, but it doesn't stand up to acqua di gio for me. I would recommend it though, it is very pleasant. And I think some would love this. It just didn't have that feminine charm like acqua di gio, i never get compliments when i wear it! I wouldn't buy it again, but it is nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Zhooly from Love this scent! This perfume is so luscious I could bathe in it. I originally got it for the summer but love it so, and have gotten so many compliments on it (including men asking what are you wearing? so as to get it for their girlfriends) and even though I got a more dramatic scent for winter, I can't help but come back to this one that I love. It's light enough to wear during the day w/o being overpowering, yet can be nicely layered at night w/ the Parfum to last through the evening. Divine day or night, very Milano, chic. Don't leave home w/o the rollerball!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jane from Good but... I took a risk when I bought this without trying it first and thinking it would be similar to Acqua Di Gio. It's a lot stronger and more intense than I expected and I thought I would grow to like it in time. Unfortunately, it's still not my cup of tea.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lyn93 from My new favorite perfume! This is my new favorite perfume, I have never finished a bottle of perfume as fast as I have with this one. I finished a 1.7 oz bottle in about 5 months because I would wear this perfume almost every day and I have not gotten sick of this perfume yet. I am almost half way through my second bottle of Acqua di Gioia (a 3.4 oz.) And I plan on getting another one soon. :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by BigNB from Breath of Fresh Air This scent is truly a breath of fresh air. It's feminine without being too sweet. It's subtle yet long-lasting. It's elegant and modern yet never overpowers. I notice people around me, breathing it in when I wear it. It's a very peaceful, uplifting fragrance.

Over the past few years, Yaoundé has transformed itself from a peaceful, sleepy colonial settlement to a friendly, lively city with a lot of sights and local markets.
Yaoundé, which is the capital of Cameroon, has a population of about 1 million. The city is situated in the hilly western part of Cameroon, about 160 kilometres from the Atlantic.
Essential sights include the "Centre Artisinal", which is a covered marketplace where local artists sell their masterpieces, the Benedictine Monastery with the Museum of Cameroon Art and, in the west of Yaoundé, the Museum of Black Art.
To have a nice meal or paint the town red, you should visit the Messa, Mokola and Briqueterie districts in the north of the city.

Technical Abstract: Because of increased resistance to insecticides in arthropods, it is necessary to identify new chemicals that may have novel modes of action. Following an extensive literature search for compounds with insecticidal and mosquito repellent activity, we have designed and synthesized a set of 20 trifluoromethylphenyl amides. These compounds were evaluated for toxicity against Aedes aegypti larvae and adults, for repellency against female Ae. aegypti and Anopheles albimanus, and for fungicidal activity against fungal species. Selected compounds were evaluated for toxicity against Drosophila melanogaster and, unlike fipronil, showed full activity against a resistant strain having an altered gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor. The most potent compounds from this initial evaluation were used to design and synthesize 14 additional derivatives. From the bioassays of these amides, two compounds, N-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetamide and N-(2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropanamide, repelled Ae. aegypti at lower concentration than DEET. These same two compounds and 2-chloro-N-(2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetamide exhibited comparable fungicidal activity to the standards, azoxystrobin and captan, against Phomopsis viticola and Colletotrichum acutatum fungi. In the future, we plan to conduct a QSPR study using the insecticidal activity of all 34 trifluoromethylphenyl amides as the properties for input into the model.

This idea for crafty fun is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Valerie Deneen.
Enjoy crafting with your kids!
Kids love to play games, and games are even more fun when you can make them yourself! This little project combined two of my daughter's favorite activities — playing games and stamping! It's quick and easy to do.
First, gather your materials. You will need a set of stamps. We love our Fairy Stamp a Scene Set from Melissa & Doug! The stamps are well-made and easy for little hands to hold. You will also need an ink pad, some index cards, and a pair of scissors.
Fold each index card in half, then invite your child over to stamp on the back of the cards. Stamp one of each image onto the left side of the fold, and then the right side.
Next, cut each index card in half along the folded line. My daughter loved this part, as she is particular fond of using her safety scissors!
Continue making the cards until you've used all the stamps you would like.
Now it's time to PLAY! Place each of the cards face down on a table, and try to make a match.
Yay! A match!!
Or… wrap up your cards to give to a special friend!
Have fun!!
