Organic Cotton Prefolds ... a classic & dependable diapering method.
The highest quality fabric and manufacturing available makes these the best prefold inserts that you can buy. Also known as Diaper Service Prefolds or Chinese Prefolds, these are the same style of diapers used in diaper services across Canada designed for repeated, industrial-style washing and drying. One big difference between OUR prefolds and prefolds used by diaper services is that these are UN-bleached and ORGANIC. Unbleached, organic prefolds are softer, more absorbent, contain less toxins and will last longer than a bleached version as well as being void of the chemicals and dioxins used during the bleaching process. You won't be disappointed in these cloth diapers.
Why you'll love using Organic Cotton Indian Prefolds:
- Diaper Service Quality (DSQ) prefolds that are loved by diaper services & moms alike.
- Finally an economical organic cotton option in cloth diapers.
- Maximum absorbency is suitable for day use, heavy wetters & even overnight.
- Superior construction & quality fabrics make these the BEST prefolds you will find available in Canada.
- Highly adjustable to the build of your baby based on the folding technique that is used.
- Organic cotton prefolds are extra soft & incredibly durable!
- Unbleached ORGANIC cotton has not been damaged by the harmful bleaching process making these one incredibly soft & durable diapering option.
- Void of all unnecessary chemicals during the production process.
- Natural in color, thus hiding stains better.
- Strong stitching will hold up to repeated washing & drying with hot temperatures.
- Highly absorbent with 8 center layers of cotton!
- Trim & easy to use with a Snappi Cloth Diaper Fastener - no pins required.
- Economical! Many parents use one-size from infant straight through to potty learning (Premium size).
- Practical - these diapers have many uses for well beyond your diapering days.
- Easy care. Machine wash & dry.
- Responsibly made in India from 100% organic, sustainably grown cotton.
Organic Cotton Indian Prefolds are unmatched in quality and absorbency when compared to standard cotton or Chinese prefolds. Your prefolds will arrive rather flat looking, however, after a few washes to remove the natural oils that are present, they will quilt up beautifully making them super soft and plush. Maximum absorption is reached after about 6-8 washes. As with anything that is 100% cotton, please expect a minimum 10% shrinkage.
|Prefolds Size
|After Washing
|4-9 lbs
|8-15 lbs
|15-40 lbs
We've included both washed and unwashed dimensions for our prefolds. These are all approximate and may vary slightly from batch to batch. The average Chinese prefold is 12"x15" for the Infant sized prefolds (UN-washed) and 14"x20" for the Premium size. As you can see, the dimensions are almost identical - it's the quality and softness of the cotton that will be a more important concern.
Available in Infant and Premium (Regular) size, buy our Indian Organic Cotton Prefolds in bulk for the best value. Finally an economical organic cotton option in cloth diapers! Always in stock and ready for immediate shipping.
Unbleached ORGANIC Cotton Prefolds are the best of the best and you won't find better quality prefolds than these in Canada. Our custom organic cotton prefolds are the softest, highly absorbent, hard-to-find, pure 100% ORGANIC cotton twill weave diapers that are imported directly from Pakistan. These are the same GREAT quality as conventional diaper service quality unbleached Indian prefolds, with all the benefits of organic cotton. Soft, durable, environmentally friendly, and best of all, affordable.
These are the real thing! Diaper Service Quality (DSQ) prefolds are your most economical choice when it comes to cloth diapering. They are a soft, flat style of diaper that requires folding and the use of a separate waterproof cover, but they are definitely worth the extra effort. They wash up beautifully, dry in no time, and you can customize the fit to your own baby. A wonderful choice for a baby of any shape or size. No need to choose between conventional cotton or organic cotton prefolds when organic cotton can be used at such an incredible price. Finally an economical organic cotton option in cloth diapers.
Prefolds can be pinned, fastened with a Snappi Cloth Diaper Fastener (so easy!), or folded in thirds and simply placed inside of a wrap-style diaper cover. They are suitable for the newborn to the toddler. While they require a bit more work to fold on a baby, this is a classic, dependable and economical diapering method that has stood the test of time. For as little as $500 Canadian, you can use cloth diapers on your baby from birth to potty training with a system of prefolds and Bummis Diaper Covers that is simple, easy to care for, and will last through more than one child with proper care and laundering. Check out our Complete Prefold Cloth Diapering Packages.
Prefolds - The ORIGINAL One-Size Cloth Diaper.
That's right! Prefolds are considered to be the original "one-size" cloth diaper. Premium (regular) sized prefolds can be used on the average baby from birth through to toddler, depending on how you fold them. Most parents still prefer to use 2 sizes - Infant sized prefolds on their newborns, for a more customized fit and less bulk, and Premium prefolds on their older baby. If you are new to cloth diapering, and you are using your cloth diapers on a newborn, you may also find it easier to get a snug fit with smaller sized prefolds, which will help to contain leaks better. Generally you will be able to use Infant sized prefolds for 4-6 months, depending on the growth of your baby. After this time, Infant prefolds make GREAT doublers for overnight, naps and longer periods between changing, so they will not go to waste. Unless you are on a very tight budget, we still recommend parents invest the small amount into having two sizes which will give you a better fitting system with less bulk, overall. The end result is a a better cloth diapering experience for everyone.
Frequently Asked Questions about our Unbleached Prefolds
Melanie Doan of Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada) asks us...
Q: Are prefold cloth diapers really that difficult to fold?
A: Prefold cloth diapers are not really that difficult to fold, but there is an initial learning curve as there is with most new experiences. Since most parents are used to seeing and using disposables, the transition to cloth diapers seems scarier than it needs to be. We're hoping to change that perspective, one bum at a time.
Whether you choose to use prefold cloth diapers, fitted cloth diapers or pocket cloth diapers, you will have to learn a few basic techniques at the beginning, in order to adequately prevent leaks. But don't worry! We've been right where you are - new to using cloth diapers - and we're happy to help! Folding prefolds is not as difficult as it may seem, and after a few days of using your new diapers, you will be folding them just as quickly and finding them just as easy to use as disposables.
There are multiple ways of folding prefolds and the simplest method of how to fold prefolds is to simply tri-fold them into a cloth diaper cover and put the cloth diaper on your baby. The following diagram shows how using prefolds can be as easy as folding them in thirds (image 1), laying the prefold inside of the diaper cover with a cloth diaper liner on top (optional) (image 2), and fastening the diaper and cover securely on baby (image 3).
How to Use Prefolds (tri-fold method)
It's really that easy! Remember, prefold cloth diapers are the SAME cloth diapers that diaper services across Canada - from Vancouver to Halifax - choose to use with their daily, bi-weekly, or weekly diaper service. If they were that difficult to use, diaper services would not have any business at all. Prefolds really are the most reliable, dependable, adjustable and long-lasting cloth diaper available. And let's not forget how incredibly affordable prefolds are! At only $3-5 each, you would be savings hundreds of dollars with your diapering choice, even with organic cotton.
Q: What is the difference between Indian Prefolds and Chinese Prefolds?
A: Prefolds go by many names - Indian Prefolds, Chinese Prefolds, DSQ Prefolds (Diaper Service Quality Prefolds) and just plain Prefolds. Chinese Prefolds and Indian Prefolds are almost identical to the untrained eye. The main difference between Indian Prefolds and the "Chinese Prefolds" variety is where the cotton is sourced and the prefolds are manufactured. Indian cotton is known by many to be incredibly soft and highly durable. Generally speaking Indian Prefolds are softer, more plush and more absorbent than Chinese prefolds. Keep in mind that because the term "Chinese Prefolds" is sometimes used interchangeable to describe any and all styles of prefolds, it may not be a true Indian or Chinese prefold you are purchasing. Only true diaper service quality prefolds (whether they are called Indian or Chinese prefolds is irrelevant) will stand up to the multiple washings and provide you with maximum absorbency.
The most important factor in determining a quality prefold is whether or not the manufacturer uses high-quality, durable and absorbent materials. They should be ALL cotton (no fillers or polyester sewn in - watch the department stores for this!), contain at least 8 layers of material through the center (wet-zone) and it's essential that the prefolds are designed for diaper service use. Our prefolds are used and loved by diaper services across Canada and they will stand the test of time. At Parenting By Nature we only carry the best, and our Indian Diaper Service Quality Prefolds are unmatched in quality, performance & price.
Q: Which Cloth Diaper Covers do you recommend using with Prefolds?
A: In order to prevent leaks and help contain any mess inside of your prefolds, we highly recommend the Bummis Super Whisper Wrap for a perfect and trim fit, or a wool diaper cover for a completely natural system. The Bummis Super Whisper Wrap seems to be the easiest for the beginner to use, and it's easy care means they can be tossed in the washing machine alongside your cloth diapers. The Bummis Original Diaper Cover is top pick for a newborn cloth diaper cover among many of our customers.
Cloth diaper covers that work best with our Organic Prefolds include:
- Bummis Super Whisper Wrap (our number one pick for a virtually LEAK-FREE system)
- Stacinator Wool Cover (our favorite, all-natural solution)
- Aristocrats Wool Cover (best for night-time use - a closure such as pins or a Snappi is required to keep your prefolds in place)
- Bummis Original Diaper Cover (a top pick for a newborn or preemie)
How to Wash & Fold Prefolds Instructions
The Bummis User Guide ~ Washing and Using Cloth Diapers offers comprehensive washing and folding help for parents that are new to using prefold cloth diapers. This will help get you off to the right start with prefolds. (Please note, these recommendations are for PREFOLD cloth diapers or true cotton or hemp cloth diapers only. Instructions will vary for cloth diapers containing polyester or PUL covers - Fuzzi Bunz, Happy Heiny's, BumGenius cloth diapers etc. Soaking cloth diapers of any style is NOT recommended nor is this necessary).
Regardless of the type of cloth diaper system you are using, we highly recommend having a handful of prefolds on hand as you will find many uses for these diapers. Prefold cloth diapers can be used as diapers, burp cloths, changing pads, diaper doublers (infant size), pocket diaper inserts and even dust & cleaning rags when your baby is potty-trained.
Organic Cotton Prefolds really are a classic, dependable cloth diapering method as well as being one of your most economical options for cloth diapers.

Use these all the time, a little bulky with the wings, very absorbent. Review by Miranda
Price Value Quality
I think I use these the most of all my diapers. They are very inexpensive and it's cheap to have a lot of them on hand. The one thing I didn't like about them was they were really bulky and it was hard to fit pants over my son's bottom. I solved this problem by sewing the side panels off and just using the middle section inside a Whisper Wrap and tucking the front underneath a bit so it is more absorbent in the front. I find that it is still very absorbent this way. One thing to note is that after a few months of washing the material is not very soft if it is line dried. I solve this problem by lining it with a fleece liner. (Posted on 6/12/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
Prefolds all the way! Review by Mary
Price Value Quality
My son is almost two, and we've been using premium size prefolds since he was about a week old. These are so much cheaper than fitted diapers, and they are not difficult at all to use. They are also incredibly durable, and we're planning to use them for an eventual second child.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
I don't recommend them for line drying--they seem to get very stiff that way. Pop them in the dryer, though, and they're good as new every time.
(Posted on 6/25/10)
Low maintenance, economical way to cloth diaper your baby Review by Westee
Price Value Quality
I used the infant size from 4 weeks to >5.5 months and have just recently switched to the premium size. I nearly always use the trifold and place the diaper within a wrap cover. These diapers are deceptively easy to use (even my husband agrees!) and they launder very well. I always use the dryer to dry them as I do find them stiff when line-dried.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
The only con I have is that they shrunk to a smaller length by 3" from that indicated by the manufacturer. This isn't really a big deal but I think it might be part of the reason why I have a harder time using a fastener with these diapers on my very chubby-legged baby. (Posted on 6/30/10)
So many good reasons to use pre-folds Review by Barbara
Price Value Quality
We used disposable diapers in the hospital and for the first week of my son's life. Once we started using cloth prefolds, we liked them so much, I ended up donating the rest of our disposables to the church daycare. I invested in a full set of diapers when I first became pregnant, since I knew money would be tight when my Mat Leave started. Best money I ever spent.
Prefolds are easier to clean than the pocket or fitted diapers because they wash flat without any little crannies for poop to stick into.
I used the small sized pre-folds from 7lbs to 15lbs and have now moved up to the larger size, we're now pushing 30lbs.
You can re-use the diaper covers over multiple diaper changes, so you only need 4-6 covers with 20-30 prefolds, instead of buying a couple of dozen all-in-one diapers.
I agree with the previous poster that most US style baby jeans don't properly, but I've found that most European-made clothes are better cut to fit cloth bums. It has made no issue for my son's mobility or comfort, so I really look at it as an non-issue.
(Posted on 1/1/11)
A must have! Review by SK
Price Value Quality
Prefolds are a must-have in any well stocked cloth diaper arsenal! They are inexpensive, wash really well (after 7 months of regular use and washing, they still look good as new; no visible wear, no stains!) They are soooo absorbent, when I use prefolds with a diaper cover, I never have leaks. Whereas I find with my AIO and pocket diapers, we have leaks pretty regularly. I do agree that prefolds can be a bit bulky, so I find that they make great 'everyday' diapers, and I use fitteds or AIO's when my son wears 'going out' clothes like jeans.
I love everything Bummis, and these prefolds are a testament to their commitment to quality. (Posted on 7/11/11)
Most economical way to cloth diaper Review by Narneh
Price Value Quality
I love prefolds. When I was first considering cloth diapers I looked at all the options. While AIO and Pocket are great for easy of use, prefolds are much cheaper. I love that they dry faster then the inserts I have for my pocket diapers and there is no 'stuffing' required. I will say that there is a bit of a learning curve if you want to try out some of the different folds; I find that the angel wing fold works great for my son due to his EBF poops. Once I got the hang of it I found that I could just as quickly put on a prefold and cover as I could a pocket diaper. These diapers are super absorbent and because they are cotton I haven't had as many smell issues as I have with the inserts for the pocket diapers I use (for my husbands sanity we have a few pocket diapers for ease of use because they are so similar to disposables)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
Overall I love the value of these, ease of use and how quickly they dry. Plus once I'm done with cloth all together I can use them as great rags or pass them on to someone else who could use them. (Posted on 3/4/13)
Too bulky on little babies Review by Shelagh
Price Value Quality
I really like the quality and price of these prefolds, but I found that even when using the smaller size they were extremely bulky, especially on a newborn or smaller infant. Maybe trimming them as another reviewer mentioned would help with this issue. I think that for my next baby I would buy some fitted diapers as well, especially for the early months. (Posted on 6/30/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
Our diaper stash staple Review by Toniette
Price Value Quality
We use prefolds the majority of the time, and we love them! My husband was a little leery of them at first, but he got the hang of it in no time- even my mom and sisters, who were previously grossed out by the thought of cloth diapering, find these easy to use! We use the trifold ("girl fold") during the day for our son, and the "boy fold" at night to prevent leaking. (Posted on 1/1/11)
Good inexpensive diaper Review by hen_mama
Quality Price Value
These diapers are good for the price and do the trick, but I find them pretty bulky. They also seem to be a bit irritating to my son's skin when he pees. I also find it's nearly impossible to reuse [the diaper covers] when he has a dirty diaper as the poo always finds it's way out of the actual cover. They are really absorbent though and as far as a pre-fold go, they are fine, though I much prefer the bamboo prefolds (much more expensive though).
A note from bynature.ca: Thanks for your review! Skin irritations when a diaper is wet can be caused by a number of issues not usually related to the diaper itself. Please contact us to help trouble-shoot! Thanks! (Posted on 9/24/11)

Your head is spinning, your mouth is dry and your body feels like you have gone a round with Mike Tyson.
Hangovers are no joke. But the Irish have a few tips that will help! We came up with our our top nine Irish (and one Polish) hangover cures that are guaranteed to take the edge off the pain.
Two raw eggs for breakfast – two more for lunch. Sworn to be successful by some major drunkards who claim the eggs neutralize the ethanol, also known as alcohol, in your system.
Two Advil every four hours
Stands to reason that getting rid of the pounding headache is the first priority. Advil does that so simply, right? Well, maybe, if not, try Tylenol.
Water, water
Buckets of it to rehydrate yourself. Alcohol dries up the system so the only way is to swallow water by the gallon. Some claim drinking it the night before, before you fall asleep, works even better.
Sweat the alcohol out, but be careful because you need to keep rehydrated. Besides who has a sauna?
Polish people swear by them, something to do with high energy food. I don't know, but the Poles sure know how to drink their vodka so they may have a secret or two.
Nothing like a full Irish breakfast to get you back on the road to recovery. Normally eating something can help reduce the effects of alcohol excess and this is especially true when it comes to an Irish breakfast. Go the full hog with bacon, sausages, black and white pudding, mushrooms, fried tomato, fried eggs, soda bread, potato bread, baked beans and lashings of tea.
If you don't die of a heart attack, your hangover will be cured.
Swim in the Atlantic
Nothing like a dip in the sub-zero Atlantic to banish the hangover blues. It may seem like an insane idea, but the shock to your system of running into the cold water will instantly refresh your mind and body. Please ensure you are fully sober when trying this out and always have a flask of hot tea on hand for when you exit. If this seems too extreme then a walk in the fresh air will also help.
Vats of tea with friends
There are few things in Ireland that cannot be cured with a cup of tea. When that hangover feeling sets in ... put the kettle on, get the teapot ready and find your largest mug. If you're lucky enough to still be in the company of friends, the ultimate cure involves sitting around for a post-mortem on the previous night's events, sipping hot cups of Irish tea. Ah, delicious.
Duvet day complete with favorite films
If your hangover is particularly intense then abandon all hope of leaving the house and just stay in bed for the day. Get your laptop geared up, order some food in perhaps and just relax in the comfort of your home. Leaving the house today is not an option.
The cure – hair of the dog
This rather shortsighted cure to a hangover is to get right back up on that high stool and order another drink. "The hair of the dog" can often be the best solution to that horrific headache. When it seems nothing can take the edge away, just breathe a sigh of inevitability as you walk through the door of your local pub, retracing your movements from the night before. If you can't beat the hangover then distill it.
So there you have it. A few guidelines to beating the effects of the night before. Let us know how you they work for you!

According to float mobile learning, a consulting firm that specializes in mobile strategy and application development, there are currently more than 320 million mobile phones in the U.S. and 1.7 million hospital beds. That's about 185 phones for every bed.
The emerging field of Mobile Health has enabled consumers to use smart phone technology to answer their own health-related questions with the quick tap of a touch screen – this in turn, will eventually lead to declining doctor visits. Float mobile learning's research reveals that many experts in the field believe using mobile health technologies such as apps that monitor fitness and eating habits will increasingly benefit patients. Many doctors for example are in full support of patients monitoring their health at home, especially when it comes to watching weight, blood sugar and vital signs.
This great infographic on mashable.com provides a good overview of Mobile Health and the impact it's making on our culture and our well-being.

If the United States of America were a stock, Warren E. Buffett would buy it.
Even with partisan gridlock in Washington, a sluggish economic recovery and soaring health care costs, the billionaire investor remains bullish on this country and its prospects.
"The world is uncertain. Stock prices are uncertain. The future of America is not uncertain," Buffett said Wednesday during a wide-ranging, hourlong question-and-answer session with employees at The Buffalo News.
Buffett is chairman of the newspaper, which his companies have owned since 1977, and he was in Buffalo Wednesday to honor his friend Stanford Lipsey, who has retired after 32 years as publisher of The News and is now publisher emeritus.
Buffett fielded questions from employees and a reporter on topics including the high unemployment rate, raising the minimum wage, investing in the stock market, advising new college graduates and buying the Buffalo Bills.
The 82-year-old "Oracle of Omaha" is a renowned investor who ranks No. 4 on the Forbes list of the world's richest people, with $53.5 billion. He flies on a private jet – his only trapping of wealth – but his tastes run to nighttime snacks of hash browns, covered with ketchup and washed down with a Cherry Coke.
His Berkshire Hathaway owns outright, or has a stake in, such noted brands as Coca-Cola, Fruit of the Loom, GEICO and Dairy Queen. Buffett said Berkshire's approximately 75 companies have 288,000 employees in all.
Asked what was vital to his success, Buffett quipped that being born in the United States was a stroke of good fortune.
He acknowledged the problems facing this country but said America through its history has shown a resilience and an ability to leverage the productivity of its citizens.
Buffett cited the population of the United States from the first census, in 1790, of roughly 4 million people, and he compared our relatively small size with the 75 million or so living in Europe at that time and the 290 million or so living in China then.
He said the United States became an economic powerhouse not because Americans were smarter, or worked harder but because of our democracy and capitalist economy.
"We have a system that unleashes potential, and it's just starting," he said. "It's just galloping. And 535 people in Washington can't screw up 350 million people [working] for their own self-interests."
The Dow Jones industrial average began the 20th century at about 70 and ended it at 11,497, a period of growth that overcame two world wars, a flu pandemic and a Great Depression, Buffett said. "The country works, and it will work," he said.
While the economy grows, and stocks tend to rise, over time, Buffett said it's foolish to try to predict what the stock market will do over the short term.
"I never know whether the market's going to go up, down or sideways the next day, the next week or the next year. I know I like owning stocks, for the rest of my life," he said.
Recently, his investments have included newspapers, even though they are far smaller than the companies he typically puts money into, such as Heinz, which Berkshire and 3G Capital are buying in a $28 billion deal announced last month.
Berkshire has bought smaller and midsized papers that are the dominant, unifying voice in communities such as Greensboro, N.C.; Richmond, Va.; and Grand Island, Neb.
"We have to be indispensable to a significant part of the community," Buffett said.
He believes that subscriptions can be part of a smart Internet strategy, because newspapers can't continue to charge for a print edition while giving away the online version of their product at no charge.
More from Buffett:
Unemployment: "Many businesses, as you know, are doing very well, but there hasn't been enough demand to really add a lot of capacity in a lot of industries. But as housing comes back, particularly, we've got four, five or six housing-related businesses. Brick, insulation, that sort of thing. We're seeing them coming back. So we are going to be hiring people in our brick business now."
Washington gridlock: "You've got the worst of all negotiating worlds, where people go out and say, 'I won't do this, I won't give an inch on this,' and the other guy's saying, 'I won't give an inch on something else.' And so they've dug themselves in where they'd be so much better off if they never took these extreme positions in public and just negotiated privately."
Health care: "I think what hurts the economy is overall medical costs being 17.5 percent of GDP. I've said that's the tapeworm of the American economy. Our costs, compared to the rest of the world, are huge."
Raising the minimum wage: "I've been thinking about it for 50 years. I just don't know whether it's a good thing or not, because I don't know what it does to the guy who's making the minimum wage now. And I sure … don't want anything bad to happen to him or her. On the other hand, I think the inequality that exists is awful. If I really thought that was a partial answer to inequality I'd be 100 percent in favor. I'm just not sure about the end result."
Advice for graduates: "Find the job that you would have if you were already independently rich. And something that turns you on, that you have a passion for. And you may not be able to do that the first time around. You may have to do something just to make a living while you're looking for that, or finding your passion."
On buying happiness: "Money's important, but I have known a lot of very, very rich people – they're not happy people. … I don't want 10 cars, you know? It just doesn't do you that much good."
GEICO's Amherst call center: "We have about 10 service centers for GEICO all over the country. … We have a lot of metrics by which we measure the work that takes place in those places. … It makes a huge difference in terms of measuring efficiency, in terms of measuring how people handle the calls that come in, how people respond to them and so on. Buffalo ranks tops in many of them."
Buying the Bills: "If I were rich and somewhat younger, and lived in Buffalo, I'd buy them in a second. But I'm not taking on new things that my heirs will want to wrestle with. There would have been a time when I would have been very tempted."

Two very different alternate universes make for two must-see fantasy flicks in this week's top DVD releases, 'Watchmen' and 'Coraline.' Also out: We get two Hankses and a Malkovich in the indie comedy 'The Great Buck Howard.' Get the full scoop on this week's DVD releases, plus our recommendations from weeks' past. a href="http://www.moviefone.com/movie/watchmen/26998/main">'Watchmen'
What It's About: Alan Moore's widely celebrated graphic novel about supremely tortured superheroes gets the big screen treatment from '300' director Zack Snyder, complete with a so-not-funny Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), scene-chewing Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley), Skinemax-like sex scene and giant blue member.
What We Say: The year's first blockbuster -- also one year's most divisive -- is flawed and indulgent, sure, but it's also one of the most original and compelling superhero movies ever made. Long called "unfilmable" because of its complex mythology and alternate time setting, Snyder pulls it off with style, sticking admirably close to the material. It is recommended you read the graphic novel first, though. Otherwise you might be a little perplexed by the giant "Blue Man Group dude" (Dr. Manhattan, whose back story doesn't come until about 30 minutes in).
Special Features? Most impressive about the theatrical version was that at an epic 163 minutes, it never felt it. The DVD and Blu-ray Director's Cut comes with 24 whole extra minutes that should please purists and adds up to more of a presence for minor characters like Janie Slater and Wally Weaver. Also included: a featurette on the impact of Moore's original work, and 11 video journals.

What It's About: When her family moves into an old house, the eponymous young girl (voiced by Dakota Fanning) discovers a portal to a parallel universe that at first seems perfect (her parents are more attentive, there's bacon sizzling on the stove, etc), but in truth is far more sinister (everyone has buttons for eyes, for one).
It's Kind of Like: 'Pan's Labyrinth' meets 'Nightmare Before Christmas'
What We Say: The first must-see movie of 2009, this eye-popping whirl through stop-motion animation is a meeting of two brilliant minds (writer Neil Gaiman and director Henry Selick) and remains one of the year's best. Following in the tradition of 'Nightmare' and 'Corpse Bride,' it's a gothic, trippy, oftentimes creepy (see aforementioned buttons for eyes) film that should thrill older kids and adults in equal measure.

'The Great Buck Howard'
What It's About: Unsure what he wants to do with his life, a law school dropout (Colin Hanks) opts for the absolute random, becoming a personal assistant to the titular eccentric mentalist (John Malkovich).
It's Kind of Like: 'My Favorite Year'
What Critics Say: Reviewers were mostly kind to this light indie comedy that doubles up on Hankses (Colin's pop Tom Hanks co-stars as, get this, his pop), with the film registering a 73 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Roger Ebert called it "funny and perceptive," while on the other hand, Newsday's Rafter Guzman found it "painfully thin." Almost all agreed, though, it's worth it for a good dose of The Malkovich.

NIAGARA FALLS, ONT. – Niagara Regional Police officers were called to the popular Marineland aquatic park Sunday, after some animal welfare protesters stormed inside the facility and tried to interrupt a performance by dolphins.
Order was restored after officers ordered the protesters to leave, the Regional Police said.
An organization called Marineland Animal Defense sent out fliers inviting animal rights supporters to attend its "Marineland Closing Day."
Members claim marine mammals are mistreated at the park.
According to police reports, officers from the Niagara Regional Police and the Regional Parks Police were dispatched to the park at about 1:45 p.m. after "the crowd had grown to approximately 800 people" and some were rushing through the park's gates into the show area.
There were no injuries, and most of the protesters had left the area by 3 p.m., police said.
Police reported no arrests, but the St. Catharines Standard newspaper reported that a 20-year-old woman was led away in handcuffs.

Tonight we lay in the grass and I took pictures in the dark and the boys ran around like crazy people. Gray carried his little bug cage with a lightning bug in it, his hands smelling like a lightning bug (they have a smell).
Smells like my childhood summers.
Once, when I was a little girl I left my crayons in a pencil box in the sun on the picnic table. I burned my fingers in the colors... they melted and ran together. Made new colors. They were beautiful and naughty.
This is the kind of post you write to a soundtrack.
This is the kind of post I try to lasso time. This fleeting time. Time that slipped through a crack in the door long ago.
Gray wants to bring his bug cage into the house and I say why not. I had pickle jars with jagged holes poked with a steak knife in the lids, grass and sticks swishing and clinking against the glass, resting next to my bed. I wished for them to light up as I drifted off to sleep.
In the morning they would be "sleeping" or had disappeared.
Kinda like time.
A lot like time.

This week our staffers are finding inspiration in a POW who never gave up, an intuitive's ideas on fate and free will, and the Queen (Mrs. Keep-calm-and-carry-on herself).
Check out our picks, then share your thoughts and let us know what you're reading.
Her pick: Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
This true story of Louis Zamperini, a former Olympian who survived horrible brutality as an American POW in World War II Japan, is truly epic. From its lost-at-sea opening – complete with circling sharks! – the book unspools with cinematic grandeur. Angelina Jolie is directing the movie version. Will Brad Pitt play the super-humanly resilient Mr. Z? I could see it.
Julie Farin, Senior PR Manager
Her pick: Transforming Fate Into Destiny by Robert Ohotto
I love books in the spirituality genre that try to shed light on life's great mysteries. If you've ever asked yourself, "Why am I here? What purpose do I serve?", then you'll enjoy this book by intuitive and radio host Ohotto. Think of it as a print version of The Adjustment Bureau, where life's coincidences and everyday encounters are actually keys to a much bigger picture.
His pick: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and her Court by Robert Hardman
I'm an ardent royal watcher (so it's perfect that my job means hours of looking at photos of the Duchess of Cambridge.) This is a really good book that gives you a glimpse of the Queen's personality, how she handles the mass of people in constant orbit around her, and how she deftly navigates any situation with a sense of duty and a sense of humor.
Check back every Thursday for another round of staff picks, and see more book reviews each week in PEOPLE, on newsstands now.

on December 8, 2012 - 11:22 PM
Pastors of several of Buffalo's largest African-American churches are joining with parent leader Samuel L. Radford III in calling on the superintendent to close the city's 44 low-performing schools in June and reopen them as district charter schools.
By the end of February, Radford hopes to have 5,000 signatures to present to the School Board, demanding the conversion of about three-fourths of the district's schools to charter schools by September 2013.
It is a drastic solution he is proposing – and one that seems unlikely to be logistically possible. Converting just one district school to a charter school takes considerable work, and considerable planning.
But after decades of failure in the city schools, the time has come for bold steps, Radford and many pastors say.
"Back in the '60s, the civil rights movement was centered in the church. Education is the new civil rights issue for this century and for this time, so the church really needs to get involved," said the Rev. Richard A. Stenhouse, pastor of Bethel AME Church.
Several churches have designated today as "Education Sunday," and several pastors are issuing a call to action for their congregants, reminding them of the city's four-year graduation rate, which hovers around 50 percent – and its graduation rate for black males, which is half that.
Stenhouse is reminding parents in his congregation of their responsibilities – attending parent-teacher conferences, getting their children to school every day, making sure they do their homework, setting high academic expectations for their children – as well as urging them to call for change from the district.
The schools need to provide a longer school day, a longer school year and after-school programming into the evening hours, he said.
Radford's charter-focused solution makes sense to Stenhouse because he thinks it would give parents more of a voice. While charter schools are publicly funded, each is overseen by its own board, not the elected districtwide School Board.
"Charters are a good option because they give the community a chance to have direct governance of the schools," Stenhouse said. "It will help with the outcomes if those who have a vested interest in the outcomes are involved in the governance of the schools.
"We could deal with suspension rates. We could deal with attendance. We could deal with teacher performance. We could hold everyone accountable – parents and staff – for the outcomes."
His church and half a dozen other large African-American churches in Buffalo constitute the Jeremiah Partnership, a faith-based coalition that has decided to support Radford's petition drive.
A second, simultaneous petition drive is designed to gather signatures from parents whose students are in low-performing schools and request that their children be transferred into schools in good standing.
This fall, Radford tried to mobilize parents in low-performing schools to exercise their right under federal law to request that the district transfer their children into schools in good standing.
Forty-four schools in Buffalo are considered troubled enough academically that their students have the right to transfer. There are 11 schools in the district deemed to be in good standing; district officials allowed transfers this year into seven of them, saying the others were not options because students had to meet certain criteria to get into schools like Hutch-Tech or City Honors.
In September, 488 of the 26,300 eligible students requested transfers – a typical number in Buffalo, compared with the last several years of such transfers. Of those transfer requests, the district granted 317 of them, according to Kelli A. Daniels, supervisor of student support services and compliance. Students with the greatest academic need received preference.
Slightly less than half of the students who were granted transfers – 148 of them – actually ended up changing schools, she said. Some went to charter schools. Some remained at their old school. Some asked to go to a different school than the one they were assigned to.
Another 171 students who requested transfers did not get them. In some cases, Daniels said, students requested placement at schools like Olmsted, which have admissions criteria, but the students were not academically eligible for those programs.
Radford said he hopes to harness the support of local churches and get far more parents requesting transfers, to force the district to create seats in schools in good standing to accommodate all the transfer requests.
"We have to find something that's going to work," said Radford, president of the District Parent Coordinating Council. "We can't just keep spinning our wheels."
Jonathan Burman, a state Education Department spokesman, said it would be possible but unlikely that the district could convert so many schools to district-sponsored charter schools so quickly.
"While it would be legally possible to convert all of the schools by September 2013, it is difficult to imagine the Board of Regents being presented with 44 approvable applications within that time frame," he said.
Radford cites documents from the federal and state governments directing school districts to create capacity in schools in good standing to accommodate students requesting transfers. In its application for federal anti-poverty funds this year, in fact, the Buffalo Public Schools stated it would add classrooms in schools in good standing to accommodate those students.
Radford said the district is in violation of federal law this year because it has not granted all the transfer requests – and it will be in violation again next year, when he says even more students will be asking for transfers.
"We're saying to the state and federal governments, you have required schools to create capacity. Why are you allowing the Buffalo Public Schools to be in violation of the law without any consequence?" he said.
Radford will circulate petitions at the first Parent Assembly meeting of the year, at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Performing Arts, 450 Masten Ave. And after "Education Sunday" today at several churches, another 20 or so churches are expected to take up the cause next weekend and urge their members to sign the petitions, he said.
The Rev. Darius Pridgen, pastor of True Bethel Baptist Church and Ellicott Common Council member, said he is waiting to decide whether to support the petition drive until he learns more of the details.
"I am a supporter of radical change. I want to be clear about that," Pridgen said.
Regardless of whether he decides to support the petition drive, he said, he is encouraged by the interest that pastors and parents are taking in the city's schools.
"When I was on the Board of Education 10 years ago, I could barely get a faith-based organization or parents to show up for very important issues unless you fed them," Pridgen said. "So this is huge. I see our community addressing the issue in ways that I haven't seen before. I think this is a sign of frustration. And frustration is good if there are going to be demonstrations that lead to change."

Subtitle 21 BOARD ARCHITECTS
09.21.04 Fees
Business Occupations and Professions Article, §§2-106, 2-106.1 and 2-106.2; Business
Occupations and Professions Article, §§3-101, 3-208, 3-209, 3-306, 3-307, 3-309, and 3-310; Annotated Code of Maryland
Notice of Proposed Action
The Board of Architects proposes to amend Regulation .03 under
COMAR 09.21.04 Fees. This action was considered by the Board at a public meeting held on February 27, 2013, notice of which was
published in The Daily Record on February 21, 2013, in accordance with State Government Article, §10-506(c), Annotated Code of Maryland.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this action is to increase license fees previously set by the Board in 2003 and then decreased in 2007. Pursuant to the
authority set forth in Business Regulation Article, §§2-106, 2-106.1, and 2-106.2, Annotated Code of Maryland, the Maryland design boards,
including the Board of Architects, may set various fees, including a license fee, in order to cover the actual documented direct and
indirect costs of fulfilling their statutory and regulatory duties. The law provides that the Secretary must calculate these costs on
annual basis and provide them to the design boards for the purposes of fee-setting. Based on the current levels of revenues and expenses,
as certified to the design boards by the Department, it has become evident to the design boards that an increase in license fees is
necessary in order for the boards to meet their statutory obligations. The need for increase in fees is a result of a number of factors,
including, but not limited to, increase in personnel costs, as well as in fixed and indirect costs. The statute governing the design boards
special fund limits a fee increase to 12.5 percent annually. As a result, the design boards, both individually and as members of the design
boards special fund cluster, decided to uniformly increase their applicable license/certificate fees. Therefore, the license fees for each
Board are being raised by 12.5 percent
Comparison to Federal Standards
There is no corresponding federal standard to this proposed action.
Estimate of Economic Impact
I. Summary of Economic Impact. There are currently 5,800 licensed architects. Due to staggered license renewals, 2,900 licensees are
expected to renew their licenses annually. In addition, an average of 300 individuals become licensed every year. Based on the assumption
that these numbers remain constant, the State Occupational and Professional Licensing Design Boards Fund will receive additional revenues
totaling $27,200.
III. Assumptions. (Identified by Impact Letter and Number from Section II.)
A. Assuming 2,900, or 50 percent of current licensees, renew their licenses in the first year and 300 individuals receive new licenses,
revenues totaling $27,200 (3,200 x $8.50) will be received by the Fund.
D. Applicants for new license and current licensees are presently paying $68 for a 2-year license. The proposed amendment will raise
the fee to $76.50, an increase of $8.50.
Economic Impact on Small Businesses
The proposed action has minimal or no economic impact on small businesses.
Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.
Opportunity for Public Comment
Comments may be sent to Pamela J. Edwards, Executive Director, Professional Licensing Boards, 500 N. Calvert Street, Room 308, Baltimore,
MD 21202, or call 410-230-6262, or email to
email@example.com, or fax to 410-333-0021. Comments will be accepted t
hrough October 30, 2013. A public hearing will be held October 30, 2013 at 11 a.m., 500 N. Calvert Street, Third Floor Conference Room,
Baltimore, MD 21202, to hear comments from the public regarding the license fee increase.
Open Meeting
Final action on the proposal will be considered by the Board of Architects during a public meeting to be held on December 16, 2013, at
500 N. Calvert Street, Third Floor Conference Room, Baltimore, MD 21202.
.03 Fees and Costs.
A. The Secretary and the design boards have agreed to average their direct and indirect costs, based on the calculation of costs performed
by the Secretary in consultation with the design boards. Based on these calculations, the Board sets the following fees:
(1) License fee [$68;] $76.50;
(2)(4) (text unchanged)
B.D. (text unchanged)

text: By Linda D. Kozaryn American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON -- U.S. Forces Korea has taken another step to protect military families and other DoD-affiliated non- combatants from the threat of weapons of mass destruction. Command officials announced Oct. 29 that DoD had approved its request to issue protective masks to command and non- command sponsored military family members in South Korea. Masks also will be issued to all DoD civilians not designated as emergency essential and their families and to all dependents of emergency-essential employees. Mission- essential DoD civilians and active duty service members already are issued protective masks and clothing. "After considerable thought and planning, the command is ready to make a prudent addition to our force and family protection measures," said Army Lt. Gen. Daniel Petrosky, the command's chief of staff. "In the next few weeks, we will begin to issue protective masks to family members, and noncombatants associated with the Department of Defense." Petrosky, who is also the commander U.S. Eighth Army, told American Forces Korea Network the command has been planning this addition to the Force and Family Protection Program for more than a year. "It is not in response to any increased threat in Korea," he said. "Our program is another step in our ongoing mission to protect our forces and to protect their families. "In this uncertain world," Petrosky continued, "such prudent defensive measures just make sense. This new effort serves the same primary purpose all our force and family protection measures do -- to make all members of the USFK family as safe as possible." Personnel assigned on temporary duty to U.S. Forces Korea will either bring their own masks or be issued one by their sponsoring unit or activity, according to DoD officials. Contractors and technical representatives are covered under a separate DoD force protection program. Beginning in mid-November, U.S. Forces Korea will issue M17A2 masks and three types of commercially designed hoods for infants (birth through age 3), children (4-10) and hard-to-fit adults. The masks will become part of each family's noncombatant evacuation kit. American service members -- including those in Korea -- formerly used the M17A2 mask, which has now been replaced by the M24. Command officials said the M17A2 mask is a reliable system. It is designed to provide protection against the widest range of potential chemical and biological agents. The command will conduct training to ensure sponsors know how to use the equipment. The masks and hoods will protect noncombatants in the event of a chemical attack and will give authorities time to move them into safe areas, Army Col. David Apt, U.S. Forces Korea spokesman, told Pacific Stars and Stripes. DoD officials are currently assessing whether or not masks should be issued to family members in other overseas locations to augment existing force protection plans. Since the 1996 terrorist attack on U.S. forces at Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, the military has taken numerous steps to enhance force protection. Previous steps taken in South Korea to enhance noncombatants' safety include installing barricades, widening roads and improving installation access control, Apt noted. #END#

Hit-and-run victim was daughter of Citizen managing editor
Public memorial service planned for Friday at 3 pm
The daughter of Henrico Citizen Managing Editor Patty Kruszewski was the victim of a fatal hit-and-run incident on River Road in Richmond near the University of Richmond late Sunday night.
Lanie Kruszewski, 24, was riding her bicycle east on River Road near Bridgeway Road, when she was struck by a motorist who apparently was traveling the same direction, according to Richmond Police. She died at the scene.
Police believe the vehicle that struck Kruszewski may have been a Jeep Cherokee or Dodge Durango. It may have damage to the front passenger side area, including its headlight and side mirrors or window, police said.
Kruszweski was a 2006 graduate of the Maggie L. Walker's Governor School in Richmond and a 2011 graduate of James Madison University.
Anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000 or text Crime Stoppers at 274637 using the word "iTip" followed by a tip. Both options are anonymous. Tips may also be made to the Richmond Police Hit and Run Unit by calling (804) 646-1369.
A public memorial service will be held at 3 p.m., Friday, Aug. 3, in the the Maggie L. Walker Governor's School commons.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Kruszewski's name to:
• the Maggie L. Walker Governor's School Foundation, which supports the school;
• the Virginia Bicycling Federation, a safety and advocacy group that seeks to improve cycling conditions statewide;
• Brain Food, a Washington, D.C. organization that teachers high-schoolers about food, nutrition, cooking, and jobs in the food industry.
Patty Kruszewski recently wrote a column about Title IX's 40th anniversary, in which she described a number of Lanie's experiences as a student, athlete and young adult and explained how the law helped open doors for her and millions of other young women; read it here.
A Facebook page in Lanie's memory has been established here: https://www.facebook.com/InMemoryOfLanieKruszewski.

PFS Rapid Reviews – The Best Man Holiday
By Alex Gibson
"Finally, my favorite Black Pack movie gets a sequel!" said The Best Man fans around the world earlier this year. The Best Man Holiday is not as good as the original, but is definitely a satisfying follow-up / holiday film. Over ten years later, all the characters are back and as dysfunctional and hysterical as ever, especially Terrence Howard's scheezy-funny Quentin. Prepare to laugh and cry. Seriously – bring tissues, you'll need them.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Biotecnol and PolyTherics formed a collaboration that aims to develop multispecific anticancer Tribody-drug conjugates (TDCs) that consist of Biotecnol's Tribody molecules linked to cytotoxic payloads attached using PolyTherics' site-specific ThioBridge™ linker technology. The companies will evaluate the resulting ThioBridge Tribody-drug conjugates in preclinical cancer models, and jointly look for licensing partners for the most promising candidates.
PolyTherics' ThioBridge platform has been developed to enable the conjugation of a range of therapeutic payloads to antibodies, antibody fragments, or scaffolds via specific sites and without impacting functional domains. "A key challenge facing developers of protein-drug conjugates is that the chemistry linking the targeting molecule to the toxic payload can lead to unstable, heterogeneous products," remarks John Burt, PolyTherics' CEO. "PolyTherics' technology is site-specific, predictable, and results in stable and homogeneous conjugates. Combining these attributes with the versatility of Biotecnol's Tribody platform has the potential to create the next-generation of targeted cancer therapies."
Biotecnol's Tribodies are multifunctional recombinant antibodies, generated via the natural in vivo heterodimerization of Fab fragments to form a scaffold, onto which two additional binding moieties can be incorporated, including scFv antibody fragments, natural protein ligands, cytokines, receptor domains, tags, or protein toxins, small molecules, or radionucleotides. The firm claims the resulting molecules are stable and easy to produce in a single batch, without the need for any post-production processing other than purification. Tribodies are in addition produced in standard mammalian cell technology using well established methods.
Biotecnol claims the technology has a number of advantages compared with other bispecific formats. In particular, trispecificity means one molecule can be dual-targeting with a T-cell effector function. And at about 100 KDa, the molecules are of a size that is between bispecific antibody fragments and IgG molecules, which the firm says represents an ideal balance between tumor penetration and half life. Its in-house pipeline includes Tribody candidates against triple-negative breast cancer, malignant melanoma, and gastric cancer.
PolyTherics is leveraging a suite of technologies for the site-specific conjugation of therapeutic proteins. It's three-platform PEGylation technologies are TheraPEG™ for PEGylation across a native disulfide bond, CyPEG™ for PEGylation at a thiol on free cysteine, and HiPEG, for PEGylation at a histidine residue. The firm has also developed a low-viscosity polymer and glycopolymer for targeted delivery of therapeutic proteins.
Last month Pro Bono Bio exercised its option to take an exclusive global licence to PolyTherics' TheraPEG technology for the development and commercialization of a TheraPEG-FVIII product. The option exercise follows a feasibility program to develop and evaluate a long-acting PEGylated form of Factor VIII for the treatment of hemophilia A.

BP Oil Spill Fund Should Cover Mental Health Claims; NAMI Warns Administrator Kenneth Feinberg that Exclusion Would Be 'Neither Fair nor Equitable'
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has called on Kenneth Feinberg, the independent claims administrator for the $20 billion relief fund created by BP Oil Company, to cover mental health needs resulting from the company's massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
In comments before the House Judiciary Committee on July 21, Feinberg said that the fund is not likely to pay damages for mental illness and distress caused by the spill unless a "physical injury" is also present.
In an August 10 letter to Feinberg, NAMI Executive Director Michael J. Fitzpatrick said the statement is "incompatible with modern scientific knowledge of mental illness and the impact of traumatic events."
"Denial of a class of individuals with medical disorders affecting the brain from compensation that is available to those with medical disorders affecting other organs of the body would be neither fair nor equitable."
In a July 15 letter to BP, NAMI blasted the company for ignoring appeals by Louisiana, for $10 million to help fund mental health care in communities affected by the spill. Similar requests have been made by Alabama, Florida and Mississippi.
On July 9, Louisiana advised the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services that it was encountering "increases in anxiety, depression, stress, grief, excessive and earlier drinking and suicide ideation." A meeting of the Institute of Medicine in New Orleans also identified mental health issues as the priority health concern from the disaster.
Noting the impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which greatly strained state mental health care systems in the Gulf region, NAMI advised Feinberg that states are "ill-prepared to divert already scarce mental health dollars from existing services for people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other serious mental illnesses."
Denying compensation to individual victims experiencing serious psychiatric symptoms would be an "injustice," Fitzpatrick wrote.

Can I also use tap water for preparing saltwater?
Why should I use R/O water for a saltwater aquarium? I heard from some people that you may also use tap water under certain circumstances?
water completely deionized by reverse osmosis (R/O) or ion exchange is virtually free from potentially harmful substances, which cannot be guaranteed in case of tap water. This considers both possible toxic substances (copper, chlorine/chloramines) as well as generally harmless substances that still may be annoying (e.g. very high carbonate concentrations that lead to precipitations and cloudiness).
Is sera aquatan helpful also in case of tap water?
Yes, without any restriction. However, it has, for instance, no influence on the carbonate level mentioned above.
Which start parameters should one have?
The less dissolved substances in the original water, the better - good aquarium sea salts contain everything the creatures require and do not depend on an "additional enrichment" by the substances tap water contains. Substances consumed by the saltwater inhabitants must of course be replenished, e.g. with sera marin COMPONENT 1 - 7.
Best regards

Full color reproduction of the autograph manuscript now in the Bibliotheque nationale de France. In two volumes.
Valuable addition to our existing collection of facsimile scores of great works. Useful to both musicologists and performers.
This project provides direct access to a widely scattered collection of original medieval manuscripts that describe travel - real and imaginary - in the Middle Ages. The project combines: multiple manuscript sources detailing the journeys of famous travelers from Prester John and Marco Polo to Sir John Mandeville and John Capgrave; translations and supporting materials (all of which are fully searchable); maps showing the routes of the travelers; and Introductory essays by leading scholars.
These sources tell us much about the attitudes and preconceptions of people across Europe in the medieval period, shedding light on issues of race, economics, trade, militarism, politics, literature and science. They will be welcomed by scholars in both literature and history as well as by French and German studies departments.
This stunning oversized book is printed in two hardcover volumes, gathered in a linen-covered clamshell box and protected by a durable outer case. The first volume discusses 132 masterworks of Chinese painting on silk or paper. The second volume presents the paintings themselves, reproduced in full color and, in most cases, actual size. This book, with its numerous gatefold spreads and eight-color printing, on paper specially developed for this title, is one of the most breathtaking works ever published.
This book, a work of art in its own right, presents the glory of Chinese painting from the 7th to 14th century. It gives an authoritative account of the history, meaning, and cultural significance of the world's oldest continuous painting tradition.
The book provides a state of the art description of the synthetic tools to precisely control various aspects of macromolecular structure including chain composition, microstructure, functionality and topology as well as modern characterization techniques at molecular and macroscopic level for various properties of well-defined (co)polymers in solution, bulk and at surfaces. The book addresses also the correlation of molecular structure with macroscopic properties additionally affected by processing. Finally, some emerging applications for the (co)polymers are highlighted.
Macromolecules are essential for life and constitute the basics for molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics and food chemistry. They are also the constituents of polymers that find applications as plastics, fibers, elastomers, coatings, and adhesives in the electrical and optical industries, as well as in many other fields. Macromolecular engineering includes the design and preparation of well-defined macromolecules, together with their precise characterization at various stages of synthesis and processing so a to optimize their macroscopic properties for specific functions and applications. This is a state-of-the-art description of the synthetic tools used to precisely control various aspects of macromolecular structure, as well as modern characterization techniques at molecular and macroscopic level for various properties of well-defined (co)polymers in solution, bulk and at surfaces.
This is a yearly subscription to online database of scholarly articles and primary source material related to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies.

Full-color facsimile of the autograph score in 3 volumes, with additional volume of commentary and essays. Quarter leather binding in clamshell case. Only 100 copies printed.
Valuable addition to our existing collection of facsimile scores of great works. Useful to both musicologists and performers.
Beginning in the late 1950s, architect George F. Andrews and his wife Geraldine spent over forty years visiting and studying the Yucatán and its Mayan culture and architecture. This collection includes many pages of descriptive data, architectural drawings, and photographs documenting the region (36 linear feet manuscript materials, 1,530 professional view camera images, nearly 6,000 35mm images, over 8,000 color transparencies, approximately 2,300 architectural drawings).
In its current unprocessed state, records remain inaccessible and unprotected from further physical degradation. Archival processing will ensure preservation-sound storage, organization and cataloging. This unprocessed collection has already influenced the discovery of a royal Maya tomb (one of the most significant archeological discoveries in the last decade), and a Fulbright Scholarship based upon research using this collection. Imagine the treasures that await scholars if we were able to fund an effort to fully organize this collection - researchers everywhere would easily know what is in each box filled with valuable manuscripts, photographs and artifacts. Once the collection is processed it can be considered for digitization.
Hailed as "one of the liveliest and most intelligent programs on the arts" by the New York Times, EYE ON DANCE & THE ARTS is the only series of its kind. Launched in 1981, this issue-driven series chronicles over a decade of dance and arts figures. Propelled by lively discussions, each program documents cutting-edge, established, and historical voices. Photographs, videotape excerpts of performances, and demonstrations enhance each segment's visual content.
This series is on DVD now and Fine Arts Library owns only 6 of the 326 half-hour programs. Having the whole series would be ideal. Each half-hour program costs $175.
The Alexander Architectural Archive participates in many open houses throughout the year to promote collections, welcome new and prospective students, and for campus-wide events such as Explore UT. It also provides custom exhibits prepared for classes where collections are used in teaching and learning, in recruitment of faculty, for events accompanying lectures and development efforts. Using "canned" exhibits in flat file drawers has enabled opportunities for quick display for serendipitous visits of the Dean or Development staff and their VIP guests.
Currently, flat files serve as impromptu exhibit decks. Mylar sheets cover the works as a protective measure but create a distracting glare. The decking consists of materials in folders stored in the drawer and is therefore uneven and limited in size. Due to lack of proper storage options, oversized collection material is located on top of the flat files in an unsightly manner while taking up valuable exhibition space. Access is difficult.
30 volumes (online perpetual access) when complete. From publishers web page: "(EBR) pursues a twofold task. Firstly, it comprehensively renders the current state of knowledge on the origins and development of the Bible according to its different canonic forms in Judaism and Christianity. Secondly, it documents the history of the Bible's reception, not only in the Christian churches and the Jewish Diaspora, but also in literature, art, music, and film, as well as Islam and other religious traditions and current religious movements. With the help of a comprehensive search engine the online edition of the EBR makes the articles fully searchable."
Supports Religious Studies and other coursework across campus: Fine Arts, Classics, Anthropology, Women's Studies, Latin American Studies. Anticipate UT Contributors.
The Encyclopedia of Stress covers nearly every conceivable aspect and ramification of stress including a wide range of related topics such as neuroimmune interactions, cytokines, enzymatic disorders, effects on the cardiovascular system, immunity and inflammation, and physical illnesses. Over the last decade, scientists have presented convincing research showing that psychological stress increases vulnerability to disease. They now understand more clearly that stress may be the thread tying together illnesses that were previously believed to be unrelated. Bone loss, increased abdominal fat, and damaged memory cells in the hippocampus have been linked to elevated cortisol levels.
This completely revised edition surveys the vast amount of research generated in the past five years, resulting in a substantial revision with over 30% new material and over 100 new entries. Expanded sections include Animal Studies, Anxiety and Depression, Drugs, Depression, Disasters, and Psychological and Other Therapies. CHOICE Recommended title. Nursing faculty have requested access for the latest edition online.

Buffalo firefighters Saturday battled three blazes in occupied homes that caused more than $180,000 in total damages and left seven people homeless.
Firefighters spent hours fighting a stubborn fire in a 2½-story wood house at 384 Herman St., just east of the Kensington Expressway, between East North and Best streets.
A few minutes after firefighters responded to the 9:09 a.m. call, officials ordered an evacuation of firefighters and conducted a quick head count, or "accountability report," from each of the ladder and engine companies at the scene. All personnel were accounted for.
Firefighters had to battle heavy smoke and fire conditions on the first two floors and were concerned about the possibility of the house's chimney toppling. The house was destroyed, and authorities called for an emergency demolition.
The blaze, which sent a plume of heavy smoke into the sky and forced the rerouting of nearby Genesee Street traffic, caused an estimated $40,000 damage, plus exposure damage placed at $5,000 at 382 Herman and $1,000, at 394 Herman.
The Red Cross was called to assist one person forced from the home.
Firefighters also responded to an 8:47 a.m. alarm at 72 Dempster, an occupied two-story frame home in the city's Bailey-William area. The Red Cross helped two adults and three children left homeless. That fire caused an estimated $75,000 damage.
Early Saturday afternoon, shortly after 12:30 p.m., firefighters responded to a fire that left $60,000 damage at 21 West Lane, one block southeast of Ontario Street, in the city's Riverside section. One adult needed assistance from the Red Cross.
