The View cohost Elisabeth Hasselbeck and her husband, NFL quarterback Tim Hasselbeck, both 27, welcomed their first child, daughter Grace, April 6 in New York City. "Both Elisabeth and I are extremely excited," said Tim. Mom is due back at work in May.
Actor Joaquin Phoenix (Ladder 49), 30, recently checked himself into a California rehab facility for alcohol abuse. "He was uncomfortable with the way he was living his life and found the courage to deal with the disease," said a rep for the actor.
Aimee Osbourne, 21, the oldest daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, had surgery to remove a lump from her breast. "Aimee's had a breast cancer scare," said Sharon, who was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2002. "The operation went very well, but there have been a few minor complications and she will be having more treatment over the next few weeks." Mother and daughter have withdrawn from their planned appearances in the London production of The Vagina Monologues.
Chris Shelton, 22, a contestant on the most recent installment of The Apprentice, was arrested April 10 for disorderly conduct after causing a scene at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Fla. Shelton was allegedly upset about a $20 cover charge at the hotel bar and ignored a police officer who attempted to calm him down. Shelton posted $250 bail and was released hours later. "We don't really have any comment," a spokesman for the show said. "This is clearly a private matter with Chris." ...Actor Vincent Pastore (The Sopranos), 58, was arrested April 5 in New York City and charged with assault after an altercation with his girlfriend Lisa Regina, 44. Pastore was released and ordered to stay away from Regina.
On April 4 Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, 35, was ordered to pay more than $21,000 a month in child support to his ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton-Brim, 31, the mother of their son Justin, 11. The decision came after the rapper appealed a Westchester family court ruling that ordered him to pay $35,000 a month (PEOPLE, Sept. 6, 2004). Hylton-Brim originally sued last year claiming that the $5,000 a month Combs was paying was not sufficient. "Mr. Combs has always taken great care of his son," said his rep.
Dale Messick, 98, the pioneering female comic strip artist who created feisty, red-haired journalist Brenda Starr, died April 5 in Penngrove, Calif., of undisclosed causes.... Frank Conroy, 69, author of the 1967 memoir Stop-Time, a sobering account of his troubled childhood, died April 6 in Iowa City, Iowa, of colon cancer.

In gymnastics, the dismount may be more important than the rest of the routine: it is the final element judges recall when evaluating the athlete. In health care, we often ignore the dismount—the handoff of responsibility from the health care system to the patient. Tremendous intellectual and capital resources are allocated toward making diagnoses, developing therapies, and designing treatment plans, but relatively few resources are spent on the transfer of care to the patient. Physicians, nurses, health systems, health plans, and pharmaceutical companies frequently botch the dismount. As a result, countless numbers of people may be injured or inadequately treated.

Most Applications Needa User Manual
It has been suggested that the
, but it seems that most people on this wiki think that a
. [
: These two pages are being carved out of
: some consensus reasons why most applications need a user manual.]
Some observations:
In practice, attempts to eliminate user manuals usually fail. It is almost always necessary to provide some documentation.
s should be easy to figure out. Nobody should say "Well, sure, the UI makes no sense, but it will once they read the user manual."
Some people believe that "the
should be so simple that it does not require a user manual." This idea was popularized in the early days of the Macintosh. This idea is a good thing to aim for, but it's not the same thing as saying "...and therefore we won't ship a user manual." Make the
as easy to figure out as possible,
ship a user manual, whether it's needed or not.
There are some manuals that are really valuable. When they are well written they make life as a programmer better.
Some questions:
Why is a good manual helpful?
What distinguishes a good manual from
that encourage having a
A user manual can provide context, instead of trivial definitions. For example, the user manual can explain when (or why) the user would want to open an object.
Users sometimes get confused. A good user manual will help the user find what they need to know, and get back to work.
The user may be confused, period. No amount of user interface refining can accommodate all users for eternity, and there is going to come a user who will misinterpret any term or description of an operation no matter what you do.
Most user interfaces use an ambiguous short-hand.
An abstract example: Does "opening" an object also "activate" the object?
A concrete example: If click on a sound file do I just get the file opened for examination and possible editing, or does the sound play and then the application terminates? Perhaps opening the file causes the sound to play, but then it is automatically rewound to the beginning and I can now edit it?
Business reasons: It may be a "checklist item" (reviewers and/or customers may have a policy that it is required, whether it is functionally necessary or not; one's own company may have a similar policy about products shipped). It may add to an air of professionalism and/or getting value for one's money to ship one (or at least, detract from that if the manual is lacking).
Some actions are not reversible. For example:
Network file deletion may be permanent.
Disk defragmentation.
s have space to explain things, whereas most
s are crowded.
Good user manuals make proper use of English or other applicable human language. The language available to the manual writer is infinitely more powerful than the language available to the GUI designer.
Contrary forces (such as guaranteed reversible actions, and uncrowded GUIs) moved to
Alternatives to User Manuals:
... ship a user manual, whether it's needed or not.
In general, I am in concurrence with this page, but I object to the above qualifier.
There are many situations where software falls short of the ideal and a user manual becomes the most efficient means to correct the shortcoming, at least at that time. If, however, the user manual is not needed, then do not spend the time, money, and resources to create, publish, and distribute a user manual. Ever read or even seen a user manual for a bank ATM or gas station POS (Point of Sale) terminal?
Yes, create a user manual when it makes sense to do so, but do not create one without need, and continue to improve software to eliminate the need.
I find that the best (most used) manuals are those walk users through
common scenarios
) of the domain. Start with simple scenarios and move up the complexity ladder. Describing specific buttons or options is usually best at the screen-level. In these cases, clicking a Help button or option that describes the options on the given screen and only the options on the given screen is sufficient. If somebody wants to translate this into a paper version for a formal "users manual", so be it, but few will bother reading it in my experience and not worth the cost.
Manuals that describe how to add, change, and delete (ACD) every last entity are dry and usually ignored, and thus are a waste of time. Perhaps describe the conventions for ACD rather than replicate the instructions for each entity/screen (if the scenarios are not sufficient to achieve this). The UI should make most ACD obvious anyhow. If they are not, then the app probably needs a rework. Of course there are usually a few exceptions for the tricky areas of a domain, but these can usually be covered via the scenario descriptions mentioned. In short:
Document common scenarios, starting simple to complex
Put specific screen-oriented help into the app instead of paper
Avoid documenting every Add, Change, and Delete operation for each entity/screen, except the tricky ones as scenarios (above).
If you need to document too much, then the UI may need a rework.
It seems to me that if an application ActuallyDoesSomething
, the use will need a manual to explain how to use this application to do that task.
One often-overlooked but particularly helpful thing in a user manual is extensive domain and/or background information and/or designer's notes that ties into the use of the program. The reader learns about the domain as it applies to the program as well as vice-versa, how they can make best use of the program, and what problems it was or wasn't intended to solve. This contrasts to a reader skimming over boring detailed manuals that tell step-by-step how to do things that the reader doesn't even know that they might need to do.
As an example, one may, for years, use just a few of the many features of a complex paint program laboriously editing images. Then switch to another one with fewer features, but which has a manual actually explaining why those features are there, how they can help and what can be done with them (instead of just how to use the UI to control them). The user may become much more productive and produce better results, using features that they never knew they needed. The software may be theoretically inferior due to fewer features, but in reality it is superior since it does a better job of solving the problem.
If the software could use added value or a competitive edge, it might need a manual.

CANFIELD - Lisbon came into Thursday's game at South Range searching for a sweep. The Lady Raiders came looking for a split. After 32 minutes on the court, it was South Range that accomplished its mission with a 48-32 win.
"I was proud that we got them after losing at their place earlier in the season," South Range coach Wayne Johnson said. "Lisbon is a good team. We're happy to get the win tonight."
The Raiders fell to the Blue Devils 50-49 in double overtime on Dec. 15, but no overtime would be needed to avenge that loss.
"You have to give it to South Range," Lisbon coach Jason Thompson said. "They played tough. They decided they weren't going to lose this game and they didn't."
If a decision was made, it was likely made in the third quarter. The Raiders took control of the game by scoring 20 points to Lisbon's four in the period, including an 11-1 run. Alexis Naples - the game's high scorer with 18 points -notched eight in the third. Steve Taylor added six points in the frame and Kelsey Maynard scored four.
Lisbon was held to just a field goal and free throw and committed nine of its total 28 turnovers in the in the quarter.
"We definitely converted turnovers in the third quarter," Johnson said. "We scored 20 points, but we more importantly we had six assists. We started to find each other."
The Blue Devils had trouble handling the ball in the first half, but were able to dominate the glass and keep the game close. Lisbon had 11 rebounds throughout the first two quarters. The Raiders came up with just two - one offensive and one defensive.
Despite eight first-quarter turnovers, the Blue Devils were down just 10-6 after one quarter. Lisbon turned the basketball over seven more times in the second quarter, yet trailed just 18-17 at the break. But the third quarter proved just too much.
"We had too many mental breakdowns." Thompson said. "We had breakdowns in the first half, but in that third (South Range) was able to convert and the game got out of hand real quick."
After trying to force too many things in the third, the Blue Devils started to take good shots and make good baskets in the fourth, but by that time the Raiders' lead proved to much to overcome.
"We can't decide when we want to play," Thompson said. "We can't take breaks. We have to play all four quarters."
Johnson echoed Thompson's sentiment.
"We stood around a lot in the first two quarters," Johnson said. "We can't do that. We have to perform for 32 minutes."
Aside from her 18 points, Naples also finished with six steals and 11 assists. Taylor added 12 points and five assists. Allison Oliver had a Raider-high five rebounds.
Lisbon's Lindsey Hayko and Pam Pierce tied for a team-high 10 points. Hayko, who scored all of Lisbon's first-quarter points, had five field goals on the night. Pierce hit three from the field and was a perfect 4-of-4 at the line. Pierce and Hayko also led Lisbon in rebounding with each nabbing five. Tiffany Ketchum chipped in four points and three assists.
The Raiders improved to 9-5 overall and 8-2 in the league. They host United on Monday. The Blue Devils are 9-6 and 6-4. They play at East Palestine on Monday.
In J.V. action, South Range came out on top of a 56-18 final. Holly Heck scored 14 points for the Raiders, while Sara Boyd had nine for Lisbon.
LISBON SCORING: Adri Sanchez 1-0-3, Cami Jackson 1-0-2, Julie Gauntt 0-3-3, Tiffnay Ketchum 1-2-4, Lindsey Hayko 5-0-10, Pam Pierce 3-4-10. TEAM TOTALS: 11, 9-12, 32.
SOUTH RANGE SCORING: Lisa Stewart 2-0-4, Starla Sharp 2-0-4, Kelsey Maynard 2-2-6, Stevie Taylor 6-0-12, Alexis Naples 6-5-18, Kristin Robinson 1-0-2, Holly Heck 1-0-2. TEAM TOTALS: 20, 7-13, 48.
THREE POINTERS: Lisbon 1 (Sanchez), SR 1 (Naples).

What is in this article?:
- Do you have adequate farm liability, property insurance coverage?
- The deductible question
- Farmers need to carry sufficient insurance coverage to insure the continuation of the business in the event of a loss. Two commons types of farm insurance are property and liability insurance.
The deductible question
Agents who work with agricultural producers strongly encourage their clients to sit down with their agent to review and update coverages at least once every three years. During this meeting, producers can add new buildings and update coverage levels for buildings in order to have sufficient coverage to cover the replacement cost for the structures. Likewise, they should increase coverage levels if there have been upgrades of major pieces of equipment e.g. tractor, combine etc. At this meeting, they may wish to analyze how deductibles on their policies influence their premiums.
The deductible is the amount that an individual pays out-of-pocket for expenses before the insurance company will cover the remaining costs of a claim. Producers may wish to think of a deductible as the amount of loss that they can sustain for an insurance claim and the business will continue to operate. For example with a $500 deductible on a $1,500 claim, the insured person pays $500 and the insurance company pays $1,000. Generally, higher deductibles will result in lower premiums for a given coverage level. Producers may wish to consider raising their deductibles to $1,000, $2,500 or $5,000 as a means to offset higher premiums due to increased coverage levels for a specific policy.
Premium levels are based on the frequency of claims, cause of the claim and the size of the claim. Insurance agents have stated that policy holders who frequently file claims as a way to offset some their premiums will have higher premiums than those who rarely file claims. In some situations, the policy will not be renewed by the insurance company.
Insurance plays an important role in protecting and preserving an individual's net worth when catastrophic events such as fire, weather related events or judgments occur. It is essential that a policy holder sit down with their insurance agent at least once every three years to review and update coverage levels so hard earned equity will not be lost or taken away.

Ashleigh Hughes was working on her bucket list.
She had just gotten out of a strict relationship, an engagement, actually, that she said made her feel stifled and harnessed. She was done. She was ready to go skydiving. And she was ready to buy a motorcycle, to zip around town on two wheels by herself.
She strolled around a motorcycle lot looking at the bikes, figuring out what she liked. She didn't realize that inside the shop, an employee named Christopher Horton had noticed her from behind the glass. He hadn't seen too many people who looked like Ashleigh shopping for bikes. He was intrigued but didn't go outside.
Ashleigh left and went to a different shop. She bought a blue Kawasaki sport bike called a Ninja, petite like her. She loved it, but some of her friends teased her about its size, said she should go bigger. She went back to Christopher's shop to look again. He saw her. He still didn't say anything.
Ashleigh decided to keep the motorcycle she had and left. Christopher asked his co-workers about the pretty blond who kept coming to look at motorcycles. They said she was sweet and told him her name.
He Googled Ashleigh. He emailed her a long note, saying all the things he couldn't verbalize at the shop. He told her he had a new puppy named Zeus, that he worked at the motorcycle shop and had seen her twice. She was a little wary of him, not looking for a relationship, let alone with someone she hadn't even met. But she agreed to meet him at the dog park.
At the last minute, she canceled. She felt bad right away and rescheduled a meeting at Quaker Steak & Lube for a motorcycle show. Neither of them rode their motorcycles. He wanted to bring his puppy. She didn't want to ruin her hair.
When they met, she thought he was really cute and he was smitten with her all over again. They walked around through the roaring engines of the motorcycles and didn't talk much, still.
A few days later, Christopher and Ashleigh had dinner at Island Way Grill, sharing some wine and finally connecting. They talked about his career in motorsports and hers in nursing. Ashleigh learned Christopher hadn't had a girlfriend in six years, and Christopher learned Ashleigh was a picky eater. He got her to try crab legs. At the end of the night he dropped her at her place. She thought it was a little weird that he didn't walk her up. A few minutes later, a text came through.
I should have walked you to the door.
They were together every day afterward. They rode their motorcycles together down highways and country roads. Ashleigh realized she actually preferred riding on the back of Christopher's bike, wrapping her arms around his waist until she felt so safe she could have gone to sleep. She went skydiving, and though he was afraid for her, he didn't protest.
They took cruises to Honduras, Belize, St. Thomas, the Virgin Islands, Mexico. On one cruise, Christopher first hid a video camera in Ashleigh's shoes on the counter of their room, then he gave her a Chanel watch and then a ring. He asked her to marry him. Ashleigh felt a release.
Ashleigh, 25, and Christopher, 30, got married Sept. 1 at the Event Factory in Tampa, a wedding venue designed to look like a fairy tale castle with a secret garden. They took a cruise for their honeymoon and came back and settled into their life together in Largo.
Christopher is now co-owner of his own motorcycle shop, Buy Here Pay Here Motorsports. Ashleigh visits sometimes, walking through the lot to meet her husband.

Top state officials address Police Jury convention
Shreveport, LA—More than 1,000 federal, state and local government officials gathered for the 87th Annual Police Jury Association Convention. This year's event was held in Caddo Parish at the Shreveport Convention Center from February 17-19, 2011. Attendees were given Congressional and state updates on a variety of issues. They also visited with over 100 interest groups related to the day-to-day operations of parish government.
Elected and appointed officials such as Governor Bobby Jindal, Secretary of State Tom Schedler, Attorney General Buddy Caldwell, Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain, State Representative Elton Aubert DEQ Secretary Peggy Hatch, DOTD Secretary Sherri LeBas, DNR Secretary Scott Angelle, GOHSEP Director Mark Cooper, and State Fire Marshall Butch Browning addressed the local government leaders during the three-day convention.
The convention was a special time for outgoing President Carl Pierson, Sr., of Caddo Parish, as he hosted the successful convention. During the Saturday night banquet Pierson, Sr., passed the gavel to incoming President Paul Naquin of St. Mary Parish.
"At this critical time in our economic situation, it is vital that all public servants, from the local to the federal level, work hand-in-hand to assure a better future for those we serve," says Naquin.
Topics of conversation ranged from redistricting, member services, state and federal budgets, local government financing, ethics, highway funding, tourism, emergency preparedness, drainage and the upcoming special and regular sessions of the Legislature.
Other officers installed at the annual banquet included 1st Vice President Gerald "Mike" McLeod of Beauregard Parish, 2nd Vice President Melvin Haymon of Vernon Parish and 3rd Vice President Lisa Nelson of St. Martin Parish. Other executive board members sworn in include William "Bill" Altimus of Bossier Parish, Mack Calhoun of Ouachita Parish, Gordon Burgess of Tangipahoa Parish, Francis Andrepont of Calcasieu Parish, Joe Bishop of Rapides Parish, Bernard Broussard of Iberia Parish, David Cox of Caddo Parish, Mike Huval of St. Martin Parish, John Marceaux of Jefferson Davis Parish, and Scott Perry, Jr., of Rapides Parish. Also included on the executive board are past presidents including immediate past president Carl Pierson, Sr., Sandy Treme of Calcasieu Parish, Sam Fulton of Vernon Parish, Richard Billings of Rapides, Bob Manuel of Evangeline, and Red Higginbotham of St. Martin. Henry "Bo" Lagrange of St. Mary Parish was elected as the new President of the Organization of Parish Administrative Officials and Elton Pickering of Beauregard Parish as President of the Louisiana Parish Engineers and Supervisor's Association.

Debt Collector Crusader Craig Cunningham in Dallas Observer
When I wanted to run a series on fighting debt collectors, I knew I wanted an expert. I was fortunate to have little in the way of debt (just a mortgage and student loans) so I had no personal experience with combating with debt collectors, but I knew someone on Fatwallet, Codename47, was a debt collector ninja. I had seen all his posts, how he helped people deal with unscrupulous debt collectors, and I knew he was our guy.
I, and hopefully you, weren't disappointed. I called him the real deal before he wrote a single post, that's how confident I was, and after the series was complete, I think we can all agree.
Recently, Craig was in an article by Kimberly Thorpe for the Dallas Observer. In it, we get a better understanding of why Craig has so much insight (bad bets and a lot of research!) and how people like him are fighting back against the system.
As you read his story, there are two things I hope you to notice – he never plays the victim and he never blames anyone for his debt. He took some bets that turned out badly and now is simply playing the game by the rules, catching debt collectors with their pants down.
I, for one, am glad to see a "little" guy giving the big bad debt collectors a run for their money. Serves them and their predatory practices right.

I have been interested lately in offline Wikipedia access and while searching I noticed that Best Buy was now carrying the WikiReader. This wasn't surprising, I knew Futureshop has been carrying it for $69.95 for a while now but Best Buy is currently selling it for $39.95. At almost half the price it is irresistible.
The WikiReader is a small handheld electronic device that gives you access to an offline, text version of Wikipedia stored on the 4GB microSD flash memory card hidden in the battery bay. It sips power from two standard AAA batteries which are expected to last about ~90 hours or about a year of typical use. I like a device that is power efficient.
It uses an Epson S1C33 E07 microcontroller and 3.5″ monochrome, reflective LCD screen. It is a capacitive touch screen with an on-screen keyboard. It is definitely not as nice as Kindle's E Ink screen and it certainly doesn't use as much power as a backlit screen but it may not meet the expectations of some today. I think the trade off is worth it for the low price and excellent battery life.
The snapshot of Wikipedia it shipped with was from June 2010 and doesn't include pictures, maps or illustrations. Updates are available through shipped flash cards for a charge or through free downloads from their site. If you wish to update to the September 30, 2010 (or Jan 15, 2011) snapshot it appears you need to use a larger flash memory card. They also have Wikipedia in other languages, Wiktionary, Wikiquote and Wikitravel available for download. They also now have 33,000 works from Project Gutenberg but you would need a 16GB flash card to fit both Gutenberg and Wikipedia. I will probably put the english Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote and Wikitravel on an 8GB flash card and put Gutenberg on the 4GB flash card it came with and keep it for "just in case".
I fear that many would feel this device is redundant in our smart phone infested world or with pervasive internet connectivity in urban areas. Before you discount this device consider that there are some definite uses. It doesn't take long in my part of the world to escape coverage. There are more than a few of us who can't justify the price of an annual data subscription. Roaming charges can be excessive while travelling and there are some who don't even use the Internet. Remember paper encyclopedias? The WikiReader is much smaller, easier to upgrade and less expensive than the paper based alternative.

Find the current for i1 and i2.
I know that all the resistors are in series. so can i just find the equivalent resistance, and calculate current?
for instance would i find the equivalent res. of 6 ohm and 12 ohm, then calculate current? im looking more for an explanation than just an answer.
Thank you

I understand why other people like them, but I've never been a fan.
pointyourtoe, I agree; they could go far. They seem to truly enjoy working with each other and I think a lot of people positively respond to that kind of on-camera chemistry.
There was a former Russian skater who used to compete, and now trains Thoroughbreds. She just had a big horse run the other week. Her name escapes me.
(I love to trot this factoid out and have probably done so before here at GS -- Also --
What is the second-oldest sporting event in the US, held annually and continuously? The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, of course! )
The Kentucky should be all about the horses and not some past skating stars who know nothing about racing. Fortunately I will be there and won't have to watch this crap on TV.
I actually like them. Not as much as Eurosport guys but I get what you're selling here.
I want to hear Johnny and Tara's commentary on these outfits:
I've heard that about the tournament, too, Mathman, but I don't think of it as exactly a national event.
Would LOVE to add it to the Johnny-Tara circuit, tho!

Put on your galoshes and join us for a trip to the National Weather Service! This 20-minute KET video for grades 5-12 takes students inside the Louisville office of the weather service, one of three regional offices serving Kentucky, for a behind-the-scenes look at the science of forecasting the weather.
The National Weather Service is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The agency's main mission is protecting lives, commerce, and property. Like other Weather Service stations across the country, the Louisville office operates around the clock, with at least three people always on duty.
During our tour, we learn about
- the mission of the National Weather Service.
- the professionals who work there, including meteorologists, hydrologists, electronic and computer technicians, and program managers.
- different types of weather forecasting.
- equipment and technology used to predict and track weather systems, including automated data collection, Doppler radar, and satellites.
- how forecast information gets to other government and business entities and to the public through an automated weather radio service and commercial radio and television.
- how to stay safe during a weather emergency.
- the role of volunteers in helping the National Weather Service monitor weather across the state.
The field trip supports Kentucky Academic Expectations in science, math, technology use, and practical living (see Academic Connections for a specific list) by demonstrating real-world applications of scientific knowledge and technology.

The Australian Conservation Foundation has lodged an appeal to the Federal Court's decision which found the approval of Adani's Carmichael coal mine to be lawful.
The federal government and opposition have agreed to slash funding for ARENA.
If you are a journalist with a query for ACF, please contact Senior media adviser Josh Meadows on 03 9345 1109, 0439 342 992, firstname.lastname@example.com or @JoshMeadows3.For general inquiries, contact us or call 1800 332 510.

New report shows no penalty for Adani if massive coal mine does more environmental damage than expected.
European think tank says moves to increase export capacity, commission new coal mines and drill more gas wells are irreconcilable with Australia's commitments as a signatory to the Paris Agreement.
The federal government's proposed $1.3 billion cut to the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) threatens more than 5,100 direct jobs in regional areas across the country, the Australian Conservation Foundation said today.
The Federal Court may have dismissed the Australian Conservation Foundation's challenge to the approval of Adani's Carmichael mine, but ACF is not giving up and is determined to stop the massive coal mine proposed for central Queensland.
Court dismissal turns into big, colourful public action.
The Australian Conservation Foundation will not give up its efforts to stop Adani's massive Carmichael coal mine, despite the Federal Court dismissing ACF's challenge to the federal government's approval of the mine.

Published April 21, 2014
With Dyngus Day rapidly approaching, the UB Libraries have added two new Polish-themed collections to its growing digital archives.
One collection, "Album Pamiatkowe – Buffalo's Polonia History," features dozens of turn-of-the-century pictures from the city's Polonia district, home to the annual post-Easter celebration.
Depicted are religious leaders, businessmen, local landmarks and more.
The images were first published in 1906 in a book that, when translated, is called "Souvenir album and commercial guide of the Polish settlements in the City of Buffalo, and neighboring villages in the State of New York."
The collection contains a 546-page PDF version of the entire book.
The second collection, "Polish Peace Posters," features 23 posters originally printed for the World Peace Council from 1948-78. Because they coincided with the Cold War, images of bombs and doves are aplenty.
"We took a look at our resources, many of which are rare, and identified some that we thought would be really useful online, available to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week," says Molly D. Poremski, curator of the Libraries' Polish Room.
"The Polish Peace Posters tell an important story of views in Poland and Europe during the Cold War," she adds. "Meanwhile, the Album Pamiatkowe is an incredibly rich source of information regarding Buffalo's Polonia district and history of Buffalo."
The Polish Room, located in room 517 of Lockwood Library on UB's North Campus, is open to the public by appointment only. For more information, contact Poremski at email@example.com or 716-645-7750.

Rooney Mara Is Wild in First Official Look of 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'
Rooney Mara's extreme physical transformation has become talks of the town since she was spotted on the set of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)". Now, a clearer as well as the first official look at her as Lisbeth Salander has been debuted in the February issue of W magazine which will hit newsstands on January 25.
Dressing as her character, Mara who dyes her hair black is seen baring her chest to show a tattoo of Salander's name around her neck while her hands are red with blood on the cover page. Inside the magazine, she goes racier by smoking and lowering her pants as if she is getting tattooed. Some other pictures which can be seen on W's official site features her with punk hairstyle.
The article reveals that Steven Zaillian's script of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" "departs rather dramatically from the book. [Mikael] Blomkvist is less promiscuous, Salander is more aggressive, and, most notably, the ending - the resolution of the drama - has been completely changed. This may be sacrilege to some, but Zaillian has improved on Larsson - the script's ending is more interesting."
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", directed by David Fincher, is currently shooting in Europe. Daniel Craig portrays Mikael Blomkvist with Stellan Skarsgard and Robin Wright Penn taking supporting roles. The movie is set for December 21 U.S. release.
Based on the first book in Stieg Larsson's best-selling "Millenium" series which has been turned into Swedish movie, the upcoming drama thriller revolves around ruthless computer hacker Lisbeth Salander and disgraced financial journalist Blomkvist who are employed to find missing girl Harriet Vanger by her uncle.

Her concert tour beset by ticket scalpers, Miley Cyrus says she managed to get some venues to add extra seats – and that while the shows will be a blast, they won't be worth what resellers are reportedly charging.
"We made (VIP sections) smaller, so the kids that wouldn't necessarily have had the chance to come, they can get in, but not for a fortune," Cyrus told Ellen DeGeneres on her NBC show on Thursday. "It's going to be a good show, but I don't think it's worth what it's going for. For the people that do get to come, I'm going to make it the best show ever."
The hugely popular 14-year-old star of Disney Channel's Hannah Montana begins a 54-date "Best of Both Worlds Tour" on Oct. 18. Tickets for the tour sold out in just minutes, and the state of Arkansas is now investigating whether scalping laws were broken there.
Some seats have reportedly resold for more than $2,500 each. Asked about that, Cyrus told DeGeneres, "Oh, gosh, it ain't worth that!"
Miley's father, Billy Ray Cyrus, who also appeared on the program, added, "Miley's doing the concert and the tour for the fans. It is sad that she's putting all this work behind it and really wants to make as many families and kids happy as possible. It's sad that with the Internet that the scalpers got a hold of the tickets first."
DeGeneres also asked Miley how she manages to keep her success in perspective, given that she is like the Beatles in terms of her popularity.
"I don't really know," she said. "I guess from watching my dad, just because he takes everything one step at a time, and that's kind of what he's taught me – just to not get yourself so wrapped up that you can't bring yourself back down to reality."
She added: "When I do see myself sort of slipping and sort of caught up in the little box I get put in, I try to do something that sets me out of the box and makes me different, makes me not be just like another girl on TV but also make me relate to everyone I'm with."

I Am Alive Review
Despite the flaws I Am Alive is an easy game to like. But while we should be glad this project wasn't killed off in development hell, the sad truth is that I Am Alive never gets a chance to live.
Combat is equally harsh, forcing you into tense showdowns where even pointing a gun at somebody is enough to reduce them to a wobbly mess. You start the game with a gun, but no bullets, and the game's numerous stick-ups become dotted conflicts of attrition and strategy. Killing somebody with a gun generally yields you their bullet (despite being able to fire dozens of shots, enemies can only ever drop a single round of ammunition), meaning you always prioritise armed enemies. You can also kick your foes into environmental hazards (well, two - big drops and open fires) if they refuse to surrender.
I Am Alive's combat mechanics are intriguing, but also primitive and distressingly repetitive. Ubisoft also doesn't really know what do with its concluding chapters, and eventually settles on giving you a hunting bow (with recoverable arrows) and devaluing its sense of struggle by ramping up its focus on combat. At first the occasional combat can be a struggle, but after you kill fifty people in a couple of hours you become the same superhero badass from every other action adventure on the market.
I Am Alive fancies itself as a human take on the survival of humanity, rather than another drab shooter. With beady, dead eyes and an emotionless face, however, the unnamed protagonist doesn't exactly ooze character from his dust-coated pores.
There's a bizarre alien quality to much of the supporting cast, too, who repeat their same lines of awkwardly-delivered dialogue every single time you pass trigger lines on the map. These victims scatter themselves around the world, and are supposed to be helpless fellow survivors in need of rescue, yet they never feel like they're anything more than lifeless game objects.
I Am Alive only really becomes a proper tale of human survival if you can look past the wonky mechanics and rough engine, if you can see past the rustic models and amateur dialogue, and if you can actually connect with the wailing cast of cardboard cut-outs. Ubisoft's vision is clear and ambitious, but it lacks the development talent and budget to be effectively realised.
It's not hard to knock I Am Alive, but despite the flaws it's also an easy game to like. But while we should be glad this project wasn't killed off in development hell, the sad truth is that I Am Alive never gets a chance to live.

Chairman opens Hoveringham pavilion
ECB Chairman Giles Clarke officially opened Nottinghamshire based Hoveringham Cricket Club's new pavilion last week during a trip to the region for the 1st npower Test Match at Trent Bridge.
As well as unveiling the new facilities on offer at the club, the Chairman was able to see the club's junior section in full swing as they prepared for their weekend fixtures.
The club now hopes the new pavilion will allow them to retain existing and recruit new members for their current teams, and start a youth team. The building will also provide wider access to the whole community for non-cricketing purposes, being used for charity events, sports functions, private events, and as a meeting space.
Set to benefit more than 1,000 people, the construction of the new pavilion was made possible following a £50,000 grant from Biffaward, a multi-million pound environment fund managed by the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts which uses landfill tax credits donated by Biffa Waste Services.
John Townsend, President, said: "The new pavilion has provided a fantastic opportunity for our club to open up our services to the whole community. The facilities will mean that more teams will be able to play at the club and benefit from the facilities on offer, as well as widen the scope for members of the community using the Club's facilities."

Swinney Punk'd by Young Gamecock Fans
May 3rd, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was more than happy recently to pose for a picture with two youngsters he took for Tigers fans … not knowing their true allegiances or intentions.
With Swinney smiling and standing behind them, both of the boys held up four fingers to symbolize the four straight victories that South Carolina has earned over its intrastate archrival.
"What makes it sweeter is that idiot Dabo is clueless," the source of the photo told FITSNews. "Just like normal."
Chances are excellent that someone got a copy of this photo to a smiling Steve Spurrier shortly after it started circulating.

Heads up, America: the President is not impressed.
During the U.S. women's gymnastics team's visit to the White House on Thursday, president Barack Obama posed with McKayla Maroney, pulling the apathetic expression that made Maroney an Internet sensation during the Summer Games in London.
Afterwards, the gold medalist, 16 – who's been mimicked by everyone from Maria Menounos to, perhaps inadvertently, Prince William – seemed uncharacteristically, well, impressed.

Even members of the "Fab Five" can take a fall.
Olympians McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman were both injured while performing on uneven bars during Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics in Ontario, Calif., over the weekend.
Maroney – who took home one gold and one silver medal following this summer's Olympic Games in London – fell following a simple dismount from the bars. The 16-year-old 2011 world vault champion had to be carried out of the arena by medics.
Raisman – who took home two gold medals and one bronze in London – suffered a fall after she failed to land a Shaposhnikova.

There's no slowing down for the Fierce Five!
Team USA's group of Olympic gold medalist gymnasts – Aly Raisman, Kyla Ross, McKayla Maroney, Gabby Douglas and Jordyn Wieber – began making their way through New York City, where they partied with Jordin Sparks, but not before attending a lighting ceremony at the Empire State Building.
Following Tuesday's taping of The Today Show, the ladies, with moms in tow, took a bunch of photos at the lighting ceremony and seemed to be having a great time, an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
"Everyone was asking McKayla about her little frown look that got all the online attention," the source says. "She kept getting asked to do it for people."
Following their busy morning, the girls, sans Douglas, got a chance to relax with new pal Sparks, whom they met on the set of Today.
The ladies joined the Sparkle star and her costars at the official afterparty for the film, presented by Alizé Coco, at the Yard at the Soho Grand Hotel.
"The girls were the hit of the party," a different source says. "Everyone wanted a picture of them!"

Gymnastics royalty encountered the real thing on Sunday in London, as four of Team USA's female Olympic gymnasts – out of the so-called Fab Five – were starstruck by an unexpected chat with the Duchess of Cambridge.
Kate, 30, attending the beginning of the event finals at Greenwich Arena, is a huge supporter of Great Britain's athletes at these London Games – but was impressed enough by the gold-winning American team to approach and offer her congratulations.
"Just met princess Kate with @jordyn_wieber @kyla_ross96 & @gabrielledoug she is so beautiful & so nice! I told her I loved her style lol :)," Aly Raisman wrote on Twitter.

Although China leads with the most medals – 61, including 30 gold, 17 silver and 14 bronze – Team GB's victories helped boost the host country's morale with an outpouring of spirit and success during days 9 and 10 of the Games.
Team USA experienced highs and lows as well, as the medal count grew to 57 – 27 gold, 14 silver and 16 bronze – with Serena Williams taking home two gold medals and fan favorite McKayla Maroney's surprising finish in the women's vault final.
Kerri Strug: The Fab Five Win 'Was a True Team Effort'

In 1996, gymnast Kerri Strug vaulted into history. The anchor for Team USA at the Atlanta Olympics, she competed on an injured ankle to help secure women's gymnastics their first-ever team gold medal – and Tuesday, she watched this year's 'Fab Five' win the second team gold. The now married mom of one is a spokesperson for Hilton HHonors's Support the Dream program, which allows fans to connect with Olympians. "Since I know how much the support of the fans means to the athletes, it's great to be part of a program where fans can send good luck messages to Team USA," says Strug, 34. While at the Games with her husband, Robert Fischer III, the Olympic gold medalist will blog for PEOPLE.com about her experiences in London.
I was thrilled to be in the stands to cheer on Team USA to a gold medal at the Women's Gymnastics Team finals. It brought back so many memories from the 1996 Atlanta Games. Congrats to all the members of Team USA and their families. We are all proud of you and proud to be Americans.
As I entered the North Greenwich Arena, I had butterflies in my stomach. This year's team is so mentally and physically strong, I knew they had what it would take to bring home Gold in the team competition.
My husband Robert and I had a great view from our seats and the arena was full of fans from every country, waving with flags and supporting their home team. Team USA started on the vault, their best event, and the first rotation set the tempo for the rest of the night.

Pakistan-printed currency notes testing Intelligence agencies
By Toby Antony - KOCHI
Published: 10th November 2012 09:17 AM
Last Updated: 10th November 2012 03:14 PM
The intelligence agencies are on their toes to detect fake Indian currency notes(FICN) being printed and circulated by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) using the same special currency paper used by Reserve Bank of India.
The state intelligence wing and Intelligence Bureau(IB) suspect that the ISI might be acquiring the special currency paper from same agencies who supply it to India.
The special currency paper being used by the RBI for printing the currency notes are imported from Brazil. However, for the last several months, the fake notes detected in several parts of the country were found to be made of the same material.
It has become difficult to detect fake currencies as even the thickness and weight of paper weight are the same. "It has become hard for the agencies to detect the FICN as they are being made using the same paper. Earlier, we could detect the fake notes by touch alone, owing to its poor paper quality. But now, we have to depend on the variation in print and metal bar to detect the originals. In case of fake notes, the bar will replaced by a pencil line and there are printing variations," said a state intelligence official.
The IB officials said that the Home Ministry will seek the assistance of the US security agencies to counter the ISI bid to destabilse Indian economy by pumping in fake currency notes.
The Home Ministry will soon conduct discussions with the US agencies for sharing the techniques used in detecting the fake notes. The FBI has a successful mechanism in place to detect the fake currencies.

County-run nursing homes in New Jersey could be headed for extinction. Four have been sold to private operators in the last 18 months, including Buttonwood Hospital in Burlington County, and Camden County now is considering selling its facility. And some within the industry suspect that the remaining 16 aren't far behind.
With local government budgets shrinking, county-run nursing homes — the government's traditional means of caring for seniors who lack money for a private facility — are steadily being privatized. New Jersey is joining a national trend: Government nursing homes are mostly a bygone institution elsewhere and represent less then 6 percent of nursing homes in the country, said Don Redfoot, an analyst with AARP. Outside the Northeast and Midwest, county homes are virtually nonexistent. In Pennsylvania, five county homes have been sold since 2010, with 32 remaining.

Almost at the end of cross-country practice, Tristin Burris came running up, asking her coach, "We still going?" "Sure," Stephen Kimes told Burris, giving her the workout.
Field hockey practice had just ended across the street. Burris was on the run from one sport to another.
"She didn't even stop running," Kimes said. "Boom, gone. We did four one-mile repeats. No break, no water, nothing."
Burris may be the busiest college athlete in America. The senior at Wesley College in Dover, Del., has lettered in five sports, six if you want to count indoor track and spring track separately.
She's played field hockey, run cross-country, and run track all four years. She has lettered twice in softball and picked up lacrosse her sophomore year, though she was new to the sport. She turned down a Division I scholarship in another sport, soccer.
