Special collections and archives play a key role in the future of research libraries–providing rich content that supports research, teaching and community engagement. However, institutions face significant challenges when working to capitalize on this value. To help address these concerns, OCLC Research conducted two surveys of special collections and archives over the past few years—one in the U.S. and the other in the U.K. and Ireland—in which over 80 percent of respondents indicate the need for education or training regarding born-digital materials.
Jackie Dooley, the principal author of the two resulting reports, concludes that "born digital" is:
Undercollected | Undercounted | Undermanaged | Unpreserved | Inaccessible
In response to this conclusion, OCLC Research launched an activity called "Demystifying Born Digital." The intent of the project is to encourage the effective management of born-digital materials by distilling the best information available into a form that would be less daunting to those just getting started. The intended audience is those with little archival experience, technology support or guidance.
The first task was to address the meaning of "born digital." OCLC Research published the essay "Defining 'Born Digital,'" which delineates nine types of born-digital content and identifies some of the risks and issues involved in their care. For complete details, see the "Defining 'Born Digital'" essay.
Next, an advisory group of experts was assembled that consists of some of the most experienced voices in the field—professionals who have written extensively on the various aspects of managing born-digital content. These experts were challenged to help OCLC researchers distill their collective knowledge into the very basics needed to get started.
OCLC Research is publishing this information in a series of short reports.
The first report, You've Got to Walk Before You Can Run: First Steps for Managing Born-Digital Content Received on Physical Media, tackles the first two steps in establishing control over born-digital materials: conduct a physical inventory and transfer the content from media that you can read in-house. For each, a few clearly stated steps were provided.
The phrase "media you can read in-house" begs the question, "What about the media you can't read?" The second report, Swatting the Long Tail of Digital Media: A Call for Collaboration, addresses that topic. Not every library or archive can gear up to read each medium. The report encourages outsourcing those you can't read to entities that can, whether that be other archives, a computer history museum or a commercial service provider.
While there was a good response to these early documents, a boost came when the Manuscript Repository Section of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) launched the "Jump In" Initiative. This initiative issued a challenge for archivists who hadn't yet started to deal with born-digital content on physical media in their collections to start by conducting the inventory recommended in our First Steps report. Thirty-four institutions stepped up to the challenge and 23 completed it. A wide-ranging discussion about the experience took place at the SAA annual meeting in August.
"It is encouraging that a community is forming that is willing to talk about the challenges and share tools, successes and lessons learned about managing born-digital materials."
It is encouraging that a community is forming that is willing to talk about the challenges and share tools, successes and lessons learned about managing born-digital materials. This community is clear about its needs for more guidance. Our team has received pleas from the "Jump In" participants and from other early implementers for additional details, which resulted in the report, Walk This Way: Detailed Steps for Transferring Born-Digital Content from Media You Can Read In-house, which was co-authored by my colleague, OCLC Research Diversity Fellow Julianna Barrera-Gomez. This report provides more in-depth guidance on approaches, tools and other resources for completing this part of the process.
The OCLC Research team has also heard a lot of ideas for future reports, including how to handle born-digital content that doesn't arrive on physical media (such as email files or documents on networked storage). There are a few more reports planned to help in prioritizing, processing and preserving—and we're eager to hear more about what additional information the community wants. While completing each phase of this project may seem like a milestone, it is actually just a stepping stone that moves us down the path toward providing access to born-digital materials, which is really the whole point.
Get access to all of the "Demystifying Born Digital" reports on the OCLC Research website. You can find out more about the background of this important project, read related reports and share your thoughts with us.

- Abstract
- We present a 200 ks Chandra observation of seven spectroscopically selected, high-redshift (0.75 < z < 1.03) galaxy groups and clusters discovered by the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey in the Extended Groth Strip. X-ray emission at the locations of these systems is consistent with background. The 3 σ upper limits on the bolometric X-ray luminosities (LX) of these systems put a strong constraint on the relation between LX and the velocity dispersion of member galaxies σgal at z ~ 1; the DEEP2 systems have lower luminosity than would be predicted by the local relation. Our result is consistent with recent findings that at high redshift, optically selected clusters tend to be X-ray-underluminous. A comparison with mock catalogs indicates that it is unlikely that this effect is entirely caused by a measurement bias between σgal and the dark matter velocity dispersion. Physically, the DEEP2 systems may still be in the process of forming and hence not fully virialized, or they may be deficient in hot gas compared to local systems. We find only one possibly extended source in this Chandra field, which happens to lie outside the DEEP2 coverage.

Spring is just around the corner, but there's still that lingering chance of chilly days where you'd rather stay inside. We all know there are tons of fun things to do outside in Pure Michigan, but there are also great places to go for some indoor fun throughout the state.
We've put together a roundup of just some of Michigan's best things to do indoors below.
A visit to Michigan's art, science and history museums can be a great way to spend the day, and with over 400 museums in Michigan one may be closer than you think. There is also plenty of variety in the types of museums across the state. Many areas have local history museums like the Marquette Regional History Center/Marquette County History Museum that showcases the Marquette area's rich history. Children's museums like the Grand Rapids' Childrens Museum are educational but also hands-on, which can be fun for both children and their parents. The Motown Historical Museum located in Detroit is devoted to the legendary music that was started right in "Hitsville USA," where the museum is located. Also in Detroit is the world class Detroit Institute of Arts, which features over 100 galleries with art from ancient to modern times. And we can't leave off The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn – America's greatest history attraction and the #1 cultural vacation destination in Michigan.
Indoor Water Parks
With a number of exciting indoor water parks right here in our state, there's no need to travel far for some fun! Whether it's a day trip or a full weekend getaway, nothing brings families closer together than a Pure Michigan water park adventure. Just a few of the indoor waterparks in Michigan include the Fairview Beachfront Inn & Waterpark in Mackinaw City, The Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City and Zehnder's Splash Village Hotel & Waterpark in Frankenmuth.
Catching a flick is a great way to spend the day, and there are many movie theaters around Michigan to choose from. If heading to the normal theater isn't your thing, Michigan is home to several classic movie houses that aren't your normal cinema. The State Theatre in Traverse City was originally built in 1918 and rebuilt in 1923 after a fire. It showed the first talking movie seen in Northern Michigan in 1929 when it was known as the Lyric Theatre. Now it is home to the Traverse City Film Festival and is open year round showing art house films. The Redford Theatre is Detroit was opened in 1928 and shows "classic movies the way they were meant to be seen," accompanied by organ and all.
For more ideas, visit michigan.org. Where's your favorite place to visit for a day of indoor fun?

The Ukrainian woman known as the "real-life Barbie" says she's done with food and water, and wants to live off light and air alone.
"In recent weeks I have not been hungry at all," Valeria Lukyanova told the International Business Times. "I'm hoping it's the final stage before I can subsist on air and light alone."
The New Age practice is known as Breatharianism. Its followers neither eat nor drink, believing they can exist solely on "cosmic micro-food."
Lukyanova, who has stirred controversy with her doll-like features and ultra-thin waist, has said she uses her appearance to promote her "spiritual ideas."
But critics like Jezebel.com have accused her of simply starving herself in order to maintain her doll-sized measurements.
Lukyanova also believes in reincarnation and has claimed to have been in contact with transdimensional beings.

Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
Before diving into the pumpkin patch, I whistled for the wonder dog and we made a stop in Livingston Manor (www.catskillartsociety.org) for a reception honoring the winners of the fifth annual Jeff Bank photo calendar contest. With the photographers on hand, it was cool to see their works, hear about where and when they were shot and get a sneak peak at the 2014 calendar, which is now available (www.jeffbank.com), with proceeds going to Catskill Art Society. The theme, "Four Seasons of Nature and Landscapes in Sullivan County," is well represented by a slew of talented residents, and although there were no pumpkins to be found, Eldred, NY's George Haas managed to capture October's autumnal image beautifully. Each of the other months is equally well depicted, but I was on a mission to locate Peter and the little woman, so we bid adieu to the Manor and headed for Grahamsville, NY and the 28th annual Giant Pumpkin Party held at the fairgrounds. Having never been before, I was keen on checking it out. The children's parade and contests are legendary, and the event is a yearly tradition for hundreds who came out in droves to support the library (www.danielpiercelibrary.org) and have a blast doing so. Carnival games, a haunted house and horse-drawn rides are only the tip of the iceberg at this annual celebration, and Dharma and I spent several hours, admiring all of the costumed revelers participating in a wide variety of contests, including pumpkin decorating, pumpkin growing, and a country bake-off featuring (wait for it…) pumpkins. The kids were decked out in amazing outfits, and the adults were having just as much fun competing for prizes in the (duh) Giant Pumpkin Contest, with cash awards on the line. As usual, a slew of dedicated volunteers is responsible for making this event possible and for facilitating such out-of-control fun. I spoke with folks who have been attending for decades including Eileen Dooley and her daughter Ella who were dressed as a pirate and Tinkerbell respectively, and Eileen told me that although she now lives in California, she "makes the trip every year to share a little bit of her childhood" with the next generation.

SNL does Willie and Omar
"Willie Randolph" and "Omar Minaya" made an appearance on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update this past Saturday. The sketch itself wasn't particularly clever, but I figured it was worth a screen shot.
Um…have they looked at Omar Minaya lately? He does not have a George Michaelesque ceasar haircut.
1 Comment
Yeah, I was really disappointed with the skit. The Conan O'Brien skits with Mr. Met were much funnier. Good call-"Omar" definitely looks like Ceasar there.

As my workload is pretty heavy at the moment, I will be unable to meet up with Mr Graham until next week, but he kindly gave me permission to publish his initial report, so here it is..... NAME: T*** Graham TIME OF SIGHTING: 10:10pm DATE: 1/5/13 - (May 1st for any U.S readers) NATURE OF SIGHTING: UFO LOCATION: Hednesford Hills DETAILS: My son and I were out using our RC plane on Hednesford Hills last night and we saw some lights in the sky. At the time listed above, we saw four bright blue lights moving up and down vertically in the direction of Littleworth Road. We tried to get some pictures but my phone is quite old so they look rubbish and you cant see anything on them. I don't know if you might have any idea as to what it was it was? I've personally never seen anything like it. It was almost as if the lights were running up and down a wire attached from the ground to the sky.

By the end of the year 2010 all three major video game consoles on the market will have some form of motion-sensing game controllers: Microsoft Corp. will have the most innovative, yet, the most questionable Natal, Sony Corp. will have Arc and Nintendo will keep offering its Wiimote with improved precision. Which of the three will be the most successful going forward? At least one analyst believes it will be Natal.
"I think that the Sony motion controller will have some problems gaining traction, since it is not an "in the box" solution. That will probably limit adoption to one or two million at the outset. Natal is different... It's only one piece (the camera), is likely to be cheaper, and I think it will come in the Xbox 360 package with new consoles once launched, meaning far deeper penetration," said Michael Pachter, an analyst with investment banking and brokerage firm Wedbush Morgan Securities, in an interview with PS3center.net web-site.
Microsoft Xbox 360 video game system is already rather inexpensive to make, granted that it will turn five years old this year and improvements in semiconductor process technologies as well as overall declines in pricing of electronics manufacturing. As a result, it will be rather easy for Microsoft to simply bundle its Natal with new Xbox 360 consoles in addition to sell them at a rather low price. This will mean that there will be more Natal devices sold compared to Arc, which will hardly be bundled with rather expensive PlayStation 3 systems. Therefore, Natal, may end up being more popular among gamers.
On the other hand, Natal is likely to be a more complex device to design games for compared to Sony Arc, therefore, it is hard to predict which controller will become more popular in the longer term. According to the analyst, Microsoft may simply subsidize development of next-gen Natal-based games to further boost its popularity both among developers and gamers.
"Sony's internal development is top notch, so I expect the launch titles to be fun, and likely on par with Wii Sports for quality, but ultimately, I think that the motion controller will only sell to 20% or less of the PS3 audience, limiting its appeal to third party publishers. A year or so after launch, there will be 10 million [Natal units] out there, which will probably attract more third party support. Also, I think Microsoft will subsidize third party development to make it a success," Mr. Pachter is reported to have said.
Sony Computer Entertainment specifically delayed the launch of its Arc motion-sensing controller from Spring 2010 to Fall 2010 in order to let the third-party developers to create games for the platform. However, Microsoft is also not standing still and foresees availability of many high-profile titles once the Natal is launched in Autumn 2010.
"The PS3 and Xbox 360 will run neck-and-neck for the next 6 months. Exclusive releases such as God of War III, Heavy Rain, MAG, and Gran Turismo 5 will help keep momentum in Sony's favor through the summer months. Once the Natal is released, however, we do project that the Xbox 360 could regain the lead for a short period of time," said Jesse Divnich, vice president of analyst services at EEDAR.

Last week I wrote about the 72-year old archer from Des Plaines who harvested what he thought were a pair of elk, only to find out they were European red deer that had escaped from a farm. It didn't matter which species they were, legally, because there are no proscribed seasons for either in Illinois because they do not reside here.
I got quite a bit of feedback on the issue, and I got a little more aggravated the more I thought about it. The guy sees what he thinks are three elk, so he decides to shoot two of them. He knows there are no elk in Illinois. What if these animals were part of the Clam Lake herd that the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation established in Wisconsin?
I know it's highly unlikely that a trio of elk would wander 300 miles south, but stranger things have happened, have they not? If that was the case, this hunter certainly made sure that they'd never have a chance to repopulate, having left only a single with no mate.
If this hunter knew the animals were legal to shoot because there is no season because there technically are no animals, what went through his mind when he saw them? He had to know that the animals had either migrated to Illinois, which would have made them incredibly rare, or he had to have known they were escapees from a private owner.
In either case, I feel the hunter was incredibly shortsighted and extremely greedy. These animals go about 500 pounds each. Wouldn't one be enough to stock a freezer? In any case, he should not have unleashed his arrows, in my humble opinion.
I just sent this off to Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller: "Marc, I have attached two columns I have recently written touching on the subject of the European red deer that were harvested on private property near Antioch. It is my fervent belief that any species of animal that does not have a hunting season designated for it should not be allowed to be harvested. I cannot possibly imagine any valid reason for allowing an unregulated species to be taken at will. This is something that could be corrected with a simple stroke of your pen. I think it would be simple to accomplish and stop people like the Antioch hunter of taking unfair advantage of a loophole in the conservation laws."
Here are a couple of interesting responses to my question as to where the "elk" might have come from:
Art Peterson wrote, "There is a large captive elk herd just east of Lake Geneva. Strays from there could easily have gotten to Lake County. The elk are visible from the road. I've seen them while riding rustic roads. Did not stop or note the name. The ranch/farm is just northeast of the intersection of Rte. 50 and Cranberry Road. Also, there are some captive buffalo operations in the area, in case anyone finds a shaggy stray munching Pampas grass in their backyard."
Thanks, Art. I hope none of those buffalo accidentally get loose and wander past the tree stand of that 72-year-old guy from Des Plaines.
Mike Sullivan showed his great memory, writing, "Just thought I'd let you know that there was a very similar story to yours about killing an elk just off Hogback Road, 20-25 years ago. It had somehow walked off the Kelly property on Country Club Road. Supposedly, the shooter called the IDNR and was told there was no season and that it would be OK to kill it. I'm sure some of the details have blurred over the years, but I do remember the Kellys had a few elk, a bunch of Chinese deer and a couple of Bactrian camels wandering around their property back then."
I responded that I hoped that the camels were smart enough to stay put because I've heard that camel backstraps are very tasty.
Bob Bailey wrote, "Your Nov. 22 article in reference to car/deer crashes and alleged elk being shot in Illinois was interesting. You might be interested in checking on a recent car/elk crash. As I recall it occurred in early October in the Sawyer County part of Clam Lake, Wis. A small car struck and killed a 10-year-old bull elk with large antlers. The car was destroyed and the driver broke her neck when the elk landed on top of the car and pushed the top down on her head."

I am sure many readers responded to my request to contact your legislators to voice your demand for a positive vote on the Sportsmen's Act of 2012.
This one seemed like a no-brainer to me. A diverse coalition of angling, hunting and conservation organizations worked for many months to create this historic bill containing 17 major provisions for anglers, hunters and aficionados of fish and wildlife conservation.
Incredibly, the bill failed to pass because of what was termed "a party line vote on a procedural motion."
Said Gordon Robertson, vice president of the American Sportfishing Association, "The shocking aspect of this bill's defeat is that it occurred over a budget argument giving the Secretary of the Interior the ability to increase the duck stamp price $10, thus pumping more dollars into wetland conservation for both fisheries and wildlife benefits.
"Adding salt to the wound is that the increase is strongly supported by waterfowl hunters who champion the user pay-user benefit concept for fish and wildlife conservation along with all sportsmen and women as well as the fishing and hunting industries."
To see how your Senators voted, visit the Sportsmen's Act of 2012 page on KeepAmericaFishing.org.

Hunting/fishing report
Northern Illinois: Dave Kranz from Dave's Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: "The second firearm deer season should be as good as the first, with mild weather in our area. Hunters will find yearling does and does that did not take during the first season giving us a second rut. Doe in heat scent should be used at this time to get the buck to stop where you have a good shot.
The Fox River is still providing good open water fishing for the nonhunters. Walleye and white bass will hit an extra-large fathead on a jig head. It is also time to dust off that ice tackle."

Imagine sitting in a conference room at a large table with spreadsheets and proposals spread out before you. Laptops are opened, information is being projected on the screen, everyone around the table is intense. It looks like a normal business meeting, but this one is different than most. Its topic concerns matters of life and death.
Perhaps you are used to making decisions that deal with heart wrenching, life and death issues. I am not. Neither were most of the others sitting around the table that day. As employees at Compassion's Global Ministry Center, we're used to setting strategy and making plans for programs that others carry out. Rarely do we sit and decide what country will get help …what child will get food from Compassion this month?
But that is exactly what we've had to do in recent months. As the Global Food Crisis has touched the lives of children across the globe and throughout Compassion's programs, the need has been immediate, it's been urgent, it's been huge. Our country offices have submitted proposals for over $16 million to address the current need.
While fund raising efforts catch up to the need, and while dollars slowly come through the door, we sit and make decisions on who is "neediest". We attempt to make the money stretch and try our hardest to listen to the Lord as we direct portions of what has been raised to various countries.
We've gone back and forth with our country offices, asking, "If we can only send you 10% of what you asked for, how would you use it?" The reply is what you'd expect – "we'll feed only those with the most severe need" or "we'll provide 10 kg of rice instead of 30 kg to each family".
We're left feeling inadequate. It feels like we are trying to play God – deciding who will eat and who won't. Who'll be helped and who won't. We're uncomfortable doing it because of the implications of the decision, but we're even more uncomfortable because we do it from afar. We know that our country staff, and even more so, our church partners, will have to be the ones to face the children, to see their hunger.
On the one hand, we are joyful that we have money to disburse. We've sent about $3 million so far – to provide emergency food supplies for families. Yet the need is still so great.
Compassion serves over a million children. Just do the math. Add in two or three family members per child served. That's a lot of people. That's a lot of need. Suddenly, $3 million doesn't sound like so much.
Sure, not everyone is desperate or starving. Sure, the families have some means to help feed themselves and provide for their needs. But many, in fact maybe even most, are hurting because of this crisis.
I've turned to prayer to settle my heart in this matter. Only God can bring comfort when the food runs out. Only God can turn the Church upside down and rally hearts to open up pocket books so that sharing of resources happens like never before. Only God can give me peace that I've been faithful to do what He has asked me to do…and to trust that He's big enough to carry this burden.

Uberti has re-created some of the special-order
single action cattleman six-shooters that would have been right at home
on the dangerous streets of Dodge City, Kansas.
The Uberti 1873 Cattleman series replicates many popular
variations of the Colt 1873 Single Action Army, arguably the
best-selling pistol ever produced.
Not long ago, an employee at Colt was looking through old
invoice files and found a special order for a Colt .45 Peacemaker with a
4" barrel, nickel finish, and ivory grips. The request, penned on
stationery from the Long Branch Saloon in Dodge City, was from lawman
Bat Masterson.
Soldiers, lawmen, and outlaws alike had a fondness for these
single actions. Now you can claim your own piece of six-shooter history
by ordering one of these classic Uberti revolvers for yourself.

The project goal is to build a school that will benefit the students, parents, and residents of a tiny traditional village in Cameroon. All funds for this project will go toward building materials and labor needed to construct a two-classroom building. This school building project will benefit the community in two distinct ways. First, the project will enable students to stay in place and attend school without the difficulties of traveling a long distance each day. As of now, over half of the students walk to neighboring villages to attend school. This project will allow the students, ages 5-23, to stay and go to school in their own village, rather than walking every day to a school outside of their community. As many as 80 students could attend the school. After the completion of the school building, the students will be involved with The World Map Project. A map of the world will be painted on one side of the building to promote geography literacy.
The second advantage of the project will be to enroll girls in the school and conduct a series of workshops on the importance of girls' education. Few parents send their girls to school because they would rather have them stay at home and help with the cleaning and cooking. They are brought up to think their education is not worthwhile, for their future is to inevitably stay in the home. In addition to the construction of the building, sessions will be held by the Peace Corps Volunteer, alongside the Parent Teacher Association to promote the enrollment of girls into the school. We will have monthly interactive sessions on family development. Empowering women and girls within the community and what role that plays in development are critical issues that we will discuss and look at ways to address these issues.

- Title
- Task knowledge patterns reuse in multi-agent systems development
- Author(s)
- Cheah, WaiShiang; Sterling, Leon; Taveter, Kuldar
- Abstract
- Template-based knowledge models can be viewed as design patterns for specifying a task. The models can serve as reusable artifacts during the development of a multi agent system using the MAS-CommonKADS methodology. However, based on our observation of existing patterns, we note limitations of reusing those patterns in agent development. This paper presents task knowledge patterns that are described through our improved agent oriented template structure. The improved template structure presented in this paper provides an alternative approach to defining task knowledge patterns by incorporating a two dimensional view of agent oriented models. The task knowledge patterns introduced in this paper describe task knowledge in an agent context, while explicitly providing a description designed to encourage use and reuse in agent oriented software development. A demonstration of the reuse of task knowledge patterns in agent oriented modelling is presented in this paper. Specifically we show how a particular task knowledge pattern, selection of relevant source materials, can be used to rapidly prototype an adviser finder multi-agent system.

ResNet in the Resident Halls
Before students can access the Resident Network in their dorms, they must register their computer on the network.
Students must register their computers on the Resident Network by going to resnetreg.slu.edu and following the instructions. This registration can be completed at home before coming to campus. Once the registration is complete, the student will be able to access the Internet via an Ethernet connection.
Please note, while Gaming consoles are allowed in the Residence Halls, they are not allowed on the wireless network at this time. ITS and SGA are working together to have a better solution for gamers on campus.
Looking for more help? Download the step-by-step instructions for the registration process.
Not enough jacks? If you live in Fusz Hall, Marchetti Towers (East and West), or Marguerite Hall, there may not be enough wall jacks for each student. Students living in these residence halls can borrow a mini hub from the Student Service Desk in Busch Student Center (Room 137) for one school year. The mini-hubs must be returned at the end of the school year or the student will be charged $50.

Hawaii's deaf and blind residents will soon have a centralized place to meet and share resources.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie on Thursday signed a bill appropriating $400,000 to establish and operate a deaf and blind service center.
State Rep. John Mizuno, who introduced the bill, says scattered services make access a very daunting task. He says a service center has been a dream for the deaf and blind community for decades.
The center will provide a central location for services and professionals such as vocational and financial specialists, counselors and audiologists.

Extremely versatile, the Yum Money Frog can be buzzed along the surface, waked just below, Texas-rigged and flipped or even used as a jig trailer. Featuring paddle-like feet that produce an enticing water disturbance and tantalizing vibration, the Yum Money Frog also benefits from highly detailed frog patterns and exclusive 3D red eyes for added fish attraction. A unique belly slot also aids in proper rigging and an increased hookup ratio. Yum recommends rigging the Yum Money Frog with a 5/0 Wide Gap Hook for the best results.

Comments: Plain and simple, to expensive. Better than the gambler toad but not better than the stanley ribbit.If you end up buying them cheap than it's a good deal.Rig it on a owner twistlock 5/0 1/8oz hook.
From: John: St. Cloud, FL
Comments: i cant believe all the bad reviews. take this from me. i was using regular frogs got hits the first couple days and then the bite started to go down. so i picked this up. caught tons of fish and the hook up was great. i jigged it sub surface and still caught fish. pike too. only bad thing is that it would roll, but i would still get a hook up so as long as you have a sharp hook dont worry about the rolling. big problem is that its $8 and after every fish the lip rips and i cant rig it again. although it still is worth it when the bite is bad.
From: Josh: USA
Comments: First of all I want to say i really like Yum Baits... With that said This bait,,, Not so good...
From: Mike: Simsbury, CT
Comments: Zero problems with this frog, skips great, cast great, caught alot of fish on them. Durable.
From: Trey: Athens, AL
Comments: not a good frog. it tends to roll over even when rigged correctly
From: Colby: Pace, FL
Comments: Ill have to second Andrew, This is by far the worst frog i ever came in contact with. A shame because the buzz frog they offered before worked wonders
From: Big Smallies: Sykesville, MD
Comments: The worst frog I have ever used. The action is really bad. The rage toad and the Stanley ribbit frog have way better action.
From: Andrew: Germantown, MD
Comments: This is a great product that YUM has come out with. I tend to use a lot of YUM soft plastics and like anyone who has used any of their products know that they catch fish. However you seem to be replacing them/buying new one more frequently than you would like. Anyways, that's another story. The bottom line with this product is that is catches fish. The frog has great action but the two flaws it has are once u put a 5/0 hooks in it does not float. Also the durability is okay. Ull catch your 5 or 6 fish one each frog. Overall great product.
From: Alex: Erie, PA

When science fiction writer Ray Bradbury died last month, the world mourned the loss of a literary giant.
Northwestern Michigan College professor Garyn Roberts mourned the loss of a friend.
Roberts, an English instructor at Northwestern Michigan College, has been working on a biography of Bradbury and grew close to the author over the years. Recently, the Express sat down with Roberts to talk about Bradbury, science fiction and other literary forms that grew out of the "pulp" publications of the early 20th Century.

Hearing is scheduled for 3 p.m. Friday
Published On: Feb 15 2013 01:36:39 PM CST
A plea hearing is scheduled for 3 p.m. Friday for an Argyle man accused of starting a fire last September that killed his three children, ages 3, 5 and 7, as well as his unborn child.
Armin Wand was in court earlier this week for a motion hearing ahead of a scheduled trial. He faces four counts of first-degree intentional homicide and one charge each of attempted homicide and arson.
His wife, Sharon Wand, and their 2-year-old daughter survived the fire.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice announced the court hearing a few hours before the hearing in Darlington.

For Immediate Release
April 9, 2010
Illinois celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Prekindergarten Program for at-risk children
Pre-K Legislation passed in 1985 has since served more than 800,000 at-risk children in Illinois
SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois State Board of Education recognizes the 25th anniversary of legislation that established the state's Prekindergarten Program for Children at Risk of Academic Failure. Since its inception, this nationally-recognized program has offered high quality preschool education services to more than 800,000 at-risk 3- and 4-year-olds throughout the state.
"I want to commend all those who helped pass this historic legislation and all those teachers and administrators who continue to work in the field of early childhood education," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "We know their efforts have changed lives; that children who participate in these programs make crucial gains and are more likely to be ready and be successful in school."
Early childhood organizations around the state will join others throughout the nation April 11-18 in celebration of the National Association for the Education of Young Children's "Week of the Young Child."
The Prekindergarten Program for Children at Risk of Academic Failure began with a $12 million grant in 1985 and several thousand children. Two more programs were added in 1988; an Early Childhood Model Parental Training Program and the Prevention Initiative, programs that provide early, continuous and comprehensive services for at-risk families and their children. In 2006, The Preschool for All Children Program was established, opening preschool doors for more children in Illinois. All programs combined currently serve more than 100,000 children with $340 million in state funds.
Early childhood funding has increased or stayed level for the past 25 years with the exception of the current fiscal year when funding decreased by 10 percent.
"This was one of the most important pieces of legislation that we've had in Illinois," said Barbara Bowman, founder and faculty member of the Erikson Institute and Chief Early Childhood Education Officer for the Chicago Public Schools. "The evidence from the economists indicates that one of the most cost-effective strategies we can use to improve education for all children is early education."

- Exact quantum phase model for mesoscopic Josephson junctions

- Anglin, J. R.; Drummond, P. D.; Smerzi, A.
- Abstract
- Starting from the two-mode Bose-Hubbard model, we derive an exact version of the standard Mathieu equation governing the wave function of a Josephson junction. For a finite number of particles N, we find an additional cos 2φ term in the potential. We also find that the inner product in this representation is nonlocal in φ. Our model exhibits phenomena, such as π oscillations, which are not found in the standard phase model, but have been predicted from Gross-Pitaevskii mean-field theory.

People think of rats as creepy, crawly, disgusting creatures. Little do they know, a domestic rat can be as cute as a puppy! Our pet rat, Twitch, is adorable and playful. She loves to burrow, climb, and cuddle. She was named after a mouse character in a children's book, but when we saw her in the store, she lived up to her name. She jumped right out of the salesman's hands and ran for the door! To this day, she still loves to bolt.
Rats can be cute!

Fan support placeholder
This is my cheek. This is my cheek on Mets. Any questions?
Folks, I screamed so hard for our team last night that I literally can't talk today. But in true 26th man (and woman) fashion, I will rest up and be back later for more. God, I can't wait.
I've got some photoshop lightening, cropping, etc. to do with my pics, but when I'm back soon, it'll be so you can enjoy the Shea NLCS Game 6 experience along with me. (And also meet some other bloggers! We had a meet-and-greet before the game, which was a ton of fun. In the pics? Yeah, look for the shortest blogger and who do you get?)
Diamondvision kept letting fans know all night that the team loves us. We got messages from David Wright, Paul Lo Duca, and Carlos Delgado. All about how rocking we are. Well, Metsies. Expect more tonight!!
More soon! xx
(P.S. For any of you who want to rock the Mets body art, the clubhouse store sells temporary tattoos for $4 that–I learned–truly do come off easily with rubbing alcohol. I think it's an extra fun way to support the team!)
2 Comments
nice tat.
Please get your rest so you can be there to cheer our team on. Those of us who can't be there are counting on you to cheer in our absense. I was cheering from home and applauded Maine when he exited. When the final out was recorded, I then felt it was safe to truly let loose. : )
That's nice that Shea puts up the player messages.
Let's get them again tonight Mets!!!!!
I am so pumped for tonight's game, Ill be in the Mezz section thanks to a friend. But i already have my world series game 3,4,5 tickets ready so please mets win win win tonight. I am going to be partying all night tonight if they win tipping cars over so try not to drive to the game lol.

Admit you were wrongAugust 24,2013
Admit you were wrong
Now that the new murder charges against John Grega have been dismissed by the Windham County states attorney for lack of evidence, where do we go from here? Mr. Grega was thrown in prison for almost 20 years for a crime he no doubt did not commit. So what is he to do about that? For that matter, what are we to do about it? There appears to be a disconnect here, and it is scary.
The law enforcement and local authorities seem to still believe that Mr. Grega did kill his wife, but they cant prove it and they ran out of places to test DNA. This apparent refusal to even admit the possibility they erred and that an innocent man went to jail is typical of the approach to things these days. As Niccolo Machiavelli, the Italian authoritarian, was fond of saying, Id rather have the people fear me than love me. That was his way of keeping his subjects in line. Nowadays we have the cover your butt approach to the same control of the people issue. I guess things really have not changed since the 1400s.

Expiration Date:?Apr 2020Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.13 lbs (0.06 kg)Shipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

I take chromium pic every time I east something starchy or sweet. It keeps my blood suger at an even keel and when I had my check up recently my blood suger was right on target (despite family history and risk factors). This brand works just great and the price is better than anywhere I have seen.
I haven't noticed anything different since I started taking this supplement. I have not noticed any changes to my craving for sweets or any other supposed benefits from taking Chromium Picolinate. I also haven't tried any other brands of this same supplement, so I can't really compare. I guess it's worth a try since I also haven't noticed any negative side effects either.

No problems with this product. Pills are tiny, easy to chew, have no taste.

I don't know if this really works or not. I'm taking this for about five months, But I weigh just the same. But it's okay. I know it takes time. I hope to see an apparent result.
Excellent tool! I advise everyone
