Our institution is proud to house a robust collection of specialty materials relating to fashion, such as sketches, magazines, books, patterns, fashion plates, photographs, ephemera, and even personal designer archives. However, archive collections take an enormous amount of time and dedication to organize in order to make them accessible to students, researchers, and the public. We've had fantastic Library and Information Studies interns help us facilitate these projects (in fact, we're seeking one more intern!), and today's blog post follows the initial steps to ordering a scattered and delicate archive.
Below, intern Marissa Maggs walks us through the process of organizing our prized Tina Leser Archive, a rare collection of scrapbooks, fabric swatches, and sketches by the famed mid-century American designer. Marissa is an MLIS graduation student at UCLA who has a special interest in fashion, history, and photography - and we are so grateful for her role in streamlining our Special Collections!
After cataloging Special Collections photographs, the second project I undertook during my time at the FIDM Museum was the preliminary processing of the museum's Tina Leser Archive. Tina Leser (1910-1986) was a mid-century American designer who was well known for her swimwear under the Gabar label and the global influence her designs exhibited.[1] Leser's husband donated a collection of her materials to the FIDM Museum, consisting mainly of scrapbooks, which contain her sketches and corresponding fabric swatches. In addition to the scrapbooks, the collection also contains loose scrapbook pages, loose sketches, loose swatches and paper ephemera like newspaper articles.
Leser's scrapbooks
Loose scrapbook pages
The biggest issue presented by the Leser Archive is its inherent deterioration. Not only are the scrapbook pages brittle and prone to breaking when touched, Leser also adhered her sketches and swatches to the pages using household tape, which causes two problems: the tape loses its adhesive qualities over time, and it stains the paper or fabric underneath it. When the tape is no longer sticky, there is nothing holding these sketches to their respective pages other than gravity, so any movement risks the fabric swatches being separated from their corresponding sketch.
Sketch and swatches that no longer have any tape keeping them connected.

The Value of Institutional Investor Monitoring: The Empirical Evidence
Bernard S. Black
Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law; Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI)
UCLA Law Review, Vol. 39, pp. 895-939, 1992
This Article collects the available evidence as of 1992 on the potential value of institutional investor monitoring of large U.S. public companies. The evidence is suggestive rather than conclusive. There are a number of systematic shortfalls in the functioning of large public firms. Institutions could potentially address some of these shortfalls. The institutions are best able to address issues that are common to a number of companies, and less able to respond to company specific failures. Large institutions do little monitoring, but there is some evidence that other large outside shareholders can engage in valuable monitoring, and little evidence that greater shareholder oversight is harmful. Monitoring by financial institutions in Germany, Japan, and Great Britain appears to have significant benefits.
In a companion paper, Agents Watching Agents: The Promise of Institutional Investor Voice, UCLA Law Review, vol. 39, pp. 811-893 (1992), http://ssrn.com/abstract=1132082, I survey the empirical evidence on the value of large shareholder oversight of managers.

The investigation into a late-night fire at a furniture resale store on Ruth and Osage on Wednesday continues.
Witnesses reported seeing a white truck drive by the resale shop, throwing something at the building.
Captain James Brown of the Corpus Christi Fire Department said the fire was intentionally set, but he cannot confirm that someone in a white truck drove by and set the fire.
Felipe 'Chucky' Valerio's Corner Flea Market is located at Ruth an Osage. His business has been open since January, and right now he is hoping to salvage something from the fire; but things don't look good.
Valerio resold everything from beds to clothing. Most of those items were destroyed in the fire, which started Wednesday night at around 8:30 p.m. The state fire marshal was called in along with a K-9 unit to try and figure out what exactly started the fire, but nothing was found.
"The most important thing, nobody got hurt," Valerio said. "It didn't spread to the neighbors, or nobody else got hurt. This can be replaced. We can open the resale shop again, keep on going."
Mary Rodriguez lives down the street from the business, and loves shopping there. She promised to help Valerio restock his store when and if it reopens.
The fire department said the building suffered heavy fire damage, and they are not sure if it can be saved. But Valerio wants to reopen, and his customers are willing to help him do just that.

Diving deep into Jonah Keri's best-seller looking for secret messages from the future--or, at least, ominous foreshadowing.
You'll recall Jonah Keri's The Extra 2% as a peppy history of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays' growth out of their gross adolescence and into their handsome manhood as the Rays, but it ends with an omen:
The idea behind the extra 2% -- finding ways to gain that little, but essential, edge on the competition -- will always exist, in baseball as in business. It just won't always belong to the Tampa Bay Rays.
And then you close the book. No, wait. There's an epilogue:
July 11, 2016 6:00 am
The one thing right about the Rays right now is their rotation. Time to trade some of it?
I guess the good news in Tampa Bay is that, after drafting 13th or later in each of the last eight Junes, they're looking at a top-five pick in 2017. Other than that, the news is grim. The AL East keeps getting tougher, really. The Red Sox will feel the pain of the penalties levied by MLB in the wake of their bonus-bundling bungle, but they still have a strong farm system (including close to the best single prospect in baseball) in support of a very talented team, and a whole bunch of money. The Yankees have been disciplined lately, though not as aggressive about rebuilding as some would prefer, and if they're poorly positioned this year and next, they make up for it by being very well positioned for just about every foreseeable season thereafter. The Orioles keep surprising people, which, hey, that could end anytime, but we're in Year Five of the at-least-respectable Dan Duquette Orioles Era. And then there are the Blue Jays, whose future is a bit uncertain but who have been downright dominant for long stretches over the past two years. When last the Rays snuck up on the division, they had two giants to slay. Maybe they helped cut those giants down to size, but they're now facing twice as many serious opponents.
That's not to say that competition is the Rays' only problem. Their Opening Day payroll, just south of $67 million this year, has been essentially flat since 2009. In 2011, right before the current CBA took effect and made the Draft much harder to manipulate, the team had 10 of the first 60 Draft picks. To even approximate the aggressive use of those picks they envisioned, though, they had to cut their spending by nearly 40 percent from the previous year. The spike in national TV revenues over the last few years and the windfall the league just made by selling off a slice of MLB Advanced Media make the failure to raise payroll a tough one to explain, but if we assume ownership will continue to constrain the baseball operations element this way, then we can also assume it will be tough for the Rays to keep up with the rest of the league for a while—maybe until they're in a more viable big-league environment.
June 23, 2016 6:00 am
Fielder for Kinsler was supposed to be the fix for both teams' surpluses, but the 2016 season has put the clubs' returns in stark relief.
Three offseasons ago—November 20, 2013 to be exact—Detroit and Texas made a rare one-for-one, star-for-star trade between contending teams, with the Tigers sending five-time All-Star first baseman Prince Fielder to the Rangers in exchange for three-time All-Star second baseman Ian Kinsler. In addition to the obvious star power involved, this particular trade had some interesting money-related factors and featured the analytical juxtaposition of a traditional slugger with shiny RBI totals and negative defensive value being swapped for an up-the-middle defender with less of a bat and a far more varied all-around game.
Three-and-a-half years later the trade looks like a blowout victory for the Tigers, to the extent that they added one of the best all-around infielders in the league and saddled the Rangers with a bad player on an albatross contract that runs through 2020 at an annual salary of $24 million. All of which is much different than things appeared around this time last year when Fielder, not Kinsler, was chosen for the All-Star team on the strength of his .339/.403/.521 first half that seemed to be proof of a full recovery from the neck surgery that halted his first season in Texas after 42 games.
Fielder's production fell off in the second half, as he hit .264/.348/.394, and this season he's been arguably the worst everyday player in baseball. WARP sees him as producing the sixth-worst overall value, with all five of the lower-WARP players—A.J. Pierzynski, Mark Teixeira, Dioner Navarro, Ryan Howard, Chris Coghlan—playing part-time or sitting on the disabled list. Fielder has started 67 of 72 games for the Rangers, hitting .203/.273/.325 with his usual bad defense and poor baserunning, which is how he's the lone big leaguer with more than 200 plate appearances and a WARP worse than -1.0. Dating back to last year's All-Star break Fielder has hit a combined .235/.313/.356 in 140 games.

Yu Darvish returns in full force, the Royals stage an unlikely comeback, and the Mariners embarrass themselves on the basepaths in new and creative ways.
The Weekend Takeaway
May 6, 2016 6:00 am
The same team that employed Willy Aybar, Josh Lueke and Josh Sale has also made a number of positive contributions to the cause--which is unusual for major-league baseball.
For Jake Odorizzi, Rays pitcher, husband, father, the decision to step up to fight domestic violence was so easy.
Sometimes it's seemed, rather obviously, that there's a code players follow about such things. Players will donate their time, money and voices to other causes in need of resources and attention. MLB has championed many causes that are woven into the fabric of the baseball experience, particularly research and funding to fight ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). That work has been admirable and helped improve many lives. But when it comes to relationship violence, well, we're getting into a tricky area, aren't we?
Many in baseball have been accused of domestic violence and sexual assault, and prior to this season the policy for punishing players for those actions was weak or absent. Players weren't going to criticize teammates. The silence through the years has been stunning and shameful.
But when Odorizzi was presented with an opportunity two years ago, there was no code of silence he felt the need to adhere to.
He was motivated by the relationships that ground him, and he put into action the idea that fighting domestic violence isn't just a women's issue. It's a human rights issue and it's an issue for a family man. For him, it's just as important for men to stand up for women who are suffering or who have suffered. And when he was approached to take the REAL (Relationship Equality & Anti-violence League) Promise at the University of South Florida, at the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event, he was quickly on board.
"[The Promise] is typically designed toward men. Long story short, do the right thing," Odorizzi said before a game last week. "Treat everyone with respect, and at no point should you raise a hand to a woman. It's more in depth than 'be polite.' For many, even that's hard to do. I don't understand bringing yourself to hurting your wife or girlfriend or child's mother. I believe everything I said."

Outstanding arms from week three, including Strasburg, Jose Fernandez and Drew Smyly.
We're now three weeks into the baseball season, such that the relative quality of opponents is beginning to wash out as pitchers continue to tour the league, while emerging trends start to become more reality and less fluke. Let's take a look at a trio of starters who had multiple starts last week, and whose performances left an impression.

Bestiaire Trailer (2012)
19 October 2012 Factual, Foreign 72 mins
A popular sensation in medieval Europe, bestiaries were catalogs of beasts featuring exotic animal illustrations, zoological wisdom, and ancient legends. The documentary unfolds like a filmic picture book where both humans and animals are on display. As we observe them, they also observe us and one another, invoking the Hindu idea of "darshan": a mutual beholding that initiates a shift in consciousness.

Excellent 4.0 /5 from 117 reviews
The hotel had a great staff! The hotel itself was very clean spacious and nice
Not in a good location. Ceiling had cracks, not a very clean bathroom, vent had strange smell. Room service comes before noon. Called to reschedule room service after we left for the day, scheduled a time, came back to an uncleaned room. Front desk manager was rude and said unable to find reservation, did not attempt to help. Had to call Marriott to get reservation number for him, rather than him looking for it himself. Will not stay there again.
Stayed for just one night this time on a business trip. I have stayed here multiple times. The coffee maker had water from before and used coffee pouch was still in there. Lousy housekeeping. The room was pretty comfortable and everyone on front desk very friendly and welcoming. The hotel has a manager's reception in the lobby area every day, which is quite nice. On this particular evening of my stay, there were fish tacos and beer. And plenty of it.
Careful- if you have somebody with limited mobility, each of these units have steps. The bigger units have a flight to climb. Not good for my 82 year old mom. Not a lot of hot water for showers/baths. Some road noise and squeaky floors from the unit on the 3rd floor. Breakfasts are okay, just became tired of fake eggs (but they have fruit). Staff was helpful.
The room and location were great, but the real treat of this hotel is the staff. As someone who travels a LOT for business, it's so welcoming to have a kind staff that cares about their business. I will be rebooking at RI the next time I'm in Kansas City!

Cristal et Bronze
(approx.12x6x1 inches)
This exceptional hand made artistic object, combines brass covered with fine gold and obsidian stone. Each piece is assembled in the manufacture of Chateau Landon in France, since 1937.
Gold is applied on Bronze using an electrolysis technique, it's a long and painstaking task. The electrolysis technique consists in plunging the piece of bronze in a bath of chemical containing gold particles. A direct electric current is then applied between the liquid solution and the piece of metal. Slowly, one by one, each particle of gold is electrically "glued" to the Bronze.
Luxury for the bathroom.
Your order of Cristal et Bronze, Comb tray Gold will include free Shipping on orders of $150 or more.

Yandex, the leading search engine in Russia, has expanded its mapping capabilities by purchasing a license for digital maps from NAVTEQ, the leading location provider service. In yet another move expanding their worldwide search services, Yandex has purchased a license for highly detailed maps of Europe, North America, Australia, and developed countries in Asia to expand their Yandex.Maps product.
The maps are licensed to show intercity motorways and highways, urban traffic networks, streets, and buildings. Previously, Yandex provided little mapping services outside of Russia and Ukraine. Last year, using a prior license from NAVTEQ, Yandex provided map information for the country of Turkey. Because of its popularity, Yandex has now expanded their reach considerably.
"Our users have already appreciated high-quality detailed maps of Russia, Ukraine with the search function and other useful features such as routing, traffic information, satellite images and panoramic views. We continue to enhance our map services for Belarus and Kazakhstan. NAVTEQ's content will help us make Yandex.Maps a comprehensive, all-purpose mapping service that can answer users' questions about countries throughout the world," said Maria Orlova, head of Yandex.Maps Production and Quality Control Service.
Through the Yandex.Maps API, Yandex will allow website owners to embed maps of various countries into their pages. Yandex plans to continue to gradually add new map content to both its desktop web version and its mobile version and mobile apps, eventually weaving their way to a detailed world map service at Yandex.Maps.
Yandex is Russia's largest and most popular search engine, enjoying more than a 60 percent share of the search market. NAVTEQ is a Chicago-based company and the leading global provider of geolocation content around the world.
Over the past two months, Yandex has added to their ever-increasing line-up of products including video search and face recognition in image search. Last Fall, Yandex invested $15 million in U.S. search upstart Blekko.
What do you think, is Yandex taking strides to move into the U.S. search space? With all the Google privacy policy concerns, is the time right for them to do so? Would you consider using a U.S. version of Yandex?

Go to Tagaytay and when you reach the rotonda go to the direction of Taal Vista Lodge. Lampasan mo pa 'yon and even the arch which is the boundary of Tagaytay. Just stick to the main road. Look out to your left for Evercrest (?) Country Club (its prominent so you won't miss it), formerly Batulao, then turn left there. Again, just follow that road and further along you have to turn right at tumbok mo na ang Caleruega. Memories are made there.

kahit may multo dun nde mo na maiisip kse sobrang romantic ng place...
fyi, may bagong tayong parang church din sa bungad before ka pumasok ng caleruega, ganda din sya, forgot the name, pero syempre nothing beats caleruega, kakaiba tlaga pakiramdam pag nandun ka
April 15th, 2005, 04:06 PM #6
Lampasam mo lang ang boundary ng alfonso and batangas straight lang do not turn left. Just after an Ark you can see a Petron station after the station siguro 300 meters after that you will see evercrest. Left ka na dun. there is a guard at the entrance just ask for directions.
April 15th, 2005, 04:51 PM #7
guys, thank you very much for the directions. Medyo familiar na ako dun sa mga landmarks na binigay niyo. Based on the descriptions you have all mentioned, i can't wait to see the place. The wedding reception will be at Sonia's Garden, pero i guess it would be easier for me to go there since may mga kasabay na ako punta dun.
again thank you to all of you.

we visited the place last month. to our suprise there was an entrance fee of 20 pesos. dati naman wala. sabi nung pari to discourage daw ung sobrang dami ng tao na ginagawang picnic area ung place.
i wonder kung me entrance fee din, if you re attending a wedding.
April 15th, 2005, 07:49 PM #10
2 or three years ago they already imposed the 20 peso entrance fee. If you are attending the wedding you don't have to pay. You just have to use the steep stairs located beside the chapel. Usually there is a guard that controls the crowd of the said gate.

Aloe Blacc's "Good Things" was one of the Great Things of 2010
2010 was a tough one, especially if you were still unemployed or if your name was Barack Obama -- despite a few 11th hour successes with the lame-duck Congress. The economy still flailed, the rich got richer while the poor got poorer, and the politicians still dawdled as most of the nation's biggest problems went unattended. But ever the optimist, I decided that my last post of the year should be a tribute to the things that made the past year endurable, if not, at times, outright beautiful.
1. The Mahler Year: the world celebrated the 150th birthday of my favorite composer, Gustav Mahler. Sure, composer anniversaries can be an express train to overexposure, but Mahler fought hard to turn every pain and setback in life into something others could derive meaning from, and for that we owe him a world of gratitude. If you're looking for a way to explore Mahler's music for free, visit www.medici.TV -- full disclosure, they are a client of mine -- and hear Christoph Eschenbach conduct all nine symphonies with the Orchestre de Paris.
2. Sondheim's A Little Night Music on Broadway: I was there the first night Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch joined the cast. Peters' rendition of "Send in the Clowns" was one of the most perfect and moving moments I've experienced in a theater.
3. Two great books: On the fiction side of things, Jonathan Franzen's Freedom made plenty of "best of" lists this year, but that's no reason not to put him on the top of my own. Turning to non-fiction: Although I haven't finished it yet, Ron Chernow's Washington has been a revelation thus far. Finally, a flesh-and-blood portrayal of the father of our country, warts and all.
4. What idiot box?: With so many channels coming on line each month, there's a lot more junk on the airwaves than ever before, but for the discriminating viewer TV has actually become a reliable source of quality entertainment. I'm glad for Glee: it's contrived and manipulative, but it has more than enough lump-in-your-throat moments to make it well worth the investment. Modern Family and 30 Rock are as good as TV comedies get. And while it ain't cheery, Mad Men continues to be a work of true TV art.
5. A few terrific films: I wish the studios wouldn't wait until the very end of the year to release so many hot new titles all at once, so my own picks for "Best of 2010" will necessarily exclude at least five that I'm still dying to see. Still, I'm happy to join the chorus of acclaim that the unfailingly entertaining The Social Network has received. The luminous beauty of The Kids Are All Right, a paean to the alternative family, put it in a class of its own, particularly Annette Bening's radiant and at times heart-breaking performance. And Jim Carrey's star turn as a gay con man in I Love You Phillip Morris is a tour-de-force: one of the most exhausting and exhilarating characters to ever inhabit a movie screen (Ewan Macgregor as his Southern bell of a jailhouse boyfriend turns in an equally winning performance).
6. The iPad: For reading in dim-lighted places, and private movie watching when you are too lazy to get out of bed, this new device provided more than enough pleasure to me to justify the hype.
7. Netflix: okay, they don't have enough great titles available for instant download, but for sheer entertainment value, this essentially bottomless supply of film entertainment is hard to beat. Some newish as well as classic films I was glad to have discovered through Netflix this year include City Island (2009), Bergman's Smiles of a Summer Night (1955), Stanley Kramer's Inherit the Wind (1960), HBO's Elizabeth (2005) with Helen Mirren, Preston Sturges' Sullivan's Travels (1941), Sergio Leon's Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), and Charles Walters's High Society (1956).
8. Politics not as usual: John Stewart's exposure of Republicans' 9/11 hypocrisy, and his role in getting Congress to finally deal with the medical costs facing first-responders to the tragedy, was heartening. The video says it all:
|The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
|Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c
|Lame-as-F@#k Congress
And how about the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," a landmark decision that gave common sense a victory over legalized discrimination -- righteous!
9. Recordings of note: From dozens of wonderful recordings by classical musicians, I'll single out just a few. Sir Charles Mackerras, who passed away this year, hardly made a bad recording throughout his long and remarkable career, and both of his recordings of several Mozart Symphonies for Linn records are splendid; and for quiet, late-night listening, you'd be hard-pressed to find an album as beautiful as Paulo Pandolfo playing Carl Freidrich Abel's solo suites for Viola da Gamba (Gloassa). Pushed to pick one non-classical title, I'd have to go with Aloe Blacc's Good Things, which mixes soul and other influences, and lyrics focused on social justice, to powerful effect.
10. Proud moments (and a thank you): a man in my profession can't help but be happy when his clients succeed, and I had much to be thankful for this year. I'm glad that so many critics and audience members are supporting Alan Gilbert in his work with the New York Philharmonic. Just over the last few weeks, three different critics picked their production of Ligeti's Le Grand Macabre as one of, if not the very best, classical music events of 2010. Deborah Voigt's debut at Café Carlyle in a benefit for the classical radio station WQXR was pure joy, and her performance as Minnie in the Metropolitan Opera's centenary production of Puccini's Fanciulla del West just a few weeks later was, for me, a deeply moving experience. Bard SummerScape's production of Schreker's opera The Distant Sound revealed a score of haunting beauty and a composer who should no longer languish in obscurity. Simon Rattle's Metropolitan Opera debut, conducting Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande, was a transporting experience, even if I only caught the dress rehearsal (Rattle's inspired interview with Charlie Rose was icing on the cake). The Dallas Opera's production of Jake Heggie's Moby Dick went to the top of my list for most moving experience with a new opera. Daniel Hope's performance of his "Air" program at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in December was irresistible. For all these achievements, I offer a humble thank you to my friends and colleagues.
I am dedicating this post in loving memory to my larger-than-life and exceedingly generous stepfather, Steve Grabow, who passed away on Sunday, December 19. His dedication to our family will always be a source of inspiration, and his encouragement of my many endeavors, professional and otherwise, is a gift for which I am profoundly grateful. I will sorely miss our weekly conversations about film, amongst many other things.

Maine Sea Grant's biennial wall calendars are here!
In Memoriam
With the turn of the year, we've been reflecting back on the centennial of Acadia National Park and the National Park Service.
As the Sea Grant extension associate who covers Maine's deep south, I collaborate routinely with my partners on the other side of the border – New Hampshire. One such partnership is with University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension's Community Development specialists.
Two-thousand sixteen marked the 100th anniversary of Acadia National Park and America's National Park System.
NOTE: This blog was written by Skylar Bayer, a graduate student at the University of Maine, working on a Sea Grant-funded project with Dr. Rick Wahle of University of Maine, and Dr. Pete Countway of Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences.
This year's foliage was the most stunning and prolonged display of color in recent memory, a vibrant progression of crimson, orange, gold, and russet that went on for weeks and weeks. While the drought certainly had something to do with it, warming temperatures are also responsible for later peaks in fall foliage.
November is National Native American Heritage Month, a time to recognize "the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the United States." On Thanksgiving, we come together in shared humanity and celebration of the lands and waters that sustain us. The original residents of the continent accommodated European colonists, shared their knowledge of where to find food and shelter. They ate together—Homo sapiens trying to survive in the same landscape.
Our Director for Research, Dr. Damian Brady published a paper along with Dr. Robert Steneck and former graduate student, Jennifer McHenry (lead author) titled, Abiotic proxies for predictive mapping of near-shore benthic assemblages: Implications for marine spatial planning. In this paper researchers identified important habitat variables and spatial gradients that correlate with abundance, diversity, and commercial value of species assemblages in the Gulf of Maine using a remotely-operated vehicle (ROV).
Between the head of tide above Bangor to where it widens into the bay at Searsport, the Penobscot River shifts from a flowing freshwater waterway banked by cedar and pine to a brackish, wave-lapped marsh with a rocky shoreline. In this estuary, salt concentrations fluctuate as the winds and tides push sea water and sediments back and forth.
This year I had the privilege to travel to the Netherlands as part of my sabbatical research on the topic of stakeholder engagement in community planning for flood defense. The process included interviews with 15 Dutch practitioners from all levels of government, as well as private contractors, community groups and non-profit organizations. The result was 23 hours of audio recordings for me to work through in search of common themes.
NOTE: This blog was written by Nicole Ramberg-Pihl, a graduate student at the University of Maine, working on a S
Effects of temperature and ocean acidification on larval lobster development – UMaine graduate student, Jesica Waller, along with Dr. Rick Wahle and colleagues published a paper on the joint effects of ocean acidification and rising temperature on larval lobster development. Their results suggest that elevated temperatures associated with projected end-century warming trends cause larvae to develop faster but also induce physiological stress, leading to increased mortality rates.
NOTE: This blog was written by Jacque Miller, a graduate student at the University of Maine, working on a Sea Grant-funded project with Dr. Alice Kelley
Along the coast of Maine are places where, twice each day, rivers flow backwards and then forwards in an everchanging diorama of freshwater, saltwater, rollocking rapids and tranquil calms. These are the eight "tidal" or "reversing" falls, found where rivers and bays make a narrow passage to meet the sea.
NOTE: This blog was written by Thew Suskiewicz, a graduate student at Université Laval in Quebec working on a Sea Grant funded project with Dr. Robert Steneck
The following story on Signs of the Seasons: A New England Phenology Program was published on the NOAA Education and Outreach Facebook page on August 9, 2016.
A new publication by Dr. Yong Chen and colleagues, "An evaluation of underlying mechanisms for 'fishing down marine food webs'" takes a closer look at a metric, mean trophic level, commonly used to evaluate fishery sustainability. This paper adds to a long list of publications by Dr. Chen addressing the emergent patterns and underlying processes involved in the management of marine resources. Check out Dr.

5 fresh spring drinks
By Jessie Price, April 27, 2009 - 4:36am
Cinco de Mayo means it's time to bust out some of your favorite Mexican recipes and start pouring the margaritas. I like my margaritas on the rocks, with salt, please. And I prefer to make them with fresh lime juice—forget the premade mix. You probably have your own favorite take on the margarita…and I'm not going to say it's wrong, but I would like to suggest a few other delicious drinks that are equally wonderful for a Cinco de Mayo celebration.
The photo above is the Salty Chihuahua. It's sort of a cross between the salty dog (vodka, grapefruit juice and a salt rim) and a margarita. It has tequila, Cointreau and grapefruit juice. Go for a good-quality juice like Odwalla or squeeze your own. You get vitamin C and vitamin A in this drink. Here's the recipe.
Here are four more of my favorites:
Island Limeade: This limeade-and-dark-rum drink works with store-bought limeade, but it's even better with homemade limeade. I go for Gosling's brand rum. Be careful, these go down really easy!
Strawberry-Coconut Daiquiri: If you love frozen tropical drinks, try this one: it's amazing. Plus strawberries are in season now.
Watermelon Agua Fresca: This is a great nonalcoholic drink made with fresh watermelon.
Shandy: Yes, this is a British-inspired drink, so it's a bit of a stretch for a Mexican holiday. But this mix of "lemonade" and beer is just so fabulous and refreshing made with Mexican beers like Corona or Dos Equis (the green one) that I had to include it.
What foods are you going to make for Cinco de Mayo? Tell us what you think below.

Shubin begins chapter one by explain the hierarchy of living things and their connection with fossils that existed billions of years ago. The making of science begins with an inquisitive thought. He asks "How can we visualize events that happened millions and, in many cases, billions of years ago" (Shubin 13). Although he claims that 99 percent of all the original species does not exist anymore, our understanding of the present 1 percent is a good precursor to the other 99 percent. By use of inquisitive science, he uses the zoo as a good laboratory for observation. According to the observation, all the amphibians share a similar vertebrae pattern. By inference, all the living organisms share a common ancestor due to the similarity in body structure. It also took experimental science to gather the pieces of evidence together. According to him, "It took us six years to find it, but this fossil confirmed a prediction of paleontology" (Shubin 15). It is interesting how real life observation of common phenomenon can be combined with practical investigation to come up with a new set of truth. This is the art of making science. At times, discoveries are made in the process of carrying out our daily lives. For instance, Shubin illustrated how he discovered the uniqueness of a man's hand during his anatomy classes. ...

Hi can your player hide the source of embed player, like for example if I embed YT video with your player, can it hide the source from right click or the YT branding url?
All you have to use is the YouTube video ID, so no code embedding.
You can't hide completely the YouTube logo. Our player uses 'YouTube modest branding' and YouTube logo will appear when the video is pause and when the mouse is over the video.
For fullscreen background, due to the fact that the plugin will cover the entire screen no matter the resolution so the black stripes will no be present, the YouTube logo will not appear. Please check the live preview demo: http://www.videoplayerhtml5.com/universalvideobackground/the_full_screen_youtube.html
Hello! Where are the video controls on Vimeo videos? I cant see them in fullscreen version
For the video player you have controls in full screen http://www.videoplayerhtml5.com/universalvideobackground/the_fixed_width_vimeo.html
For video background the controls are not visible because is a background and only the video appears: http://www.videoplayerhtml5.com/universalvideobackground/the_full_screen_vimeo.html
I mean I cant see vimeo default controls here http://www.videoplayerhtml5.com/universalvideobackground/the_full_screen_vimeo.html
how are they hidden?
From plugin settings.
If you show them, since the plugin will to cover the entire display and leave no black stripes, the controls will be somewhere beneath.
Hi, I am using the audio only version, but it wont play on background. Even if I change tabs the audio will stop playing.
I'm sorry, I don't understand what do you mean by 'audio only version'.
Please send me on firstname.lastname@example.com the link where you have the player, to take a look.

I am sure that it will keep baby nice and warm. It is made with a nice four ply yarn and should work up fast. This one to save for a later date."
"The wavy rainbow baby blanket is one of the cutest that I have seen. The colors are so bright that a baby will enjoy looking at it. The blanket could also be worked up in other colors that would be great for that special little one. this is not for a beginner, so if this is your first try at crocheting you may not want to try it. Looking forward to working on this."

Photography for Artists and Crafters

A guide to taking great photos to use in your next scrapbook, homemade card or other photo project. These tips will help you take perfect shots every time.
Photography For Artists and Crafters
- Know your camera. Read your camera manual and refer back to it if you have any problems. It is very important you know what all the buttons, selections, and features are and what you do to use them. Cameras have settings that help you take better up-close portraits or far-reaching landscapes. Cameras have buttons that adjust for available lighting, from a cloudy day to bright midday sun. By using the available technology, you will be rewarded with better photographs. Once you know how to use your camera, the best advice I can give is to practice as much as you can. This means keeping that camera handy for any and all photo opportunities.
- Create the scene. Do more than aim and click your camera. Take charge and get the photo you want. As you look through the viewfinder, take time to really see what's going on. Ask people to move closer together for a better shot. Tell Grandpa Ralph to lean slightly to the left or right. Add a prop. Remove a hat. Do whatever it takes to make the photo better, tell a story, or, better yet, make you smile.
- Light might. The most vital part of every photograph you take is the light. It affects the appearance of everything you photograph. Harsh light can make your human or animal subjects squint and grimace. Not enough light results in shadowy darkness in which details can be lost. If the lighting is not right then move yourself or your subject. Check the settings on your camera and adjust for bright light, cloudiness, incandescent, or florescent light and moonlight.
- If you are using a camera with film, film speed also affects the resulting exposure. Knowing you will have a day in bright sun photographing running children calls for a different film speed than a day of indoor flash photography capturing posed family groups.
- Learn when to use your flash to fill in with light and when you should use your red-eye reducer. According to Kodak, the number one flash mistake is taking pictures beyond the flash's range. Photos taken beyond the maximum flash range will be too dark. As a general rule most cameras have a maximum flash range of less than 15 feet. You can find your flash range in your camera manual.
- Digital cameras will give you options to select indoor and outdoor lighting. It's important that you select the correct lighting to get the best results.
- Eye to eye. One-on-one eye contact can bring a photograph to life. When taking someone's photo, remember to get to that person's eye level. This is especially important when photographing children. You may have to kneel, bend, or hunch, but the effort is worth it. Your subject doesn't always have to look directly at the camera because by being at eye level you create a personal and warm feeling to the photo.
- Get closer. When you look through your viewfinder it is natural for you to focus all of your attention on the subject. However, your camera isn't doing the same. Standing too far away can lead to your subject getting lost in the landscape or background. Move closer so you can see more detail. Or if your camera has a zoom lens, let the lens do the work.
- Keep steady. Nothing blurs a great photo faster than unsteady hands. Hold the camera with both hands and gently push the shutter button down. Taking a normal breath and holding it while you shoot a photograph can also help. You might also consider using a tripod.
- Vertical vertigo. Most photos are taken with a horizontal frame. It's natural, and done without thinking. But why not shoot a photo vertically every now and then? Next time you get ready to shoot a photo take a few extra seconds and turn your camera sideways. You might get a better shot. Many people or objects look better, like full-body shots or tall buildings, when you take a vertical picture.
- Background matters. Keep your backgrounds free from clutter. A plain background brings focus to the subject you are photographing. When you look through the camera viewfinder, learn to pay attention to the area surrounding your subject. Make sure no trees grow from the head of your grandson and that no wires seem to stretch from Uncle Bill's shoulders.
- Better off-center. It can become a habit to always put your subject in the center of your viewfinder and click, but centering is not always the best placement. Take time to play with shifting your subject to the left or right of center. Keeping the subject a bit off center adds to the variety of line, shape, form, balance, and harmony of your photograph, which in turn will lead to more exciting photos for your scrapbook pages.
- Dramatic black and white. Since black-and-white photos are known to have a longer life than most color photographs and also produce a more dramatic effect, it's a good idea to include them in picturing taking. With standard cameras, this means purchasing black-and-white film. Some digital cameras have a grayscale mode that digitally reproduces the photos as black and white. Photo-editing software also has a grayscale feature that allows you to change a scanned color photo to black and white for printing.
- Take the time to look at the photography of others. Find photos that catch your eye and study the photo to see how you can use the lightening, angle, framing or props. Keep current with your own camera and check out photography websites for updates and new techniques.
