You'll occasionally discover articles, books, conference proceedings and more that Texas A&M Libraries does not own. When you do, take advantage of this great service!!
Class Guide for OCNG 689 -Communicating Ocean Sciences
Conducting a Good Literature Review in Oceanography
Be sure to use variations on your terms to find all that is available.
1) Search for journal and conference papers in article databases:
Search for your topic in Oceanic Abstracts:
Your results will likely include papers and presentations from conferences, so bear in mind that a conference abstract is not the same thing as a journal article abstract. Conference abstracts are published in the conference program and primarily serve to make attendees aware of the topic of a poster or oral presentation at the conference. Although some topics presented in oral form at a conference may appear later in conference proceedings as full articles, often this is not the case. So, the existence of a conference abstract does not necessarily mean that there is an accompanying paper. However, sometimes the author may have chosen to write up the presentation and submit it to a journal, so be sure to search for it, but don't expect the title to be exactly the same as the presentation title. Regardless, for desired items in Meteorological & Geoastrophysical Abstracts, just click on the 'Find Text at TAMU' button to get a copy of the article of the book, journal article, conference proceeding, etc.
Other Library Databases
If your topic crosses into the environmenatal realm, be sure to search the database,
Environmental Sciences + Pollution Management.
And if your topic crosses into the Atmospheric Sciences realm, be sure to search the database,
Meteorological & Geoastrophysical Abstracts.
Again, in using these databases, for desired items, just click on the 'Find Text at TAMU' button to get a copy of the article of the book, journal article, conference proceeding, etc.
2) Search for you topic in Book Sources
Check for books on your topic in LibCat and WorldCat. LibCat indexes the table of contents of books if your topic happens to be covered in a book chapter.
3) Don't Forget to Check Theses and Dissertations
-a sometimes forgotten step in literature reviews
Check ProQuest Dissertations and Theses - Full Text
4) One More Helpful Step!!
As you gather together your collection of articles, books, proceedings, etc., track down the items cited within them to find more important sources. You'll see duplication, but sometimes you'll find new and sometimes very relevant sources that didn't turn up through other means.
Other Key Databases
The one key library database for Atmospheric Science will always be Oceanic Abstracts. The other databases you might occasionally need would be NTIS (CSA) to also catch publications by the U.S. government. For additional sources for research that includes environmental aspects, the database Environmental Sciences + Pollution Management is an excellent resource.
Environmental Sciences + Pollution Management
Abstracts and citations from over 5980 serials including scientific journals, conference proceedings, reports, monographs, books and government publications. Major areas of coverage include: Agricultural biotechnology; Air quality; Aquatic pollution; Bacteriology; Ecology; Energy resources; Environmental biotechnology; Environmental engineering; Environmental impact statements (U.S.); Hazardous waste; Industrial hygiene; Microbiology related to industrial & environmental issues; Pollution: land, air, water, noise, solid waste, radioactive; Risk assessment; Safety science; Toxicology & toxic emissions; Water pollution; Waste management; Water resource issues. Allows simultaneous searching of the following Cambridge Scientific Abstracts databases: Conference Papers Index; Environmental Sciences and Pollution Mgmt; ASFA 3: Aquatic Pollution and Environmental Quality; EIS: Digests of Environmental Impact Statements; Meteorological & Geoastrophysical Abstracts; NTIS; TOXLINE.
Meteorological & Geoastrophysical Abstracts (1974 to present)
Meteorological & Geoastrophysical Abstracts (MGA) contains records drawn from the World's literature on meteorology, climatology, atmospheric chemistry and physics, astrophysics, hydrology, glaciology, physical oceanography and environmental sciences. MGA is produced by the American Meteorological Society and is published by CSA.
The NTIS database indexes US government sponsored research, and worldwide scientific, technical, engineering and business related information. It is the central source for the sale of unclassified and publicly available information from research reports, journal articles, data files, computer programs and audio visual products from Federal sources. Additionally, information is available from international government departments and other international organizations including those from Canada, Japan, the former Soviet Union, Western and Eastern European countries. This database is produced by the National Technical Information Service. Most items are available in the microfiche collection at Evans Library.

Sharon's been giving me a hard time because I didn't particularly care for the movie "Frozen". Apparently, I ain't the ONLY one.
If you have a daughter between the age of 5 and 15, she's probably seen the Disney movie "Frozen" . . . and probably thinks she's the biggest fan in the world. But she isn't. Because THIS woman is.
A guy in Japan claims his 29-year-old wife LEFT HIM last month, because she made him watch "Frozen" . . . and he said it was just "okay".
He says she's been staying with her parents, and she's so angry she won't talk to him. But before she left, she explained that if you don't like "Frozen", then there's something wrong with you as a HUMAN BEING.
Of course, it's possible he's making the whole thing up. But he claims their marriage is basically solid other than the fact that he doesn't like the movie.
The guy says he was a literature major in college, and did a paper on "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen, the story "Frozen" is based on.
So it sounds like maybe he's just being a SNOB about it. And this might also be the first time someone got divorced over the classic "book was better than the movie" argument. (Gawker / Rocket News 24)

Spent spring break at Westgate Branson. To begin with our screen door was rusty and had to be lifted to open. The wallpaper in the kitchen was torn and several burn marks were present on the counters. My childrens bathroom was terribly dirty and we found an old juice box in our sleeper sofa on day 2. By day 3 the hottub water was green and my face started to swell only to test positive for MRSA by day 4. The risk management out of Florida denied all claims and refused to acknowledge the imperfection of the resort. This was definitely the worst spring break ever for my family. Please stay clear of this resort!
I stayed here only for two nights 07-08-10 to July 10, 2010 and must say this was the best Holiday Inn I have ever stayed at by far and I have been a guest of Holiday Inn on every continent. The food was excellent, and the room service was outstanding, The room? CLEAN-CLEAN-CLEAN! The hotel staff was more like family. Not one complaint..... Yes, there is one-I wish every Holiday Inn was as fantastic as this one! GREAT JOB HI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's simply a Great Hotel! Very comfortable, clean and excellent service.
I spent a great weekend at this hotel; the staff made our stay a memorable experience. They have great food, complete services like a Spa and a big swimming pool.
Perfect hotel Everything was amazing
Front desk friendly? Yes, and spoke English/Spanish Room Service Quick? Yes Hotel clean? Yes Location? Next to a mall which was good, but not a scenic area elsewhere. Weight room? Yes, but very small. Pool? Yes, but didn't use. Looked clean. I would stay there again if needed but would rather try a different hotel to get a different experience especially in a better area.
Happy will recomend, clean, good food , good location
Bellhop service. Free ride to anywhere and will pick up too No

Target: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly
Goal: Fire the police officer who shot an unarmed 22-year-old dead at a traffic stop and see that he is prosecuted by the proper authorities
Noel Polanco, a 22-year-old national guardsman, was recently killed during a traffic stop in New York City. It is reported that police officers pulled his vehicle over because they claim Polanco was driving erratically. As the officers approached the vehicle they say Noel reached under his seat, and that's when Detective Hassan Hamby fired one round into Polanco's chest, claiming he thought Polanco was reaching for a firearm. Diane DeFerrari was in the passenger seat when the officer fired and she claims that Polanco had both hands on the steering wheel when he was shot. Officers later searched the vehicle and found no weapons. Reckless officers like this need to be off the streets. Help urge those in power to make an example of officer Hamby, and see that he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
At his funeral, Polanco was posthumously promoted to sergeant, a promotion that his commanding officer said was for outstanding accomplishments and service. His family spoke of his angelic nature at the service, and Rev. Al Sharpton gave the eulogy. It seems hard to fathom that someone of Polanco's character wasn't given the benefit of the doubt by the officers who pulled him over. The shoot first mentality needs to be weeded out of the NYPD and police departments everywhere in America. The cost is simply too high.
Let's urge New York's authorities to ensure this officer does not go unpunished. An example must be made of Detective Hamby to send a message to all other would-be shoot first police officers that reckless actions like this will not be tolerated. Unarmed innocent people should not die because they are suspected of carrying weapons, and people should not fear for their lives when in the presence of police officers. Help us make sure tragedies like this become a thing of the past.
Dear Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Kelly,
We are writing because the news of Noel Polanco's death has both saddened and infuriated us, and we are looking to you to make sure this sort of tragic death at the hands of the New York Police Department does not ever happen again. The young man killed by Detective Hamby was a member of the national guard, not a gang member or drug dealer. He stood for honor, loyalty and commitment to protecting his fellow citizens: the same things police officers are supposed to uphold and represent.
There is no excuse or rationalization to justify an unarmed man being gunned down by police. It is simply unacceptable, and we will not rest until there is justice for this young man, and until there is finally real accountability for police officers who cross the line and commit crimes against the citizens they are supposed to be protecting. Please help make sure this young man's death will be part of the change that prevents further tragedies like this one from every happening again.
[Your Name Here]

Burger King Offers Healthier Fries
It may seem like an oxymoron but fast food giant Burger King is now selling healthier fries.
They are called "Satisfries" and contain fewer calories and less fat than their regular fried tuberous crop. The new crinkle-cut fries come with a new chemical coating that supposedly reduces the amount of oil that the fries absorb.
Health and wellness expert Judy Gaman says despite the advertising, it is still fast food, "If someone has to tell you it's healthy, look out. This is just another marketing ploy, putting the word healthy on something that is fried."
The new fries only have about 40 fewer calories and two fewer grams of fat. Gaman says the coating is suspect in itself, "Anytime we're adding preservatives and coatings you name it, to an already bad thing to eat it just can't be good."
The new Satisfries went on sale earlier this week. Gaman says that almost everything at fast food restaurants are not good for you. Even the fruit options are loaded with chemicals to preserve their color.

Stackable Tea Set Revives Tea Drinking Ritual
A Parsons thesis project provides a minimalist, contemporary update to a product with an ancient legacy.
FIN is a tea cup and saucer set designed by Parsons student Hsin Lin for her thesis project at Parsons The New School For Design. The young designer lamented the loss of ceremony behind the act of tea drinking and aimed to modernize that concept with this sleek stackable set. With contemporary tea sets, the cups and saucers are traditionally stacked separately, eventually eliminating the need for the saucer altogether, but FIN joins the two elements to ensure that consumers make use of both pieces.
The saucer, made of cork, fits perfectly onto the handle of the cup (which arguably resembles a fin, perhaps providing the inspiration for the name), and the sets themselves stack for easy storage as well. As Lin says in her project description:
The unity of the cup and saucer will help our generation appreciate the ceremonial significance behind a simple cup of tea.
The concept brings to mind a similar stackable drinking set recently released for Ballantine's whiskey, which also serves to create a ritual around the act of imbibing.

The St. Louis Cardinals minor league clubs completed their final games against external opponents, their co-habitants of the Jupiter facility, the Florida Marlins. Only intersquad contests remain on Sunday before camp breaks on Monday.

In four at-bats,

There, you can find photos, biographical information, career highlights, links to past feature articles and stats and much more – an exclusive resource not available from other Cardinals-oriented sites!)
Spring won-loss records
With external competition complete, here are the individual team spring records. Intersquad contests are not included.
Quad Cities #1:
Quad Cities #2:
Overall: 40-22-4
Rehabbing Joel Piniero threw 50 pitches, which carried him through 3.2 very nice innings. He didn't allow a run and didn't walk anyone. Pineiro yielded just two hits and fanned four. John Wasdin handled three innings and was charged with one run on five hits. He struck out one. Lefty Ron Flores allowed one harmless hit in 1.1 shutout innings, while fanning two. Chris Perez had what may be a trademark kind of outing as he fanned his first two hitters on six pitches, allowed a hit, then struck out the final batter to end the game.
Brian Barden singled and doubled in four at-bats. He also walked and scored. Joe Mather singled and doubled, scoring twice in five times up.
A well-pitched game meant runs were at a premium. Brandon Dickson went three innings, allowing both runs on six hits and no walks. Three relievers each pitched one scoreless inning. They are Marco Gonzalez (one hit, two Ks), Josh Dew (two hits) and Kenny Maiques (2 Ks).
Tommy Pham had a pair of singles and the sole RBI in four at-bats.
Quad Cities #1 5, Jupiter (High-A) 5 (tie)
Blake King went four innings, allowing two
runs. Three hits and two walks were yielded and King fanned four. Brian Broderick was touched for two
runs in two innings. He allowed three hits and a walk, while fanning two. Adam Reifer got both his outs via
strikeout, but he also gave up a hit and a run.
Justin Roberson was on base all three times up with a single and two hit by pitches. Ouch! Jose Garcia went 2-for-4, while spring hitting machine Matt Arburr singled and had two RBIs. Charlie Pelt homered his only time up.
Quad Cities #2 2,
Nick Additon went three, allowing two earned
runs on three hits and a walk. He blew away five enemy hitters. Brett Zawacki spun three scoreless on
two hits, no walks, fanning four. Justin Fiske had a
Ross Oeder and Ryde Rodriguez each went 2-for-4, with the latter scoring and driving in a run. Carlos Pupo made the report again with an RBI double. Ivan Castro also had a two-bagger.

What's Really Insane
There's a great post up on Pete Earley's blog entitled "What's Really Insane? Our System" that outlines the conundrum of our mental health system from beginning to end. He starts out by discussing the Jared Loughner case and the difference between hospitalization for treatment versus hospitalization for restoration of competence. Among forensic psychiatrists we call this "clinical competence" (reduction of symptoms, restoration of function) versus "legal competence" (the mental capacity to participate in a legal proceeding). While he says these are two separate and distinct issues, in fact there is a correlation between mental capacity and symptomatology. I'm running late this morning and don't have time to post citations, but off the top of my head I remember reading some articles that correlate BPRS (a symptom scale) scores with evaluators' assessments of legal competency. In other words, treating someone's symptoms will improve and restore competency. That alone isn't always enough though, which is why forensic inpatients are also often involved in competency restoration groups to target that specific issue.
Earley does a nice job of outlining the problem of involuntary medication in some criminal defendants; in Maryland it's a particular problem due to a Court of Appeals decision that the person has to be dangerous in the hospital before they can be treated. Thus, someone could end up institutionalized for a very long time awaiting trial.
That's an incomplete summary of a very good post. Surf over to his site and read the full piece.

I've been trying to spot other CCWers ever since I bought my first handgun early this year. And to date, I've not spotted a single one. I've seen a few bulges that were more than likely cell phones in a belt holster.
And I saw one person OC'ing that turned out to be a LEO in plain clothes at the Home Depot (the next thing I saw was the badge next to the gun.)
So do you often see other folks with a CCW out and about in the normal places (not at the range and gun shops, for instance.)

Deep Thoughts: So How About A Foster Pet?
The great majority of pet owners have the ability to provide a temporary, loving home to an animal in need. A bathroom … a yard … a crate in the garage if need be (with lots of walks, of course). Anything to keep one more adoptable animal off the streets and out of the animal shelter.
Because once an animal hits the shelter the battle is almost over. Her chances for finding a home diminish dramatically now that she's been institutionalized. Regardless of its quality, the shelter is where animals — as well cared for as they may be — lose the potential for a one-on-one relationship with a powerful advocate: YOU.
Sure, no-kill shelters will handle most animals, but do you live in a community that supports a no-kill shelter? Because that is in part how no-kill communities work their magic: They recruit as many people like you as they can to take on the tough task of fostering needy pets. From pure breed rescues to crazy cat ladies to one-at-a-time fosterers like me … it takes a village to make a no-kill work.
For me, fostering is an obvious win-win. For the lucky pets the benefits are obvious. They're trained and well-socialized while waiting for their forever homes instead of living in a loud, stressful environment that little resembles the environment they'll soon be expected to thrive in.
To be sure, fostering makes for more successful match-making between adopter and adoptee. Which means adopting owners are more satisfied and more likely to adopt again. Hence, the community is not only relieved of one less pet, it's built a solid relationship with an adopter. Which means fewer homeless pets should future adoptions ensue and/or when enlightened adopters tell their friends, neighbors, and co-workers of their experience.
But wait — there's the other winner to consider: the foster "parent" (that's me/you). Though it's true that I cry every time I find my foster pets a home (and almost every time I see them again), it's also true that there's nothing more satisfying than knowing your intervention helped bring two needy parties together forever.
So how about it … can you take one on?

Frogs O' War Friday Mailbag: Beakless Sean Connery Edition
Your questions: answered. It's been a while since we've done one of these, but now that the mailbag is back, let's jump in. Have you seen what a chicken looks like without a beak? Not a chicken, exactly, but I have seen a beakless bird before. Here's a cool thing, though: 3D printers are giving beakless birds a second lease on life. Like this penguin. Or this eagle. ...

2000 Toyota RAV4 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2000 Toyota RAV4 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The Evaporative system may have problems with the vapor canister releasing charcoal pellets that plug the vent valve. Typically a Code P0441, P0442 and P0446 will be set. The key code is the P0446 which is a vent valve electrical failure. The proper repair is to replace the entire canister with all the valves as a unit. This is located on top of the fuel tank and is expensive. Our Technicians tell us that for awhile Toyota was covering these problems, but this may have changed. It would not hurt to call the dealer if this problem occurs to see if Toyota is still helping with these repairs.
At higher mileages, (125,000-150,000) the automatic transmission may not shift correctly. This can be caused by the throttle position sensor being out of adjustment or a shift solenoid needing to be replaced. Typically the transmission does not need to be completely overhauled.

Past Audience Feedback
"Good speakers usually have a deep subject knowledge to which they speak or a stage presence that entertains the audience. Rarely do they possess both the ability to educate and entertain. Justin does both. He also adds a crucial ingredient that too many speakers opt out of, preparation. Justin has spoken at several Social Fresh conferences over the years and is always ranked highly by our audience of very knowledgeable attendees."
-Jason Keath, CEO, Social Fresh
"We invited Justin to speak at Social Media Breakfast Tech Valley and our group really enjoyed hearing about his deep and diverse experience with social media marketing. He was able to weave personal anecdotes from his role as a restaurant manager and marketer with project insights from working on major national clients with New Marketing Labs. Justin had a calm, confident demeanor that put everyone at ease and made them feel as though they were part of a social media master class. Here's what some of our attendees said in our post-event survey:
- 'Justin was really down to earth and sincere. He told us about his experiences, not what we have to do. He was also really interesting.'
- 'Justin was a confident, well-prepared speaker. I learned about several new online apps. You can tell he's had plenty of speaking practice.'
- 'Justin was very comfortable, confident, willing to take questions during and afterward. He was enthusiastic about Social Media and that was infectious, making me consider what I could do with my own blog.'
- 'Justin was filled with a real natural sense of wrapping his mind around a problem and moving ahead thoughtfully.'"
–Amy Mengel, Organizer – Social Media Breakfast Tech Valley
"Justin clearly knows his way around a myriad of social media issue. His presentation to foodservice distributor and manufacturer executives ignited the room and got them talking about they can apply social media to their respective businesses. He provided many clear examples about how social media has helped increase sales in many industries and spoke to his audience in such a way that was casual, but dynamic and knowledgeable. If you want someone who is comfortable presenting to all four generations in the workplace—and one who meets the challenge head on of talking about social media to all four generations–I highly recommend that you consider Justin. Also, become his social media 'friend!'"

Author: Flavio Guzman, MD
The video below is a brief (length 2:30) overview on the adverse effects of SSRIs.
- General concepts
- Gastrointestinal side effects
- CNS adverse effects:
- Basal ganglia
- Mental effects
- Sexual dysfunction
Hello, this is Dr. Flavio Guzman, I´m the editor of Psychopharmacology Institute.
In this short video I'm going to review adverse effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
I´ll start reviewing some facts about SSRI therapy.
The first one is that patients tolerate the SSRIs better than tricyclic antidepressants.
Most side effects are acute. They tend to diminish over days and weeks.
And these side effects include nausea, diarrhea, cramping, heartburn, and other symptoms of GI distress.
We're going to classify side effects according to the system they affect:
First we are going to review gastrointestinal side effects. Then central nervous system side effects and finally sexual dysfunction induced by SSRIs.
Nausea and vomiting are caused by stimulation of serotonin 3 receptors located at the hypothalamus and the brainstem.
Effects on the GI tract are mediated stimulation of serotonin 3 and 4 receptors. This stimulation can lead to increased GI motility, GI cramps. If the increase in GI motility is severe enough this can lead to diarrhea.
CNS side effects at the basal ganglia are mediated by 5HT2A receptor stimulation. Stimulation at the basal ganglia of these receptors can cause:
– Akathisia,
– Psychomotor retardation
– Parkinsonism
– Distonic movements.
Mental side effects is the second group of CNS side effects. Stimulation of 5HT2A and 5HTC receptors can lead to mental agitation, anxiety and panic attacks.
And finally, regarding sexual dysfunction patients may complain about: diminished libido, anorgasmia, impotence and delayed ejaculation

A Second Chance for Nary Manivong
Posted Tuesday January 8, 2013 6:00 PM GMT
If you haven't heard of Nary Manivong's NAHM label, a collaboration with Alexandria Hilfiger, brace yourself: The ambitious fashion designer announced he'll be back for Fall with a new collection that carries his own name.
Little else is known about Nary's creations, however, that's likely to change in February when he unveils the goods for industry insiders.
Pricing for Manivong's range will fall between the contemporary and designer tiers, so it will be interesting to see what Nary has up his sleeve.

i own sonar x1 and im very happy with that program, the pro channel is the BEST feature in any program yet. i was on a trip with my laptop and decided to download mixcraft 6 to test it out. WOW. i only had my travel usb mic with no interface or no midi controller, and most important to me....no PREAMP....after recording my vocals i was able to chain FX together. i added a classic warm 12ax7 tube, classisc warm vocal eq, and classic warm vocal compression. the result i got from doing this was nearly the same as the result i got with over 3000.00 dollars in studio equipment. with this program, and the $ dollar mxl usb mic kit from bhphoto im able to do things i would never imagine. now a serouis artist can acheive a PRO sound for under 300.00 dollars and a laptop...acoustica really has came to play ball with this....the beat making, vocal effects, and mastering ability is equal to my full array of studio gear...download the demo, its a two week trial of the FULL VERSION, cheak it out for yourself....its awesome man

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has moved 23 missionaries within Ukraine amid violence, chaos and the threat of war.
To keep them safe, the church moved missionaries in the Ukraine Dnepropetrovsk Mission from the Crimean peninsula — the main pro-Russian flashpoint in Ukraine's brewing civil crisis — to other unspecified areas within the mission "as a precautionary measure," according to a statement released Saturday by the LDS Church.
Ukraine, which shares its eastern border with Russia, has seen growing and violent civil unrest for weeks.
Tensions in the country escalated further Saturday when Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared to have authorized a military takeover of the Crimea region in East Ukraine, after receiving the go-ahead from Russia's parliament.

Faith in Action
The Foundation's program, Faith in Action®, was designed to expand the continued replication of the Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers Model, providing volunteer caregiving to people of all ages with chronic health conditions.This grant supports A New Thing Ministry in its mission to provide emotional, social and home maintenance support to low-income, homebound persons who are elderly, frail and/or physically challenged. LoveNcare is an outreach program that will provide friendly visits with food boxes delivered by volunteers, exit ramp construction for physically challenged individuals, and heavy-duty house cleaning for the frail elderly in DeKalb and Henry counties. There are pockets of poverty and lack of support in these suburban locations that appear to be quasi-rural areas. It is their vision to fill the gaps in services where many homebound persons are overlooked and may not have the advocates to ensure that they receive the support they need. A New Thing Ministry has organized a coalition of interfaith congregations, organizations, businesses, agencies, universities and service providers to respond to the needs of the persons overlooked and left out.

About this itemMakes any existing kitchen and bathroom faucet fully automated.
The world's only patented "faucet-mount" automatic faucet system that requires no plumbing modification. It fits most standard sink faucets and after mounting to an existing faucet, you can simply run your hands (or whatever you are washing, filling or getting wet) under the faucet and the water comes on automatically. It will then stay on until you move from under the sensor. If you wish, you can override the automatic feature by pressing the "manual override" button. This allows the water to run for three minutes until you press the manual override button again, sending it back to the automatic feature. This automatic faucet can save up to 70% water per hand wash and eliminate contamination through germs. Use existing faucet knobs and handles to control the water temperature and flow any time.

With the 1950s came the advent of television sets in every home, cinemascope and VistaVision as a desperate attempt by studios to lure viewers back to theaters, drive-in movies, science-fiction films that featured aliens who were substitutes for the Communist menace to the East, and the gradual dissolution of the famed Studio System that had fueled the economy of Hollywood for the past thirty years. Several directors who made their reputations during the Studio Era in the 1940s (Billy Wilder, John Huston, Elia Kazan, Alfred Hitchcock, and John Ford) continued to make good films (as well as mediocre ones). But you won't see their names on the next page (The 1960s, Rise of the Director as Auteur). The last vestiges of the Studio System dissolved in the face of new directors, new approaches to acting, and new ideas about the depiction of the real world in films.

In the 1950s some of America's greatest actors played characters who were past their prime, emotionally vulnerable, with fragile egos. Bette Davis stars as an aging actress manipulated by an aggressive younger actress in All About Eve (1950); Humphrey Bogart plays a broken-down alcoholic in The African Queen (1954) and a psychotic naval captain in The Caine Mutiny (1954); Gary Cooper is an aging sheriff who stands down the bad guys one last time (with the help of Grace Kelly) in High Noon (1952); Jimmy Stewart returns to the screen after an interlude as a Western star to appear in two Hitchcock films, Rear Window (1954) and Vertigo (1958). In both films he plays middle-aged men who have suffered debilitating injuries psychological and physical). No tough Western hero in these films!
Even the four Westerns in this listing resonate to the theme of an ending of an era as well as a critique of an era. John Wayne, a stalwart of the American Western, appears as a vulnerable and psychologically unstable character in two John Ford Westerns, The Searchers (1956) and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962). In the former film Wayne loses all but one member of his family to an attack by Native Americans. He becomes obsessed with finding his niece, who has been carried away by the Indians, and is forced to confront deep-seated feelings of racism and miscegenation in his search.
In the latter film Wayne plays a rough and capable Westerner who fast is becoming an anachronism in the changing landscape of the American West. The territory is moving toward statehood, and a new breed of man is required to take charge of it. That man is represented by the ineffectual Jimmy Stewart, who refuses to wear a gun, and who is committed to the ideals of political justice and compromise. John Wayne plays the man who shot Liberty Valance, an evil gunman from the "old school" (compare Jack Palance's portrayal of the gunman in Shane, 1953). But the credit for killing Valance goes to Jimmy Stewart, who had reluctantly picked up a gun and tried to use it against the hardened killer. Of course, John Wayne saves Stewart's life, but loses the woman he loves to Stewart. The latter goes on to be the first governor of the new state. He is remembered as "the man who shot Liberty Valance."
The ending of the film is bittersweet. Who are the heroes? Where is the justice in such experiences? The ambivalence that is at the heart of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is reminiscent of the mixed feelings one has to the town defended by Gary Cooper in High Noon (1952). No one steps forward to help Cooper stand up against the villains, who are set to appear at 12:00 on the main street of town. He faces them alone (but is saved when his Quaker sweetheart shoots one of the bad guys). The two ride off into the sunset after they have thumbed their noses at the town. What kind of Westerns are these? They sound like critiques of the American way of life--not a thing to be taken lightly in the 1950s. Conformity! Support your government! Fight the Communist peril! Defend the American Family! Respect authority! March in step! One, two! One, two!
A fourth Western, Shane (1953), also tells the story of a former gunman who has forsaken that weapon and tried to live a peaceful life. Shane is a former gunslinger who tries to settle down. But conflicts in the outside world find their way to his doorstep, and he is compelled to strap on his guns one more time and dispatch the evil Jack Palance gunslinger (who wears black!). What does Shane do at the end of the film? He rides away from the secure world he had tried to become a part of. "Shane! Come back!" little Brandon de Wilde cries to no avail. Where has Shane gone? To join John Wayne at the end of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, or to join Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly after they leave town. If the 1950s were renowned as an era of conformity and stability, then why does the Western genre seem to self-destruct during this era?
What begins to happen during the 1950s is a movement away from the big Studio Film to the little film about believable characters whose conflicts are more inward than outward. In some respects the best films of the 1950s are the ones that forecast the great films on the 1960s. Examples include On the Waterfront (1954), Rebel Without a Cause (1954), Marty (1955), Paths of Glory (1957), 12 Angry Men (1957), Separate Tables (1958), and Wild River (1960). These films have in common two important qualities--directors interested in telling small but important stories and fresh actors who bring new dimensions to characterization and emotional intensity.
Elia Kazan, who cofounded the Actor's Studio in 1947, where the "method acting" approach was refined. Kazan brought Marlon Brando, a proponent of method acting, to the attention of the cinema world in the 1951 film, A Streetcar Named Desire based upon the Tennessee Williams play). Brando had performed the role on Broadway. But when audiences saw Brando in On the Waterfront (1954), interacting with the fine actors Karl Malden and Lee J. Cobb, the world took notice. Acting in film would never be the same. Brando became his characters. He brooded, he grimaced, he groaned, he mumbled, he sighed--he was the character.
Two other actors who followed in Brando's footsteps were James Dean and Montgomery Clift. Both brought a quality of brooding intensity to their roles. Seeing James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause is a rewarding experience because he represents all the alienated teenagers who were sickened by the deadening hypocrisy and shallowness of 1950s values. His untimely death in 1955 cut short what would have been a promising film career.
Alfred Hitchcock's star continued to rise in the 1950s with three significant films. In Rear Window (1954) Hitchcock recreated a voyeuristic world through the eyes of his Jimmy Stewart character. The character's "rear window" looks out upon the windows of other apartment dwellers, and soon his curiosity with the lives they lead almost destroys him. In Vertigo (1957) Hitchcock again explores some of the dark regions of the human heart--obsessive and self-destructive behaviors, the dangerous power of a man to "remake" a woman in the likeness of his ideal woman, and the complicated deceits that people play out against each other. Vertigo is an unrelenting story that provides little emotional relief before its fateful close.
The 1950s ended with an ominous note with regard to my film-viewing experience. I was thirteen years old when I saw Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) with my parents, my cousins, and my siblings. I remember that my sister and my cousins Judy and Nona held their hands over their faces during the gruesome shower scene. I watched it with my eyes wide open. I didn't understand much of the symbolism of what I was watching. But I did appreciate the art of it; in fact, I was in awe of what Hitchcock was doing with film technique. Why that shot? Why that angle? Why that order of shots? I didn't know it then, but I was hooked on film.
A last note about a special film during this decade. In 1955 Ernest Borgnine, known for his prior work as a "heavy" (bad guy) in films, played a meek and mild butcher from Brooklyn in Delbert Mann's Marty. The film had appeared on television first (starring Rod Steiger--in his typically understated style of acting). Borgnine brought out the sympathy and the humanity of an overweight, homely man, apparently destined for bachelorhood, who spends all of his free time hanging out with the other guys in the neighborhood bar. I will never forget the litany of, "What do you want to do tonight?" "I don't know. What do you want to do tonight?" Men heading toward middle age with little prospects for emotional commitments to long-term relationships. Dead-ends, lonely lives, wasted lives. Oh, the joy of watching Marty dance with the homely woman and tell her deadpanned, "Hey, you're not such a dog after all."

LONDON – The late BBC TV presenter Jimmy Savile was a sexual predator who abused children as young as 8 for more than 50 years, using his fame and eccentricity to hide "in plain sight," British police said Friday.
A three-month investigation with the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) charity found that Savile, one of the biggest TV stars in Britain in the 1970s and '80s, took every opportunity to abuse young girls, boys and adult women across the country.
Capitalizing on his fame as presenter of BBC TV's "Top of the Pops" music show and children's program "Jim'll Fix It," he raped and assaulted victims on the broadcaster's premises, as well as in schools and 13 hospitals where he was welcomed by unwitting fans. One attack took place in a hospice, where Savile sexually assaulted a teen visitor.
The scandal has thrown the BBC into crisis, although police said the public broadcaster should not shoulder the blame for his criminal acts. Peter Watt of the NSPCC said, "It is clear that Savile cunningly built his entire life's work around gaining access to vulnerable children in order to carry out his abuse."
He described Savile as "one of the most prolific sex offenders" the NSPCC had ever dealt with, adding, "He hid in plain sight behind a veil of eccentricity, double-bluffing those who challenged him."
David Gray, head of Scotland Yard's pedophile unit, said Savile "spent every moment of every waking day thinking about it, and whenever an opportunity came along, he took it."
The police report was published as Britain's top prosecutor, Keir Starmer, admitted that action could have been taken against Savile in 2009 if police had taken the victims more seriously. Starmer apologized and said he hoped the Savile case would be seen as a "watershed moment" that changed the authorities' approach to sexual abuse.
Savile, who died in October 2011 at the age of 84, was a hugely popular but eccentric figure, famed for his shock of white hair, tracksuits and chunky gold jewelry. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990.
There were rumors about his private life but he batted them away with jokes. A year after his death, however, five women went on television to reveal that Savile had abused them when they were girls, opening the floodgates for hundreds of similar allegations.
About 450 people have now come forward with information on Savile, with 214 criminal offenses, including 34 rapes — of which 28 involved children — recorded so far. Three-quarters of the victims were children, mostly girls between ages 13 and 16, but the youngest was an 8-year-old boy. The report said the attacks, which stretched from 1955 to 2009, were "mainly opportunistic sexual assaults."
In 1960, a 10-year-old boy saw Savile outside a hotel and asked for his autograph. The presenter took the child inside to reception, where he subjected him to a serious penetrative sexual assault. Police said Savile was able to get away with it because of his fame, as well as the shame felt by his victims and their fears they would not be believed.
Cmdr. Peter Spindler, who led Scotland Yard's investigation into Savile, cautioned against blaming any single institution for the abuse, given the wide variety of locations at which it occurred and Savile's star power.


text: bretheren. For trade is my 12" ibook/60GB/768 RAM/AE/Combo. It was purchased June 2004, so the 1 year apple warranty is over. The reason to trade is because I find the resolution too limiting. I would like more resolution, don't move my ibook that much, but would like limited mobility. some things to consider: -512 MB samsung RAM added (works well) -60 GB drive was build to order (hard to find older ibooks with this size of a drive) -lvl 2 cache is 512 kb, as opposed to 1st gen. ibook which was 256 kb -Airport Extreme added by me. -AE reception is comparatively better on the ibook than on the powerbook line. I would like to trade for a 1st gen. 15" aluminum powerbook or a good condition 15" titanium powerbook 867/1ghz, with or without cash depending on the specs. I'm 'open' to other offers, especially ones with 20" widescreen LCDs (dell, apple, etc.) I'm in Montreal, Canada and would prefer a local trade.

...Some apparent really good deals on Amazon.com, but they won't ship to Canada (for warranty reasons, I think), and Amazon.ca does not list the watches. These watches have decent reviews, high value and in Canada, an unique factor.
Does anyone from Canada have any experience ordering from reputable and reliable outfits? Is anyone willing to recommend such an outfit?

Which Test is Used to Verify Assumptions in TTest
Hello everyone,
I've run some simple t-tests of means using TTest and was pleased to see that Mathematica pretests for the validity of underlying assumptions. In a very skewed sample, I received a warning that the normality assumption had likely been violated. The warning looked like this:
TTest::nortst: "At least one of the p-values in 0., resulting from a test for normality, is below 0.05. The tests in T require that the data is normally distributed.
Is it possible to find out precisely which pretest Mathematica performed in order to generate that message?

/// Facebook Home: the start of the mobile social network takeover?
Earlier this year, just 18 months after its launch, Google Plus knocked Twitter off its perch to become the second most popular social network on Android, only lagging behind Facebook. Its rapid growth was, in part, fuelled by its close integration with Android.
And now Facebook has followed Google's lead on integration – launching Facebook Home, which allows users to replace their default Android launcher with its own in a bid to make Facebook their first choice social network.
This is rich territory for mobile industry commentators, but what I think will be particularly interesting to keep an eye on is Google's reaction to the growth of Facebook Home. Will we see an objection or alternative solution from Google in response to the huge number of Facebook users who can use the Facebook launcher on Google's open source OS? If so, what can they do?
Google's answer is simple – better integration between Google+ and Android. However, it is likely that the answer will only become reality once Facebook is proven to be a success.
For now, it's worth noting that advanced Android users feel Facebook Home is an early stage launcher with too many constraints compared to many existing Android launchers. This is reflected in some Google reviews, with Facebook Home racking up an average score of 2.2 out of 5. For many mainstream users, on the other hand, Facebook Home will be their first introduction to the concept of Android launchers. It will be interesting to see how they find the customised experience.
And where does the lifestyle super-brand Apple sit in the equation? Is there an argument that this development could lead it to fueling the lack of social networking expertise in its portfolio? I don't think so – Apple doesn't need its own social network, since both Facebook and Twitter are already deeply integrated with iOS. It is also an area where Apple has not yet been successful, as proven by Ping's shutdown.
Of course, if Apple was to launch its own social network, it would likely use its substantial clout to push it to users and aim to overtake both Facebook and Twitter. But this is still highly unlikely considering the immense Twitter and Facebook user bases. It is actually better for Apple to rely on third parties for its social network offering, as it is a much more flexible approach. Google, on the other hand, has to play both fronts, by allowing Facebook on its platform whilst obviously pushing Google+.
In the age of the social network, where there are over 500 active social media sites, there aren't many that can justify such an integrated experience. If I had to pick just one with long-term potential to succeed, it's definitely Facebook. That said, I wouldn't go so far as to say Facebook's move marks the start of social networks' mobile take over; others like HTC or even Windows Phone already have deeply integrated social networks in their OS and have done for quite some time.
Facebook Home is, in essence, a more integrated way of interacting with Facebook friends. More than anything, with Facebook Home, Facebook is raising its mobile game by sitting on top of Android rather than just being an app.

Chicago Area Baby Dies After Father Tries To Muffle Crying
Story Update: On April 16 the baby was declared dead.
A five-month-old girl from the Rogers Park area is on life support after her father, 29-year oldRodrigo Rodriguez, repeatedly covered her mouth as an attempt to stop her crying.
Rodriguez and the baby's mother Angela Petrov, 21, were reportedly drinking Hennessey in the room where their daughter was asleep in her playpen when the child began to cry.
Doctors also found older skull fractures while examining the baby. A judge has charged both Rodriguez and Petrov with aggravated battery of a child and ordered they be held on a $5 million bail during their separate hearings.

Admiral Neighborhood Children's Parade July 4
Kids, parents, fire engines, and more will fill the street for the annual Admiral Neighborhood Parade on the 4th. Everyone gathers near the intersection of 44th Ave. s.w. and Sunset Ave. s.w. before the 10:00 am starting time to track the parade route over to the Hamilton Viewpoint for a post parade celebration.
Parade starts at 44th Avenue SW and Sunset Avenue SW; moves south on Sunset to SW Atlantic Street; then east on Atlantic to Palm Avenue SW; north on Palm into Hamilton View Point Park. No closures associated with parade, but expect congestion as there will be rolling slowdowns as the parade moves along. Seattle Police will escort.
This will mark the 17th year of the event.
Here's a link to a video from the 2010 event to give you a flavor of it.
The parade means a rerouted #55 metro bus but it's all worth it.
