Scruffy idealist Ned (Paul Rudd) wreaks havoc on the lives of his mother (Shirley Knight) and three sisters, Miranda (Elizabeth Banks), Natalie (Zooey Deschanel), and Liz (Emily Mortimer), while overstaying his welcome in each of their homes and voicing his opinions when they aren't wanted. Organic farmer Ned always looks for the best in everyone, but his unfailing honesty continually lands him in hot water. Arrested for selling drugs to a uniformed police officer, Ned gets the boot from his girlfriend, and mourns losing custody of his beloved dog, Willie Nelson. Fortunately for Ned, his sisters are able to recognize his inherent goodness and give him a place to stay as he struggles to get back on his feet. Meanwhile, Ned's unusual habit of telling the truth often comes at the cost of his siblings' sanity, and before long they're regretting their decision to help him out. But just when it starts to look as if Ned might be the dimmest bulb in the box, a sudden epiphany prompts his entire family to consider the prospect that the world would be a much better place if everyone were as honest as their freewheeling brother. Steve Coogan and Hugh Dancy co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) never met an oil field he couldn't suck dry. So when Tex discovers a bountiful reservoir right underneath Muppet Theater, he begins drawing up plans to claim the land and start drilling.

With Kermit by their side, Walter, Gary, and Mary hatch a plan to put on a big telethon that will help them raise the ten million dollars needed to keep Muppet Theater standing.

Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan team up for the Warner Bros. police buddy movie Cop Out in this Kevin Smith-directed production. From a script by Robb and Mark Cullen, the story centers around police detectives Jimmy (Willis), a no-B.S. divorced dad, and Paul (Morgan), a crazy-talking loose cannon. Despite nine years as partners, the two lawmen can still sometimes seem like polar opposites -- especially when Paul's unpredictable antics get them suspended without pay. Already strapped for cash and trying to pay for his daughter's wedding, Jimmy decides to sell a rare baseball card that's worth tens of thousands. Unfortunately, when the collector's shop is robbed and the card vanishes with the crook, Paul and Jimmy end up going rogue, tracking down the card and the drug ring behind its theft, all on their own time, and without any backup -- except for each other. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

Director David Fincher (Fight Club, Seven) teams with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing) to explore the meaning of success in the early 21st century from the perspectives of the technological innovators who revolutionized the way we all communicate. The year was 2003. As prohibitively expensive technology became affordable to the masses and the Internet made it easy to stay in touch with people who were halfway across the world, Harvard undergrad and computer programming wizard Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) launched a website with the potential to alter the very fabric of our society. At the time, Zuckerberg was just six years away from making his first million. But his hearty payday would come at a high price, because despite all of Zuckerberg's wealth and success, his personal life began to suffer as he became mired in legal disputes, and discovered that many of the 500 million people he had friended during his rise to the top were eager to see him fall. Chief among that growing list of detractors was Zuckerberg's former college friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), whose generous financial contributions to Facebook served as the seed that helped the company to sprout. And some might argue that Zuckerberg's bold venture wouldn't have evolved into the cultural juggernaut that it ultimately became had Napster founder Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) not spread the word about Facebook to the venture capitalists from Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer and Josh Pence) engage Zuckerberg in a fierce courtroom battle for ownership of Facebook that left many suspecting the young entrepreneur might have let his greed eclipse his better judgment. The Social Network was based on the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Engaged to the woman of his dreams yet uncomfortable with the prospect of not having a best man for his upcoming wedding, a successful real estate agent with no male friends schedules a series of "man dates" in hopes of finding a suitable candidate for the big day. Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd) is just like most other guys, only when it comes to making friends he's always been a bit withdrawn. After proposing to his girlfriend, Zooey (Rashida Jones), however, Peter quickly realizes that he doesn't even have any friends close enough to qualify for the role of best man. And what better method to find the perfect best man than to spend some time getting to know the most qualified candidate for the position? While most of Peter's "man dates" are incredibly awkward from the very beginning, the desperate bridegroom is surprised to hit it off with Sydney Fife (Jason Segel) on their very first meeting. Sydney is charming, personable, and opinionated, and before long he and Peter have become inseparable. But this isn't exactly what Zooey had in mind, because the closer that Peter grows to his new "bro," the further he drifts from the woman who will soon be his wife. Now, with the wedding closing in and the drama heating up, Peter begins to ponder a means of staying good friends with Sydney while still remaining true to the woman he loves. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Unhitched [TV Series]
Originally titled The Rules for Starting Over, this Fox sitcom starred Craig Bierko) as 35-year-old financier Jack "Gator" Gately. Having gotten married right out of college, Gator was now divorced, and as such obliged to re-enter the "dating scene" that he'd barely been a part of in his bachelor days. Joining Gator in his pursuit of female companionship were his nerdy surgeon pal Freddy Sahgal (Shaun Majumber), likewise recently divorced, and funloving brewery owner Tommy (Johnny Sneed), who'd been married several times previously but had not given up his lifelong quest for the perfect mate. Also a member of this merry band of "unhitched" thirtysomethings was quick-witted Kate (Rashina Jones), recently dumped by her beau after a seven-year relationship. The humor arose from the fact that the protagonists were certainly not naïve in matters of everyday life, but were utterly clueless in the realm of romantic relationships; and oh, yes, there was an abundance of gross-out humor and sex jokes, hardly suprising inasmuch as the series was executive-produced by the inimitable Farrelly Brothers). Created by Mike Bernier and Chris Pappas), Unhitched debuted March 2, 2008. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Much of the group responsible for MTV's The State -- including director/actor David Wain and performers Ken Marino, Kerri Kenney-Silver, and Joe Lo Truglio -- reunite for this outrageous, irreverent, and raunchy sketch comedy, which skewers the Ten Commandments. In the framing sequences, comedian Paul Rudd (who collaborated with much of the cast on Wet Hot American Summer and The Baxter) stands on a black stage with giant Biblical tablets projected behind him and promises to deliver ten mini-stories, each loosely based on one of the commandments, from "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me" through "Thou Shalt Not Covet." For all of the storyteller's efforts, however, he is constantly, comically distracted by interferences, particularly those emanating from intrusions by his multiple girlfriends. The stories are nonetheless told one by one in short-film form, beginning with a sketch in which Stephen (Adam Brody) goes skydiving with his intended, Kelly (Winona Ryder), but forgets to wear his parachute and gets stuck in the mud, waist-deep, which draws gawkers, media, and in time, worshipers. Several of the subsequent stories consist of raunchy, jet-black riffs on sexual perversion, including one about a virginal librarian (Gretchen Mol) entangled in a sultry and messy affair with a Mexican, and another memorable bit about a nutty surgeon who plays a prank by burying a pair of scissors in a patient's stomach and is then sent to prison -- where he experiences brutal sexual abuse at the hands of other men. As an added bonus, the picture packs in a fully animated sequence, narrated by several crack-smokers, entitled "The Lying Rhino." ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Season 4 of the acclaimed mockumentary opens with the discovery that Ryan Howard (B.J. Novak) has ascended the corporate ladder from fresh-faced intern to stylishly bearded corporate chieftain. The young gun promptly exercises his authority by charging Dunder Mifflin into the digital age, an affront to technologically dull Scranton branch boss Michael Scott (Steve Carell). Here are the romantic "fax" of life at the office: Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) and Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) are hot, Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) and Angela Martin (Angela Kinsey) are not, and Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) and Angela are giving it a shot. A giddy Jam (Jim/Pam) proudly bring their hushed and long-delayed romance to public light, even spending an unsettling night at the Schrute family farm. Dwight confesses to killing Angela's treasured cat Sprinkles, prompting Angela to terminate their romance, which leaves tight Dwight heartbroken and miserable. Angela, in turn, falls into the arms of newest staffer Andy, but only reluctantly. As for Michael, he huffs and puffs through a 5K fun run; hopes to attend a Web-site launch party in the Big Apple; faces a ballooning personal debt; goes on a wilderness survival retreat; butts heads with desk jockey Stanley Hudson (Leslie David Baker); and travels a bumpy-road romance with high-maintenance ex-bigwig Jan Levinson (Melora Hardin), who's mired in a messy wrongful-termination lawsuit with corporate. All this doesn't stop Michael from obsessing over a model in an office-supply catalog or clubbing for "hot hotties" with Ryan in New York. As the year winds down, slumping human-resources drone Toby Flenderson (Paul Lieberstein) decides to quit his post and move to Costa Rica. This development prompts the arrival of a new HR worker named Holly (Amy Ryan), whose sunny presence clearly begins to brighten Michael's downcast world. ~ Dean Maurer, Rovi

Directed by Nick Hurran, Little Black Book follows Stacy (Brittany Murphy), an associate producer of a popular daytime talk show starring Kippie Kann (Kathy Bates), as she tries to figure out the root of her boyfriend's (Ron Livingston) commitment-phobic nature. Rather than continue to fruitlessly question Derek (Livingston) regarding his slew of failed relationships, Stacy sneaks into his Palm Pilot and begins interviewing his ex-girlfriends under the pretense of gathering information for a future show. Though she justifies the deception with her need to find out whether or not Derek can be trusted for a long-term relationship, complications arise when Stacy becomes good friends with one of Derek's former flames. Holly Hunter makes an appearance as Stacy's boss (the show's senior associate producer), while Josie Maran, Julianne Nicholson, Rashida Jones, Sharon Lawrence, and Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale are featured in supporting roles. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Boston Public [TV Series]
Produced by the prolific David E. Kelly, the Fox network comedy-drama series Boston Public is as quirky, volatile and overpopulated with colorful and eccentric characters as any other Kelly effort. Set within the walls of Boston Public High School, the series is told from the viewpoint of the dedicated but harried principal Steven Harper (Chi McBride). The challenges facing Harper include aging teacher Harvey Lipshultz (Fyvush Finkel), whose often nonsensical rambling indicates that senility is quickly settling in; ongoing clashes between faculty and the students' parents, who are convinced that not enough/too much is being done for/to their youngsters; various student cliques, ranging from a girls' group that rates the potential sexual prowess of the teachers to a bunch of bullying punks; and such one-day-at-a-time crises as the teacher who decides to counter potential student violence by bringing a gun to class and firing it over his charges' heads. In addition to McBride and Finkel, the huge ensemble cast includes Loretta Devine as Marla Hendricks, Jessalyn Gilsig as Lauren Davis, Anthony Heald as Scott Guber, Rashida Jones as Louisa, Nicky Katt as Harry Senate, Sharon Leal as Marilyn, Thomas McCarthy as Kevin Riley, Joey Slotnick as Milton Buttle, and Sarah Thompson as Dana Poole.

This three-part drama, produced for HBO, examines the changing tides of the lives of lesbians in America, both politically and personally, as we eavesdrop on three stories taking place in the same house over a span of five decades. In 1961, the house is home to Edith (Vanessa Redgrave) and Abby (Marian Seldes), an elderly lesbian couple whose lifestyle is not accepted or acknowledged by their families. When Abby suffers a serious stroke and is on the verge of death, her family rallies to her side, but not understanding the nature of her relationship with Edith, she is not included as her loved ones say their final good-byes. After Abby's death, her nephew (Paul Giamatti) and his wife (Elizabeth Perkins) arrive from out of state with plans to sell the house, without consulting Edith. In 1972, the house is now home to four college students, Michelle (Amy Carlson), Linda (Michelle Williams), Karen (Nia Long), and Jeanne (Natasha Lyonne), all of whom are actively involved in the women's movement and also happen to be lesbians. The four find themselves at odds with the campus women's group when they try to promote an all-women's dance, while the other members of the group feel that feminism, not lesbianism, should be the focus of the group. Similarly, Linda faces hostility from her friends when she becomes involved with Amy (Chloe Sevigny), a very butch townie; Linda's friends see Amy's masculine attire and attitude as a form of self-loathing against being a woman, and while Linda cares deeply for Amy, she's not always comfortable with her and isn't sure that she wants to be public with their relationship. In 2000, Fran (Sharon Stone) and Kal (Ellen DeGeneres), a happy and firmly committed couple, are sharing the house, and after much discussion, they decide that they want to take their relationship to the next level and have a baby. However, deciding that they want a child and dealing with the practicalities of getting pregnant are two different things; Fran and Kal first debate about going to a sperm bank as opposed to asking one of their male friends to help out, and later, either going to a doctor to perform the procedure or trying it at home. DeGeneres' significant other, Anne Heche, wrote and directed the final segment; the 1972 story was directed by Martha Coolidge, and the 1961 episode was directed by Jane Anderson. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Table of Contents
This chapter is relevant for developers who are creating their own client library that communicates with the Couchbase Server. For instance, developers creating a library for language or framework that is not yet supported by Couchbase would be interested in this content.
Couchbase SDKs provide an abstraction layer your web application will use to communicate with a cluster. Your application logic does not need to contain logic about navigating information in a cluster, nor does it need much additional code for handling data requests.
Once your client makes calls into your client library the following should be handled automatically at the SDK level:
Maintain direct communications with the cluster,
Determining cluster topology,
Distribute requests to the cluster; automatically make reads and writes to the correct node in a cluster,
Direct and redirect requests based on topology changes,
Handle and direct requests appropriately during a failover.
In general, your Couchbase client library implemention will be similar to a memcached(binary protocol) client library implementation.
For instance, it may even be an extension of some existing memcached binary-protocol client library), but just supports a different key hashing approach. Instead of using modulus or ketama/consistent hashing, the new hashing approach in Couchbase is instead based around "vbuckets", which you can read up more about here
In the vBucket approach, to find a server to talk to for a given key, your client library should hash the key string into a vBucket-Id (a 16-bit integer). The default hash algorithm for this step is plain CRC, masked by the required number of bits. The vBucket-Id is then used as an array index into a server lookup table, which is also called a vBucket-to-server map. Those two steps will allow your client library to find the right couchbase server given a key and a vBucket-to-server map. This extra level of indirection (where we have an explicit vBucket-to-server map) allows couchbase to easily control item data rebalancing, migration and replication.

CBO: No sign Congress meant to limit health exchange subsidy
In a development that could complicate Republican efforts to limit funding for a key provision of President Barack Obama's healthcare law, a top congressional researcher said the issue of restricting subsidies never arose in producing the legislation. Congressional staff involved in the creation of the law did not suggest that federal insurance subsidies be restricted only to states that run their own healthcare exchanges, the head of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said on Thursday. "Nor was the issue raised during consideration of earlier versions of the legislation in 2009 and 2010," CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf informed Republican Representative Darrell Issa in a letter dated December 6.

Ask A QuestionHow much more power and sweet spot do you get from the 2011 Marucci Black to the 2013 Marucci Black 2? My son is 7 and has the 28/17 2 1/4" Black MYB11.
The 2013 Marucci Black 2: MYBB20 Youth bat does feature a more extended barrel design compared to the previous Marucci Black youth model.
This is not a big barrel bat is it?
The 2013 Marucci Black 2 has a 2 1/4" barrel, which is not considered a big barrel bat.
My son is 12 but on the smaller size being 4' 11" and only 85 lbs. Would this be a good bat for him, and what size would you recommend?
The 2013 Marucci Black 2: MYBB20 Youth has an extended barrel length but a balanced swing weight. Balanced bats are designed for contact hitters looking for more bat speed and control. The Black 2 is a good choice for smaller players, but its -11 length to weight ratio is 1-2 ounces heavier than other Youth models. Based on his height and weight, we recommend a 30" model.
Product Description
New for 2013! The all new Marucci Black 2 picks up right where the original Black left off. The extended barrel and massive sweet spot are back, but the Black 2 takes your game further than ever before. A more even balance point gives youth players complete control so that they can hit the sweet spot on ANY pitch. Plus, new anti-vibration technology, featuring a Kevlar-reinforced grip, means players don't have to give a second thought to hand sting ever again. The two-piece Black 2 features a seamless construction that maximizes the transfer of energy from barrel to ball. The barrel is made from Marucci's AZ3000 Aerospace Alloy that provides maximum responsiveness and durability. The extended barrel design of the Black 2 gives it a larger sweet spot and more jump off of the bat for MORE DISTANCE behind every hit! The handle is made from Marucci's carbon composite and fortified with their patented Unequal aramid-reinforced grip that silences the sting of off-center hits. When you swing the Marucci Black 2, expect nothing less than the best feeling bat EVER. Marucci: Made of Metal, Born from Wood! The Black 2 is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty.

The Characters (Masterplots II: American Fiction Series, Revised Edition)
Taylor Greer, the main character, enlists the warm wishes of the reader immediately through her open, honest narration. She quickly lets the reader into her middle-American background. With her rural Kentucky regionalisms and dialect, she is open and sincere. She has a good sense of humor and can laugh at herself as well as at others and at the comedy of human life. As both the narrator and the main character, she carries the story of growing into responsibility and love. She learns her own ignorance and political naïveté, and while her goodheartedness and compassion for others cannot protect her from pain, they reinforce her moral fiber, which gives her the courage to do right. She did not seek the responsibility of a child, but she accepts what fate seems to throw in her path.
Turtle, the child, is seen gradually to emerge from the cocoon of silence and withdrawal with which she surrounds herself, presumably as a result of the abuse she has suffered. She is the catalyst for Taylor's discovery of responsibility, commitment, and love.
Lou Ann Ruiz is at first only Taylor's housemate, but gradually the two develop a relationship that is strong, supportive, and mutually beneficial. Lou Ann constantly belittles herself—about her appearance, her capabilities, and her potential. Yet despite desertion by her husband, she slowly gains some self-confidence and is able to take a job in a salsa factory. Obsessed with the safety of her baby,...

Characters Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Taylor Greer
Taylor Greer, the protagonist and narrator. Born and reared in rural Pittman, Kentucky, she vows not to get pregnant and live the rest of her life in Pittman. After graduating from high school and working for five years in a hospital lab, she buys an old Volkswagen and drives west. She acquires an abandoned Native American child, whom she names Turtle, in Oklahoma. Taylor and Turtle end up in Tucson, Arizona, where Taylor struggles to rear a child by herself and earn a living. She becomes involved in the sanctuary movement for Central American refugees. Tough-minded and resilient, Taylor meets these challenges with humor, optimism, and courage.
Turtle Greer
Turtle Greer, Taylor's adopted Native American daughter. When Taylor leaves Kentucky to drive west, a young Native American woman leaves the two-year-old Turtle in Taylor's car. Turtle has been severely abused and does not begin to speak until six months after her arrival in Tucson. Taylor knows nothing about Turtle's parents or her background.
Lou Ann Ruiz
Lou Ann Ruiz (née Logan), who also is originally from Kentucky. She lives in Tucson with her infant son Dwayne Ray. After her husband, Angel Ruiz, leaves her, she advertises for a roommate, and Taylor and Turtle move in with her. Lou Ann is more traditionally domestic—and more pessimistic—than Taylor, but she provides Taylor with friendship and support, and...
(The entire section is 541 words.)
One of Kingsolver's greatest gifts as a novelist is characterization, and this skill is already firmly in place in The Bean Trees, her first novel. Though characters in her later novels show more depth and are more likely to be a complex mix of positive and negative traits, each and every person who appears in The Bean Trees is a unique individual with his or her own quirks and habits, with a history and a story to tell.
Taylor is a somewhat idealized character, but this is in keeping with the tradition of the quest narrative: a virtuous innocent thrust out into the world. Though raised poor by a single mother, Taylor possesses a great deal of self-confidence and courage. We can see that Taylor's mother helped form Taylor's feelings of self-worth, because in all of their interactions, her mother is positive, loving, and proud. Taylor has a strong, but undeveloped, sense of social justice, which by the end of the novel has turned into social activism. One of Taylor's most appealing traits is her humor. Her Kentucky-flavored narration shows the positive way she faces the world, and in her dialogue we see how she uses "smart remarks" both to diffuse difficult situations and to deflect emotions.
Despite their similar backgrounds, Lou Ann Ruiz is very different from Taylor. Lacking self-esteem, she constantly makes negative comments about her own appearance and is continually cutting her hair to find a style she will be satisfied...

Character Analysis
Taylor Greer
Taylor Greer's wise, colorful voice narrates the novel, and she serves as its central consciousness. A smart and spirited young woman who drives across the country alone to escape the monotony of her hometown, Taylor knows who she is and what she wants, but she is no rugged individualist—she needs other people to be part of her world. Born Marietta Greer in Pittman County, Kentucky, Taylor possessed a strong sense of identity even at a young age. While she was growing up, her Mama cleaned houses for wealthy people, and she heard her Mama call her employers "Miss this or Mister that." At the age of three Taylor knew she too deserved that kind of respect; she insisted on being called "Miss Marietta," and then "Miss Marietta" evolved into "Missy."
When Taylor leaves Pittman County for good as a young woman, she decides "that I would get myself a new name" for her new life, and she chooses the name Taylor because her broken-down '55 Volkswagen bug runs out of gas in Taylorville, Illinois. By fleeing her home, Taylor intends to escape the seemingly narrow life that her peers in Pittman County lead. But ironically, in her new life in Arizona she ends up with a child and employed at a used tire repair shop. She tells Estevan that "I spent the first half of my life avoiding motherhood and tires, and now I'm counting them as blessings." Taylor is a survivor and makes the best of her circumstances. She values loyalty and community, and in spite of her...
(The entire section is 396 words.)
Turtle Greer
Turtle is a silent, needy Cherokee toddler Taylor has foisted upon her by a frightened woman—Turtle's aunt—in the parking lot of a roadside bar in Oklahoma. The woman seems to want to save Turtle from something; she is nervous and appears to be afraid of a man who waits for her in his truck while she gives the baby to Taylor with no explanation: "Just take it," she begs Taylor. Taylor resists at first, telling the woman that "you can't just give somebody a kid," but she finally feels she has no choice, so she takes the baby. Taylor names her Turtle because of "the way that child held on." She tells the baby, "You're like a mud turtle. If a mud turtle bites you, it won't let go till it thunders."
Taylor soon discovers that Turtle has been badly abused and decides that she will keep her and take good care of her. Turtle begins to flourish under Taylor's care. In the dry Arizona weather, she grows and begins to talk, and all of her talk centers on growing things: flowers and vegetables. She loves Mattie's huge garden, learns the names of everything in the seed catalogs, and pretends that she is planting and tending to her own gardens. Taylor eventually must face the fact that she is keeping Turtle illegally, but by then the two feel like a real mother and daughter, so Taylor decides to adopt Turtle. The adoption process Taylor undertakes is unorthodox and not really legal, but it works, and the pair is able to stay together.
(The entire section is 264 words.)
Other Characters
The social worker who informs Taylor that she has no legal claim to Turtle but encourages her to try to adopt the little girl.
Esperanza, Estevan's wife, speaks little English and is silent throughout much of the novel; she also has a sad, distant quality about her, which makes Taylor wonder what has happened to her in the past. Upon meeting Esperanza for the first time, Taylor feels Esperanza's depression and notes that she "took up almost no space." Eventually Taylor learns that her sadness is due mostly to the fact that the small daughter she and Estevan had in Guatemala was taken from them by the government in a raid on their neighborhood. Esperanza's brother and two of their friends had also been killed in this raid.
Taylor's daughter Turtle reminds Esperanza of her own lost daughter, and Turtle's presence often seems to be painful for Esperanza. When Esperanza tries to kill herself while at Mattie's, and Estevan comes to tell Taylor about the suicide attempt, Taylor learns for the first time from him of the violent political events in Guatemala that led to their escape to the United States. Following this conversation, Taylor begins to see Esperanza and Estevan in a new light, saying that "All of Esperanza's hurts flamed up in my mind, a huge pile of burning things that the world just kept throwing more onto."
A gentle, handsome young English teacher who fled...

"At Lewis, I had the one-on-one access to professors that is so important when trying to understand complicated biological concepts. After Lewis, I picked grad school over pharmacy school and now have my PhD in Pharmacology."

Since its founding in 1946, the Department of Special Collections has become the repository for one of the country's leading collections of rare books, manuscripts, historic photographs, and other special materials.
Among its 333,000 rare books are the Ahmanson-Murphy Aldine Collection, the Michael Sadleir Collection of Nineteenth-Century British Fiction, the Children's Book Collection, the Elmer Belt Library of Vinciana, and the Nitka Collection of Fantastic Fiction. The department also houses extensive holdings of historical and contemporary Californiana, modern fine press printing, fine bindings, and artists' books.
In addition, the department possesses the largest collection of archival materials in the state of California. Highlights include the papers of Susan Sontag, Raymond Chandler, Aldous Huxley, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Ralph Bunche, as well as collections related to Southern California architecture; dance and Isadora Duncan; Asian American history, particularly the relocation of Japanese Americans during World War II; and the Orsini, an Italian noble family whose members were crucial power players in Italy from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century.
The department's photographic collections are extensive and include the works of many of the most celebrated practitioners of the art, such as Ansel Adams, Julia Margaret Cameron, Eadweard Muybridge, William Henry Fox Talbot, Carleton Watkins, and Edward Weston. The department also houses the photographic archives of the Los Angeles Times (1920-1990) and the Los Angeles Daily News (1923-1954).

BookPage ReviewsThe missiles of October
One had to be an adult living through that time to fully appreciate the fear kindled throughout the world by what is now called "the Cuban missile crisis"13 agonizing days in October 1962 when it seemed certain that the U.S. and the Soviet Union would wage an apocalyptic war over nuclear missiles Russia had attempted to install in Cuba.
In the years since, the complexities of that confrontation have been reduced to a manageable American myth in which young but resolute President Kennedy faces down wily, impulsive Premier Khrushchev. Not so, says Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs in One Minute to Midnight. In his accounting, both Kennedy and Khrushchev emerge as temperate and essentially moral leaders who succeeded in staving off warmongers within their own ranks, notably the pugnacious Gen. Curtis LeMay, who had distinguished himself in World War II by firebombing Tokyo, and Fidel Castro, who was still bristling with revolutionary fervor.
Dobbs draws on interviews with eyewitnesses, White House tape recordings, surveillance photos, contemporary news accounts and overlooked records to show the chaotic randomness of events and why so many things went wrong. American intelligence was greatly flawed, seriously underestimating the number of Russian troops and missiles in Cuba. Castro (not without reason) was certain the U.S. would invade the island at any moment. Had it done so, Dobbs reveals, Russian forces armed with tactical nuclear weapons were set to destroy the naval base at Guantánamo Bay.
Then there were the wild cards that could have tipped the uneasy standoff into full-fledged war. Among these were the U-2 spy plane the Russians shot down over Cuba. Most perilous of all were the primitive means of communication between the two governments that could never keep up with the rapid shifts in circumstances.
One Minute to Midnight is another persuasive argument that war is too important to be left in the hands of generals.
Edward Morris writes from Nashville.

Kristen and Taylor are in Australia right now to promote Eclipse - lots of pappz met them at the airport.
Rob is lucking out of these promos by having a movie to do..........bet he's glad of that. Except he can't be with KStew.
Rob's eyes look dark like Edwards, back in the Twilight days, not his natural greenish blue. Does it seem that way to anyone else? He looks like he is wearing dark contacts. I'm not sure if he is hotter with dark eyes or green, I like both I think.
the second one..AWWW!
Rob..i am begging u for mercy! *THUD*

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"As soon as I saw this label, I loved the look! The idea of the fireflies in & around the mason jars took me back to my youth enjoying summer with friends. I loved the 'fun' & light-hearted feel of these labels. I want people to smile when they see them! I did not have any problems with the design, the ordering or the delivery. The final product is perfect!"
"Ordered these labels as a a Christmas gift for my parents who live at the beach. They are perfect and I know they will love them. Arrived before date and are printed on quality paper. They look pricier than they were. Thank you wedding paper divas!"
"The labels looked exactly like how they appeared on the computer when I ordered them. The paper stuck very well to the envelopes and I will probably order more."
"I love these address labels! They are colorful and high quality. The labels are a little big for 3x5 cards, but I use them anyway. The turn around time was awesome! I chose the standard shipping, yet I received my order within days. Much sooner than the delivery estimate. I ordered these to use on all of the thank you notes from my recent wedding and I've gotten lots of comments about how cute they are!"
"These labels are great! The customization process was simple. The quality is great for the price point. I didn't use these as address labels, but as a label for bubbles for my wedding. They were a perfect fit! the I highly recommend this prodiuct!"

As an American I give everyone a chance. I don't care what their story is and many times i find a new hero, but you don't start off breaking the law and amount to much, in most cases. Sure the democrats have pandered to and encouraged the legal and illegal population growth since Ted Kennedy, but the Republicans did nothing to resolve the issue of another tribe competing for their chunk of the American corpse.

Hispanics come to the US for two reasons: 1. To staff the coming reconquista, and 2. To make a living without working thanks to the US welfare state. Click Here if you Like this Comment
I'm already furious at the way Hispanics are given preferential treatment. They already have preference in getting into college, the problem is that once they get in they don't have the intellectual chops to finish. Hence, we've spent tax dollars on them, and took the spot from a more qualified student, all for no purpose.It's difficult enough for a student to get into a state university here in California, but once they move the illegals ahead kids like my son will have no chance.What proves my point is that any brilliant black or hispanic kid who applies themselves will get a free ride at a great university, and yet they're having trouble filling their quotas. The problem is that in non-Asian minority families success at school is not supported or encouraged. There are exceptions, but the "don't give a damn" percentage is at least 80%, at least in our community.My son's teachers have told me that it's difficult to get the minority parents to attend parent/teacher conferences, or respond to phone calls. They just want baby sitters. And, heaven forbid, their kid gets into trouble, it's never their kid's fault and the teachers take verbal and physical abuse for even mentioning it.

The wimpy Republicans would be committing long-term political suicide if they allow a liberal Democrat amnesty to pass for 12-20 million illegal aliens that puts them on a "path to citizenship" that is liberal Democrat code speak for eventually granting many millions of legalized aliens US voting rights.Even if only about half of the legalized aliens ever register and vote, the liberal Democrats would have many millions of new foreign born voters to continue their transformation of America, and ensure that the Republicans are never able again to win national elections.
