Bette Davis Movies
The daughter of a Massachusetts lawyer, American actress
Bette Davis
matured with a desire to become an actress upon her graduation from Cushing Academy, but was turned away from Eva LeGallienne's Manhattan Civic Repertory in New York. Undaunted,
enrolled in John Murray Anderson's Dramatic School, where everyone (including classmate
Lucille Ball
) regarded her as the star pupil. After a 1928 summer season with director
George Cukor
's stock company in Rochester, NY (where she worked with future co-star -- and rival --
Miriam Hopkins
went on to Broadway, starring in Broken Dishes and Solid South before Hollywood called. Dazzling on-stage,
was signed to a contract by Universal in 1930. After an unimpressive debut in
Bad Sister
in 1931, however,
was out of work, but picked up by Warner Bros. soon thereafter.
applied herself with white-hot intensity to becoming a star with that company, and after a major role in the 1932
George Arliss
The Man Who Played God
, a star she became. Still, the films at Warner Bros. were uneven, and it wasn't until the studio loaned out
to play the bravura role of Mildred in RKO's
Of Human Bondage
(1934) that the critics began to take notice.
An Oscar nomination seemed inevitable for her performance in
, but
was let down by Warner Bros., which didn't like the fact that her best appearance had been in a rival's movie, and it failed to get behind her Oscar campaign (although there was a significant write-in vote for the actress). But, in 1935,
excelled as a self-destructive actress in the otherwise turgid film
, and an Oscar was finally hers. And when Warner Bros. subsequently failed to give
the top roles she felt she then merited, the actress went on strike and headed for England. She lost a legal battle with the studio and came back, but it acknowledged her grit and talent by increasing her salary and giving her much better roles. In 1939 alone,
starred in
Dark Victory
The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex
, and
The Old Maid
. But she didn't get the plum role of the season -- Scarlet O'Hara in
Gone With the Wind
-- because Warner Bros. wouldn't loan her to
David O. Selznick
Errol Flynn
was chosen to play Rhett Butler (a piece of casting both
violently opposed). But
had already had her turn at playing a Southern belle in
(1938), which won her second a Oscar.
As her star status increased in the 1940s,
found that it would have to be at the expense of her private life -- she would be married and divorced four times, admitting toward the end of her life that her career came first, last, and always. A fling at being her own producer in 1946 was disappointing, and her contract with Warner Bros. petered out in 1949 with a string of unsuccessful films.
made a spectacular comeback in 1950 when she replaced an ailing
Claudette Colbert
in the role of Margot Channing in the Oscar-winning
All About Eve
. Though suffering from a bone disease that required part of her jaw to be removed,
continued to work in films throughout the '50s; but, in 1961, things came to a standstill, forcing the actress to take out a famous job-wanted ad in the trade papers.
In 1962,
began the next phase of her career when she accepted the role of a whacked-out former child star in
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
This led to a string of gothic horror films that did little to advance
' reputation, but kept her in the public eye. It was also in 1962 that
penned her thoughtful and honest autobiography The Lonely Life. Working in movies, TV, on-stage and on one-woman lecture tours into the '70s,
may have been older but no less feisty and combative; her outspokenness may have unnerved some of her co-stars, but made her an ideal interview subject for young film historians and fans. In 1977,
received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute, an honor usually bestowed upon performers who were retired or inactive. Not
. She kept at her craft into the '80s, even after a stroke imposed serious limitations on her speech and movement. Amidst many TV movies and talk-show appearances,
gave one last memorable film appearance in
The Whales of August
(1987), in which she worked with another venerable screen legend,
Lillian Gish
. Though plagued with illness,
was formidable to the end -- so much so that when she died in France at the age of 82, a lot of her fans refused to believe it. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hollywood Remembers: All About Bette
Known equally for her steely persona as her award-winning talent, Bette Davis was Tinseltown's greatest diva. Her legacy is documented in Hollywood Remembers: All About Bette. Davis took the movie business by storm playing everything from a fragile blind woman to a vicious killer. Her years at the various studios taught her to deal wisely in business matters while jockeying for better and better leading roles. With two Academy awards under her belt, Davis continued to dominate the box office late into her career. Archival footage and film clips complete this Jodie Foster-narrated look back at the first lady of the American screen. ~ Sarah Ing, Rovi

Add The Whales of August to top of Queue
A once-in-a-lifetime cast of veterans performs David Berry's play about Libby Strong (Bette Davis) and Sarah Webber (Lillian Gish), widowed sisters vacationing on a Philadelphia island for their 60th consecutive summer. Libby is blind and embittered, while Sarah is healthy, supportive, and almost annoyingly chipper. Their neighbor Tisha (Ann Sothern) tries to convince Sarah to put Libby in the care of her daughter, but Sarah hasn't forgotten Libby's moral support when her own husband died, and she won't entertain such notions -- until she is swept off her feet by an aging roué (Vincent Price). When Libby spitefully sabotages this romance, an infuriated Sarah decides that gratitude has its limits. But when it actually comes down to selling their summer house and sending Libby packing, Sarah can't do it. In the film's flashback sequences, Libby is played by Margaret Ladd, Sarah by Mary Steenburgen, and Tisha by Ann Sothern's real-life daughter Tisha Sterling. Another film personality of long standing, Harry Carey Jr., is well cast as the sisters' handyman. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

As Summers Die
As Summers Die was produced as an "HBO Premiere" attraction. Set in the segregationist South of the 1950s, the film pits the wealthy but decadent members of a landed-gentry white family against a feisty old black woman, on whose property oil has been discovered. Idealistic attorney Scott Glenn bucks the family--and the inbred prejudices of the community--to protect the woman's interests. He finds himself with two unsuspected allies in the forms of young Jamie Lee Curtis and ancient Bette Davis, two "renegade" members of the very family that wants to grab the oil-rich land. As Summers Die had its cable-TV debut on May 17, 1986. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Directed by William Wyler
This excellent biographical documentary looks at the life and work of director William Wyler. The film is dominated by clips from many of Wyler's better-known works, such as Roman Holiday, Ben-Hur, and Funny Girl. A long interview with the director himself (conducted a few days before he died) provides his personal perspective on his work and interviews with his actors and colleagues offer some surprising comments about the man. Terence Stamp feels Wyler may not have had a good command of English, while Laurence Olivier notes that Wyler taught him how to drop theatrical exaggerations and act for the camera. Bette Davis gives the most extensive commentary. Excerpts from home movies show Wyler and his family on vacation and also record a bit of the making of Wuthering Heights. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Murder With Mirrors
Helen Hayes makes her second TV appearance as Agatha Christie's female sleuth Miss Marple in Murder with Mirrors. Marple has been summoned to the lavish country estate of her old friend Carrie Louise Serrocold (Bette Davis). Carrie's stepson has been killed, and she fears that his won't be the last corpse to befoul the estate. She's right, and the game is afoot for Miss Marple once more, with a full contingent of prime suspects (including John Mills, Leo McKern and Dorothy Tutin). Murder with Mirrors was filmed on location on a genuine 13th century British estate. If Helen Hayes seems more spirited than Bette Davis (eight years Helen's junior), it's because Bette was seriously ill prior to and during shooting. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Little Gloria... Happy at Last
Little Gloria...Happy at Last is the two-part TV adaptation of Barbara Goldsmith's 1980 best-seller. The film concerns the true-life custody battle over the daughter of millionaire Reggie Vanderbilt (Christopher Plummer) and his "child bride," Gloria Morgan (Lucy Gutteridge). When the over-imbibing Reggie dies, Gloria enjoys the high life as a wealthy widow, leaving her daughter in the care of her sister-in-law, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (chillingly portrayed by Angela Lansbury in her TV-movie debut). Gloria's personal income, predicated on the child's inheritance, is severely cut, whereupon Gloria sues the indomitable Vanderbilts for custody of her daughter. We won't tell you the outcome, but we can tell you that "Little Gloria," the ten-year-old focus of the custody fight, grew up to be the same Gloria Vanderbilt who went into the designer jeans business. Little Gloria...Happy at Last was originally telecast October 24 and 25, 1982. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Arthur Hailey's novel Hotel had already served as the inspiration for a 1967 theatrical film when this TV pilot came along on September 21, 1983. Bette Davis stars as Laura Trent, the entrenched owner of the Hotel St. Gregory (moved from the novel's New Orleans to San Francisco, to allow for location filming at San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel). In true Love Boat fashion, Ms. Trent and hotel manager Peter McDermott (James Brolin) oversee four separate plot strands. A hooker (Morgan Fairchild) is raped in the hotel by a bunch of preppies who'd hired her for "just talk". A neurotic aspiring singer (Erin Moran) tries to interrupt the act of the hotel's lounge entertainer Mel Torme (himself). A very-married lady (Shirley Jones) checks in to conduct an illicit affair. And a feisty young woman (Connie Sellecca, a regular on the subsequent series) shows up unhired as McDermott's assistant manager. The Hotel series ran from 1983 to 1988, during which time an ailing Bette Davis was replaced by Anne Baxter; in the early 1990s, reruns of the series popped up rather incongruously on cable's E! Entertainment Network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Right of Way
This story about an elderly couple who start a large controversy when everyone learns they plan on committing suicide stars James Stewart as the retired Teddy Dwyer, and Betty Davis is his wife Mini Dwyer. When Mini learns she is terminally ill with a blood disease, the couple decide to end their lives peacefully, at the same time. Mini's mistake was to finally tell her daughter Ruda (Melinda Dillon), and from there, the news eventually leaks out and gets passed on to the media. Right of Way tries to balance precariously between a serious theme and a light-hearted couple, as Teddy continues engrossed in his books and Mini in her long-practiced art of making specialty dolls, with their housecats all around them. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Hollywood Outtakes and Rare Footage
Rather than a compilation of a series of hilarious bloopers, plus scenes of current stars never-before shown to the public, this collection of film clips focuses on a Hollywood of long ago. Stars from Warner Bros. in the 1930s and '40s are shown in out-takes that mainly illustrate their short tempers (James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart among them), while a variety of clips, including screen tests (Marilyn Monroe) catch famous actors from the 1930s to the '60s in ironic or very youthful and naive moments. The humor, when it occurs, depends on the viewpoint of the beholder: "At Home with Joan Crawford" shows her putting her children to sleep while a voiceover says "Good-night Mommy Dearest." James Dean discusses the dangers of fast driving on the highway in one clip filmed not long before he was killed in a head-on collision, driving 115 mph near Paso Robles. Judy Garland sings Over the Rainbow in a radio show with Bob Hope that was captured on film. Another short made in 1937 shows Constance Bennett demonstrating her beauty secrets; others show Bette Davis promoting war bonds in the 1940s, and Shirley Temple doing a segment for the Red Cross. For anyone interested in Hollywood stars, these film clips are curiosities that reveal more than just the screen persona of actors who were "manufactured in Hollywood." ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

A Piano for Mrs. Cimino
Directed by George Schaefer, this light made-for-television drama is based upon the novel of the same name by Robert Oliphant. Starring Bette Davis as Esther Cimino, a 73-year-old widow, the film traces the events following Esther's son George's (George Hearn) decision that she is no longer capable of caring for herself in her ederly state. Despite her protests, Esther is ruled incompetent by the legal system, leading her to wage a court battle to regain not only her estate but her dignity as well. Also starring Penny Fuller and Christopher Guest, A Piano for Mrs. Cimino first aired on February 3, 1982 on CBS and was later nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Film Editing. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Family Reunion
Written for television by Allan Sloane, Family Reunion stars Bette Davis as an ageing New England schoolteacher who is given an "unlimited" bus ticket as a retirement present. She uses this gift to visit the farthest-flung members of her long-estranged family. In her absence, Davis' small town falls prey to corruptive influences, but with the help of her more honest relatives (four generations' worth, including Bette's real-life grandson J. Ashley Hyman), everything is resolved at the annual Founder's Day gathering. Family Reunion originally aired in two parts, on October 11 and 12, 1981; the preponderance of Davis' family members and unresolved plot strands would seem to suggest that this 4-hour film was intended as a series pilot. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

White Mama
Bette Davis is White Mama in this custom-made TV movie. Ms. Davis plays a poverty-stricken widow who is too proud to go on welfare. Aware that she can receive a steady income if she takes in a foster child, Davis becomes surrogate mother to tough black teenager Ernest Harden Jr. The relationship is shaky at best in the beginning, but soon foster mother and foster "child" learn to love, respect and trust one another. Originally telecast March 3, 1980, White Mama garnered an Emmy nomination for Bette Davis. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Skyward is a 1980 GE Theatre presentation in the lofty tradition of TV's Golden Age. Bette Davis stars (what an inadequate word!) as a 60-year-old retired barnstorming airplane pilot. Real-life paraplegic Suzy Gilstrap portrays a wheelchair-bound team who is "tired of looking up all the time." It is her dream to become a pilot herself, a goal renounced by her overprotective parents and her self-centered boyfriend. But Davis, after initial heated protestations, agrees to train Gilstrap in the rigors of flying--specifically stunt-flying. Directed by Ron Howard, Skyward was produced and cowritten by Howard's Happy Days costar Anson Williams, while another Happy Days alumnus, Marion Ross, appears as Suzy Gilstrap's mother. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Dark Secret of Harvest Home
This television miniseries is based on Thomas Tryon's complex and suspenseful occult thriller Harvest Home, delving into the forbidden rituals of the small New England township Cornwall Combe, whose residents offer annual human sacrifices to pagan gods in return for a bountiful corn harvest. The production is notable mainly for the participation of Bette Davis, who plays the powerful Widow Fortune, the town's leading practitioner of the black arts. A very young Rosanna Arquette co-stars as one of the new kids in town. Beware the severely cut home video version, which omits almost 200 minutes of footage and thus loses a great deal of clarity. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

The Disappearance of Aimee
In 1926, flamboyant evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson disappeared for six weeks. At first feared drowned (she'd been vacationing on a California beach at the time she vanished), Aimee finally showed up, wandering barefoot in the Mexican desert. For the benefit of the press, Aimee related a fantastic story of being kidnapped and held for ransom, a story given "credence" by a ransom note which popped up at her Four Square Gospel headquarters. Aimee's tale was full of holes; as more facts became known, it was apparent (to everyone but "true believers") that Aimee had spent those six weeks on a romantic idyll with Kenneth Ormiston, a married radio technician. This made-for-TV movie takes no sides in the controversy, offering generous space to both theories; still, Aimee does not come off as being particularly saint-like. Faye Dunaway stars as Aimee, Bette Davis co-stars as her domineering mother, and William Jordan is man-in-the-middle Ormiston. Written by John McGreevey, The Disappearance of Aimee was the November 17, 1976, presentation of NBC's Hallmark Hall of Fame. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Scream, Pretty Peggy
Bette Davis stars in the TV movie Scream, Pretty Peggy. She isn't Peggy, but instead the secretive matriarch of a spooky household. Peggy, played by Sian Barbara Allen, is a goggle-eyed college student hired by Davis as a housekeeper. Ted Bessell plays Davis's son, a crazed sculptor; but no one ever sees Bessell's maniacal sister (where's Anthony Perkins when you need him?). Be assured that pretty Peggy takes up the invitation proposed by the film's title and screams loud and often. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Judge and Jake Wyler
Even Bette Davis showed up in a TV-movie pilot from time to time. The Judge and Jake Wyler stars the indestructible Davis as a hypochondriac former judge who becomes a private detective. Davis puts paroled ex-con Doug McClure to work as her "leg man," searching for clues in the supposed suicide of the heroine's (Joan Van Ark) businessman father. Had Judge and Jake Wyler sold as a series, Davis would have had to choose between this project and another projected weekly, Madame Sin; the decision was made for her when neither series sold. Two years later, Judge and Jake Wyler was rewritten, recast with Lee Grant and Lou Antonio, and repitched as a pilot under the title Partners in Crime (which also didn't fly). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

March special election could be costly
Posted at: 12/15/2012 6:00 PM
| Updated at: 12/15/2012 6:32 PM
By: KOB.com Staff
The Albuquerque city clerk started certifying petition signatures Wednesday to see if there were enough to hold a special election in March.
A special interest group wants voters to approve a measure that would require candidates for mayor and city council to get at least 50 percent of the vote to win.
The special election will have just that one question on it and could cost up to $750,000 to hold.
"I think it's ridiculous to spend that much money for just one question and I think it should possibly wait until there's either the primary election or put it on the ballot for that or something," Leticia Flores said.
"I think it's a lot of money and it could probably be used for something more beneficial to different things going on in the states and everything," Lauren Kesani said.
Petition spokesman Paul Broome said it should help ensure that someone with just minority support won't win an election.

(CNN) – The partial government shutdown may be nearing an end.
House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday that he will encourage his Republican caucus to support a Senate plan to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling.
In a radio interview with WLW in his home state of Ohio, Boehner said, "we fought the good fight. We just didn't win."
The senate plan would fund the government through mid-January and raise the debt limit until early February.
Congress must pass the deal by midnight Thursday to avoid a possible U.S. default.

The Pre-Health Program is administered jointly by the Committee for the Health Professions and by the Career Center. Any student who is interested in a career in the health professions (medicine, dentistry, optometry, veterinary medicine, nursing, etc.), should contact the Career Center as soon as possible. At the beginning of the academic year, first year students who have expressed an interest in a health related career receive a notice to attend an informational meeting. At this meeting, information regarding required course work and the Pre-Health advising program will be covered and interested individuals will be added to the list of Pre-Health students.Each student is assigned one of the committee members as his or her Pre-Health Advisor. The advisor will work with the student each semester on course selection and will draft the Committee letter of recommendation when the student applies to professional school. The Committee also provides advice and prepares evaluations for students interested in any of the health professions. The pre-health advisor in the Career Center supports all pre-health students with health career information as well as provides encouragement as requested by students during the application and interview process. The majority of students who are accepted into medical school major in one of the sciences. Pursuing a major outside the sciences is possible, but students must show their ability to do superior work in biology, chemistry, and physics. If planning to attend professional school immediately following graduation, students in all majors should plan to finish the science courses by the end of the junior year in order to be prepared for the Medical College Admission Test, or other professional exam which should be taken in the spring of the junior year.Requirements for the medical and dental schools and many allied health schoolsSatisfactory completion of the following: Chemistry: 4 courses - 141 (OR 13, 132), 241, 242 plus one additional course (Chemistry 243 or 244 are strongly recommended) Chemistry 111 will not satisfy this requirement. [Chemistry 243 is Modern Chemical Analysis and the material covered in that course is very good preparation for the MCAT.]Biology: any two 100-level courses (216 Genetics, 313 Cell Biology, and 333 Physiology are also recommended along with 334 Vertebrate Biology for some programs)Physics: 2 courses - 141, 142 or 131, 132 (Although 131, 132 is acceptable, some topics on the MCAT exam are not covered in these courses.)English: 2 courses - any two are satisfactory. The First-Year Seminar fulfills the requirement for a course in English composition. The remaining course should be in English literature.Mathematics: 170,171 and one additional math course. Students are advised to check the requirements of schools to which they may apply.NOTE: This is a list of the minimum courses required by all medical schools, the majority of dental schools and many of the allied health schools. While these must be taken during college, individual schools may have additional requirements.Other admission criteria include the science grade point average, exam scores, the letter of evaluation from the undergraduate college, and the outcome of a personal interview (if required) by the professional school. An overall academic average of 3.50 or better is needed to be a competitive applicant.The Career Center has information on professional schools, applications for these schools, and applications for the MCAT and DAT exams. A reference service is also provided by the College to support the application process. More information will be provided to juniors at the annual meeting for those applying to professional school.Medical school admission test (MCAT)All applicants to medical schools must take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) which is given in April and August of each year. The preferred time to take it is in the spring of the applicant's junior year.Dental Admissions Test (DAT)Applicants to dental schools must take the Dental Admission Test, a computer-based exam offered throughout the year at local and regional test centers. Again, spring of the junior year is the recommended time to take this test.Tests in other health professionsOther health professions have similar testing programs as well. Information is available from the Career Center.

I know the Convolution TOP can be used to perform some operations, but any suggestions for operations such as Erosion or Dilation?
Also, we are looking to be able to perform "hole" filling on blobs. Is there some strategy to perform a flood fill operation from a given pixel?

As a gay couple who have been together since 1992, we know that gay and lesbian couples can and do form long-term, stable, supportive relationships, and we believe the institution of marriage and all the responsabilities and benefits that come with it should be opened up to committed gay and lesbian couples everywhere. To this end, we created Purple Unions as a place where gay and lesbian couples can find gay friendly wedding vendors to help them plan their perfect wedding day.The Bahamas has a constitutional ban on gay marriage, does not allow adoption by gay and lesbian couples, and it is illegal to have gay or lesbian sex or for gay and lesbian couples to cohabitate.We hope that you find these resources useful, and that you'll join us in the fight for marriage equality!--Scott & Mark, Purple Unions |

9:52am Thursday 17th May 2012
Scott Thwaites continued his run of success by winning the first-ever Scottish round of the The Halfords Tour Series on Tuesday.
The Burley-in-Wharfedale rider made it a great day for his Endura team by taking the individual honours.
After a fast-paced start to the 2012 season of team-based racing, Thwaites outsprinted an Antipodean trio of Bernard Sulzberger, Rico Rogers and Dean Windsor around Kirkcaldy's tough 1.4 kilometre circuit.
With team-mates Windsor and Jonathan McEvoy placing fourth and eighth, Thwaites' Endura team also took the team honours to pull on the five orange Halfords leaders' jerseys.
Thwaites, who also won last year's Stoke-on-Trent round of the series, said: "It's a good race, the circuit's really good.
"I think everyone was a bit shocked with it being the first crit of the season. It was tough so it got the heart going.
"We (Endura Racing) said that we weren't going to go for a lead out, as that automatically writes one guy off, so it was all four of us trying to stay on the front.
"I was second and thought I might as well take it up now, about 500 metres out. You've got to take a few risks to win, and I took a few. I absolutely ragged it all the way to the finish line."
Two days earlier Thwaites had finished ninth in the popular Lincoln Grand Prix.
The race was won by his Endura team-mate Russell Downing who notched up a record fourth win.

Great pair of shoes
I have plantar faciitis and was looking for a pair of shoes that would be comfortable. I have found it in these shoes. The base was very "cushiony" and allowed me to walk comfortably on vacation for the entire day. I would definitely recommend these shoes!

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Acharei Mot - Shishi
Rabbi Yitzchak Etshalom
Do Not Touch
G-d then outlined the forbidden sexual relationships. No one may even initiate romantic activity with such relations, let alone consummate it. These relationships include: one's parents, stepmother, sister, grandchildren, aunts, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law.
Also forbidden: a mother and daughter or a grandmother and granddaughter. (This does not mean simultaneously; it means that one may not marry a woman and then later marry her daughter.) One may not even marry sisters, although it becomes permitted to marry a sister if the first one passes away.
One may not be intimate with a woman from the time her period begins until she attends the mikvah. And not only is having relations with another man's wife forbidden, doing so makes her forbidden to her husband! (This is only if she's a willing participant, not if she's coerced. And no, she can't marry the adulterer, so it wouldn't be an easy way out of her marriage.)
Of all idolatrous practices, G-d tells us that the most reprehensible was the service of Molech, which involved a person passing his children through fire. This especially ticks G-d off, so don't do it!

Dell is bringing Ivy Bridge to the server room
Subject: General Tech | May 10, 2012 - 12:34 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: xeon e3, Ivy Bridge, E3-1200 v2, dell, 22nm
Dell's microserver family is undergoing a major change right now as their 5000 series is moving to the new generation of chips from Intel. The current C5000 and C5125 uses Athlon II X2 and X4 and Phenom II X2 chips based on the customers preferences and will continue to do so for the near future but the C5220 will be using the not quite yet released yet Xeon E3-1200 v2. That Ivy Bridge chip means that Dell expects to be selling 17W and 45W versions of the C5220 which gives Intel a nice lead in power efficiency and processing density. As more new Xeons come out you will see models requiring more power and thus less physical servers in a rack. Dell expects to fit a dozen of the lower powered models into a full rack mount chassis and eight of the higher wattage models. Check out the specifics as well as hints as to the other members of the Ivy Bridge contingent of the Xeon family at The Register.
"Dell's PowerEdge server line is once again trying to get out in front of Intel, announcing that its PowerEdge-C family of microservers are revved up with the new Ivy Bridge Xeon E3 processors, which the chip giant is launching soon."

Intel moves on the server room with 40 processors due for release
Subject: General Tech | January 3, 2012 - 01:58 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Intel, server, cpu, Romley, Ivy Bridge-H2, xeon e3, xeon e5
The server room will be getting an update over the next year thanks to Intel releasing numerous CPU models based on different architectures. First up comes Romley with a total of seven 8-core Xeons, a half dozen 6-core Xeons including both the E5-1660 and 1650 as well as the E5-2640 and relatives, five 4-core Xeons and a single dual core CPU. That will take us until close to summer. By then Intel will be working on eleven different Ivy Bridge-H2 series CPUs including the Xeon E3-1290v2 as well as seven more higher end processors including Xeon E5-2470, which will take us towards the end of 2012.
In addition to the regular lineup, DigiTimes also lists four low power Xeons which will arrive in 2012 including the 8-core Xeon E5-2650L.
"Intel is set to launch 40 new processors including those for its upcoming Romley platform, in the first half of 2012 with the company to release 20 models each quarter, according to sources from server players."

Developmental Milestones in the Months after PregnancyTo strengthen your baby's language and literacy skills, talk to her, sing to her, and, as she gets older, read to her. Make learning fun. Help her develop thinking skills and understand "cause and effect" by responding to her cries and meeting her needs. Remember, you can't spoil a baby. And by being there when she needs you, your baby develops a sense of security, which in turn will build her confidence. Then she'll be more willing to take on new challenges, get along with others, share, and make friends. The following milestones can help you to track your baby's development, and include "Watch Lists" to alert you to call your baby's health care provider if you think she has a problem that may require special attention. This information was adapted from Caring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5 by Steven Shelov and Robert E. Hannemann, copyright 1991, 1993, 1998, 2004 by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Used by permission of Bantam Books, a division of Random House, Inc. It's important to remember that each baby develops at her own rate and in her own way, and that as a parent, you know your baby best. And don't forget to adjust the milestones if your baby was born prematurely or underweight; your baby may need a little extra time to catch up. Talk to your baby's health care provider about what to expect and don't hesitate to call her provider when you have questions or concerns. Most recent page update: 9/9/2010

Lighthouses of Tasmania |
State Indexes > TAS > Mersey Bluff Lighthouse |
The Mersey Bluff Lighthouse The Mersey Bluff Lighthouse standing at the mouth of the Mersey River near Devonport is unusual in Australia with its distinctive vertical red striped day mark. |
LOCATION: | Latitude 41° 10' S, Longitude 146° 21'E (Map) |
OPERATOR: | Australian Maritime Safety Authority |
CHARACTER: | Group Flashing (4) in 20.0 Seconds |
LIGHT SOURCE: | 1000 Watt 120v, Tungsten Halogen |
POWER SOURCE: | 120V DC Battery Bank Charged from 240V Mains Supply |
INTENSITY: | White: 43,800 cd; Red: 8,700 cd |
ELEVATION: | 37 Metres |
RANGE: | White: 17 Nautical Miles; Red: 14 Nautical Miles |
HEIGHT: | 13 Metres |
The Mersey Bluff Lighthouse was established in 1889 and is built of bricks on a stone base. It replaced a succession of beacons and obelisks that had formerly stood on the site. It also replaced the earlier Don River light. In 1910 the original kerosene lamp was converted to acetylene gas which was supplied by a Colt seven-day acetylene generator. The light was converted to DC electric operation in 1920 and demanned at the same time.It was connected to mains power in 1978. The lighthouse stands on top of the bluff to western side of the mouth of the Mersey River in Tasmania north of the Port of Devonport. The establishment of the lighthouse ended a history of wrecks in this area. The Commonwealth assumed responsibility for the lighthouse under the Commonwealth Lighthouse Act in 1915 It is unusual for an Australian lighthouse to have vertical stripes in it's day mark. Another unusual feature of this lightstation is that it was connected to town water in 1901. |

Who but Barbie can look great, sexy and fashionable in gold larme all at the same time? It's no wonder 50 years on, women around the world, still want to be like her, be her friend and have her clothes!!
I know I do!
It's where (like for many – oh god I'm a cliche!) I started my love for clothes… making a boob tube out of white and lemon wool (must of been itchy) for her back in the 80s, quietly thinking, Mmm wonder if I can get this in my size…
Never in the same dress twice, every colour suits her, every hairstyle works – I can see my work will never be done here…oh to keep reaching for the ultimate barbie costume!!
Happy Birthday Barbie!

Enzootic pneumonia (EP) is characterized by high morbidity and low mortality, and although pigs of all ages are susceptible to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection, a variety of other respiratory pathogens plays an important role in the development of Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex (PRDC) like Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Pasteurella multocida, Streptococcus suis, influenza virus and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2). A total of 280 pig lungs with typical EP lesions were processed by molecular techniques. M. hyopneumoniae and M. hyorhinis were detected as a result of bacteriological cultures. Streptococcus suis type II, P. multocida, Streptococcus spp. and S. equisimilis were found in lung tissue samples. These results are a contribution to the knowledge of the enzootic pneumonia and the factors should be kept in mind in future works for the control of this entity. This research sets the basis for more complete studies of EP molecular epidemiology in Cuba.
Keywords: mycoplasmas, pigs, enzootic pneumonia, diagnostic.
La neumonía enzoótica (EP) se caracteriza por una alta morbilidad y baja mortalidad, y aunque los cerdos de todas las edades son susceptibles a la infección por Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, existe una variedad de otros patógenos respiratorios que desempeñan un papel importante en el desarrollo del complejo respiratorio porcino (PRCD, siglas en inglés) como Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Pasteurella multocida, Streptococcus suis, virus de la influenza y el circovirus porcino tipo 2 (PCV-2). Un total de 280 pulmones de cerdos con lesiones típicas EP fueron procesados mediante técnicas moleculares detectándose M. hyopneumoniae y M. hyorhinis, además como resultado de cultivos bacteriológicos se detectaron Streptococcus suis tipo II, P. multocida, Streptococcus spp. y S. equisimilis a partir de muestras de tejido pulmonar. Estos resultados son un aporte al conocimiento de la neumonía enzoótica y los factores que deben tenerse en cuenta en futuros trabajos para el control de esta entidad. Esta investigación establece las bases para estudios más completos de la EP de epidemiología molecular en Cuba.
Palabras clave: micoplasmas, cerdos, neumonía enzootica, diagnostico.
The main clinical sign of Enzootic pneumonia (EP) is the gradual onset of a chronic and non-productive coughing particularly in pigs at the final stage of the production cycle. Co-infection with the previous detailed additional pathogens results in fever, anorexia and labored breathing [1, 2]. The disease is characterized by high morbidity and low mortality. Pigs of all ages are susceptible to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae but it is not usually observed in animals younger than 6 weeks of age [3].
The prevalence of EP is particularly high in animals of mid-finishing to slaughter age. The severity of clinical signs dictated by the involved M. hyopneumoniae strain is due to infection pressure, secondary infections and environmental conditions [4]. When M. hyopneumoniae infection is not complicated by concomitant pathogens, the disease can take a subclinical course with mild clinical signs consisting in chronic, non-productive coughing, although gradual can be inconsistent, and of variable intensity depending on the infecting dose of M. hyopneumoniae [5].
On the other hand, M. hyorhinis, isolated in the upper respiratory tract and tonsils of swine, is a frequent pathogenic microorganism that causes polyserositis, retarded growth, and reduced feed efficiency [6]. Furthermore, in Japan, this pathogen has also been implicated in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndromes [7]. In Taiwan, M. hyorhinis has been isolated from lung lesions of pneumonia-infected pigs and its presence has been confirmed by antibody binding and Western blotting studies [8] in relation to the Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex (PRDC).
PRDC is a syndrome typically affecting 16- to 22-week-old pigs, characterized by slow growth, poor food utilization, anorexia, fever, coughing and dyspnoea [1]. A variety of other respiratory pathogens plays an important role in the development of PRDC like Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Bordetella bronchiseptica, Pasteurella multocida, Streptococcus suis, influenza virus and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) which are also potential pathogens to contribute to PRDC [9].
In Cuba, M. hyopneumoniae circulation has been studied from direct lung exudates and seroprofile studies [10, 11], but no further studies have been carried out regarding the presence of other swine mycoplasmas and bacteria that may be circulating in the island associated to PRDC, hence the objective of the present work was to detect the presence of swine mycoplasmas and bacteria from exudates of pig lungs with typical EP lesions in different regions of the country.
A total of 280 pig lungs with typical EP lesions (35 per province) was processed between October, 2007, (Pinar del Río, Mayabeque and Matanzas provinces) and January, 2008, (Cienfuegos, Villa Clara, Ciego de Avila, Sancti Spiritus and Camagüey). These samples were taken in the regional slaughterhouse La Española and, in all the cases, lungs were transported to MYCOLAB to be immediately processed with the transfer conditions established by biosafety.
Samples were taken in the apical, frontal, medial and diaphragmatic lobules. They were processed as follows. A piece of pulmonary lobule that had been previously introduced into 70 ºC alcohol was flamed and an incision was made using an also flamed scalpel to reach the pulmonary parenchyma with a sterile swab, thus avoiding contamination due to manipulation. Swabs were introduced into Eppendorf tubes containing 250 µL of sterile PBS and centrifuged at 14 000 rpm for 2 min. The liquid obtained was then collected.
DNA was extracted according to Fernández et al. [12]. It was based on sample subjected to a combination of thermal shocks and centrifugation. Strains of M. hyorhinis (ATCC 10130) and M. hyopneumoniae (J, NCTC 10110) were used as positive controls. Oligonucleotide primers (Table) and PCR conditions used specific identification of M. hyorhinis and M. hyopneumoniae, described by Caron et al. [13] and Mattson et al. [14].
The mixture was prepared using the KITPuRetaqTM Ready-To-Go PCR Beads kit, from BIO-RAD; amplification was done in a volume of 25 μL, in each case, 1 μL of each primer, 18 μL of ultra pure water and 5 μL of the problem DNA. For each reaction, DNA from the reference strain was used as the positive control and sterile bidistilled water was used as the negative control. The thermal profile of the reaction for M. hyopneumoniae included an initial step at 95 ºC for 4 min followed by 35 cycles consisting of denaturation step at 95 ºC for 0.75 min, annealing at 59 ºC for 1 min. and extension at 72 ºC for 2 min. A final extension step at 72 ºC for 10 min was also included. In the case of M. hyorhinis, the thermal profile for the reaction included an initial step at 94 ºC for 3 min, followed by 35 cycles consisting of desnaturation step at 94 ºC for 1 min, annealing at 50 ºC for 1 min and extension at 72 ºC for 1.5 min. A final extension step at 72 ºC for 10 min was also included.
All PCR reactions were performed in Mastercycler Gradient thermocycler (Eppendorf). Aliquots of amplified samples (5 µL) were analyzed by electrophoresis 2% in agarose gel. The gel was stained with ethidium bromide (0.5 µg/mL) and photographed under UV illumination.
The samples were cultured bacteriologically on the day they were collected, and a semiquantitative examination for specific colony types was performed. The following media used were: Columbia agar, Columbia agar supplemented with 5 per cent of fibrinated sheep blood and Mac Conkey agar. Bacterial species were differentiated using commercial test kits (Enterotube API kits; bioMérieux).
As a result of the PCR, for detecting M. hyorhinis, the amplification of a 364 bp band was observed in 44.8% of the total of the samples tested, which coincided with that obtained by the positive control (reference strain of M. hyorhinis ATCC 10130). As it can be observed in figure 1, the presence of this species was detected in all the provinces.
As results from PCR for detecting M. hyopneumoniae, an amplification of 649 bp band was observed in 14.29% of all the samples, coinciding with the obtained by positive control (M. hyopneumoniae ATCC 29052 reference strain) (Figure 2). Positive samples were observed in every province: These results confirm the presence of M. hyopneumoniae from lung samples coming from the west and central part of the island.
It must be pointed out that the 19.84% of the samples tested were positive to M. hyorhinis. This percentage coincides with that reported by Assuncao et al. [5] and Palzer et al. [9], who referred M. hyorhinis as the biggest contaminants of M. hyopneumoniae microbial cultures, and also pointed out its high incidence as an agent of EP etiological picture, respectively.
Other specific bacterial agents such as Streptococcus suis type II, Pasteurella multocida, Streptococcus spp. and Streptococcus equisimilis of the lung tissue samples were detected by bacteriological culture. This result is similar to those obtained by Moorkamp et al. [15], who detected respiratory pathogens in porcine lung tissues.
Unfortunately, the frequency distribution of micoplasma bacterial isolates could not be found and the pulmonary volume was not weighed up, they were only samples taken from the affected areas regardless the lesion size and affected lobules. In this sense, studies have been conducted about the characteristics and extension of the lesions, area and more affected lobules, finding out their correlation with the isolate incidence or agent detection [16, 17].
The right lung has been usually more affected than the left one, showing a more abundant bronchogenic distribution [18] with the SEP lesions, varying according to the disease phase and the likely secondary complications at the moment of the inspection [17]. In our case, from the 66% of the samples that resulted positive to M. hyorhinis, the highest percentage (22.77%) corresponded to lesions occurring in the apical lobule, 20.37% in the mediastinal lobule and 17.86% corresponded to lesions in the diaphragmatic lobule.
This result is similar to those obtained by Assuncao et al. [5] who reported the highest number of detection of pathogenic microorganisms being found in the left apical and mediastinal lobules. On the other hand, Moorkamp et al. [15] and Palzer et al. [9] carried out studies on the incidence percentage of pathogenic microorganisms in swine pneumonia and their interrelation with other agents.
These results are a contribution to the knowledge of the enzootic pneumonia and the factors should be kept in mind in future works for the control of this entity. This research sets the basis for more complete studies of EP molecular epidemiology in Cuba.

Summary and Book Reviews
The Queen of Water: Summary and book reviews of The Queen of Water by Laura Resau, Maria Virginia Farinango
This book pulls no punches. It does not sugar-coat María Virginia's experiences as a servant for a middle class mestizo family. She is dealt a cruel hand, and Laura Resau deftly writes about the details of her abuse - both physical and emotional - and her dreams of escaping her situation. Not easy stuff to read. But Laura also lyrically writes about Virginia's courage and determination - to learn to read, to understand science, to leave her abusive situation, to become the person she is meant to become - and the ways in which she slowly achieves these goals. An amazing story. (Reviewed by Tamara Smith). Full Review (1155 words). Media Reviews

Academic LibrarianshipA concentration to prepare students for a career as an information specialist in academic environments (post-12th grade) whether in community and junior colleges, four-year liberal arts colleges or technical institutes, colleges and universities with a few graduate programs, or large-scale public and private research universities. For further details click here. [Top ]
Archives LibrarianshipThe primary task of the archivist is to establish and maintain control, both physical and intellectual, over records of enduring value. Archivists select records, a process that requires an understanding of the historical context in which the records were created, the uses for which they were intended, and their relationships to other sources. For further details click here. [Top ]Information AnalystThe Information Analyst specialization is designed to prepare students to acquire, synthesize, analyze and report information to support decision-makers when embedded into information-rich problem-solving work environments of all types. This specialization offers library generalists, topical/subject specialists and functional specialists the appropriate coursework to help them prepare for upwardly mobile careers as research managers, operations/project coordinators and library managers. For further details click here. [Top ]Law LibrarianshipLaw librarians work in many different settings. They can be found in academic law libraries, in state- and county-level public law libraries, in court houses, government agencies, corporate legal departments, private law firms, and other environments. Their patrons range from the general public, to law students, to attorneys, and possibly judges. For further details click here. [Top ]Public LibrarianshipPublic libraries vary widely in size of community served as well as size of library. Librarians may provide highly specialized assistance to users in large settings with large staffs. In small branch libraries or small city libraries, they may deal with all ages and kinds of patrons, run a bookmobile, or keep in touch with community organizations and schools. For further details click here. [Top ]School LibrarianshipThe Master of Library Science (MLS) with a concentration in School Media is designed to prepare qualified professionals to teach, research, analyze, produce, and supervise the teaching/learning process of a school's library media program. In addition to the ALA-accreditation of the MLS degree, this concentration is approved and registered by the New York State Department of Education for the certification of school library media specialists (K-12). In order to qualify for NYSED certification, students must also satisfy prerequisite coursework in pedagogy as well as the liberal arts and sciences (i.e., general education). Librarians possessing the MLS degree from a ALA-accredited institution who wish to become certified in school media must be accepted into the Advanced Certificate Program and meet all coursework, examination, and fieldwork/internship requirements. For further details click here. [Top ]Special LibrarianshipSpecial librarians are information resource experts dedicated to putting knowledge to work to attain the goals of their organizations. Their position titles are as varied as the environments in which these information professionals are employed. Today's special librarians do far more than locate and collect data for their clients. For further details click here. [Top ]Youth ServicesThe Youth Librarianship specialization is designed to prepare students for positions as children's or YA librarians or library coordinators in public libraries, youth specialists on a regional or state level, or collection development librarians specializing in materials for youth, as well as offer library generalists appropriate coursework to help them prepare for serving a public that includes youth.

text: Most adrenal masses are detected by computed tomography (CT) and occur in up to 2% of patients. 1 The majority of these masses will turn out to be benign, particularly in patients with no history of malignancy (unless there are biochemical features to suggest a hyperfunctioning disease). 2 However, many silent adrenal masses are detected in patients who are being investigated by abdominal CT for malignant disease. The differential diagnosis of an incidentally detected mass in this group of patients is markedly different from that of a patient with no history of malignancy. Up to 35% of patients with a history of malignancy will have adrenal metastases, whether microscopic or macroscopic. 3-6 Conversely, if an adrenal mass is detected by CT in a patient with malignancy, there is approximately a 30 to 40% chance that this harbors metastatic disease. 3,7 Therefore, detection of an adrenal mass in a patient with cancer has major implications for staging and treatment of the primary disease.

I'm planning a road trip with two mates around the Balkans in early September. We've probably got 2 weeks and are keen to take in Bosnia, Montenegro and Albania, but to make the flights work we'll probably arrive in Croatia and leave from Greece. Does anyone have any thoughts on this as a rough itinerary?
Split – Mostar – Kronjic for rafting – Sarajevo – Bjelasnica for hiking – Kotor – Ulcinj – Berat – Butrint – Korfu

Well the itinerary looks great (and made me jealous). Here are some ideas you might not have considered yet…
In Mostar you should consider splashing out on a stay at this place: www.muslibegovichouse.com. I say 'splash out', but really it's a bargain for the chance to spend the night in a national monument! Just outside of Mostar are some fascinating villages: Blagaj, Međugorje and Počitelj, the last of which is also handy for the Kravice Waterfalls.
Should you head out a little early, and you're interested in film, check this out in Sarajevo: www.sff.ba/content.php/en/main. Then there's 'Boka Night' which usually takes place late August in Kotor and sees the bay filled with boats (and the sky with fireworks).
Will you go to the Blue Eye when you're in southern Albania? It's definitely worth making the effort! And for a bit of daytime quiet once you hit Corfu, make for the beaches beyond the hamlets of Spartera and Dhragotina in the south.
