CAMC Finding Aids
Manuscript Collection Guides
Online finding aids represent only a small portion of the entire collection. New finding aids are added as collections are processed.
The College Archivist defines the term manuscript broadly. This is based on Richard Pearce-Moses's definition that "although manuscript literally means handwritten, 'manuscript collection' is often used to include collections of mixed media in which unpublished materials predominate. They may also include typescripts, photographs, diaries, scrapbooks, news clippings, and printed works."
Materials are available for use in the Archives during office hours or by appointment. Please contact the Archives for further information.

Just wondered, what is the difference between a cardinality ratio constraint and a structural constraint?
Is, a cardinality ratio like 1-to-many, 1 to 1 etc..
Structural constraint has (min, max) values? (for each relation?)
e.g. Cardinality Ratio:
Each car must have one registered owner, but an owner can have sevaral cars
e.g. Structural Constraint:
Each employee must work in 1 department, but a department can only have 4 employees
Employee -----------<must work>-------------Department

Days like this are the best.
Twinkling music dancing around my head,
Rain pattering on ground outside.
The cold nipping at my toes,
Sounds of the road in the far off distance.
The perfect shade of gloom overhead,
Turning things blue and grey.
Pen in hand, ideas in mind,
This is my perfect day.

Guatemala (Tier 2 Watch List)
Guatemala is a source, transit, and destination country for Guatemalans and Central Americans trafficked for the purposes of labor and commercial sexual exploitation. Human trafficking is a significant and growing problem in the country. Guatemalans and women and children trafficked through Guatemala from El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua are subject to commercial sexual exploitation in Mexico, Belize, and the United States. In the Mexican border area, Guatemalan children are exploited for forced labor and begging; Guatemalan men and women are exploited for labor in commercial agriculture. Border areas with Mexico and Belize remain a top concern due to the heavy flow of undocumented migrants, many of whom fall victim to traffickers.
The Government of Guatemala does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so. Guatemala is placed on Tier 2 Watch List for its failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to combat trafficking in persons, particularly in terms of convicting and sentencing human traffickers for their crimes. The government demonstrated its commitment to combating human trafficking by sponsoring victim-targeted public awareness campaigns, promoting much-needed penal-code reforms, leading anti-trafficking cooperation with neighboring countries, and fostering anti-trafficking awareness among government officials through an inter-agency working group. However, the government failed to convict and punish trafficking offenders during the year. It should make every effort to carry out the legislative reforms necessary to effectively address trafficking crimes. The government also should consider providing greater legal protections for foreign trafficking victims, and continue work with NGOs and civil society to improve victim services, especially for adults. Providing additional anti-trafficking training for judges and police, and devoting more resources to anti-trafficking police and prosecutors, are additional goals.
Government efforts to punish traffickers dropped precipitously during the reporting period. Thirty-two trafficking-related cases were filed with the Public Ministry; 28 investigations remain open; no convictions were reported. This represents a significant decrease from last year, when 50 prosecutions and 15 convictions were achieved. Prosecutors continue to face problems in court with the application of Guatemala's anti-trafficking laws, which were amended in 2005 to expand the definition of trafficking and allow for 7- to 16-year prison terms. These penalties are sufficiently stringent and commensurate with those for other grave crimes. Many judges threw out charges under the new statute in favor of better-defined and more familiar offenses, which carry far lighter penalties, mostly fines not accompanying prison terms. Efforts to reform the penal code and develop broader anti-trafficking legislation must address these concerns to ensure that traffickers are convicted and serve serious sentences. The government remained an anti-trafficking leader by cooperating and sharing information with neighboring countries, advocating a regional approach for combating trafficking in persons. But credible reports also indicate that some local officials have facilitated acts of human trafficking by compromising police investigations and raids of brothels, accepting bribes, and falsifying identity documents. The government should take additional steps to identify these corrupt officials and punish them.
The government's protection efforts remained inadequate. The government does not offer assistance dedicated to victims of trafficking. Child victims received basic care at seven government-run shelters. The government refers most victims to NGOs for services. Guatemalan authorities encourage victims to assist in the investigation and prosecution of their traffickers. While victims' rights are generally respected, foreign adult victims are not provided legal alternatives to removal to countries in which they face hardship or retribution. Last year, 564 aliens, mostly from Central America, were rescued from brothels but then were deported; many were potential trafficking victims. The government also rescued 300 children, who were transferred to NGOs. Due to resource constraints and the volume of migrants in the country, many aliens are simply left at the border; some are potential trafficking victims who fall back into the hands of their traffickers. No meaningful government mechanism for screening potential trafficking victims exists.
The government took solid steps to prevent trafficking during the reporting period. It launched several nationwide public-awareness campaigns to warn potential victims of the dangers of trafficking, featuring posters, brochures, radio broadcasts, and bus advertising. One campaign targeted the country's southern borders with El Salvador and Honduras. The government also supports scholarship programs to keep poor children in school.

Zajac says he's "all right" to play Saturday after rolling ankle in practice: Brodeur to start again
Devils center Travis Zajac said he expects to play in the team's game Saturday night against Philadelphia though he left today's practice when he rolled his right ankle.
Zajac fell when he was skating slowly along the boards.
"I just caught a little rut and kind of took a little tumble," Zajac said. "I think (leaving practice) was just a precaution. I should be all right for tomorrow."
Zajac seemed more embarrassed than hurt initially after he hurt and some of his teammates actually laughed until they saw he was having trouble getting up. He then put little weight on his right foot as he coasted off the ice and exited to the locker room.
"It was laughable. That's for sure," Zajac said. "But I just kind of rolled my ankle a little. I'll be fine for tomorrow."
Devils coach Pete DeBoer also said he thinks Zajac will be fine to play against the Flyers.
"It was kind of a flukey thing," DeBoer said. "He just rolled it a little bit. I think he'll be fine."
DeBoer said he didn't see Zajac fall down, but the assistant coaches described it to him.
"You're always worried when you see that," DeBoer said. "A high ankle sprain is sometimes worse than a broken bone. Thankfully, it's not. It's lower and those are usually pretty manageable."
Even after the practice, Zajac's teammates didn't seem that concerned about him. Zubrus jokingly complained that he had to elevate a pass over Zajac when he was still down on the ice.
"No concern from Zubie," Zajac said.
Ryan Carter took a shot off his foot during the practice, but remained out there and said he was fine afterward.
"I'm tougher than Trav," he joked.
Zajac did admitted his fall was "strange."
"I think I kept the puck alive, though," he said. "That's the most important thing."
Martin Brodeur will start his third in a row in net Saturday. DeBoer said he'll wait until the morning to decide if Cory Schneider will back up.
"We'll see how he feels," DeBoer said.
Schneider said he had "no issues" again today in his second day back at practice after missing practice with a lower-body injury. He thinks he should be ready to back up Saturday.
"I think so," he said. "No problems, no issues the past two days. I feel good."
Schneider said they had not discussed yet whether he'll start Sunday's game in Minnesota.
"But, assuming everything's good to go, I'd like to be back in there," Schneider said.
When I asked DeBoer if it was possible Brodeur will start both games this weekend he said, "I'm going to take it day to day."
Although it appeared that defenseman Eric Gelinas was struck in the mouth with a puck that deflected off Carter's stick in Thursday's practice, he said it was actually his visor that hit him in the mouth when Steve Bernier shoved his helmet.
After he we struck in the chin with a shot in an AHL preseason game last year against Binghamton, Gelinas needed surgery to repair a broken lower jaw and have some of his displaced teeth moved back to their proper spots. Gelinas said his teeth still feel "a little weird" now, so that was part of the reason he was stunned a little Thursday. But he said his mouth felt fine today.
The Devils have won their last two games and are 3-1-1 in their last five. They'll be looking to continue that upward trend Saturday after having three consecutive days without a game.
"Just to keep building on what's working for us and that's our team play, our identity, our buy-in from everybody in all three zones," DeBoer said. "I think we're improving. Our forecheck's been much better the last two or three games, (also) our neutral zone play. Defensive zone coverage has always been pretty good, but just continue to get at those things and make it so that it's second nature. I think that's the key to the whole thing, so you're moving around on the ice without thinking."
DeBoer is seeing that more from the new players over the last few games.
"I am starting to see that a little bit more, for sure," he said. "Obviously, in practice, but even in the games and re-watching the games I think it's starting to become second nature and I think that's a good sign. … For me, I'm very confident if we can play the way we're capable of with the identity we want to play with on a nightly basis, you're not going to win every night, but I think we'll win a lot more than we lose."
The Flyers are 3-8-0 and in last place in the Metropolitan Division heading into their game tonight at home against Washington. Still, they are one of the teams the Devils (3-5-4) will have to beat out to make the playoffs.
"These are four-point games," DeBoer said. "I don't think there's any doubt about that. You look at the standings and it's a division game. With realignment, those top three spots in the division are obviously critical. These are games, I don't think it's too early to start talking about that."
The Devils went 4-0-1 against the Flyers last season with the only blemish being a 2-1 shootout loss on March 15 in Philadelphia. Dating back to the 2012 Eastern Conference semifinals, the Devil are 8-0-1 in their last nine against the Flyers.
The Flyers already fired head coach Peter Laviolette just three games into the season, replacing him with Craig Berube.
"You throw out last or the year before," DeBoer said. "Those stats mean nothing to me. We've got a different team, totally. They've got a different team, different coach. Philly is never an easy team to play against, so we've go to be ready."
DeBoer said there are some noticeable changes the Flyers have made systemically since Berube took over.
"They made some changes to some of their systems," DeBoer said. "You can see some of the little things they're trying to do. Nothing earth shattering, but there's definitely some tweaks that they've made."
The Flyers just made a trade Thursday, sending Maxime Talbot to Colorado for Steve Downie, who DeBoer coached in junior with Kitchener.
"Talbot and him are similar players," DeBoer said. "I coached Steve Downie in junior. He's a valuable player. He does a little bit of everything. He can beat you with skill. He can also beat you in the alley, so to speak. So, he's a good pick-up for them."

Every fall, as the threat of frost looms over our gardens, planting bulbs provides gardeners with one last chance at digging in our plots. However the selection available in stores and bulb catalogues can be overwhelming, not to mention what do you do with them once you get them home? When I grabbed a bag of 'Purple Princes' and 'Pink Emperors' on a whim, I thought I'd add a dash of colour to my spring garden. I spaced them out as per the package and waited patiently for them to bloom in a sparse little row. Then I went to the Keukenhof in Holland, the bulb capital of the world, and my idea of how to plant bulbs was altered forever. There are so many possibilities that never again will I embarrass my garden with a paltry little row.
Here are some tips I tucked away from my visit to the most popular bulb garden in the world.
Create waves of colour
Colour blocking may currently be a hot fashion trend, but it's timeless in the garden. Experiment with straight lines or waves of colour. Use string to block out where you need to plant and to keep lines straight.

Memory & Cognition, 35(7), 161 -9.Norton, D., McBain, R., & Chen, Y. This is explained by several hypotheses. (2 6). Encoding and retrieval processes are involved with long-term memoryand this affects face recognition. Face Recognition Introduction This is research paper addresses the topic of face recognition. (2 9). D. This may be due to the notion that it is important to be able torecognize a threatening expression for survival, which would involve theability to encode and react to this facial expression. A negative emotion is shown to involve the right-hemisphere and positive emotions involve the left-hemisphere, which affectsoutcomes. Face familiarity isinvolved in the early stage and at this level the face is recognized asfamiliar without specifics recalled. Conclusions In conclusion, there are multiple processes and brain areas involvedwith face recognition, identification, and classification. (2 7). stated that visualsensitivity is decreased with age which affects face recognition butsensory and cognitive mechanisms involved are not understood. Boutet and Faubert (2 6) stated that encoding mechanisms to includefactors such ads reduced contrast sensitivity and reduced ability to form adistinctive representation of a face may also affect outcomes. Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 13(2), 217-222. These authors found that surprise,happy, fear, and anger-happy expressions were remembered best. Recognition without face identification. 161 ). Boutet andFaubert stated that there are multiple hypotheses related to why facerecognition declines with age. Misidentification and self-recognition may occurwhen a person views a face as familiar in early processing stages whichresults in related semantic information about the person. Age-related declines in recognition memorydue to changes in memory mechanisms lead to this decline in facerecognition ability. Abrief literature review concerning face recognition, analyzes the cognitiveprocesses involved with face recognition. At another level of recognition,semantic information associated with the face may be retrieved without aname. G., & Bennett, H. The interactive activation and competition(IAC) model is used to explain findings that different types of informationare available to a person at different points in time which affects thedaily experiences involved in face recognition. Some faces or facialexpressions are recognized, identified, and classified based on differentfactors. A person may perceive a similarity of oneface based on self-recognition or other sensory misinformation and thisleads to a false identification of the face. Emotions areinvolved in the activation of the brain area and the recognition of a faceor facial expression and this process is explained by the survivalinstinct. Clearyand Specker (2 7) reported that recognition without identification isfound in face recognition. A decline in visual sensitivity withlosses at each stage of the process leads to the decreased ability forrecognition, but these effects are not clearly understood. A person's name is more difficult to retrieve than generalsemantic information. Losses of information at eachstep of the process and deficits at the stages of face recognitionprocesses are found and age is related to an increased need for cognitiveresources for complex tasks with higher activation of prefrontal areas.Boutet and Faubert examined these hypotheses and found that older adultshave problems with encoding related to processing holistic information andsecond-order relations and they had more trouble recognizing faces thanother objects. (2 6). This is followed by conclusions. Shimamura, Ross,and Bennett conducted three experiments with students to explore theprocesses involved in face recognition. Face recognition involves the temporal-occipitalregions of the brain and encoding of facial expressions involves otherareas such as the cingulated gyrus, insula, amygdale, and prefrontalregions (Shimamura, Ross, & Bennett, 2 6). P., Ross, J. Memory & Cognition, 34(4), 854-64.Cleary, A., & Specker, L. Encodingand retrieval mechanism interactions are involved in face recognition andthese are affected by the aging process. ReferencesBoutet, I., & Faubert, J. For example, the encoding of facial expressions can bedissociated from the encoding of the identity of the face and emotionsaffect this process. Age results in a decline in ability torecognize faces. Reduced ability to detect facial configuration in Middle-aged and elderly individuals: Associations with spatiotemporal visual processing. Memory for facial expressions: The power of a smile. Norton et al. The Journals of Gerontology: Series B Psychological sciences and social sciences, 64B(3), 328-34.Shimamura, A. It is possible for recognition to take place withoutidentification or classification. Declines inencoding and retrieval processes involved with long-term memory affectsface recognition in the elderly. The roles of concepts and categories in face recognition,identification, and classification are involved in this process. At any age aperson may make an error in face recognition such as the misidentificationof a face or self-recognition. Norton, McBrain, and Chen (2 9) andBoutet and Faubert (2 6) reported that age-associated impairments arefound with regard to face recognition. There are processes associated with face recognition, identification,and classification. Deficits in recollection of contextual information,impaired memory for new visuospatial information, and problems matchingwith memory explain these outcomes. There are errors that can occur with face recognition such asmisidentification and self-recognition. The roles of concepts and categories involved in facerecognition, identification, and classification are multiple andinteractive. Cleary and Specker (2 7) statedthat it is common for a person to be able to retrieve semantic informationabout someone without being able to retrieve a name, but the reverse isless true.

It's hard to say whether there's a direct link between the strong surge in April car sales and the four-year high the Dow Jones industrial average is on track to set today, but both are clearly delivering a dose of much-needed news about an uncertain economic recovery.
With the last few automakers finally reporting, the industry appeared to continue gaining momentum despite worries about fuel prices and other economic issues. General Motors boosted its forecast for all of 2012 by a full 500,000 vehicles, to somewhere between 14 million and 14.5 million.
That's despite the fact that both GM and Ford posted modest declines for April -- as did Asian rival Nissan -- but the slowdown in sales that some feared after the unusual warm winter clearly didn't materialize. And a number of makers, including Audi and Volkswagen, are today bragging about setting records. VW sales were their best in 40 years, Audi their best ever for the month.
"It's good to see the market is still growing," said David Sullivan, an auto analyst with AutoPacific, Inc. What surprised Sullivan -- and many other analysts -- was the fact that while demand was up for small, high-mileage vehicles, American motorists also plunked their money down on many of the bigger pickups that were supposedly going out of style.
Nissan, for example, set new April sales records for both its small Rogue crossover and subcompact Versa models. But demand, the maker said, was also up for the full-size Titan pickup as well as the big Quest minivan.
Also noteworthy was the fact that the industry, on the whole, maintained its momentum without having to ramp up incentives. Quite the contrary. OVerall, manufacturers trimmed rebates and other givebacks by an average 4.7 percent compared to March of this year, or about $120 a vehicle -- with the average car, truck or crossover sold in April 2012 carrying incentives of $2,446, according to data collected by research firm TrueCar.com.
There were a few exceptions, notably Honda ramped up spending by 8 percent for the month, to $2,398 per vehicle, while Toyota increased its givebacks 4.4 percent, to $1,823, said TrueCar.
"Incentives continued to decline for most automakers with the exception of Honda and Toyota as both are vying for recapturing their lost market share from last year," said Jesse Toprak, TrueCar's director of industry trends and insights. "Ford is now spending less on incentives as a percentage of their average transaction price then Honda."
The spending did appear to pay off, however, with Toyota sales increasing 11.6 percent for the month while Honda's rose 9.2 percent to April 2011. The incentives helped the smaller maker breathe some life back into its fading Accord line. Long one of the nation's top-sellers, that midsized sedan took an embarrassing slip in recent months, falling behind the Nissan Altima. Accord was up 41 percent for the month, handily outpacing the Altima.
But Nissan's April slowdown reflects, in part, the fact that it trimmed back production of its midsize model in preparation for the launch of an all-new Altima next month. And CEO Carlos Ghosn has boldly declared his belief that the next-generation sedan will be able to overtake both Accord and the long-dominant Toyota Camry.
Nissan's Infiniti division was in the black for April, buoyed by demand for its new three-row JX crossover. Company officials recently predicted that they're on track to hit 200,000 units in annual sales in the next several years -- which would move the long-lagging luxury brand into the upper tier of upscale marques.
The initial success of the big JX -- as well as Nissan's other large trucks and crossovers was matched by strong demand for some of the bigger models in the Chrysler corporate portfolio, especially the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Chrysler posted a 20 percent overall jump in April, with all of its brands exceeding the industry average sales increase. The Fiat brand surged 336 percent after a painfully slow launch of the little Fiat 500. It was, in fact, the 25th consecutive month of sales gains for Chrysler and the 14th month in a row when the maker beat the industry average increase.
"Chrysler continues to surprise on the upside every month now," said analyst Joe Phillippi, of AutoTrends Consulting. "The new products, the Grand Cherokee, the 300 and even the 200 are doing well."
Like other analysts, Phillippi suggested the Detroit maker has been countering its long-time reputation for poor quality with new vehicles that are "really well screwed together."
That was echoed by Reid Bigland, president and CEO of the Dodge brand and Chrysler's head of U.S. sales.
"This business is all about product," he said, "and the quality and fuel efficiency of our current vehicle line-up has never been better which is evident in our results."
The April numbers are particularly impressing analysts because they are less dependent both on incentives and on fleet sales, a traditional dumping ground for manufacturers desperate to keep their factories humming. Lower fleet business was the primary reason behind the modest decline at General Motors -- where retail sales ran roughly flat with April 2011 -- and at Ford.
But the latter maker could crow about the strong demand for its higher-mileage models, including both the Edge crossover and midsize Fusion, both setting April sales records. On the high end, buyers yet again bought more full-size F-Series pickups with V-6 engines rather than the traditional big-truck V-8s.
Can the market maintain its momentum? Analyst Phillippi is upbeat, at least for the near-term, suggesting that even the modest U.S. economic recovery is sending buyers back to showrooms. That's particularly true for products like the F-Series and Nissan Titan.
"There are a lot of people who need work vehicles, especially to replace the ones they've been hanging onto" during the recession, said Phillippi. "A lot of those trucks are just wearing out."
GM raised its forecast for the year to somewhere between 14 million and 14.5 million, which could mean a year-over-year jump of about 1.5 million units compared to all of 2011.
"We expect gradual improvement in the economy going forward," said Don Johnson, vice president, U.S. Sales Operations. "Over time, strength in the manufacturing sector and strong retail sales will lead to more job creation. That will help more consumers put the recession behind them, gain even more confidence and drive vehicle sales higher for both the industry and GM."

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
Hi, My name is XXXXX XXXXX my goal is to provide you with Excellent Service,
I am sorry you are encountering this difficulty in moving into the apartment,
The tenant's obligation to pay rent is contingent on the landlord delivering possession of a complete apartment to the tenant. If work was to be done in the apartment, but was not completed by the date on which the tenant was to move in, tenant does not have the legal obligation to pay rent. If the work to be done does not appear that it will be completed within the next few days, you may also have the right to notify the landlord that he is in breach of the lease Agreement and that you have chosen to move elsewhere,
If I have not Answered your question ompletely, please use the "Reply" button to let me know and I will be glad to explain further,
Please be kind enough to rate Excellent Service" so that I receive credit for assisting you,
Bonus and Positive Feedback on survey is very much appreciated,
Well i still want the apartment the thing is i paid the rent already for july 1st on june 28th because they said it will be ready by the first.. i only moved a few boxes in because they told me i could do so and had the apartment painted because it was needed.. but i have no moved any furniture or anything in. If i move in on the 10th will my rent be due on the 10th of each month regardless of what the lease states?
Thank you for your follow up question and the opportunity to explain further,
Your rent will still be due on the first of the month, if that is what your lease says. However, you should give written notice to the landlord that because the work they are doing poses a hazard, you cannot move in until that work is completed and you are, therefore, requesting a credit for the number of days in July that you were unable to have full use of the apartment and that you wish to deduct this credit for the rent that is due and payable on August 1,
does this have to be a notarized letter?
The letter does not have to be Notarized, but I would send the original by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, and send a copy by ordinary mail. Be sure you keep a copy for your records. If you do not hear back from the landlord, write a cover letter with your rent for August and tell the landlord that you sent him a letter on July ____, 2013 requesting a credit for the number of days that you did not have full use of the apartment. Enclose a copy of the letter in July just to refresh his memory,
what if the landlord agrees the rent can be paid on the 8th of each month but it is not changed on the lease is that acceptable?
Any change in the lease should be in writing because if you have no proof that the lease was amended, making rent due on the 8th or any day, other than the first day of each month as stated in the lease, the landlord can charge you a late fee and you will have no proof that he changed the due date of the lease.
Besides, every lease has a clause that states that any amendment, change, or modification of the lease is not valid unless it is in writing,

Keep your questions to 40 words or less. Except in unusual
circumstances, longer questions will be trimmed or will not be
You must include an identifier and where you live
with your question (bonus points if you include your age and
demographic background). Y? prefers your full name; however, the
forum understands that some people might be uncomfortable having
their names attached to an "embarrassing" or sensitive question. To
accommodate that concern, Y? will, upon your request, list only your
first initial and last name (or first name and last initial) with
your question. Just let Y? know in your submission. As a last resort,
Y? will accept your initials only, or a nickname, as long as you
include your city as well. This is needed so that others can refer to
you as they answer your question or add to your comments.
Be specific. For example, rather than "Are older people
afraid of younger people?" you might ask "Why does it seem like more
older people are moving into their own separate communities these
days? Are they nervous about being mugged?"
Avoid putting an "assumed truth" into your question. For
example, better to ask "Is it true that white men can't jump as high
as black men?" than "Why can't white men jump?" The latter makes an
assumption; the former seeks to clarify or gather information.
When asking a question, always frame it in such a way that
it is being asked not of "the powers that be," but of a person from a
background different from yours. A good way to think of this is, "How
would I ask this question if a person of this background were sitting
across from me, and I felt comfortable enough to ask it of them?" The
reason for this is simple: Y? is trying to foster a direct exchange
of information between real people, as opposed to information that is
filtered through traditional sources such as the media, spokespeople
for causes and academicians. This does not mean, however, that Y?
will not consider comments from these sources, as appropriate.
Please don't try to make a political or moral statement
with your question. Just ask what you would like to know. If you have
come to this site, Y?'s assumption is that you are interested in an
exchange of information that is as free of bias and preconceived
notions as possible. That is, quite frankly, the entire point of this
Don't bait or ask mean-spirited questions. A good rule of
thumb: If you're curious, ask. If you already feel you know the
answer to your own question or are trying to "make a point," don't.
The purpose here is to exchange ideas and promote dialogue.
Take your time and be thoughtful in the wording you choose
for your question. Always err on the side of being as inoffensive as
possible in how you phrase a posting. Y? wants your questions;
however, there are ways to seek answers that are less incendiary than
Direct your questions to people from a demographic group
that is different from your own. That is, if you're gay, avoid
asking a question about gays (answer one instead!). Or if you're
male, avoid asking a question about males. Again, the purpose is to
get people who are different from one another asking and answering
IMPORTANT: Y? reserves the right to edit
questions and answers for space and readability, and to paraphase
questions or answers to render them suitable for general viewing.
Before deciding to take part, be advised that if you post a question
or answer that contains hostile language, assumed truths or
preconceived notions, it will very likely either not be posted, or it
will be edited to meet the non-confrontational standards set up by
this project.
That's it. Now, to ask your question...

Florida launched an online resource center for identity theft victims to obtain information and assistance.

University of Hawaii (UH) scientists intend to chart the world's coral reefs by including a camera on the International Space Station by December 2004. Of the world's 500,000 square kilometers of reefs, only 10-20 square kilometers have been studied in detail. UH plans to build another infrared camera to monitor Earth's natural hazards like fires and volcanos. -- Honolulu Star-Bulletin
An attempt to grow corn in orange and blue, the University of Illinois' school colors, failed, but prompted researchers to help develop corn hybrids with higher levels of vitamin A.

Oregon State University plans to use a $1.7 million grant from the National Science Foundation to create an artificial intelligence system that identifies insects. The system will collect, manipulate, photograph and identify small insects quickly, accurately and in large numbers. The data could improve water quality monitoring and other environmental issues. A square meter of Oregon soil can contain up to 300,000 insects and 200 species.
A new Rhode Island bill allows organ donors to register online through the Division of Motor Vehicles.

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory opened a science center in Green Bank, W. Va. The 25,000 square foot facility features the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope -- the largest fully steerable radio telescope in the world and most massive moving structure on land.
Washington state investigators used sonar to map the path of a planned floating bridge on Lake Washington and found three submerged vessels. Two are barges, and officials think the other is a whaling vessel, the Fresno. Originally built in 1874, the boat caught fire in 1923 and was intentionally sunk in 190 feet of water. The state ordered the investigations to determine if anything historically important or environmentally dangerous blocked bridge construction. -- King County Journal

A: We recommend that all cancer survivors eat a plant-based diet. This means choosing healthy, minimally processed foods high in plant products, including:
It is also important to maintain adequate hydration with water and natural fruit juices. In general, we also recommend a standard multivitamin (without iron).
With pancreatic cancers, blood sugar control might be affected. Choosing plant-based sources of carbohydrates, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains is preferred over foods that include high-fructose corn syrup or a significant amount of table sugar. Eating smaller meals, more frequently during the day, is another important strategy. Be sure to include a protein source with all of your meals and snacks to help blood sugar control and boost energy levels. Good sources of protein include beans, fish, nuts, and eggs.
We encourage you to meet with a registered dietitian or other qualified nutrition professional in your area to help provide more individualized recommendations.

Fantastic. I did not want to like this trilogy as much as I do, because--to be honest--vivisection is just not really something I am into. But, Juliet! The main character and plot driver (mostly girl, a bit of deer) is lovely, and strong, and smart. So many things that other turn-of-the-previous-century girls were not. And she is in love, but in an honest, confused sort of way that does not detract from the fact that she is also a scientist with a "dark curiosity" about creating unnatural or artificial life. She is also a murderess, a confidant, and a stunning beauty. I am enthralled.
Whereas the first book of The Madman's Daughter trilogy was based on Wells' The Island of Dr Moreau, this sequel is based on Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Taking place in London a year after Juliet's pained departure from her father's forgotten island, this book opens with the murders of all those who had wronged Juliet in the past. And the murders are being committed identically, with a trademark style that closely resembles that of a murdering beast Juliet thought she had left for dead on the island.
As she traces the trail of this killer--who seems to want her to find him--she also frantically searches for a cure for herself. The serum her father had developed to keep her condition at bay is failing, and Juliet's time of being fully human is limited unless she can concoct a remedy. Add to this an elite and secret group desperately trying to find her father's work on artificial life, and the result is a compelling read that is nearly impossible to put down. This reader is now anxiously awaiting the conclusion of The Madman's Daughter trilogy!

Nexstar goto mount slew speed
Posted 10 December 2013 - 01:21 AM
I have a Nexstar SLT scope. I found the slew speed doesn't work below speed of 7. Although the alignment can still work if I change the slew speed manually, I wonder if there is a solution to this? I use rechargeable NiMH batteries. The default slew speed only work once(when I first test the scope) and for some strange reasons; it never work afterward. That's already out of warranty period.
Thanks all.

Welcome to CN and to this particular Celestron forum ! :bow:
As Stan has informed and emphasised, it's imperative to have a good power supply available to these 'scopes as low voltage can produce all manner of inconsistent problems.
Regarding the slew speed or rate, you don't say specifically which SLT you have, but to my recollection, (based on the Schmidt-Cassegrain 'scopes of this series, e.g. the 4SE (Mak), 5SE, 6SE and 8SE, SCTs), when performing an Auto Two Star Align*, the 'scope will slew at Rate 9 to the appointed second star. It will then reduce this rate automatically to an arbitrary choice (?) of Rate 6.
However, Rate 6 being too fast for most operators to centre any alignment star/object in the eyepiece, one needs to manually adjust the slew rate to a more manageable, rate of, say 2, 3 or 4 depending on preference.
Additionally, once aligned successfully, I believe the same pattern is followed when slewing to celestial objects of your choice, in so much as the initial slew to the object is made at Rate 9 with Rate 6 being adopted after arrival at the object, but thereafter, should any centring of the object in the eyepiece be deemed necessary, the operator adjusts the rate manually to one, (i.e. Slew Rate 2,3,or 4), whichever is comfortable.
* Note : Other alignment options all require entirely manual slewing. However, the Slew Rate will in this instance still be automatically set initially to Rate 9 in order to minimise the time it takes for the 'scope to traverse the sky to the chosen alignment object. On arrival, I believe in this instance, that the Rate does not diminish to 6 but requires the operator to manually adjust for final alignment/viewing comfort.
Hoping I've not misinformed from mere recollection !
Best regards,
Posted 10 December 2013 - 11:47 AM
Thanks a lot for your informative answers, and I appreciate Tel's kind welcome. I am surprised this forum is full of knowledgeable people willing to help newbies like me. It's a privilege to be here.
Currently my slew speed 9 is actually just barely acceptable. At slew speed 7, its movement is barely noticeable. So it can be an issue with the low voltage. But I am a little afraid it might be the drive itself because I remember I used Alkaline battery once and it feel just the same. I will try it with Alkaline again and see if the drive come back to life.
Posted 10 December 2013 - 01:39 PM
I simply attach the pack to the upright arm of my SE mount so cord wrap is not an issue.
last for about 4 hours and dirt cheap to run.
Posted 10 December 2013 - 02:51 PM
I used 8 NiZn AA batteries that were rated at 1.5v and 2500 mAh. each. 8 of them would give me 2½ to 3 hours of power, but they just wouldn't hold up to the constant Charge/Discharge that I was putting them through. Just have to wait for the technology to catch up. They weren't that expensive, but they weren't that cheap either. I like the 10 pack idea much better.
Posted 10 December 2013 - 03:29 PM
Whatever your thoughts and suspicions, I would at least be inclined to insert a fresh set of 8 non-rechargeable, 1.5V AA batteries into your mount's container and recheck the slew rates.
If these are not improved significantly over that which you are currently experiencing, then yes, suspect something more serious.
If though the slew rates on both axes are much improved, it still pays to remember that AA batteries are very limited in their power output versus operational time and as mentioned by both Stan and Kon Dealer, a more reliable and longer lasting source of energy to power your 'scope is thus highly desirable.
Best regards,
Posted 10 December 2013 - 06:16 PM
Can't happen much because they are still going strong after 13 months.
Posted 11 December 2013 - 12:06 PM
You are right I should test it with Alkaline before voice my concerns. I just put a fresh set of Energizer to test. The good news is there is finally movement at rate 6, albeit very slowly. So there is improvement. Rate 9 also appears to be slightly faster. The bad news is, it still doesn't move at rate 5 and below. I will go star test when the sky is clear in my area to see if it improves the experience with alignment and tracking.
One other good news is I finally figure out the right battery and cable orientation to shut the battery cover completely. I always had the problem before.
I wonder if someone else had the same problem as me about the drive and any other way to improve it.
Best Regards.
Posted 11 December 2013 - 03:18 PM
The slew rate for the SLT series appears, according to the manual, to be 4 degrees/sec. at Rate 9. In theory therefore, (and you can check this out): one full rotation in azimuth of your mount at Rate 9 should take 90 seconds.
Equally so, setting the 'scope to the horizontal and moving it to the perpendicular in altitude, should take 22.5 secs.
Note though that the given figures may not be correct/accurate.
For example, I have just checked out my own Nexstar 8i's slew rate 9 and found it to be 7 degrees/sec. in azimuth and not the specified, book, (manual), value of 6 degrees/sec.
By the same token, it only takes 10 seconds to move the mount arm from the horizontal to the vertical which gives a corresponding rate of 9 degree/sec.
Given the real possibility of anomalies, it would nevertheless be interesting to see how your SLT performs under the same tests.
Coming then to the subject of your Rate 6 and lower slew rates, Rate 6 will give an almost imperceptible movement of 0.5 degrees/sec. (in theory), when viewed from the outside of the 'scope. You will however be able to feel the movement with your hand.
But overall, are you sure your 'scope is not moving at the lower slew rates?
Have you tried setting it up in daylight, focusing it on a terrestrial object and then testing the low slew rates or, alternatively, without using an eyepiece, placing your hand on the tube while operating the directional buttons at these lower slew rates ?
Does this make any sense ? Perhaps you have already conducted such or similar tests ?
Best regards,
Posted 12 December 2013 - 11:26 AM
Thanks a lot for the great tips for measuring the drive speed.
It took 125 seconds to go one full rotation in azimuth in Rate 9. Horizontal to vertical altitude took 30 seconds. So it's a bit off, doing about 3 degree/sec. Looking through the tube without eyepiece, I can see movements at Rate 5. Although there is drive sound at Rate 4, but there is no movement after pressing direction button for over one minute.
These don't really bother me as long as the drive track the Earth rotation correctly. I guess I will find out after clear sky for field testing.
Posted 12 December 2013 - 12:10 PM
It's just possible that we're getting somewhere as a result of your testing.
You didn't say at any time which SLT you own. Accordingly; the single manual, covering the SLT Nexstar 60,80,102,114 and 130, states that the slew rate at maximum, (i.e. Slew Rate 9) is 4 degrees/sec. However, if you own a Nexstar 90 (Mak) or 127 (Mak), their specific manual refers to a maximum slew rate of 3 degrees/sec.
This is in fact what you have measured on both axes of your 'scope. Could you therefore advise as to which 'scope you are indeed operating ?
Best regards,
Posted 12 December 2013 - 01:23 PM
I have a 102slt, so it is supposed to be 4 degree/sec.
Posted 13 December 2013 - 05:02 AM
In theory, yes, but as I said above, my Nexstar 8i slew rates are not in keeping with its specification. Who knows, with the apparent availability of at least two drive motors, (one operating at 4 degs./sec., the other at 3 degs./sec.), which one may find itself in which mount ?
Given though, the impression that you are essentially trying to detect movement from the outside of your 'scope rather than look through it, if this is the case, I think a more definitive assessment is necessary.
If you have not already done so therefore, I would suggest you merely focus on a distant terrestrial object using the highest magnification EP you have available to you and then check each slew rate from say, 1-6 for movement. Above this, (i.e. 7-9), I gather you have basically detected movement already by simple, external observation.
Best regards,
Posted 13 December 2013 - 09:35 AM
Many thanks for your advice. Actually, I detect the movement by looking through the telescope tube without eyepiece just as you suggested. There is no movement at rate 4 and below despite there is motor sound after press and hold one drive direction button for well over 2 minutes. I think somehow this particular motor of mine requires higher voltage than what the alkaline batteries provide.
It seems we can't get any clear sky in my location here for another week or so. When sky is clear, I will take it out for field test. Hopefully, the tracking can work correctly.
Sorry for taking so much of everyone's time. My lesson is that power tank is necessary. Also when you purchase a computerize telescope, it is recommended to test the drive speed at different settings according to the testing procedure provided by Tel. So you can get warranty service if something is not working properly.
Finally, despite of the little glitch, I still highly recommend the Nexstar series. The optical quality is superb and features are great for its price.
Clear Sky.
Posted 13 December 2013 - 10:08 AM
I detect the movement by looking through the telescope tube without eyepiece just as you suggested.
That doesn't quite seem like what was suggested:
Have you tried setting it up in daylight, focusing it on a terrestrial object and then testing the low slew rates or, alternatively, without using an eyepiece, placing your hand on the tube while operating the directional buttons at these lower slew rates ?
Tell suggests one of the following two:
1) Focus on a terrestrial object during the day (focusing requires an eyepiece)
- or -
2) Use your hand to detect the movement (does not require an eyepiece)
Looking through the scope *without* an eyepiece won't really help you detect movement.
If you say you hear the motor running but don't see any movement, seems to me that either it's moving very slowly and you can't see it, or it may be taking up the backlash in the gears and you need to set the anti-backlash settings in your handset menus.
Try Tel's suggestion again - look through the scope during the daytime *with* an eyepiece, focus on a distant target, and see if you detect the scope moving. You may have to wait a while after hitting the button (up to 30 seconds in some cases) before the scope starts to move. The longer you have to wait, the more backlash there is. If you notice a lot of backlash, you may want to set the anti-backlash settings to compensate.
Posted 22 December 2013 - 10:28 AM
There are anti-backlash adjustments for positive and negative altitude and azimuth. I think the default settings are all zero. I tried to change some settings but the rain started again before long. So I have to wait for next rain break. I might try to set all values to 20 next time to check.
I am glad my drive is working properly. Perhaps get the right anti-backlash settings will get my drive to move faster. I will try and report back next.
On a side note, ever since I join Cloudynights recently, it has been cloudy nights every day in my area. .....
Thanks all for the help.
Posted 22 December 2013 - 01:21 PM
Not sure where you're located, but it seems like I've been sharing your weather! It's been since before Thanksgiving that I've had a view of the sky. This seems to happen every year around here. From November through January (sometimes even February) is a complete shutout. Very frustrating!
For your backlash adjustment, go outside when the weather permits during the day for testing. You'll need to do a mock alignment because backlash behaves different before and after alignment. Select the Auto two star alignment, use Polaris for you first star, and aim the scope North and upward at an angle that is approximately your latitude. Then accept whatever second star comes up on the menu, and accept the position that it slews to.
Now you can adjust for backlash. Move the scope by alternating between the left and right with the arrow keys at a speed of about 4. You want to set the azimuth backlash settings so that the scope stops immediately when you release the button, but minimize the startup delay when you press the button. Stopping is the most important part. If you end up with a delay of several seconds at startup to allow for an immediate stop, that's ok.
Do the same for the altitude axis. When you're done, you'll probably have the same number for the positive and negative setting for a given axis.
The other thing that's important for getting the scope moving correctly after a slew is to use the correct final approach movements, both when centering your alignment stars and when moving to an object with the arrow keys. You always want to move in the same final direction so that you take up any remaining slack in the gears.
Posted 22 December 2013 - 01:54 PM
Posted 01 January 2014 - 02:51 AM
We got a clear break today so I took the scope out for setting adjustments. After follow your instructions, the tracking and goto worked correctly. Although the slew speed is still around 3 degree/s, but it doesn't bother me. Many thanks to you and Tel.
One interesting thing I noticed is that while there is an option for "Betelguese" during 2-star alignment. There is no Betelguese as option for Named Star or Tour for GOTO function. But Rigel is there. I have to entered "Sao 113271" for the Goto to get to Betelguese. Maybe it's time for me to upgrade the controller firmware.
Although the sky is clear, but the seeing condition is bad. Must be some haze or turbulence up high in the sky. Even Betelguese doesn't appear bright and M42 shows no nebulosity. I hope for better conditions in the new year.
-Clear Sky.
Posted 01 January 2014 - 05:11 AM
Hmmm ? I can't, off hand, think of any good reason at all why you couldn't access Betelguese directly and only via its SAO number if it were visible at the time in your sky, but I don't believe a firmware upgrade will solve the problem.
All I can think of at this moment therefore, is to check both your 'scope's "Slew Limits" and "Filter Limits" and let us know the settings.
Assuming the above settings to be Slew Alt. 90 max./ 0 min., and (Filter) List Alt. the same: additionally, you might care to firmly establish your original findings by performing a mock (indoor simulated) alignment: entering last night's alignment time and date and then varying the time by, say, a couple of hours either side to see whether the "Named Star" feature eventually "logs" Betelgeuse. (?)
Best thoughts to date. Sorry if they are inadequate !
Best regards,
Posted 01 January 2014 - 08:42 AM
Glad you got the tracking and gotos working to your satisfaction!
For Betelgeuse, I agree with Tel. A firmware update probably won't help, and the only things I can think of are also the Slew and Filter limits.
Posted 03 January 2014 - 11:57 AM
My default slew and filter limit was from 0 to 65 degree. Since Betelguese was near the zenith, no wonder it doesn't show on the list. After I change it to 80 degree, it shows up on the Named Star list. Thanks a lot for the help.

Palm Beach County Resident Convicted for Receipt, Distribution, and Possession of Child Pornography
|U.S. Attorney's Office October 18, 2013
Wifredo A. Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and Michael B. Steinbach, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Miami Field Office, announce that Hernandez Banks, 23, of Palm Beach, was convicted yesterday on all three counts of receipt, distribution, and possession of child pornography, after a six-day trial before U.S. District Judge Kenneth A. Marra.
This case stemmed from an undercover investigation into child pornography distributers who use LimeWire, a peer-to-peer software application. In August 2011, FBI-Houston conducted and undercover investigation that identified Banks transmitting child pornography from his West Palm Beach home using LimeWire. The FBI-West Palm Beach seized two computers from Banks' home. The FBI analyzed the computers at their laboratory and discovered over 100 videos and images of child pornography.
Banks faces a mandatory minimum term of five years and up to a maximum term of 20 years in prison on the receipt and distribution counts. Banks faces a maximum term of 10 years in prison on the possession count. Sentencing is scheduled for January 27, 2014, before U.S. District Judge Kenneth A. Marra in West Palm Beach, Florida.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Project Safe Childhood was launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice and is led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS). Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.justice.gov/psc.
Mr. Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of the FBI. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lothrop Morris.

Some 200 participants of Birthright Israel's summer trips meet CEOs of leading high-tech companies to learn about global impact of Israeli business
Published: 06.23.11, 08:07 / Israel Business
"Taglit-Birthright Israel is all about developing in our participants a similar sense of pride in Israel and a connection with the country, not just through a shared history and culture, but by showing that Israel is a dynamic, exciting and relevant place in their lives. Meeting these captains of Israeli industry is a powerful way of achieving this."
At SAP Labs, Mickey Steiner described why innovation is a necessity. "Israel has a lack of natural resources and a need for defense, which are the roots of our high-tech industry." He said that the IDF is an important element in developing innovation, a "can-do" attitude and a dynamic culture of adaptability to new conditions.
Similarly, Zeevi Bregman and Shai Levy supported this view, adding that the army is a special learning environment that breeds good decision-making and leadership skills.
Furthermore, while young people in their late teens and early twenties elsewhere in the world are moving directly from school to university, all young Israeli adults must first experience the army life, which teaches them a set of skills that gives them a head-start against their international counterparts once they embark on their careers.

Kanye West's multi-city screenings of his song "New Slaves" on buildings across the United States hit another hitch.
Two days after the Houston Police Department ended multiple screenings of the video, The Baltimore Sun reports that the city of Baltimore canceled the event.
Baltimore Police Department page announced the cancellation via Twitter:
NOTICE - The Kanye West album release events in Baltimore have been cancelled tonight.
— Baltimore Police (@BaltimorePolice) May 26, 2013
Reports indicate that the cancellation was on the city's part because the organizers did not have proper permits, citing the use of electricity and the anticipated crowds.
Still, a projection may have occurred elsewhere in the city, per Def Jam's Twitter account:
Leave the Baltimore Emerson Tower and lets head to 2925 Hudson Street – 11pm!
— Def Jam Recordings (@DefJamRecords) May 27, 2013
Baltimore and Houston were both to be part of a second wave of screenings after Kanye debuted the track on 66 buildings around the US.
