Could the Internet Save Book Reviews?
Submitted by Blake on May 7, 2012 - 2:37pm
Could the Internet Save Book Reviews?
The digital age has transformed the physical act of reading and will alter journalistic literary criticism as well. According to a Pew Research study published in 2010, over half of all Americans obtain news and information—including book reviews—on digital platforms: online editions of newspapers like the New York Times, email, Twitter, RSS feeds, etc. (The number is even higher among people with post-graduate degrees and those who are in their 20s and 30s.) The full effect of these changes will have on book reviews isn't clear, but they're already shifting in ways that would both please and alarm Orwell.

Thousands of jihadists want Mohammed Teddy Bear blasphemer executed: "Kill her, kill her by firing squad!"; Update: Pardon in the works?
Update 12/1 9:00am Eastern. A British Muslim member of Parliament and his delegation of dhimmis are flying to Sudan to negotiate a pardon. You know what they should be doing? Demanding the sentence be dropped and that Sudan apologize.
This is charming:
When a crowd of young men spotted a group of foreign reporters they began slashing their fingers across their throats. Police intervened as they advanced down the road.
Sheikh Abdul-Jalil al-Karuri, the imam of Abu-Shahid mosque and an adviser to President el-Bashir on cultural and religious matters, said that he had told his faithful that 15 days was an insufficient punishment for such a grave offence. "This happened on September 15 at the start of Ramadan, making it even more offensive," he said.
The Sudanese Government has been happy to encourage antiWestern sentiment in part to resist efforts from the West to lecture Sudan about Darfur and deploy peacekeeping troops in the war-torn region.
Update 1:20pm Eastern. Blade of Peace…
Unbelievable dhimmi commentary of the day: We need to be more "sensitive."
Update 11:53am. Photos of the "Kill Her!" demonstration in Khartoum are coming in. Looks like Islamic Rage Boy has new company: The Mo Bear Rage Mob. Via Yahoo! News…
Via an e-mail from M. Sliwa, former Sudanese slave and freedom fighter Simon Deng speaks out: "This is what they have been doing to non-Islamists in Northern Sudan for years and nobody has noticed, nobody has cared."
Via HA Headlines, more photos of the Mo Bear Rage Mob here. And here's an online petition to Free Gillian Gibbons.
Update: Funniest headline. Mockery is the best medicine.
Update: Via John Little, it's not just Sudanese Muslims attacking poor British teacher Gillian Gibbons and it isn't just Ms. Gibbons they want to suffer. Boris Johnson writes:
If you want grounds for despair, read the entries on the BBC website, in which some British Muslims say that she should be punished; or read the entries from people in Sudan saying that the children should be punished.
Just a reminder of the kind of British Muslims Ms. Gibbons has to look forward to when Sudan deports her. Remember?
If it's Friday, it's call-for-an-infidel-execution day. The Mohammed Teddy Bear Blasphemy outrage continues, with the usual suspects doing the usual things–waving weapons, screaming bloody murder, and advocating death in the name of Mohammed:
Hundreds of protesters brandishing swords and sticks gathered outside Khartoum's presidential palace Friday to vent their anger against a British teacher jailed for allowing children to name a teddy bear "Mohammed."
An undated amateur photo of Gillian Gibbons, who has been found guilty of insulting religion.
About 600 Islamic demonstrators piled out of mosques, chanting: "By soul, by blood, I will fight for the Prophet Mohammed." Some of the protesters demanded the teacher's execution, according to The Associated Press.
The agency reports that some chanted: "No tolerance: Execution," and "Kill her, kill her by firing squad."
The latest reports peg the marchers' numbers in the thousands. "Tiny minority." Uh-huh.
BBC has more via Dhimmi Watch:
The marchers took to the streets after Friday prayers to denounce the sentence as too lenient.
The protesters gathered in Martyrs Square, outside the presidential palace in the capital, many of them carrying knives and sticks.
Marchers chanted "Shame, shame on the UK", "No tolerance – execution" and "Kill her, kill her by firing squad".
Hundreds of riot police were deployed but they did not break up the demonstration.
Because they believe in free speech…for jihadists.
From a practitioner of the Religion of Peace:
"Imprisoning this lady does not satisfy the thirst of Muslims in Sudan. But we welcome imprisonment and expulsion," the cleric, Abdul-Jalil Nazeer al-Karouri, a well-known hard-liner, told worshippers. "This an arrogant woman who came to our country, cashing her salary in dollars, teaching our children hatred of our Prophet Muhammad," he said.

Leaky Gut Syndrome
The ALCAT test identifies delayed or hidden food allergies in various biological pathways
In analyzing the causes of food intolerance, we see that food passes through the intestinal wall then enters the portal circulation, which then passes through the liver. Toxic components are modified in the liver during a two phase process; transformation and then conjugation with other molecules that allow them to be eliminated from the body. Those toxins that go through the first phase are called toxic intermediates, and they can be more damaging to the body than the original toxin. If the second phase of conjugation cannot keep up with the first phase, then some of these toxic intermediates enter the general circulation. Here the immune system cells take a crack at them.
3 Major factors contribute to this process
Leaky gut syndrome: can occur with irritation, an imbalance in the type of micro organisms in the gut, an underlying allergic condition and a deficiency in a protective antibody called secretory IgA. When the immune system gets cranked up, the adrenal glands will produce more cortisol. Excess cortisol can cause both gut hyperpermaeability and a deficiency in secretory IgA antibodies. Thus stress which raises cortisol levels, can also contribute to food sensitivities in this way. Stress also weakens the immune system in other ways. Whatever the cause, incompletely digested food particles are more likely to activate the immune system than are fully digested food particles.
A slow or deficient detoxification pathway: fails to eleimate toxins, which are the then dealt with by the immune system cells. A detoxification pathway may be overwhelmed because there is too much toxin to handle. This occurs because a certain detox enzyme is deficient. Just as a deficiency in a digestive enzyme makes it difficult to digest a certain food, as when lactase deficiency inhibit diegestion of lactose, a detoxification enzyme defiency makes it difficult to impossible to break down a dietary toxin. Many detox enzymes require cofactors: micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals. This is sound in the soil from where the food is raised. If it's not in the soil, then it's not in the diet.
A genetic predisposition to react to a particular food substance: Some genetic tendencies are associated with place of origin. For example, compared to Caucasians most Japanese do not have as much alcohol dehydrogenase, the enzyme that breaks down ethyl alcohol in alcoholic beverages. Americans of African and Asian heritage are also more likely to produce less lactase than do those of northern European (Caucasion) descent.

Some who came were longtime Children's Home supporters who had visited the campus before. For many, though, this was their first involvement with the home and its different branches of ministry, which includes homes for children, homes for families, family counseling, Christian women's job corps and international ministry.
One of the largest groups to attend was made up of 20 plus students from a Tuloso-Midway High School English class. They excitedly delivered presents purchased for children living at STCHM.
"The girls brought presents to give the girls in Barnes Cottage, and the boys brought presents for the boys in Brown Cottage," said Lesle Dial, a STCHM staff member who greeted guests at the registration table. "The students enjoyed touring these two cottages and visiting with the children and the houseparents there."
A group of 17 people from Primera Iglesia Bautista in Laredo came, including Ana Landin and her two daughters, 11-year-old Ruth and 8-year-old Natalie. Several years earlier, Landin and her children traveled from Laredo to the STCHM Family Counseling office in Corpus Christi to receive professional counseling when she went through a divorce.
"I am grateful for the help we received, and we are doing great now," Landin said. "We wanted to see your ministry and learn more about the work STCHM does."
Others who attended have been involved with STCHM's international ministry efforts but knew little about the cottage homes on Boothe Campus where houseparents care for up to eight children from birth through 17 years of age. These included John and Julie Herrick from Corpus Christi and their three children along with Kevin and Jessica Wik and their young daughter from Portland. Herrick and his 13-year-old son Jack went on one of STCHM's mission trips to the Dominican Republic together, and the Wiks sponsor a Dominican child through STCHM's Samuel's Fund Child Sponsorship program.
For a few, visiting Boothe Campus was like coming home again. STCHM alumna Terry Campbell, who came to live at Parker Cottage along with three other siblings when she was only three years old, was accompanied by her husband Michael and their 16-year-old son, Jeremiah.
"I wanted to show my son the kind of Christmas I grew up with here," Campbell said. She especially enjoyed visiting during the meal with her former housemom, Mona Chaffin, who also attended the gathering.
The evening was filled with horse and buggy rides, hay rides, pony rides and a special live Nativity program in the chapel, performed by STCHM kids, along with a musical performance by students from Beeville First Baptist Church School.
"A Homespun Christmas could not have happened without everyone's assistance," said Kyle Luke, STCHM vice president of development and communications. "Everyone had a great attitude and worked diligently to ensure our guests were made to feel welcome and at 'home.' This included our staff but also many volunteers. It continues to amaze me how loyal our supporters are and how many supporters we have that make South Texas Children's Home Ministries a place of Godly influence to impact children and families."
Groups lending a hand to make the event a success were: Otto Kaiser Hospital, Oak Hills Community Church, Cowboy Fellowship Church in Pleasanton, George West High School FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) and First Baptist Church Zapata.
"It was great to see so many people from the community out on the campus to get a look at who we are, what we do and how we do it," STCHM President and CEO Eron Green said, "and many came from distances far away as well. We're glad that so many people were able to attend, and we are thankful to be an important part of our community, serving children and families in need. We hope to have this event for years to come."

Your Grades are What You Eat! 10 Smart Back to School Foods to Boost Kids' Grades
As the school year kicks off, it's safe to say that good grades are at the top of many people's school wishlists. While you can't deny that paying attention in class and doing the assigned work makes up a major part of the grade, there are other, usually overlooked, ways to earn fridge-worthy grade cards.
We spoke with with our resident nutrition expert, Mary Hartley, RD, and nutritionist and author Dr. Keith Kantor about which healthy habits may boost grades and improve performance in school.
Eat Healthy Foods
Mary shared that getting the right nutrients can boost the speed at which the brain works. "So many nutrients have a role in cognition, including cholesterol from egg yolks and dairy products, essential fatty acids from fatty fish, nuts and olive oil, and carotenoids and flavonoids found in colorful fruits and vegetables."
Back to School Food: Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Donut Sandwiches
Get Your Vitamins and Minerals
"A host of micronutrients also play key roles in processes that run the brain, including iron, zinc, choline, selenium, iodine, magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamins A and C," Mary added.

I put this book together to share some of my photography with friends and family as holiday gifts.
I'm happy to make it available to anyone that wants a copy. It being my first effort as a photography book, and to simplify including photos from Burning Man, I'm selling it through Blurb with no markup.
You can think of it as what I can afford as a holiday gift to the people who encourage my photography with their appreciation.
I started in photography with an Argus C3 in the summer of '73. That September I got a used Minolta SRT-101 for my Bar Mitzvah. After college, when I no longer had access to a darkroom, my photography hobby went dormant for about 25 years until I replaced a stolen point and shoot digital with a Pentax DSLR. With a real camera, and the control from processing the photos myself, my enjoyment of photography returned, with 25 years of compounded interest.

Braving the Dentist in Japan
Today I made an appointment at the dentist. I hate to admit it but it has been well over a year since I last visited one. I had a very negative view of the dentists in Japan. I have mistakenly been blaming them for the state of the nations teeth. There are so many people with seriously terrible teeth here. Now I realise I can't really blame the dentist for that. They can't make people brush, floss and go for regular check ups. One thing that Japan lacks if fluoride in the water, that helps to strengthen teeth and prevent cavities. The other thing is that dental treatment is terribly cheap here, as it is covered by insurance, so most people don't go for regular check ups until there is something really wrong because fixing the problem doesn't cost that much really, so why pay for prevention?
I sometimes see small children with black teeth which makes me shudder. I have also seen Junior high school aged kids with missing teeth, teeth sticking out at all angles or teeth so yellow you would think they had been drinking coffee for 20 years.
So I have decided to get over my personal dislike of going to the dentist and made an appointment with one near where my new house is. My Ikebana teacher lives in the a same area so she recommended her dentist to me. Another benefit of this particular dentist is they have a reservation system. Many don't. You just show up and wait your turn. The last dentist I visited in Japan had 5 chairs in one room and you sat there and waited for someone to come and look in your mouth whilst listening to everyone else get their teeth drilled and what not. My new dentist at least has some partitions so you can have some privacy. I find that infinitely better although I would prefer to have a private room. Oh well. Another thing that is slightly annoying is that even a simple thing such as getting a filling done will take about 3 or more visits, instead of the 1, 2 max in NZ. I'm not sure about the whole process but it can be very drawn out, which must put people off too if they are busy. Who really wants to find time to go to the dentist 3 times! It is bad enough having to show up once every six months.

Do you think not having fluoride makes the water taste better? yasu refuses to drink aussie water saying that it tastes terrible, and that japanese tap water is way better.ReplyDelete
I also think that it does have something to do with good dental hygiene. I remember in primary school we had a dentist on the grounds, and we went during class for cleaning and fillings if needed. Then in highschool there was a bus that came and picked us up to take us to the university dentist. I'm not sure if Japanese schools have the same thing or not, but we were always schooled on how to brush our teeth properly and how many times etc, in class and at the dentist.
If it helps, I've had nothing but good experiences with dentists in Japan. In fact, all of the dental work I've had done has been first rate - and I've had lots done (since I couldn't afford it at home, I've gotten a lot of badly needed fillings here).ReplyDelete
I think most Japanese people have bad teeth because of the lack of naturally occurring minerals in the water (since few drink real spring water). I grew up without fluoridation, and my teeth are quite strong. I also think the fact that drinking milk isn't a part of the food culture plays a part in it.
My experience with Japanese people is that they are pretty fanatical about dental hygiene. Most of them brush three times a day. In fact, they probably brush too much (which wears the enamel off of your teeth). They also don't drink enough water throughout the day (which cleans bacteria off of your teeth and helps remove plaque, particularly if you eat a lot of carbohydrates like rice).
So, I wish you luck with the dentist. If my experiences are any indication though, you won't need it!
You have reminded me I need to get over my fear and just go :( The last experience I had in NZ was horrific but four wisdom teeth in one go probably not pleasant anywhere.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your reassurance Orchid :)ReplyDelete
Gaijin Wife: I also had four teeth out in one go, it was not fun afterwards, but at least I don't remember anything about the actual surgery as I was sedated. Pity we can't get sedated for fillings or those gum cleanings that hurt like hell. My mum always says to take a panadol before you go to help dull the pain.
Kelly: I am no water expert but the water taste may depend on where it comes from and how its treated. I have lived in different parts of this city for 8 years but some of the more rural suburbs (like where I live now) have nasty water, compared to other places. My friend works for the city water office and commiserated with me about our bad tasting water. If Hokkaido has fantastic natural water sources that are fresh and clean, it would be hard to drink other kinds of water.
As for dental education in schools, from what I have seen in the schools I have taught in, they do put a lot of effort into getting the kids to brush their teeth after lunch. I don't remember seeing a dental clinic at any of them, nor a dental bus or anything. Junior High kids sometimes left class to go to the dentist but that was rare...we had a similar system to Australia in NZ with dental clinics at most primary schools and free dental care up to the end of high school I think, but you had to go a proper dentist yourself.
Who really wants to find time to go to the dentist 3 times! It is bad enough having to show up once every six months.ReplyDelete

|City hires summer coaches
|Written by Chris Lee
Four baseball and two softball summer coaches were hired by Holyoke City Council at their Tuesday, May 17 meeting.
Kyle Bules, Bret Miles, Trevor Dalton and Logan Tharp will help coach baseball while Ashley Clayton and Katie Hoffner will coach softball.
Theresa Tharp said there are four baseball teams and one softball team this summer. The coaches will work together to coach the teams. She also noted a group of parents have come together to coach T-ball teams.
Council member David Churchwell said he thinks the kids will look up to Dalton and Tharp as coaches as they have seen them play on the baseball field.
Code enforcement discussed
Councilman Brian Akey said he has received some complaints from people about the number of dandelions around town as well as some privacy issues.
Akey said some people have said the enforcement officer has been peeking over fences. City Supt. Mark Brown who supervises the position said he hasn't received any complaints and also said peeking over fences shouldn't be an issue. "Code enforcement has a right to enter upon private property anyway," Brown added.
Akey said he thinks the enforcement officer is doing a good job but wanted to bring these issues to the council's attention.
"It's a catch 22," Brown said. "Under the code we have the right to enter upon property."
Council members agreed anyone with issues may present them at council meetings.

Is selling your house, loft or condo on your to-do list this year? Even in a softening real estate market, there are ways you can turn your property into a can't-pass-up opportunity to buyers. Here are our top tips for getting your home resale-ready – as well as some pitfalls to avoid.
1 DO your best to create a warm and welcoming space that looks clean, bright, well cared for and up-to-date. The majority of potential buyers are seeking a place that is ready for their decorating touches but not in need of a major overhaul.
2 DON'T put your trademark on everything. If you're committed to selling your home, you have to be ready to say goodbye to it before you sell. Once you make the commitment to list, get ready to start erasing your personality from the space, so the largest number of potential buyers can envision putting their stamp on it. In other words, that midnight blue living room you love should be repainted white or sand before you list. (If a bold colour really makes the space, leave it on one feature wall and paint the other walls a neutral colour.)
3 DO invest in relatively low-effort, low-cost, high-yield facelifts, like repainting the walls, replacing dated lighting or faucets, sealing your driveway and so on. Make a list and tackle one project per weekend afternoon. Small cosmetic changes add up to make a great first impression of your home.
4 DON'T invest in high-effort, high-cost renovations that you hope will net you a sales premium. Listing your home and buying a new one is stressful enough, so don't frustrate yourself with overly ambitious plans you may be forced to abandon or cut corners on. Think refresh, not renovate.
5 DO invest in upgrading yard features like a deck or patio. Potential buyers love decks, so make yours look its best by repairing any damaged planks, refinishing the surface, and even investing in a nice barbecue and outdoor furniture set, which can help "sell" a relaxing outdoor-living lifestyle.

PeerIndex Founder reveals social marketing developments
Apr 24th
Click here is you can;t see this video interview with Azeem Azhar, founder of PeerIndex.
I had a chance to catch up with PeerIndex founder Azeem Azhar at his homebase in London. Azeem is prominently featured Return On Influence and this was a golden opportunity to catch up with him about some of the newest developments. In this interview we cover:
Is social scoring getting traction? Is it creating measurable value for companies and brands or is it still experimental?
How is the company going to use its new round of funding?
Why is social scoring so disruptive for many traditional advertising agencies?
How are companies realizing "TV ad-like" results by approaching influencers?
What is the "magic middle" of influencer outreach?
Is this still experimental or are companies beginning to dedicate real money towards influence marketing?
How are companies measuring benefits from this new channel?
I think you'll find this conversation quite interesting!
Are you ready for Return On Influence?

We are on the cusp of a marketing revolution. And it is being led by YOU.
Dozens of companies like Klout are slicing, dicing, and dissecting the billions of bits of information published on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook each day and grading your ability to create buzz. The most powerful of these new "Citizen Influencers" are rewarded by the world's biggest brands with trips, merchandise, and luxury cars. Today, anyone can get behind the velvet rope … if you know how!
And while this innovation is producing revolutionary opportunities for influence marketing, it has also resulted in the most divisive and controversial conversation on the web today. As I observed this intersection of business opportunity and personal loathing I thought that somebody should write a book about this.
So I did.
Return On Influence is the first book to explore the new world of Internet power and how brands are identifying and leveraging the most influential bloggers, tweeters, and YouTube celebrities to build product awareness, brand buzz, and new sales. This book is unlike any marketing book you have ever read and features:
- In-depth explanations of the surprising new sources of online influence — and how they can work for or against you!
- Interviews with more than 50 industry experts including tech blogger Robert Scoble, Influence at Work Author Robert Cialdini, Klout CEO Joe Fernandez and Azeem Azhar of PeerIndex.
- Practical, actionable tips to increase your own personal power and online influence.
- Exclusive insider access to Klout, PeerIndex … and their customers.
- A first-ever look at a brand's view of the Klout data that we can't access.
- A special foreword by Lee Rainie, Director of Pew Research
- Never-before-seen social influence marketing case studies.
Your Klout score is only the tip of the influence iceberg. Return on Influence blows open the Klout controversies, dives into the underworld of Internet cheating, helps you determine your own online power, and looks deeply into the future of this significant marketing trend.
Important brands like Disney, American Express and Nike are clamoring to master this new marketing channel and reward the new buzz-makers — the Citizen Influencers — with trips, merchandise and exclusive events. Everybody has a voice now and becoming influential no longer requires movie star looks, a degree from Harvard, or political power.
This is OUR time. This is YOUR time.
This is the time of Return on Influence.
My book launches at SXSW in March but is now in pre-sale through Amazon.com at a special introductory price that is 1/3 off the cover price. Anybody who buys the book before March will also receive a special edition 30-page eBook, The Insider's Guide to Klout, when emailing a proof of purchase to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Over the coming weeks I'll be passing along additional insights from the book and the story of writing it, which was an adventure all its own! Here's a new website with a glimpse of the book's content: www.ReturnOnInfluence.com

text: That area is almost all private land. About 90% of that land is outfitted. There are a few big bulls if youre in the right place but the quality has dropped big time recently. Mostly because they hunt bulls every other year now instead of every third year. The only public land is the cellars loop area. Elk are seldom on this land but they do go there from time to time. Most of the outfitters charge around 5000 for a bull. Check with the Keeline ranch, Popham ranch, Todd ranch and those should all have elk on them.

In Portugal the Water Dog is known as Cao de Agua. Historical theory finds our Water Dog on the development road from the central Asiatic steppes as early as 700 B.C. to the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th Century; and on to the British coastline as working crew of the ships on the Spanish Armada in 1588.
These seafaring working dogs carried messages between ships and ship to shore, and stood watch in the bow, barking warning of danger in the surrounding fog. In his homeland the working Water Dog thrived as courier between fishing boats. He dove fearlessly into the sea to retrieve broken nets and tackle gone overboard, and was a loyal friend to the fisherman and his family.
Modern marine technology - radar, radio communications and equipment - caused he near extinction of the Portuguese Water Dog. The sturdy, medium-sized, highly intelligent canine was displaced by modern fishing methods.
The breed has been preserved in America through the combined efforts of the 16 people who formed the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America, Inc. In August, 1972. At that time there were less than 25 known Water Dogs throughout the world. The founders and members of the PWDCA united to revive the breed and secure strong, healthy foundation stock.
On June 5, 1981, when the Water Dog was admitted to the American Kennel Club Miscellaneous Class, more than 500 dogs lived in the United States. On January 1, 1984, the Water Dog became eligible to compete in the AKC Working Group.
Please, submit sites that have general information about the Samoyed breed to this category.The word Samoyed (Samoyede) was the name of the nomadic tribe inhabiting the vast tundra areas from the eastern shores of the White Sea in Russia to the river stretches of the Ob and Yenisei in Siberia. It was also the name given by the tribe to their land and to the dogs which shared their lives, their work and their homes. To them the Samoyed dog was the shepherd of the reindeer herds, the defender and guard of the household, the occasional sledge dog but, above all, the intimate domestic pet.

The Flying Hamster HD Trophy guide & Roadmap
Another guide has been chosen as the preferred guide for this game.
This thread has been closed and is not maintained and as a result may contain outdated or incorrect information. Please follow the link below for the preferred guide.
*Direct link to stuck guide*
- Estimated trophy difficulty: 9/10 (My opinion 7/10)
- Offline: 15
- Online: 0
- Approximate time to 100%: 15-40 hrs, HIGHLY depend on skill.
- Glitched trophies: No one detected so far.
- Hardest trophy: 1 Credit Hard Mode (Gold)
- Does cheat codes disable trophies: No cheats! (As far as I know)
(First of all, I haven't got all 15 trophies yet - But im very close though.
Im only missing 1 trophy, wich is to clear the HARD MODE without using a credit.
I will try to give you all some tips on how to do this tough one.
P.s I actually got a membership to this site JUST to write this guide.
So this is my first guide ever, I hope it will be fine!)
Welcome to Flying Hamster!
Finish Stage 1 (Normal Mode)
- Very easy, just finish the first stage obviously.
Finish Normal Mode
Clear game in Normal Mode
- You have to clear all 5 chapters in one go in order to unlock this one.
You have 5 credits from the start, but as you unlock trophies you will get 1 more credit, each trophy that you unlock. So if you having trouble, try to unlock some easy trophies before you do this.
1 Credit Normal Mode
Clear game in Normal Mode using 1 credit
- This is the second hardest trophy in the game. You cannot use ONE SINGLE CREDIT what so ever! You have to make it through the whole game without dying. My tips is just to practice, learn the pattern of the stages and bosses, it didnt took me so long to get this trophy. Also, every 100.000 points you get, you will get a health item appearing on the screen.
1 Credit Hard Mode
Clear game in Hard Mode using 1 credit
- This is definetly the hardest trophy in the game. I will give you some hints about this. First of all, DO NOT try to do this before you have completed the hard mode. Because when you just finish hard mode you will get "WEAPON CHANGE". You can change between every weapon as soon as you start a new game without even picked them up. Change it with touchscreen or "L" and "R" button. For example, for using the bananas, you can simply reload by switching weapon and switching back - Then your ammo will reloaded. This is extremly useful!
In other words, unlock all trophies before except this one of course - That will gives you a total of 19 credits, very useful.
The hardest boss when you first play through this is the Octopussy in level 4. It's really annoying, try to learn his pattern and just practice and practice.
When you have completed the hard mode for the first time, the bosses isnt so hard as they were before. I will now tell you wich weapons I use for each bosses.
Stage 1: Mushroom - Any of the 2 bombs.
Owl - Bananas
Stage 2: Pinguin - Bananas
Stage 3: Fox - Bananas
Stage 4: Octopussy - Bananas
Stage 5: Mini Ship - Bananas
Here im flying in the middle of the screen and as far up as I can. Be prepared to move up above the Aliens head. Cause when the ship does the beam attack and fire some balls, you can easily avoid it by doing that. Sometimes the beam goes down, but its better to safe NOT to get hit by flying up.
Alien - Fire... Here im trying to stay at the bottom of the screen all the time in the left corner. I just spam the "X" button and when he relases the minions I kill the one that is on the bottom the next ones is easy to avoid. Just dont stand in the corner when the upper-one is done running, because he will fall down so just move a little to the right and then back again. Also, be aware of his MEGA BEAM!
Best of luck with this one!
Top score
Reach first position in the local Hi-score table
- I actually just got it by accident. I think you need like 200.000 points or something like that. It's not a problem to get this one anyway.
Millionaire score
Score 1.000.000 points
- This will come naturally when you go for the 1 credit trophies.
Screen clear using a berry
Kill hen and all crows in Stage 1
- This is easy. After the section with the bees and the goat a swarm of crows and a rooster will appear. Just hold the "X" button to fully charge with the berry weapon equipped and then blast them all.
Screen clear using a berry #2
Kill all bats using a berry on the wall in Stage 2
- You can get this after the part were the ghosts appear. You will flying through a "maze" with a couple of bats there. Just charge and blast this berry shot on the wall behind them and the small berries will hopefully kill them and you will get the trophy. You don't have to do it with just one shot. But you have to charge and make the bats killed by bouncing-wall-shot. At least I did!
Column breaker
Destroy all columns in Stage 2 (Normal Mode)
- An easy one. Once you get into the pyramid you just have to blast through every columns as it says.
Kill that ram!
Kill jumping ram from stage 1 (Normal Mode)
- I think its the 3.rd one, but im not sure. Anyway, just kill ALL goats in the first part of stage 1, before the Mushroom boss and you will ge the throphy.
Kill that robot!
Kill jetpack robot from stage 3 (Normal Mode)
- There is only 1 robot on this stage (at least in the Normal Mode). You will get some bombs a bit before this one appear. Try to save them and just shoot him with those ones when he appears. Trophy unlocked!
Avoid them all!
Finish any level without firing (except for the boss) with 1 credit
- I did it on the first stage. Not so much to say, just learn the pattern and DO NO DIE!
Hardcore spitter
Finish any level using spit weapon only
- Just dont pick up or use or whatever any other weapon than the regular one, finish 1 level and you'll get it!
Hamster Master
Go through Stage 5-2 (Normal Mode) without losing any HP
- Not a major problem! I flied at the bottom of the screen the whole time through the maze. You will get this pretty easy... Hopefully!
Destroy secret passage from stage 2 (Normal Mode)
- After you get into the pyramid you will soon get to a point where you can choose to go up or down. It doesnt really matter wich way you take, but be aware if you go up you need a another weapon then the regular one to destroy the columns. Anyway, after the big "Columncity" this SECRET INDIANA JONES ADVENTURE PASSAGE appear. It's mark with and X on the wall further down on the screen. Just blast it with bananas, bombs or any other HARDCORE weapons. /Duke Nukem
I hope this guide helps you all!

Erickson Tackles Research Challenges
Longtime faculty member named college's first associate dean for research and graduate studies
The offer was just too good to pass up.
Dr. Carlton Erickson was content in his role as a senior faculty member within the Division of Pharmacology and Toxicology. That is, he was content until Dean Lynn Crismon extended an invitation to Erickson to write his own job description as the college's first associate dean for research and graduate studies
"He basically offered me an opportunity to create a completely new position-- to write my own job description. I couldn't pass that up," Erickson said.
Since January, the new associate dean has been busy determining exactly how that job description should read. He has conducted meetings with each of the college's 40 plus research faculty members to hear about their successes and concerns. He has reviewed statistics concerning the college's recent awards history from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the gold standard for research funding. He has met with graduate students, both current and former, to talk about their impressions of and experiences within the college.
He's listened, he's studied, and now he has a plan. The job is taking shape.
Since faculty members provide the framework for research initiatives, Erickson began his explorations with them.
At most meetings between the new associate dean and a faculty member, Erickson said he always asked the same question, "What is your dream and how can I help you realize it."
Erickson said he was not surprised to find some common themes surface from the meetings. Most expressed satisfaction with their positions, but voiced concerns about securing more research funding, more laboratory space and more student fellowships.
While some initiatives will have to wait, work has already begun on others.
Beginning in the fall semester, the college will launch a mentoring program for junior faculty. Participation will be mandatory for all new assistant professors. Current assistant professors will not be required to participate, but they will be welcome should they elect to take part. The program will provide a one-to-one match between a junior and senior faculty members until the junior faculty member achieves tenure. Senior faculty will be trained to mentor in both teaching and research. The mentoring training begins this summer for division heads.
Erickson also plans to establish a pre-review process where senior faculty will volunteer their time to serve as early peer reviewers of grant proposals generated by college faculty. The process, which also includes review by expert scientists from other institutions, will serve as a sort of dress rehearsal for the proposal before it falls under the rigorous NIH review process.
The grant proposal process will also be aided by a new staff position that will fall under the direction of the new associate dean.Regina Maldve, who began work as senior grants and contracts specialist in the fall, has already helped faculty realize some grant funding awards and, working together, Erickson anticipates even greater successes.
Many young faculty members have never tackled the daunting challenge of submitting a grant proposal to the NIH, he explained. Maldve, who has participated in several grant writing workshops and who has personal experience in writing grants for her own research, is a new resource to faculty. Her expertise in navigating the sometimes arduous application process is available to assist all researchers, particularly those new to NIH grant applications.
Recently three junior faculty members have been notified that their NIH grant applications have been approved.
Erickson's second focus is directed to graduate students and their experience while in the pharmacy program.
Approximately 75 percent of the college's graduate student population have no pharmacy background at all when they enroll in graduate school to study in one of the labs of a pharmacy professor. And, although graduate students are encouraged to attend and present at national meetings, their disciplines are such that there is really no one meeting that attracts all of the students. The new associate dean has several initiatives designed to help bring graduate students together as a group and to help firm their ties to the college, in general.
"The graduate student experience is very different from the experiences of Pharm.D. students, particularly in terms of their relationship with the college" he explained. "Most graduate students feel connected to a particular professor but not so much with the college, in general."
Erickson has started a Friday afternoon social gathering for all graduate students, their spouse or guest, and members of the faculty and administration. The first gathering, scheduled in mid-April, drew more than 70 attendees. Two more were held in late April and early May. Erickson plans to make the Friday events a regular feature for the fall semester.
In the summer , Erickson will teach a communications skills class open to all graduate students. The class will provide the students with an opportunity to further establish community with one another and will provide Erickson an ideal venue for one of his greatest passions -- teaching highly-skilled researchers how to become effective communicators. The class is not mandatory, but is a recommended elective for the summer semester.
Some divisions do a great job of keeping in touch with graduate students once they complete their program; others, do not, he said. Plans are underway to identify a division coordinator to keep track of graduate students once they leave the college. In addition, he hopes to start a graduate student newsletter. Graduate student news will also become a regular feature in Longhorn Pharmacy Focus.
Finally, the Pharmacy Graduate Student Association, will sponsor an orientation experience for graduate students at the start of each fall semester, similar in structure to the New Student Orientation offered to students within the Professional Pharmacy Program.

REPORT No. 112/11
July 22, 2011
1. On November 11, 1998, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (hereinafter "the Inter-American Commission", "the Commission" or the "IACHR") received a petition lodged on behalf of Héctor Fidel Cordero Bernal (hereinafter also "the petitioner" or "the alleged victim"), claiming the violation by the Republic of Peru (hereinafter "Peru", "the State" or "the Peruvian State"), of rights enshrined in the American Convention on Human Rights (hereinafter the "American Convention" or "the Convention"). The petitioner alleged that in August 1996 he was removed from the position of interim ["Provisional"] Judge of the 4th Special Court for Criminal Matters of Huanuco, for granting the unconditional release of two defendants under criminal investigation for illicit drug trafficking. He contended that the administrative disciplinary proceeding brought against him did not respect his due process guarantees. He added that the Peruvian courts ruled that a petition for constitutional relief (an amparo suit) he brought in September 1996 against the decision to remove him from office was groundless, thus rendering ineffective the guarantees of independence and impartiality with which judges are required to act.
2. In response, the State argued that the alleged victim should have filed an appeal for reversal of a labor judgment (demanda laboral de reposición) or a compliance action to compel fulfillment of the law under the Peruvian Constitution (acción de cumplimiento), prior to submitting his claim before the IACHR and that, in not doing so, he has failed to fulfill the requirement set forth under Article 46(1)(a) of the Convention. It added that the petition should be found inadmissible based on Article 47(b) of the same instrument, in that it does not state facts that tend to establish a violation of the rights and guarantees provided by the Convention.
3. After examining the position of the parties, in light of the admissibility requirements set forth in Articles 46 and 47 of the American Convention, the Commission finds that it is competent to hear the petition and that the petition is admissible with regard to alleged violations of the rights enshrined in Articles 9, 8 and 25 of the American Convention, in connection with Articles 1(1) and 2 of the same instrument. The Commission decided to give notice of this Admissibility Report to the parties, publish it and include it in its Annual Report to the OAS General Assembly.
4. On November 11, 1998 the petition was received by the IACHR and was registered under number 911-98. The petitioner submitted additional information in communications received on July 20, 2006 and October 3, 2007. On March 17, 2008, the relevant portions of those submissions were forwarded to the State, which was granted a period of two months to respond, in keeping with the IACHR Rules of Procedure.
5. On August 4, 2008 the State submitted its reply and, on September 29, 2010 and July 8, 2011 it submitted additional information. The petitioner made additional submissions on October 30, 2008, July 19, 2010 and May 3, 2011.
A. Position of the Petitioner
6. The petitioner stated that he became a member of the Judiciary as an interim judge ["provisional judge"] on November 9, 1993, and was initially assigned to the Special Court for Civil Matters of the City of Tingo Maria, Department of Huanuco. He noted that on December 14, 1994 he took office as Interim Judge of the 4th Special Court for Criminal Matters of the City of Huanuco, of the Department of Huanuco. He stated that in the course of a criminal case for drug trafficking, he granted unconditional release on July 11, 1995, to two Colombian citizens, because he found that the requirements set forth in Article 201 of the Criminal Code of Procedure had been fulfilled.[1]
7. The petitioner claimed that, as a result of the above-cited decision, on August 11, 1995, the Judicial Oversight Office (OCMA) ordered him to cease duties and requested the Executive Council of the Judiciary to institute a disciplinary proceeding for his removal from office. He noted that said proceeding culminated in decision No. 008-96-PCNM of August 14, 1996, whereby the National Council of the Judiciary (hereinafter "the CNM" as in its Spanish acronym) ordered his dismissal. According to the submissions, the CNM found that in granting unconditional release to persons about whom the evidence cast sufficient indicia of criminal responsibility, Mr. Cordero Bernal "committed a serious act which, though not a CRIME, compromises the dignity of the office and is unworthy in the public view." It was noted that said grounds for disciplinary action are provided for in Article 21.2 of Law 26.397 (Organic Law of the National Council of the Judiciary), which was further repealed and supplanted by Law 26.933 of March 12, 1998.
8. The petitioner emphasized that even though Article 21.2 of Law 26397 made it possible to dismiss a judge, who commits a serious act that compromises the dignity of the office, Article 210 of the Unified Amended Text of the Organic Law of the Judiciary, [which was] in effect during that time period, provided that "the serious act which, though not a crime and compromises the dignity of the office and is unworthy in the public view, is subject to the disciplinary measure of suspension from one to 60 days." He added that Article 210 of the Organic Law of the Judiciary provides that the removal of a judge from office is only possible when there has been a prior disciplinary sanction, which according to his claim, did not occur in this case. He contended that because the decision against him stands in contradiction to this provision of the Organic Law, the CNM should have imposed the more lenient disciplinary measure on him.
9. The petitioner argued that Resolution No. 008-96-PCNM disputes the criteria applied by him as a judge, which was based on criminal procedural legislation. He claimed that said questioning by the CNM violates the principles of judicial independence and impartiality, as well as Article 212 of the Uniform Amended Text of the Organic Law of the Judiciary, which establishes that "a difference of opinion and of criteria in deciding cases does not give rise to sanction."
10. As to the requirement of prior exhaustion of domestic remedies, Mr. Cordero Bernal contended that on September 6, 1996 he filed an amparo suit requesting that Decision No. 088-96-PCNM be vacated. He noted that on November 27, 1996, the amparo petition was found inadmissible by the Special Court of Public Law for Lima, and that said ruling was upheld in a judgment of the Transitory Corporative Chamber Specialized in Public Law of the Superior Court of Justice of Lima on September 24, 1997. He added that on May 8 1997 the Constitutional Court found his amparo claim groundless. Based on the submissions, said judgment was served on Mr. Cordero Bernal on July 31, 1998.
11. The petitioner stated that in addition to the disciplinary proceedings, he was charged for crimes against the administration of justice for aiding in the escape of criminal offenders (encubrimiento personal) and malfeasance in office (prevaricato). He noted that on June 21, 2005, he was acquitted by the Second Criminal Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of Huanuco and that, on September 1, 2005, said decision was upheld on appeal.
12. Lastly, the petitioner alleged that the State is responsible for violation of the right to work and labor stability and claimed that Peru has the obligation to redress the damages caused by his arbitrary dismissal.
B. Position of the State
13. The State's account of the outcome of the disciplinary proceeding, the amparo petition, and the criminal proceeding for crimes against the administration of justice, is similar to that of the petitioner. It submitted copies of the principal rulings that were handed down over the course of each proceeding. It noted that the May 8, 1998 judgment of the Constitutional Court found that Decision No. 008-96-PCMN had been adopted in strict adherence to the law and in the context of a disciplinary proceeding in which the alleged victim could have freely exercised his right to a defense.
14. As to the admissibility requirements, the State argued that Mr. Cordero Bernal should have "filed a labor suit or a compliance action to compel fulfillment of the law under the Peruvian Constitution (acción de cumplimiento) prior to resorting to the Honorable Commission. These remedies provide expeditious proceedings for redressing the alleged violations of Mr. Cordero Bernal's rights." Accordingly, Peru argued that the petition should be found inadmissible, inasmuch as it does not fulfill the requirement set forth in Article 46(1)(a) of the Convention.
15. Copies of documentary evidence submitted by the State show that, on July 30, 1997, the Executive Commission of the Public Prosecutors Office received a criminal complaint lodged by the Head of the Judicial Oversight Office (OCMA) against Héctor Fidel Cordero Bernal for the crimes of malfeasance in office (prevaricato) and aiding in the absconding of criminal offenders (encubrimiento personal). That information indicates that on May 26, 1998, the First Criminal Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of Huanuco instituted criminal proceedings. Following several convictions that were subsequently overturned in the court of appeals, on June 21, 2005, the 2nd Criminal Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of Huanuco "[acquitted] defendant Héctor Fidel Cordero Bernal of the charges leveled against him for crimes against the administration of justice in aiding in the absconding of criminal offenders and malfeasance in office." According to the submissions, said decision was upheld in the highest appellate court on September 1, 2005.
16. Lastly, the State claimed that the factual account set forth in the petition does not tend to establish a violation of the rights protected in the Convention and requested the IACHR to find the complaint inadmissible based on Article 47(b) of the above-cited instrument.
A. Competence
Competence of the Commission ratione personae, ratione loci, ratione temporis and ratione materiae
17. Under Article 44 of the Convention the petitioner is entitled to file a complaint. The alleged victim is an individual who was under the jurisdiction of the Peruvian State at the time of the events in question. Furthermore, Peru ratified the American Convention on July 28, 1978. Consequently, the Commission is competent ratione personae to examine the petition.
18. The Commission is competent ratione loci to examine the petition, inasmuch as violations of rights protected by the American Convention are alleged therein which would have taken place within the territory of a State Party to said treaty.
19. Additionally, the Commission is competent ratione temporis to the extent that the obligation to respect and ensure the rights protected by the American Convention was binding upon the State on the date when the acts in the petition are alleged to have taken place.
20. Lastly, the Commission is competent ratione materiae because, as shall be explained hereunder, acts that could constitute violations of the rights protected by the American Convention are alleged in the petition.
B. Exhaustion of Domestic Remedies
21. Article 46(1)(a) of the American Convention provides that for a petition filed with the Commission to be admissible in keeping with Article 44 of the Convention, it is necessary for domestic remedies to be pursued and exhausted in accordance with generally recognized principles of international law. The purpose of this requirement is to make it possible for national authorities to hear cases on alleged violations of a protected right and, when appropriate, have the opportunity to resolve them before they are heard by an international body.
22. The instant petition alleges the violation of rights protected in the Convention stemming from the decision of the CNM to dismiss Mr. Héctor Fidel Cordero Bernal from his office of Interim Judge of the 4th Specialized Court for Criminal Matters of Huanuco. The petitioner and alleged victim noted that on September 6, 1996, he brought an action for constitutional relief (amparo), moving for Decision No 008-96-PCNM, which ordered his dismissal as a judge, to be set aside. The submissions indicate that on May 8, 1998 that action was found to be groundless at the highest appellate level of the Constitutional Court. The State filed an objection on the grounds of non-exhaustion of domestic remedies, claiming that prior to the filing of the claim with the IACHR, the alleged victim should have filed a reinstatement labor suit (demanda laboral de reposición) or a compliance action to compel fulfillment of the law (acción de cumplimiento).
23. In keeping with the IACHR Rules of Procedure and the legal precedent of the Inter-American system, whenever a State alleges non-exhaustion of domestic remedies, it bears the burden of indicating what remedies should have been pursued and prove that they are "adequate" to remedy the alleged violation; in other words, that the function of those remedies within the national legal system is suitable to redress the alleged violations of human rights brought to the attention of the Inter-American system.
24. Even though the Peruvian State mentioned that the alleged victim should have filed a reinstatement labor suit or a compliance action, it did not discuss the suitability of the amparo proceeding for the acts alleged in the petition to be remedied by the bodies of the domestic court system prior to being heard by this international body. Additionally, the IACHR notes that in the May 8, 1998 judgment, the Constitutional Court of Peru found the amparo suit brought by the alleged victim to be admissible, but that no violation of constitutional guarantees had been proven. This indicates that the supreme body of constitutional law in Peru did not refute the suitability of the amparo proceeding, but rather ruled on the merits of the controversy brought between Mr. Héctor Fidel Cordero and the respondent.[2]
25. Based on the above-mentioned considerations, the IACHR overrules the preliminary objection made by the Peruvian State and finds that domestic remedies were exhausted by Mr. Héctor Fidel Cordero through the Constitutional Court judgment of May 8, 1998.
C. Deadline for Submission of the Petition
26. Article 46(1)(b) of the Convention provides that in order for a petition to be found admissible, it must have been lodged within a period of six months from the date on which the interested party was notified of the final judgment that exhausted domestic remedies.
27. Based on the finding in paragraph 25 above, domestic remedies were exhausted by means of the Constitutional Court judgment on May 8, 1998. The parties' submissions indicate that that judgment was served upon the alleged victim on July 31, 1998. Given that the instant petition was received by the IACHR on November 11, 1998, it fulfills the admissibility requirement set forth in Article 46(1)(b) of the Convention.
D. Duplication of international proceedings and res judicata
28. Article 46(1)(c) of the Convention provides that for a petition to be admissible, the subject must "not be pending in another international proceeding for settlement" and, in article 47(d) of the Convention, it is stipulated that the Commission shall not admit the petition if it is substantially the same as one previously studied by the Commission or by another international organization. In the instant case, the parties have not raised the existence of any of those two circumstances of inadmissibility, nor can either one be inferred from the record in the case file.
E. Characterization of the alleged facts
29. For the purposes of admissibility, the Commission must decide whether or not the petition states facts that could tend to establish a violation of rights as stipulated in Article 47(b) of the American Convention and whether or not the petition is "manifestly groundless" or "obviously out of order," as provided in subparagraph c) of the same article. The rule governing evaluation of these particulars is different from the one required to decide on the merits of a complaint. The Commission must conduct a prima facie evaluation to examine whether the complaint substantiates the apparent or potential violation of a right guaranteed by the Convention and not to establish the existence of a violation. This review is a summary analysis that does not involve any prejudgment nor is it a preview of the opinion on the merits of the case.
30. The IACHR finds that, should it be proven that Mr. Héctor Fidel Cordero was dismissed as a result of decisions made by him in the course of the performance of his duties as a judge, that the alleged imposition of an inaccurate and harsher disciplinary sanction than the one that was in force at the time of the alleged acts is true, that Decision No. 088-96PCNM is indeed incompatible with the guarantee of judicial independence as alleged, and that there was no effective judicial response by the bodies that heard the amparo claim lodged on September 6, 1996, as claimed, this could tend to establish a violation of the rights enshrined in Articles 9, 8 and 25 of the American Convention, in connection with the general obligations set forth in Articles 1.1 and 2 of the same instrument.
31. The IACHR clarifies that the petitioner did not allege the violation of specific provisions of the Convention and, therefore, the articles listed in the previous paragraph were incorporated by virtue of the principle of jura novit curia.
32. Lastly, the Commission finds that the requirements provided under articles 47(b) and c) of the American Convention have been met, inasmuch as it is not evident that the claims brought by the petitioner are groundless and out of order.
33. Based on the considerations of fact and of law set forth herein, and without prejudice to the merits of the matter, the Inter-American Commission finds that the instant case meets the requirements of admissibility set forth in Articles 46 and 47 of the American Convention and, consequently,
1. To find the petition under consideration admissible, with regard to the rights enshrined in Articles 9, 8 and 25 of the American Convention, in connection with the obligations set forth in Articles 1.1 and 2 of the same instrument.
2. Notify the State and the petitioners of this decision.
3. Proceed to examine the merits of the matter.
4. Publish this decision and include it in the Annual Report to be submitted at the OAS General Assembly.
Done and signed in the city of Washington, D.C., on the 22nd day of July 2011. (Signed): Dinah Shelton, President; José de Jesús Orozco Henríquez, First Vice-President; Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro, Felipe González, and María Silvia Guillén, Commission Members.
[1] Said provision sets forth the following:
If at any stage of the proceedings it is fully proven that the defendant is not guilty, the Judge is required to order either sua sponte or at the request of the defendant, his unconditional release and the order shall be executed immediately and the respective case file should be submitted to the Correctional Tribunal when other defendants must remain in custody. When the case is only against the person who is the subject of the release, the main file shall be submitted.
In this instance, when the Tribunal upholds the decision, the [judge being] consulted shall order the case to be dismissed. Should it strike down the decision, an order shall be issued to re-arrest the wrongly released person and any punishments may be imposed or actions taken that may be appropriate, should the release have been improper.
[2] The information appearing in the case file of the petition indicates that on September 24, 1997 the Special Chamber for Public Law of the Superior Court of Lima had found the amparo claim inadmissible. In its judgment on the appeal for constitutional relief dated May 8, 1998, the Constitutional Court overturned said decision of inadmissibility and "amending it found the amparo action to be GROUNDLESS." See response submitted by the Peruvian State on August 4, 2008, annexes, judgment of the Constitutional Court, Case File No. 1051-97-AA/TC, single operative paragraph. The italics and bold and uppercase letters match the original text.

A food for fines program allows you to have all of your library fines waived through food donations at participating libraries.
Why a Food-For-Fines Program?
Our libraries recognize that in these economic times, many families in our communities need the added support of great organizations like Second Harvest. We also recognize that many people need to use the library to check out materials to get help with employment, career guidance, college and school help, as well as to access our entertainment collections.
And, we recognize that due to high fines or unreturned materials, some people aren't able to use the library. The Food-for-Fines program will help people eliminate their fines, return to the library, and help out a great organization. All this while at the same time--saving the library money in materials that it won't have to re-purchase.

No Limits

What Kinds of Fines Will My Donations Clear?
You can clear your fines and hold fees accrued with San Mateo County Library and Redwood City Libraries only. Fines do not include printing charges, damaged item charges, replacement charges, lost or missing items, or other service charges. The materials must be returned in good condition for your fines to be cleared.
But I Don't Have Library Fines
Even if you don't have any library fines, you can still participate in this program!
You can bring non perishable and unexpired food items to any of our participating libraries or drop them off directly at the Second Harvest Food Bank. Your donations efficiently provide food through Second Harvest's innovative direct-service programs and through their collaboration with a network of 326 partner non-profit agencies operating at more than 700 different food distribution sites.
Partner agencies include shelters, pantries, soup kitchens, children's programs, senior meal sites, and residential programs.

Recently I've had several discussions with a reporter on how small businesses can effectively use blogger relations and PR to market themselves. Out of that conversation came another topic about Online Reputation Management – not for companies, but for individuals.
There's a tremendous amount of content and in some cases debate, being generated in the search marketing and public relations communities about the need to measure brands and reputations online. The first step in a ORM program is to start monitoring and there are some pretty incredible and often times costly software tools emerging to do that.
That's all fine and good for measuring brands or companies, but what if the brand is you?

Coyotes to honor Teppo Numminen Saturday night
Robert Lang put Flames goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff in a deep freeze. A lot was going through Lang's mind in the few seconds it took him to skate down the ice as he led off a Coyotes shootout.
"You're either gonna beat him, or you don't," he said. "Everybody has their moves. He likes to poke-check and likes to be aggressive in the net, I saw him getting ready, and I froze him a little."
The Coyotes scored a 3-2 victory over the Flames on Thursday night in front of an announced crowd of 12,725 at Jobing.com Arena after squandering a 2-0 lead. The Coyotes recorded two points as they moved to fourth place in the Western Conference. Calgary stumbled to its ninth consecutive defeat, matching the ineptitude of the 1986 team.
Lang and Lauri Korpikoski scored in the shootout, and goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov stifled both Flames shooters, including former Coyotes player Olli Jokinen.
Lang appeared to catch Kiprusoff off guard, as he slowed his speed and knocked in a backhand.
"It was a good move on my part; that's how it is in shootouts," Lang said.
With about 2 1/2 minutes left in regulation, the Coyotes' Scottie Upshall appeared to suffer a leg injury and limped off the ice.
With 11:45 remaining in regulation, the Flames' Mikael Backlund scored his first NHL goal to tie the score at 2-2 as he worked the puck past Bryzgalov, who toughened up after that.
"It was a big win," Bryzgalov said. "There's not many games left, every point is so important, every game counts, every play counts now, and if you want to be in the playoff race, you've got to win, continue to battle hard.
"The standings are so tight; you win two in a row, you're in the playoffs, you lose two in a row, you're out of the playoffs. It's tough."
The Coyotes started the second period with an aggressive attitude, and it paid off.
With his 16th goal of the season, Shane Doan gave the Coyotes as 2-0 lead with 1:51 remaining in the period, as he maneuvered around the right circle and slapped it past Kiprusoff. The assists came from Upshall and Matthew Lombardi.
The cushion did not last long. Less than a minute later, the Flames cut it to 2-1 on Mark Giordano's goal with 57 seconds remaining.
With seven seconds left on a power play earlier in the period, Keith Yandle scored his ninth goal of the season to give the Coyotes a 1-0 lead at the 8:32 mark. The assists came from Petr Prucha, who made a quality pass, and Radim Vrbata.
"It was kind of a funny game, kind of a game with lots of hiccups," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "Lots of penalties, not a lot of flow. I was disappointed the way we started the game. I didn't think we had the first period we would have liked.
"We had a team that played last night, and I would have liked to have seen us be sharper, just sharper in the plays we were making, a little more direct at the net. I thought we passed up a lot of shots."
Coyotes center Robert Lang scored the winning goal in the shootout.
With about nine minutes left in the game, the Flames had a power play that could have give them a 3-2 lead, but the Coyotes' penalty-killers thwarted it.
21-1-2: The Coyotes' record when leading after two periods.
The Coyotes had what they wanted - a golden opportunity to put a frustrated team, one that lost in a shootout the previous night, into an early hole. They could not take advantage of a four-minute power play in the first period, and they later squandered a 2-0 lead but finally managed to win a game they needed.

Sept. 27, 2013
CARBONDALE, Ill.—The Southern Illinois volleyball team let a two set lead slip away falling to Bradley in five sets (28-26, 25-10, 21-25, 18-25, 14-16) Friday night at Davies Gym.
The Salukis (6-9, 1-2 MVC) and Braves (8-3, 2-0 MVC) battled in the first set swapping points until a tie as late as 26. Southern showed its grit as Jessica Whitehead knocked in a timely kill to give SIU a 27-26 advantage. Freshman Katie Baki sealed the first set victory with a service ace.
Southern Illinois owned the second set of match recording a match-high hitting percentage of .320. The Salukis were able to hold Bradley to a negative hitting percentage (-.071), hardly letting the Braves touch the ball. SIU convincingly took the second set, 25-10.
The tone of the match changed dramatically after the match-break as the Braves returned and began to disassemble the Salukis.
Faulty receiving and passing created challenges for the Saluki attackers in the final three sets of the match.
"We need to be a lot better in the back row," said SIU head coach Justin Ingram. "Our consistency tonight was as poor as it has been all season."
The Salukis found themselves within striking distance of Bradley in the third and fifth sets but gave away the final points. Bradley closed out the third set on a 7-0 run with three of those points courtesy of SIU errors.
Southern Illinois took the fifth set to match-point at 14-13 but a kill by Bradley's Kristin Chynoweth knotted the score at 14. The Salukis ended the match on a sour note committing two more errors to hand Bradley the set and match victory.
The Salukis will look to turn things around tomorrow afternoon when they host Loyola at 3 p.m.
