Product Description:
Lay back and enjoy as this seamless sheet of glass becomes the centerpiece of your living space. Featuring truly transcendent picture quality, each scene in everything you watch-HD movies, 3D, sports, even YouTube clips-is presented with unprecedented detail and astonishing color from Sony's exclusive X-Reality PRO picture engine. Ultra-clear, realistic motion during slow scenic sweeps and fast action sports comes courtesy of Motionflow XR 960.
Everything looks better. - This is picture quality so lifelike it's like looking through a window. Each scene in everything you watch-HD movies, sports, even YouTube clips and home movies-is presented with unprecedented detail, and astonishing color as Sony's exclusive X-Reality PRO picture engine draws on its database of real patterns, shapes and textures to display our most lifelike picture ever.
Our clearest picture ever. - When you watch a kickoff at the stadium, the ball doesn't blur from left to right. Recreating natural motion with reduced judder and less blur, Motionflow XR 960 technology helps you see each end-over-end rotation by taking motion clarity beyond refresh rates, which are only measured in Hz, to quadruple the motion effect so you see everything as if you were there.
Tough, yet beautiful. - Only Sony has it. Corning's exclusive Gorilla Glass lets you enjoy an incredibly durable, remarkably lightweight, frameless design with a seamless, sophisticated look. Paired with the OptiContrast panel, Gorilla Glass helps boost contrast and brightness while minimizing unwanted light reflections.
In-your-face action. - Brace yourself for pure 3D excitement that feels like you're standing on the 50-yard line. Through advanced Active 3D technology, immerse yourself in Full HD 1080p clarity and phenomenal 3D picture quality. Just slide on the comfortable 3D active glasses and enter a whole new dimension.
Go way beyond cable. - Welcome to the endless entertainment of the Sony Entertainment Network, where thousands of movies, TV shows, online videos, games and music are always at your fingertips. By connecting to the Internet you can access Full HD 1080p entertainment, 3D content and made-for-TV apps like Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, Facebook and more.
The difference is dynamic. - It's all about perfecting a natural look. Dynamic Edge LED backlighting with local dimming delivers pitch-black night scenes and illuminates bright scenes that pop with vibrant color. Rather than illuminating the entire screen, contrast is boosted in just the right areas for a more realistic picture.
Natural 3D effects. - Feel like you're standing alongside your favorite actor as the environment envelops you with lush 3D detail. Ultra-realistic effects are achieved by X-Reality PRO 3D Super Resolution, optimizing each area of the 3D scene by drawing on its database of patterns, shapes and textures.
Goodbye wires, hello built-in Wi-Fi. - Maximize your entertainment while reducing cable clutter. Wirelessly stream beautiful, HD entertainment straight from the internet or your home network using built-in Wi-Fi connectivity.
Life-sized video calls. - It's like they're in the room with you. Skype video calls bring your family and friends closer than ever as they appear as large as life on your big screen-for free. Just connect the easy-to-use Skype camera (sold separately) for a face-to-face look at the caller on the beauty of your Sony HDTV.
All devices, together as one. - Don't all of your personal photos and videos deserve the big screen? Experience your content on a grand scale simply by connecting your compatible smartphone, computer or Sony Tablet S via your existing Wi-Fi network. Then you can easily "throw" your videos, photos and music files to your HDTV.
Control your TV with your phone. - Now there's one less remote control on the coffee table. Just download the free Media Remote app and turn your iPhone, Android phone or Sony Tablet S into a versatile remote control with a full QWERTY keyboard. It makes changing channels and typing searches ultra fast and convenient.
Wi-Fi without a router. - Sometimes your friends want to share their personal photos and videos on your beautiful HDTV. With Sony's Wi-Fi Direct Mode, your friends can throw personal content to your TV without connecting to your home network. Wi-Fi Direct completely bypasses the Wi-Fi access point/router, so it's easy to set up.
A sense for songs. - What's that song in the TV show, movie or commercial you're watching? Press 'TrackID' on your remote and get the song name and artist instantly.5 You can also start TrackID by shaking a smartphone that's running the Media Remote app.4 Very convenient.
Save power, save money. - Enjoy lower energy bills with reduced power consumption of up to 30% while maintaining beautiful image quality with Eco Drive technology. It automatically reduces power consumption while boosting color and detail on the screen and conserving energy used by the backlight.
Handheld gaming goes big. - Play your PlayStation Vita system or other handheld gaming consoles (with SD output) on your HDTV with no irritating black borders surrounding the picture. Just select Game Mode for an ideal fit to your TV screen according to the input. Better yet, Super Resolution Processing delivers a clear, crisp view in HD size.
Onboard manual. - You will never lose your TV manual again. The iManual is available through the menu system on the TV - always there if you need it.
Find it fast. - Searching for shows and music on your TV is so simple. Just press 'GUIDE' on your remote and see what's on and what's coming up with a handy image to go with it. You also get an episode synopsis, cast and crew details and suggestions to related shows, on-demand movies and Blu-ray Disc titles.
Find it fast. - Finding music is also a cinch. Music Search with the TrackID button cleverly recognizes the melody of the music playing on your TV. Want to go further? Search to find more songs by the same artist and other related web content. Share your discovery with the world via Twitter.

For as long as I can remember I've had a passion for motorcycles. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area I was exposed to all types of beautiful bikes, but I keep a special place in my heart for Café Racers. My first bike was a '67 Honda 350, a dream bike, except for the fact that I spent more time trying to get it to turn over than actually riding it. I moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1999 and became and serious rider 8 years later. The big sky and endless winding roads drew me back into riding.
Returning to the motorcycle community called my attention to the lack of women's motorcycle apparel and its need for a breath of fresh air.
In addition to creating a new aesthetic in women's motorcycle jackets, I spent many hours talking to women with thousands of miles of experience behind their read more advice (Thank you Motor Maids!). So here is the result, I hope you enjoy them. We'll see you down the road, "Riding your own story."

Here are a few thoughts on what you might want to bring with you on a visit to the Genealogy Center.
• You definitely will wish to have copies of your research notes, lists of questions to answer, and sources to check. Carrying your notebook computer is wonderful, but a list that you can carry around with you is nice, too. Be prepared by going over your material again to re-familiarize yourself with the background and challenges, and take a few minutes to search our book and microtext catalogs so you can hit the ground running.
• Bring a flash- (jump- or thumb-) drive. You can copy images of microfilm or download material from our computers. However, make sure that there are no programs already on the drive, as the ACPL system will not accept it if there are .exe files.
• Bring a notebook or folder in which to organize what you find. Make sure to cite the author, title, etc., when you make notes and/or copies.
• Don't forget your favorite pens or pencils. Although we have golf pencils you may borrow, you'll probably feel more comfortable using your own than the 3-inch versions.
• Bring money, preferably in $1 bills. Our photocopiers (ten cents per copy) take coins, and $1 and $5 bills, but the Pay-4-Print system to print from the computers (five cents per copy) will take only $1 bills.
Of course, these are just basics. There might be other items to being as well, such as a lock for your notebook computer, but be sure to bring your well-rested brain, as that's always your best research tool!

Sailor Destron wrote:Wow... Really had fun reading that. (How long did it take you to type that anyway?) MTMTE is one of my favorite episodes. It seems to set the stage for about all the Transformer universe stories and backgrounds. I mean Cybertron, the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, searching for energon,coming to earth. These are elements found in all Transformers plot lines. MTMTE is an important episode. Well that is getting a little off subject... Good review/summary. You put alot of work into that. I hope there is a part 2? (Don't forget the part about the Burmese ruby crystals! that's the best part.)

According to Soundwave, there's enough there to power... the entire planet of Cybertron. I raise an eyebrow at that.
Janus Prime wrote:I love G1. It gets to me nerves when people say the ONLY way to like it is being nostalgic. I´m sure that´s true for many, and there´s nothing wrong with that, but in my case there´re several things I like and that I think are superior no newer shows.
One, for instance, is the introduction of new characters in the first episodes. Got to love Bumblebee and Wheeljack from the start, and one just have to see more of Thundercraker and Skywarp.
Some people have a problem with the Status Quo, the question of "why is Starscream second in command?" always pops up. I like that the answer is very obvious, he´s a genious, a young, impatient, arrogant genious. Who else could be second in command? the rest of the Decepticons aren´t quite the same as him.

The flag debate tells us something about the quality of design in New Zealand
I am not going to tell you about the right choice for New Zealand's flag. That would invalidate the point of the column. Certainly I shall vote for one; much of my response will be an instinctive opinion. What I shall probably miss – what we are currently missing – is expert guidance on the characteristics of a good flag.

On the last Sunday of the month, between 900 and 1,200 motorcycles are expected to drive from Bristol, through Burlington, Harwinton, Terryville, Wolcott, Plantsville, and Cheshire, for the fourth annual Ride for Justice.
This annual ride, which brings out close to 3,000 people every year, benefits the Petit Family Foundation, which continues the memories of Jennifer Hawke-Petit, Hayley Elizabeth Petit, and Michaela Rose Petit, who were murdered in a horrific home invasion in 2007.
All of the proceeds from the ride go towards the foundation so it can achieve its mission of "fostering the education of young people, especially women in the sciences; to improve the lives of those affected by chronic illnesses, and to support efforts to protect and help those affected by violence while continuously honoring the precious lives of Jennifer, Hayley and Michaela."
Ron Catucci, chairman of the Ride for Justice, began this event four years ago, and said it benefits a cause that is close to him.
"They follow their mission statement, and they do a very good thing," Catucci said, adding that recently the foundation hit the $1 million mark of its total donations to various causes.
This year, Catucci said he hopes the ride brings out 2,000 riders, and continues to grow every year.
"It is a great foundation to support," he added.
The Ride for Justice will be held on Sunday, Sept. 29, with registration at St. Paul Catholic High School (1001 Stafford Ave., Bristol) beginning at 9 until 11 a.m. and the ride will leave at 11:30 a.m. The cost is $25 per rider and $15 per passenger. Walk-ins are $15 and a motorcycle is not required to participate in the event.
The ride will leave St. Paul Catholic High School in Bristol, and travel through Bristol, Burlington, Harwinton, Terryville, Wolcott, and Plantsville, arriving at Bozzuto's Food Distribution Center, 275 Schoolhouse Rd., Cheshire, in time for an Outback Steak House family-style barbecue.
The route takes about an hour and travels through scenic wooded areas and along the reservoir on Route 72.
Entertainment starts at 9:30 a.m. at St. Paul High School in Bristol from Face 4 Radio, and The Happening will be performing at 12:30 p.m. at Bozzuto's in Cheshire.
The ride is sponsored by Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC, Outback Steakhouse, Yankee Harley Davidson and Bozzuto's Inc.
For more details visit www.ride4justice.org, www.facebook.com/rideforjustice or email firstname.lastname@example.com or you can contact Ron Catucci directly at 860-605-6256.
Some of the recent grants given out by the Petit Family Foundation were to Klingberg Family Centers, Safe Haven of Greater Waterbury, New England Air Museum, Interval House, New Britain Academy for Health Professions, The Children's Museum and Connecticut Invention Convention, Connecticut Science Center, CT-ALIVE and The Cove Center for Grieving Children.

language "Anadrol 50" Oscar race often unpredictable
That's almost impossible to answer.
The Academy's voting procedure (where voters have to agree to see a quota of entries if they wish to select the nominees) means that a relatively older group chooses the candidates, voting on a pool that is limited to one film per country.
The Academy has tried to offset this group's preference for the mainstream by charging a blue ribbon committee to "Anadrol 50" choose up to three additional films. From the shortlist of nine, five nominees will be selected. But that still leaves a process considerably at odds with the major festivals and critics' groups.
Nowhere was this clearer than last year, when Japanese entry "Departures," largely ignored by critics and the festival circuit, beat critical favorites from France ("The Class") and Israel ("Waltz With Bashir").
"Everyone was surprised by the Japanese film winning," says Claudia Landsberger, managing director of Dutch promotion body Holland Film. "It maybe shows that things are shifting, making it even harder to predict."
This year, the race is complicated by the fact that several front runners were eliminated when they were not selected by the countries where they were made.
Sebastian Silva's domestic servant drama "The Maid," for example, a Sundance winner and Golden Globes nominee, is nowhere to be found on the list of 65 eligible pictures. Instead, Chile has gone with Miguel Littin's "Dawson Isla 10," a political period piece set in the aftermath of the 1973 coup that brought dictator Augusto Pinochet to power.
Oliver Assayas' "Summer Hours" has racked up several honors, including Buy Cheap Jintropin Online nods from critics' associations in New York, Los Angeles Sustanon 250 Injection Frequency and Boston, Gensci Jintropin but France bumped it in favor of Jacques Audiard's prison drama "A Prophet."
And Spain has again snubbed Pedro Almodovar, whose "Broken Embraces" is a front runner for the Golden Globes but won't make the Oscar short list at least not in the foreign language category. release in 2009.) Spain is pinning its hopes on "The Dancer and the Thief," a heist drama from Fernando Trueba, the Oscar winning director of "Belle Epoque."
Other award winning foreign features whose visas won't be stamped Oscar this year include John Woo's action epic "Red Cliff" (China); the bloody vampire romance "Thirst" from director Chan wook Park (South Korea); Cary Fukunaga's immigrant drama "Sin Nombre" (Honduras) and Anne Fontaine's fashion biopic "Coco Before Chanel."
Of the candidates actually in the running, Michael Haneke's "The White Ribbon" (Germany's entry despite the director's Austrian passport) and France's "A Prophet" lead the kudos stakes. Both were winners in Cannes, with "Ribbon" taking the Palme d'Or and "Prophet" the Grand Jury prize, and also at the European Film Awards. New York's online reviewers, along with critics in Toronto and Chicago, voted Haneke's black and white period piece the best foreign language title of the year, while Audiard's tough crime story got the nod from the National Board of Review. And both pictures are a difficult sell there.
"The Academy has its own tastes, and they're not the same as other festival juries or critics," says Christian Dorsch, head of German Films, which brings together the jury every year to pick Germany's Oscar candidate. It was the same with 'Goodbye Lenin!' which was a Golden Globe nominee but missed out on the Oscars."
To increase their chances, national juries often go with what has worked in the past. For Europe, that means World War II. No period has a better Oscar track record. "Draft Dodgers") from tiny Luxembourg; and the Czech thriller "Protector."
"Protector" "is tailor made for Hollywood sensibilities: War, Germans and Jews," is how Czech film academy president Petr Vachler puts it.
"The more epic films show what a country is capable of: the costumes, the sets, an so on," adds Landsberger. "Academy members aren't just interested in the quality of the script or the acting; they judge the entire production."
Many critics have turned up their noses at Italy's entry, Giuseppe Tornatore's "Baaria." But the Sicilian epic, with its grand, romantic "Anabola Steroider Norge Lagligt" view of Italian history, not to mention strong production values, is the kind of European cinema the Turinabol A Stawy Academy loves. Torantore also has the advantage of name recognition, thanks to his Oscar win for "Cinema Paradiso" in 1990.
Similar factors could help director Chen Kaige, whose "Forever Enthralled," a biographical drama set in the opulent world of Chinese opera, will evoke a sense of deja vu from fans of his Oscar nominated "Farewell, My Concubine."
It's hard to say whether fame will be a factor in judging "Mother," Korea's entry. Director Joon ho Bong is best known stateside for his hit monster movie "The Host." But that film is worlds away from the murder mystery plot and domestic melodrama of "Mother." Working in "Mother's" favor is a breakout performance by lead Kim Hye ja.
Reputation isn't the only factor at work. In the past, Academy voters have often overlooked higher profile titles in favor of films that address important political issues or redress historic wrongs. Claudia Llosa's Berlin Golden Bear winner "The Milk of Sorrow" does both with its allegorical look at the damage wrought by political violence in Peru. Similarly, the plots of Austria's "For a Moment, Freedom" (Iranian political refugees fleeing to Europe), Japan's "Nobody to Watch Over Me" (media sensationalism in the Internet age) and Australia's "Samson and Delilah" (Aborigines fighting poverty and racism) have a ripped from the headlines appeal that might make the difference.
Of course, no foreign language forecast would be complete without a few dark horses. At first glance, "Police, Adjective" Romania's hope, is an unlikely Oscar candidate. Director Corneliu Porumbiou has made an anti thriller where semantic discussion takes the place of shoot outs and car chases. But this intelligent drama has a core of devoted and vocal fans not least Roger Ebert, who picked it as one of the best foreign films of 2009.
Xavier Dolan's "I Killed My Mother" is another out of left field candidate that could go the distance. The Canadian drama, tracing the love/hate relationship between a mother and her gay son, has Winstrol A Prolaktyna been gathering critical momentum since it swept the Directors' Fortnight honors in Cannes last year.
But don't bet on either. Which would be hard, in any case: No matter what odds the bookies give on foreign language wins elsewhere, they are by and large avoiding the Oscar race.

Militants seized Iraq's second-largest city June 9, officials said, in another blow to the authorities, who appear incapable of stopping rebel advances.
Overnight, hundreds of gunmen launched an assault on Mosul, 350 kilometres north of Baghdad, engaging in combat with troops and police, they said.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has also reportedly taken 28 Turkish truck drivers hostage. The drivers had been travelling from the southern Turkish city of İskenderun to the Geyara Thermal Power Plant in Mosul, Doğan News Agency reported.
A senior Turkish official told Reuters that Turkey is investigating media reports. "These truck drivers were taking fuel to an energy storage and distribution hub. When they arrived, ISIL (militants) were already there," the official told Reuters, adding that Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was in contact with Iraqi, Kurdish and U.S. officials to try to ensure their safe release. "They were detained (by the militants), they haven't been hijacked ... They're unharmed as far as we're aware. When they've finished transferring the fuel we're hoping that they will be freed," another Turkish official said.
Foreign Ministry officials told the Daily News that contact had been lost with 28 drivers in Iraq. They said they could not yet ascertain whether the drivers had been abducted by ISIL militants or were simply stuck somewhere in the region, and were still working to find more details.
The phone lines of the Turkish Consulate in Mosul have been cut, though Ankara can still communicate with Consul Öztürk Yılmaz through his cellphone, Hürriyet's Uğur Ergan has reported. Yılmaz recently survived a bomb attack while traveling to the northern city of Arbil.
Before the entire city fell, militants took control of the governor's headquarters, prisons and television stations. "The city of Mosul is outside the control of the state and at the mercy of the militants," an interior ministry official told AFP, making it the second city to fall to anti-government forces this year.
An AFP journalist, himself fleeing the city, said shops were closed, security forces had abandoned vehicles and a police station had been set ablaze.
Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani has called on the people of the Kurdish region to help the displaced people of Mosul, while accusing the central government of not cooperating with the KRG against militants.
Kurdish leaders offers help
"Over the last two days, we tried extremely hard to establish cooperation with the Iraqi Security Forces in order to protect the city of Mosul. Tragically, Baghdad adopted a position which has prevented the establishment of this cooperation," Barzani said in a written statement
"In order to assist and support the displaced people of the city of Mosul, including all of the city's different ethnic groups, I ask the people of the Kurdistan region to help the displaced people of Mosul in whatever way they can within the framework of legal and security guidelines. I also urge the United Nations High Commission for Refugees [UNHCR] to provide relief and support for the displaced people fleeing the violence in Mosul," he added.
"In the meantime, we reassure the people living in the areas of Kurdistan outside of KRG administration that the Kurdish Security Forces are ready, as always, to handle the security situation in these areas."
Mosul is the capital of Nineveh province. In recent days, militants have launched major operations in Nineveh and four other provinces, killing scores of people and highlighting both their long reach and the weakness of Iraq's security forces.
Mosul is the second city to fall to militants this year, after the government lost control of Fallujah, just a short drive from Baghdad, in early January.

EAA Chapter 640 in Wausau, Wis., has donated $10,000 to the Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame to establish a new scholarship fund for aviation/aerospace students from Wisconsin.
The largest gift WAHF has received by an individual or organization, the fund will be established at the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin, Wausau, to endow a named scholarship. Successful applicants for the new scholarship will be Wisconsin residents who are aviation/aerospace students at U.S. technical schools, colleges, or universities with strong academic performance, civic involvement, and extracurricular activities.
"We are grateful to members of EAA Chapter 640 who see the significance of aviation careers and the magnitude of helping students meet their academic and career goals," said Rose Dorcey, WAHF president. "WAHF is pleased to have EAA Chapter 640 as a partner in furthering our scholarship program and appreciate their commitment to supporting aviation education. The Wausau area has a long history of aviation visionaries and we feel their spirit in the chapter's donation."
"We are proud to be helping young men and women through the establishment of a new scholarship fund with the Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame," said EAA Chapter 640 President Bob Mohr.
The chapter's donation is a result of an estate gift left to the chapter by Bob Payzer, a Wausau native and friend of the chapter who passed away in 2010. The chapter also donated $10,000 to the Archie Towle Aviation Endowment Fund, established in 1998 to award up to $3,000 to students living within a 50 mile radius of the Wausau area who demonstrate financial need, ability, and a desire to pursue a career in the field of aviation
A scholarship presentation was held on May 7 at Wausau Downtown Airport (KAUW), Wausau. Representatives of EAA Chapter 640, the Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame, Archie Towle Advisory Committee, the Community Foundation, and former Towle Scholarship recipients were on hand to celebrate this generous gift.
The Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin is WAHF's scholarship administrator. Additional information can be found here.
The Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame, established in 1985, currently awards three scholarships: the Carl Guell Memorial ($1000) created in 2002, the Jerome Thiessen Scholarship ($500) that began in 2005, and the Jerome Ripp Memorial, a $500 award established in 2007. WAHF has awarded $18,000 in scholarship funds since the launch of its program in 2002.
EAA Chapter 640 was established in 1978 and part of its mission is to foster, promote, and engage in aviation education.

New Pope Elected
Smoke poured from the Sistine Chapel around 7:06 p.m., Vatican City time Wednesday signaling that a new Pope had been chosen, according to Vatican Radio.
"...white smoke pouring out of the Sistine Chapel chimney signals the Cardinals had reached consensus on a candidate in the second round of balloting Wednesday afternoon. This means that at least two thirds, or 77 of the 115 cardinals gathered in conclave since Tuesday afternoon are united in their support for the candidate who has now become the 265th successor of St Peter," Vatican radio broadcasted.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the first to take the name Francis and the first Latin-American pope to be elected. He is also the first Jesuit pope.
Bishop Curtis Guillory of the Beaumont Diocese reacted to Pope Francis' election in an interview with the Examiner.
"I think he was chosen because he is a very holy man, and he has a great love for the poor, which is why he chose the name Francis — referring of course to St. Francis of Assisi," Bishop Guillory said. "Secondly, I think they wanted to put an emphasis on the vibrancy of the third-world — Latin America, yes, but also Africa and Asia, where the Catholic Church is growing by leaps and bounds. I've been to those areas and you can just see the liveliness and the the deep faith of the people. By picking a Latin American, where of course 40% of the Catholic population lives, they wanted to recognize and raise up the areas of the world where the Church is very alive. These countries are also the most poor. All of it comes together and —to me— makes a lot of sense."
According to the Vatican's website, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was born on Dec. 17, 1936 in Buenos Aires. He was ordained for the Jesuits on Dec. 13, 1969 during his theological studies at the Theological Faculty of San Miguel.
He was novice master in San Miguel, where he also taught theology. He was Provincial for Argentina (1973-1979) and rector of the Philosophical and Theological Faculty of San Miguel (1980-1986). After completing his doctoral dissertation in Germany, he served as a confessor and spiritual director in Córdoba.
On May 20, 1992 Bergoglio was appointed titular Bishop of Auca and Auxiliary of Buenos Aires, receiving episcopal consecration on June 27. On June 3, 1997 was appointed Coadjutor Archbishop of Buenos Aires and succeeded Cardinal Antonio Quarracino on Feb. 28, 1998. He is also Ordinary for Eastern-rite faithful in Argentina who lack an Ordinary of their own rite.
Bergoglio served as Adjunct Relator General of the 10th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, October 2001.
He served as President of the Bishops' Conference of Argentina from Nov. 8, 2005 until Nov. 8, 2011.
He was created and proclaimed Cardinal by the Bl. John Paul II in the consistory of Feb. 21, 2001, of the Title of S. Roberto Bellarmino (St. Robert Bellarmine).
He was also a member of:
- Congregations: for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments; for the Clergy; for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life ;
- Pontifical Council for the Family;
- Pontifical Commission for Latin America.

Research & Learning Librarian and Instruction Coordinator, U of Arizona | MLIS & MS in Instructional Design
February 10, 2016
Revisiting digital badges, 2016 edition
When I first started thinking about badges and using badges, they seemed to help solve the problem of so many requests for library instruction, but without having the resources to physically be embedded in each class. I first designed and implemented badging into the one-credit course we used to have for information literacy. It was fully online and part of the coursework included tutorials and other online work. I created badges for our initial pilot that required instructor feedback and more conversation between instructor and student for badges to be earned (rather than automated earning through multiple choice, etc.). This pilot was very successful. Students enjoyed earning badges, saying it helped them organize what they were learning and that it provided more... closure perhaps... than just doing a tutorial or reading something and moving on. Since this course was geared toward freshmen, the badges added a student success component to help them think more about how to study and how to move through a course.
When we moved into the Fall semester pilot (still in 2013), when enrollment for this course gets to be the largest (over 100), we had to revise the badges and make them all mostly automated so that our GA could actually get through all of them plus her regular grading and instruction work for this course. Although students were still positive for the most part about the badges, it didn't feel as successful, to me at least, from an instructor standpoint. This could wind up being a discussion instead about class size, but I think both aspects played a role in my impression.
During this time, I thought since the info lit outcomes for our general education program weren't as strong (and mandatory?) as they needed to be, and that perhaps embedding badging options into gen ed courses would help usher in more info lit instruction, but where librarians wouldn't need to be coming in to do one-shots. We just don't have the resources for those anymore, and as Instruction Coordinator, I will firmly say I don't feel they are beneficial pedagogically to our instruction goals here at the UofA (we are phasing them out, #nomoreoneshots).
I wrote about my presentation to gen ed faculty here and also included student feedback from the pilots. Faculty were positive and it was a possibility to make this work. With a new online college established (UA Online), we also considered embedding badges in these programs since badges might work better with fully online courses. We also considered badges for the Writing Program at the beginning of this academic year. But just popping in automated badges in various spots of the curriculum (without greater collaboration with faculty, potentially) would essentially be the same thing as a one-shot, just virtually. This would be more physically possible, but not be so beneficial pedagogically. After bouncing around and evaluating what might work best instruction-wise, and based on the needs of these programs and departments, we reverted back to thinking about badges as a student success tool. So we have ultimately landed on collaborating with the College of Letters, Arts, & Sciences (CLAS) to use badges in their student success course for undecided students. We are working with our GA and ARL CEP Fellow to have them create and design these badges, and there will be 4 available to students in this program to introduce them to research.
This brings up the discussion also then of using badges with the Framework versus the Standards. I was able to design badges, that required instructor feedback and communication (not automated), to teach students about scholarship as conversation, research as iterative, and other frames. It was totally possible. But when we needed to shift badges to automated for our large pilot (and CLAS has over 1,000 students), this isn't really possible. And it has nothing to do with what is better, the Framework or the Standards--I do like the Framework better, FYI--but pedagogically, instructor feedback and interaction with students is going to be more effective and have a greater impact (that's my opinion, at least).
I do think badges are great for student success purposes and for engagement. Badges contribute to how a one might want to project their identity. After discussions on campus about badging stemming from the pilot I did, badges are being used in a large-scale student engagement initiative that's essentially related to AAC&U High Impact Practices. I think this is a great way for students to track what more holistic experiences they are having on campus and can help them conceptualize what they've done. When it comes to classroom instruction or information literacy initiatives, I think the use of badges gets more tricky and a number of factors need to be considered. And I prefer more fluidity in instructional design and collaborations with faculty that badges anchoring curriculum can't provide.
Now, one of those factors that always seems to pop up when badges are discussed is employer needs and employer impressions of students' value as future workers. I recently wrote about the state of higher education and info lit instruction in the winter 2015 issue of Communications in Information Literacy: A Pedagogy of Inquiry, so you can get more context on where I'm coming from with that article. My entire perspective of badges since I first became interested was about improving pedagogy, badges as instructional design, and trying to give students more autonomy over how they might want to represent themselves and their learning. If the badges and the learning piqued employers' interest and helped students get jobs after graduating, that's great, but should not be the sole purpose of badging (or education!). This is one of the main problems I have with a recent article about badges for employers in the Jan 2016 issue of C&RL. The use of "critical information literacy" in the title is a bit misleading, but regardless, critical (as in essential, according to this article's use of the word) anything for instruction shouldn't hinge on what employers say they need. This post is already getting quite long, so do read my CIL article if you'd like more on that. As others had pointed out to me, some of the other problems with the article include: lack of citations to librarians who have already published and presented on badge-related topics (and the citation of my work is incorrect--we saw my article is the only one cited of librarians who have researched this, and is also described strangely, plus my name isn't even included in the citation); it's confusing why HR reps and not even hiring managers were interviewed; and why this particular methodology was chosen.
I'm writing this quickly before I do an ACRL webinar soon (to talk about our use of the Framework and how we are phasing out one-shots... which I would love to write more about sometime in the future), but I knew if I didn't make this post now I might not have time again for awhile. Here's hoping there aren't any glaring errors. And hoping more that this post was useful to those of you asking about what I've learned about badging and how we're using them here at the University of Arizona.

Cataract surgery is a popular and effective solution to deteriorating vision caused by eye cataracts. A cataract is an opacity or cloudiness in the eye's lens which is located behind the iris and pupil. During surgery, the surgeon removes the cloudy lens and replaces it with an artificial lens called an inter-ocular lens.
Cataracts primarily affect people over 40 and are the leading cause of blindness the world over. They form from a misalignment of proteins which make up an eye lens. When these proteins adhere to each other incorrectly, they produce cloudy areas that grow over time. While advancing age is the primary cause of cataracts, other factors which contribute to their formation have been identified by ocular researchers. These include:
- Smoking
- Eye injury
- Eye inflammation
- Use of corticosteroids
- UV radiation
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Obesity
- Cholesterol reducing statins
- Heredity
- Hormone replacements
- Alcohol use
- Myopia
There are two main types of cataract surgery procedures: phacoemulsification and laser.
Phacoemulsification involves using ultrasound waves to break up the formed cataract. The cataract pieces are then gently suctioned out of the lens capsule. A new, artificial lens, one that is clear, is inserted and positioned precisely where the cloudy lens used to be.
Advances in technology have provided other options other than the mono-focal lens used previously in phacoemulsification procedures. An inserted Toric lens can also correct distance vision while a multi-focal inter-ocular lens (IOL) corrects both near- and far-sightedness.
Laser technology, the exact technology used in Lasik surgeries, can also be used to remove cataracts. This technology, known as femtosecond laser technology, uses an accurate, predictable and safe laser to make the corneal incision, gain access to the cataract through the lens capsule, and break up the cataract tissue for easy removal. Using a laser also makes it less likely that the inner eye gets damaged during cataract removal which reduces the incidence of complications such as those associated with detached retinas.
Both types of cataract surgery are effective, with traditional cataract surgery having more performed procedures over time. Laser cataract surgery is on the cutting edge of technology and the additional costs associated with the technology are not generally covered under Medicare or private health insurers.

As you're probably aware, today is December 12th, 2012.
The 12/12/12 date has gotten notice for plenty of reasons, including a football angle. Earlier this year, the Wisconsin state Legislature named 12/12/12 "Aaron Rodgers Day" in the state to honor the Packers quarterback who wears the No. 12.
Rodgers got a proclamation in May announcing the day from Jennifer Brilowski, a Stevens Point, Wisconsin woman who started a Facebook page to drum up support for using the day to honor Rodgers. Brilowski and others are also asking people to donate money to Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer Fund supported by Rodgers, which seems like a nice way for any Packers fans commemorating their quarterback's big day.
WGBA in Green Bay has a list of other observances, including a bar's attempt to set a record for the most Rodgers jerseys in one location.

Today I'm very pleased to be able to share with you the cover for my next Choc Lit novel, The Gilded Fan – I'm really thrilled with this one and love the Oriental feel of it, which was exactly what I wanted!
Seeing a new cover for the first time is very exciting and I don't think I'll ever tire of that part of the publishing process. I love watching it take shape, from the original ideas, through several draft concepts, to the final polished result.
The Gilded Fan is the sequel to The Scarlet Kimono, and I think it's especially important to get the cover right when a novel belongs together with another book (or books). They need to be different, but still similar, and in this case, I think the cover artist has succeeded in doing that superbly. Hope you agree!
Here is the blurb:-
How do you start a new life, leaving behind all you love?
It's 1641, and when Midori Kumashiro, the orphaned daughter of a warlord, is told she has to leave Japan or die, she has no choice but to flee to England. Midori is trained in the arts of war, but is that enough to help her survive a journey, with a lecherous crew and an attractive captain she doesn't trust?
Having come to Nagasaki to trade, the last thing Captain Nico Noordholt wants is a female passenger, especially a beautiful one. How can he protect her from his crew when he can't keep his own eyes off her?
During their journey, Nico and Midori form a tentative bond, but they both have secrets that can change everything. When they arrive in England, a civil war is brewing, and only by standing together can they hope to survive…
The Gilded Fan – coming February 2013

A bit farther north, an experience that used to be mellow - a day at the races - has become numbing. Saturday, Gulfstream Park, the home of Florida's finest thoroughbred racing, hosted more than its typical number of sun-seeking visitors who like to play the horses and watch them in person. Never mind that most of the crowd huddled deep in the bowels of the building at slot machines or spent time stuffing mouths with high caloric fuel from an obnoxious buffet. Understanding that eating mountains of food doesn't equate to satisfaction of the palate is a concept that sailed out to sea in a cruise ship.
Not much is accommodating about Gulfstream in terms of creature comfort. The lines at the parimutuel windows are tediously long because of their remoteness and number. The seats in the grandstand are limited and cramped by an architectural design that placed saving ahead of investing. Ingress and egress cause distress. It's near impossible to read the odds shown in the infield, especially when the sun takes a spot at your back and douses the toteboard with brilliance. If nature doesn't interfere with the display's readability, then the thick stucco pillars that lift up the roof block your view.
Regardless, for as wildly as Frank Stronach's erred with his grand restoration, he's managed to get an important part right. Horse racing's no longer the "Sport of Kings" but the "Sport of the Proletariat." Redesigning a racecourse, or replacing one from scratch, requires an understanding of your audience. It's a skill that's not easily learned by people in ivory towers who don't walk the streets. The age of lavish plants, serving a privileged class in luxury, is apparently over. New York racecourses would kill to have as many warm bodies for next Saturday's Gotham as Gulfstream had for its Fountain of Youth, a stakes with a name that aptly describes how the czar of car parts has revitalized the sport by dumb sizing it.
There are racetrack properties that derive their popularity because they present the established, traditional experience. The most notable are Saratoga nd Keeneland. Observers used to believe that Gulfstream was that kind of racecourse, too. With its long history of Kentucky Derby preps compacted into three winter months, it was the sport's ultimate escape - a proper venue for assessing the relative abilities of the nation's best three-year-olds, a place deserving of reverential observance. What is is now - now that the world has become "let me be myself" lazy - is an equine pachinko parlor. Give Stronach credit to see us for who we are. Many people see us differently.
Burdened by obesity, we can't button a fancy shirt at the neck or cinch a belt on our waistline. Afraid to think because life doesn't require it, we fill our heads with cacophony, believing quiet is for those who are boring. The A.D.D.world that dictates daily behavior has us believing that patience is time wasting. If something requires sacrifice, we pass on it. The value of enterprise rests in how much money can be made, and so businesses that are built to help people and serve customers are often plowed over.
It's a snap to write about what's wrong with Gulfstream; a little tougher to defend the features that have made it successful. You can begin with the weather. People simply want to be where it's warm when it's cold where they normally are. That's what brings the very best horses and trainers and jockeys here. This makes one wonder also why Stronach believes Gulfstream can race 'round the calendar. The dates fight between the owners of Calder and him merely makes him look bully-like - an image he can't seem to shed. The argument proves that he still hasn't learned the most basic lesson in luxury goods marketing - limit the supply of everything that's precious.
Like the old Gulfstream, most racecourses are wrong-suited for the sport's current constituency. Like the new Gulfstream, most racecourses should be smaller. Only people with over-starched attitudes, however, would prefer the pickled, un-democratized gathering places to one that's alive, albeit imperfect. Fans have become accepting of Gulfstream's foibles because they feel at home in the track's frat boy trappings. Stronach was smart to develop a village of retail establishments selling the same junk you can buy elsewhere next door. Familiar is preferred to the exotic these days. It may seem as though the horse is the least important ingredient in Stronach's brew, but it's not. Fans can cozy up to the action, if they care.
Whether you like Gulfstream or not depends on what you think a racetrack is. The worst part of leaving this Earth comes from leaving your memories. People who have been around racecourses for a long time treasure the flamingos at Hialeah and the street cars to Greenwood. It would be an enormous stretch to assume you'll remember anything fondly about being at Gulfstream - unless, of course, you remember it in green and pink, long and low to the horizon like an indigenous element, with the orchids in bloom and a Donn in charge.
Vic Zast is grateful to Dailyn at the Z Ocean Hotel on South Beach for assisting him in bringing this column to HorseRaceInsider.com when his computer screen went black and he was left helpless without the use of technology.

The risks from cyberspace (including the internet, wider telecommunications networks and computer systems) have been identified by the Government as a high priority risk. The UK is facing an ongoing, persistent threat from other states, terrorists and criminals operating in cyberspace.
In less than 16 years the number of global web users has exploded from 16 million in 1995 to more than 2 billion today. UK shoppers spent £5.2 billion online during August 2011 – up 14% on the previous year, and cyber-crime has been estimated in the billions per year globally, with untold human cost. Therefore we must act now to protect the value we place in cyberspace.
The Office of Cyber Security & Information Assurance (OCSIA) supports the Minister for the Cabinet Office, the Rt Hon Francis Maude MP and the National Security Council in determining priorities in relation to securing cyberspace. The unit provides strategic direction and coordinates action relating to enhancing cyber security and information assurance in the UK.
The OCSIA alongside the Cyber Security Operations Centre work with lead government departments and agencies such as the Home Office, Ministry of Defence (MoD), Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), CESG, the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) in driving forward the cyber security programme for UK government and give the UK the balance of advantage in cyberspace.
The new Cyber Security Strategy was published on 25 November 2011. It sets out how the UK will support economic prosperity, protect national security and safeguard the public's way of life by building a more trusted and resilient digital environment.

Selena Gomez Announces Mom's Pregnancy on Mother's Day [Pic]
Congratulations to Selena Gomez! She's going to be a big sister.
Gomez announced the news on Twitter yesterday, posting the above photo with the caption, "Hope all the amazing moms had a great day! I have the best momma in the world. I love you so much!" So cute!
It's a welcome bit of good news for Gomez and her family. The 'Come & Get It' singer's mom suffered a miscarriage in December 2011, leading Gomez to cancel a concert while she grieved the loss of what would have been her younger sister or brother.
No more details of the pregnancy have been announced yet, but considering how great Gomez was (or is, depending on the day) with on-again off-again boyfriend Justin Bieber's little siblings, you can bet she's going to be an amazing big sis. Congrats, Sel!

Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck on Friday evening quietly rescinded the department's car impound policy, a controversial set of rules Beck put in place last year to be more lenient on immigrants in the country illegally but that a judge found violated state law.
The move marked the latest setback for Beck in the long-running battle over the impound rules. In an interview Saturday the chief reiterated his belief that the policy — called Special Order 7 — was legal and necessary, saying that the recent court ruling that struck down the impound rules "undermines the authority of the police department to regulate the conduct of its officers."
Beck declined to say whether lawyers for the city would appeal the decision by L.A. County Superior Court Judge Terry Green. That, Beck said, was a decision for City Atty. Mike Feuer. Beck, however, signaled strongly that an appeal was likely, saying he "looks forward to the next phase of the judicial process."
Despite his disagreement with the judge, Beck said he had no choice but to rescind the impound policy in order to comply with Green's finding that it could not stand because it was in conflict with the state's vehicle code. Prior to Beck's move, it had been widely expected that city lawyers would try to keep Special Order 7 in place during the lengthy appeals process by asking a state appeals court to set Green's ruling aside pending their decision.
A spokesman for Feuer did not return calls seeking comment on whether the city attorney would still request the stay of Green's ruling from the appellate court. Michael Kaufman, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, which has joined the city in defending the impound rules, said his group would do so with or without the city's help.
Under the terms of Special Order 7, if officers stopped an unlicensed driver who met several requirements — including having auto insurance, valid identification and no previous citations for unlicensed driving — officers could no longer invoke the part of the state vehicle code that allowed them to confiscate the vehicle for 30 days, a punishment that came with fines and charges often exceeding $1,200.
In a city with an estimated 400,000 immigrants who are in the country illegally and forbidden by state law from obtaining driver's licenses, Beck and the LAPD's civilian oversight board, which approved the policy, argued that Special Order 7 was needed for moral and practical reasons.
The 30-day holds, they said, unfairly burdened such drivers, who often are poor and risk having cars seized that they need to drive to work or take their children to school. Beck said he expected the policy would encourage unlicensed drivers to take steps such as buying insurance to avoid the monthlong holds.
"It's not so much that I am a dove on immigration," Beck said in an earlier interview with The Times. "It's that I'm a realist. I recognize that this is the population that I police. If I can take steps — legal steps — to make them a better population to police, then I will."
The union that represents rank-and-file LAPD officers and Judicial Watch, a conservative-leaning watchdog organization based in Washington, sued over the policy, arguing that it improperly attempted to supersede the state's impound laws that give some discretion to officers on whether to use the 30-day hold on a car.
"I always believed that what the chief was doing was not the solution to a problem that I agree needs to be addressed," said Tyler Izen, president of the police union.
"Letting people drive without driver's licenses is reckless, and that's what he was trying to allow," Izen said.
Emphasizing that the union has not taken an official position on a bill passed this month by the state Legislature that would allow immigrants in the country illegally to receive licenses, Izen said, "We've made the decision that healthcare and education are humanitarian issues. We should make the decision whether a driver's license … is a humanitarian issue as well."
Beck issued a new directive Friday to replace the now-defunct impound rules. "The purpose of this notice is to provide guidance to officers when making a vehicle impound/removal decision concerning drivers without a valid license," he wrote on the department's internal computer network. In perhaps what was an indication that the city still plans to appeal Green's ruling, Beck added that officers should not adhere to Special Order 7 "until further notice."
The switch from the order returns some level of authority to officers when deciding on impounds but instructs them to take a common-sense approach spelled out in a legal principle called the Community Caretaking Doctrine. They should, Beck wrote, "take into account the 'totality of the circumstances' to determine whether an impound/removal is appropriate."
For example, Beck said, an impound is acceptable if there is no other way to prevent "the immediate and continued unlawful operation" of a car. However, according to the Caretaking Doctrine, if someone else in the car has a license or the unlicensed driver is already at his residence when he is pulled over, then the officer should not impound the car, Beck said.
The chief also tried to clarify for officers the multiple sections of the state vehicle code that authorize officers to use the 30-day hold in some cases and a less-severe impound in others, under which a driver can retrieve his car immediately.
Beck had said in the past that the various sections of the code were confusing and left unlicensed drivers at the mercy of individual officers, some of whom may take a more lenient approach than others.
"Officers should determine which statutory authority is most appropriate for the given circumstance," Beck wrote.

I was thrilled to co-host a bridal shower for my soon to be sister in law! I incorporated pink, red and black for a romantic but fun atmosphere. I made a centerpiece out of branches and hung different types of crystals and ribbons on it. We incorporated candles and crystals throughout the decor for a romantic ambiance.
I made a banner for the bride to be to sit in front of while she opened all of her gifts
We served pink chocolate covered strawberries, cucumber sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches and tasty pasta salad.
We also had the MOST delicious red velvet cupcakes that everyone loved!!!
I loved the mimosa bar that I had seen from The Party Dress and this was the perfect occasion to make one. I used pineapple, cranberry raspberry and orange flavors for the guests to choose from for the mimosas.
Another idea that I had remembered from The Party Dress was a He Said, She Said game. I asked both the bride and groom a variety of questions and then picked some of them for the game card. The guests all had fun choosing who they thought said the quote. This was a fun way for the guests to get a look at their thoughts about their upcoming marriage!
We asked the guests to bring a date night themed gift and the bride to be received a variety of fun ideas. I was so excited when I came across this free printable for a Can 'O Dates from The Dating Divas. I filled the can with date ideas from their site and also added a lot of my own ideas.
This was another great theme basket filled with items for an Asian style dinner.
As favors for the guests, I made daffodil bulbs wrapped in burlap. You can find the easy tutorial for this that I shared here.
It was wonderful to share this celebration with my very soon to be sister in law!!!

Detroit was the largest city of the state of Michigan in the United States of America, on the North American continent of Earth. Detroit played a major role in Earth's industrialization, and was a center of automobile manufacture for most of the 20th century.
In the mid-20th century, people, even those in rural areas, could hear about what was happening in this city on the radio. Though people might feel they were far from events, radio brought them in closer. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")
In 2004 three Xindi-Reptilians arrived from the year 2153, having been covertly transported through time by the Sphere-Builders. There, they attempted to construct a bio-weapon to use against the Humans. There, they engaged Loomis, an employee at a Detroit blood donors clinic, to obtain samples of all Human blood types in order to perfect the weapon. However, they were eventually stopped by Jonathan Archer and T'Pol of Enterprise NX-01, who had been transported there by temporal agent Daniels and Loomis was arrested by the Detroit Police.
In 2153, the only map of early 21st century Detroit that T'Pol managed to find in the Enterprise's database was from 2002. (ENT: "Carpenter Street") T'Pol's visit to Detroit tempered her skepticism on the concept of time travel. (ENT: "Azati Prime")
