The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur region
This property is just a few minutes walk to the beach and Promenade des Anglais. There are water sports available and many beach restaurants.

Positioned just on the perimeter of the Central Carre D'or of Nice, this apartment is within walking distance from all shops, cafès, banks and restaurants. There is a large supermarket in the next road. Secluded from the hustle and bustle of city life, this offers a contrast of two styles of living for the price of one!

"Charming apartment, close to everything"
I stayed here for a month, and it was perfect for me. I wanted something nice and quiet but close to everything. This apartment was all of those.
The apartment is comfortable and tastefully decorated. I love the owner's artwork and I felt very much at home here. It is a converted chapel so it has lots of character, including nice high ceilings, lots of windows that open out to let in the breeze and a cute café table. It feels very French! The apartment is a decent size, not huge, and is comfortable for 2 people. The kitchen has the basics you will need, including a full size refrigerator. There is a flat-screen TV with a few cable channels and a small table in the living room for eating.
Part of what I liked about living here is that you're in a building with local residents, so they're considerate and you don't have people partying around you. There's also a fairly private backyard or garden so you can sit outside and have your coffee or eat dinner. Even though you're in the city, when you're in the garden, you feel as though you're in the country.
The location is great – it's close enough to everything but not in the middle of the noisy touristy areas. I originally considered staying in Old Town, but once I got to Nice, I am really glad I chose this location because you get the best of both worlds – close to everything but a calm place to come home to. The beach, or Promenade, is 2 blocks away. You can take a bus into town, but I always preferred to walk, as you pass through the pedestrian zone with all the shops and restaurants, until you get to Place Massena. In all, it's about a half-hour walk to Old Town, which kept me in shape! You can get to restaurants and shops much quicker than that, though. And you can walk a few blocks in any direction and find grocery stores, discount stores, cafes, etc. - so if you don't want to be a tourist, you can also get more of a local feel of living here.
I enjoyed staying here and am definitely recommending this apartment to friends who are going to Nice.

Streets of Washington, written by John DeFerrari, covers some of DC's most interesting buildings and history. John is the author of Historic Restaurants of Washington, D.C.: Capital Eats, published by the History Press, Inc. and also the author of Lost Washington DC.
Around the turn of the last century city planners and others worried that the nation's capital did not have a suitably grand and dignified meeting hall where large assemblies and conventions could gather and celebrate the greatness of America. A spacious 6,000-seat convention hall had been built in Mount Vernon Square in 1875 (see our previous profile), but it was in the old red-brick Victorian style and too far removed from the Mall to satisfy the aspirations of the Beaux Arts generation. The new imperial, white-marble Washington, as envisioned by the McMillan Commission, needed a massive and powerful-looking auditorium with a forest of imposing classical columns lining its facade. At least Susan Whitney Dimock (1845-1939), a New York socialite, certainly thought so, and she made it her life's work to have such a meeting hall built. But despite endorsements from several presidents and countless other powerful people, the hall was never meant to be.
Postcard of the planned memorial from the 1920s (author's collection).
Dimock was born to the wealthy Whitney family of New York, the daughter of James Scollay Whitney (1811-1878). Two of her brothers became successful and powerful industrialists in an age of industrialists. She married Henry F. Dimock (1842-1911), a New York attorney who also became a prominent businessman, working in large part with Whitney family interests. Susan clearly wished to leave her own mark for the betterment of the country, and she set her sights on a memorial to George Washington—never mind that one already had been completed in 1884.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The Detroit Pistons signed centre Josh Harrellson to two-year contract for the league minimum with the team holding an option for the second season Wednesday.
Harrellson played sparingly in six games last season for the Miami Heat.
The 6-foot-10, 275-pound Harrellson was drafted by New Orleans out of Kentucky in the second round in 2011, then traded that night to the New York Knicks. Harrellson averaged 4.4 points and 3.9 rebounds in 14.6 minutes as a rookie and played in four playoff games during the 2012 playoffs with the Knicks.
The Pistons traded for point guard Brandon Jennings during their busy off-season and signed free agents Josh Smith, Chauncey Billups, Luigi Datome and re-signed Will Bynum.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.
1. Andrew Wiggins - Cavaliers
8. Nik Stauskas - Kings
18. Tyler Ennis - Suns
45. Dwight Powell - Hornets

Can Dumping Poison on the Farallon Islands Save It From Mice Overpopulation?
USFWS plans to shower world's most mice-infested archipelago with rodenticide-infused food pellets.
About 30 miles off the coast of San Francisco, the Farallon Islands are craggy, other-worldly outposts, a seasonal home to a variety of marine life such as elephant seals and sea lions, dozens of species of shore and seabirds, and a few government researchers. The archipelago, which is protected as congressionally designated wilderness area, serves as one of the last refuges for many of California's native nesting birds. Unfortunately, the Farallones also happen to have one of the largest mice populations of any island chain in the world, and the rodents are wreaking havoc on the islands' ecosystem. The rodents, mostly Eurasian house mice, have reached numbers exceeding 60,000. Southeast Farallon Island — the largest island in the chain and only island where scientists conduct research on the ground — has become so overwhelmed by mice in the past few years the ground is said to "move with mice" during peak breeding season.
Photo by Erik Oberg, Island Conservation
Researchers who stay on the island have told horror stories about going on bird counts at night and having the ground crawling with so many mice that one researcher stopped counting nest sites and started breaking mice necks with his bare hands.
Last year, the US Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS), which oversees the islands, and a handful of conservation nonprofits, came up with a plan to get rid of the pesky rodents called the South Farallon Islands Invasive House Mouse Eradication Project. The plan, which reviews 49 suggested ways of getting rid of the pest, concludes that the only way to get rid of the mice is by poisoning them.
How mice came to overrun the islands is something of a mystery. It is speculated that mice came with nineteenth century marine mammal hunters who inadvertently carried rodents aboard their boats. Looking for fatty seal meat and pelts from fur seals, many Americans and Russians took part in the trade. Towards the middle of the century, the islands also fell prey to egg collectors, who ended up decimating bird populations by the beginning of the twentieth century.
President Theodore Roosevelt signed an Executive Order in 1909 to protect the northern Farallon islands from these threats, which was extended to the southern patch of …more

Lettuce, From a Skyscraper Near You
Vertical farms are gaining traction from Illinois to Singapore, but questions remain about their role in urban agriculture.
Skyscraper farms seem like a thing of the future: Lettuce growing in windowless rooms under red-tinted LED lights while scientists check nutrient levels and calculate optimal harvest times. Basil plants stacked 10-feet high. Tilapia swimming in large troughs. While these images may contrast with our romantic notions of farming, the truth is that intensive indoor farming isn't just a sci-fi fantasy – but a thing of present. There are already indoor farms cranking out 10,000 heads of lettuce a day.
photo by Plant Chicago, on Flickr
During the past decade, enclosed vertical farms have popped up around the world, from Singapore, to Japan, to the United States. These farms strive to grow fresh produce in indoor settings and to fill gaps in local food production. In a world of rapid population growth, growing food insecurity, and global climate change, this type of innovation in agriculture seems like a good thing. But for all the promise that vertical farming may hold, it also raises serious questions about energy-use, food justice, and the fundamentals of how we want our food to be grown.
The first question is: What exactly constitutes a vertical farm? Indoor vertical farms come in many different shapes and sizes, but generally speaking, they are "vertical" because they stack plants from floor to ceiling (often in several stories of a building). Some are constructed in abandoned warehouses, while others, like the Plantagon under construction in Sweden, are stunning examples of modern architecture. Regardless of size and shape, they generally employ one of three technologies: aquaponics (growing plants adjacent to fish, and using the nutrient rich water from the fish tanks to fertilize plants), hydroponics (growing plants without soil, in sand, liquid, or some other solution), or aeroponics (growing food with roots suspended in the air).
Using these indoor technologies, farmers are able to grow food just about anywhere, allowing for "ultra-local" farming.
"There are a number of factors that go into the farm and why we do what we do, and the majority of it has to do with being able to provide local produce to people and to customers that otherwise, traditionally, especially in the Midwest, are getting products that are …more

Blue Whale Recovery Report Leaves Room for Caution
New study only relevant to the Eastern Pacific Ocean; other blue whale populations around the world remain severely depressed
A recent report that the blue whales along the California coast in the Eastern Pacific Ocean have recovered from the severe damage done to the population by commercial whaling, which continued up until the mid-1960s on these giants, has gone viral on the Internet. While the story is a positive one, there is room for some caution.
Photo by millerm217/Flickr
The headlines imply more scientific certainty about the findings than may be warranted, and blue whales still swim in an ocean with many dangers, including possible renewal of commercial whaling if some countries have their way. And, sadly, other populations of blue whales around the world remain severely depressed.
The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth, growing in the Eastern Pacific to a length of 80 to 90 feet. Their brethren in the Antarctic can exceed 100 feet and weigh up to 200 tons.
The increase in numbers over the years is not new news — whale-watchers, fishermen, and researchers have known for two decades that blue whales (along with gray whales and humpback whales) have increased in numbers offshore since the 1970s when interest in whales began to rise. Intense research with photo identification of blue whales to count the numbers has come to a conclusion that about 2,500 blue whales can be found in the Eastern Pacific from the equator to Alaska. Researchers photograph the blue whales on the surface and can identify individuals from coloration, scarring, and the shape and size of their small dorsal fins.
We know these whales can swim enormous distances, likely looking for feeding areas where their main prey, krill, are found in abundance, especially during the summer and fall months. They can communicate with each other using very loud low frequency sound, which can travel substantial distances in the ocean.
The new study from the University of Washington analyzed the historic records from whaling vessels of blue whale kills and, using computer models, estimated the original carrying capacity of the Eastern Pacific. They conclude the current population is around 97 percent of the historical carrying capacity, suggesting that the population has indeed recovered.
Of course, studies were never conducted on …more

End of the Road
The US Forest Service is beginning to decommission some of its roads, opening the way for a wildlife comeback
On a crisp afternoon last October, beneath a canopy of larch, lodgepole, and red cedar, Pete Leusch led me up a trail in the heart of the Yaak Valley, the densely forested corner of northwest Montana that remains one of the wildest ecosystems in the Continental United States. A steep mountain stream coursed to our left and the broad, star-shaped leaves of thimbleberry lined the path – "A little mushy, but just delicious," Leusch said of the berries. We picked our way around scattered clusters of elk pellets, nodded at the parallel scars that bears had etched in bark. The morning hung earthy and moist, like aerosolized mulch.
Leusch lowered his long, angular frame into a crouch to better examine a pine seedling that had thrust its head above the trail. "I'm really psyched about the way this is looking," he said, his eyes alight beneath the knitted purple beanie pulled low over his forehead. "This is a lot better than it was in spring. Last time I was here, this was all raw."
Without the commentary from Leusch, watershed restoration coordinator at the Yaak Valley Forest Council, it would have been impossible to tell that just a year ago, this wooded trail was a rutted logging road operated by the US Forest Service. Though the road had been officially closed for years, it had continued to inflict damage upon the stream below. As rivulets of water coursed down the adjacent slope and across the roadbed, they picked up loads of loose dirt, which was eventually deposited into the creek. Once in the watershed, the sediment could smother the eggs and spawning grounds of native westslope cutthroat and redband trout. Leusch and the Forest Service had identified the five-mile-long road as one of the most harmful in the Yaak.
That's why the time had come to destroy it.
If interstates are this country's arteries, Forest Service roads are its capillaries: its most minuscule, ubiquitous vessels. Although President Bill Clinton's 2001roadless rule protected nearly 60 million acres of national forest from logging and road-building, our forests are …more

$7.5 Billion California Water Bond Headed for the November Ballot
Voters must decide whether the bond can lead the state toward a sustainable water future
As California remains parched with drought, everyone's mind is on water – and that includes state lawmakers'. During the final days of the legislative session, both houses passed a $7.5 billion water bond with broad bipartisan support. The new legislation will be placed before voters this November.
Replacing an earlier $11.1 billion bond, the slimmer measure provides funding to water recycling, water storage, safe drinking water, watershed protection and restoration, and flood management, among other projects.
The question is: Will the bond improve water sustainability and prepare the Golden State for future droughts? Environmental groups are divided.
photo by Lyle Rains, on Flickr
A number of organizations – including the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and The Nature Conservancy – think the bond is a step in the right direction. " I think there are some really positive things about this bond, and potential for some really valuable investments," says Doug Obegi, a staff attorney with NRDC's Western Water Project.
In particular, Obegi points to the $1.5 billion the bond provides for water efficiency, water recycling, stormwater capture, and other local water supply projects. "If we were to create one or two million acre-feet of water from these projects, that would be a tremendous feat in California," he says. "I think [the bond] is a really important step forward, or at least it could be."
NRDC's California director, Ann Notthoff, echoes those sentiments. "California's drought brought a diverse set of interests together in support of a new bond that protects our environment and our economy, instead of one that creates a false choice between the two," Notthoff stated in a recent press release. "The new water bond proposal is the right response to this drought."
Although the bond's proponents boast of its broad support among agricultural, business, environmental, and labor groups, not everyone agrees the bond will take California in the right direction. Within the environmental community, the inclusion of $2.7 billion in the bond for surface and groundwater storage projects is particularly controversial, with several groups – including the Sierra Club and the Center for Biological Diversity – concerned that the money will fund construction of environmentally destructive dams.
"In general, I think that the bond really misprioritizes the water needs of California in the context of a drier …more

In Review: Disruption
Documentary film about upcoming People's Climate March hits all the right notes
In case you missed it (and I'm really hoping you haven't), environmental, labor and social justice groups are organizing what they promise will be the biggest climate march in history on September 21. Some 100,000 people are expected for a rally in Manhattan on the eve of a major climate summit at the United Nations, with similar marches planned for London, Rio de Janeiro, Melbourne, and Delhi. The groups behind the People's Climate March are running ad campaigns in the New York and London subways, plastering cities with leaflets and posters, and pounding the pavement as they make a final push for a big turnout. On Sunday night, organizers added a new weapon to their public outreach arsenal: A slick documentary film, Disruption, about the climate crisis and the citizen effort to push political leaders to finally, belatedly address the threat of an out-of-whack atmosphere.
I've never seen anything quite like Disruption. Of course, there have been plenty of climate change documentaries, Inconvenient Truth and Chasing Ice being standouts. Documentary films have helped spark movements (for example, Josh Fox's Gasland, about fracking) or bolster existing ones (see Food, Inc., Robert Kenner's Big Ag takedown). But Disruption seems to belong to a unique genre: A documentary produced with the single goal of mobilizing for a political march. It's like an infomercial for a rally. Perhaps this has done before and I just missed it. In any case, Disruption would seem to be in a league of its own – because, even though it's propaganda of a sort, the film is just so bloody good.
Filmmakers Kelly Nyks and Jared P. Scott have succeeded in creating a film that at once supplies an easy-to-understand rundown of the science of global warming; lays out the history of international leaders' half-hearted attempts to address the crisis; explains the political and psychological reasons for continued inaction; and offers a stirring call-to-arms for people to get off the couch and get into the streets. Disruption is like a unified field theory of climate change politics – delivered in a brisk 52 minutes that seems like far less.
The film is anchored by interviews with some of the progressive movement's leading luminaries. We hear from climatologist James Hansen, MSNBC host Chris Hayes, author Naomi Klein, CNN Crossfire host and Rebuild the …more

Managing a Wildly Popular Mountain as Wilderness
Visitors jostle to climb Yosemite's Half Dome. How the Park Service has protected an icon from being loved to death.
Amid the hubbub of Yosemite Valley — its roads packed bumper-to-bumper on a late-June weekend, its hotels and campgrounds booked solid six-months in advance — it was hard for Matt Lunder to believe he was surrounded by an immense tract of federally designated wilderness.
"It felt more like Disney World," admitted Lunder. An attorney from Maryland, Lunder and his family had decided to spend their summer vacation in the park, in the process contributing a few more drops to the sloshing bucket of Yosemite National Park's massive visitation, now topping out at four million people annually.
Photo by John Krzesinski
Several hours after leaving Yosemite Valley, and after many calories burned, Lunder stood at the base of the pale, curving slope of Half Dome's summit. He gazed upward at a pair of 800-foot-long steel cables bolted to the rock. He pulled on a pair of gloves, gave a shrug, and began the heaving, 20-minute climb up the 45-degree slope.
On top, Lunder leaned over the sheer north face of the peak to peer at the Yosemite Valley floor 5,000 vertical feet below. He could see relatively few signs of civilization between the dense canopy of ponderosa pine. The Curry Village parking lot was an exception, full of glinting specks of cars, along with the two-lane road tracing through Sentinel Meadow. Lunder could not see the hotel where he'd left his family that morning, nor the grocery store, nor the theater or stables or ice cream shop. He could hear the wind rush over the lip of granite and the low echo of Tenaya Creek rumbling almost a mile down. Ravens played on the upwellings of the pine-resined air. Lunder was sure he had entered a wild place.
"There is no doubt in my mind that this is wilderness," he said. "So much of the world these days just strokes our human egos. Wilderness reminds you just how small you are."
Mark Fincher, the wilderness specialist at Yosemite National Park, also believes wholeheartedly that Half Dome is wilderness, but due to a more pragmatic reason: Congress said so.
After the Wilderness Act passed in 1964, Congress assigned the National Park Service, along with all federal land management agencies, with the task of surveying their lands to …more

|Portrayed by
|Erin Foster
Sky Blue is the younger sister of Hayley, the lead singer of the band "The Blue Pill" in "Famous Last Words".
When Hayley turns up dead, Sky is one of a vast array of people with an apparent cause to wish her ill. Sky feels that Hayley lorded her talent over her (Sky), and was left with a feeling of betrayal by her death, since Hayley had promised her they would be a team again.
As would be expected of a recovering drug addict, Sky's words and actions are not always linear, and so she remains on the periphery of the potential suspect pool.
At the end of the episode, after Ian Busch is exposed as the murderer, Sky performs, with the rest of the band, a rendition of one of her sister's numbers, dedicated to Hayley Maria Blue.

Justin Bieber obviously didn't listen to David Letterman during his recent appearance on the late night T.V. legend's show. Letterman started giving the teen idol grief about his tattoos which then numbered only five. Only? In true "old fuddy-duddy" fashion, Letterman scolded Justin for what he considered an excessive amount of ink.
Justin rather perfunctorily but politely muttered something about "probably not getting any more tatts" in the future.Well, Letterman had better get ready to have another cow, because JB didn't keep his "promise." In fact, on July 4, the Biebs was spotted sporting his sixth tattoo.
Selena Gomez's man's new tatt is a small "Japanese Kanji symbol which means 'Music.' It's on the inside of his right forearm. The Kanji symbol "music" tattoo is Justin's sixth installment of permanent body art. Just last month he got his inner left forearm inked with the name of his album, BELIEVE, in large block letters. He also sports the Hebrew word for Jesus on his ribcage below his left armpit, a large "classic pic" of Jesus on his left leg, a pair of praying hands on his left calf right below the Jesus portrait tattoo, and a Jonathan Livingston seagull image on his left hip. The seagull tatt is "inked on many of the male members of the Bieber clan as a family tradition." His father, Jeremy Bieber has the same tattoo.
So, there you have it. If Justin Bieber continues to get his body permanently decorated at this rate, his new nickname will be "The Illustrated Man." Poor David Letterman.

March 14, 2009 This is it – our last day in Mexico. We arrived into the border town of Chetumal yesterday after a grueling 400-km jaunt across the southern part of the Yucatan peninsula.

Police say a patch of ice on the south loop near Utica caused an early morning accident that sent one person to the hospital Wednesday.
Not ice from rain or snow this time, but water run-off from a broken pipe attached to the sprinkler system at McGavock Nissan. The runoff iced the access road on the loop near Slide and Quaker. Police say the ice caused a two-car accident just after 7 a.m.
One person was taken to the hospital. The eastbound Quaker exit on Loop 289 was blocked off by police for a couple hours after that.
The City of Lubbock Codes Department issued McGavock Nissan a notice of violation.
McGavock Nissan did not want to go on camera, but they say they did not know their pipe had burst until the city notified them an hour after the accident. They say they immediately shut off the water source as soon as they were told and this incident was caused by something beyond their control, since cold temperatures froze and broke the pipe.
"If something breaks in the middle of the night and nobody knows about it until people start getting up in the morning, it's going to create a situation just like that. There is no way you can prevent something like that, so it's important to watch," said City of Lubbock Codes Administration Manager, Stuart Walker.
Tuesday the codes department issued four similar violations to businesses, not for broken pipes, but to people who left their sprinklers on. If there is a second violation, these businesses could face a fine.
The codes department reminds property owners to watch and turn off sprinklers and check pipes when temperatures drop.

Overview & Tasting Notes
Bright colour with a youthful green hue. The nose shows only a hint of toasty bottle age development behind its prominent citrus fruit profile. This wine already shows all the characteristics of a semi mature Hunter semillon, with its wonderful balance between youth and age. A core of citrus fruit, with the palate just starting to fill out with some bottle age and the acid beginning to soften into what is a seamlessly structured wine.
Awards & Accolades
2009 Stevens Single Vineyard Semillon has won a total of 21 awards.
Hunter Valley Semillon - you either get it or your don't so I'm pretty happy just to preach to the converted. It's the delicate one with subdued nose. Light, fine boned and ultra tight with squeezed lime, a slight grassiness and a well scrubbed fresh faced sort of cleanliness.It's the classic restrained line and length style of Semillon, youthful and vigorous yet curiously approachable as a young wine. There's no doubt that it will age particularly gracefully mind you, and that its best years are a long way ahead of it. A classic vintage.
92 points
With its fresh lime and lemongrass lift, clean-cut acidity and moderate alcohol, this vineyard's lineage suggests that with a little patience in the cellar it will develop complex tones of toasted nuts, honey and preserved lemon.

The Master Cleanser, otherwise known as the lemonade diet, has been getting a lot of press recently since Beyonce Knowles admitting to using the crash diet to lose 20 lbs for her role as Dina in the hit movie "Dreamgirls." The former Destiny's Child singer states she was motivated to shed the pounds "to go the extra mile."
She reportedly told China Daily, "Back in the sixties, models like Twiggy were popular and I knew Deena would have been thin then, so even though I really love eating, it was necessary to lose weight really fast because we shot Deena at 16 and Deena at 36 two weeks apart."
The Master Cleanser, also known as the "Master Cleanse diet", "lemonade diet", "lemonade fast", "Master Cleanser lemonade fast" and the "maple syrup diet", was popularized by Stanley Burroughs as a way to cleanse, detox and lose weight. Far from being a "detox diet" the master cleanser actually causes a build up of toxins. Please see the dangers of the Master Cleanser.
According to Beyonce, "My nutritionist suggested the only way to do that was the (lemonade diet) fast." "I would never recommend it to anyone unless you are doing a movie and it's necessary, and you have proper help. There are ways to lose weight healthily if you want to lose weight, but this was for a film." Not surprisingly, she states she " was cranky" on the diet, while those around her, on the set, scarfed down Krispy Kremes.
As a weight loss solution the Master Cleanse, and all fasting-type diets, wreaks havoc on your metabolism and your body. By going into starvation mode, your body shuts down not only using available fat stores for energy, but also breaking down significant amounts of metabolically active muscle for fuel. This slows your metabolism, making your body more efficient at putting on fat when you go off the diet. This perpetuates the yo-yo dieting pattern, as dieters go on and off diets only to regain more weight later. She adds "As soon as it was over, I gained the weight back."
Here's the latest photo of Beyonce, when she preformed on the CBS early show in March. Do you think she weighs more now, than before the fast?Tags: Beyonce Knowles Weight Loss, Diet, Celebrity, Celebrity Diets, Celebrity Weight Loss, Fasting Diet, Lemonade Diet

This publication explores the scale and scope of art and artifact materials held by ARL member libraries, which tools and techniques the libraries currently use to manage these collections (including those used by library staff only and those used to make information about these collections available to the public), and whether there is evidence of a convergence of library, archive, and museum practices in the management of these collections.
ARL today released Research Library Services for Graduate Students (PDF), the second report in the New Roles for New Times series. This series highlights the transformation of the library workforce to address new challenges for research libraries in serving 21st-century students, educators, scholars, and researchers.
The ARL Committee on Diversity and Leadership has selected 21 fellows to participate in the 2013–2014 Leadership and Career Development Program (LCDP). The LCDP is an 18-month fellowship program that prepares mid-career librarians from traditionally underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups to take on increasingly demanding leadership roles in research and academic libraries.
Columbia University Libraries (CUL) has announced the recipients of the inaugural Digital Centers Internship Program, jointly funded by the libraries and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Six Columbia graduate students have been awarded internships aimed at facilitating the collaboration between grad students, librarians, and technologists. These positions are rooted in research support activities in the humanities, science, and social science digital centers.
ARL has published Organization of Scholarly Communication Services, SPEC Kit 332, which explores how research institutions are currently organizing staff to support scholarly communication services, and whether their organizational structures have changed since 2007, when member libraries were surveyed about their scholarly communication education initiatives.

|R. Kelly singles chronology
"Ignition (Remix)" is a song written and produced by American R&B singer R. Kelly from his 2003 album Chocolate Factory. It is viewed as one of his most well-known songs and has been popular in the United States, Europe and Oceania.
The song was R. Kelly's second number-one single in the UK Singles Chart, following "I Believe I Can Fly" in 1997.[1] It was later included on the updated version of Rolling Stone's 500 greatest songs of all time in 2010 at number 494. The song was listed at #19 on Pitchfork Media's top 500 songs of the 2000s.
Song structure[edit]
The song is sometimes called simply "Ignition" colloquially and for marketing purposes, including as the title of one of its releases as a single and on the Billboard charts. While it shares the song title with the original version of "Ignition," the remix version is most commonly referred to in writing to avoid confusion with the original. The two songs share some instrumental elements (guitars and percussion) but are otherwise completely different.
The original "Ignition" was released first to urban contemporary radio stations although it never officially charted on Billboard in this manner at first. At the end of the song, Kelly gives the listeners "a lil' preview of the remix", which includes only the first verse then fades out. The "remix to Ignition" was released weeks later to urban and top 40 pop stations which gained the most attention. While many stations never played the original but opted for the remix only, others played both "Ignition"(s) merged at 6 minutes total; it was structured that way on the Chocolate Factory album.
Music video[edit]
The music video was shot in a club where Kelly is seen wearing a Celtics jersey. The club is meant to be the inside of a stretch Club Jeep limousine. He is also seen in a different part of the club wearing a white fur coat. Nick Cannon is also featured in the music video as the DJ. David N. Feldman also makes a cameo as the dancing white hipster.
Chart performance[edit]
"Ignition (Remix)" was a huge success for Kelly. It peaked at #2 for five consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 behind 50 Cent's In da Club and became his most successful song in the United States in the 2000s. It held the #1 spot in the United Kingdom for four weeks, becoming his second number-one hit there.[1] In April 2013, the song re-entered the UK charts at #43. It also reached #1 in Australia and New Zealand.
A portion of Michael Jackson's Private Home Movies, a 2003 compilation of home movies which Jackson recorded throughout his life and narrated, showed him dancing to "Ignition (Remix)" in the back of Brett Ratner's car during a 2003 vacation in Miami, Florida.[2] Kelly, who claimed to have been unsuccessfully asked by Jackson to write a song similar to "Ignition (Remix)" for Jackson's use, later stated in 2009 after having seen the clip on the Web that "I cried when I first saw it on YouTube[...]I've written a lot of songs, I've been around the world, and I've won all kinds of awards and everything else, but[...]nothing told me, I didn't know I had made it until I saw Michael Jackson in the back of that car singing and dancing to my song 'Ignition'. That's when it became official. I've been in the business for over 20 years, but that's when it became official to me that Kels is here, baby.[3] "
The popular comedy central sketch comedy show Chappelle's Show had a famous skit featuring a parody of the song called "Piss On You" which made fun of the R. Kelly sex tape and legal trials that were making headlines at the time.
In March 2013, a petition was launched on We the People requesting that the US National Anthem be changed from The Star-Spangled Banner to "Ignition (Remix)",[4] stating that "We, the undersigned, would like the Obama administration to recognise the need for a new national anthem, one that even a decade after its creation, is still hot and fresh out the kitchen."[5]
In 2014, Robbie Williams featured an acapella version of Ignition (Remix) as part of his 'Swing Both Ways' arena tour.

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Friday, August 17, 2012
I've posted this recipe before (and it's in the first Steamy Kitchen Cookbook) but I've just made a video showing you how to cook Chinese Beef Broccoli. It's a super short 1:38 minute video.
I'll even tell you my super secret ingredient for Chinese Beef Broccoli in the video. Also, I'm using the Steamy Kitchen wok that we just launched. It's a nonstick wok with a cast iron interior layer and enamel outer layer. I'm using an induction burner – the wok works on gas, electric and induction!
For those who think you can't sear or brown meats in a nonstick pan – I'm here to prove you wrong! YES YOU CAN. I'll show you how.
Chinese Beef Broccoli Recipe
The secret ingredient in this dish is Chinese black vinegar. If you don't have this, substitute with young, unaged balsamic vinegar. The aged, good quality balsamic vinegar is too sweet - so make sure you get the cheaper, young balsamic.
To keep this dish vegetarian, replace the beef with fresh, thick, meaty shitake mushrooms (cut in half) or even sliced portobello mushrooms.
TO CUT FLANK STEAK ACROSS THE GRAIN: in the middle of this post for Flank Steak with Goat Cheese Recipe, I have a couple of photos showing you exactly how to cut flank steak across the grain. This is an important step because flank and skirt steak both are very tough cuts -- however -- if you cut it correctly, the steak becomes incredibly tender. Make sure you don't skip this step!
Ingredients:1/2 pound flank or sirloin steak
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound broccoli, cut into bite-size florets
1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil (canola, vegetable, rice)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
2 teaspoons Chinese black vinegar (or young balsamic vinegar)
1. Slice the flank steak ACROSS the grain. In a bowl, combine the beef with the soy sauce, cornstarch and black pepper. Marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the Stir-Fry Sauce.
3. In a wok or large saute pan, add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Add the broccoli and cover to steam for 3 minutes. The broccoli should be bright green, crisp tender and you should be able to pierce the stem with a fork. Drain.
4. Discard the water in the wok and dry the pan well. Set the pan over high heat, swirl in the cooking oil. When the wok is hot, add the marinated beef, use your tongs to spread the beef out all over the surface of the wok in one layer. Let beef cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes, until nicely browned. Flip the beef, again spread the beef out over the wok and brown the other side.
Push the beef aside and add in the garlic and ginger. Stir fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Then mix together with the beef.
5. Pour in the Stir-fry Sauce and stir to combine. Simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 seconds. Add the cooked broccoli back into the wok and toss to coat well.
This recipe is what encouraged me to buy oyster sauce for the first time ever. Still one of my favorites, thanks for sharing the recipe!
Great video! Nice to see the cooking in action. Your voice and explanations flowed so smoothly. Would love to see you do more videos.
In the photo it looks like there are ginger coins. Also the broccoli looks steamed rather than mixed with the meat/sauce.
Nice video, Jaden. Really, I mean wow.
I make this recipe at least twice if not more a month. It truly is a winner and is fast, easy, and delicious. This reminds me I should try more of your recipes in your cookbook.
I have made this recipe several times. It is a family fave!
Video looks pretty easy–think I can do this:) Deanna,the broccoli is steamed in the video.
Thank you!
This is a staple of mine. Love it. I'll have to order some Chinese black vinegar online.
One of Trevor's favorites, I'll have to try this version. I think Sunshine Market carries the black vinegar here in Knoxville.
I just made this tonight for dinner and it was great! To be a lil healthier though I used turkey cutlets….I was a bit confused w/the black vinegar. In my area there are Asian markets galore…and I couldn't find it. Though I looked for something that EXACTLY said black vinegar. I understand it could also be replaced with a brown rice vinegar? I wasn't sure so I played it safe with balsamic…did add dry roasted peanuts. OTHER THAN THESE couple things I followed everything to a T – very easy and scrumptious.
That is a very mouthwatering substance and the ingredients sound amazing! I'll definitely have to try this recipe out, thanks for posting!
My family LOVES Beef with Broccoli. I am making this for dinner tonight! Thanks for taking the mystery out of Asian cuisine, Jaden!
Do you have a preferred brand of oyster sauce?
ever heard of food photography? sheesh.
The photos in this look perfectly beautiful. No need to be rude
My mom's version is a favourite!
I live in China and I was looking for new recipes and this one is a must try. Thanks
I learned how to make this beautiful dish tweny years ago in Chinese cooking class (I am not Asian but love the food). In order to destroy any bacteria, I blanch the broccoli in boiling water for a minute, then run it under cold, running water for a minute to stop the cooking. The broccoli keeps if not enhances its gorgeous color and is more digestible for the over-40 crowd. During Lent, I have prepared this dish without meat, just increased the amount of broccoli, or cube some Tofu and add it.
Most of all, so far I have never added the black vinegar, instead I increase the oyster sauce and sherry (not cooking cherry but pale dry cocktail sherry).
Off to the market, I'm salivating.
I just finished making this and was so disappointed. First off, didn't have the black vinegar but un-aged balsamic was suggested as a substitute so I used that. I didn't have rice wine so used rice wine vinegar…perhaps that was the problem; the two vinegars. The soy sauce was sodium reduced. Is that an issue? I have a very nice J.A. Henkel's stainless steel stirfry pan. I did everything as instructed. Had made brown rice. Put the beef broccoli mixture on top of the rice and couldn't wait to eat it. Well, it tasted awful. All I could taste was the oyster sauce and I can't seem to get that taste out of my mouth! I soooo wanted this to work and totally expected it to work. I found there was not NEARLY enough of the soy sauce/cornstarch & pepper mixture to coat the meat. Also, the stir fry sauce didn't seem adequate either. Anyone have any suggestions?
This looks yummy and easy. Thanks for sharing.
The last time I tried beef & broccoli was the PF Changs imitation recipe. Lets say that was #epic #fail. I already have one recipe for this weekend, but I have this bookmarked for my future cooking endeavors. This looks really good though

What can Osteo Bi-Flex plus MSM do for you? Osteo Bi-Flex works by providing the nourishment your body needs to help build cartilage, lubricate and strengthen your joints.* As we age, the body is less able to maintain the supportive cartilage structures surrounding joints and bones. Cartilage tends to break down over time, and the space between your joints can narrow. Osteo Bi-Flex works to lubricate joint surfaces, supporting comfortable movement.* Why take Osteo Bi-Flex? Osteo Bi-Flex is the #1 doctor recommended brand. Our formula is manufactured under the strictest standards for product purity and potency using naturally-sourced Glucosamine and Chondroitin. What can I expect? Glucosamine is a major building block of joint cartilage, which helps to maintain the structural integrity of joints and connective tissue.* Chondroitin is a naturally occurring nutrient found in connective tissue. MSM is a natural source of sulfur, a mineral that is vital in the formation of collagen, connective tissue and healthy joint cartilage.* Individual results may vary, but when taken every day as directed, you may begin to notice results in as little as 4 to 6 weeks.
