Making you look good This camera is full of thoughtful touches that are just itching to make the photograper look like a pro. First, there's a high-speed autofocus that excels in picking out your subject from its background. Face detection, smile detection, and overall automatic scene detection modes take it from there, ensuring that all you'll capture is the fun of the day. Front row? Right this way The 10X optical zoom on the sharp Sony G lens is enough magnification power to take you a long way, but combine it with Sony's intelligent, interpolating Clear Image digital zoom and you can zoom up to 20X, while still capturing crisp, resonant shots. With an 18-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor on-board, this is a camera that knows how to make the most of what light the lens gathers.

Pros: Great overall camera Cons: None so far Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-WX150 Written By Linda J, Brainerd, MN on Monday, January 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am happy with this camera. I chose it based on professional review research on the internet. I was tired of inferior grade pictures from cameras I've blindly bought at local stores. I am not a professional and do not want to learn how to adjust everything manually for a good picture so was looking for the best quality "auto-focus" camera that I could afford. The features that I was most concerned about were clear pictures; anti-blue; simplicity & speed. Pros: takes very good, clear pictures; speed is better than any camera I've owned; anti-blur feature is great Cons: Was trying to take indoor pictures at night but the lighting on the photos didn't seem accurate - in fact, I noticed some pictures had a warm, "yellow" hue while others had a clear, "blue" hue, (as in light bulb hues) - I'm wondering if it's because I use fluorescent light bulbs throughout my home? Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony DSC-WX150 The Great.. Written By Knobster, Santa Clara, CA on Saturday, January 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have use many digital cameras in the last 15 years from Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Pentax you name it. Depending on the application you might need three different types of cameras for three different jobs. For example I always like the picture quality of Canon and Fuji cameras for still pictures. Now for HD videos I like Panasonic and Sony cameras with the AVCHD features for stunning video quality. So that's two camera right there alone. The new Sony DSC-WX150 puts it all in a small compact package so there no need to have three cameras 1. A HD camcorder. 2. A small compact point and shoot general purpose camera. 3 A full size SLR for professional photos. This little camera does all those things very well. Now there will always be those hardcore photographers that might say otherwise, but for a well-balanced compact camera you just can't beat it. Pros: Stunning picture quality, Videos are true HD and you could still use the zoom feature in video mode. Price is around $225 performance to price ratio you just can't beat it with a stick. Cons: The only thing that's even remotely bad about this camera is the zoom is only 10x However is a small compact , and that's about all you would expect from a compact. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Hit and Miss, Mostly Miss! Written By Joe, Canton, OH on Wednesday, October 31, 2012 My Canon is as dependable as the day is long. I know its limits, and I know that I can count on it take decent focused, non-blurry pictures just about every time, unless I try something stupid like zooming all the way out at night. Indoors and out I never miss a shot of my kids even when they are moving AND I am moving... unless it is due to the shutter lag or flash recharge time. I assumed a modern Sony with the stabalizaiton system they brag about and the incredible array of settings they bombarded it with could at least be reliable, even if I didn't like the tone like I do the Canon. Wrong. It can not catch my kids at any setting. No blur setting is probably the worst- very blurry pix. Hi ISO- blurry. I tried every setting, even with flash where it is allowed by the camera, and I can not find one that takes consistently non-blurry pix. And my kids aren't doing jumping jax- I mean maybe they open their mouth or turn their head. I am getting about 1/10 good shots. Those ones tend to be stellar. But that's a pretty bad ratio, and I'd prefer the solid good 9.8/10 of my Canon. Also, I agree with the review titled "so-so" about so many things. They do look incredibly over-processed (when you finally get a non-blurry shot). It looks like a painting. I would like to hope studying the manual and learning the ins and out of the thing will help, but I must admit I have tested it pretty rigorously. I truly with I'd bought another Canon. Pros: The blue metal one is undeniably pretty When it nails it, it nails it (that just isn't very predictable or often) crazy long zoom in a tiny box like the setting that makes it b&w with only one selected color video quality looks great- much better than the pix- maybe I'll leave it on that and frame grab so I can get some decent shots! continuous mode takes plenty of shots fast (but most are unusable b/c of blur) colors quality seems pleasing & pix are sharp when not blurred or unfocused Cons: when you use settings that (attempt to) make it functional like intelligent auto, anti-blur, low-light, etc shot-shot time is slow- negates speed advantage cheap, tiny, hard to use dial to choose settings from digital display- VERY awkward and slow b/c of the fragility of it inconsistent performance (or consistently poor with flashes of brilliance!) over-processed images look sharp but fake Blur- can not catch my kids with the slightest movement no "kids & pets" ("pets" doesn't work for kids 4 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No So-so Written By Gene, Hawaii on Tuesday, October 09, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought the camera as an upgrade to a few year old Panasonic point and shoot of similar size. I went with the Sony because of it's supposed speed and better low light abilities and 1080 video. The low light photos are better, but with way too much noise reduction. They look like paintings in many shots. The video is much better. The 10X zoom is convenient. But the camera is not all that fast. There's no sport scene option. The super intelligent auto mode takes forever to process every photo taken. The P mode suffers from poor and inconsistent exposures. The AF tracking has a mind of its own. It rarely hits and tracks what you want it to unless you're zoomed in or really close so nothing else is in the frame. It needs to start in the middle of the frame to make it easier to track what you want. Continuous shooting is limited to 10 frames. Processing is slow. The zoom control scales WAY too fast. Nearly impossible to get the zoom you want, plus it flies through to the "intelligent" zoom way to easy. The OIS is not that effective especially in video. The screen I would rate as below average. Very difficult to see in the day and not very sharp for 460K. It also smudges something awful and is difficult to clean. The build is really lightweight flimsy feeling plastic. Which is good and bad. Good that it's really light, bad in that it doesn't feel like it will last long. My Panasonic is mostly metal and not that much heavier. I've run out of room but the list goes on.... Pros: Light. Photos are OK for the price. Video is decent. Cons: From the above review too many to list apparently. But for the price I wasn't expecting much and got what I was really expecting. I wish I had the money for the RX100 instead. 3 stars based on price I guess and compared to what else is available. 2 stars on performance/photo quality etc.... There're reasons why I own a D700 and DSLRs continue to sell well. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Camera Written By Sony Fan, Osceola, WI on Tuesday, August 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I needed to replace our old digital camera that had many miles on it. I have two small kids and taking the picture quickly is often the difference between capturing a good picture and a blurry mess. I am no expert in photography, but this camera has many features for the amateur. There are a few features that help to set this camera apart. First it has a quick shutter so you can capture moments in motion clearly. You can also take a series of pictures in succession so you can choose the best option. I also enjoy the panorama option and the 10x zoom. Pros: Zoom, quick shutter, 10 snap shots in 10 seconds. Cons: Battery life. 9 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No amazing point and shoot Written By snapshot Dave, Santa Barbara, CA on Monday, August 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to use with a large number of special effects that are easy to access. I like the smooth skin for portraits and watercolor effects especially. Great lens with 10x optical. I get more pictures with a camera available in my pocket than carrying a large one around my neck. This camera takes many pics of the same quality. 14 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs Fun to use, right out of the box Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 6/11/2012 11:51:00 AM I found this little camera quite appealing. The menu was simple, with some basic functions moved to buttons along the side. The scroll wheel made it easy to move through functions, and there are enough auto settings to get you through most any type of vacation (you can even shoot in "underwater" mode). Although lightweight, the body had a nice, sturdy feel to it. And the screen displayed my potential shots with clarity and good color contrast. Point and shoot and play! What are the Labs?

ACRL & Community Colleges
However, as I peruse the schedule and look at the affiliations of the presenters (listed in the January issue of College & Research Libraries News), I count only two community colleges. Subsequent editions of the schedule may have brought changes*, but I doubt that number has altered substantially. The bulk of the presenters are from four-year colleges and universities.
So kudos to the librarians at Cleveland State Community College and the Borough of Manhattan Community College, but where are the rest of us? Are we not as smart as the college and university librarians? Were all of our proposals rejected? Or did we not write any proposals, because our abilities to find funding to attend the conference are so bleak? Will I see us at the poster sessions? Also worrisome is the fact that I don't even see any panel sessions where a community college collaborated with a university/college. Does this imply utter disconnect?
A consequence of this under-representation is that community colleges are in the position of following rather than leading. I struggle to understand how this benefits them.
Community colleges are unique in many ways. As teaching institutions, community college faculty are not held to the same publishing expectations as elsewhere, and this is equally true for community college librarians. Without incentive, community colleges do not typically pursue monies to fund research, so community college librarians rarely get to contribute to ground-breaking, highly-publicized projects. Also, the open door policy of most community colleges means that remediation is a constant issue, along with the shifting sands of local, state, and federal support.
At the same time, community and junior colleges are undeniably a significant part of the higher education landscape in this country, and any organization that aims to "serve the information needs of the higher education community and to improve learning, teaching, and research" has an obligation to include them.
I must be missing something, right?
* Looking at the copy of the program I received at the conference, I now count an additional 2 panel sessions, both involving collaboration with colleges & universities. I also count 5 roundtable discussions, 1 unconference event, and 3 poster sessions hosted by community colleges. This perhaps makes our numbers a bit more respectable, but they are still low.
3 comments:
You're probably right in that it has a lot to do with the research/publishing requirements of community college faculty compared to 4-year college faculty. At my professional conferences, there's more of an even split between CC and 4-year personnel, as the research expectations are about the same for non-faculty administrators at both places.ReplyDelete
Agreed. Now that I'm officially on the tenure track I definitely feel a lot more pressure to present, write and so on. But this is a serious problem, because community colleges are hugely important, and you're right that collaboration among community colleges and four years matters... Hmm. Shall we collaborate for 2013? Plenty of time to think of something. Of course we are not in the same system, but...ReplyDelete
Nancy, I'm right there with you! Let's see if we can come up with something brilliant for 2013. Indianapolis, Indiana anyone?ReplyDelete
In the meantime I'm gravitating toward a regional study, of community college libraries & learning resource centers in New Jersey. I really don't know anything about us as a group, and in the absence of a state-wide organization of community college libraries maybe it's time to gather some basic facts to begin to draw a portrait. Rolling up my sleeves ...

Northeastern Tributary Reservoirs Land Management Plan
Tennessee and Virginia
In March 2010, TVA issued a final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for the Northeastern Tributary Reservoirs Land Management Plan (NTRLMP). The FEIS examined the potential effects of three alternative ways of managing approximately 5,000 acres of TVA public lands on Beaver Creek, Clear Creek, Boone, Fort Patrick Henry, South Holston, Wilbur, and Watauga reservoirs. Under the proposed plan, land would be allocated into broad categories or "zones" that include Project Operations, Sensitive Resource Management, Natural Resource Conservation, Industrial, Developed Recreation, and Shoreline Access.
In the FEIS, three alternatives were considered to guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions on the northeastern tributary reservoirs. The alternatives include continuing management under the existing Forecast System (Alternative A, the No Action Alternative) and two Action Alternatives (Alternatives B and C). Various tracts (i.e., "parcels") of TVA land would be allocated to specified uses under the two Action Alternatives. These allocations are designed to support TVA goals, balance competing demands, respond to the needs of stakeholders, and help meet TVA responsibilities to protect natural and cultural resources. TVA's preferred alternative is Alternative C, the Modified Proposed Land Use Alternative.
On June 10, 2010, the TVA Board of Directors approved the NTRLMP, implementing the preferred alternative (Alternative C) identified in the FEIS. TVA is preparing a Record of Decision.

This book release and discussion focused on the accumulation of talent and its effects on economic growth and migration trends.
This book release and discussion focused on the accumulation of talent and its effects on economic growth and migration trends.
More than ever before, human capital is recognized as the one resource that can propel firms and economies to the top tier of competitiveness. With substantial increases in the supply and demand for skilled workers, governments will have to think carefully about how they engage with the global talent pool, and how they can select most effectively from it.
MPI experts participate in a video chat shortly after the Migration Policy Institute released an analysis comparing the major provisions of the Senate bill to those of the individual House bills considered to date in House committees.
La migración ha contribuido a dar forma y definir las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y México desde hace más de un siglo, y las relaciones con Centroamérica aproximadamente durante los últimos 30 años. A veces, incluso la migración se convierte en la lente a través de la cual se consideran todos los otros aspectos de esta relación.
At this release event in Washington, DC, co-sponsored by MPI, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, and ImmigrationWorks USA, the Chicago Council's independent task force on immigration released its report, U.S. Economic Competitiveness at Risk: A Midwest Call to Action on Immigration Reform.
This brief examines how the Senate's 2013 comprehensive immigration reform legislation would reshape the legal immigration system through its admission policies and creation of a new merit-based visa stream and points-based system. It also offers estimates of future migration flows, where they can be determined.
A panel discussion on the release of the Regional Migration Study Group's final report, Thinking Regionally to Compete Globally: Leveraging Migration & Human Capital in the U.S., Mexico, and Central America, outlining its findings and offering recommendations to policymakers in the region.
This final report from the Regional Migration Study Group outlines the powerful demographic, economic, and social forces reshaping Mexico and Central America and changing longstanding migration dynamics with the United States. It offers a forward-looking, pragmatic agenda for the region, focusing on new collaborative approaches on migration and human-capital development to strengthen regional competitiveness.
With the prospects for immigration reform greater than they have been in more than a decade and the U.S. economy slowly shrugging off the effects of the recession, the United States may be on the cusp of historic changes that make the immigration system a more effective tool for innovation, economic growth and the competitiveness of its firms—large and small.

INLAND EMPIRE – The American Cancer Society's African American Community Outreach Committee hosting its annual free conference, this year entitled "Living Smart Cancer Awareness" on Saturday, Apri1 21, 2012 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Parkview Community Hospital in the Founder's Center Daily Room, located at 3885 Jackson St., in Riverside. Free lunch, many raffle prizes, with the support of neighboring vendors will highlight the day. Several distinguished speakers including: Clifford Eke, MD, president of the American Cancer Society, will speak on colon and prostate cancers; Dave Williams, MD, of the Center for Lifestyle Medicine, will speak on the role of nutrition and genetics in the prevention of cancer; Tanya Price will speak on the early detection and treatment of blood cancers.
"We have an opportunity to significantly reduce California death rates from colon cancer through regular screening," said Dr. Eke, who works with cancer patients daily. This type of cancer can be prevented through early detection and removal of polyps. By doing so, you take a key step toward staying well," added Willie Grant, co-chair of the African American Community Outreach Committee for the American Cancer Society in the Inland Empire.
This event is sponsored by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) through a special grant, with support from Parkview Community Hospital, the County of Riverside; the County of San Bernardino; Inland Agency; The Pink Ribbon Place; and others. Thanks to improvements in prevention, early detection, and treatment, more than a million people in the U.S. count themselves as survivors of colon cancer; and more than 12 million are surviving with a history of some kind of cancer. American Cancer Society can help. Visit cancer.org or call 1.800.227.2345 for details.

1 (10.75 ounce) can
Campbell's® Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup
3/4 cup
2 tablespoons
soy sauce
2 tablespoons
cider vinegar
2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon
garlic powder
this turned out great...i substituted chinese 5 spice for the garlic, and regular cream of chicken soup and used chicken broth instead of water. also added a splash of milk. cooked perfectly, tasted awesome!!
It tasted very strange to me. I'm taking it out of my recipe box, for sure.

I thought this was a decent meal and my husband loved it! We used whole grain rice instead of long grain and I served it with glazed carrots. The only concern I have is that it was a bit salty and the mushroom soup really offset any hope this dish had of tasting "Asian".
I hesitated to make this due to the bad reviews but our family gobbled it up. I doubled the sauce and rice and added a little bit more chicken (we have 3 growing boys!) and didn't fully double the honey. Threw in a package of stir fry veggies a touch more garlic. I put a chinese hot sauce on mine but we thought it was good and the easy of preparation can't be beat!
It mystifies me as to what makes this dish "ASIAN", but it is very good. Followed recipe exactly except I increased the rice and water by 1/4 c ea and used 50% more honey than called for as personal preference. Cut 3 rather large chicken breasts in 1/2 for portion control. Chicken came out so tender you could cut it with a fork and is great next couple days as leftovers. Will definately make again. ** I like adding the frozen broccoli to this very much, but cook for 60 min instead of 45 if you do!!! Otherwise the rice won't cook!**
We loved this. I added a little more honey and some celery seed. I made the sauce & added shredded cooked chicken. I served the rice on the side. It's even better the next day.
My family loved this meal. Knowing that the chicken might be bland. I used cayenne pepper for flavor. I also used chicken broth and 1 1/3 rice to cut down on the water contend that happen. The chicken was moist. Also it took hour and half to cook. I added frozen broccoli for color. A quick and easy dish.
The dish is not excellent... It does have a strange flavour to it, not sure if I would make it again.

Titled "Self Portrait, Photo Booth, Knoxville, 1967," this is the only image of photographer Danny Lyon that appears in his autobiographical collection, Memories of Myself .
Two young men encountered near Fort Sanders on Sept. 3, 1967. Wandering through backyards, near "kudzu vines and railroad tracks," Lyon found several young men working on a red '53 Ford. In his diary he wrote, "I waited a long time before walking up to them, the way you delay doing something you know you are going to enjoy..." He helped them get the car started, with a dollar's worth of gas, and took several photographs of the group, three of which appear in Memories of Myself .
On his walks, Lyon encountered this unusual assembly in the vicinity of Fort Sanders. The car was named "Mr. Rum Dum," a racing Thunderbird. The man sitting on the hood of the car, Lyon says, was a "carny," then working at the Tennessee Valley Fair. Lyon attended the fair with this group. "Today I met some people with a goat-dog. Actually a billy goat but so called because when standing with two or three dogs, folks often ask, ŒWhat kind of dog is that, son?' and they are told it is a goat-dog. To show how it fights, one of the boys got on all fours and started butting his head into the goat. I am left feeling the people I photograph are the best people in America."
Several of his photographs feature a young woman named Leslie, a photogenic Knoxvillian Lyon had previously met in New Orleans. "Leslie was a hippie, and so were her friends," Lyon recalls. In this photograph, the one used for the cover illustration of his 2009 book, Memories of Myself , she is standing on the Gay Street viaduct, near Jackson Avenue. The brick building behind her has since been torn down.
Lyon's camera was aimed at a racing stock car being towed, but the context may surprise locals, especially those under 50: in the background is the 200 block of Gay Street, between Vine and Commerce, the block of Gay that no longer exists. Most of the buildings visible were torn down within about five years of when this photograph was taken. The perspective is from Vine Street looking south across what's now a parking lot, a small park, and Summit Hill Drive.
Titled "Highland Avenue," this photo of an unidentified boy on his porch on the 1500 block, across the street from the site of the childhood home of James Agee.

QU Picked Second In CT6 Poll
Quinnipiac was picked second in the Preseason Connecticut 6 Coaches' Poll. Fairfield claimed the top spot, while Sacred Heart immediately followed the Bobcats in third. Central Connecticut, Yale and Hartford rounded out the poll.
Rutty Picked To Preseason CT6 Team
Justin Rutty was selected as Quinnipiac's representative on the Preseason Connecticut 6 Team. Joining Rutty were CCSU's Shemik Thompson, Fairfield's Anthony Johnson, Hartford's Joe Zeglinski, Sacred Heart's Corey Hassan and Yale's Alex Zampier.
Bobcats 3rd In NEC Coaches' Poll
The Northeast Conference's coaches selected the Bobcats to finish tied for third in the league this season. Mount St. Mary's claimed the top spot, followed by Long Island. Robert Morris was selected to tie QU for third, while Central Connecticut ranked fifth. Sacred Heart, St. Francis (N.Y.), Fairleigh Dickinson, Monmouth, Wagner, Bryant and Saint Francis (Pa.) rounded out the poll.
Johnson's Elite Company
James Johnson became just the eighth freshman in QU Division I history to start his collegiate debut, and started all 31 of Quinnipiac's games, joining just 19 other freshmen in the nation to start every game their team played in 2008-09. With the start in each of this season's contests, Johnson has stretched the streak to his first 42 games as a Bobcat. Each player to start his first game and complete four years with the Bobcats has scored over 1,000 points. Rob Monroe, Bill Romano and Jared Grasso started their first games and rank first, second and fifth, respectively, on the Bobcats D-I scoring list. Johnson joined teammates Justin Rutty and Evann Baker as current players who started their debuts.
Saying "No" To Joe
The Quinnipiac defense once again clamped down on Hartford's Joe Zeglinski, one of the most potent scorers in the America East Conference. After scoring 12 points in the first half of this year's meeting, aided by a 30-foot desperation heave off glass that fell at the halftime buzzer, the Bobcats didn't allow Zeglinski another point in the second half. The Bobcats held the 2007-08 First-Team All-America East selection to just two points on 1-for-10 shooting on Nov. 14, 2008. Zeglinski's career scoring average was 14.6 points entering the contest. He had reached double-figures in 34 of his prior 37 games. The output tied Zeglinski's career low, set during his freshman season, Feb. 3, 2007, at Boston University.
Moore of the Same
Head Coach Tom Moore has won the season opener in each of his three years at QU, all coming against Hartford. Prior to Moore's arrival to Hamden, no Quinnipiac team had won its first game of the season during the school's Division I era. Teams that have had Moore serving on the coaching staff have won 10 consecutive season openers. The last time one of Moore's teams didn't win its first game was Nov. 11, 1999, when defending National Champion and top-ranked UConn was upset by Iowa in the Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic. None of Quinnipiac's other five coaches all-time won their first three season openers, and only Burt Kahn won three straight at any point. Kahn won three straight three times, including six straight from 1967-68 through 1972-73.
On Deck
The Bobcats return to Northeast Conference action Jan. 7, when they play host to Mount St. Mary's. Opening tip from the TD Bank Sports Center is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
