Nocardia Surveillance Under Way
Angie Cierzniewski
MPH Intern
The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH), in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is conducting surveillance of Nocardia infections. Nocardia bacteria are gram-positive, weakly acid-fast, gram-positive, and ubiquitous in the environment. These bacteria cause opportunistic infections, including respiratory infections, abscesses, skin infections, and tumors. Risk factors for nocardiosis include being a transplant recipient, steroid use, advanced HIV disease, malignancy, chronic pulmonary disease, or intravenous drug abuse.
Historically, sulfonamides were the treatment of choice, but sulfonamide resistance has been reported in Europe, Japan, and the U.S. Approximately 500-1,000 new cases of nocardiosis occur annually in the United States. Overall, 80 percent of cases present as invasive pulmonary infection, disseminated disease, or brain abscess; 20 percent present as cellulitis. Although incidence data are extremely limited, the number of nocardiosis cases probably has increased recently due to the overall increased number of severely immunocompromised persons. Currently, there is no national reportable surveillance system for nocardiosis.
From January 2000-December 2004, 72 Nocardia isolates obtained from Alabama residents with culture-confirmed nocardiosis were submitted to CDC for antimicrobial susceptibility testing at the request of the attending health care providers. The CDC determined the species and evaluated the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of all isolates. The most common species identified (44%) was Nocardia nova. Forty-nine (68%) of 72 isolates were resistant to sulfonamides, the highest resistance rate ever recorded in the U.S. These data demonstrate the importance of performing species identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing for Nocardia and suggest that further monitoring is needed to determine the burden of nocardiosis caused by antimicrobial-resistant Nocardia and to determine the relationship between resistance, treatment, and patient outcome.
To determine the true rate of antimicrobial resistance, the CDC is conducting short-term surveillance for resistance that would ideally capture all Nocardia isolates in a state and determine the timing of the course of disease and treatment, the species, and the resistance patterns. Knowledge of the incidence of naturally occurring, initial resistance in Nocardia isolates will facilitate appropriate public health response, whether in the form of investigation, recommendation, or further evaluation.
For this three-year project, the CDC has implemented laboratory-based surveillance for nocardiosis by evaluating Nocardia isolates collected in various states, including Indiana. Nocardia isolates are submitted to CDC, consistent with ongoing practices for routine reference laboratory support.
To support the appropriate interpretation of laboratory results, CDC requests information on recent use of antimicrobials and results of previous laboratory testing for each isolate. Information is requested on the date of initial diagnosis, antimicrobial therapy, date of specimen collection, outcome of the infection, and previous laboratory results. These data will allow the CDC to: 1) determine if the apparent increase in resistance represents a true increase in resistance or if it is an artifact; 2) describe the percent of newly diagnosed Nocardia infections that are antimicrobial resistant, 3) share data with local health care providers and public health entities for use in antimicrobial therapy planning, and 4) evaluate the usefulness and sustainability of the elements of the three years of Nocardia surveillance to determine viable ongoing surveillance efforts. Subsequent years of this project will examine in-depth the laboratory and epidemiologic information associated with cases of nocardiosis.

What is on your holiday wish list this year? Did you venture out shopping during the holiday weekend? My husband and I have made Black Friday shopping a tradition, and this year was extra special because for the first time my daughter joined us.
My son has requested a PS Vita on his wish list this year. We ventured out on Black Friday hoping to snag a great deal on one. Contrary to popular belief, you will not always find the best price on all items on Black Friday. I knew this before I started my shopping adventure, but I was still hopeful.
Use common sense when matching prices. Know when and where to price-match.
I knew I had one disadvantage before I even started shopping; price matching is always limited on Black Friday. There are so many "deal busters," "special buys," etc., that many stores that normally price match will not match at all Thanksgiving weekend. We traveled to Best Buy to try to snag a deal on the PS Vita and when I saw the price was almost $249, I did a double-take. I grabbed my Android and pulled up my Shop Savvy app, I scanned the bar code on the Vita and it showed me that Target had the same thing for $199 ($50 cheaper). They were out of stock online, but it showed they also sold them in the store. I found an associate to ask if they would price-match online ads and found out that they will, but not during the holiday weekend. The $199 price was not a Black Friday price, but it was a special edition so we left and decided to try to find it at Target. Unfortunately, I was still not able to locate it in the store.
When I did the math I realized it would be in my best interest to purchase this item at Target, even if I found it at a lower price at its competitors. Why? Because not only will they match prices at amazon.com, bestbuy.com, walmart.com, and target.com I will receive an additional 5 percent off my purchase by using the Red Card there. If I wait and find the best deal, I can easily get the best price and beat it by 5 percent.
Read those ads carefully and take advantage of special incentives in them.
My very first stop on Black Friday was AC Moore, I knew from the ad that the store was giving away $5 gift certificates to the first 100 customers. My 21-year-old daughter, my husband and I snagged a gift certificate and we each picked up two jar candles that were $2.50 each. When we checked out and they applied the gift certificate we didn't even have to pay tax. So we scored six free candles.
Target Red Card offers additional savings.
We also snagged a video game at Target, used our Red Card and received the 5 percent discount and a $10 gift card to make it a sweet deal. Did you know that the Target debit card is not a credit card? You link it to your checking account and use it just like a regular debit card at the register; when you use it to pay for your purchases you receive a 5 percent discount off almost everything in the store.
Combine price-matching and coupon policies to score the best deal.
Walmart announced it would price-match competitors' ads Thanksgiving day weekend as long as the item was identical and it was purchased during the specific sale hours. I wasn't going to pass this up and combed the ads carefully to see if there was anything worth matching. I found Fijits on sale Black Friday at Kmart for $8.99. Normally I would have just gone to Kmart to purchase these, but I had a four $10 off Fijits coupons I had printed from savannahnow.com/coupons (you can print two per computer). With Walmart's overage policy that meant I could price-match the item, use the coupon and would be paid $1.01 for each one. I just had to make sure I purchased the items during the sale hours. I walked out with four Fijits and they paid me $4.04 to take them out of the store. This is a perfect example of when it is better to price-match due to a store's coupon policy.
Gift cards make great gifts and can stretch your fuel dollars.
Right now Kroger is offering 4 times the fuel points for gift cards at many local stores and restaurants. There is no activation fee, so a $25 gift card costs just $25. If you are purchasing a gift card for someone it makes sense to purchase it from Kroger to accumulate the fuel points and save on your gasoline purchases. If you plan on shopping at any of the local stores, pick up a gift card at Kroger and use the gift card to pay for your purchases. It doesn't cost you anything extra except your time, and you will be rewarded with fuel points that will help you save at Kroger gas stations and at Shell.
After you have found the lowest price, use price matching to get the best price.
Many area stores will match prices, some stores will offer a price guarantee. A price guarantee applies only to the prices at the store where you purchased the item. If that item goes on sale during a specified time period since you purchased the item there, the store will refund you the difference when you bring in your receipt.
Each store has its policies when it comes to price matching; it's important to read the fine print. Some stores will match online competitors and others will only match local brick and mortar stores. The following stores offer price matching: Best Buy, HH Gregg, Walmart, Toys R US, Target, Fred's Super Dollar, Lowes, Home Depot, Staples, Office Max, Office Depot, Sears, Amazon (only on TVs), Bed Bath and Beyond, and JC Penney. All these stores offer price guarantees; if you find the item for a cheaper price after you have purchased it within a specified time frame they will reimburse you the difference. The time frame varies by store. Macy's does not price-match, but it does have a price-match adjustment policy. If the item goes on sale within 14 days of when you purchased it, it will refund the difference when you present your original receipt.
This year, Best Buy and Target both announced that they will price-match online competitors during the holiday season. This is a huge announcement because they will both price match walmart.com and Walmart won't even price-match its own online prices. Both stores will also price-match amazon.com, which offers very competitive pricing on a variety of items. When you combine this with the Target Red Card discount you will be sure to get a great deal.
Home Depot and Lowe's will both not only match a competitor's price, but they will beat it by 10 if you bring in the competitor's print ad. This is limited to items in stock, and does not apply to items that must be special-ordered or ordered online.
Knowing the ropes of each store's price match policy and price guarantees can be quite a chore. To help you navigate through them, you'll find more information on on my blog at savannahnow.com/savvyshopper. You will find price-matching tips and a summary of each store's price-match policy with links to each policy. Look for the handy link shortly on savannahnow and on Facebook at Savannah Savvy Shopper.
And one other thing: Always save your receipts. If you find the price at a lower price somewhere else and the store that you purchased the item from doesn't price-match or have a price guarantee, you can always return the item for a full refund. Then you can and purchase it somewhere else. Just make sure you have the original receipt and make sure that you are still within the return period.

Volume VI. The Drama to 1642, Part Two.
Tourneur and Webster
§ 7.
The White Divel:
question of its sources; possibility of originality in the plot.
So ends the period of Websters apprenticeship and collaboration. We now pass to the earlier of the two periods which contain his original and unaided work (161018). This is the period of
The White Divel
(afterwards known as
Vittoria Corombona
) and
The Dutchesse Of Malfy.
Some three or four years separate their period from the preceding. For
The White Divel
was printed in 1612; and the repeated borrowings from Richs
New Description of Ireland,
published in 1610, forbid us to place its composition earlier than that year; it may well have been written in 1611. The exact source of this great tragedy is a problem which still remains unsolved. That it is based on events connected with the life of Paolo Giordano duke of Bracciano, and that these events took place in 15815, that is, within the lifetime of Webster himself, is certain. Beyond that, all is obscure. The case, so far as our present knowledge goes, is as follows. Many versions of the story, contemporary or nearly so, exist in Italian;
one, by François de Rosset,
is known if French. All these are in substantial agreement with each other; and all differ, in many crucial points, from Websters. The question at once arises: how are Websters variations to be accounted for? Had he before him a written account differing from all those which have come down to us? Or had he heard an oral statement substantially agreeing with that given in his play and traceable in the last resort to one who had either travelled in Italy, or come, as visitor, from Italy to the north? Or had he read a version corresponding more or less closely with those accessible to us, and retained nothing more than a confused and indistinct memory of it? Or, finally, having, from written or oral sources, a tolerably accurate knowledge of the true facts, did he deliberately alter them for purposes of dramatic effect?
This is not the place to discuss the question in detail. So much, however, may be said. The first supposition, so far as it relates to any record professing to be historical, may be dismissed as highly improbable. The story, as we have seen, was well known and accurately recorded. The actors in it were among the most marked figures of their times: Francesco, grand duke of Florence, the typical Italian despot of his day; Sixtus V, the soul of the League and the Armada, the last of the popes who can fairly be described as great. The heroine of the story was niece by marriage of the latter. The circumstances of her second marriage and her murder had formed the subject of trialsone at Rome, the other at Padua and Venicefamiliar to all Italy. It is hardly to be conceived that any chronicler should have departed widely from facts thus generally known. Novels and dramas remain. And it is not impossible that, some day, either a novel or, less probably, a drama may be discovered which criticism will recognise as the source from which Webster drew. None such, however, has hitherto been found; though Tempesti, writing a century and a half later (1754), says that the story was known all over Europe and had been told by hundreds of authors. The only novel at present known is the tragic history of de Rosset; and that, with the exception of the assumed names and minute additions of obviously romantic embroidery, is in complete accordance with the chronicles; so that, even if it can be proved to have appeared before
The White Divel
was written, it will in no way account for Websters departure from the historical facts. Of dramas, previous to Websters, still less is to be said. Santorio, indeed, a contemporary chronicler (15621635) says:
Scio ego apud quosdam actitatum tragdi argumentum, datumque spectantibus haud suppressis personis nominibusque.
But in what language this tragedy was writtenwhether, as we shall see in the analogous case of
The Dutchesse Of Malfy,
the reference may not even be to
The White Divel
itselfunfortunately does not appear.
The other alternatives are not mutually exclusive. It is perfectly possible that an oral statement, for which either an English traveller or an Italian visitor was ultimately responsible, may have reached Webster and that some, at least, of his inaccuracies may be due to the natural negligence of his informant. Intercourse with Italy had never been broken off. France was a common meeting ground of English and Italian. We know, for instance, that Vittorias own stepson, Virginio Orsini, the Giovanni of the play, had been sent as envoy to England by his uncle Ferdinand, successor to Francesco, at the close of Elizabeths reign. We know that the same Virginio was reputed lover to Marie de Medici, and that the attention of English dramatists was at this time keenly directed to the doings of the French court, and not least to the love affairs of the royal house.
All this would make it natural enough that rumours, more or less accurate, relating to the Orsini and Medici, should reach the ears of Webster. But, once again, there is no evidence. Some, indeed, of Websters inaccuracies are almost certainly du to lapse of memory. For instance, he has given the official name of Sixtus V wrongly, and has inverted the parts of Flamineo and Marcello. Neither of these changes can plausibly be set down to deliberate intention.
There remains the final possibility that Webster had read an account not substantially different from that given by the chronicles, and that most of his variations are made of set purpose; that is, with a view either to suit his own conception of what the leading characters in such a tragedy should be, or to secure a more impressive effect. Among the changes made with the former object would be reckoned the transformation of the characters of Vittorias husband and mother, the one for ill, the other for good; the strain of hypocrisy, not, however, very consistenly worked out, in the character of Vittoria; the obvious adaptation of her circumstances to those of her kins-woman, Bianca Capello (the heroine of Middletons undated drama,
Women beware Women;
above all, the change in the character of Lodovico who, in the play, is moved neither by avarice, nor by the desire to assert the honour of his family, but by the fixed resolve to exact vengeance for the murder of an adored mistress, Isabella. Among the alterations made for the sake of effect might be counted the appearance of the lieger ambassadors at Vittorias trial and the election of Sixtus (the presence of the English envoy is historically impossible), the murders of Marcello and Brachiano, the appearance of Francesco as a direct agent in the latter crime, the ghastly scene at Brachianos deathbed and, very possibly, the transference of the riddling
Manet alta mente repostum
from Lodovico to Isabella. It would clearly have weakened the dramatic force of the tragedy to reserve the final act, or even a closing scene, for the nemesis of Lodovico. And it may well be for this reason that, in defiance of historical facts, Webster placed his death within a few moments of his victims. That would at once bar out the situation in which the memorable phrase was actually utteredthe formal questioning of Lodovico by the magistrates of Pauda. And Webster, impressed (as he well might be) by the phrase, was, on this assumption, at the pains to introduce it under circumstances entirely different, but hardly less dramatic.
If this be the true explanationand many things point that wayit would follow that Websters treatment of his subject is far more original than has sometimes been supposed. If we may believe him to have worked on a chronicle such as those embodied in Tempestis
Vita di Sisto V,
or on a novel resembling that of de Rosset, he has, manifestly, made far more sweeping changes in his source than seems to be implied by those who speak of his play as drawn from an Italian novel. He would, in fact, have breathed a new spirit into the whole train of incidents. The figure of Vittoria, indeed, remains much as we might divine it to have been from the historical records; though the lines are deepened, the colours heightened and harmonised, by the hand of genius. The same applies, though in a less degree, to the defiant figure of Brachiano and the deep dissimulation of Francesco and Monticelso. The last, indeed, is the one case in which the dramatist has fallen short of the model supplied by history. In a drama where he could not be the central figure there was no room for the grand, yet sinister, figure of Sixtus. All else, however, would be the creation of Webster: the tragic resignation of Isabella, the fatuity of Camillo, the pathos of Cornelia, the profoundly interesting and subtle portrait of Lodovico. The crucial change, alike for its own sake and for its bearing on the whole structure of the tragedy, is that in the character and motives of Lodovico. The attribution of his long cherished schemes to outraged love and the thirst for vengeance alters the whole nature of the action. It provides the atmosphere of doom which hangs over the drama from beginning to end, and which is deepened by the scenic effects, the sombre episodes, of which Webster was master without rival.

Ernest Thompson Seton began this painting in 1894. It depicts the view from a Russian trapper's sled that is being pursued by wolves. Seton derived the scene from a story he later published in Forest & Stream titled, "The Baron and the Wolves."
Although the painting's meaning is ambiguous, one scholar has postulated that Seton "meant to show wicked men pursued by vengeful wolves retaliating against man's destruction of nature". Seton took great care in preparing elaborate studies of each of the twelve wolves in the pack. In addition, he did several other studies to work out the color scheme and arrangement of the finished painting.
The painting was completed in January of 1895 and was submitted for hanging in the Grand Salon of Paris. The painting was rejected, perhaps because the message was not easily understood. Nevertheless several of the studies were accepted and displayed.
President Theodore Roosevelt was so impressed with the painting that he comissioned Seton to paint a canvas of the lead wolf. The resulting painting hung in the Roosevelt Gallery for many years. It was also used as the frontispiece of Volume II of Seton's Life Histories of Northern Animals.

1) remove bumper from car. remove lower "half" from upper. I put half in quotes b/c as you see, the upper part extends the whole height of the bumper:
2) cut away any parts that will interfere with the ultrasport lower lip sitting flush. I used a utility knife and a dremel. I cut away more than I needed to it turns out, mostly from the section that separates the center grille area from the L/R grilles:
this is about how much I cut away:
here's a closeup of the trimming required near the fogs (same on boths sides so I'll just post one pic:
make sure everything fits:
the two center beams of the U/S lip (for lack of a better term) won't fit on top of the upper bumper because the curvature is a little different. You could cut them some, but I didn't want to lose any more structural support, so I didn't worry about it.
once I was satisfied with the fit, I went ahead and painted black the areas that would be visible once the U/S lip was fitted, the fog surrounds and the 2 center supports. Note that you don't need to paint the fog surrounds if you are using the stock USP fog grilles.
While I was waiting for that to dry, I went to work on the grilles. I used .75" expanded metal mesh from Home Depot, $15 or so.
I created cardboard templates since I don't have the U/S grilles to use as a guide. It took a lot of trimming with the dremel, and after I was happy with the fit, I painted them with Plasti-dip rubberized coating ($5 at HD). 3 coats, 30 mins in between coats, let dry overnight. The center grille opening is 27" but the grille sheet is only 24" (largest I could find), so I had to use tiny zip ties and some epoxy to attach two pieces together. Fortunately the ends are cut right down the center of a diamond, so matching them up was no problem. I'd be willing to bet you can't tell where the break is.
I used self-adhesive rubber door trim as a border for the grilles, don't have any pics of it separate, but it was about $12 for a 25' roll.
back to the main event. Once the black paint on the stock upper bumper is dry, it's time to attach the U/S lower lip. I used a combination of epoxy, zip ties, and machine screws. I drilled one hole in each of the tabs on the U/S lip, 1 hole on each side of the two center beams, and two holes on each side where the U/S lip attaches near the fogs.
After the holes were drilled, I mixed up some epoxy and spread it on the stock upper bumper on the areas where the U/S lip would overlap. Then I attached the U/S lip and secured it with the zip ties before the epoxy dried.
here's the back side of one of the center beams showing the zip tie:
here's another showing the back side of the fog lamp area:
Next I drilled 1 hole through each of the center supports straight through the U/S lip. I used a small machine screw with washers on either side and a nut on the bottom (with threadlock of course).
pic of the screw from the "top":
and one from the bottom. I dremeled off the excess screws at the nuts after I took the pic
and that's it for the bumper. There are NO issues with the U/S lip not being secure, even with the amount of cutting done. It doesn't wobble or sway or move an inch even at or above highway speeds.
Attaching the grilles was pretty easy. I cut them to fit pretty eactly so they fit snugly and really didn't need anything to secure them, but I used a few tiny zip ties just to be sure. Sorry no pics of that as my camera sucks and none of them turned out. The side grilles you have to attach *after* the bumper is put back on the car unless you have mad skills.
Here's some gratuitous pics of how it turned out, from various angles in the daylight:
driver front 3/4:
pass front closeup:
pass side w/refinished wheels:
and some more current pics, with blacked-out upper grille trim and S4 e-codes:
Thanks for reading, and please post/email/IM me with any questions. I'm sorry more of the pics didn't turn out.
**Disclaimer: semi-professional modder on a closed course. Do attempt this at home.

Doing it in camera. Is it worth the effort?
Posted 30 August 2004 - 05:43 AM
But am I wasting my time? In these days of digital images that zap images straight into Photoshop is it really worth the effort of trying to create effects during my limited time underwater, when I could easily do them in a minute or so of mouse clicking?
As an example here are two images that I took yesterday. Both are "as shot" but was I wasting my time because I could easily have recreated them using radial blur in Photoshop. Or would the computer generated version lack the realism of actually doing it in camera?
p.s. The pictures were taken with a Sigma 28-70mm zoom (zoomed during the exposure). Nikon D100. Exp 1 1/10th @ f13, Exp 2 1/15th @ f13.

I thought that this discussion would generate a bit more interest. Any opinions?

They look great to me, but I don't think I can tell the difference between shot as in and made in photoshop. If that's the case with others then it probably not worth the trouble to shoot it that way.

I think it is better done in camera. Doing so is using your creative and artistic potential as a photographer. Anyone can post it in Photoshop.
After all we call ourselves photographers, not computer engineers.
Cool shots, nice job keeping the focus on the faces as well.

For example you may have noticed in competition there are normally two categories, one for edited versions and ones for straight out of camera.
If you want to di ti all in photoshop then go for it, but you'll never push your envelope of abilities in photography if you just point and shoot. Infact those of us that have very expensive equipment and are just using it as point and shoot ... shame on you, you should have not wasted your money.
I think when people like Alex take shots like this they are showing us what can be done, with less work than post processing it all, and is more satisfying when you get it right.
Take a chance and get more pleased by your good results than you ever dreamed is what i say.

Sometimes late at night, after a few drinks (well probably more than a few actually!), I turn on a couple of minor lights, set my camera to a 4 second exposure and dance around my living room swinging the camera around. I will never show anyone the results but they appeal to me more than any my underwater snapshots I take. Its the closest I ever come to "photography". They make me happy when I look at them - using photoshop does not me happy in the least. I know it sounds a bit esoterical but the process of taking the picture and achieving a result is the part we truely enjoy. I think.

That being said, I do think that the closer you can come "in camera" to the resulting image, the better. This mostly applies in terms of lighting, exposure, composition, etc, but also with artistic intent.
I'd bet you get a lot of "wow, how'd you get Photoshop to do that" type comments though!
Nice work!
Posted 31 August 2004 - 06:26 AM
I would do those (similar to what you shot) in photoshop. You are likely to get better results.
I'd like to see it, I am not doubting anyones abilities in Photoshop, what I am doubting is the end result being as good, i.e. not looking like it went through photoshop.
Posted 31 August 2004 - 07:19 AM
I can't see the samples referenced in this thread. What am i doing wrong?
--> now that I posted and logged in (I'm currently logged out in strange intervals) I can see them. Please dosregard the message above.
The shots are great. Yes, you might do it in PS but it's different. I also did a few slow shutter speed pictures to capture motion recently. You could do this in PS too but it isn't that sporty. To me, it's more catching the moment than dreaming up something I haven't sort of seen.
(BTW, where is the shutter lag, when you need it?)
It maybe is the old gap between slides and darkroom work. UW photographers tended to do slides traditionally, therefore "push the button and live with the result" is more common amongst them than "take a few shots and let's see what it turns out to be in the darkroom".
I also lock myself up in a small room (without involving alcohol) sometimes and then I start crying about my pictures. It happens always when I see some samples of the sort mentioned in this thread.
Not beeing fully satisfied with the own results is what is driving us forward. Thanks to people like Alex I've got lots of ideas and hints to improve my own work.

IMHO, the ability to visualize the end result is what makes the photographer. So, in this case, the fact that you had a concept and could create it in either the camera or Photoshop is what's important, not so much as how he made it.
I agree with Tom.
It is usually the case that if you want to create something special and interesting in Photoshop - you have to shoot elements specifically for the image while UW. Great photoshopped images tend not to come from poor starting images.

This is a 1 minute example done in Photoshop. Just make new layer. Apply zoom blur. Fade layer opacity to the desires level. Use eraser to pick out details of main subject, in this case you, Giles!

For instance, I was reading about a technique were you double expose 2 images to create a single image. That's cool and all, but had you taken them seperately and combined them in photoshop, you'd end up with more control over the transparency of each exposure, and the positioning resulting in a better overall effect.
And I doubt an interested party will care how the image was created.
With that said, if doing it in photoshop does not make you happy, then I wouldn't do it.

It's for sure better to prune the image than the coral ;-)
The sample with the girl is quite extreme. I wouldn't go that far for my own pictures. It depends what you need it for, though. After hours in PhotoShop, the girl looks like the art director wants to see her, not the way she actually looks like (and thus causing thousands of teenies to hate their own imperfect bodies and end up with anorexia or a surgical implement as a "12th birthday" present).
It depends what you want to show. I removed lots of irritating details (there's always that nasty fin you didn't recognise when you pushed the trigger while doing WA shots) mainly in WA shots. Sometimes it's hard work and I wished that I'd watched more carefully when pressing the button.
As for double exposure, it was the only way to achieve this with slides. I wouldn't do it inside the camera nowadays (couldn't do it anyway ;-)
It's a thin border between technical aid (isn't white balancing RAW already cheating a bit?) and composing an image nearly from scratch out of a series of shots.
Both are legal approaches as long as you state how you did it. From an artistic view the result is the only thing that counts. There might be a problem with contests in the future. Traditionally, there was a number of slides sections (wreck, macro etc.) and an "artistic" one where you were allowed to apply any manipulation possible. Where should we draw the line now?
WB, Levels, cropping, removing backscatter, ... ?

isn't white balancing RAW already cheating a bit?
I often jokingly comment in talks that shooting JPG is more of a cheat than RAW. If you shoot JPG you are letting some software programmer at Nikon or Canon (or wherever) decide what you images should be like - rather than controlling factors like white balance, contrast and saturation settings of your images yourself.
Shooting RAW makes your image much more your own work!!
Posted 01 September 2004 - 05:35 AM
If you want to be the "purist" you can set the WB, Contrast, Saturation, Sharpness, etc... In camera before taking the photo to prove you are the ultimate artistic visionist Xtreme.
Crops, backscatter, exposure, are great examples of things I would consider best done in the camera.
I like to try and use the best tool for the job to obtain my goal. But everyone is different.
What is more impressive, the Egyptions building the Pyramids by hand and crude tools, or the engineers that designed and built the worldest tallest building, Taipei 101, Taiwan.
A lot of that depends on what is your goal. To build the tallest structure by Hand? Or just to build the tallest structure.

It wasn't exactly a Kumbaya moment, but top congressional Republicans offered Wednesday to meet the president halfway when it comes to solving the government's fiscal woes. In fact, House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said he would support a tax code overhaul that raised more revenue — an apparent departure from the House GOP's no-new-taxes orthodoxy. There's an opportunity here for President Obama to finally obtain the "grand bargain" he's been talking about for years, a deal that brings the federal deficit and debt under control by cutting spending, slowing the growth of entitlements and, yes, raising revenue.
It would be a mistake to read Boehner's statements to the media as a concession, especially considering the barbed remark from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) that "the voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the president's first term." Both men denied that Obama had a mandate from the voters to end the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy, which has been a central feature of Obama's economic plan.
Those tax cuts cost about $700 billion over the course of a decade, which is too much at a time of trillion-dollar deficits. But there are other ways besides raising tax rates to collect more revenue while still preserving the progressivity of the tax code. One example is rolling back the exemptions, deductions and other preferences available to high-income taxpayers. Many economists argue that it's better to go that route than to raise rates because tax preferences distort markets, while higher rates promote tax evasion and discourage work. And at least two bipartisan panels, including one created by Obama, have laid out blueprints for tax reforms that would raise significant revenue by reducing preferences while lowering rates.

When I logged on this morning I saw in the Breaking News at the top of the list something titled like this. "What should be done with all the documents found in Iraq?"
I just got ready to read the article when I got an incoming phone call and had to log off to get the call. When I logged back on the subject matter WAS GONE FROM BREAKING NEWS. I want to read that article and since I don't remember the exact title, I can't find it. I have used keywords I thought would help, but to no avail.
Am I the only one who is real frustrated about things being removed from Breaking News? There are subject matters still up there from days ago. Who cares about them now? They are no longer breaking. I want to read what I saw placed there today.OK, flame away if you have to.
Thats the one. Thanks!

No. I just did a search of a post from 1:06 at 1:07 and it came up. So you need to find another excuse.

After a lengthy search, Niagara University has announced Katie Kocsis as its new director of financial aid.
Kocsis, who has served as assistant director in Niagara's office of financial aid since 2009, will assume her new role immediately. She replaces Maureen Salfi, who retired in February after almost 36 years at NU.
During her time as assistant director of financial aid, Kocsis accrued considerable knowledge on federal, state, NCAA and institutional policies and regulations. She has been instrumental in instituting several improvements within the financial aid office, including the transition into direct lending, and the automation of student TAP and PELL disbursements, which allows students to access their aid in a timelier fashion.
For her efforts, Kocsis was recognized as the university's employee of the month in June 2011.
"Niagara University is an institution that rewards excellent work," said Dr. Kevin Hearn, vice president for student affairs and interim dean of enrollment management. "Elevating Katie to director speaks to the outstanding progress that she's made as a financial aid professional, and it's also quite beneficial to the university to have a person overseeing that office with Katie's substantial institutional knowledge and experience. We are very pleased with this appointment."
Kocsis earned a bachelor's degree in education from NU in 2007, and attained a master's degree in special education in 2012. Upon completing her undergraduate studies, she became a receptionist in the office of financial aid, later working her way up to assistant director and, now, director.
In her new position, Kocsis will be responsible for providing oversight of the policies and procedures of financial assistance to students at NU, including those from federal, state, private and institutional sources, in accordance with governmental regulations and the mission of the university. She will also have a primary role in counseling and advising students, parents and the general community about opportunities to finance a college education.

UNOH to Sponsor September Truck Race
As part of its marketing platform to promote the world's first High Performance/Motorsports degree curriculum that takes students from the classroom to the racetrack, the University of Northwestern Ohio (UNOH) signed an agreement today to become the entitlement sponsor of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on September 20.
The UNOH 175, which will drop the green flag at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, will mark the return of the Camping World Truck Series after a two-year hiatus.
The marquee event of three races on Sept. 20, the 175-lap truck feature makes for an electrifying Saturday of racing at the 1.058-mile oval. The UNOH 175 will be followed by the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour's F.W. Webb 100 at 3:30 p.m. and the American-Canadian Tour's Bond Auto Parts ACT Invitational at 5:00 p.m.
"One of the many things I appreciate about the University of Northwestern Ohio is they understand and execute a marketing initiative that encompasses everything from weekly grassroots racing right up to a major national event like the UNOH 175 here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway," said NHMS Executive Vice President and General Manager Jerry Gappens. "Our facility and event weekend will be a great platform to reach out to a very strong New England market to attract new students for their outstanding program. The value of a strong education in this sport can make all the different in winning a race or even a championship. We're proud to be affiliated with an educational institution like UNOH."
This will be the first sponsorship of any kind for UNOH at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, but certainly not the school's first venture into NASCAR. The private, non-profit institution based out of Lima, Ohio, sponsors Camping World Truck Series races at Bristol Motor Speedway and Kentucky Motor Speedway, as well as last year's inaugural "Battle at the Beach" at Daytona International Speedway, which continues thru 2016.
"Excitement does not describe our enthusiasm for the sponsorship of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at NHMS. We have worked over the past two years to try to figure out what we could do to be involved at NHMS," said Steve Farmer, UNOH's vice president of corporate development "When they contacted us about sponsoring the truck race, it was a natural fit for UNOH because of our involvement with the series. New England has always been a hotbed of motorsports enthusiasts and we are happy to bring our program to New England area students".
UNOH's involvement in motorsports goes far beyond sponsoring races. The university has teamed up with NASCAR to offer the UNOH-NASCAR Youth Achievement Award, which supports NASCAR Home Track licensed drivers from the ages of 14-18 via cash and scholarship awards. The national champion will be awarded a $10,000 scholarship at the NWAAS National Banquet in Charlotte, N.C. in December. They are also a contingency sponsor for the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series at all 58 NASCAR Home Tracks.
During 2012-13, 10,352 students in New Hampshire enrolled in a high-school level career and technical education program. Schools like UNOH, which offer a racing-focused curriculum in Applied Technologies, help expand those grade level courses into a full-fledged career in motorsports. Industry specific internships are also available to students, while in school so they can take advantage of the hands-on opportunity to work with racing teams and tracks, around the country.
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series veteran, Ron Hornaday, Jr., won the inaugural Truck Series race at the Magic Mile in 1996 and was the last to take the checkers before Kyle Busch's three consecutive wins ('09-'11).

Hot Oklahoma Sooners Girls
The #5 Oklahoma Sooners demolished #2 Texas Tech on Saturday evening by a score of 65 to 21. The victory has major BCS implications as ESPN Reports :
Sam Bradford and Oklahoma are on their way up in the national championship race, and Texas Tech sure came down with a mighty fall. Bradford threw for 304 yards and four touchdowns, and DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown combined to run for five more scores as the fifth-ranked Sooners brought an unceremonious end to No. 2 Texas Tech's run toward perfection in a 65-21 blowout Saturday night. The question now is this: Did the Sooners (10-1, 6-1 Big 12) do enough to make up for that loss to Texas?
So while ESPN ponders the new BCS rankings, we here at Gunaxin have something else on our minds, like how hot are the girls of Oklahoma? We'll let the following 9 pages, and 177 photos help you decide.

The Three Databases
The World of Copepods consists of three databases. These are…
- Bibliography of All Known Copepod and Branchiura Literature
As of June 2018 this database is an Archive Copy ONLY. You can still search and download records, but no changes or additions can be made here. For an up-to-date bibliographic dataset please go to our site on WoRMS
- Taxonomic List of Copepod and Branchiura NEW SITE
- Copepod and Branchiura Specimen Holdings of Invertebrate Zoology
New Database:
The Taxonomic database of this website has recently been moved into the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) database and now is hosted at www.marinespecies.org/copepoda. This database is a growing register of all marine species names, including synonymy and misspellings in common use. It is an authoritative register, and the content is controlled by taxonomic experts, not by data managers. It is a relational database that allows for: linking synonymies, distributions, hosts, images, literature sources and specimen data. In addition, it allows for multiple editors to correct and edit data. The editors of this database are Chad Walter and Geoff Boxshall.
In order to provide sufficient expert knowledge for maintaining the list, we have formed an editorial committee which will be editing and improving this database. There are numerous associate editors that will be standardizing and improving the data for groups that they are knowledgable in. This database will hopefully promote stability in copepod nomenclature and act as a tool for highter taxonomic revisions and regional monographs and then provide a base link for other online databases that use copeopd nomenclature.
Use this database for up to date taxonomic information on copepods. This database supersedes both the Genera data and the Species data previously presented at this website.
What is a copepod?
These aquatic crustaceans are very diverse and are the most numerous metazoans in the water community ("metazoan" means all multi-celled animals). Copepod habitats range from fresh water to hypersaline conditions, from subterranean caves to water collected in bromeliad leaves or leaf litter on the ground and from streams, rivers, and lakes to the sediment layer in the open ocean. Their habitats also range from the highest mountains to the deepest ocean trenches and from the cold polar ice-water interface to the hot active hydrothermal vents. Copepods may be free-living, symbiotic, or internal or external parasites on almost every phylum of animals in water. The usual length of adults is 1-2 mm, but adults of some species may be as short as 0.2mm and others may be as long as 10mm. Ecologically they are important links in the food chain linking microscopic algal cells to juvenile fish to whales. Copepods also have the potential to act as control mechanisms for malaria by consuming mosquito larvae, and contrariwise are intermediate hosts of many human and animal parasites. Branchiura (commonly referred to as sea lice) are also included with the Copepoda, since many copepod researchers also study these parasites of fish.
For an introduction to the history of the study of copepods go to Damkaer's History
What does a copepod look like. Well here are a couple of CLSM images of copepods taken by Dr. Jan Michels, Alfred Wegener Institute and Dr. Olga Lévai, Leica Microsytems GmbH, Germany.
The Subclass Copepoda consists 10 Orders:
- Calanoida
- Cyclopoida
- Gelyelloida
- Harpacticoida
- Misophrioida
- Monstrilloida
- Mormonilloida
- Platycopioida
- Poecilostomatoida*
- Siphonostomatoida
There are over 240 described families, 2,600 genera and over 21,000 described species (both valid and invalid, including senior and junior synonyms)
*Poecilostomatoida [Boxshall & Halsey, 2004: 37, suggested placing it into Cyclopoida]
The Class Branchiura comprises 1 Family (Argulidae) and 4 Genera
- Argulus
- Chonopeltis
- Dipteropeltis
- Dolops
The Wilson Copepod Library
The bibliographic database was developed and is maintained by staff of the C.B. Wilson Copepod library, and contains all the known literature for copepods and branchiurans. Currently, over 63,700 bibliographic entries on copepods are in the database.

For much of Augusta's history, the central business district was on and near Water Street on the west bank of the Kennebec River. The street, laid out in the late 1700s, was also the location of many of the government buildings. As the city grew and spread out the local government buildings moved further away from the business district.
Many fires damaged this concentrated area, including one significant fire in 1865 that destroyed nearly 100 buildings. In 1890, the first trolley line began operation down Water Street, connecting Augusta with Gardiner and Hallowell to the south. In 1932, the motor buses replaced the trolley line.
With the completion of the Maine Turnpike and Interstate 95 in 1955, local commercial developments began to move away from Water Street and closer to the Interstate. Though since the 1980s there has been a continued effort to revitalize the downtown area.
The Tichnor Brothers printing company published this type of postcard circa 1938 as part of their Maine series. These, and other postcards, by the Tichnor Brothers Company are officially known as the Tichnor Gloss Series because the photographs were notoriously retouched on such a level that does not allow the postcards to be classified as photographs or paintings. The caption reads, "Water Street, Augusta, Maine."

28 U.S. Code § 1449 - State court record supplied
Where a party is entitled to copies of the records and proceedings in any suit or prosecution in a State court, to be used in any district court of the United States, and the clerk of such State court, upon demand, and the payment or tender of the legal fees, fails to deliver certified copies, the district court may, on affidavit reciting such facts, direct such record to be supplied by affidavit or otherwise. Thereupon such proceedings, trial, and judgment may be had in such district court, and all such process awarded, as if certified copies had been filed in the district court.
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 78 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, § 35, 36 Stat. 1098).
Changes were made in phraseology.
This section corrects a typographical error by eliminating from section 1449 of title 28, U.S.C., the words "any attachment or sequestration of the", which had been inadvertently included, and inserting in lieu thereof the words, "and the clerk of such State court, upon".
1949—Act May 24, 1949, substituted "and the clerk of such State court, upon" for "any attachment or sequestration of the".

Evercool AIOLUS Notebook Cooler Review
Evercool AIOLUS Notebook Cooler Introduction:
The moment I put my eyes on the box holding the Evercool AIOLUS Notebook Cooler, I thought "Well, someone out there is thinking outside of the box!" The cooler per say is nothing new, an aluminum body with two integrated low speed fans and a couple USB ports. It's the usual setup that can be found in the legion of laptop coolers out there. What makes this Evercool product unique is that it combines the standard approach with a side blower module. The idea of the side blower is not really a novelty, you can find cheap units on Ebay that function pretty much the same way. In this review, I will show you Evercool's first take at modular laptop cooling and its clever implementation of the side blower module.
For the history lovers, Evercool is a Taiwanese Corporation that was established in 1992. Mostly known for it's fans, laptop coolers, and thermal compound products. In terms of philosophy, the company focuses on innovation, quality, and affordability. Let's see what the folks from the R&D team at Evercool brought to the market. Will the Evercool AIOLUS Notebook Cooler live up to the cool name that Evercool boasts or is it more hype than heat dissipation?
Evercool AIOLUS Notebook Cooler Closer Look:
The Evercool AIOLUS Notebook Cooler comes in a pretty colorful, slender, and sturdy box. The white background and the blue highlights make for a nice color theme, by contrasting with the blue and black look of the unit. On the front are located the Evercool logo, a picture of the cooler with the side blower module attached, and the name of the unit on the bottom right corner. The back of the box has more meat to it and actually doubles as an installation manual. On the left side we find a performance comparison chart, showing the superiority of the AIOLUS against a stock setup. The features of the Evercool AIOLUS Notebook Cooler are listed on the right side with thumbnail style illustrations. The bottom section is the actual installation manual, that will walk the user through setting up the side blower module.
Inside the box there isn't much in terms of padding. A double layer of cardboard on the bottom and a single layer on top are all what stands between the AIOLUS and any possible damage. To the right are located the blower unit and the accessories bundle, which consists of two USB cables and two rubber adapters for the blower. The blue rubber adapters feel quite durable and nicely made. These huge grommets will serve as a seal between the blower and the side vents on the laptop for optimal performance and airflow. The side that clips into the blower is thicker and even though soft, it will bounce back to shape after being folded or squished. The thinner section intended to form the seal, might be more prone to damage and I would advise against letting pets put their paws on it. My cat showed quite the interest on one of the adapters and I would only imagine the damage if it ended up being her playtime partner!
The blower unit is rectangular shaped and measuring 4" x 3.25" x 1". The external side is equipped with an exhaust vent, fan speed control with three options (OFF, High, and Low), and a green power led light. The top and sides have some detail to enhance the look of the unit and provide a better grip. The side facing the laptop vent is completely exposed which allows us peak at the blower-style fan installed inside the enclosure. The bottom side contains a spring mechanism, which makes a tight fit against the laptop vents possible. The whole blower unit will spring back against the laptop side, which helps the rubber adapter seal function.
I really have high hopes for this modular approach from EVERCOOL. Let's take a look at the actual cooler, then jump into the testing!

Joe Simpson Hits the Pool with Model Jonathan Keith During Jessica's Wedding Weekend
Joe Simpson strips down and goes shirtless while spending time by the pool with model Jonathan Keith on Saturday morning (July 5) at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif.
The 56-year-old father of Jessica Simpson is at the resort to attend his daughter's wedding this weekend.
Joe and Jonathan were spotted at the beach earlier this year and rumors quickly surfaced that the pair were in a relationship, which Joe shot down immediately.
"More mis-information in the news. The guy in the pics is my modeling Client. He was in Miami taking agency meetings. That's it!!" Joe tweeted back in February.

Introduced at the same time as the original Mac, the Apple IIc represented a leap forward for the Apple II line. One of the key improvements was integrating the floppy disk with the main CPU. It was one of the most popular Apple IIs ever.
We recently got an Apple IIc for our Cracking Open series. The poor thing was already damaged in shipment, but here's what it looks like on the inside.
Find out more about the Apple IIc in Classics Rock
This poor IIc came to us damaged during shipment. It lost two keys which are snapped off. The plastic around the monitor was already yellowed with aged and it broke apart during shipment.
As you can see the frame around monitor is completely gone.
We have the keys that are missing, but the posts are broken off. Too bad because the keyboard has a nice feel to it. It's a solid unit as we'll see later
Our IIc came with a complete of manuals.
The IIc comes with a 90-day warranty. Looks like ours is a bit out of date.
You can do lots of stuff with your IIc, including creating a Data Base.
The manual clearly shows all of the connections for the IIc and what they do.
Apple takes care to point out how things work with the IIc and key concepts.
You can increase the Apple IIc's memory from the base 128k up to a whopping 1Mb with an expansion card!
These programs came with our IIc.
Our IIc came with an Apple IIc serial mouse. Here it is with all the accessories.
Like the Mac of the day the AppleMouse IIc had one large button.
The AppleMouse IIc cost $89 in 1986 dollars. Today that's $166 in today's money.
The mouse has a single centered ball. As you can see, it was made in the USA.
The AppleMouse IIc has a standard 9pin serial connector.
Here's the complete warranty registration. Interesting because it's a scantron sheet.
Here's the IIc by itself waiting to get cracked.
Right hand view showing the integrated floppy drive. The Apple II series used 5 1/4" drives for most of their run. The Apple IIc was the first Apple II to have a built in drive.
The c in IIc stood for Compact. It was made to be transportable. As such, it had a handle to make carrying it easier.
Not much to see here. Just a volume control and headphone jack under the keyboard.
Underneath the unit. As you can see the speaker grille is dented along with the other damage. The IIc uses several standard Phillips screws. Easy to find and disassemble.
You can't read the whole serial number. But you can see the rest of the engrained information.
The screws come off the bottom and there's one catch on the front near the keyboard. After that, the lid comes right off.
Nothing to the lid except for a fine filter over the grille, that you can barely see in this picture.
Here's the view of the IIc from above.
The keyboard isn't screwed in. Instead, there's a tab that tucks under the floppy cage. Otherwise the keyboard is held in place by the now missing case.
The keyboard is disconnected. You can see the connector ribbon at the top.
As you can see, the keyboard is pretty clean on the bottom. No traces to be seen.
Apple seems to have made this board themselves, not OEMed it out. At least, it has an Apple logo on it.
They floppy drive is only held in place by this cable and pressure from the case. There are no other screws attaching it to the case.
This cable does double duty. It transmits power to the drive as well as data. There is no separate power cables as in modern PCs.
Here's the floppy cage removed. The Apple IIc floppy drive is only 140k in capacity.
Here's the bottom of the drive. You can see the drive belt clearly.
Reasonably clean design. Large driver motor can be seen in the lower left.
You don't see electronics like this much anymore. Only a few ICs, but the controller is dominated by rows of resistors.
A popular component maker of the time, Alps provided the floppy drive for Apple.
Here's the Apple IIc exposed with the keyboard and floppy cage removed. As you can see, the board design is pretty minimalistic. There are few visible resistors and capacitors compared to machines of the same era.
Here's the power supply unit. It's small because the AC/DC transformer is external to the unit. This is merely the voltage regulator. As you can see, there's no significant shielding around the power supply on our unit.
It connects with two screws and a card edge connector. Easily removed. The power supply was a whopping 25 watts.
Here's another view with the power supply gone.
Here's where the power supply used to be.
Here's the connectors in the upper left hand corner of the board. There's a small power switch in the upper left hand corner. Next to it, there's a connector for the external power supply. Above the silver capacitor, there's a DIN plug for an external printer.
The board is clearly labeled. You can see where all of the interface connectors are across the top. The upper left port is for an external disk drive. Below that, you can see where the floppy cable for the internal drive connects.
Next to that is the composite video out port.
Further to the right, is the connector for a television if you wanted to use that rather than a composite monitor.
Next there's a 9 pin DIN plug for an external modem.
Finally, there is a standard 9-pin port in the upper right for the AppleMouse IIc.
Here are the memory chips for the Apple IIc. The system came with 128K of RAM, but it could only address memory in banks of 64K. You could expand memory to over 1Mb in size, but this memory was also only available in banks, not as a contiguous 1Mb.
Our Apple motherboard has the base memory soldered on. Memory is expanded via a card whose connector is off the screen to the left. First generation Apple IIc motherboards had socketed memory chips which all had to be removed and replaced for upgrades.
Here are 5 main chips on the system board. In the lower right hand corner resides the 65C02 CPU. This is a 1Mhz 8 bit CPU.
The C in the string stands for CMOS. The CMOS version of the chip ran cooler, and took less power, but otherwise is identical to the standard 6502 CPU used on the original Apple II and II+. The chip was manufactured by NCR.
Above the CPU is the MMU and the IOU. To the left is the Keyboard ROM and Firmware ROM. We'll discuss them in the next few slides.
This board is silkscreened as 1986. It's not an original Apple IIc. The first Apple IIc came out in 1984 and has a 1983 copyright.
You can see a connector in the upper right. This is for a memory expansion card. Older Apple II motherboard have socketed memory chips that all need to be replaced for upgrades.
Above the copyright, you can see the 65c02 CPU.
Notice the both the Apple and Microsoft copyright notices on the board. The Microsoft copyright is for the Microsoft-produced BASIC that the Apple IIc uses.
Above the Firmware ROM, you'll find the Keyboard ROM. This stores keyboard mappings.
Above the CPU and to the right of the Keyboard ROM are the IOU (top) and MMU (bottom).
IOU stands for Input/Output Unit. It controls all of the basic I/O on the computer.
MMU stands for Memory Management Unit. It controls how the CPU talks to the onboard memory.
Here's the KR9600-Pro Keyboard Encoder. It communicates with the keyboard. You can see the keyboard connector above and to the right. Volume controls and the headphone jack are to the left.
The two main chips here are the serial controllsers.
Unlike a PC which would use an 8250 UART for the serial port, our Apple uses an AMI 8709B. UART.
This chip is referred to as the IWM (Integrated Woz Machine) It's a single chip version of the Apple II disk controller card.
The yellow chip on top is clearly labeled as the video out chip.
This chip is the Character Generator ROM. It's the one that displays text on the monitor.
These two chips are the TMG and GLU.
The TMG chip is the Timing Generator. It works with the brass chip on the lower right which is a 14mhz system board oscillator and controls timing on the board.
The GLU chip is the General Logic Unit. It performs logic instructions not handled elsewhere on the system board.
Our Apple IIc came from Singapore unlike modern Apples, most of which come from China.
There's nothing to see at the bottom. The underside is free of wires and solder traces.
Here's the bottom of the case. Apple has spray painted it a matte black color. I'm not sure why. Possibly for heat dissipation.
Here's an entire Apple IIc, cracked open.
