Today marks the the “first time all four USF campuses will be united by a student-run campus radio station heard on WMNF 88.5 HD-2. The partnership represents a unique collaboration between a college radio station and a community station and allows college music to be heard in the Tampa Bay area for the first time ever. Additionally, it is one of the first college radio stations in the nation to broadcast on hi-definition FM”. Earlier today was open house and the first stream of the station.
I think it’s pretty cool that the campuses can be united in the radio station and I’m looking forward to checking out this radio station.

With 131 chemistry theses available full-text online, the chemistry phase of the Master’s Thesis Project is now finished. The chemistry theses are searchable by content, using “Thesis Keyword,” under Advanced Keyword Search in Ignacio.” The image below is from Youling Zou’s 2005 thesis, Attempted identification and characterization of metallothionein in Dictyostelium discoideum, and depicts the life cycle of Dictyostelium discoideum, also known as “slime mold.”
Life cycle of Dictyostelium discoideum
Zou’s description of the diagram is as follows:
“The cells grow as single amoebae feeding on bacteria. When food is exhausted, the amoebae aggregate and the multicellular organism develops through distinct stages into stalk (blue) and spore (red) cells. Spore cells germinate in the presence of food and amoebae emerge again” (Zou 52).
For further reading, check out the Wikipedia article on Dictyostelium discoideum.
The first week of school is so hectic. You’re searching for parking like a madman and so is everyone else, still determined to make it to all their classes and not slack off this semester. New planner, new classes, new teachers, new classmates, new club meetings, new copy of The Oracle, new parking decal, the only thing that is not new is books if you’re a money saver like myself. Add/Drop Week has thankfully ended and now we are all hopefully satisfied with the classes we ended up with. All these faces you have not seen as much since summer began are suddenly around again, and everyday your schedule starts looking more full. Ah, college how I have missed you.
Being a commuter student, I now spend most of my day on campus and come home just to eat, sleep, do homework, and then repeat the cycle. I have to admit the first couple of days the walking was wearing me out, but into this second week of school I am getting the hang out walking across campus again. College is pretty much my second home during the day. The Marshall Center is like my comfortable living room, so many places to sit, hook up my laptop, and study/interact with other people. The library is like my guest room, quiet and isolated from the rest of my house. Subway, Burger King, the Marshall Center Food Court are my kitchen pantry. Ready to consume.
The first movies on the lawn was great. Star Trek was exciting and the good movie that everyone hyped it up to be. I wasn’t disappointed like when I saw District 9 in theaters and wanted to choke my friends for how overly hyped they made that movie.The only bad part about Star Trek being played in the Oval Theater due to rain was there was no popcorn and soda, oh and the room was freezing. Especially for the people up top. I wanted to hit the gym after a summer of not visiting, but finding it too packed with all the new freshman students I decided to give it some time before I head back into workout mode.
Just finding the time and energy to even update this blog has been difficult. Almost everyday there has been some sort of thing going on, sorry if a few things have been skipped.
September is Library Card Sign-up Month and I thought this would be a good opportunity to promote the Library Card page on the Library History Buff website. The 1877 library card above is for the M. E. Sabbath School in Washington, Ohio and is part of my librariana collection. Some early libraries including the Boston Athenaeum and the New York Mercantile Library used the terminology "library ticket" to refer to the artifact which authorizes the library user to borrow books. I kind of like the use of the word ticket for this purpose. After all, your library card is your ticket to ..... In doing a Google search I found that Norway was using the terminology "library ticket" or "lanekoret" for a program to provide access to its 2500 libraries using a single card or ticket. The idea for a single card that provides access to all libraries in a single state is one of those ideas that sounds great but is extremely difficult to implement. I'm happy that my library card permits me to use any public library that is a member of the South Central Library System in Wisconsin.
