The wish list of astronomers includes a tool that reveals quenching of star
formation in galaxies directly as it proceeds. Here, we present a
proof-of-concept for a new quenching-and-bursting diagnostic, a "change index"
for star formation, that requires only photometric data, provided they include
filters such as the violet $uv$ bands used by SkyMapper. The index responds
mostly to changes in star-formation rate on a timescale of 20 to 500 Myr and is
nearly insensitive to dust extinction. It works effectively to distances of 100
to 150 Mpc. We explore its application to eight example galaxies in SkyMapper
DR2, including known E+A and Seyfert-1 galaxies. Owing to the degeneracies
inherent in broad-band photometry, the change index can only be a qualitative
indicator of changes in star-formation rate. But once the SkyMapper Southern
Survey is complete, the change index will be available for every spatial
resolution element of every galaxy in the Southern sky within its working
distance range.Comment: 20 pages, 14 figures, submitted to PAS

News databases were-among the first developed, and ·some of the first full-text databases, · ' · There are limitations in ~earching newssources, and strategies vary depend- . ing on the format. One "stumper" that frequently raises eyebrows is the issue of con-tent coverage in databases (like Lexis or Westlaw, or websites for that matter). T~is ·· issue may vary from newspaper to newspaper; but generally wire servic.e articles, such as AP, New York Times, or Reuters, will not appear in the database of a paper like the Richmond Times-Dispatch; unless it specifically relates to Virginia . .That can be con-fusing for a patron who has a specific recollection of a frorit-page· article, and when an . online search is attempted , the patron gets no results because of the original aµthor- , ship of the article . The other major element missing from an online database is pho~ tos . What would a print newspaper be like without photos? This issue surely makes microfiche seem terrific. Also, if you are researching legal notices, classifieds or ad- . vertisements, you won't find those intludedonline, and usually are limited at websites. . . Newspaper websites are intriguing, but have different limitations. Articles fre- .· quently are edited versions of the originals. Photos are added in some cases, but not · all. The Richmond paper just added a new feature in 2001, which doesn't appear in · the onlirie version - paid death notices. This may not sound like a big deal, but ca n be a helpful element in some research . T raditionally, only full obituaries are included in online services. · · As the web environment evolves; we'll gain access to many new sources, but · unfortunately, site managers will soon see the value in charging for access.

I Richmond's most recent contribution to the arts is the _ Go Fish! Project, a conimunity-wide art profect designed to create excitement about public art in ttie City. Two hundred fish sculpture bases were paid for by an individual , non-profit group or corporate sponsor, de- . signed and named by local artists, and placed throughout the city . . WhY fish you might ask? The int('.lrJt is for the sculptures to be rockfish, a fish native to the James River and a type recently returning to the estuary after years of decline. The sculp-tures are made of epoxy, are about five feet long, and weigh 50 to 75 lbs. Before they are de-signed and mounted on concrete bases, A few (don't miss the one at the Berkeley Hotel) are wall mounted. . . . . Project Chair, Sus~m Jamieson of 1708 Gallery, was inspired by the "Cows on Parade" · exhibition in Chicago, and wanted to promote the same excitenient using a symbol local to Richrtiorid. . Themes for the designs range from Egyptian Pharaohs and Faberg~ Eggs to Marilyn M_onroe and Elvis . . . The fish will be displayed primarily in the Downtown area, but you'll find others in Jackson Ward, around the Jefferson Hotel, in the Court End/MCV area , and along. Broad, Grace and Franklin Streets. Outside of downtown, sculptures appear in the Fan District , Carytown, Westover Hills , and Regency Square.

See you in August . . 2 3 3 4 4 4 I Volume 14, Issue 9 Summer 2000 WELCOME SUMMER ENTRY STUDENTS I Eleven students will be starting their law school career this summer. Getting a head start has obvious advantages - smaller class sizes, fewer courses, and graduat-ing early . However, former summer entry students have told us that they feel some-what lost, particularly in the library. The library staff intends to alleviate any concerns. Join Gail Zwirner on May 16th at 11 :00 am for a library tour. The Law Skills program, which includes legal research, does not begin until the Fall, so for the students who have never worked in a legal environment, knowing the difference between "S.Ct." and "A.2d" is a major challenge. (They happen to be the abbreviations used for case citations by two case reporters, the Supreme Court Reporter and the Atlantic Reporter, 2d series.) · Law libraries frequently offer reference guides to help students understand dif-ferent research areas. In the Muse Library, the reference guides are stored in the bins beyond the reference desk before you enter the government documents. hallway. · Reference Guide-#4 is entitled Interpreting Case Citations, and explains the compo~ nents of a citation. This information will come in handy this summer in your text-books. For example, let's analyze the following citation: Roe v . Wade, 93 S.Ct. 705 (1973) Roe v. Wade: These are the names bf the parties in the case. The first name listed is the plaintiff, the party bringing the suit. The. second name is the defendant. "93" indicates the volume number of the case reporter which contains the full text of the court's decision. "S.Ct." is the abbreviation for the case reporter, Supreme Court Reporter, which contains the full text of the court's decision: (To complicate mat-ters, there are two other reporter services that in-clude U.S. Supreme Court decisions.) "705" is the first page of the opinion. "1973" is the year of the decision. Although you won't have an extensive need to use the library sources for the Property and Civil Procedure courses, citation interpretation will be one necessary skill. Stop by the Reference Desk this summer and introduce yourself! .

' nations best places to live and work. Volume 14, Issue 9 Website of the Month: Best] obs USA.com • BestJobsUSA.com reported in May its employment review survey of the "Best Places to Live and Work 2000." The guide provides professionals with information on the cities with the best employment opportunities. The staff researched 300 cities, comparing population, unemployment rates, cost of living and job opportunities as some of the deciding factors when narrowing down the list. -Richmond ranked 17 on the list this year, among cities like Sarasota, FL (1) and Colorado Springs, CO (20). No other Virginia cities appeared on the list. The closest rival location is Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, ranked at number four. The evaluation connected Richmond's strength as a business power to the English explorers' discovery of the James River's rapids as a source of power. The river today contributes to Richmond's urban development . The canal skirting the river's rapids was uncovered and revitalized in 1999. Richmond's business strength translates to eight Fortune 500 and twelve Fortune 1000 companies with corporate bases here. The diverse manufacturing base of chemicals, machinery, food products and tobacco recently added semiconductor and biotechnology firms to the list. The survey highlighted Richmond's culture and history, mentioning the 20 area museums, and specifically recommending a trip to St John's Church, where Pat-rick Henry made his "give me liberty or give me death" speech, and the Virginia State Capifol designed by Thomas Jefferson. Some of the deciding indicators for the survey are as follows: ~ HOUSING COSTS: $132,080 (median price of a three-bedroom home) UNEMPLOYMENT RATE: 2.1 percent fl PROJECTED JOB GROWTH TO 2010: 18 percent ' . ' . • ' EDUCATION: Greater Richmond has 12 public and private national Blue . R Ribbon Schools. The area also has five four-year institutions and seven two-- year and special institutions. iii HEALTHCARE: Greater Richmond has 18 hospitals.

How many more times can they ·rework a jungle scene in Vietnam, or a Middle East uprising? The one attempt to inject some heart-wrenching creativity fell flat because the director pushed it to the limit. · Nevertheless, the acting was good by a cast of proven "soldiers." Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jack-son play Vietnam heroes, who, 28 years later, find themselves in another war zone - military court - where Jones is representing Jackson for giving the orders to open fire during a Yemen protest at the American embassy there. Over eighty were killed and one hundred more severely injured. At issue was whether Jackson appropriately issued his command to open fire on an armed or unarmed group of protestors-during the evacuation of the Ambassador and his family. Of course, only Jackso'n and a dead U.S. soldier were eyewitnesses .. The embassy security tape, curi-ously missing from the inventory, was the third source of evidence. Three key supporting actors kept the movie entertaining. Bruce Greenwood played the sleazy National Se-curity Adviser, who burned the only evidence exonerating Jackson. Ben Kingsley was the wimpy Ambassador to Yemen, whom. Jackson found under the office desk without any consideration of how his family was, and then waited impatiently for Jackson to retrieve the flag under fire so the Ambassador could officially close the embassy. The Na-tional Security Adviser coerced the Ambassador to lie on the witness stand, saying that Jackson forced him to leave. The prosecuting attorney, Guy Pearce, was terrific in his no-nonsense trial preparation (after all, they only had two weeks to prepare) and .courtroom style. ( lfyou've seen movies like A Few Good Men, wait until Rules of Engagement comes put in video. The act-ing is terrific, but the storyline is a retread. Rating: Richmond Goes Hollywood: The City's Movie Trivia More than 40 films have used settings _familiar to most residents for major: motion pictures and television se-ries. The campus of the University of Richmond, for example, has filled in for schools and college scenes, and most recently fat Fox network's Dawson's Creek. Courtroom scenes have been filmed in the Supreme Court building on Bank street. Richmond even sometimes stands in for Washington, D.C. (the former Confederate Home for Ladies looks a lot like the White House). · · However, contrary to popular belief, the staircase of the Jefferson Hotel was not used in "Gone with the Wind." The story was that the producer of the film saw the staircase on a visit to Richmond in the 1930s and de-cided the_ lower lobby of the historic hotel would be the model for the Butler home's hall staircase. In fact, in the 1970s when the film's set designer visited the hotel, he said he had never heard of the Jefferson's staircase as a model or otherwise. /(In the hotel's latest renovation, the building code required that a center handrail be added to the staircase, making any future comparisons unlikely.) · Some of the movies staged in Richmond were Last Detail with Jack Nicholson, Randy Quaid, and the late Gilda Radner; My Dinner with Andre; Kennedy with Martin Sheen practicing his Presidential role for the now popular TV series, West Wing; Dave, with Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver; Jackal, starring Sidney Poitier, Bruce Willis, and Richard Gere; G./. Jan·e with Demi Moore; and most recently, the TV movie, Sally Hemings.
