marble slab in Little River, AL Creamery was founded in Houston, Texas, in 1983. It became a franchise in 1986, and now has more than three hundred stores around the world. It gets its name from the way the ice cream is prepared - on a marble slab in Little River, AL. It is a franchise that is family owned, but ever-expanding. Ice cream is always very popular, so these franchises do a very good business.
There are Marble Slab Creamery franchises in thirty five states, in Canada, and in other countries as well. It is very well known and does very good business, despite, and perhaps even because of, the family owned nature of the franchise.
Marble Slab Creamery prides itself on the quality of its ice cream. They call it "super premium ice cream," and they have a "chef-driven" vision. There are actually chefs working there, who make the waffle cones and ice cream. The waffle cones are hand-rolled and baked in each store. The ice cream, as stated, is homemade, and they have almost fifty flavors, including odd ones like pistachio, honey, and cotton candy. They have many "mixins," toppings to go with the ice cream, to choose from. This gives the customer a wide variety of choices when deciding what to get. In addition to ice cream, Marble Slab Creamery sells cakes, shakes, and low-fat yogurt. They strive to make sure all the ingredients used are the freshest, and that every customer is fully satisfied with what they order.
There are over two hundred Marble Slab Creamery franchises in the United States, seventy-five in Canada, and twenty-six in other countries. It is very profitable and is always expanding.
To start a Marble Slab Creamery franchise, an initial fee of $25,000 is required. The total investment cost is estimated at between about $210,000 and $403,135. To qualify to start a franchise, the applicant must have a net worth of $250,000 and liquid assets of $78,000. They also must have strong financial expertise, be people oriented, and be able to multi-task.
Potential franchisees should download, complete, and submit the Candidate Profile located on their website. A phone interview is then set up to determine if the applicant is truly qualified to own and operate their franchise. Once a franchisee is accepted and given a franchise, the extensive training program begins at headquarters, where training last ten days. It then moves to the franchise location, and lasts another six days. marble slab in Little River, AL. There is ongoing support, including newsletters, security and safety procedures, internet, meetings, a toll-free support line, and field operations and evaluations. Beyond that, advertising support is offered. They of course wish for all their franchisees to be successful and profitable, and so will help out each franchisee on a regular basis if the need arises. The franchisee can expect a huge return on investment and large profit margins within the first year if they follow their training and ask for help when they need it.
When looking to start any business it is important, particularly considering today's market, that you look for specific ways to cut minimize or reduce overhead and risk. Any business is going to have risk, but it is important to have a full understanding of the amount of investment, startup cost and "ROI" (Return on Investment).
Most people are not aware that 80% of ALL franchise endeavors fail in the first two to five years leaving large debts looming for years thereafter.
One way and in my opinion the best way to cut overhead, startup and investment cost is to take advantage of the new age of entrepreneurship and start a business from the comfort of your home. Opportunities have emerged in the online market that are creating millionaires every single day.

=== Launching SMILA in Eclipse IDE ===
=== Launching SMILA in Eclipse IDE ===
Revision as of 04:28, 8 February 2012
This HowTo describes the necessary steps for setting up a SMILA development environment.
- 1 Preconditions
- 2 Getting the source code
- 3 Defining the target platform
- 4 Checkstyle configuration
- 5 Launching SMILA in Eclipse IDE
- 6 You're done
Here is the list of things that you will definitely need for developing SMILA components:
- Recent Eclipse SDK - This HowTo was tested with Eclipse Classic SDK 3.7.1 (Indigo SR1)
- Delta Pack - for some parts of the setup you are advised to add a "Delta Pack" to an Eclipse SDK installation. You can download it from the same page.
Getting the source code
There is more than one way of getting the code into your Eclipse workspace. In the next two sections, two recommended ways are shown. After having imported the source code into your workspace, it will show up a lot of errors. Don't worry, they'll disappear when you run through all steps of this HowTo.
Both methods described below will lead you to the same result: They will provide you with a workspace containing all core SMILA projects (plus SMILA.releng when you choose the Project Set File).
Getting the source code manually
Getting the source code manually without the Project Set File is the recommended practice, especially when you wish to update frequently.
- Choose one:
- Download the complete source code from the release download page or the nightly build downloads and unpack complete the archive into your workspace.
- Use your favorite SVN client to check out SMILA's source code from the repository located at:
http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.smila/trunk/core. If you later want to be able to build a SMILA distribution including your own extensions, all SMILA projects should be located immediately in your workspace directory.
- Hint: We recommend to check out the trunk/core as opposed to importing the projects through IDE SVN integrations. By doing so, you can easily get new projects just by updating your working copy and reimporting the sources.
- Import all SMILA project into your workspace:
- Click File --> Import --> General --> Existing Projects into Workspace --> Next.
- Select the folder that contains all SMILA projects --> (all projects should be selected automatically) --> Finish.
Using the Project Set File to get the source code
If you do not want to check out the source files manually, you can use the provided Project Set File (.psf) to check out and import all projects automatically.
- Install Subversive Team Provider and Subversive SVN JDT Ignore Extensions from the Eclipse software repository.
- Restart Eclipse.
- Select Windows > Preferences > SVN. This should open the Subversive Connector Discovery window.
- Select the Subversive SVN Connector that you wish to use. We suggest to take the latest SVN Kit that is offered. At the time of writing it was SVN Kit 1.3.5.
- Restart Eclipse.
- Download the file SMILA-core.psf.
- Select File --> Import --> Team --> Team Project Set --> Next.
- Click Browse and navigate to the .psf file.
- Click Finish.
Now your IDE starts to download and import the SMILA projects. This will take quite a while.
Hint: When you want to reimport the .psf file (e.g. because there are new projects available in the SMILA core repository), you have to update the .psf file in the SMILA.releng project and import it (right click on it and click on "Import Project Set...", be sure to click "No To All" to the question whether to overwrite existing projects in the workspace, otherwise it will check out everything again instead of ignoring the projects, that are already checked out.
Enabling the BPEL Designer
If you want to work with the SMILA extensions for Eclipse BPEL designer, you need to check out the bundles from trunk/tooling. Currently, the required bundles are:
- org.eclipse.smila.processing.designer.model
- org.eclipse.smila.processing.designer.ui</tt>
To compile them you need additional bundles from the Eclipse BPEL Designer in your target platform. See SMILA/BPEL Designer for more information.
Defining the target platform
The target platform defines the set of bundles and features that you are developing against.
Defining the target platform the easy way
SMILA ships a Target Definition File that you can open in your IDE to configure the target platform automatically. This file contains all the references needed for developing SMILA with Eclipse Indigo SR1 (3.7.1):
- If the SMILA.releng project is not already contained in your workspace (e.g. because you have chosen the manual way to check out and import the source files), check out http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.smila/trunk/releng with your preferred SVN client and import the project into your workspace.
- Open the file SMILA.releng/devenv/SMILA-indigo-SR1.target with the Target Definition editor.
Eclipse starts downloading the referenced bundles/features which it tells you by stating "Resolving Target Definition" in its status bar. Be patient, this will take quite a while. After it has finished, you can click the link "Set as Target Platform" on the top right of the Target Definition editor. Doing so will cause Eclipse to start re-compiling the sources and all error markers should be gone when finished.
Defining the target platform manually
Instead of using the target definition file you can also manually set your own target platform.
Checkstyle configuration
If you have the Eclipse Checkstyle plugin installed, you will get a lot of error messages complaining about missing check configurations when Eclipse builds the workspace.
Errors running builder 'Checkstyle Builder' on project 'org.eclipse.smila.utils'. Fileset from project "org.eclipse.smila.utils" has no valid check configuration. ...
You can solve this by importing them:
- Open Window -> Preferences and go to Checkstyle.
- Click New..., enter SMILA Checkstyle as the name, click Import..., and select SMILA.builder/checkstyle/smila_checkstyle-5.xml from your workspace. Click OK.
- Click New... again, enter SMILA Test Checkstyle as the name, click Import..., and select SMILA.builder/checkstyle/smila-test_checkstyle-5.xml from your workspace. Click OK.
- Select SMILA Checkstlye and click Set as Default.
- Click OK.
Now you should not get those error messages again.
Launching SMILA in Eclipse IDE
If you've checked out SMILA's trunk correctly, you should have a project called SMILA.launch in your workspace. This project contains the SMILA's launch configuration for Eclipse IDE. To start SMILA directly in your Eclipse IDE, just follow the steps below:
- Click Run--> Debug Configurations and expand OSGI Framework.
- Select the SMILA launch file.
- Make sure that there aren't any junit 4 bundles activated:
- Enter "junit" into the filter text field.
- Uncheck all junit 4 bundles (e.g. org.junit4, org.junit(4.8.2....) etc.) because they conflict with the junit 3 bundles used in SMILA.
- Click Debug.
If everything works fine, you will get an output in the Console view similar to the following:
osgi> Persistence bundle starting... ProviderTracker: New service detected... ProviderTracker: Added service org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.osgi.PersistenceProviderOSGi Persistence bundle started. [INFO ] Context /zookeeper: Registered handler(1) ZooKeeperAdminHandler, pattern /(.*)$ [INFO ] Added worker webFetcher to WorkerManager. ... [INFO ] HTTP server has SMILA handler RequestDispatcher for context /smila. [INFO ] HTTP server started successfully on port 8080.
You're done
Congratulations! You've just successfully checked out and configured your SMILA development environment and you can now start developing your own bundles.

Captain Jerk Palythoas
Palythoa Coral Care
Zoanthids and Palythoa are a large group of corals in the reef keeping hobby. They come in an incredible range of colors and patterns making them very popular with both beginner hobbyists and rare coral collectors tracking down the uncommon color morphs. In terms of care, both Zoanthids and Palythoa are fairly easy to keep. They tolerate a wide range of lighting intensities and water conditions. Once settled in, zoas multiply quickly. Please see below for more care tips for Zoas and Palys as well as checking out our Top 5 Tips for setting up a reef.
A Quick Word on Identification
There is no scientific consensus on Zoanthid and Palythoa phylogeny. In layman's terms, it is unclear where Zoanthids end and Palythoa begin. What was once 300 identified species has been whittled down to around 50-60 in the past several years depending on the criteria used to differentiate the different morphs. There are new classification insights as more genetic testing is being done, but for the purposes of this hobby-focused website, we've chosen to arbitrarily lump larger polyp individuals into Palythoa and smaller polyp specimens into Zoanthids.
A Word of Warning
Some Zoanthids and Palythoa contain a powerful neurotoxin called palytoxin in its flesh that can be extremely harmful if it comes in contact with your blood stream. By harmful we mean deadly. Take special care handling these polyps for this reason especially if you have open cuts on your hands.
Zoanthids and Palythoa are found in corals reefs around the world. These polyps are harvested mainly from the islands of the Indopacific including Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and the Great Barrier Reef. Zoanthids and Palythoa have an incredible array of colors and patterns that make them one of the most popular corals in the reef aquarium hobby.
Zoanthids and Palythoa are not as demanding as other corals when it comes to lighting. They can be kept under a wide variety of lighting types, and are tolerant of both low and high light conditions. It is always wise however to acclimate new arrivals in lower light areas because it is far more likely to be damaged from overexposure than starve from underexposure.Low Light
Low light translates to about 30-50 PAR
Medium Light
Medium Light is between 50-150 PAR
High Light
High Light is anything over 150 PAR
Lighting is a loaded topic, so for a more in-depth discussion of lighting, please see our Deep Dive article.
Water Flow
Moderate to high water movement is recommended. Zoas and Palys benefit from enough flow to keep detritus from settling on them.
While both Zoanthids and Palythoa polyps derive much of their energy from the products of their zooxanthellae, they do have the ability to capture prey. Palythoa seem to feed much more readily than their Zoanthid counterparts. Take a look at the Palythoa feeding video below.
Both Zoas and Palys for the most part have been propagated extensively in captivity and are an excellent candidate for aquaculture. It is reasonable to believe that a sustainable harvest can be achieved in time. Take a look at the propagation video below for tips on how to frag Palythoa and Zoanthids.
Proper acclimation is extremely important considering the stress imposed on the animals by the shipping process. Please take a moment to review our Acclimation Guide.
The images were taken with a Canon 5D mk II and 100mm macro lens under T5 Fluorescent lighting. Quite a lot goes into how we go about shooting the corals and anemones you see on Tidal Gardens. For an in-depth look at our methods, check out our comprehensive Reef Aquarium Photography FAQ.

Beyond teaching, he has been consistent in making and showing his ceramic work, participating in numerous exhibitions throughout Alaska and the lower forty-eight states. Recently, he was invited to participate in the North American Pottery Festival at the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis MN. In 2013, Steven was awarded a sabbatical and spent a month studying figure sculpture at the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramics Arts and at museums in San Diego and New York City.
When not in the studio, Steve enjoys renovating his house, making furniture, cooking, collecting art, and hiking in the mountains of Alaska.
Creating a simple coffee mug comes from my desire to use something everyday that strikes up a warm conversation with me. Making pots allows me to be a formalist who loves the symbolic results of a shape, color and texture combinations. I can be an engineer who develops a refreshing approach to something we have seen or used before. I have the freedom to design work to compliment a space or a table. With these attributes, I intend to raise the importance of the mug from mundane to meaningful, from words to poetry.
My choices of pots to make are based on the food and drink I prepare and consume everyday. The shapes present themselves during the making process. Formal decisions happen quickly, fueled by intuitive information. The forms originate from inspirations I receive historical ceramics. Pots from ancient Persia and Sung Dynasty China speak of clear intention and purpose. They have become symbols of purity and and visual harmony. My interpretations of these forms are small in size, which beckon intimate contact. The subtleties of stretched volume, soft curves, and organic textures create sensations reminiscent of human form. The resulting feel can swing from being humorous to serious, from sexy to sedate.
I use specific glazes to unify the variations of line quality and texture that exist in one piece. I have chosen soft colors that give a delicate but flamboyant edge to the grounded stature of the work. Glazes pool in the recesses of the markings giving depth to the surface. The process of firing to a hot temperature further melts the glazing giving the pots a glowing, gemlike surface. The manner in which I choose and combine materials leads to work that balances between the images of ornate "Sunday dinner" ware and the trustworthy "coffee mug in the car" ware.
I strive to be a designer of useful objects that are thoughtful in terms of my approach to form, selecting glazes, applying surface textures, and overall presentation. Presently, I see my work being a part of eating and drinking rituals of the every day. Involvement in a routine generates familiarity, understanding, and closeness. I hope for my pots to speak to people beyond their functionality and to tell a provoking story through the symbolism of form and color. I wish for them to be used and understood as objects that are testaments to observations of beauty.

AT&T Don't Text While Driving Documentary ( Video Inside)
YASA and LASIP advice to avoid the increase of injuries resulting from road collisions on New Year's Eve
Make sure that the mattress is comfortable, suitable and properly fit in the child bed.
Fans feeling unsafe after the horrific crash at Daytona International Speedway were able to change seats for NASCAR's biggest race.
Track President Joie Chitwood said Sunday workers successfully repaired a section of fence -- 54 feet wide and 22 feet high -- that was shredded Saturday when Kyle Larson's car went airborne on the final lap of a second-tier race and crashed through the barrier that separates cars from fans. Large pieces of debris, including a tire, sprayed into the upper and lower section of the stands.
The crash injured more than 30 people, raising more questions about fan safety at race tracks.

Halifax Health spokesman Byron Cogdell said seven people with crash-related injuries remained hospitalized Sunday in Daytona Beach in stable condition. The six people brought to a different Halifax hospital in Port Orange with crash-related injuries had all been discharged by Sunday morning, Cogdell said.
A spokeswoman at Florida Memorial Medical Center would not release information Sunday on the patients brought to that hospital.
Chitwood, meanwhile, said if any fans are uncomfortable with their up-close seating for Sunday's Daytona 500, officials would work to move them. The race started as scheduled.
"If fans are unhappy with their seating location or if they have any incidents, we would relocate them," Chitwood said Sunday. "So we'll treat that area like we do every other area of the grandstand. If a fan is not comfortable where they're sitting, we make every accommodation we can."
Larry Spencer of Nanticoke, Pa., said Sunday he's not sure he wants to ever sit that low again after his 15-year-old brother, Derrick, needed three stitches in his cheek after being hit by metal debris flying from the crash. They sat close to the fence Saturday, but returned for the Daytona 500 with tickets dozens of rows farther away from the track.
"I thought it was just neat to see the cars going by that close," Spencer said. "After yesterday, though, I definitely will reconsider sitting lower ever again."
The tire that flew into the stands landed a couple of rows above where they had been standing. After the crash, looking around at the people seriously injured, Spencer said he decided to take his brother to a hospital himself so that speedway crews and paramedics could focus on the people who needed more help.
"The only way to describe it was like a bomb went off, and the car pretty much exploded," Spencer said.
Track workers finished repairs about 2 a.m. Sunday, having installed a new fence post, new metal meshing and part of the concrete wall.
Officials decided not to rebuild the collapsed cross-over gate, which allows fans to travel between the stands and the infield before races.
Daytona has a grandstand remodel planned. Chitwood said the injuries could prompt a redesign that might include sturdier fences or stands further away from the on-track action.
"It's tough to connect the two right now in terms of a potential redevelopment and what occurred," Chitwood said. "We were prepared yesterday, had emergency medical respond. As we learn from this, you bet: If there are things that we can incorporate into the future, whether it's the current property now or any other redevelopment, we will.
"The key is sitting down with NASCAR, finding out the things that happened and how we deal with them."
Daytona reexamined its fencing and ended up replacing the entire thing following Carl Edwards' scary crash at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama in 2009. Edwards' car sailed into the fence and spewed debris into the stands.
"We've made improvements since then," Chitwood said. "I think that's the key: that we learn from this and figure out what else we need to do."
NASCAR plans to take what remained of Larson's sheared car along with debris back to its research and development centre in Charlotte, N.C., for testing.
"We'll bring in the best and brightest," said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR's senior vice-president for racing operations. "Anything we can learn will be put in place. ... Fans are our first priority. Obviously we want everybody to be safe at an event. We've talked to the speedway. We're confident in what's in place at today's event. Certainly still thinking about those affected, but we're confident to move forward for this race."
The 12-car crash began as the front-runners approached the checkered flag. Leader Regan Smith attempted to block Brad Keselowski for the win, triggering a pileup that could have been much worse.
Larson's burning engine wedged through a gaping hole in the fence. Parts and pieces of his car sprayed into the stands, including a tire that cleared the top of the fence and landed midway up the spectator section closest to the track.
The 20-year-old Larson stood in shock a few feet from his car as fans in the stands waved frantically for help. Smoke from the burning engine briefly clouded the area, and emergency vehicles descended on the scene.
Ambulance sirens could be heard wailing behind the grandstands at a time the race winner would typically be doing celebratory burnouts.
"It was freaky. When I looked to my right, the accident happened," Rick Harpster of Orange Park said. "I looked over and I saw a tire fly straight over the fence into the stands, but after that I didn't see anything else. That was the worst thing I have seen, seeing that tire fly into the stands. I knew it was going to be severe."
In 1987, Bobby Allison's car lifted off the track at Talladega while running over 200 mph, careening into the steel-cable fence and scattering debris into the crowd. That crash led to the use of horsepower-sapping restrictor plates at Talladega and its sister track in Daytona, NASCAR's fastest layouts.
As a result, the cars all run nearly the same speed, and the field is typically bunched tightly together -- which plenty of drivers have warned is actually a more dangerous scenario than higher speeds.
"That's one of the things that really does scare you," Allison said Sunday. "But it's always a possibility because of the speeds, where they are."

H.S. cross country: All-Ohioans lead runners selected for All-Stark County teams
Three All-Ohio runners — juniors Jacob Kernell of Lake and Ty Raybuck of Marlington, and St. Thomas Aquinas sophomore Athena Welsh — were among the top individual award winners for the All-Stark County Cross Country Teams, which are selected by the coaches.
Kernell was selected as the Division I Boys Runner of the Year. He earned All-Ohio honors by finishing 14th at the state meet this season. He won the Stark County Championship meet by 32 seconds, and owned the county's fastest time this season, a 15:40.2 at the Claymont Invitational.
Raybuck was the runner of the year in Division II after finishing 10th at the state meet to become an All-Ohioan.
St. Thomas Aquinas sophomore Jacob Paul was named the Division III Runner of the Year. Paul finished second at the district meet.
For the girls, Welsh was the Division III Runner of the Year after helping lead the Knights to a fourth-place team finish at the state meet. Welsh won the Division III race at the Boardman Spartan Invitational and was a regional runner-up. She also owned the county's fastest girls time this season, an 18:58.1 she ran at the state meet to finish sixth individually — the top state finish by a Stark runner this year.
GlenOak junior Hannah Thompson was the Division I Runner of the Year. She was second overall at the Federal League and Stark County meets, won a district title, and took fourth at regionals to qualify for state.
Central Catholic sophomore Rachel Reolfi was named the Division II Runner of the Year after being a state qualifier for the Crusaders. She finished 37th at state in 19:44.90
The Stark County Cross Country Coaches Association also selected its scholarship winners for this year. The six seniors, each receiving $500 college scholarships, are Jade Smith of Lake, Laura Tweedie of Lake, Ryan Green of Louisville, Amanda Vincent of Aquinas, Scott Fichter of Central Catholic and Joe Volpe of Perry.

The debate over the current role MLIS programs can play in the library industry keeps popping up. For a recent example, check out Will Manley's blog, Will Unwound, which asks some important questions: Are too many graduates being spit out into the shrinking job pool? Are graduate programs, in their ivory towers, isolating themselves from current realities? Are online programs supporting or corroding the industry? Is an MLIS just a union-card, only necessary to further our careers?
Here's another question to add to the mix: in terms of MLIS programs, should the American Library Association step in and make a gesture to try and calm the storm this recession has stirred up?
While you think about that, here's a precedent to my question:
In November 2009, the American Bar Association released the following report: "ABA Commission on the Impact of the Economic Crises on the Profession and Legal Needs." It was a warning of sorts, recognizing that the cost of a law degree was going up while the average salary was going down – and it shared some stark numbers (more on that later). While the ABA did not want to dissuade any potential students from entering law school, it did want to send a clear message that "all law school applicants should have a clear picture in the debt that they will incur and the expected earning power of graduates from the schools to which they were applying." They were looking out for future lawyers.
When I first saw this report I found it interesting that a professional association would publish such an honest assessment of the current employment situation. So I posted it on my blog, asking if the American Library Association should do the same. With ALA 2011 right around the corner, I thought it would be an appropriate time to reexamine this question.
In researching employment statistics for the Library Industry, I turned to Library Journal's Placement and Salary Survey 2010, which seemed to offer up the most current information – looking at job trends from 2008-2009. Here are some of the facts that I pulled from this report:
- In 2009, there appeared to be a decrease in the number of students graduating – about 7%. The report does acknowledge that this could be from less students applying, or from students not being able to complete programs due to a lack of available financial assistance.
- That said, library schools reported receiving an average of 22% fewer job announcements, with the average job search of new graduates lasting 4.5-months
- The national average salary is up 1.5% ($42,215 – up from $41,579) and full time placements are up 3.1%. But so are part time placements (4.5%), temporary placements (2.8%) and non-professional placements (5.9%) and unemployment (7.3%)
- Speaking of part time employment, of those who are employed part-time, 34% of them have accepted two part time jobs after graduation.
- Academic libraries had a drop in job placements: from 31% in 2008 to 20% in 2009, and public libraries had 8.4% fewer placements and an average salary increase of less than 1%.
To summarize, while there may be fewer graduates, there are even less jobs being posted, creating a four-five month long job search, often resulting in graduates accepting multiple part-time and temporary positions to make enough money to both survive and to start to pay off loans.
Now, let's look at what was the state of law schools was when the ABA released it's report. In 2008 the average student was taking out between $70,000 and $100,000 to pay for graduate school, and upon graduation the majority of students were making less than the national average salary for lawyers (about $65,000), when in previous years students were being picked up by private firms and offered annual salaries $160,000. Apparently the private firms aren't hiring like they used to.
While I think we should look a bit deeper at the current state of recent MLIS graduates before we make a strict comparison between the two professional groups, I do think there are some correlations that can be drawn from these numbers. Granted, the library student may not be taking out quite as much in loans (depending on the program, of course) but it also has never been common for first-year librarians to make six figures. And, as the Library Journal report shows while there are jobs, they are harder and harder to come by and students are having to get creative in making ends meet.
So, should the ALA follow the ABA and release a report or statement warning individuals thinking about entering in the report? Personally, I think it would be the polite thing to do. But we would love to hear your thoughts…
Whether it does or does not issue a warning, there is still hope. The report does point out niches within the industry that are hiring at a faster rate than most, namely archives and digital libraries. And many students are finding gainful employment outside of the library industry, finding novel ways of putting their library schools skills to work in non-traditional roles.
And, if you are a job hunter and heading to New Orleans for the annual conference, there are some resources at your disposal. Before going, check Micah's list of recommended sessions, Annie and Lauren's conversation on networking, and when you there stop by the Joblist placement center. Or, if you aren't attending the conference (like me), Nicole put together a great list of ways to follow with out even being there.
Again, this is an important issue, for new and veteran librarians alike. Please share your thoughts with us so we can keep the conversation going!

It is our goal to keep your mouth healthy, your teeth fully functional, and your smile bright — and we are proud of all the services we offer to do exactly that. At the same time, we want you to understand all that modern dentistry in general has to offer you. To that end, we have assembled a first-rate dental library in which you can find a wealth of information on various dental topics, including:
Cosmetic & General Dentistry
From a thorough professional cleaning to a full smile makeover, there is an amazing array of services that cosmetic and general dentists offer to make sure your teeth stay healthy, function well and look great. If your smile is not all you want it to be, this is the place to start. Read more about Cosmetic & General Dentistry.
Emergency Dental Care
When you have a dental emergency — whether it's caused by a sudden accident or chronic disease — your teeth and/or the tissues of the mouth that surround them need to receive proper care right away. It's also important to be aware, before you're actually in the situation, of what you can do to ensure the best outcome. Read more about Emergency Dental Care.
This is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the inside of the tooth — specifically the root canals and sensitive, inner pulp (nerve) tissue. When this tissue becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal procedure may become necessary. But contrary to the popular myth, a root canal doesn't cause pain, it relives it. Read more about Endodontics.
Implant Dentistry
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the comfort and security of a permanent replacement that looks and functions just like your natural teeth. Dental implants also help preserve the tooth-supporting bone in your jaw that naturally deteriorates when even one tooth is lost. Read more about Implant Dentistry.
Oral Health
Oral health is an essential component of general health and well-being. Good oral health means a mouth that's free of disease; a bite that functions well enough for you to eat without pain and get ample nutrition; and a smile that lets you express your happiest emotions with confidence. Read more about Oral Health.
Oral Hygiene
A major goal of modern dentistry is to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for a lifetime. By following a conscientious program of oral hygiene at home, and coming to the dental office for routine cleanings and exams, you have the best chance of making this goal a reality. Read more about Oral Hygiene.
Oral Surgery
The word "surgery" often brings to mind a stay in the hospital, general anesthesia, and perhaps a lengthy recovery period. However, the experience of having oral surgery is usually very different from that. Some common oral surgery procedures include: tooth extractions, dental implant placement, and biopsies of suspicious oral lesions. Read more about Oral Surgery.
Adults and kids alike can benefit from the boost in self-confidence that comes from having a great-looking smile with beautifully aligned teeth. Orthodontic treatment can even improve chewing, speaking and oral hygiene in certain cases. And with today's virtually invisible orthodontic appliances, it's possible to keep your treatment a private matter… until your new smile is unveiled, of course! Read more about Orthodontics.
Pediatric Dentistry
It's never too early to get your child started on the path toward a lifetime of good oral health, and there are many services to do exactly that. Monitoring your child's dental growth and development, and preventing and intercepting dental diseases along the way, is the primary focus of pediatric dentistry. Read more about Pediatric Dentistry.
Periodontal Therapy
If you want to keep your teeth for life — a completely reasonable goal in this day and age — you need to make sure the tissues that surround them are also healthy. Should gum problems arise, you may need periodontal therapy to restore diseased tissues to health. Read more about Periodontal Therapy.
In the field of dentistry, new technology is constantly changing the way diseases are diagnosed, routine procedures are performed, and illnesses are prevented. Although they may seem unfamiliar at first, new and improved dental technologies offer plenty of real benefits for patients. Read more about Technology.
Endodontics is the dental specialty that deals with tissues and structures located inside the tooth. One of the most common endodontic treatments is root canal therapy, a procedure which effectively eases the pain associated with a bacterial infection deep within the pulp of the tooth. Of course, root canal treatment doesn't just relieve pain — it also stops the infection by removing dead and dying tissue from the tooth's pulp. Plus, it helps to save the tooth, which is in danger of being lost if left untreated.
Yet root canal therapy isn't the only treatment endodontics offers. This field also deals with cases of dental trauma, performs microsurgery on the tips of the tooth's roots, and even helps figure out what's going on when tooth pain seems to come and go intermittently, or when the pain isn't localized at one tooth. So when it comes to preserving your natural teeth, endodontics has plenty of ways to help.
The Inside Story
What's inside your teeth? Behind the tough, shiny enamel of the tooth's visible crown lies the sturdy inner tissue called dentin. Dentin is also found behind the cementum that forms the outer layer of the tooth's roots — in fact, it makes up the bulk of the tooth's structure. Similar in many ways to bone tissue, dentin is composed of many tiny tubules which can transmit sensations to nerve cells when it is stimulated.
At the core of the tooth, inside small, branching chambers called the root canals, we find the soft pulp tissue. This consists of nerves, connective tissues and blood vessels which extend into the center of the tooth and exit through canals near the apex (tip) of the tooth's roots. When problems (such as infection and inflammation) develop in the pulp tissue, your first indication of trouble may be tooth sensitivity — or intense pain. In time, as the nerves die, the pain may go away… but the problem won't. In fact, if left untreated, the end result may be tooth loss.
The "Root" of the Problem
What could cause the pulp tissue to become diseased and lead to root canal problems? One potential source of infection is untreated tooth decay, which can allow bacteria from the tooth's surface to work its way deep inside. A crack or fracture in a tooth could offer another pathway for microorganisms to infect the pulp.
Dental trauma — from a sports injury, for example — may also damage dentin or pulp, or expose it to infection. Extensive dental procedures (such as multiple fillings or restorations on the same tooth) may cause trouble; occasionally, even routine procedures like orthodontics may eventually lead to root canal problems.
Endodontic Treatment
The old gag line "I'd rather have a root canal" may still get a laugh — but root canal problems are no joke. It's important to remember that root canal treatment doesn't cause pain; it relieves pain. A typical root canal procedure is performed with local anesthetics, and doesn't cause any more discomfort than having a filling. Here's what to expect:
First, you will receive anesthesia (usually a numbing shot) — and for many patients, the worst is now over. Next, a small opening is made in the tooth surface to give access to the pulp chamber and root canals. Then, tiny instruments are used — often with the aid of a microscope — to remove dead and dying tissue from inside the narrow passages. These passages are then cleaned, disinfected, and filled with a safe, inert material. Finally, the opening in the tooth is sealed to prevent contamination.
Other endodontic treatments may be recommended for removing sources of infection and preventing future problems. Following an endodontic procedure, it may be necessary to have a restoration (such as a crown) placed on the tooth to restore it to full function and aesthetic appearance. After that, with proper care the restored tooth should last for many years.

Mayor: Cop killer said he was 'going to be famous'
JERSEY CITY – A gunman who killed a rookie officer responding to a report of an armed robbery at a drugstore early Sunday never tried to rob the store and instead lay in wait for police, telling a witness to watch the news because he was "going to be famous," authorities said.
Lawrence Campbell shot Officer Melvin Santiago in the head shortly after he and his partner arrived at the 24-hour Walgreens at around 4 a.m., Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop said. Other officers returned fire at Campbell, killing him.
Campbell, 27, of Jersey City, was one of three suspects wanted by police for a prior homicide, Fulop said.
Fulop said Campbell was carrying a knife when he walked into Walgreens and asked for directions to the greeting card aisle. He assaulted an armed security guard at the store and snatched his gun, Fulop said. He waited for officers to arrive, then shot Santiago with what police believe was the guard's weapon.
"Today was a horrible day for Jersey City," Fulop said.
Dozens of officers stood single file at the entrance of the hospital and saluted as Santiago's flag-draped body was carried into an ambulance. A handful of younger officers consoled one another as they walked away. Santiago, 23, graduated from the police academy in December.
Fulop was there when Santiago's body arrived at the hospital. As Santiago's mother identified the body, Fulop said, she "just keep repeating the badge number and saying that it's not possible."
Santiago is the first Jersey City officer killed in the line of duty since Detective Marc DiNardo died in July 2009 during a raid on an apartment while searching for suspects in a robbery.
"It is a tragic situation when any officer is killed in the line of duty," Fulop said. "Melvin was an officer who represented everything one would want to see in a police officer. I know the entire city's thoughts and prayers are with the Santiago family during this difficult time and we mourn together."
Jean Belviso, who has been delivering newspapers for 10 years, was driving through the Walgreens parking lot when she said saw a man wearing burgundy sweatpants and a baseball cap walk out of the store. A police cruiser pulled up in front of Walgreens, and the suspect began shooting, the 61-year-old Belviso said.
"We thought he was running, coming toward us," said Belviso, who was riding along with a friend. "He kept on shooting."
Bullets flew through the cruiser's windshield, 13 in all. The suspect was shot multiple times, and officers slapped handcuffs on him, Belviso said.
Campbell's body remained on the ground next to the bullet-riddled cruiser for more than five hours after the shooting before it was placed in a coroner's van and taken away.
Markeisha Marshall, a spokeswoman for Walgreens, said the company was "deeply regretful" over the officer's death and extended its sympathies to his family and friends. The store has round-the-clock armed security, Marshall noted.
Police are also searching for another man who they believe was involved in the previous homicide with Campbell, Fulop said. They have been aggressively seeking Daniel Wilson for the last three days, Fulop said.
The Jersey City Police Benevolent Association said in a statement that their hearts were heavy over Santiago's death.
"Patrolman Santiago knew the risks associated with this job, yet he put himself in front of danger in order to keep Jersey City safe," the association said. "Words cannot adequately express our feelings about this senseless tragedy."
The officer's stepfather, Alex McBride, said Santiago was "very proud" to be a police officer, following in the footsteps of his uncle. McBride said he had been in Santiago's life for 14 years, noting that his stepson had wanted to be a police officer since playing the "Call of Duty" video game.
"Melvin was the best kid," he said, choking up as he sat hunched over on a plastic crate in an alley outside the family's apartment. "I watched him graduate from high school. He joined every sport, everything. He never did no harm to nobody. And he was full of life."
Gary Nahrwold, 24, recalled his friend Santiago first saying a decade ago that he wanted to become a police officer. Nahrwold also hopes to join the force and said he won't be discouraged by Santiago's slaying.
"It just gives me more purpose to do it," he said. "I'm not going to be deterred by some senseless crimes."

Every computer, tablet, phone - represents color in a different way. Typically, this is no where near what the color actually looks like in person. Please do not base your fabric choice on the image you are seeing - for every listing, there is a DMC floss reference. Please use THIS information when deciding on a color for your project. But also remember that even this is just a reference. The hand-dyed fabric is just that - it is dyed entirely by hand - not mass produced in a factory some where. Each and every piece will be slightly different. We are also available for help and suggestions, please contact us and we will be happy to provide assistance.
There were two things we considered when experimenting with different dyeing techniques - the stiffness of the fabric that we wanted to use and the desire for a virtually wrinkle free product. After much experimentation, it became apparent that the traditional dip-dye technique would not work for us for the Aida. We decided to go with a brush-on technique that results in a beautiful, muted finish with subtle shading. To achieve a wrinkle free product, the fabric is laid flat to dry. While either side may be stitched on, there is generally a right and wrong side. We roll and package the fabric with the "right" side out.
Our linen, Lugana and other evenweaves are dyed with a traditional dip-dye. The result is slightly lighter than our Aida.
We ship on the same day that the shipping label is printed. We cannot control how long it takes for USPS or Fed Ex to get the item to you. Since Covid, there have been delays in customers receiving the orders. However, items are rarely actually lost in the mail. In the event that USPS marks an item as "in transit, arriving late" - we will not issue a refund or mail a new item out until at least 30 days have passed with out any updated tracking information. After 30 days, we will assume the item is truly lost in the mail and a new item will be shipped or a refund will be issued.

Police & Fire: January 18, 2013
Snowmobile accident
City police responded to a Thursday accident on W. 4th 100 feet north of Oak Street where a snowmobile struck a vehicle causing it to leave the pavement and crash into a nearby railroad crossing sign.
The 16-year-old operator of the sled escaped without injury despite being ejected from the machine.
The Brimley teen, whose name was not officially released due to his juvenile status, was cited for failure to yield.
Disorderly person
Sault Police were summoned to the 400 block of Ashmun early today where a man was found passed out on the stairs. After some effort, police were able to awaken the man, but did not feel he would be capable of caring for himself if he were allowed to walk home on his own.
Matthew C. Casey of the Sault was arrested for disorderly endangering after explaining he had combined alcohol with his medication.
Casey was conveyed to War Memorial Hospital for treatment and subsequently released on a personal recognizance bond.
Accident investigation
City police issued one citation following their investigation into a Thursday evening accident on the I-75 Business Spur.
According to reports, a vehicle driven by Ethan B. Matson, 18, of the Sault lost control on the slippery road surface and crashed into a second causing moderate damage. All of the involved parties escaped unscathed.
Matson was cited for violation of the basic speed law- too fast for conditions.
Sault Police are also investigating the theft of a lap top computer from a residence. The theft is believed to have occurred sometime between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Thursday while one individual was asleep inside the residence.
The missing electronics equipment is valued at $250.
There are no suspects in this matter.
Sault Firefighters were called to a parking lot off of Peck Street shortly after 6 a.m. today after a passerby observed a burning vehicle.
Firefighters extinguished the 2000 Ford Focus and expressed the belief early this morning that the vehicle was a total loss after clearing the scene at 6:48 a.m.
The fire is believed to have started in the engine compartment.

Tong Balm
Item #1119
LAST DAY to get it by Valentine's
with Expedited Shipping
Get a Free Mystery Gift at $17+ Select in Cart
Product Description
Our top-performing male delay cream!
Extend your love-making as long as you want!
"It really works. Bottom line. I've been lasting longer than I ever thought possible. 40 minutes to an hour. I can finish when I want with a little concentration, & when I do finish, it's really intense. This is the best product of this type that my wife & I have ever purchased." –Adam & Eve customer
Forget all the mumbo-jumbo talk about special ingredients and secret Asian formulas passed down for centuries. Adam & Eve customers have been using Tong Balm for decades, and that's the only endorsement that really matters. If Tong Balm didn't work, then we would have stopped selling it years ago!
• Enhances your sensations instead of numbing or desensitizing
• Boosts muscle control so you can orgasm when you want to
• Follow the directions closely for best results
• Apply to your tip once an hour for three hours before sex
• Becomes more effective the longer you use it
• Results may vary depending on a number of factors
Most products claiming to delay ejaculation work by desensitizing or numbing the nerves in the penis, but Tong Balm actually enhances your sensation. Instead, the cream delays your ejaculation by increasing your self control. By enhancing and improving your muscular control, Tong Balm lets you exercise a new level of control over your orgasm. You'll be able to fully satisfy your partner, improve your relationship, and never be called a "minute man" again. Tong Balm lets you climax when you want to… not before and not after.
For best results, you need to closely follow the directions included with your order. As a general outline, you start by placing a small dab of Tong balm underneath the tip of the penis three hours before sex. Apply another small dab two hours before sex and a third dab one hour before sex.
The key to using Tong Balm is to apply a very small amount at a time. If you apply too much, the product won't work. Proper use of Tong Balm requires some experimentation, so don't be discouraged if your first results aren't what you expected. On the positive side, Tong Balm becomes more and more effective the longer you use it so your experiments will prove beneficial in the long run.
Please note that results of Tong Balm may vary depending on the user's physical condition, body chemistry and other factors.
Tong Balm comes in a discreet plastic case with a pop-open lid, so you can hide it easily at home or carry it around in your pocket if you think you might get lucky. The small case is roughly the size of three quarters stacked together, but it contains enough balm for dozens of applications and hours of steamy sex!
Ingredients: Tongkat bark, Ginseng, Aloeswood, Alcohol, Aromatic oil, 95% Petrolatum.

This is the second of two posts on this site about Paul Newman's comments on how he wants to be remembered.
"I envy Laurence Olivier, because he seems to have endless resources in him to develop and be a different character each time," Paul Newman said early in his career as an actor. "I feel I perhaps don't have the imagination to change."
Lionel Godfrey, who quotes that unsourced comment in Paul Newman: Superstar: A Critical Biography (St. Martin's, 1979) goes on to say of Newman and Olivier:
"Since one is par excellence a screen-actor and the other's sphere, despite great film-performances, has always been pre-eminently the stage, it is difficult to compare the two stars. But in the 12 years or so since he modestly made that statement, Paul has more than proved his own versatility and the creative resources he can bring to new, unusual roles. He has often told interviewers, 'I don't want to die and have written on my tombstone: 'He was a helluva actor until one day his eyes turned brown.'"

Moving past politics of blame
President Barack Obama is heading out on the road.
Polls are showing that the Republicans damaged their party brand when they shut down the government in order to try to stop the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
That strategy failed miserably. If the Republicans we're thinking ahead, they would have told everyone to watch out because this "Obamacare" stuff was really going into effect now. They would have tied that horrible website and program roll out to Obama and the Democrats and then they could have come in with a plan to delay implementation so they could have saved the day.
Instead, they cost the country about $24 billion with a shutdown.
Sensing a chance to retake a little political ground, Obama is going out to raise money and find candidates to run in races where Republican incumbents are most vulnerable.
I would like to see both parties move past the politics of blame.
"It's their fault things aren't going well," one party says.
"Things would be even worse if we weren't in office," the other responds.
I would love to see the focus of elections move to which candidate would govern best rather than which one can salute the most flags, kiss the most babies and spout the most platitudes in a 30-second campaign commercial paid for by out of state money.
Isn't it time to look for substance over style for a change?
I get so tired of having to try to decide who to vote for based on which one of them is the lesser of two evils.
I would love to see Obama put out an agenda and tell voters what the Democrats could accomplish if voters give the Democrats control of the House of Representatives again if the country goes back to the Democrat control of both houses of Congress and the White House like 2008-2010.
It is ridiculous how many people have been elected based on what they would not allow to happen. It would be nice if the Republicans could make the argument that they could accomplish certain goals if their party's candidates were elected.
Then voters could identify the platform they would most like to see brought to fruition.
Instead, we will face another year of accusations and insinuations and voters will become more apathetic because that show is hard to watch year after year.
That style has been the key to our lack of success. Congress has only passed a few dozen bills this session because they are too busy working against each other to work with each other. We may never have another budget pass again and the only time anything happens at all is to avoid a shutdown or end one.
If you elect do-nothing candidates, you get a do-nothing Congress. I don't mind Obama raising funds and awareness. It is part of his job. But I hope he is able to sell an agenda as well as an opportunity. I don't want to have candidates who are a little less bad than the ones we have now.
I want to vote for someone who can and will get something done.
I hope this happens, but I won't hold my breath.

Clive James in the essay "Little Low Heavens" in the September 2008 issue of Poetry:
" … think of 'Spring,' by Gerard Manley Hopkins. Everyone knows the first line because everyone knows the poem. 'Nothing is so beautiful as Spring' is a line that hundreds of poets could have written, and was probably designed to sound that way: designed, that is, to be merely unexceptionable, or even flat. Only two lines further on, however, we get 'Thrush's eggs look like little low heavens' and we are electrified. I can confidently say 'we' because nobody capable of reading poetry at all could read those few words and not feel the wattage."
"Previously in this magazine I mentioned the Amy Clampitt poem with the exquisite few lines about the cheetah whose coat, when she ran, turned from a petalled garden into a sandstorm. Nobody who has ever read that poem can possibly have forgotten that moment."
Clive James www.clivejames.com is a wonderful critic whose many sparkling reviews include a much-anthologized evisceration of Judith Krantz's Princess Daisy that remains a model of its form nearly 30 years after its publication. And "Little Low Heavens" makes the worthy argument that the structure of a poem matters.
But James loses it in "Everyone knows the first line because everyone knows the poem," "nobody capable of reading poetry at all could read those few words and not feel the wattage," and "Nobody who has ever read that poem can possibly have forgotten that moment." These lines are just gush. It's pure snobbery to say that if you can't "feel the wattage" of Hopkins's words you're not "capable of reading poetry at all." People respond to poetry on different levels.
As for James's comment that nobody "can possibly have forgotten" the Clampitt line: I mentioned earlier this week that I had forgotten seven lines from Hamlet, a work I revere above all others in English literature. Alas, poor Clampitt, I could forget hers, too.
