Note: This is just a first stab at extracting information from IMLS reports, which it turns out is not as easy as I had originally hoped ;) see next post for more accurate findings.
Preliminary closing data
I recently came across a few blog posts that discussed having some difficulty finding data on public library closures. So I decided to dive into the raw data files from the IMLS and see what I could find. Here are the numbers for 2008 and 2009 the only years that specifically record closures. For a sense of scale each year we see about 1/2% of public libraries close, and half of that are branch libraries.
I have a few ideas on how I can expand this (look for libraries that don't repeat in the next years data). I'd really like the expand on this is data a bit more, and I have a few interesting projects I'd like to try out as well. Sometime soon expect data for years from 1998-2009 if not further back.
As an added bonus I've also posted the source for the code I've been working on tonight in order to pull this data together. Feel free to play on your own!

Updated: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 07:38:03 MST
DENVER (AP) - A proposal to raise the tobacco age to 21 has been approved by a Colorado House panel.
The bipartisan bill could make Colorado the first with a statewide 21-to-smoke law. It passed the House Health, Insurance, and Environment Committee on a 6-4 party-line vote Thursday afternoon.
People who are currently between the ages of 18 and 20 would be grandfathered in, meaning the measure wouldn't be fully implemented until today's 17-year-olds are 21.
It's not clear how many of Colorado's current smokers are younger than 21. However, doctors say that 9 out of 10 daily smokers have their first cigarette by 18 years of age.
The measure awaits one more committee vote before heading to the full House.

What's inside the iPhone 6 Plus?
A teardown of the new iPhone 6 Plus reveals hidden innovations that Apple didn't tell us about.
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes sifts through the marketing hyperbole and casts his critical eye over the latest technological innovations to find out which products make the grade and which don't.
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes is an internationally published technology author who has devoted over a decade to helping users get the most from technology.
A teardown of the new iPhone 6 Plus reveals hidden innovations that Apple didn't tell us about.
When Apple added OTA (Over The Air) updating to iOS, it promised a simple, streamlined update experience. So why have I just spent the best part of an hour deleting apps and files to make room for iOS 8?
While most users can safely upgrade to iOS 8 or a new iPhone 6 without much worry, BYOD users should wait until their IT department gives them the nod that it's safe to do so.
Apple CEO Tim Cook says that the TV interface is "terrible," but is there enough consumer interest in revolutionizing TV to make it worth Apple's time entering into the market?
Apple is typically a company that puts an enormous amount of meticulous thought into the aesthetics of its products, which makes this iPhone 6 design blunder even harder to understand.
Apple's decision to offer the iPhone 6 in two different screen sizes presents me with a dilemma – do I play it safe and go for the 4.7-inch model, or throw caution to the wind and get the 5.5-inch version?
The data released by Google shows that while Jelly Bean now powers more than half of all Android devices, KitKat now runs almost one over of every four devices.
Time to take a look at the hardware specs of Apple's new flagship handset, and see how they compare to the models they replace.
Over the course of the two-hour unveiling, the Cupertino giant disrupted a whole raft of business models with its new products and services.
While the Apple Watch won't go on sale until early 2015, we got a huge amount of information dumped on us, and ahead of getting our hands on a working Apple Watch, we can start to work out way through this information and come to some conclusions.

GAO provided information on whether interim guidance for investigating Title VI administrative complaints challenging permits issued by the Environmental Protection Agency is a rule under the Congressional Review Act portion of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Act (SBREFA). GAO held that, irrespective of whether or not in isolation the second portion of the interim guidance is properly viewed as procedural, considered as a whole, the interim guidance clearly affects the rights of non-agency parties. Thus, it constitutes a rule under SBREFA subject to congressional review.

Peaceful Place
Overall this property is a 10! OUR whole group had a wonderful time and was very happy overall. The property can use some TLC....the floors and carpets were/are not clean. Some of the mattresses need upgrading...the smaller property needs a new AC and the smaller kitchen is sadly stocked with utensils and cooking pans. We definitely would love to return to this beautiful view and pleasant property. Great vacation spot
Amazing Vacation Destination
We came on vacation to this home and absolutely loved it. Out kids had a blast in the pool, playing ball on the basketball court, and running around the spacious property. The adults got to take advantage of the billboards room, hot tub, multiple grills and the firepit. Oh, and the gazebo with the huge hammock? Pure relaxation.... We came on vacation with another couple and their kids and there were more then enough rooms for everyone. Each family had complete privacy in a separate wing of the house, there are even multiple kitchens and private dens with flat green TV's.... Suffice to say we will most definitely be returning!
Fantastic Rental!!!!!!
This property is a great value for the money. The location was easy to find and the layout and amenities offered a warm and cozy atmosphere with lots to do and loads of space. The most appealing feature for my family was the oversized family room, dining area, and kitchen. We were truly able to be together! It was the only property, for our desired location, that was wheelchair accessible. The house is nearby to many attractions, however; because the space offered so much, we hardly left to go anywhere else. The customer service was excellent. I have already recommended it friends and family.

WORCESTER, MA (WKZO) – Following four successful seasons with Western Michigan University, Bronco forward Dane Walters has signed an amateur try out agreement with the Worcester Sharks of the American Hockey League.
Walters appeared in 144 games for the Broncos, scoring 39 goals and 44 assists for a career point total of 83 points. His junior campaign was his best, leading the Brown and Gold with 16 goals and 29 points, finishing with a +15 plus/minus for the year. Walters scored one of the three goals in the CCHA championship game helping the Broncos defeat Michigan 3-2 for the 2012 conference title.
One of three captains on this year's team, Walters finished his senior season tied for the team lead in points with 25 including a team-high 12 goals. He is the second player in program history to earn the CCHA's Best Defensive Forward Award. The last Bronco to do so was current assistant Pat Ferschweiler in 1994.
Dane joins former Bronco Matt Tennyson who signed with the San Jose Sharks after last season. Tennyson tallied 27 points in 60 games for Worcester.

Given the monsoons outside, Tuesday, October 2, was a great day to be indoors, particularly if you were in Laub Lounge around 11 a.m. The official student celebration of Northampton Community College's 45th anniversary was held, complete with music, dancing, singing, games, confetti cannons and cake.
Bryon Garrison was the event MC, and David Yarborough, a.k.a. "DJ Grimez," played music from all six decades of NCC's history (1967-2012). Noah Smith read a poem, and Alex Camareri gave a non-denominational dedication.
The NCC Community Chorus sang the alma mater, and Acta Non Verba, NCC's dance club, performed an original piece called "My Strength." Mike Agosto played a piano rendition of happy birthday to Sam Spartan and NCC, followed by a sing-along version in Spanish. Both songs were followed by a confetti-cannon blast.
And then there was cake! Dr. Erickson ceremonially cut the 45th anniversary cake, before being presented with a commemorative orange shovel, complete with NCC logo, by the Student Senate, "in case you ever want to expand."
Student Senate President Tim Semonich hosted an NCC version of the game show "Family Feud," in which members of the Hispanic American Cultural Club and International Student Organization were pitted against the Residence Hall and Honors Club. Each team tried to guess what surveyed NCC students answered to questions like "Where's the best place to pick up a number?" (the cafeteria), "Where's the best place to catch some z's?" (okay, who said "in class?!"), and "What's the biggest distraction in class?" (cell phones and the opposite sex).
Semonich ended the formal part of the celebration by drawing tickets for prizes in the Spartan Rewards program. $100 gift cards for Melt, ArtsQuest, Walmart, Visa and Flex Dollars went to lucky winners who had earned tickets by attending Student Life events.
A similar celebration is planned for Wednesday, October 3, at the Monroe Campus at noon.

HP entering the Chromebook arena next month
Source: Ars Technica
When Google first introduced the Chromebook concept a lot of people scoffed at the idea of a laptop that only ran a web browser. Undaunted, Google got the party started by giving away a bunch of CR-48 Chromebooks in late 2010, with the first commercial units hitting the market in mid-2011. After a bit of initial excitement, these units from Acer and Samsung dropped off most people's radar and became hard to find.
But Google kept working on Chrome OS (and it's starting to feel more like an OS and less like a web browser) and both Samsung and Acer have stayed in the game. The first Chromebooks were frankly over-priced, but now you can get Acer's new C7 Chromebook for $199 which seems to be a price point that is getting some attention. Acer President Jim Wong told Bloomberg that the C7 has accounted for 5-10% of US shipments since it was released in November. Wong suggests the reason is that Chrome is more secure than Windows 8, but to be fair he seems to have an axe to grind with Microsoft.
I generally leave my Chromebook in the living room and use it when I need to look something up online or write an email. In a lot of ways it competes with my tablets. Tablets are better for consuming some kinds of data, but the Chromebook is much better for any kind of writing. My one real gripe is that the screen and keyboard are both fairly small. My (last generation) Acer feels more like a netbook than a laptop.
This is why I'm excited by a story making the rounds yesterday. Apparently HP had an issue with their online store and leaked the fact that we're going to see an HP Chromebook starting next month. The story comes from Slashgear, and the article links to a PDF on the HP site, though when I tried to check it out it came up blank. Ars Technica also covered this story and they seem to have grabbed a copy of the PDF that is accessible.
Assuming this is all on the up and up, HP will roll out a Pavillion Chromebook with a 14" screen and what looks to be a full-sized keyboard. Now the screen resolution will still only be 1366 x 768 and the processor is the same as on the Acer S7 (an Intel Celeron 847 running at 1.1 Ghz) so I'm hoping for a price closer to that of the Acer than Samsung's Series 5. The Series 5 has a 1.3 Ghz 867 CPU and a 12.1" 1200x800 screen, but it lists for $559 which puts us back in the 'why not just buy a Windows laptop' price range. The PDF lists an ad embargo date of February 17th so we should have a lot more details in just a few weeks.
It's good to see another manufacturer jumping into the Chromebook pool, and I appreciate that HP is providing a larger screen and a full sized keyboard, but I still want more. I'd like to see a Chromebook that is capable of playing back 1080P video. So far none of the models offered have the screen resolution or (I suspect) the processing power to do that. I understand why — one of the best features of these Chromebooks are their long battery life. But we need more options in this market, not a lot of me-too clones. Some users might appreciate more power even if they have to stay near an outlet.

The most accurate air rifle I've owned. Well balanced. Love the scope. Squirrels don't stand a chance. Much quieter than my rws 350 maqnum with less kick.
product is not as "whisper" quiet as I had hoped. But good shooter.....
So far very happy. The gun is accurate (once sighted in) both with the iron sights and the scope. Shot a squirrel raiding my blue berries the first day from about 40 yards.
Haven't used the scope yet, but the iron sights are good.
You need to have one of these, A lot of fun. Very accurate and powerful. Happy to say I am amazed. Wish I got one a long time ago.

Today's CMOs have access to unprecedented quantities and types of data. But in order to effectively lead, they must solve how to move
from data to intelligence; from reacting to a set of numbers to a strategic approach that a) understands what the numbers add up to, and b) enables them to take the right actions based on the insights gleaned.
Across sectors and industries, from smaller startups to established multinationals, marketers need a framework that converts information to usable insight, which is why we've developed Brand Intelligence. Where marketers are generally using information tactically—and reactively—Brand Intelligence is designed to deliver systematic aggregation, analysis, and activation of myriad data on brands to build a strategic roadmap and identify tactical actions to pave the way.
Brand Strength: Herding the numbers
Making numbers mean more is a little like herding stray animals. It all starts with Brand Strength, our brand valuation methodology. Rooted in
the knowledge from decades of experience that great brands start from within, Brand Strength measures four critical internal factors: Clarity, Commitment, Protection, and Responsiveness.
The emphasis on the internal well-being of a brand immediately differentiates the way we understand and interpret data, and causes us to ask different questions of different stakeholders—the answers to which will help us understand how to best activate a brand externally.
Next, the Brand Strength model tracks six key external factors: Authenticity, Relevance, Differentiation, Consistency, Presence, and Understanding. In tandem with the internal factors, these metrics begin to yield a more complete picture of a brand in action, revealing areas for improvement as well as strengths; the data starts to signify something larger, and the types of questions we need to ask and numbers we need to examine become clearer as a result.
We integrate existing brand data and
add in primary research. Every new piece of information informs what types of questions we ask next and what sort of research will be relevant. Because we are solving business challenges and thinking strategically, the numbers begin to tell us a story—of challenges and opportunities to drive choice, build loyalty, command a premium, and ultimately grow the kind of halo that forms around the world's greatest brands.
Brand Navigator: Mapping success
In order to figure out the best way to move forward, CMOs need a broader, clearer picture of where their brand sits now. That's why we start by assessing the lay of the land: We leverage existing data—from brand tracking to employee engagement and customer satisfaction information— and measure findings against our Brand Strength factors to get a full picture of a brand's internal and external strengths and weaknesses.
Once a brand's current positioning is mapped, it becomes possible to identify both near-term and long-term priorities and develop a data-driven action plan that puts that brand on a path to long-term success.
Where we're heading: CMO rising, brand rising
As we get further down the road of Big Data, tactical and incremental marketing is being revealed as the dead-end detour it is. To stay on a path to Brand Strength, it's not just about the numbers; it's about the meaning we derive from those numbers, and how they'll help us solve the business challenges that small-bore tactics will never successfully address.
Big Data has put a new onus on CMOs and their teams to lead—to build actionable insights on the shifting sand of metrics. CMOs are staying in their roles twice as long as they were a decade ago—almost four years on average now vs. 23 months as measured in 2004. Their increased primacy represents an acknowledgment of some- thing we've long held true: that systematic, strategic attention to brand is in fact the single most determinative factor in the success of an organization over time.
CMOs, therefore, are uniquely positioned to provide the overarching leadership needed to make meaning out of the numbers, and to marshal organizational resources across business units, teams, and silos. By finding wisdom in the data, creating a culture of success internally, and then turning that power on the market, it is the CMOs and their brand teams who can advance the methods of Brand Intelligence and navigate their organizations to the top.

Magnetic clamps give your nipples the perfect squeeze!
Made from 100% stainless steel
Includes special storage compartment
Keep your nipples hard and perky with this pair of stunning steel nipple clamps!
• Magnetic clamps pinch your nipples to keep them hard
• Strong magnetic seals keep the clamps in place
• Weighted clamps "yank" your nipples as you move
• Warm them up or cool them down for extra stimulation
• Crystal accents & hand-polished mirror finish for a nipple ring like style
• Each clamp measures 1 inch across and 2 inches long
• Made from hard and durable stainless steel and completely nickel-free
• Nipple clamps come in a rugged storage case
The ultimate accessory for anyone who loves having their nipples played with during sex!
Just pull the magnetic bars open and slide the metal ring around your hard nipple. Let the bars go, and the powerful magnets within will pull them together – firmly pinching your nipple between them. The magnetic seal helps keep the nipple clamps in place even during sex to keep your nipples hard. And the unusually heavy clamps "pull" on your nipples with every move – like your lover's pinching and yanking on them at the same time!
Like glass sex toys, you can use temperature play with your metal nipple clamps for extra stimulation. Hold them under warm water to heat up your thrills. Or cool them down in the fridge to make your nipples even harder!
The stylish nipple clamps are a work of beauty. Both clamps are hand-polished to a mirror-like sheen to reflect light. And they even feature sparkling crystals on each end, giving them a nipple ring like style!
Each nipple clamp measures 1 inch wide and 2 inches long. Made from stainless steel, the metal clamps are hard and durable. They are completely hypoallergenic and easy to clean. The eco-friendly nipple clamps are also completely nickel-free for your health.
Adam and Eve recommends the Metal Worx Magnetic Nipple Clamps for men and women to use for nipple stimulation.
After using the steel nipple clamps, wash them in warm, soapy water and dry them off with a towel. Be sure to use a non-abrasive cleaner to avoid scratching the finish. Then return the magnetic nipple clamps to the storage case and hide it with the rest of your sex toys.

- Rural Appalachia in the Fourth District States
- Although not directly affected by the boom and bust of the housing market, Appalachia, and more specifically rural Appalachia, might be fighting the current recession's aftershocks for quite some time. This report examines the data to learn how Appalachians in these counties are currently faring. Have they lost what little ground they gained from the late 1970s to the early part of this decade?

- Subprime Loan Report for Pittsburgh
- This report compares data on the performance of subprime home mortgage loans in the Pittsburgh Core Based Statistical Area, Pennsylvania, and the Fourth Federal Reserve District through 2008. Overall, the performance of subprime loans in Pittsburgh has been mixed in comparison with other parts of the Fourth District. Read more
- 03.27.2009
- CRA Lending in the 4th District
- Our examination of CRA lending in the Fourth District found that, similar to findings at the national level, CRA-regulated institutions provided a relatively small share of all loans within the district and an even smaller percentage of the riskier high-cost loans. But we also found some intriguing differences. When we narrowed our focus to particular counties in our district, we saw that the extent of high-cost lending by independent mortgage companies was much greater in the two Ohio counties we examined than in Pennsylvania's Allegheny County.

Aircraft Certification Processes May Change
Although the precise reason for the Boeing 787's battery overheating problems has not been identified, "there is growing scrutiny of the FAA's practice of letting manufacturers self-certify the safety of critical aircraft systems," according to a March 4 story in Roll Call. The FAA began a push for more self-certification in 2005 to allow agency personnel to make better use of limited available resources.

Comments about Ghostbusters Women Plus Size Costume:
The zipper bowed outward, arm cuffs were tight, and the bust area was slightly uncomfortable.
Definitely something for a costume party as it is not practicle for actual paranormal investigations
Comments about Ghostbusters Women Plus Size Costume:
The dress wore like a bag. Its warm but the arms are tight. Collar doesn't stay put and the bust is very big. Very loose in the waist, not flattering.

Common WordPress Installation Issues
Missing style sheet error when installing the theme
A common issue that can occur with users new to installing WordPress themes is a "Broken theme and/or stylesheets missing" error message being displayed when trying to upload or activate the theme. This error message does not mean that the theme you have purchased is broken, it simply means it has been uploaded incorrectly. Luckily, there is a very easy fix.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm getting a missing style sheet error when I try to install the theme, what is wrong??
Whenever you see that missing style sheet message it means you're attempting to install the wrong file and WordPress doesn't recognize it as a theme file.
You were supposed to unzip the initial zip file you downloaded after purchase onto your hard drive and then inside you would find Documentation and another zip file called 'u-design.zip' which is the actual theme. Please refer to the Documentation for installation instructions.
wp-content/themes/u-design/Here's also a video on how to install ThemeForest themes:
Stylesheet Missing When Installing WordPress Theme
Where do I get extensive support for "U-Design" theme??
Please post any support related questions to the theme's support forum.
In my effort to provide you with better support I've setup an independent Forum where all comments are searchable, you can upload images and insert code with code-highlighting, etc.
You can subscribe to the Support Forum HERE.
If you have any issues creating your forum account, send me an email through my Profile page, and I'll set you up.

Assistance - Strategies - Know-How (A.S.K.)
Senate Bill 1 (2009) requires schools to increase students' college and career readiness across the Commonwealth of Kentucky. In response to this bill, Assistance, Strategies, and Know-How (A.S.K.) was created to assist schools in meeting such challenges.
Funded by Kentucky's Council on Post-Secondary Education (CPE), A.S.K. is housed in the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning: Models in Innovation at Western Kentucky University. The program helps schools identify areas of concern and implement strategies to improve those areas.
Built on effective schools research, A.S.K. assists schools to identify ways to improve students' college and career readiness, and provides a center where schools can obtain contracted services to meet their individual needs. A.S.K. is in the process of developing a broad range of services for schools. Programs currently available are listed under our Menu of Services.

I have to admit I'm fascinated by this.
I'm also fascinated that there are people who are saying they don't want to see this happen. Why not?
The worst case scenario is that it won't work and you won't like it or you won't want to watch it and you won't watch it.
But what if it works? Wouldn't that be crazy? Even if it doesn't work, it will be interesting to see a show try to switch from a single camera comedy to a totally different kind of show.
I have to admit that I'm sort of eager for someone to bring back the multi-cam sitcom in a big way. I believe that one of Dan Harmon's shows-in-development is something like that, and it would be amazing if he knocked it out of the park and showed people that this can be done well once again.
As innovative as Louie is, I feel like a lot of people really missed the boat by not getting onboard when Louis CK made Lucky Louie for HBO. It wasn't perfect, but when it worked (see episode 7, "Discipline") I thought it pointed the way towards a direction that multi-cam sitcoms could go that would be exciting and new. (Although he was really just taking things back to when shows like All In The Family used the multi-cam format so daringly.)
I'm not suggesting that this is what's going to happen with Up All Night. But at some point somebody's gonna figure out who to make the next Cheers and it's gonna be awesome.
[Personally, I think sitcoms took a wrong turn when they stopped actually announcing that they were "filmed in front of a live studio audience" at the top of each episode. People commonly refer to a lot of multi-cam sitcoms as having "laugh tracks" in instances where what you're hearing is an actual audience of humans laughing at the live performance.]

The Service and Faith Project
The Service and Faith Project examines how participation in community service impacts the faith of congregation members. In an era where much research and political discussion has focused on congregations as a community resource, this research focuses on the patterns of organized community service that are conducive to deepening the faith of congregational volunteers and what patterns deplete their resources for caring. The project was carried out by Diana Garland, Dennis Myers, and Michael Sherr at the Baylor School of Social Work, and additional research partners from Calvin College, University of South Carolina, and Whittier College.
The documents on this Web site provide additional details about the project as well as resources to help community and congregational leaders minister more effectively with families.

MONDAY, Aug. 16 (HealthDay News) -- Eating a small amount of
high-quality dark chocolate one to three times a month may help
stave off heart failure in women, a new Harvard study suggests.
But if you ingest too much "good" chocolate, that protective
effect goes away, according to the researchers who report their
finding in the Aug. 17 issue of
Circulation: Heart Failure.
"At least for women, consumption of chocolate seems to be associated with a decreased risk of heart failure, but the protective effect was only seen with relatively small amounts of consumption, less than one serving a day," said senior study author Dr. Murray Mittleman. "With higher levels, the benefit appears to be lost and perhaps even [have] a detrimental effect."
While the redeeming health qualities of chocolate have been
extolled before, other studies had not specifically looked at heart
failure, Mittleman said.
"Up until now, [researchers] were focused on other outcomes, such as the effects on blood pressure and other things," he explained.
And those studies did find that moderate amounts of chocolate do
seem to lower blood pressure.
"The beneficial effects on blood pressure are likely an important part of the mechanisms of what we're observing," said Mittleman, who is director of the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Research Unit at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
The study authors studied the chocolate-eating habits of 31,823
Swedish women, aged 48 to 83, reported over a period of nine
Women who ate one to three servings of chocolate (20 to 30
grams) a month had a 32 percent reduced risk of heart failure,
compared to women who did not eat the sweet regularly. More
chocolate than that (one to two servings a week), and the benefit
disappeared, while much more than that (three to six servings a
week), and the risk actually increased by 23 percent.
"Chocolate is still very calorie-dense, and there's fat and sugar that comes along with it, so moderation is a very important part of the story," Mittleman said.
Chocolate in Sweden is held to different quality standards than
in the United States, but there are still characteristics one
should look for when choosing chocolate, Mittleman said.
The chocolate measured in this study was mostly high-quality
dark chocolate without a lot of added sugar, though it was
commercially available, he said.
And the higher the cocoa content, the better. The cocoa content
of the chocolate consumed by the women in this study was about 30
percent whereas, in the United States, dark chocolate is only
required to contain 15 percent cocoa solids.
And 20 to 30 grams would be about half-to-two-thirds of an
average American candy bar, Mittleman said.
The heart benefit of dark chocolate could be the result of any
number of factors, including more flavanoids, or antioxidants, that
can smooth heart function.
Mittleman said there's no reason that the benefits of chocolate
wouldn't extend to men as well, but this still needs to be
Linda Van Horn, immediate past chair of the American Heart
Association's Nutrition Committee and professor in the Department
of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University's Feinberg School
of Medicine in Chicago, said people shouldn't misinterpret the
study findings as a carte blanche to satisfy their sweet tooth.
"This is not an 'eat all you want' take-home message, rather it's that eating a little dark chocolate can be healthful, as long as other adverse behaviors do not occur, such as weight gain or excessive intake of non-nutrient dense 'empty' calories," she said in a news release issued by the American Heart Association.
Interestingly, an Australian study released last week found that
patients would actually prefer taking a pill than chocolate when it
comes to controlling blood pressure.

Ethics Newsline Blog #2
This week I decided to do a blog about the article "Ethics of Drone Surveillance Questioned in Senate Hearing" which can be found at the link:
In summary this article talks about some of the ethical situations pertaining with unpiloted drone aircraft used in both military and homeland affairs. The United States Senate learned that the are too few moral and legal guidelines reguarding these advanced tools.
The author stated that surveillance has been reasonably well-covered from the law, however there are some gaps left by not anticipating drone aircraft. He quotes a New York Times article that suggests that drone technology could fall into the hands of drug dealers, pedophiles, and nosy neighbors since the technology is becoming cheaper. This statement does hold true, but in my opinion the technology is already widely available in the fact that someone could easily walk into a retail store buy a radio controlled helicopter (which some already have cameras already installed) and creep their choice of people. To be honest, a radio controlled helicopter is more conspicuous than any drone I've seen.
Let's also not forget about the positives from drones. One of the author's quotes from U.S. News states that drones are a cheap and effective public safety tool. Drones have been invaluably effective at finding missing persons and monitoring for large physical threats. They also make surveying much easier.
Is it true that the technology could be used for negative reasoning? Yes, I would say so. However, if used correctly and ethically, drones can become invaluable tools for the greater good.

Never quite known for its luxurious interior anyways, the JUN EVO received a few race-worthy upgrades in the cockpit. The stock EVO Recaro seats were changed out for a pair of Bride buckets with Sabelt harnesses, while the removable Momo steering wheel provides extra grip for more comfortable control. JUN's hallmark attention to detail sets this car above others with its immaculate construction. A Cusco rollcage increases chassis stiffness while beautifully constructed carbon-fiber door panels reduce weight. The neatly installed Defi dash cluster and center console-mounted lap timer equipment provide necessary engine vitals.
Tucked underneath the Ganador front bumper, Truth side skirts, and Ganador rear wing, the 18x9 Advan RGII wheels look the part as they are both mean and functional. Covered in sticky 245/40R18 Yokohama Advan A048 tires, the wheels use a +22 front and +29 rear offset to create a slightly narrower track in the rear compared to the front, for turn-in response, and to help with rotation of the rear end.
The exceptional factory stock Brembo brakes were dumped in favor of an even larger 13.5-inch front Endless six-piston caliper brake kit, balanced out with a 13-inch four-piston rear brake setup. Teamed up with Zeal Super Function-R coil-overs and Cusco tie bars, the JUN EVO has all the details necessary to succeed.
With more than enough manners and comfort to survive the daily commute to work and to the racetrack, JUN Auto's EVO IX could very well be the perfect blend of street and track nirvana.

January 08, 2013, 12:15 PM — Recent back-end upgrades by Microsoft to Office 365's SharePoint Online are causing problems for some users and developers whose workflows and applications have been disrupted by a variety of bugs.
At SP Marketplace, a Sacramento, California, developer of business applications that run on SharePoint, staffers are now constantly monitoring their software in case Microsoft back-end changes break functionality in their products.
Meanwhile, ObjectSharp, a Toronto provider of Microsoft software development, consulting and training, had to scramble late last month to troubleshoot a problem for one of its customers that was also linked to SharePoint Online upgrades.
Other users and developers are voicing similar complaints and concerns in discussion forums, blogs, Twitter and other social media channels.
The problems highlight the perils of using or building applications for hosted software: vendors can change the code and inadvertently affect the functionality for some users and developers.
Microsoft acknowledged that it has been making changes recently to the SharePoint Online back end in Office 365, and it listed the bugs triggered by the updates in a knowledge base support note. It is pruning the list as issues get solved.
According to Microsoft, it recently did a service update for the SharePoint Online version based on the 2010 edition of the product. It has also started to gradually upgrade SharePoint Online customers from the 2010 edition over to the new 2013 edition, which hasn't been officially released but is due to ship "early" this year.
The note with the list of bugs addresses issues caused by both the service update and by the move from the 2010 to the 2013 edition of SharePoint, Microsoft said in a statement.
It also said that it is motoring through the issues, fixing almost half of them "within the first few days." And it maintained that the problems are neither widespread nor systemic.
"We, too, have updated numerous processes in our service update methodology to avoid events in the future," the emailed statement reads.
The problems included design changes between the 2010 and 2013 editions, while others were "isolated customers' configuration issues."
However, Microsoft also acknowledged it has spent "a large amount of resources to improve the service update" and it paused its roll out "until all possible fixes were in place."

It's that time of year again ~ to begin a new recordkeeping system for the school year! I prefer keeping records on paper, but I also am looking into keeping records offsite (online) as well. This isn't mandatory or maybe even necessary, but the thought has crossed my mind over the past few years how frustrating and disappointing it would be if anything were to ever happen to the paper records we keep each year.
I've thought about just scanning in all of our paper records as .pdf files onto the computer and backing them up on CDs. I may do this still, but this would take quite a long time! I know I would be happy I did it, though, if I ever needed them in the future.
Apart from paper records and scanning paper records, I've learned of a few online recordkeeping services. Some are free, and some are for fee. All the ones I've looked into are completely different. Some are more user-friendly than others. The type of system we are looking for is something that will easily categorize and track hours.
Two free services I've looked deeper into so far are:Homeschool Skedtrack
They both offer free web-based planners and walk you through different steps of entering in the information for your school. Homeschool Skedtrack has some very helpful video tutorials to watch before you begin using the system, and I like the reports of hours you can print out.
Have any of you tried any online tracking system for your homeschool records? Do you recommend either of the two above or a different one you've tried? Please share!

The Last Express Re-released for DownloadJordan Mechner and Smoking Car Productions' remarkable 1997 adventure game The Last Express has been released by digital distributor DotEmu for a mere $9.99, Shacknews alumnus Chris Remo spotted. It comes ready to run on modern PCs.
Set aboard the Orient Express in 1914, TLE was famous for its rotoscoping, ability to reverse time and for running in 'real-time,' with many different events happening concurrently. Oh, and for being a commercial flop in spite of a warm critical reception.
The Last Express hasn't been readily available without hitting up eBay since it was pulled from the library of subscription service GameTap. Until now. Huzzah!

Coming soon: The $100 million car?
Sales of collectible automobiles hit an all-time record this year, leading some to speculate that soaring prices could lead to a huge deal.
Wealthy car collectors spent like never before in 2013.
Auction sales of collectible cars in the U.S. are set to top $1.2 billion this year, an all-time record that's up 25 percent from 2012, according to Hagerty Insurance, the largest insurer of collectible cars. The 2013 total is nearly double the pre-financial crisis level for car auction sales.
While the number of cars sold ticked up 10 percent, to more than 19,500, the average price per car sold jumped 13 percent to $61,000 from $54,000.
The average price, however, masks the huge spike at the top end of the collector car market, where vintage Ferraris, Mercedes and Porsches are regularly fetching eight figures. Four of the top five most expensive collector cars ever sold at auction were sold in 2013.
Hagerty's Ferrari index, which features more than a dozen of the most sought-after Ferraris, soared 18 percent, making Ferraris by far the most expensive category. But German cars are quickly catching up, with Hagerty's German car index -- which includes Porsche, Mercedes and BMW -- soaring 33 percent in 2013.
McKeel Hagerty, president and chief executive of Hagerty, said that despite the huge price run-ups, he sees few signs of a bubble in collector cars.
"Supply and demand are still driving prices," he said. "You have more millionaires being created, and a small number of these top-quality cars. It's also generational. The people who made large wealth are at a point in their lives when they want to collect these cars."
He said unlike other bubble periods -- like the early 1990s, which was fueled by Japanese buyers -- this market is far more diversified and global.
Still, Hagerty said, this year was such a big year for cars that "I wouldn't be surprised" if prices cooled a little next year.
The big news in 2013 was the race between a 1967 Ferrari and a 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196R to become the most expensive car ever sold at auction. The Ferrari was expected to win the prize at an RM Auctions sale in Monterey, Calif., this summer. But just weeks before the sale, the Mercedes race car sold at a Bonhams auction for an unexpectedly high $29.7 million. The Ferrari ended up selling just short of that number, for $27.5 million.
While collectible car experts say there are plenty of cars that have sold in private, nonauction sales for more than $30 million, those sales are difficult to verify.
Car sale for $100 million?
Hagerty said there will likely be a sale of a car for $100 million or more in the next three to five years. While there are several cars currently for sale at $100 million or more, none have traded for that amount yet.
"In the next three to five years, we will see a $100 million car," Hagerty said. He added the $100 million sale would likely be a Ferrari GTO -- "the holy grail of cars," since only 39 were built.
Here are the top five most expensive cars sold in 2013, and the most expensive cars ever sold at auction.
2013 top five classic car auction sales

Church of England to block gay marriage
The Archbishop of Canterbury has outlined the Church of England's opposition to equal marriage rights. Dr Rowan Williams told a private meeting of influential MPs that the Church does not support moves towards equal marriage, and will refuse to host same-sex civil partnerships.
The Archbishop's comments come as the government plans to consult upon the future of marriage and civil partnership laws. Changes are likely to include the legalisation of civil partnerships with religious readings and within religious buildings.
Conservative MP Simon Kirby asked Dr Williams what he would say to a gay couple wishing to celebrate their union in a church. The Archbishop explained that whilst the Church of England will support gay clergy and permit them to enter into civil partnerships, it does not plan to weaken its opposition to equal marriage.
"Public opinion is moving faster than the Church on this issue and it is increasingly in danger of getting left behind," Mr Kirby told the Sunday Telegraph. "Obviously it is a difficult issue for the Church, but it has many gay men and women who want to be treated the same way as everyone else."
A spokesperson for the Archbishop said that marriage should be between a man and a woman. "Civil partnerships now provide legal securities for same-sex couples, but this does not, in itself, alter what we believe to be unique about marriage," he added. "The Church of England is opposed to all forms of homophobia and would want to defend the civil liberties of homosexual people, and to welcome them into our churches."
The traditionalist position is not supported by all. Giles Fraser, the canon chancellor at St Paul's Cathedral, argued last week that the Church should do more to support same-sex couples. "Gay relationships are perfectly capable of reflecting the love of God. Which is why the Church should respond more imaginatively to the idea of same-sex blessings being celebrated in church."
