[Series] TMI #4 Maggie Johnson of Los Angeles Public Library
23/02/2011 § 2 Comments
In this edition of TMI (two-minute interview), Senior Los Angeles Public Librarian Maggie Johnson speaks about the budget crisis in public libraries, and how being unable to hire recent graduates will affect the future of the public library.
Listening to Ms. Johnson describe the state of librarianship in the public library, is this the case for all information specializations? Will the current hiring market cause us to "lose a generation" of information professionals? How does this affect recruitment? How does this affect you?

|Sticky Tag:
* code/generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): Support new keyword, :no-fix-empty-file-list. Specifies that if no files are passed, and the --metaonly option is not present, the CVS command is to be executed without any file arguments. (mcvs-commit-wrapper): Specify :no-fix-empty-file-list t when calling mcvs-generic. Thus commit now has the behavior that when it is passed no file arguments, it does a true global commit.
Merging from partial-sandbox-branch.
* generic.lisp (mcvs-tag-wrapper): This one needs to include meta files by default.
* options.lisp (*nometa-option*): Eliminated rid useless docstring. (*meta-option*): New variable. (*nometa-option*): New variable. (filter-global-options): Clean rewrite using find-bind. * generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): New keyword parameters default-include-meta-files, need-update-after. Implements new logic related to the new options. Performs (mapping-update) if need-update-after is true and metafiles were subject to cvs update. (mcvs-commit-wrapper): Calls mcvs-generic with :default-include-meta-files t. * update.lisp (mcvs-update): No longer overrides the *nometa-option* special variable. Passes :need-update-after t to mcvs-generic. * mcvs-main.lisp (*cvs-options*): New options entered into list.
* generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): Change how empty file argument list is handled. Rather than rewriting it to '(".") we do a proper map-prefix-lookup. Synchronizing and invoking CVS is elided if the resulting list of files to process is empty and the --nometa option is specified.
Update takes file arguments now. * update.lisp (mcvs-update): If filename arguments are given, then just call mcvs-generic to do the work, but suppress the operation on meta files. If no filename arguments are given, then update everything. If the -p option is present, no synchronization is needed, before or after. (mcvs-update-wrapper): Pass command arguments down to mcvs-update. * mcvs-main.lisp (*update-options*): Add "p" option. * generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): New keyword parameter need-sync-after, a generalized boolean which can tell the function to do a mapping-synchronize after executing the CVS command.
* generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): Add .cvsignore to the list of metafiles.
* update.lisp (mcvs-update): Changing level of chatter messages. * move.lisp (mcvs-move): Likewise. * add.lisp (mcvs-add): Likewise. * remove.lisp (mcvs-remove): Likewise. * checkout.lisp (mcvs-checkout): Likewise. * generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): Likewise. * import.lisp (mcvs-import): Likewise. * mapping.lisp (mapping-dupe-check): Likewise. (mapping-update): Likewise.
Commit is handled through mcvs-generic, so it can take filename arguments, and honor --nometa. * commit.lisp: File removed. (mcvs-commit): Function removed. (mcvs-commit-wrapper): Moved to generic.lisp. * generic.lisp (mcvs-commit-wrapper): Moved from commit.lisp, changed to invoke mcvs-generic. (mcvs-generic): Only add TYPES file to list if it actually exists.
New --nometa command line option. * mcvs-main.lisp (*cvs-options*): Add "nometa" to list. (mcvs-execute): Filter global options to recognize Meta-CVS-specific ones. * options.lisp (*nometa-option*): New special variable. (filter-global-options): New function. * generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): Honor *nometa-option* special variable.
* generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): Make sure TYPES file is included in list of files.
Oops, broken tag command.
Added status, log and annotate. * mcvs-main.lisp: (*log-options*, *status-options*, *annotate-options*): New constants. (*mcvs-command-table*): Add new entries. * generic-lisp (mcvs-log-wrapper, mcvs-status-wrapper, mcvs-annotate-wrapper): New functions.
Added tag command. * diff.lisp: File renamed to generic.lisp. (mcvs-diff): Function renamed to mcvs-generic. * generic.lisp (mcvs-generic): Function no longer dedicated to diffing only; takes CVS command to execute as an argument, also takes arguments and files as separate lists. (mcvs-diff-wrapper): Modified to invoke mcvs-generic properly. (mcvs-tag-wrapper): New function, uses mcvs-generic to implement tag command. * mcvs-main.lisp (*tag-options*): New constant. (*mcvs-command-table*): New entry for tag command.
Added workaround for operating system argument passing limitations, resembling the Unix xargs utility. Also, trimmed some fat from the basename function. * clisp-linux.lisp: (*argument-limit*): New constant added. (arglist-to-command-string): Function removed. (execute-program): Function removed. (shell-interpreter): New function, wrapper for CLISP's shell function, turns exit status into T (success) or NIL (failure). * diff.lisp (mcvs-diff): Uses execute-program-xargs instead of execute-program. * posix.lisp (basename): Does not canonicalize path name. This turns out to be an unnecessary performance hit in some cases. (arglist-to-command-string): New function. Similar to what was removed from clisp-linux, but this one properly escapes all shell metacharacters. (execute-program): New function, calls shell-interpreter. (execute-program-xargs): New function. Takes two argument lists. Forms one or more command lines by combining the first argument list with one or more pieces of the second argument list, and executes each command. The length of the pieces is determined by the argument passing limit. * dirwalk.lisp (ensure-directories-gone): Add use of canonicalize-path because basename doesn't do it.
Renamed all ``filemap-'' functions to ``mapping-'' prefix. * mapping.lisp (filemap-generate-name, filemap-sort, filemap-extract-paths, filemap-lookup, filemap-prefix-lookup, filemap-prefix-matches, filemap-object-lookup, filemap-same-object-p, filemap-same-path-p, filemap-moved-p, filemap-rename-files, filemap-sane-p): Old names removed. (mapping-generate-name, mapping-sort, mapping-extract-paths, mapping-lookup, mapping-prefix-lookup, mapping-prefix-matches, mapping-object-lookup, mapping-same-object-p, mapping-same-path-p, mapping-moved-p, mapping-rename-files, mapping-sane-p): New names created. (mapping-read, mapping-write, mapping-synchronize, mapping-update): Edit calls to renamed functions. * add.lisp (mcvs-add): Likewise. * diff.lisp (mcvs-diff): Likewise. * filt.lisp (mcvs-filt): Likewise. * import.lisp (mcvs-import): Likewise. * move.lisp (simple-rename, simple-move-to-dir, move-guts): Likewise. * remove.lisp (mcvs-remove): Likewise.
Factored out repeated code for reading and writing of the MAP and MAP-LOCAL files. * mapping.lisp (mapping-read, mapping-write): New functions. (mapping-synchronize, mapping-update): Use new functions. * move.lisp (mcvs-move): Likewise. * filt.lisp (mcvs-filt): Likewise. * add.lisp (mcvs-add): Likewise. * remove.lisp (mcvs-remove): Likewise. * checkout.lisp (mcvs-checkout): Likewise. * diff.lisp (mcvs-diff): Likewise. * import.lisp (mcvs-import): Likewise.

No. 52: Ohio
By Paul Myerberg // Jul 13, 2011
You don't go to Ohio University not to drink on Saturday nights. And Friday, Sunday, Thursday, what have you; Ohio has an upstate New York feel — the cold, the snow, the beer, the cold — despite being about 600 miles southwest from Utica, which is interesting. In short: Ohio is a good place to spend a weekend or two. Is it — or has it been — a good place to watch college football? Well, it depends on the opponent, and it depends on the year. But the party never stopped, believe me. Now? With Frank Solich running the show, with a schedule so easy it should come with a child lock? The Ohio student body never needs a reason to pop a tab now and then, so imagine the scene when the Bobcats enter November with a shot at double-digit wins.

Last year's prediction
There is no question that, yet again, Ohio can exceed my expectations and take the MAC East crown. Of course, while Kent State is improved, the division will come down to the Bobcats and Temple; obviously, I have the Owls ranked ahead of the Bobcats. In fact, I think there's a little more distance between the two programs in 2010: while I expect little drop-off from the Bobcats, I think Temple has double-digit win potential. In fact, my taking Ohio second in the division has far more to do with my faith in Temple than any belief that the Bobcats are due to take a step back in 2010. Well, I do think the Bobcats will suffer a slight decline in the win column — I think repeating last year's nine-win mark will be difficult. Yet this is clearly still a bowl team, a very solid bowl team, and right alongside Northern Illinois as the second-best team in the MAC.
2010 recap
In a nutshell A slow start and a disappointing finish; in between, we saw the Ohio team most expected in August. The Bobcats offset a 1-3 start — one that included losses to Toledo and Marshall, the latter by a single point — with seven straight wins, pushing it to 8-3 in advance of the season finale at Kent State. That loss was as bad as any we saw all of last season; it's also a loss that Ohio won't soon forget. That's a good thing, as the Bobcats should never forget how they allowed another MAC East title slip out of their grasp — the score of that game should be stenciled on the wall in the team's locker room, not to be forgotten until the Bobcats return to the top of the East division. What also shouldn't be forgotten: how Ohio played from October through most of November. During that seven-game span, the Bobcats were as good as any team in the MAC.
High point Wins over Miami (Ohio) and Temple. In essence, while the RedHawks left as the East winner, Ohio was the best team in the division in 2009. Head-to-head tiebreakers don't always decide conference standings, though they often do.
Low point The 26-3 loss to Kent State, as already discussed. Thanks to wins over both Temple and Miami (Ohio), the Bobcats needed merely to sneak past the Golden Flashes in order to clinch the East — instead, the Bobcats lost in shocking fashion and Miami upset Temple, sending Ohio from a trip to Detroit for the MAC title game to the New Orleans Bowl.
Tidbit You may have noticed Ohio's schedule on the top right of this page following the jump, or you may have heard about it elsewhere. If you are not familiar with Ohio's regular season slate, please familiarize yourself with the 12 games and return to this paragraph. Back? What do you think? I'll say one thing: I don't have the time or the energy to go back and look at each team's schedule over the last few seasons. I can say, however, that this looks — on paper — like the easiest F.B.S. schedule I've seen over the last five years. So how easy is it, on paper? The 12 teams combined to go 50-95 overall in 2010, 35-61 in conference play. The six teams Ohio plays on the road went a combined 14-48 in 2010. The overall record of all 12 teams is skewed by Temple and Miami (Ohio), which went a combined 18-8 a year ago; take them out, and the 10 remaining teams went 32-87. It's a really, really easy schedule.
Tidbit (age edition) You know what Frank Solich likes most about coaching in the MAC? While he gets older, his coaching competition stays the same age, man. Solich graduated from Nebraska in 1966; five of his MAC coaching cohorts — Pete Lembo (born in 1970), Dave Clawson (1967), Dan Enos (1970), Ron English (1968) and Dave Doeren (1971) — weren't born when Solich earned his degree. Only one, Bill Cubit (1953), was out of elementary school when Solich flipped his tassel. And that's life on the MAC coaching ranks, where you either succeed and head up the ladder or fail and move down. The game of musical chairs continues every winter.

Frank Solich (Nebraska '66), 40-36 over six seasons at Ohio. After going 4-8 in 2008, the second time the Bobcats had won four games in a season under Solich, Ohio has won a combined 17 games over the last two seasons. The initial four-win season came in 2005, Solich's first year in Athens. He quickly turned things around, however, bringing the Bobcats to nine wins in 2006 and a 6-6 mark in 2007; the 15 victories over a two-year span was the program's most since 1968-69. In fact, the 9-5 mark in 2006 featured a MAC East championship, the program's first conference title of any kind since 1968. Of course, it's hard to discuss Frank Solich without touching on his long, meaningful association with the University of Nebraska, where he started as the freshman team coach in 1979, began coaching the running backs in 1983 and was promoted to be Tom Osborne's replacement as head coach in 1998. Over his time as an assistant, Solich coached — either as a position coach or as offensive coordinator — two Heisman Trophy winners (Mike Rozier and Eric Crouch), countless all-conference and all-American performers and served under Osborne for three national championships (1994-5, 1997). As head coach, Solich compiled a 58-19 record from 1998-2003, which included three double-digit win seasons, a Big XII championship and an appearance in the 2001 national championship game, where the Huskers lost to Miami (Fla.) by a fairly significant margin. Solich won more games in his first six seasons in Lincoln than did his predecessors, Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne, each of whom are members of the College Football Hall of Fame. Fired unceremoniously with one game remaining in the 2003 season, Solich was out of coaching entirely in 2004 before being hired at Ohio in 2005. None of his MAC coaching brethren can match his experience or his success. Though Solich has been unable to duplicate his success at Nebraska with the Bobcats — no one thought he would — he has made Ohio into a far more competitive program, as well as a threat to win the conference championship in every season. When he does decide to leave, the program will be in a far better place.
Players to watch
The offensive line is fantastic. Check these off your list of must-haves up front: experience, talent, depth — everything you'd want, everything you'd need from your starting five. Each of last year's starters are back in the fold, a group paced by the outstanding tackle combination of A.J. Strum and Joe Flading. Each earned all-MAC honors a year ago, Flading first-team accolades, so there's not a better tackle pair in the MAC. Add former Florida State transfer Jon Prior into the rotation and you have a set of tackles to make even a B.C.S. conference team envious.
Junior Skyler Allen is back at center, with Eric Herman and Jon Lechner at right and left guard, respectively. Herman, a junior, is a mauler on the strong side of the line. Lechner took over on the left side midway through last season, replacing Vince Carlotta, who is also back, and never looked back. Carlotta won't start, but he's an important reserve. From left to right, this line is terrific.
The new starting quarterback will love these big boys. Who is that new starter, you might ask? I can give you two options: one is sophomore Tyler Tettleton, who played a tad in 2009 but took a redshirt last fall; the second is redshirt freshman Kyle Snyder, a mid-tier recruit in Ohio's 2010 class. No, I don't think senior Phil Bates is going to play quarterback: he may in certain packages, but Bates would be better fit at receiver or running back. Don't be surprised if Solich plays all three, though Tettleton and Snyder will be the primary pair. They might compliment each other well, as Snyder is purported to be the finer passer and Tettleton the better runner. Ohio has not been afraid to go with two quarterbacks in the past.
If Snyder ends up being Ohio's requisite passing quarterback, he'd be wise to develop a healthy relationship with senior LaVon Brazill, who was headed for a big 2010 campaign prior to having his year cut short after three games due to injury. Even having played in only three games, Brazill's 12 receptions was good for fifth on the team; with a full season, Brazill should rank among the MAC's most productive pass-catchers. Senior Riley Dunlop (27 catches for 387 yards) did a nice job stepping into the void last fall, and will really benefit from the attention Brazill will receive from opposing defensive backs. There are several younger targets dotting the depth chart, like sophomores Donte Foster and Mario Dovell. Don't sleep on junior tight end Jordan Thompson (21 for 204 and 3 scores), a clear all-conference candidate. Solich loves to get the ball to his tight ends, especially in the red zone.
Bates (519 yards, 3 scores) will be a big presence in the running game, whether in shotgun as a quarterback or as a more traditional back. I don't know whether Bates can be an every-down, wear-down-defenses kind of back, however. Even more so than at quarterback, look for the Bobcats to use a by-committee approach, of which Bates will be a key piece. If there's going to be a lead back, it'll be sophomore Ryan Boykin (213 yards, 3 scores). Boykin impressed in limited duty last fall, and he could be the bigger option to senior Donte Harden's more shifty running style. Former Iowa State transfer Beau Blankenship, like Harden, brings the sort of speed needed to crack a long one. There won't be a 1,000-yard back here, but Ohio will continue to do fairly well on the ground. This offensive line will help.
Ohio's defense continued to force turnovers in 2010, albeit at a slightly lower rate than in the year before, when it led the country with 37 takeaways. The ability to take the ball away is more than just a two-year trend, in my mind: it's a result of a defensive mentality, meaning the Bobcats have instilled a turnover-first mindset along each level of the defense. And that's why Ohio, more often than not, bends but doesn't break. And that's why, for all intents and purposes, Ohio continues to win games despite starring a pedestrian offense, to put it bluntly.
The front four is a big-league worry; see below for details. The linebacker corps, on the other hand, is a definite strength. This is primarily thanks to Noah Keller's return from injury: the all-MAC linebacker missed all but the first three games of 2010 with a foot injury. Will he be ready to go in the fall? All signs say yes, which is big news for this defense. When Keller is healthy, he's a tackling, big-play-making machine, and a vital piece on this defense. When on his game, Keller is one of the best defensive players in the MAC, and an underrated linebacker on a national level.
He'll be in the middle, flanked by Eric Benjamin (56 tackles, 3 sacks) on the weak side and Alphonso Lewis (38 tackles) on the strong side. This is a pretty good group, one that will be stronger than it was a year ago because of Keller's return and an added year of experience for Benjamin and Lewis, a pair of first-year starters last fall. There's some depth, not a lot, but the starting threesome is good enough to make this unit one of the stronger on the team. That's mainly to do with Keller.
Only one full-time starter returns in the secondary: junior Travis Carrie (39 tackles, 2 sacks) brings size and physicality to the cornerback position. But he's not the only defensive back with starting experience; not even the only cornerback with starting experience, in fact. Fellow junior Omar Leftwich was in the mix for a starting spot heading into last season but ending playing a key reserve role, starting once while making 31 stops and a pair of interceptions. His brother, Octavius, will also factor heavily into the mix.
Ohio can also feel good about the situation at free safety, where junior Gerald Moore returns after missing all but two games last fall due to injury. Moore, a former all-MAC pick, is actually the most accomplished defensive back on the roster. Ohio will start a new face at strong safety, whether Xavier Hughes or otherwise, so that's really the lone question mark in the secondary heading into the fall. Overall, and as at linebacker, the secondary is a strength. While there are issues up front, Ohio's back seven is as good a group as you'll see in the MAC.
Position battle(s) to watch
Defensive line Last year's defense took its cue from a stout, senior-laden front four, one that made the Bobcats one of the nation's best against the run. The defensive line as a whole was the only position group on the team that started the same players for all 13 games, which should tell you all you need to know about the dichotomy between last year's group and the line heading into 2011. You know, the problem with having four senior starters is that a year later the whole group must be replaced. One linemen who will absolutely hold a major role is senior end Curtis Meyers, who started eight games as a sophomore but has been slowed in each of the last years by a knee injury. He's a clear starter, and an important leader for a group lacking in proven commodities. But the line isn't entirely bare, even if a lack of depth is a concern. Meyers is joined at end by junior Tremayne Scott, sophomore Nic Barber and senior Jeff King. It was thought that King was going to be the starter coming out of the spring, but I'm of the mind to think that Scott or Barber might be a better fit: that pair seems to be better at getting to the quarterback, an asset in tall demand on this defense. Ohio took a big hit at end when former Indiana transfer Kyle Kozak was dismissed from the team last week; he was very impressive during the spring. The interior of the line will feature Neal Huynh (17 tackles) on the nose and junior Carl Jones (40 tackles, 3.5 sacks) as a disruptor, a role he played well in a reserve role in 2010. The two main concerns, in order of, well, concern: one, the lack of proven depth; and two, the lack of size. Ohio can develop the first over the span of a season. The latter is worrisome, as this year's projected starting four — Meyers, Huynh, Jones and whichever second end — is about 100 pounds lighter than last year's group. That's a bit of a worry.
Game(s) to watch
Gardner-Webb. New Mexico State. Buffalo? No, the games to watch are Rutgers and Temple. The first because it could pave the way for a ridiculously good start; the second because the Owls, in my mind, are Ohio's strongest competition for the MAC East.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell Listen: you can't ignore the schedule. It's a slate conducive to a 10-win season, one that holds little challenges beyond the typical B.C.S. conference team in September and the Temple, Miami (Ohio) game in MAC play. Quite simply, it's the easiest schedule in the country, and Ohio shouldn't even break a sweat in the run to eight wins. Anything less than eight wins would be awfully embarrassing, to be honest. But can Ohio get to double digits? If Solich and the Bobcats do get to 10-2 in the regular season, it will be thanks to an offense that could wear down opposition with the MAC's best line and a defense with a very solid back seven. If Ohio doesn't get to at least 8-4, it will be due to an unknown quarterback situation, what seems like a lack of play makers in general offensively and, most of all, a defensive line still looking for answers. So let's split the difference, as Ohio is good in spots and questionable in others, and predict the Bobcats to win at least eight games during the regular season, more likely nine — which is in itself amazing, considering where the program stood prior to Solich's arrival, if not over the decades prior to his arrival, Jim Grobe's tenure excluded. Unfortunately, Ohio's projected win total will be slammed because of the schedule, and rightfully so. But don't sleep on the Bobcats, who are good regardless of who they play, and don't overlook the fact that Solich has done an outstanding job with the program. The Bobcats will take home the MAC East, with a conference title game date with Toledo waiting in the wings.
Dream season Are you sitting down? Ohio beats Marshall and Rutgers, entering MAC play at 4-0, and runs the table in conference play to finish the regular season 12-0. With all due respect, this would be the weakest 12-0 team that most of us have ever seen.
Nightmare season With this schedule, a 6-6 finish would be absolutely horrible.
In case you were wondering
Where do Ohio fans congregate? Bobcat Attack is, and has been for a few years now, the best place to talk Ohio sports. Unfortunately, that's all I have for the Bobcats. As always — especially in this case — list below your favorite blogs, message boards and local beat reporters yearning to be included in this section.

Let's say Hawaii is next.
Yup, Hawai'i looks to be next…I can't believe Washington is going to be this high.
Unless I'm reading it all wrong, isn't Athens SOUTHWEST of Utica, vice southeast?,
Paul: Consulting map and compass… yes, you're right. Fixed it above, thanks.
I think it's refreshing to see a mid-major schedule OOC games like they were in a BCS conference. If Florida can do it, why shouldn't Ohio?
Futheremore, if every mid-major scheduled this way, and filled their schedules up with each other, that would force all the BCS schools to play each other from week 1 and college football would be flat out amazing in September.
One thing I'll give Pete Carroll, that guy very rarely scheduled mid-majors. He had years where he played 12 BCS conference teams for his regular season.
12-0 Ohio would be weaker than 12-0 Ball St.?
Yeah, while UF hasn't played a non-conference game outside the state of Florida in about two decades, they still have FSU every year and the occasional Miami series. And an SEC schedule that this year includes a one-month stretch of LSU, Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia. Even with their games vs. UAB and Furman, they're probably not the right poster child for lackluster scheduling.
This was the best preview I've read on my precious Bobcats yet. Thanks for this!
A couple notes on running back position…I just can't see Phil Bates lining up as a tailback for the first time in his last season. Perhaps a wildcat is the best option. Not to mention that the team is moving to a hurry up, fast paced offense so having this added dimension could keep opponents on their heels. I also expect to see Dallas Brown compete for carries this season. He's quicker and shiftier than Harden and looked good in limited action in 2010.
Washington? I can't believe UCB is going to be this high! Honestly, Hawai'i is going to be good, might even be lowish for them
Paul –
I'm curious (since you've done your word count) how many times you've used the JUCO acronym – and which teams are in the lead in their use (and presumably their reliance on these transfers).
Can you satiate my curiosity?
Excellent and thorough preview. In many regards I agree that the schedule is weak, but I don't think you can proactively say OHIO would be the worst 12-0 team. It may well turn out they had the weakest schedule but things change. Rutgers was headed for a solid season until they suffered some key injuries last season. They could bounce back, and Marshall is in the 2nd year of regime change, so expect improvement there. NMSU has to get better eventually, right? Anything can happen. And goodness, for as much as everyone slobbers all over Temple… well OHIO will have to just keep beating their arses and still get no credit. Ohio's only problem is themselves… they need to avoid having those absolutely inexplicable brain-fart games (see: Kent 2009 and 2010). If this team shows up for 12 weeks, they win all 12.

This tour highlights some of the most notable attractions in Gallee, including the Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Meeting your coach pier-side, you will first travel to The Martin Wickramasinghe Museum of Folk Culture. This spacious, high-roofed building currently houses over a thousand artifacts of Sri Lankan rural life, providing a vast storehouse of knowledge of local folk culture and folk technology that dates back several centuries. The elegantly displayed artifacts showcase a wonderful collection of Buddhist religious items, writing utensils, pottery, metallurgical technologies, a collection of masks, costumes, jewelry, musical instruments, games, traditional lace-making and also presents the evolution of the Sinhala alphabet, along with many other interesting exhibits. After an enlightening visit of approximately 45-minutes, you will return to the ship for your lunch break.
The second portion of your tour begins with a visit to the famous Galle Fort. First built by the Portuguese, it was later modified by the Dutch during the 17th century. The Fort was one of the few structures that survived the infamous Boxing Day Tsunami that devastated Galle in December 2004. Today, even after 400 years of existence, the Fort looks amazing, thanks to reconstruction work done by the Archaeological Department of Sri Lanka. Entering through the old gates, you will drive around the Fort and visit the rampart which offers up spectacular views of Galle.
A final visit is included at the National Maritime Museum which is located within the grounds of Galle Fort. Housed in the Fort's Dutch warehouse, the collection here includes exhibits of marine artifacts recovered during underwater expeditions in the waters off the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Some of the items recovered and on view include artillery guns, shoes, earthenware, smoking pipes, ropes, maps and other marine-related pieces. Some of the items are believed to date back nearly 800 years.
After a fascinating afternoon at Galle Fort enjoying the various attractions, you will transfer back to the pier where your tour concludes.

Bettie's Box Office: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Updated: Friday, December 13 2013, 10:56 AM CST
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is roaring into theaters on Friday and is predicted to burn up the box office. The sequel in Peter Jackson's trilogy is expected to take in about $80 million in ticket sales this weekend.
Smaug is a dragon to die for. He's full of fire and breathes much needed life into a two hour and 41 minute movie. Too bad Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch) doesn't wake up until the final half hour of the film.
That's not to say this isn't a worthy sequel. In fact, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is better than its predecessor. I really enjoyed the introduction of Evangeline Lilly as the warrior elf, Tauriel. A little romance helps break up all the hobbiting.
The rest of the cast is solid, as usual, including Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Martin Freeman as Bilbo and Orlando Bloom as Legolas.
Overall, the second film in this wizards and lizards trilogy is much more than a placeholder for the big finish next December.
Smaug alone almost makes it worth paying full price. But, because the fire-breather keeps you waiting most of the movie, opt for a matinee.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is rated PG-13 for extended sequences of intense fantasy action violence, and frightening images (but nothing too disturbing). It opens in theaters on Friday, December 13.

|Access to Household Recycling Centres
Please accept our apologies If you are experiencing traffic congestion at or around your local Household Recycling Centre (HRC).
The congestion over the last few weeks is a temporary situation that occurs every year when the seasons change and the first initial surge of inputs arrive as residents start to undertake household DIY and gardening activities etc.
We are currently working to improve access to Household Recycling Centres and kindly ask for your patience. In the meantime we advise you to visit your local Household Recycling Centres during the following days/times.
More material can now be recycled at home
Did you know you can now recycle a wider range of materials in your green recycling box and, recycling wheelie bin? To find out more go to the household recycling page at http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/recyclingcollection.
Assisted Collections
If you wish to make a request for an assisted collection and you are from the Harborne or Brandwood ward please make your request using the wheelie bin enquiry form on the wheelie bin enquiry page.
If you would you like an assisted collection service for your green recycling, please make a request on the green recycling assisted collection page.
All other residents should continue to use the Request Assistance with Refuse & Recycling form above.
Black Refuse Bags
As a result of the council's need to save £102million in the 2013/14 financial year, rolls of bags will no longer be provided for this service from the end of March 2013. From that point, households will therefore need to purchase their own bags (available from most supermarkets and many other stores) to participate in the service.
Compost bins can be purchased from www.birmingham.getcomposting.com or by calling 0845 130 6090.
The Household Food and Drink Waste in the UK 2012 report has recently been published and updates WRAP's 2007 ground-breaking report The Food We Waste which exposed the full scale of the UK's food waste problem for the first time. It details how much food is wasted in UK homes, which foods are wasted most and why, and how much that waste costs. For more information on ways to reduce waste or, to read the report in full go to: www.wrap.org.uk/household-food-waste.

We collect:

If you don't currently have a doorstep collection of garden waste, we can collect up to two black bags of burnable garden waste (not soil or rubble) with your general domestic refuse.

An assisted service is available for people who are elderly and infirm or those with a physical disability. We cannot enter your property but can arrange to pick items up from immediately outside the property e.g. front door or side door if accessible.

- Owning your own composters
Do you have a lot of garden waste, such as grass and plant cuttings? Then why not save yourself some money and make your own compost?
You can buy a compost bin to suit your garden size and your budget.
View our composting page for more information.
- Tetra Paks (drinks carton) recycling
Each year 55,000 tonnes of orange juice, soup and milk cartons are thrown away, which is equal to 2.3kg per person.
Residents in Birmingham, instead of throwing the milk and juice cartons away can now recycle them. Working with ACE (Alliance for Carton Recycling) there are now facilities to collect Tetra Pak cartons at the Household Recycling Centres. We are not currently able to take them via doorstep green box.
For more information about Tetra Pak and how they are recycled go to www.tetrapakrecycling.co.uk
For more information on what you can recycle and where please go to our A-Z of Recycling.
- I'm not recycling at the moment, how do I start?
Call 0121 303 1112 and arrangements will be made to send you the relevant boxes and leaflets.
- If I live in a flat; can I still have my recycling collected?
Some flats already have recycling collections. However, because all flats are different, it can be complicated to arrange this. We are currently introducing recycling collections to flats across the whole city and hope to have as many suitable blocks on board this year.
If you have a management or residents' committee and the majority of residents would like the service, we can consider arranging it for you.
Just email us at email@example.com and we'll arrange a visit to consider if we can introduce recycling collections.
- Where should I recycle household batteries?
The Household Recycling Centres have a dedicated box for household batteries. All shops that sell household batteries are required by law to provide a recycling point.
- Where does all my recycling go?
The paper and card goes to the Smurfit Kappa mill at Nechells and is made into cardboard boxes. The glass/cans/plastic bottles currently go to a plant in Four Ashes, Wolverhampton. There are very few Material Recycling Facilities (MRF) that sort by machine, but it means we can take mixed materials without sorting them at the kerbside, which is costly and time consuming. The garden waste goes to composting facilities near the city and is composted on a large scale to be used for agricultural and landscaping purposes. This is why we cannot take anything in the green sacks that isn't compostable.
A 40 litre bag of Care Compost made by composting green garden waste collected in Birmingham and the West Midlands can be purchased from either Gravelly Lane Garden Centre, Erdington B23 6UJ (0121 448 0776) or Martineal Gardens, Priory Road, Edgbaston B5 7UG (0121 440 7430).
- I have more recycling than there is space in my box, should I just put it next to the box on collection day?
Yes, you can put it in another box or just bundle up the newspapers together to avoid them blowing around. Do not put plastic/cans/glass loose next to the recycling box, please put them in a bag or another box.
- Why can't all plastics be recycled?
Because there are many different types of plastics and they don't all melt down at the same temperature.
- Where does the rubbish go, is it land filled?
Birmingham is one of the few authorities that landfills less than it recycles. Most local authorities landfill around 65%. We use an energy from waste plant at Tyseley and this converts the energy from burning waste into electricity.
- Why do I see the men putting my recycling into a dustcart?
All the Council refuse and recycling vehicles are similar in appearance (i.e. large compaction vehicles), so it is being used as a recycling truck.
- What should I do if my box gets stolen/damaged?
You can use the Report Bag / Container Problems button on the Refuse Collection page and we will arrange for a replacement to be sent out to you.
