About Bud
I've been actively collecting, buying and selling now since 1968. I received a San Diego Comic-Con Inkpot Award in 1994. I am in Fifty Who Made DC Great (1985) , Founders of Comics Fandom (2010), Comics: Between the Panels (1998), etc.
I opened my first comic store with six partners in 1968, co-owned a chain of seven comic stores from 1972-1988, and distributed comics and specialty items from seven warehouses in four states until I sold that portion of the business to Diamond Comic Distributors in 1988.
I've exhibited at every San Diego Comic Con since the first in 1970. I've twice been on the Spectrum Jury panel and am on the advisory board, I've helped publishers assemble books using my own collection as source material, and I provide input or advice to publishers on new projects.
I have never stopped collecting and learning about comics and art history. I'm pleased that my enthusiasm and interest can help me to better introduce customers to new as well as vintage artists and collections. I use "Recommended," "Highly Recommended," and "Our Highest Recommendation" to show my personal endorsement and enthusiasm for items that I am most excited about.

In the immortal words of Dolly Parton, "I'm not offended by blonde jokes, because I know I'm not dumb. I also know I'm not blond."
It's with that mentality we felt okay asking our brunette senior editor, Karen Palmer, to go lighter — strawberry blond to be exact — for today's video. (She's wanted to take the plunge for a while.)
The purpose: Find out what's really involved in making the drastic color change, from the stylist consultation to how long the process takes.
Brilliant colorist Victoria Hunter of Whittemore House salon in New York guided us through the process. Yes, it took four hours, but the results were well worth it.

Stem pessary, Europe, 1925-1935
Stem pessaries are intrauterine devices (IUDs). They were a common gynaecological treatment in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They were also used as a contraceptive. An IUD works by preventing conception. Stem pessaries consisted of a rubber, metal, or glass stem attached to a cup or button to hold the stem upright and prevent it becoming lost in the uterus. This early intrauterine stem pessary consists of catgut loop and bone. It evolved from the Grafenberg Ring. This popular IUD was developed by German gynaecologist Ernst Grafenberg (1881-1957) in the 1920s. Early examples were made of silkworm gut and silver wire.

Some tips to repair a wooden windowAugust 20th, 2013
Wood is one of the most durable materials, but is also affected by the passage of time and do not receive proper maintenance, could cause damage of importance. Wooden Windows are exposed to the rigours of the climate and therefore suffer a much more accelerated wear due to the sun, water, wind and chemical agents. But if we repair it in time, there is no reason for our window last many years longer and you can avoid a call to a Seattle window installation company for help.
The most common damage on wood are: rot, deterioration of the PuTTY and damage to fittings (hinges, fasteners, screws, etc.). These problems are preventable with proper maintenance.
Tips for Success:
When the Windows are already damaged, we must act as soon as possible to prevent damage forward and completely destroy the wood. We dismantle the window leaves and we proceed to sand sheets and painting the frame, leaving bare wood, then you will see clearly the deterioration of window and according to the degree of the same, we will repair damaged parts. For sanding, we will use a Sander with a drive half granulated.
In the case of scratches or dents, it is very easy to repair them with a little wood putty, we however with wood pulp so that the filling is not noticeable. Wood-pulp is prepared with glue vinyl and sawdust. Let dry thoroughly and then sanded until it is flush with the rest of the surface of the window. We varnish or paint to taste.
If the wood is rotten, it is remove the segment that is in poor condition and fill the part. But if the wood is very affected, we will then replace the section of window rotten by a piece of healthy wood.
The window frame is a party more vulnerable to rot, as it remains constantly exposed to the Sun and rain. Particularly vulnerable is vertical frame, because it is rainwater that runs along the same penetrating into the wood and masonry. This problem typically remain hidden until it is too late, and the rot bursts painting. In this case, it is likely that we should change the entire bottom frame.
To change the lower sector of the wood frame, we separate it from the rest of the frame with a saw and clean edges. Cut a section identical to that rotted away and place it on your website, by sanding the entire surface and apply PuTTY repair or waterproof glue.
Let dry and then cover all cracks with putty or caulking (must be a material elastic, suitable for painting). When it is dry, we painted the frame and the leaves, let dry again and assemble the window.

Court Opinions
CRIMINAL PRACTICE: Cocaine Sale; EVIDENCE: Witness Credibility
Alert: Cocaine purchased from defendant by undercover agent was admissible despite discrepancy between police report's statement that drug buy took 25 minutes and agent's testimony that it took less time.
Subject Matter Index: Conviction for violating Georgia Controlled Substances Act affirmed as evidence supported it; court properly admitted cocaine purchased from defendant by an undercover agent, despite discrepancy between police report and agent's testimony regarding how long the drug buy took, since any difference went to credibility of agent's testimony.
Headnote: The Court of Appeals affirmed Gregory Gosier's conviction for violating the Georgia Controlled Substances Act, holding that the trial court properly admitted the cocaine that an undercover agent purchased from Gosier, despite the discrepancy between the police report's statement that the drug buy took 25 minutes and the agent's testimony that it took less time, since any difference went to the credibility of the agent's testimony. The Court also held that the evidence supported Gosier's conviction.
Text: Eldridge, Frank M., JudgeAppellant, Gregory Gosier, appeals from his conviction for violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act.
Viewed in a light most favorable to the verdict,1 the evidence shows the following: On September 2, 1997, Sergeant Calvin Little of the Quitman Police Department conducted an undercover drug operation. Officer Gail Crenshaw of the Colquitt County Drug Task Force was the undercover officer for the operation and was assisted by Willie James Knight, a confidential informant ("C. I."). Prior to sending Officer Crenshaw and the C. I. out to attempt to purchase drugs, Sergeant Little searched both the vehicle that was to be used in the undercover drug operation and the C. I. for contraband. Sergeant Little also installed video equipment in the vehicle.2
During the undercover operation, Officer Crenshaw drove the vehicle and the C. I. sat in the front passenger seat. After leaving Sergeant Little, they drove directly to Laurel Street. At the corner of Laurel Street and Hall Street they observed the appellant sitting on the steps outside his home. Officer Crenshaw stopped the vehicle and the C. I. exited the vehicle and approached the appellant. After a short conversation, the C. I. purchased cocaine from the appellant. Officer Crenshaw testified that she was able to observe the C. I. during the entire time he purchased the cocaine from appellant.
After purchasing the cocaine, the C. I. immediately returned to the vehicle and gave the cocaine to Officer Crenshaw. Officer Crenshaw placed the cocaine in a brown envelope and wrote on the front of the envelope the date, time, and location at which the buy occurred, the name of the appellant, and a description of the appellant. After making radio contact with Sergeant Little and informing him that a drug buy had been completed, Officer Crenshaw and the C. I. met Sergeant Little without attempting to make any additional drug purchases. Officer Crenshaw turned the brown envelope which contained the cocaine over to Sergeant Little.
On September 5, 1997, Sergeant Little delivered the brown envelope containing the cocaine to Gail Paine, a forensic chemist with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Laboratory ("GBI Crime Lab"). Sergeant Little testified that the brown envelope containing the cocaine remained in his custody and control from the time he received it from Officer Crenshaw until he turned it over to the GBI Crime Lab for testing. Ms. Paine testified that after performing several tests on the substance in the brown envelope she concluded that it was, in fact, .1 gram of cocaine. Ms. Paine testified that the brown envelope and the cocaine remained in her custody and control from the time she received it from Sergeant Little until she brought it into court on the day of trial.
1. Appellant alleges that the trial court erred in overruling defense counsel's objection to the admission of the brown envelope and the cocaine (State's exhibit 1) into evidence. Appellant argues that the alleged drug purchase in this case was not a proper "controlled buy." Specifically, appellant argues that there is a disparity in the testimony of the State's witness and the police report in the amount of time it took to complete the controlled buy. The police report stated that the controlled buy took 25 minutes. However, the C. I. and Officer Crenshaw testified that the controlled buy was accomplished in less time. Appellant alleges that, because of the disparity in time, the C. I. could have driven anywhere in town and purchased drugs from people other than the defendant.
We find appellant's argument without merit. The evidence is uncontroverted that: (1) the C. I. and the vehicle were searched for contraband; (2) the C. I. and Officer Crenshaw were together or the C. I. was in Officer Crenshaw's view from the time they left Sergeant Little until they met him again after the drug buy was completed; (3) the C. I. immediately turned the purchased cocaine over to Officer Crenshaw when the C. I. returned to the vehicle; (4) the controlled buy involving appellant was the only attempt Officer Crenshaw and the C. I. made to buy drugs prior to turning the cocaine over to Sergeant Little; and (5) the drugs remained in Officer Crenshaw's possession in the brown envelope until she delivered it to Sergeant Little. Hence, under the facts of this case, any discrepancy in the time the witnesses stated that it took to complete the drug buy and the time stated on the police report is irrelevant as to the admissibility into evidence of the brown envelope and the cocaine. Any discrepancy between the witnesses' testimony and the police report went only to the weight and credibility of their testimony. It was a matter for defense counsel to show through cross-examination of the witnesses that the C. I. had an opportunity to obtain the cocaine from another source and did so.
Further, "the admission of evidence is a matter which rests largely within the sound discretion of the trial court and will not be disturbed absent an abuse of discretion." (Citations and punctuation omitted.) McBee v. State, 228 Ga. App. 16 (491 SE2d 97) (1997). There was not an abuse of the trial court's discretion in admitting the brown envelope and the cocaine (State's exhibit 1) into evidence.
2. The appellant also contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion for a directed verdict of acquittal and that the evidence adduced at trial was insufficient to support his conviction.
The standard of review for the denial of a motion for a directed verdict of acquittal is the same as that for reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence to support a conviction. To sustain the conviction, the evidence must be sufficient to authorize the jury's finding of the defendant's guilt of the crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt.
(Citations and punctuation omitted.) Cantrell v. State, 230 Ga. App. 693, 694-695 (1) (498 SE2d 90) (1998).
On appeal[,] the evidence must be viewed in a light most favorable to the verdict, and appellant no longer enjoys a presumption of innocence; moreover, on appeal this court determines evidence sufficiency, and does not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility. [Cits.]
Grant v. State, 195 Ga. App. 463, 464 (393 SE2d 737) (1990); see also Jackson v. Virginia, supra. Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, the evidence was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the offense for which he was convicted. Jackson v. Virginia, supra.
Judgment affirmed. Blackburn, P.J., and Barnes, J., concur.
1Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979).
2Sergeant Little testified that a video recording of the drug purchase was not made because the wire that supplied power to the video camera came loose.
Trial Judge: Richard M. Cowart, Brooks Superior Court.,
Attorneys: George A. Bessonette, Homerville, for appellant. J. David Miller, District Attorney, and Bradfield M. Shealy, Assistant District Attorney, Valdosta, for appellee.,

Opinion: Generation split reveals misguided priorities
Published: Thursday, April 26, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 21:07
As my time here draws to a close and I reflect on my years at A&M, I can't help but feel a disconnect between our generation and those past.
Unlike the greatest generation, the baby boomers and generation X, we, the millennials, generation Y are still desperately seeking an identity.
Previous generations faced definitive big-ticket issues from civil war to civil rights and World Wars to Cold Wars and Vietnam. There were winners and losers.
Generation Y suffers from a lack of definitive battles to be won. We have the War on Terror, income gaps and gender gaps — all measured in shades of gray.
The result is an aimlessness today among our generation that is disconcerting — we don't tackle one issue, we tackle them all in short passionate spurts.
We decided changing our Facebook statuses was an effective way to stop child abuse against all reason. It defied all logic but it was quick, it was easy and, heck, it made us feel good.
We donated tens of thousands of dollars by texting Haiti. Never mind that the Haitian government has perfected poverty, ruling the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Never mind as much as 40 percent of donations went to the problem rather than the solution.
Then we jumped on the KONY2012 bandwagon, a movement that funded salaries, travel and more videos for the organization while the rest funded a Ugandan military as deplorable as Joseph Kony's withering and meager Lord's Resistance Army.
We want a cause, an identity, and seem determined to throw as much against the wall as we can until something finally sticks. Don't wear shoes this week, rage about bullying the next then make sure you put some skittles at the feet of Sul Ross.
There is certainly no lack of passion from our generation and no lack of problems in the world; I can only hope that as we grow older and our generation matures we can gain a bit of perspective and focus.
World Wars I and II weren't won in a day on Twitter. The Civil Rights movement didn't succeed because someone made a status update, "We have rights now FTW!"
I hope we can find the dedication and commitment to do the hard work of making the world a better place so when the next generation wants to know about us no one asks "whY?"

Vision problems are common, including difficulty seeing objects close up or far away—or both. It used to be that glasses or contact lenses were the only option. Today, eye surgery has the potential to permanently correct vision without the use of these visual aids.
How the Eye Works
When you look at an object, the light the object reflects is bent or refracted through the cornea—the clear layer that forms the front window of the eye—and then through the lens, to land on the retina. The nerve endings in the retina send signals through the optic nerve to the brain, where the image is recognized.
The most common eye problems result from refractive errors caused by imprecisely focused light waves. This can be due to a misshaped eyeball, cornea, or lens. The four basic types or errors are:
- Myopia or nearsightedness—Close objects can be seen clearly, but those distant are blurred.
- Hyperopia or farsightedness—Distant objects may or may not be seen clearly, but those close are blurred at an earlier age than with other refractive problems.
- Astigmatism —Both close and distant objects are blurred
- Presbyopia —The lens, which normally changes shape to focus on objects at varying distances, loses its flexibility; a common process with aging.
Making light rays focus on the retina properly will reduce refractive error. Traditionally, glasses and contact lenses correct the error and enhance vision. Today, more and more people are opting for refractive surgery. By changing the shape of the cornea, which is responsible for most of the eye's focusing power, refractive surgery can decrease or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses. It cannot, however, improve vision beyond what glasses or contacts were able to accomplish. Below are the most common types of refractive surgery.
Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK)
PRK reduces refractive error by sculpting the surface of the cornea using a laser. It is recommended for people with:
- Low to moderate myopia, with or without astigmatism
- Low to moderate hyperopia without astigmatism
The Procedure
- Prior to the procedure, a map is made of the affected eye's cornea. A computer uses this map to develop a program to guide the laser.
- The eye is anesthetized before surgery with eye drops.
- An excimer (cold) laser is used to first remove the layer of the epithelium cells over the eye. The epithelium is the wet outer coating over the cornea.
- Using the excimer laser and the predetermined program, the surgeon reshapes the cornea by removing thin layers of its outer surface.
- A soft contact lens is placed over the eye as a bandage.
- Total procedure time is about 10 minutes.
It will take a couple of days for the epithelium to regrow over the cornea. For the first few weeks, your vision may fluctuate between clear and blurry. Functional vision returns in six weeks, and vision stabilizes over the next six months.
LASIK uses the same laser as PRK, but adds an additional step that allows the treatment of more significant refractive errors with less postoperative pain and faster visual recovery. For this reason, it has become the most widely performed of the refractive surgeries. It is recommended for people with:
- Low, moderate, or high myopia, with or without astigmatism
- Low to moderate hyperopia, with or without astigmatism
The Procedure
- The eye is anesthetized before surgery with eye drops.
- A knife, called a microkeratome, is used to cut a flap in the cornea, leaving a hinge at one end of the knife.
- The flap is folded back to reveal the stroma, which is the middle section of the cornea.
- Pulses from a computer-controlled excimer laser vaporize a portion of the stroma, and the flap is replaced without the use of sutures.
- Total procedure time is about 15 minutes.
Removing the tissue on the inside of the cornea changes its shape, which reduces the refractive error.
It can take up to three to six months to for your vision to stabilize. The related procedure termed "LASEK" is also used by many ophthalmologists and is probably similar in terms of postoperative recovery and outcome.
Alternative Procedures
Other procedures that are being used more commonly include:
- Wavefront-guided LASIK, which measures subtle abnormalities in the surface of the cornea
- LASEK, which uses a microsurgical instrument to create a flap of epithelial corneal tissue
- EpiLasik, which separates a very thin sheet of epithelial tissue from the cornea
- Conductive keratoplasty, which uses a probe that releases controlled amounts of radio frequency to apply heat to the peripheral portion of the cornea
- Phakic intraocular lenses, which are designed for people with high degrees of refractive errors who aren't candidates for other refractive procedures
- Refractive lens exchange, which uses an artificial lens to replace your eye's natural lens in order to improve vision
If you are considering refractive surgery, be sure that your surgeon explains all possibilities to you and gives you a convincing reason why the proposed procedure is best for you.
Making the Decision
As with any medical procedure, there are risks involved with refractive surgery. Some risks and possible complications include:
- Over- or under-correction—If this happens, it can usually be improved with glasses, contact lenses, and enhancements.
- Corneal scarring
- Infection or inflammation
- Loss of best corrected visual acuity—You would not be able to see as well after surgery, even with glasses or contacts, as you did with glasses or contacts before surgery.
- Visual abnormalities, such as seeing halos or starbursts around lights at night
- Dry eye
- Corneal flap complications
Not all people with refractive errors are good candidates for refractive surgery. Talk with your doctor to determine what line of treatment is right for you.

While software license costs are a major expense, most companies spend very little time managing this critical and widely distributed asset until an audit occurs or a cost reduction program forces attention. This should be the year you flip from being reactive to being proactive in dealing with software asset and license management. Costs savings and peace of mind are just two of the benefits that you will realize.
In this Webcast an analyst from Frost and Sullivan will go over the results of a recently published white paper on this topic and Deloitte & Touche will discuss the benefits their customers have gained in automating their license management processes.

[Series] Hack ALA: Our ALA '11 Recommended Sessions
06/06/2011 § 20 Comments
Editors Note: Welcome to Hack ALA Week! We've been planning this for quite some time now, and although we're titling this a "Week" you can bet your bottom dollar we'll continue writing about ALA generally beyond this week. As the preeminent professional organization in our profession, whose mandates and bylaws permeate our classrooms as well as our future workplaces, the American Library Association deserves a critical eye as much as any other part of professional librarianship. Our goal herein is to examine this organization from the students' perspective, weighing pros and cons and assessing the value of membership for the library school student. There are myriad opinions on ALA and we encourage readers to explore them all, and hope that our subsequent posts on the topic offer an insight to how the organization works, and particularly this week, on how to survive ALAs Annual Conference. Enjoy and as always, we welcome you to think critically about, challenge and respond to our writings.
ALA Annual is lauded as "The Worlds Largest and Most Dynamic Library Conference and Exhibition," and arguably it can be seen as a rite of passage for new LIS professionals. There is no easy way to say this – the conference is a gigundo-crazy-overwhelming-ridicoulo-book/people/knowledge fest. I'm pretty sure even the seasoned ALAer veteran is still like a kid in a candy shop when the conference kicks off. That said, I, your friendly neighborhood HackLibSchool blogger, took to the web and through some major investigative efforts (made supremely easy by ALA Connect's Conference Scheduler) have compiled a list of the sessions and yes, even some informal meetups that LIS students might find interesting. Below is a short list; I deliberately avoided any career/interest sessions as I'd encourage you to investigate those options on your own. Check out the New ALA Members tag for a good overview of some other sessions to consider.
Night/Networking Events
ALAplay 2011
Friday June 24, 7:30 – 10pm
Hilton New Orleans Riverside
Networking, cosplay, comic books & graphic novels, board & social games, and more! Come enjoy an evening of fun while exploring new game offerings and collection development / programming ideas, while meeting and sharing ideas with librarians from across the country. Mingle with outstanding comics creators, win a piece of original art in our raffle, and snap a photo keepsake at our cosplay (or costume-play) photo booth (we bring the costumes and accessories from steampunk to sci-fi to gamer gear, you bring the imagination and attitude!). Cosplay of all kinds is encouraged but not necessary plus pick up tips on how to bring cosplay into your library.
This just sounds like a good old fashioned, weirdy librarian pop culturey fun time.
ALA Dance Party 2011
Friday June 24, 10pm – the breaka breaka dawn
Oz New Orleans (800 Bourbon St.)
Dance. Party. Is there anything else I need to say?
Info: http://bit.ly/alaparty
ALA 2011 Newbie & Veteran Tweet-up
Saturday, June 25 7-9pm
at BarUncommon
It's no secret that we love us some Twitter. If you haven't been to a Tweetup before (they are organized around a million different interests), this one would be a great place to start. Not only will you already have something in common with folks there (oversharing your life publicly on the internet… oh and libraries), but this session will be a great informal way to meet new colleagues, and what the hell! it's at a bar! What could go wrong when beer and librarians are involved? ;)
RSVP here: http://twtvite.com/ala11twtup
ALA Advocacy Flashmob and Freeze
Sunday June 26, 5:30 – 6:30pm
Jackson Square
Been talkin' up your advocacy chops around the program/internet? Prove it. Here's your chance.
Student Reception
Sunday June 26, 6:30-7:30 pm
Hilton New Orleans Riverside – Rosedown
The reception welcomes library school students and invited guest to network in a relaxed environment and learn more about ALA units from their representatives. The Student Chapter of the Year Award is presented and light refreshments will be served.
This sounds like a good, calm introduction to ALA – The Organization. Plan to come with questions for these "ALA Representatives" to make sure the awkward silences are handled gracefully. Oh, and light refreshments probably means free food if you're on a budget.
Batledecks 2011
Monday June 27, 5:30 – 7pm
Convention Center Rm. 344
Battledecks is not for the faint of heart. It is a nerve-wracking event where those competing must create a coherent presentation from a deck of slides that they have never seen before. This is truly the perfect way to end your conference experience as these courageous individuals compete for the glory of being crowned the next champ.
Developing speaking/presenting skills is becoming a foundation of many info professions, and making it into a game is probably a great idea. I'd expect some humor and some TedXALA type stuff out of this one.
International Librarians Reception
Monday June 27, 6-8 pm
Generation Hall – 310 Andrew Higgins Dr.
Please join the International Relations Round Table (IRRT) in welcoming and celebrating with librarians from more than 80 countries at the ALA Annual Conference. Open to all conference attendees, this reception offers a unique opportunity to network with hundreds of information professionals from around the world. Join us for a mixing of culture and ideas, regional cuisine, hors d'oeuvres and open bar (this event is free for international librarians). Advance registration is required. No tickets will be sold at the site.
Although there is a cost for this event, I'd like to encourage any who can afford it to attend. It seems we often get centered on our own country and forget that librarians exist all around the world. Building an international community is more important now than ever.
Conference Sessions
Professional Socialization and Trendspotting
Friday, June 24, 9am-12pm OR 1:30-4:00pm
Convention Center Rm. 275
ALA leaders will speak to the students during these times; seminars on ALA's history and leadership, evidence-based practice, networking, assessing conference presentations, spotting trends in sessions and exhibits, etc.
Approaching this as a 'conference hack' session seems appropriate.
Conference 101
Friday June 24, 1-3:30pm
Convention Center Rm. 293-296
Are you a first-time conference attendee with a long list of questions? Long-time ALA members and leaders will teach you to decipher the conference program and navigate the exhibits. You'll learn how ALA really works and leave with the confidence and knowledge to make the most of your conference experience.
And another. I've heard these introduction sessions can be good or bad depending on how comfortable you feel in the conference environment. Been to a few already? You could probably skip this one and be just fine.
Conference Orientation
Saturday June 25, 8-10 am
Convention Center Rm. 271-273
New to the Annual Conference or ALA? Get a fun and informative introduction to the Annual Conference and New Orleans. Learn how to navigate the exhibits and decipher the conference program, how to make ALA and NMRT work for you, and where to spend your free time in the city. NMRT provides tips from the pros and an orientation that will prepare you to take full advantage of the conference experience.
This is most likely going to be a great place to start, grab some info, a map, and maybe meet up with some fellow n00bies.
Leadership of ALA Student Chapters
Saturday June 25, 12:30-1:30
W New Orleans – Studio 2
No official description in the Conference Scheduler yet, but I'd wager a guess that this session will be one of the more valuable ones for our self-directed and strong personality folks. We need good leaders at the student chapters, so that they can become better leaders in the organization later on. I vote Britt Foster for ALA Queen. Forever.
Emerging Leaders Salon
Saturday June 25 1:30 – 3:30 pm
Convention Center Rm. 245
All classes of Emerging Leaders come together to discuss the program and their projects.
The Emerging Leaders program is worth examining. These folks are chosen out of a pool of applicants to represent the future of ALA and librarianship through service and new ideas. Supposedly, applications for the 2012 round will open soon. Have a good idea, and a passion for the profession? APPLY! But first go to this session and see what it's all about.
Seizing Opportunities to Serve: Professional Involvement, Local to National
Saturday June 25, 1:30 – 3:30 pm
Convention Center Rm. 265-268
Are you just getting started in librarianship? Are you looking for ways to volunteer for your local, state, regional or national organizations? Do you want to serve on a committee, act as a reviewer, or run for an office, but don't know where or how to get started? Well, you've taken your first step by joining ALA! Our panel of speakers will help you with the next steps, as they discuss their involvement in professional organizations, tips and techniques on how to be an effective volunteer, and why service work is valuable to both you and librarianship at large!
Diversity and Outreach Fair
Saturday June 25, 3 – 5pm
Convention Center – Special Events, Halls I/J
The annual Diversity and Outreach Fair celebrates local library services, programs and collections to underserved and under-represented communities. Visit with program implementers, learn details and strategies for success, and consider how they might be repeated in your library community. Enjoy the festive atmosphere while networking and learning about these important programs.
This is an area that all of us can support. From the description it sounds like a bazar-type session, so it might be worth stopping in and chatting at a booth or two before taking an afternoon break.
The Side Gig: How to Supplement Your Income in Tough Economic Times
Sunday June 26, 8-10am
Convention Center Rm. 269
Finding another income is critical for so many librarians and support staff. This program will feature library staff who have found second jobs to supplement their incomes. The audience will be introduced to traditional and non-traditional options, how to find a second job that fits, and their benefits and disadvantages.
Hey! We wrote about this too (kinda) - Non-Traditional LIS Roles.
*Student Learning Outcomes*
Monday June 27, 10:30am – 12 pm
Embassy Suites New Orleans Convention Center – Jean Lafitte 1
ALA's Standards for Accreditation of Master's Programs in Library & Information Studies stress the importance of program-level student learning outcomes. ALA-accredited programs must demonstrate that they are engaging in broad-based and continuous planning, development, and improvement through assessment and evaluation at the program level. Join Committee on Accreditation members Ling Hwey Jeng and David Werner as they host a discussion centered on this timely and important topic. Jim Carey, Professor Emeritus of the School of Information at the University of South Florida, will be the guest speaker. Dr. Carey's research includes measurement and evaluation within a higher education setting.
I went ahead and *starred* this session because I think this is a key one for us to pay attention to. The accreditation process and guidelines are what sets the standards for our programs, and as we here at HackLibSchool have explored, perhaps those standards need to be reassessed from a different (student-focused) perspective.
How I Landed My First Librarian Position, And What I Did "In Between."
Monday June 27, 10:30am – 12pm
Convention Center Rm. 398
New library professionals have been particularly affected by today's economic climate. Facing a tough job market, many are unemployed, underemployed, or employed outside the field. This program features panelists that have successfully leveraged extended periods of job seeking into fantastic job offers. Current students and recent graduates will receive honest, hard-hitting advice on how to maximize their "in between" time, as well as glean inspiration from peers that have finally landed their first librarian position.
Lastly, we would love to host some sort of HackLibSchool meetup at some point during the conference, but may need some help planning it and getting organized since none of us are too familiar with NOLA. We're thinking a nice informal drinks/chats meetup. Suggestions? Add in the comments! Thank You!
§ 20 Responses to [Series] Hack ALA: Our ALA '11 Recommended Sessions
I also think it's important to leave time to see the vendors! There are so many and it will takes hours to go through! Don't forget to pack an extra bag for the free books from the publishers! — My two cents.
Hello everyone! I'm chairing the NMRT student reception, and wanted to extend an extra invitation to all of you to attend. There will be food and a chance to talk with other library school students and librarians. I'm also an alumna of the Emerging Leaders program, so if you have questions on that, I'm more than happy to talk about it.
So, please, come! Eat! Say hello :)
Thanks for a great post!
I'll put in a plug for ALAplay, which is kind of like mini-ALA Comic Con. Take the best parts of the traditional Open Gaming Night, add some cosplay and free swag, and you have a great way to meet other attendees in a fun setting. Then you can head to the ALA Dance Party together. :)
Jenny Levine
ALA staff
I'd like to put in a plug for ALCTS 101 on Friday night, June 24th, from 7:45 to 9:00 pm in room 245 of the Convention Center.
If you're interested in a career in tech services, come hear what ALCTS is all about. Meet and network with new and veteran colleagues.
We've set the evening up in a speed-dating format, so that you'll have fun while meeting and learning.
Prizes for the ALA student chapter with the most students in attendance, membership give-aways, and other cool things.
All welcome! Come join us!
Debbie Ryszka, chair, ALCTS Membership Committee
All the events mentioned sound FANTASTIC!!! Perhaps post ALA, HACK-ers can post a sort of diary of what they did for each day. :)
Great list of events!
I'd like to suggest one more: LLAMA/NMRT New Leaders Discussion Group, scheduled for Saturday, June 25, 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm at Morial Convention Center Rm 271-273. (http://www.llama.ala.org/llamaleads/?p=928)
This newly created discussion group is designed to provide opportunities for informal discussion and networking among LIS students, new librarians, new members of LLAMA and/or NMRT, librarians who are making career shifts, experienced leaders, and anyone interested in developing leadership skills.
I'll be convening the Discussion Group, and I'd like to extend an invitation for all of you to attend. Hope to see you there!
Thank you for the list–now I have some focus. I am part of the panel for the Side Gig Sunday June 26, 8-10am, Convention Center Rm. 269 if cobbling together diverse lines of income catches your eye.
[...] 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 [...]
Thanks for the recommendations. I'm currently going through the ALA scheduler and overwhelmed by the sheer number of sessions (even limited by my interests). I'll try to make it to the HackLibSchool stuff because I'd love to meet you guys (and see anyone I already know again).
Thanks for the great additions to my schedule! I'm going to have to really work on my shyness to take advantage of all the networking.

Help:PollsCreate Talk0
- This extension can be enabled or disabled using Special:WikiFeatures.
- This extension is enabled by default on Wikia.
You can add simple polls to your wiki using a simple syntax.
- In Edit mode for an article page, change the tab at the top of the editor from "Visual" to "Source".
- Find the place on the page where you want to add a Poll.
- Enter the following code, and replace it with the content of your poll:
<poll> Title of poll Choice 1 Choice 2 etc. </poll>
<poll> What Is Your Favourite Color? Red Green Blue Other </poll>
- Finally, click Vote! You're done! Now anyone can vote in your poll.
How does it work?
Votes are registered under either your username or, if you're not logged in, your IP address. This means the poll does not take a reliable count of unique individuals, and it should not be used for important purposes.
Users can change their vote at any time.
The poll will display the number and percentage of votes for each choice, the total number of votes given so far, and the date and time when the poll was created.
Can the votes be reset?
It is not possible to end, i.e. to 'freeze', a poll. All polls last indefinitely.
To reset all votes, change either the title or one of the poll's choices (which will, in effect, create a new poll).
Since it's so easy to change and reset polls, past poll results can easily be lost. Reverting to the version prior to the reset may allow you to reclaim the information, but you should not rely on this functionality. If historical polls are important to you, it is safest to record the results in some other form of wiki-text, either one time or at intervals.
Customization options
It is possible to customize the design of the poll extension via CSS.
Changing the width of the poll
Polls are 40em wide by default. Wiki admins can make the poll widths changeable by adding the following to MediaWiki:common.css on your wiki:
div.ajax-poll { width:auto !important; }
This will make all polls on your wiki be as wide as the "box" they're in, i.e. they'll usually expand to be as wide as the article body. You can now set its width by wrapping it in a div with a set width, or a table cell, or in any other layout box. Example:
<div style="width:250px;"> <poll> How wide is this poll? Wide Not so wide </poll> </div>

Start-rite Samba Shoe, Navy
Product information
Smart leather shoes with a rounded toe and simple Velcro fastening strap. Designed with a cushioned ankle and footbed for improved comfort and fit.
Measure and Fit at Home:
Start-rite believe it's really important to measure a child's feet accurately before buying them every pair of shoes, as ill-fitting shoes can have a serious impact on your child's foot health. To be sure that your child is wearing shoes that fit properly, you can either visit one of the John Lewis stores, where trained staff will measure and fit your child with shoes, or if that's not convenient, use one of our specially developed fitting gauges to help you measure your child's feet at home.
Click here to find out how to measure using the gauges and to watch step by step videos of how to fit your child's shoes.

Editors Notes
Start-rite's history dates back to 18th century Norwich, where a leather worker called James Smith began offering the first ready-made, off the peg footwear. Following the First World War, the company began to produce footwear specially designed for children, which gave their unique feet room to grow. The name "Start-rite" was first used in the 1920s and the iconic twins logo was introduced a decade later. Start-rite began to focus primarily on children's shoes in 1952 and after extensive research they noted the need for shoes to be fitted by trained people, developed multiple width fittings and introduced their "heel stiffener" to help balance and growth. They received the Royal Warrant in 1955 after supplying the Windsor children with shoes. In recent years they have evolved to use two hundred years expertise to meet the needs and desires of today's children.
