Francis Dunnery
Francis Dunnery is an English musician, singer-songwriter, record producer and record label owner. He is best known as a solo performer since 1990. Dunnery's musical approach is diverse. While with It Bites, his songs mixed an outright love of varied pop music with a solid grounding in progressive rock and hard rock. His solo work has continued to express these influences but added further elements including soul, disco, folk music, blues, hip-hop beats, chamber pop and electronica. Most of his tours have been solo and acoustic-based, and this has increasingly influenced the sound of his albums.

Concurrency and Parallelism: Native (C/C++) and Managed (.NET) Perspectives

Parallel Computing Platform team members Stephen Toub, Rick Molloy, Don McCrady and Dana Groff join me for a chat about the differences and similarities in their conceptual approach to designing and building concurrent programming abstractions targeting .NET developers and native (C/C++) developers.
Besides the obvious semantic (and runtime) differences between purely managed (.NET) and native code (C/C++), how does the Parallel Computing Platform team develop technologies for each domain and how are these technologies different? Surely, system level
developers need system level tooling support that can improve their experience with writing native code that can effectively (and safely) scale to 8 cores (and that's nothing. How many cores will be the norm in 5-8 years? Mostly likely significantly more than
8....). There's no PLINQ for C++, for example. That said, the fundamental problems the Parallel Computing Platform team are trying to solve span languages and runtimes, but are the differences only in implementation details and programming abstractions? What's
the same? What's different? How? Why?
This is another great conversation with some of the folks designing and building technologies that will ultimately, in one form or another, converge into tools (or components of tools) that will help software developers effectively, efficiently and reliably compose applications and services in a Many Core world.
Oops, something didn't work.
Are you sure you're not a .NET hater? How quickly can you crank out Web apps or Windows GUI's with MASM? How about we use the right tools for the job and not assume that C/C++/MASM is the best tool for everything that isn't a prototype?

Football's Kovanda is Semifinalist for Ray Guy Award
Scott Kovanda, a senior on the Ball State football team, has been selected as one of 10 semifinalists for the Ray Guy Award.
The Ray Guy Award - named for football's premier punter - honors the nation's best collegiate punter. The Augusta Sports Council created the award in 2000. Along with awards such as the Heisman Trophy and the Doak Walker Award, the Ray Guy Award honors one of the most important members of any football team. The ASC presents the award live each year on The Home Depot College Football Awards broadcast on ESPN from Orlando, Florida.
This marks the second straight season Kovanda has been named a semifinalist for the award. A Ball State team captain, he has helped the Cardinals rank fourth in the nation in punt return defense. Of his 35 punts this season, only four have been returned for a 1.5 average, and he has pinned opponents inside the 20-yard line 22 times.
Kovanda has punted 35 times for 1,442 yards and a 41.2 average. He has 217 career punts for 8,931 career punt yards and a 41.2 career average. Kovanda ranks fourth in Ball State history in career punt yardage, fourth in career punts and third in career average.
The Ray Guy Award winner is selected by a national voting body of Football Bowl Subdivision coaches, sports information directors, national media and former Ray Guy Award winners. Punters are evaluated on their overall statistics and contribution to the team. Particular emphasis is place on the following statistics: net average, percentage of total punts inside the 20-yard line and percentage of punts not returned.
The presentation of the Ray Guy Award will be featured on The Home Depot College Football Awards live Thurs., December 6 at 7:30 pm ET on ESPN.
Ball State is 7-3 overall and 4-2 in Mid-American Conference play. The Cardinals host Ohio Wednesday at 8 p.m. at Scheumann Stadium before completing the regular season at Miami University Nov. 23. Ball State is bowl eligible for a second straight season under second-year head coach Pete Lembo.

on December 22, 2012 - 12:01 AM
Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I are in a long-distance relationship and agreed to split our visits 50-50 between our cities. Initially, it worked great. Unfortunately, his work schedule has changed, and for the past year he has come here to visit me only once every month or so, while I frequently drive for hours to see him.
He says because he's away from home for work, it's only fair that I travel to see him since it's "less trouble" for me. I understand he puts in a lot of time with travel for work, but at what point does the ratio become unbalanced and unfair?
I miss weekends in my city with my friends, and it makes me sad that he won't make the effort to see me. What do you think is right in this matter?
– Uncertain in San Francisco
Dear Uncertain: "What's right" is the original agreement you had with your boyfriend, or something close to it. Because he is no longer willing to live up to his part in the bargain, consider seeing him less often.
Perhaps if he has a chance to miss you, he will feel impelled to make more of an effort. And if he's not, then you won't have to cut off your social relationships at home – relationships you may need if this romance doesn't work out.
Pennies from heaven
Dear Abby: Several years ago, when I read one of your letters about pennies from heaven, I laughed about it to myself. My sister-in-law had died a few months earlier and I said, "OK, Sharyn, if you're there, send me a penny from heaven."
Abby, the next day when I arrived at work, there on my keyboard was a perfectly placed penny. And for weeks afterward I kept finding more pennies. Finally I had to say, "OK, Sharyn, I get it." And the pennies stopped.
– A Believer Now in Somers, Conn.
Dear Believer Now: I'm glad your faith is restored. If you saved them, have them made into charms for a bracelet. Every time you wear it you'll feel close to the sister-in-law who's smiling down on you.

A Cheektowaga man faces attempted burglary and other charges after police said he fired a rifle into a first-floor flat last week.
Darold Page, 22, of Claudette Court, was arrested following an investigation by Detectives Joseph Crean and Terry Griffin, based on information they gleaned from area residents .
The incident was related to animosity between Page and an occupant of the flat down the street from his own residence, according to Cheektowaga Police Chief David J. Zack.
Several gunshots were fired into the house during the early-morning incident while several people, including children, were in the apartment, Zack said. The gunshots damaged a window, a couch and a computer but none of the residencts were injured, he said.
Page was briefly jailed Thursday on first-degree attempted burglary, first-degree reckless endangerment, second-degree menacing, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, second-degree criminal mischief and child endangerment charges, Zack said.
He pleaded not guilty before Town Justice Dennis Delano and was released on $500 bail pending further court proceedings.

A girl with long hair that reaches down to her knees. Many guys mistaken her for being pretty but she isn't really. The only thing she has special going on for her is her excessive long straight her. Other than that she's flat chested with A size tits, has no figure, no butt, and would look like a guy if her hair was short. She also has big lips like a black girl which is why she tries to act black when she isn't. Her boyfriend recently broke up with her because she's a total bitch that flirts with any guy she sees and because he was incapable of titty fucking her since she has small tits. She use to live in Buena Park but this specimen has now herded to Westminster in CA. No guy likes her and guys only talk to her because they just want a quick fuck and then just quit it. That's all she's good for. Buy her drinks, get her drunk, and she will give you bomb head and after that quit it or pass it to your friend.
"That girl Toni has long hair too bad she's such a butter face"
"Toni has long hair but her tits are too small"
"Was with Toni last night she was pretty easy to get in bed"
"That girl Toni acts too ghetto for me"

A word used in place of the word easy. Pronounced like the name Tony. Used commonly in the south of england.
Instead of "im easy mate", the saying goes "im toni mate", or "too easy" its "too toni", or "shes really easy mate" its "shes really toni mate"

Women's Tennis Returns Home Saturday In Dual Action
MUNCIE, Ind. – The Ball State women's tennis team returns home Saturday when it hosts Cleveland State for a 1 p.m. first serve at the Muncie YMCA Tennis Center.
The Cardinals improved to 4-1 in dual action and picked up a 4-3 upset over Big Ten foe Michigan State in East Lansing last Sunday afternoon. Sunday's victory marked just the fifth time Ball State has topped Michigan State in women's tennis, and first since the 2001 season.
Courtney Earnest and Courtney Wild have won back-to-back Mid-American Conference Player of the Week honors. Earnest currently is undefeated in dual action with a 5-0 record while Wild is 3-1 for the year.
Ball State and Cleveland State will begin competition with three doubles matches and then end with six singles matches.
This season the Intercollegiate Tennis Association has put trial rules in place to shorten the matches in hopes to bring more attention to the sport and for collegiate tennis. The first change affects the doubles matches. Previously, all doubles matches were eight-game prosets and now they are six-game prosets with a 5-5 tiebreaker. The ITA has also removed the third set from women's tennis singles competition. Instead of playing best of three, the third set will be replaced by a 10-point tie breaker.
After the match Saturday, the Ball State women's tennis team will return to action Feb. 15 when it hosts Cincinnati at 1 p.m. in the Muncie YMCA Tennis Center.

President's Budget Includes Funding Increases and Cuts to Blood Cancer Programs
The President's budget proposal for fiscal year (FY) 2011 was delivered to Congress on February 1st. The President's budget reflects the economic climate and an effort to reduce spending. As a result, domestic programs are being squeezed. While indicating continued support for cancer research, the President's budget falls short of the commitment needed for cancer prevention and screening.
The President's budget provides the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with $32 billion which $1 billion more than the FY 2010 appropriated level. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) includes an additional $126 million for a total of $32 billion $5.26 billion in FY 2011.
The cancer programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are cut by $19 million (3.9 percent) under the President's budget. The Geraldine Ferraro Blood Cancer Program is eliminated under the President's Budget. The Geraldine Ferraro Blood Cancer program received $4.7 million in FY 2010 provides important educational resources that help and support vital patient services as well as helps support community-based organizations that serve a critical role for cancer patients and their families.
The IMF will be working to ensure Congress supports the cancer programs funded through the NIH, NCI, and the CDC. For more information about IMF's activities, please visit IMF's advocacy page at www.myeloma.org.
President to Lead Congressional Health Care Summit
President Obama has scheduled a bipartisan congressional health care summit for February 25th in Washington, DC that will be broadcast live on C-SPAN. This meeting is intended to draw more Republican input into health care reform legislation that has been largely directed by Democrats. White House officials have made it clear that the President will not be starting from scratch and that the House and Senate bills would remain an integral part of the legislation. Republican leadership is uncomfortable with the possibility of participating in this meeting without starting over on health care reform and has asked the President to scrap the current House and Senate passed bills as a measure of goodwill.
Congressional Recess
The House and Senate are in recess for Presidents Day. Both Chambers will resume legislative business on February 22nd.
Congressional Retirements
A number of Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle have announced that they would not be running for reelection in November. This list includes Representatives Marion Berry (D-AR), Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL), Vernon Ehlers (R-MI), Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), John Shadegg (R-AZ), and Diane Watson (D-CA) as well as Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN).

The brand new Defiant. "For those who demand style, but refuse to compromise for it." A new benchmark in comfort, quiet, stability, and ventilation in a street helmet. The helmet you'd build if you wanted to treat yourself to a dream. Every feature optimized for the conditions, speeds and environment of the real world. A helmet for others' top-of-the-line models to envy.
Although much more aggressive on the outside, as compared to its siblings, the new Defiant contains all the internal attributes that set every Arai apart from the crowd. Just some of the exclusive Arai features: FCS, Multi-Density one-piece EPS liner, micro fitting interior padding, pull-down spoiler, Dry-Cool liner material.
The Defiant has an evolved version of Arai's very popular intermediate oval interior shape. Arai is the only company offering multiple interior-fit packages to better address the infinite variety of consumers' head shapes and sizes. Its interior fit shapes evolve and improve as company research recognizes trends based on consumer feedback. The Defiant shape is similar to the current Corsair-V and Vector models, and the former RX-7 Corsair and Quantum-2, but the Defiant's shape represents a further refinement of interior shape configuration based on market feedback and Arai's continual comparison, measurement, and research of human head shapes.
SAI Max-Vision Brow Vent Shield
The SAI MAX-Vision Brow Vent Shield continues the enhanced field of view of the SAI eye port (with 5mm more peripheral view at each side) with a full eye port cavity to accept the Pinlock 100% Max-Vision lens for larger anti-fog field of view. Clear Pinlock 100% Max-Vision Brow Vent anti-fog lens included with the helmet.
Hand-Formed Natural Shell Shape
The foundation of every Arai helmet is a basic and simple organic shell shape. A helmet is first and foremost an energy management system! From ventilation to aerodynamics, shield systems, radios, Bluetooth, and graphics-everything comes secondary, and none should ever interfere with the helmets number one job of impact energy management. Arai looks to the incredibly strong shape of an egg for inspiration. The smooth uninterrupted spherical shape that transfers stress loads more evenly across its entire surface.
Advanced Ventilation
Ventilation and aerodynamics are designed to work together to flow more air while reducing drag. The new IC-4 upper front intake vents have a slide-gate closure that seals more completely when closed, allowing for a cleaner airflow when closed. The new ACR-4 flow through exhaust vent also allows airflow to pass over and through the vent, accelerating exhaust flow from the helmet interior when open, and reducing drag when closed.
Micro-Fittable Removable Interior
Fully removable/replaceable/washable interior comfort head liner, cheek pads, chin strap covers, and neck roll pad. Cheek pads have a 5mm peel-away layer to assist with facial fit and comfort. The helmet comes standard with 5mm peel-away temple pads to add another level of customization, giving the helmet interior a little extra width when needed.
Removable Neckroll
The new IR neck roll pad has an improved shape to flow more air to the bottom of the helmet at lower speeds and improve rider comfort. The new shape also makes it easier to put on and take off the Defiant, with less contact and pressure on the ears. New water repellent material along the bottom edge improves comfort for a dryer ride in wet conditions.
FCS Cheek Pads
The design of the new FCS cheek pads cannot be overemphasized. The contoured shape, combined with multiple layers of varying foam densities, supported by a patented spring, cradles the face like nothing that has ever come before-even in an Arai. The FCS cheek pads are gently, simultaneously holding the cheek and jawbone firmly for a secure fit, with gentle contact with the soft areas of the cheek for an incredible all day comfort without pressure. An added bonus of the FCS pads is the effect it has on lowering noise levels.
IR Front Spoiler Edge
The all new IR front spoiler edge trim creates a stabilizing down force, reducing buffeting, lifting, and wind noise that can be generated by the turbulence trapped between your shoulders and the bottom of the helmet.
Aerodynamic Exhaust Vent Cowling
New more aerodynamic upper and side exhaust vent cowling, sculpted to enhance stability while increasing exhaust efficiency. The side vent cowls are tailored to the needs and speeds of the street. Compared to the Corsair-V, the cowlings are larger and more aggressively styled, as lower street speeds require more surface area and a more refined shaping in order to deliver the increased stability. High speed performance is also excellent.
Handmade Craftsmanship
Arai's exceptional handmade craftsmanship, made to a higher standard of protection, comfort, and quality that's difficult to put a price on.
IR Chin Vent
The new IR chin vent offers more than simply an aggressive look, it also provides multiple functions with tangible benefits to the rider. Position 1 allows air to flow through the top port and up the inner surface of the shield for defogging. Position 2 allows air to flow through the bottom four ports to the mouth. The new design also allows for easy vent replacement.
Brow Vent Channeling
The faceshield brow vents, like those of the Corsair-V, redirect incoming air to the temples instead of the forehead, and around the ear area (missed by many helmet ventilation systems). The stale air is then exhausted out the side exhaust cowls. The airflow over the temple artery reportedly also helps cool the blood flow to the brain area. The simple re-purposing of the existing vent features greatly improves helmet performance and rider comfort.
-Incorporates new Pro Shade shield system.
-Features brand new Eco-Pure liner, a new micro-fiber like weave material that has a softer feel, and contains anti-microbial properties to maintain freshness longer between washes. New liner does not attract or hold dirt as readily.
-Special accomodations for mounting speakers in the ear cup area.

Give Me Hope!
January 15, 2013 - Amy Jo Hanna-Eckenrode
Among my current crew of five rescue pets that permit me to share my house with them, "Hope", is my 25 lb. ball of chaos. Part aardvark, part badger, part fox, and a whole lot of long-hair Dachshund, Beagle, and Collie, she is a little mixed-breed bundle of love tainted with Tasmanian devil.
Found as a stray nursing 7 puppies, Hope was rescued by kind neighbors from the cold of winter. A temporary home was found for her by my vet's staff (thus the beginning of my entanglement) to care for her brood until they were weened. Her puppies were successfully, and quickly, adopted into loving homes, and I, ... well, I inherited the rabbit-obsessed, mini-Cheetah beast.
Hope and I have been co-habitating for almost a year now and in all honesty she really has come a long way. The little girl had few manners or little understanding of how to impersonate a domesticated house pet. Her worst habit, aside from pottying inside immediately upon coming back in from doing her business, was and still remains that she is one of the stealthiest, fence skimming, operatives I've ever encountered. She makes Evelyn Salt look like an amateur.
It is her obsession with rabbits, however, that gives me my biggest challenge yet. Once she hones in, it's all over. You can actually see the radar waves radiating from her head. The worst and most embarrassing part is that she has actually escaped my fenced yard with me standing only feet from her.
Once she falls into the 'hunting dog trance' there is no snapping her out of it. For the first couple of months she could dig a tunnel and slither under the fence before I could finish calling her name. After successfully lining my yard with a less-than attractive ring of rocks, she began to figure out how to maneuver the stones some weighing almost as much as her.
Eventually, Hope decided to begin listening to my demands to stop digging and slithering. Possibly because she started to feel bad for me. However, the rabbit-filled-paradise-of-a-yard next door was too much. She soon began scaling the fence. Her agility almost impressive if it wasn't for fear of her safety.
She has brought gently-carried baby bunnies into the house and mouthful after mouthful of fur (from some very unlucky, bald rabbits). This fall the unforgettable, piercing shriek of a rabbit sent me charging out into the yard only to find Hope successfully cornering a full grown rabbit. She was nose to nose with the stunned creature who could barely breathe out of fear just waiting for me to give the divine signal of acknowledgement. It ended well for the rabbit, but that's a whole other story.
It's been an unbelievable experience with Hope, having always had a house of senior Goldens who were put-out simply by having to relocate a yard or two when the position of the sun shifted.
We've gone through a clothes line, a metal cord, a galvanized wire rope, 4 collars (including an indestructible Lupine) and 3 leashes.
I call Hope a Velociraptor-Dox because of how cunning and intelligent she is. Like the prehistoric Rex you can literally watch her figure things out. (to quote a line from 'Jurassic Park').
For the past few months we've actually had a stretch of calm as Hope seems to settle into her new life with us. Or, she has decided that my certifiable frenzy is much more annoying to deal with than the discipline itself.
Until last night.
I had just roused Hope from her deep sleep for one last potty break and herded her and her brother, Oakley, a 100 lb. Golden, into the yard. It was unusually quiet outside as I gathered garbage for the next morning's pick up. It could not have been more than two minutes before Oak hurried to the door and gave me 'that look'. Oak was nervously prancing with just a bit too much of an ecstatic look in his eyes. I knew immediately that Houdini was on the hunt. And, she 'had' been doing so well.
Until now, I have been fortunate to immediately spot Hope a yard or two away in full hunt mode. She has never ventured from the block and her safari has never lasted longer than five minutes. For that I've been beyond thankful. My worst fear is for anything to happen to her. But, like a bloodhound, there is no breaking the intensity of her pursuit once initiated. I've actually picked her up attempting to 'snap' her out of her trance. I've even discussed having an Invisible Fence installed by my friend who carries the line and has great success with it.
This time was different. I couldn't sense Hope's fleeting presence or spot one shadow of her tailwind as she zoomed from alley to neighboring yards. Fearful of searching too large an area in case she came back on her own (which she has also done several times... as if nothing had happened....) I reluctantly widened my scope.
After what was becoming the customary five minute mark passed, my stomach began to churn. Hope had always remained within eyesight. Not tonight. Complete silence. No rattling fences or battered branches. No sound of a crazed dog wildly vying for first place in the Boston Marathon. The deepest sense of fear engulfed me. What would I tell people? My family? The vet? Those that rescued her? The 911 crew I was ready to frantically call?
I knew Hope was in her rabbit-obsessed trance and that when I did find her it might be a vile mess. Death is not pretty. Especially at the hands of a saber-tooth, dachshund-beagle. But there was not a noise on my street. Except from me. As my panic mounted so did the pitch of my voice. My poor neighbors.
As I picked up my pace, rushing up and down the street and alley, searching out front and back even rounding the corners thinking she was becoming more confident in her hunts, I feared the worse. My heart sank. I was becoming one big glob of unglued irrationality. Every time I passed by the house, Oakley and the three cats watched with great interest -- Oakley, with sheer giddiness. It had been easily three hours. Or, actually about 20 minutes, but the clock of panic was frozen.
As I paused for one moment in an attempt to gather some semblance of composure, I saw a shadow out of the corner of my eye. Low and behold, out of nowhere, the Velociraptor appeared scurrying towards me with a look of world domination. Her mouth was crammed full of something. Whatever it was, it was huge and she had won. I was not ready to face what my little episode of National Geographic's Wild Kingdom had brought home. Whatever it was, it was locked within the confines of her jaws and she was not about to relinquish her grand prize.
As she audaciously attempted to scoot past me in order to head to the backyard to safely secure her kill, I grabbed her collar and instinctively reached for whatever grotesque remnants might remain. That's when I saw it.
Protruding from all corners of her mouth, dripping like a faucet of red tomato sauce. It was... lasagna. A huge, really nice looking hunk of lasagna. She had captured and killed her finest acquisition to date. Far better than the bunnies, rabbits, birds, flies, stink-bugs, and all things wild -- Hope had assassinated a huge piece of lasagna.
I had no idea where she found it or where to begin to look for the possible mess she had probably created retrieving her kill but it was truly a good looking piece of lasagna. As I automatically wiped out her mouth with my hand, she stood no chance of retaining even a morsel with the adrenaline that was pumping back through me.
Into the house we went to the delight of all the other animals who sniffed her up and down for the whole story. With one more 'NO' for good measure I gave her "the look" (it always worked for my mother). She wagged her entire back side and with the biggest smile on her face, released two low grumbles chastising me for interfering once again with the mighty laws of nature.
Nobody was more sorry for the loss of the lasagna than Hope herself, who anxiously waited for it to re-appear. I was exhausted. The neighbors had once again witnessed the horror of my bedtime appearance and utterly ungraceful charge up and down the street.
Our journey will be a long one as I continue to work with Hope to find a balance within her boundaries of pure animal instinct and my human desire to domesticate her enough to keep her out of harm's way.
Hope has taught me more than any other dog that she is just that -- a 'dog'. That she is animal. Although at times, I'm quite certain that she is only one chromosome short of being able to talk.
She is one of the most loving, happy dogs I've ever been blessed to care for. She is full of endless cuddles, kisses and love. She thrives on affection and praise. And, she loves to learn. You can tell.
But, alas, Hope is a dog. And, she has come into my life to teach me just how amazing and acute animal instincts and behavior are and how they've helped this species evolve, adapt and survive in this convoluted world we humans have created.

The first thing that Miami Heat forward Shane Battier said on a conference call promoting the American Century Championship in July was: "It's a different conference call for me because I'm usually taking this conference call from the golf course, because I'm usually out of the playoffs by now."
Battier was in Indiana on Wednesday evening, prior to the Heat's game six against the Pacers. Miami won on Thursday 105-93, closing out the series and putting themselves in position for another shot at the NBA championship. Battier would like nothing more than to step onto the course at Edgewood Tahoe on July 17-22 as a first-time champion.
"There is very few places in the world as beautiful as Lake Tahoe, and it's my dream to go there as an NBA champion," he said. "I remember seeing Jason Kidd there last year as an NBA champion and just the smile on his face, you could tell it had been there for a few weeks ever since they had won the championship against the Miami Heat last year. I think that would be a huge thrill to go amongst the big boys, the stars of the stars, and be an NBA champion.
"At this point it's not about numbers, it's not about contracts. This is my eleventh year in the league. I have about two or three years left to play at this level, it's what I need and what I play for. It's something that I really, really want."
What did Battier say when he saw Kidd at the tourney last year?
"I didn't have to say anything, just the smile on his face and he said it was an unbelievable experience and he really couldn't put into words," Battier said. "It's something that I think all first-time champions go through; you don't really understand what being a champion is all about until you actually call yourself a champion, and I had that feeling back when I played at Duke in 2001 and I would like that feeling again as a member of the Miami Heat."
With a shortened season and packed schedule, Battier said his only golfing so far this year has consisted of hitting one bucket of balls.
"I'm behind in my golf preparation without a doubt, but that's not saying much because the baseline is low as it is," Battier said.
The NBA veteran admitted that he does not like to practice golf, but said there was some crossover between the two sports.
"When I step on the basketball court, I've trained over tens of thousands of hours for my job, it's what I do and I feel confident I can do that job well. Golf isn't something that comes natural to me. I don't like to practice. I love to play, I don't love to practice. So when I get out there I don't have the repetitions I have on the basketball court," Battier said. "I'm not gonna lie, the first time you step out on the first tee and you're overlooking the mountains and the lake, beautiful Lake Tahoe, you do get a little bit of sweaty palms and the knees to shake a bit.
"A lot of things resonate with me as a basketball player, because swings and basketball jump shots are very similar. They have to be in sync and they have to be fluid and they have to be performed without thinking about the actual mechanics. And that's what makes a pure golf swing and that's what makes a pure jump shot. Sometimes you can over-think a jump shot, just like you can over-think a golf swing."
Battier will join various other celebrities at Edgewood on July 17-22 for the ACC. Tickets are on sale online now and go on sale June 1 at Raley's, Bel Air and Nob Hill Foods. To purchase online, go to: southtahoe.activitytickets.com. Tickets will also be sold at the gate.

We're not 'mutts'
David Brooks' brain must be on vacation. As much as I enjoy reading his column, I must express my fervent disagreement with his choice of the word "mutt" to describe U.S. citizens in the future.
On the contrary, the United States could be the world's greatest alloy — harder to break, damage or melt — if we recognize the opportunity facing us in the brilliant guise of immigration reform.
Right now, "opportunity" herself is knocking loudly at the country's front door. She is standing on the welcome mat waiting for someone to open the door so she can clear the path for us to continue on in scientific innovation and economic success.
Standing politely behind her on the porch are biochemists from Mexico, surgeons from Turkey and entrepreneurs from China, who want to get up early, work hard, learn English and build a better life for their families. Are we just going to say "No, thanks. I'm good"? Just let the screen door slam shut? If we aren't creating new medicines with fewer side effects, designing safer, less invasive forms of surgery and coming up with crazily inventive renewable energy sources, are we lazing in the afternoon sun or leading the pack, to use Brooks' analogy?
Luckily for us, Lady Opportunity, is looking up and not down at the print on the mat that reads "Go away."

Island hopping
Where does Brian Hicks get off implying the city of Charleston is perfect? The city apparently does not even know the meaning of contiguous.
Daniel Island is in the city. How in the world did this happen? Daniel Island is in Berkeley County, and it is not contiguous to the city. Charleston had to jump a river to get this one.
If I remember correctly, this was handled on a Saturday, behind closed doors. Somehow the city can jump marshes, creeks and rivers to get anything it wants (this has been going on for a long time); however, when we try to do any of these things, the same rules don't apply. Tell supreme Joe Riley to leave us alone.
And Brian Hicks, stay in your city.

Poor service
SCE&G still can't seem to get it right on supplying power to parts of James Island. Power outages have occurred this week about 6:30 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. almost daily on Burnett Drive. I wonder how bad it will really get when a storm actually arrives?

Double standard
I don't understand all the commotion about Paula Deen and something she said 30 years ago. The late Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia was eulogized by President Obama. Sen. Byrd had not only been a member of the Ku Klux Klan but had recruited 150 members.
Some of the stores dumping Mrs. Deen are selling CDs by rap artists who use the word that she used long ago quite freely today.
It boggles the mind.

Veronica's feelings
In the legal battle over raising Veronica, the primary question should be, "What is best for Veronica?" In the final analysis it is about a child with feelings and an impressionable mind.
I can empathize with the Capobianocos. I have been raising a Native American child for 15 years. It would have been earth-shattering to have had to let her go. But, had she left me to live with her Kiowa/Apache family in Oklahoma, I now know that moving her again would not have been good for her.
What is best for Veronica, or any young child in foster care or up for adoption, is stability. Moving a child from one home to another is traumatic. Children can be left with unresolved issues that affect them as they become teens and begin life as an adult.
Between the ages of 3 and 4, my daughter went from living with her mother to living with a foster family to living with me in another state. It left a mark on her, but she was my sister's daughter, and I felt it important to keep her in the family. A few years after she came to live with me, I gave up the best job I ever had to avoid uprooting her again. Her needs were more important than my desires.
Today, my daughter is 19 and yearns to know about her Native American heritage. She knows nothing about that part of herself except what she picked up during a brief summer trip to visit her tribal museum and to at look the grave of Geronimo (who is, I am told, a blood relative).
I see a hole in her that needs to be filled with experiential knowledge of her heritage. One day, hopefully, she will fill it with memories of her now unknown family and tribe.

Friedman slighted
John McDermott's fine column about Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke in the June 30 Money & Jobs section unfortunately gives Dr. Bernanke a little too much credit regarding the Great Depression.
Mr. McDermott refers to Dr. Bernanke's "groundbreaking research on the Fed's role in causing and prolonging the Great Depression."
Please note that years earlier Milton Friedman (Nobel Laureate, 1976) and Anna Schwartz outlined the fed's errors in the Monetary History of the United States 1867-1960. Indeed, in a speech celebrating Dr. Friedman's 90th birthday, Dr. Bernanke referred to Friedman and Schwartz by saying, "You're right, we [the Fed] did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again."

Windows Phone 7 is shaping up to be
more memorable for the features
that it lacks rather than what new functionality that it brings
to the table. The latest feature to be dropped from Windows Phone 7's
spec sheet is tethering.
Some sites were reporting
earlier in the week that the mobile operating system would support tethering
due to comments made by Brandon Watson, Director of Windows Phone 7.
However, a Microsoft spokesman contacted
Boy Genius Report today to state that Watson was mistaken
and that "Windows Phone 7 does not support tethering."
Microsoft's next generation mobile
operating system, which recently
went RTM, also lacks copy/paste and third-party multitasking. Both were
features that Apple was long criticized for when the original iPhone
launched in 2007. It wasn't until 2009 that the iPhone received
copy/paste functionality, while full multitasking and tethering (in the U.S.) didn't
show up until this year.
Microsoft's first iteration of Windows
Phone 7 appears to be seriously
lacking when it comes to basic smartphone functionality, but
Microsoft still has time to add features at a later time. Microsoft
has stated in the past that it wanted to make sure that the initial
release of Windows Phone 7 was near perfect, and that things like
copy/paste and multitasking could wait until a later date (possibly v7.5).
However, Microsoft has stiff
competition in the smartphone market given dominate players like RIM,
Apple and Google. Apple's iPhone has taken a nice chunk out of
smartphone sales globally, and Google's Android operating system is
the sales charts in the United States -- Microsoft can't afford to be conservative this time around.
Despite Windows Phone 7's shortcomings and the presence of stiff competition, Microsoft has still boldly
predicted that its latest mobile OS will crush the competition. The
boys from Redmond held a mock
funeral for the iPhone and BlackBerry earlier this month complete
with caskets.
quote: Flash is horrendous on an iPhone
quote: Copy/paste - Easy enough to add. The iPhone didnt have it for ages and people still managed fine. Sure it will be added.
quote: Multitasking - It does multitask the important core apps and not everything needs it.
quote: Native code support is absent (for now) - Dont care its not an open os and they give you plenty of development tools.
quote: Tethering - Again most are locked from the carrier but unlocked through applications.
quote: No Skype (or any VoIP) - These are generally carrier reasons like iPhone denied it because AT&T wanted you to use your minutes. Take up the issue with the carrier. iPhone would prefer to sell devices and care less where you get your service from.
quote: Very limited VPN support - Can be resolved in an app but thsts more of a corporate request.

Hiring Resumes at FBI, Justice Department
The Federal Bureau of Investigation plans to hire roughly 1,000 people, after the Justice Department announced Monday the end of a three-year hiring freeze.
The thaw comes after the president signed into law a budget deal in late December that avoids the more severe reductions of a long-range budget-cutting program called sequestration.
The FBI hires will be steered toward jobs in national security, cybercrime, and violent crime, an official said.
Over the course of the hiring freeze, the Justice Department left a total of 4,000 positions unfilled. It's not clear exactly how many of those positions will be filled now that the freeze has ended.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced the end of the hiring freeze in a memorandum and video message to employees Monday.
"After years of doing more with less, we will begin to fill critical vacancies. And we will resume the normal hiring process for federal agents, prosecutors, analysts and the other staff we need to fulfill our mission," Mr. Holder said in the video.

Tip of the Week
Saying goodbye to summer doesn't have to be a sentimental ending when you consider it's also a beginning — the kick off to autumn and the holiday season. Now is a great time to dress up your home for fall entertaining.
"Colors that evoke a sense of nostalgia and family are a really big part of the visual design message for autumn 2013," says visual merchandiser John Griffith. "Reds, golds and oranges are trending this fall. These hues are not only warm and comforting; they're reflective of the season."
Griffith and teammate Julie Robbins add their own unique spin on the latest trends to create seasonal design vignettes for Replacements, Ltd., the world's largest retailer of old and new china, crystal, silver and collectibles. Easy ways to mix in great fall colors include adding a charger plate or colorful serving pieces.
"I'm big on the pressed vintage patterns; depression glass, coin glass and sandwich glass are all very lovely and nostalgic," Robbins says.
Metal serveware is another popular — and functional — trend this fall. Once heated, the alloy retains warmth to keep food warmer longer or cooler if you chill these pieces, Robbins says.
Using natural elements on the table also evoke a sense of Thanksgiving.
"I suggest filling vases, glasses or serving bowls with dried beans, acorns or even kernels of dried deer corn. Not only does this look pretty, you can also mix in candles or flowers and use these natural elements to hold those items in place," Robbins says.

During AIBD's First Tuesday @ 2:00 program (May 7, 2013) on how to register your architectural works and technical drawings using the U.S. Copyright Offices eCO online process, our moderator received many questions which went unanswered due to time constraints. Attorney Mitch Tuchman, who attended the presentation, reviewed each of the attendee's messages and found that a majority fell into clearly recognizable categories, including what should I register, why should I register, when should I register, what are the benefits and limitations of registration, and what value does an attorney bring to the registration process? Attendees also asked questions about sole and joint ownership of copyrights, works made for hire, and when are architectural plans or an architectural work deemed published? Courts weighing issues of infringement often remind us that copyright jurisprudence is fact-based. Copyright law is not a decision tree: if A, then B; if B, then C or D. The responses below reflect the circumstantial nature of copyright.
When you submit an application to the Copyright Office, you are not asking to register your work. You are asking to register your claim of copyright in the work. The information you include in your application serves to illustrate the scope of that claim.
You may register claims of copyright in architectural plans, on the one hand, and architectural works, on the other hand as long as the plans or works, as the case may be, are original. "Original" doesn't mean novel or unprecedented. It simply means not copied from someone else's plans or works. A modicum of creativity is also required.
Architectural plans are technical drawings. They may be fixed in a tangible or a machine-readable, intangible medium. The plans you deposit with your application constitute the sum total of the plans in which you claim copyright. The concept is straightforward.
Describing architectural works, by contrast, is anything but straightforward. Understanding what you may claim with respect to an architectural work requires close attention: an architectural work comprises "the overall form as well as the arrangement and composition of spaces and elements in the design, but does not include individual standard features." This definition of an architectural work, found in the Copyright Act at Section 101, shares a lot with the definition of a "compilation," found elsewhere in that Section. A compilation is formed by selecting, coordinating and arranging preexisting materials or data "in such a way that the resulting work as a whole constitutes an original work of authorship." An architectural work is much like a compilation. It may include both commonplace and unique elements, which are selected, coordinated and arranged by the designer so that as whole they form an original design even if many of the incorporated elements may be dictated by function or historical precedent. You've heard the phrase, the sum is greater than its parts: that describes an original architectural work. I recommend that you look at the Copyright Office circular on architectural works: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ41.pdf.
Copyright law provides the copyright owner with certain exclusive rights. Among them are the rights to reproduce the protected work in copies, to distribute copies, to display the work, to create derivative works and to authorize others to exercise these rights. (Note that I'm using the term "work" here in a generic sense, not in the sense of an architectural work per se.) Copyrights come into existence automatically when a architectural plan or architectural work is fixed in a tangible or machine-readable medium. Registering a claim of copyright in the Copyright Office is therefore not necessary for a copyright to exist. Enforcing any of the copyright owner's exclusive rights in federal court, however, does require a registration in most judicial circuits in the country. Some circuits are willing to proceed on the basis of a pending application rather than requiring a registration certificate. It is important for you to know which interpretation of the registration requirement prevails where you operate your business. (These rules also affect the ability of third parties to seek declaratory judgments that their activities are non-infringing, but that is a subject for another day.)
No rule governs when you must or should register your claim of copyright, if you elect to register it at all. Note, however, that registration prior to publication or at least no more than three months following publication may provide the copyright owner with an array of remedies not otherwise available to a successful litigant.
Benefits and Limitations
Some benefits of registration are discussed in the two preceding sections. The limitations may surprise you. Litigation for infringement is highly complex. It is not a matter of "This is mine, you stole it, I win." With respect to architectural plans, the exclusive rights of a copyright owner notwithstanding, a third party may construct a building based on those plans as long as they were lawfully obtained. Clearly there are inherent risks in disseminating plans in brochures and online. The limitations with respect to architectural works are stated in the law: "The work . . . does not include individual standard features." What constitutes standard features is frequently litigated. These may include structural features, conceptual features, adherence to historical styles or other styles currently in vogue, and so on. What is more the federal circuits differ in the way they construe this limitation. Again, it is important for you to know how courts where you operate your business construe these limitations.
What Value Does an Attorney Bring to the Registration Process?
Preparing an application to register a claim of copyright particularly in an architectural work should never be dismissed as an act requiring little forethought. Think of registration as preparation for litigation that you hope will never come. Think about what you might need in order to demonstrate the originality and creativity embodied in your architectural work. While you probably cannot predict the issues presented at trial, your attorney can at least assist you in preparing deposit materials that might conduce to a favorable judicial outcome given the law of the circuit where you operate your business.
Copyright Ownership
You may think of the author of an architectural plan or architectural work as a "he" or "she," but what if the author is an "it" instead—an entity rather than a person? When an employee, for instance, creates a protect-able plan or work, the employer, whether an individual or entity, is by law the author and initial owner of copyright. When an independent contractor creates a protect-able plan or work, he or she (or his or her employer) is the owner of copyright unless there is a written assignment of rights to the commissioning party. Standard AIA contractual terms notwithstanding, work-made-for-hire language in service contracts pertaining to architecture is likely unenforceable in the absence of an assignment in the alternative.
What about plans you create for you own company? Much may depend on how that company is set up. Consult your corporate attorney to determine whether, despite your ownership, you are an employee for purposes for work you create alone or together with your employees. Issues of liability and tax may be implicated. It is highly unlikely that the copyright in any resulting architectural plan or architectural work is jointly owned by you and your company. Similarly it is highly unlikely that you and your customer or you and your independent contractor are joint owners of copyright. I often think it is best for the parties to contracts to think about which party has the greater continuing need for the intellectual property. If the needs of a party, such as the owner of a home in a subdivision, are satisfied by a single iteration of the copyrighted work, that party does not need to own the rights. If a party's needs are likely to be continuing, that party does need to own the rights or to have a perpetual license to exercise the rights. Skillful contractual drafting is intended to satisfy the needs of all concerned. If you think of copyright ownership as your only guarantee of payment, you may be boxing yourself into something that is otherwise undesirable.
As Mr. Briganti made clear during the webinar, the Copyright Office cannot advise whether your architectural plans or architectural works have been published. The law speaks of publication as "the distribution of copies . . . of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending." The devil is in the details, and questions have arisen and been litigated in the context of submission of plans for permitting purposes, distribution of plans to contractors, and actual construction. Your attorney can advise you with respect to your special circumstances.

Tall Tales and the Silver Lining
Tall Tales and the Silver Lining is back with a six-pack of indie alt country on its newest release. The band and the album are the brainchildren of singer and versatile musician Trevor Beld Jimenez. This is just the first batch of songs Jimenez plans to release in 2014. Fans of Wilco, Brett Dennen, Jenny Lewis and Ryan Adams should add this record to their collection. This should come as no surprise as Neal Casal, formerly a member of Adams' backing band the Cardinals, adds guitar to "Always All the Time." The song features layers of guitars. The acoustic strumming, slow slide solo, jangly lead and bass come together into a single sound.
The country flavor continues on "Hide Your Love Away." The song puts Jimenez in the role of a happily infatuated lover: "You're all I've wanted, what's a boy supposed to do?" he asks plaintively. Jimenez takes the album and mood in the opposite direction on "So Stranded." The track features Jimenez on the piano slowing the album down. There is also an indie current mixing with a strong folk base on the album. The opener, "It Don't Worry Me," with a heavy hook and interweaving guitar chorus, sounds like it could've come out of New York City around 2000. Despite the mix of styles, the songs form a consistent sound that provides repeat enjoyment. — David Heldreth
B Willing James
Impossible Human
The Ventura County music scene is one that has of late been plagued by a dark cloud of drunken tribute acts, nardcore nostalgia, Tommy Bahama blues bands and "f . . . bitches get money"-mentality rappers. Impossible Human is that heavenly ray that slices through the fog bringing light back to the land. It leaves you with a million things to say, yet speechless. Ever since his band Shades of Day exploded onto the local scene, B Willing's songwriting has been refreshing and inspiring, and it has only grown over time. This, combined with Erin "Syd" Sidney's production, has bloomed into something unique and truly great. Impossible Human is, indeed, impossibly human, yet startlingly spiritual, and, dare I say, exactly what we need right now. Blending influences that stretch as far back as Woody Guthrie with moody Radioheadesque notes and lyricism that could rival Syd Barrett's, Impossible Human is strikingly original. And while it's delightful to listen to, somehow, through all the intricacies and nuances of B Willing's writing, Impossible Human still rocks! It is an album equally suitable for a road trip, a date or the drive home from a long day at work. Whatever the situation, this record will make you feel good. The first time I heard it, I struggled to find words to do it justice. What else really needs to be said? — Bennett Cornell
In his latest release, local hip-hop artist Spinz has managed to create an auditory incarnation of the phrase "violently mediocre." Now, don't take this the wrong way, it's a good album. It's not great, but it's something to download, listen to once, nod your head to, and then move on from because, as good as it is, there's absolutely nothing special about it. Despite the album's pre-millennial nomenclature, it almost serves as more of a mash-up of styles that dominated hip-hop in the early 2000s. That head-scratching "Where the hell have I heard this before?" feeling may present a frequent quandary during the listening process. You may find that it sounds as though Yelawolf put the brakes on his flow and started rapping over Flobot's instrumentals. You may in fact find that you've heard every drum sample and pattern used in the album a million times before, but you still like them. But what you very well may not find in 1992 is something that grips you by the throat and pulls you in deeper, something that makes you go, "Hey, maybe I'll show this to my homeboy tomorrow," or even something that truly sets it apart from the cesspool of half-assery that we so lovingly call 805 hip-hop. Judging by what appears to be a substantial budget for this record, it's a shame the lyrical content and songwriting aren't better. — Bennett Cornell
Energy is the current that flows through the self-titled album from Oxnard native Spartacus. The album blends reggae, funk, soul and rock in equal measures. The opener, "Please Don't Let it Get to Your Head," is the perfect signal of what to expect. The song opens smoothly, but quickly transitions as the guitar turns choppy and frantic. A driven bass line pushes the song along, building all the way to the end. The group slows it down and finds its reggae roots on "11." The song finds guitarist and singer Kris Simeon and bassist Phillip Federis alternating and blending lead and rhythm. Federis and Simeon have a give and take to their playing that makes you wonder what would happen if John Frusciante and Flea listened to more Bob Marley.
With Sean Simeon on drums, the trio forms a tight rhythmic core allowing for the seemingly fluid transition between tempos and styles. Each time the band hits a groove, it finds a way to pull you in another direction. "Ghosts in the Mirror" and "I Won't Be Alone" kick things up, while tracks like "Lonesome Holiday" feel like a slow, sunny Sunday. Simeon's guitar literally shimmers on the chorus of the latter song. In the end, "Sober" solidly anchors the album with a sing-along closer. — David Heldreth

Faced with dwindling enrollment and state funding, Grass Valley School District's Board of Trustees voted late Tuesday to not renew an interdistrict transfer agreement with Union Hill School District.
Superintendent Eric Fredrickson said in each grade an average of 35 students who live in the Grass Valley School District are attending Union Hill School under the agreement.
"Primarily it's financial," Fredrickson said of the decision. "We lose revenue for each one of those students, at about $5,000 per student.
"But is it all about dollars? That (loss of funding) transfers into program. We have a lot of programs we want to do, but don't have the money because we're losing enrollment."
With a total of 292 students on interdistrict transfer at Union Hill, Grass Valley School District potentially loses up to $1.4 million in the current school year's revenue limit per student, according to Fredrickson.
Fredrickson said the board voted to allow students currently enrolled in grades K-7 to continue through eighth grade at Union Hill, a one-school district just east of Grass Valley on Highway 174. Also, younger siblings of those students who enroll within the next two years will also be allowed to attend.
Two other options considered were allowing only current seventh-grade students to complete their final year at Union Hill or grandfathering only current K-7 students enrolled through their eighth-grade year.
Fredrickson found himself in an odd situation over the issue, as he had previously served as principal at Union Hill School when the agreement was made between the district superintendents and board. He also served as superintendent for two years at Union Hill prior to coming to Grass Valley.
"When I was there I was doing everything I can to support (Union Hill)," he said. "Now I'm putting the same energy in here that I did there.
"That's why this was so hard."
Going forward, Fredrickson said he and other superintendents must search all avenues for additional revenue along with opportunity to cut expenses. That includes consolidation of schools, he said, on which the County Superintendent of Schools recently conducted a study.
He considers himself a proponent of consolidation to the point of taking discussion "to the next level of study we need to do on the overall impact on program. If it generated more revenue for the school district and made us run more efficiently, I'm for it."
Another recent decision Fredrickson has made will bring both Scotten Elementary and Lyman Gilmore Middle schools under the leadership of one principal. With Gilmore Principal Brian Buckley retiring this spring, Fredrickson has appointed Scotten Principal John Baggett to serve as principal and director of educational program for the two campuses that sit adjacent on Gilmore Way.
Fredrickson announced that Hennessey Elementary School has received a $289,000 grant to fund a science and technology academy at its South Auburn Street site. The competitive grant was issued to 20 school districts around the state, Fredrickson said.
The new program, which is in its early stages of development, gives Grass Valley School District parents another option to consider.
"Parents are looking for options," he said. "You can still have a traditional school feel and setting, but you've got to offer something unique in addition to offering a good quality program and education."

Alexa Vega says she's finally found a man who doesn't make her compromise her standards – her fiancé, Big Time Rush singer Carlos Pena.
"I've been through a marriage and I'm still very fond of my ex-husband, but if I've learned anything it's that relationships are about compromise," Vega, 25, tells PEOPLE, whose two-year marriage to producer Sean Covel ended in 2012.
"But there are compromises like where you want to eat, what color you want to paint the wall ... but not who you are as a person," she adds. "Never compromise yourself."
The Machete Kills star revealed her engagement on Instagram by posting a shirtless photo of Pena, 24, with the caption "Hello fiancé."
"He's pretty incredible that one," she says. "I've never met anybody who is as driven and as motivated and inspires me as much as Carlos does."
Still, the actress jokes that on paper, Pena was completely wrong for her.
"When I met Carlos, I had never dated a Latin guy ... I don't know if it's because all of my family is like a Latin crazy family, but I've only dated tall, lanky white guys – everybody has been over 6-foot-3 and white," she says.
"Meanwhile, Carlos is 5-foot-7, very Latin and he's an actor and I always said no actors – so, he was everything I wasn't looking for, but everything I needed," she says. "He is truly incredible!"
Vega says she hasn't even begun to plan her wedding.
"We haven't done anything," but she reveals that she and her new beau are "in the middle of moving into a new home" and "just trying to enjoy the engagement in between work."

SALEM- Salem Public Library patrons can expect some big changes to the atrium, entranceway and children's department this spring as the building expands for the first time since 1984.
"We're trying to maximize the space for the public," Library Director Brad Stephens said.
Once the ground thaws adequately this spring, he said the project will begin. Construction is expected to take four months, with the library remaining open and some of the work done during off hours to have as little impact on the public as possible.

Salem Public Library Director Brad Stephens looks over the plans for the library's first major renovation since 1984, set to begin this spring. Plans call for extending the south wall and closing the atrium opening between the two floors to increase space for patrons. A section of the lobby area will be sealed off to create a vestibule at the east side main entrance. (Salem News photo by Mary Ann Greier)
Shown are plans for the announced Salem Public Library detailing the current lower level and renovations forthcoming. (Submitted material)
At some point, they'll move the children's department into the Quaker meeting room, since a lot of the work will be concentrated in the children's area.
"'We're not building a massive new building - we can move the wall out 4 feet and gain over 1,000 square feet of usable floor space for the public," Stephens said.
The wall is located on the south side of the building covered in glass on both levels with an open atrium between the two floors. The atrium will be closed off as a means to increase the floor space on both levels and provide more noise control.
In the lobby area at the east entrance, plans call for improved lighting, installation of lobby seating and replacement of the exterior lobby doors with automatic entrance doors to improve accessibility. A glass wall will be installed from floor to ceiling, extending to the upper level, to create a vestibule, with sliding glass doors to enter. Stephens said that will improve the efficiency of the heating and cooling systems and help to better control noise levels throughout the building.
The bulk of the work will be in the children's area where he said they'll be "replacing the carpet and lighting, adding lots of new technology, rearranging the department layout to be more efficient, converting two small bathrooms into one larger family bathroom, adding a study room, and more than doubling the size of our early literacy area."
The library received a $10,000 grant from the Salem Community Foundation to add two more early literacy work stations, purchase four iPads and add a large screen television to project images from the iPads, all to benefit the library's younger users.
Stephens said it's important for the children to have exposure to reading and literacy, with the early literacy work stations focused on toddlers and children in kindergarten and first grade. The area for the older children, grades second through sixth, will be redesigned with the technology in mind and make materials more accessible.
On the upper level, the floor space will be increased by closing the atrium, but plans still call for lots of glass to let in the sun.
"We're still going to have lots of that natural light, but we're going to be able to do it in a much more efficient way," he said.
The project has been in the planning stages for a year. The existing Carnegie library was built in 1905 and first expanded in 1933, with a major expansion in 1984. He said some internal design work has been done since then to create the non-print and young adult spaces, but there have been no major renovations.
"Our mission to educate, inform and inspire our community is at the core of what we do and in large part, that's why the updates we're making are so necessary," he said.
By investing in the facility, they'll be able to continue meeting the changing needs of the public. This project will allow the library to use the space more efficiently and modernize it so it's ready for the next 100 years, Stephens said.
HBM Architects of Cleveland designed the expansion project. J. Herbert Construction of Salem is the general contractor. The estimated cost of the project is $480,000, paid for with money set aside for building maintenance and upkeep and capital improvements. Information about the project can be found on the library's web site.

Look for Malia Obama's name in future film and TV credits.
The first daughter tried out a day in the life of a TV production assistant on the Los Angeles set of Halle Berry's new CBS sci-fi thriller Extant, produced by Steven Spielberg.
"She helped with computer shop alignments and the director also let her slate a take," an insider told The Wrap.
The source also quoted Obama, 15, as commenting on the experience, "My first time. This is a big deal!"
The White House did not dispute the report, but declined to elaborate. President Obama told PEOPLE in 2012 that his eldest daughter had expressed some interest in filmmaking.
"Just like her father, she is an avid reader, and she enjoys movies. But she's a freshman, so she also knows she has years in college to explore her interest," her mom Michelle Obama added.

When traveling in Ireland, a little bit of local knowledge goes a long way. But remember - if you really want to fit in with the locals, you might want to avoid expressions like "vacationing" - use "going on holiday" instead.
You might also want to include the expression, "Where are yar' lucky charms?" in as many conversations as possible - the Irish will surely love you for that.
Don't go onto the roundabout (traffic circle) the wrong way round. The rule is you enter to your left, and give way to traffic from your right. And it's petrol, not gas.
Not going to Northern Ireland
There's really no excuse not to go to Northern Ireland. Even if you only have a few days, it's still worth a visit, and Belfast is only a little over two hours away from Dublin by train. Derry (also called Londonderry) is worth checking out – especially at Halloween, when the entire city dresses up in costume.
Visiting Dublin – and only drinking in Temple Bar
Temple Bar is Dublin's cultural center just south of the River Liffey. It has plenty of museums, stores, bars and restaurants. But all this is best left for the day time. At night, it becomes considerably less attractive. If you are looking for a good night out, try any number of the bars along Camden Street. George's Street and Wexford Street.
Not going to a hurling or Gaelic football match
Hurling is sometimes described as a cross between lacrosse and hockey, but that doesn't really do it any justice because it is unlike any other sport in the world. It's well worth going to see a game – and the same goes for Gaelic football, which looks like a cross between soccer and rugby. The best time to see these games is during the summer when the season's just getting going. It gets increasingly difficult to get tickets towards the end of the season. Dublin's Croke Park, the main GAA stadium is Ireland, includes a museum that explains the evolution of Ireland's native sports.
Forgetting to claim your tax back
Taxes are generally already added into the cost of most goods and services in Ireland. As a tourist, you are eligible to reclaim this tax back at the airport – just remember to keep your receipts.
