This is a group for anyone interested in quilting or machine sewed crafts. I call us 'Guilty' because sometimes we love our crafts more than anything else (I know you!!). I'm starting the group because I'd like to meet others that are interested in informal fun gatherings where we all bring our machines and ideas and work on our own project (or just play and share techniques and ideas). Fabric swaps and some joint charity quilts are also in my plans. I thought we could also share food and drink, …
For all levels of sewers, we meet once a month in the north area plus we have member get togethers through out the year. We've done the YSL Retrospective at DAM, and have a very popular Meet the Designer series, do charitable sewing and so much more. So no matter what your skill level is if you like to sew and meet fun people this could be the group for you.

Racine middle school locked down following report of gun near school
RACINE- A report of someone with a gun near McKinley Middle School prompted a lockdown for about 20 minutes Wednesday afternoon.
"We had a student that had looked out the window of the school and had believed they saw someone outside the building that may have had something in their hand that looked like a weapon," says Stacy Tapp with the Racine Unified School District.
Tapp says students were told to stay in their classrooms as police investigated.
Authorities canvassed the area and didn't find anything.
"We're hoping that it was better safe than sorry, we took the right precautions," says Tapp.

WOODBRIDGE, N.J. -- Reflecting the first moves by its new top executive, Pathmark here said last week it plans a "significant" downsizing and restructuring effort early in 1997.
ownsizing will involve personnel cutbacks at the company's administrative level. The restructuring will entail finding new ways for store personnel to do existing jobs, partly by interacting more with customers. Store-level personnel are unlikely to lose their jobs.
He said the chain has not yet decided how many office-level positions might be eliminated.
However, local observers said cutbacks are likely to affect 20% to 25% of office- and administrative-level personnel. SN was unable to determine how many of the company's 30,000 employees work at those levels.
Gutman said Pathmark will close a leased facility in Carteret, N.J., and move the accounting personnel housed there to its main offices here.

Expedia made me wait almost a year to get a refund for my dead daughter's flight
By Tara Evans
In November 2010 Vince Holley booked a dream trip through Expedia to New York and Boston for his wife, Bridget and their three daughters.
Tragically just four months later, after a brief illness, his 12-year-old daughter Emily died, before the family could take the trip.
Even those familiar with some of the worst of British customer service would be unlikely to imagine that it would take nearly a year, and an intervention from This is Money, to get a refund for her ticket.
Utterly disgusting: Expedia left one reader waiting nearly a year to refund the cost of the flight when his daughter died.
The devastated father, now 44, called the Expedia support team shortly after his daughter's
death to ask for a refund for her flight.
Not only did Expedia fail to deliver this refund within the stated two weeks and leave Vince to make countless phone calls, but he was still chasing the money when the date of the flights arrived and the family decided to make their trip to America.
When they did finally offer a refund it wasn't for the full amount.
Vince, of Billericay in Essex, said: 'The most galling thing was to see the seat, not being refunded, actually being used during the flight by someone else.'
'I have wasted time and money chasing my refund, not to mention the emotional angst caused by constantly having to rake over the fact my daughter has died.'
Expedia says that its refund process takes between 2-12 weeks but,like Vince, readers have emailed This is Money to complain that it often takes far longer. [Read the full article]
In the Holley family's case, the bungling customer service began before the trip and continued long afterwards.
Vince, who is a business planning manager for a bank, said: 'I was asked to send an email
confirming the fact, providing contact details and a scan of Emily's death certificate, which I did immediately that night.'
'I called back once the mail had been sent and was told that it would take two weeks to process the refund.'
Vince called back on the 30 March to
inquire about the refund as was told that he would hear something in the
next 24 hours. But he did not.
He made another phone call on 3 April and was promised an email confirmation within five minutes, but again he heard nothing.
first time I was on hold for so long my telephone supplier cut the call
off. The second time was on hold for 90 minutes only to be told it
would be another 24 hours,' said Vince.
then turned to email and received response saying that Expedia had
contacted the airline and was waiting for a refund from it before
processing his.
Excuses: Expedia says that it has to wait for the refund from the airline before it can process it back to the customer
But despite contacting the holiday firm on a number of occasions, nearly a year later Vince was still waiting for a refund. When he still had heard nothing from the firm he emailed This is Money to see if we could help.
It was only when This is Money contacted Expedia that a refund was processed. This finally arrived just under a year after Vince had started to try and get his money back.
Out of a dozen reader emails that we sent over to Expedia regarding delays this was the most extreme.
An Expedia spokesman said: 'We deeply regret the delay Mr Holley has experienced in receiving a refund for airline tickets - particularly at such a distressing time.
'Unfortunately, our customer service agent made a mistake in the advice they offered about the airline's refund policy. We sincerely apologise for this mistake have now offered a full refund.
'We sincerely apologise for the delay in our response and the subsequent refund process and we are addressing the problems Mr Holley had contacting our customer services team directly with the team. We can confirm that this payment has now been processed and Mr Holley has been fully refunded.'
Airline: 'Our refund process for agents is swift'
When This is Money quizzed Expedia on the delayed refund, it pointed towards the time it takes for it to get money back from airlines as one potential cause of problems.
The airline which the flight was booked through was British Airways, it said that usually refunds will be processed via an agent – like Expedia – very quickly. A BA spokesman said: 'As you're probably aware, when customers book through a travel agent, rather than directly with us, they have to go back to their agent for refunds.
'I can't speak about this specific case, but in general, travel agents have accounts with us. In the event that a customer asks for a refund, the travel agent would normally reimburse the passenger directly with any monies they are required to provide.
'The agent would apply to British Airways for a refund through an automated process, and the amount refundable would automatically be returned to the agent's account. This usually happens very quickly.'
However, despite this intervention Expedia didn't refund Vince the entire amount. In fact it refunded you £545.50 not the £638, adding insult to their previous mistakes.
Expedia confirmed that the this amount was the Air Passenger Tax paid on the flight. This amount Vince paid upon booking, but it is not collected by the taxman from the airline until you actually fly.
Since the flight was not used Expedia should have paid this amount back to Vince. It admitted its error and confirmed to that it would refund him the remaining amount.
It has not offered any compensation.
Vince told This is Money: 'Thanks again for your help. I am absolutely sure we would have not had a refund if you hadn't been involved.'

Sudan, South Sudan Mediation Stalled
With defense ministers from each nation leading their delegation earlier in June, the efforts did not establish agreement on a security line for the Safe Demilitarized Border Zone (SDBZ). In fact, both nations and the African Union mediation team put three different maps on the negotiation table.
With disagreement rampant on the border dispute, Pagan Amum, the South Sudanese lead negotiator told reporters that the two nations agreed to maintain a positive tone that prevailed in the round. The next round hopes to resolve all outstanding issues between the nations, according to negotiator Amum.
Those outstanding issues include: border demarcation, the Abyei Area, and oil transportation fees. The Abyei Area is approximately a four thousand (4,000) square mile area in Sudan granted "special administrative status" by the 2004 Protocol on the Resolution of the Abyei Conflict in the peace agreement that ended the Second Sudanese War.
The need is urgent for the parties to speed up the negotiation process in order implement peace road-map which sets August 2, 2012 as the deadline for end of mediation.
The African Union mediation team said the talks will resume on July 5th so that the delegations can consult with the presidents of each nation, Salva Kiir Mayardit and Omar Al-Bashir.

An introduction into the Xbase++ language and how it supports the PostgreSQL
server on the Client and Server side. The first part of this talk is intended
for programmers which have Xbase++, Clipper, FoxPro, Visual FoxPro or dbase
applications in the field and want to migrate them to a Client/Server technology.
In the second part the integration of Xbase++ as a new language for stored procedures
of the PostgreSQL server is outlined.
PDF Document, English version
This Powerpoint presentation introduces the different technologies which
make up "Arctica".
Powerpoint-Show, English version (Office 2007)
Powerpoint-Show, English version (Office 2003)
Universal SQL executes the SQL statement on the client side. Pass-Through SQL takes your SQL statement, rewrites the SQL and executes the statement on the server side.
Yes it does. The point is that Universal SQL is integrated into the Xbase++ runtime as a first class language feature. This leads to the situation where every data source accessible by Xbase++ today - if it is through a DatabaseEngine, ActiveX Objects/ADO or your own classes - can be a part of a Universal SQL statement. You can even mix different data sources inside a single SELECT statement. For example, it is possible to perform an SQL query against work areas used by FOXCDX or DELDBE, an ADS remote table and an ODBC connection simultanously.
We plan to provide native Pass-Through SQL-support for the PostgreSQL server and the ADS Database Server.
First of all, you need to have your application migrated to Xbase++. After having mastered this step, it is just a matter of adding one line of code, namely the code to establish the connection to the PostgreSQL server! Anything else, indexes, UDFs, filters and your navigational operations are automatically transformed into SQL statements, and behave exactly as before. Of course, the same is true for DBFNTX, COMIX or SIX tables and indexes.
Of course we will.
By default, the PostgreSQL DatabaseEngine handles all data in UTF8 (Unicode) format. This allows the transparent support of OEM, ANSI and Unicode charsets.
Well, the PostgreSQL server is the only SQL 92/99-compliant DBMS which features a rules system, user-defined datatypes/operators, and allows the integration of other server-side languages. These outstanding features of the PostgreSQL DBMS have their roots in research projects related to active database systems, which disembogued into the PostgreSQL DBMS. PostgreSQL simply goes beyond traditional SQL.
Definitively yes. PostgreSQL not only guarantees the four ACID properties (Atomicity, Concurrency, Isolation and Durability) required for reliable transaction-processing, but it is also a SQL DBMS which implements updates via a MVCC mechanism (multiversion concurrency control). This way, read and write operations can take place simultanously. That's a crucial feature especially for xBase developers, who traditionally have been able to read a record while it was locked and being updated. Furthermore, PostgreSQL is an Enterprise Scale SQL DBMS widely used by large corporations.
Yes of course. The PostgreSQL full-text search feature including result ranking is fully supported. In addition, the PostgreSQL spatial data types will be natively supported by Xbase++. Queries such as "show me all customers located 100 miles around NYC" will become possible.
A basic introduction of the PostgreSQL server can be found here. An outline of the PostgreSQL advantages including a brief overview over its technical features is here. The online documenation of the recent Version 8.3 can be found here.
Not at all, the opposite is true! Specifically the Windows Server 2008 and Vista platforms provide great opportunities to move the flat file dbf/cdx approach to a level of reliability only achieved in the past by a database server.
Because we are currently talking about pre-release software, there is no pricing fixed yet. However, the PostgreSQL server in itself is free of charge as it is licensed under a BSD License. We plan to include the PostgreSQL DatabaseEngine in the Professional Subscription. Exact licensing modalities for this technology have not been fixed yet. However, we are not considering to employ a client-based licensing model.
Alaska Software is a technology driven company. In various areas we are moving beyond the current state of technology. Therefore, we won't give any release date yet. Since "Arctica" is a set of technologies, different features will be made available in a staged step-by-step manner. Shortly after the PostgreSQL Conference 2008 and the release of SL1, we plan to have a community technology preview of the Pass-Through SQL feature for the PostgreSQL DBMS and the ADS Database Server. A community preview of the xBase migration feature for the PostgreSQL DBMS will follow suit.
The Alaska Software mascot since more than 10 years is the polar bear so Arctica was a natural choice. It's where polar bears live, after all!

Going to Nationals!

Stationary Biking - easy spin at zone 1.. avg HR 93, max 103
Yoga - Flexible Warrior 1 DVD, Flexibility part
Recovery day today, though gotta ya folks...this is the BEST I've EVER felt 2 days after a Half Ironman! I mean usually I'm hobbling around due to the delayed onset soreness in my muscles. My quads are just a bit sore this time.
So, today I decided just to do an easy spin in zone 1 on a stationary bike at the gym for 40 min. Then when I got home, decided I should probably do the Flexible portion of the yoga DVD I have that's specifically for cyclists/triathletes. That felt pretty good, long time since I've done it.
Tomorrow, though it will be chilly in the morning, I'll probably swim and then a short, easy run at Ft D.
Thursday, maybe a ride in the valley after work
Friday, easy perimeter run around Ft D if I feel up to it.
Now Saturday, I've been invited on a self-supported century+ ride that I've done twice north of Frederick into PA and back.
Not sure about Sunday yet. I'd like to do a longer run but will see how my legs feel.
Have to start mapping out my strategy for Savageman. I see a good amount of hill training and perhaps a good amount of leg strength training in my future.
June 13
Rest day today after Eagleman. I had gotten a sports migraine last night and took meds. Felt better in the morning. Other than that, really don't feel bad. A bit of soreness in the legs which is expected. Will see about tomorrow how I feel as the 2-day rule goes into affect. Think I may sit in the jacuzzi and soak a bit. Now I may take another day off, but might go to the gym tomorrow for some light aerobic machine work to keep the muscles active.
Eagleman 2011 Race Report has been posted.
Decide about the rest of the week tomorrow.
June 12
Eagleman swim course
Eagleman Bike
Eagleman run
I will post more tomorrow but wanted to let folks that follow know that I CRUSHED my old HIM best time of 5h 43m and also my time on this course today! New HIM PR! Time - 5h 25m 41s! Best time I did at Eagleman previously was 6h 01s. Again, more tomorrow and later this week I'll post my race report.
June 11
Well, if everything goes okay, I should be racing in my 4th Half Ironman event in a little under 24 hours. Supposed to storm overnight. Hope we don't have runoff issues but I think the Choptank is big enough that shouldn't be a problem.
Wish me luck!!
June 10
Cleaned bike and packed bags. Heading off to race site in the morning with club member George who's also racing. Only a couple of concerns: Naturally, the heat and humidity. Considering I've been acclimating myself and training in the heat, hopefully I've done enough to deal with it on the course. There will also be aid stations to help here where there weren't any during training. And of course, my body couldn't be completely healthy as I have a bit of sciatica down my left leg. Really the result of an old disc injury. If the muscles get aggrevated, I still get a bit. Doesn't seem to affect my run, though, but my left calf is spasming every now and then. Lastly, the ghost of 2009 is nagging me a bit. But, I think my training will help overcome that and put it to rest. Lessons have been learned and I'll be using them.
Overall goal is to enjoy the race and finish. If I can finish the course in less than 6 hours, I'll be satisfied. My ultimate goal is to finish less than Musselman's time, which will be a HIM distance PR. Will see if I can hold it together on the run despite the weather. My run has been quite strong this entire Spring, so I hope all the training will come though.
Wish me luck and race report afterwards.
P.S. I'm also hoping to get a pic with Craig Alexander! That WILL be posted if I get one!
June 9
out and back on route 17
Around Middletown
Last workout before Eagleman. And I SURE am glad the race isn't today! Mid-90s with humidity!! Whew! The sweat was definitely dripping. I was going to go on Route 67 but I was thinking I didn't want to run there. So, I just did 17 on my tri bike first though it's a bit more hilly. Not a bad time for me for the short distance on 17. Then I ran in the neighborhood for just over 30 min. The out part had a slight uphill for a good distance so got the heart rate up. The max was at the last part uphill.
Well, hopefully not as hot during the race and I can do this well after 56 miles.
Might say something tomorrow just for an assesment.
Next 2 days are off though I might do yoga/stretching tomorrow.
Sat is at Race site and Sunday is RACE!
June 8
4 x 396 meters RI 1:00
c/d breast stroke
Around Ft D
As I have evening plans, decided to basically repeat last Wed workout at Ft. This time, broke up the swim into four near 400s with a minute rest interval and then cooled down with a couple of laps. The pace time reflects the RI as well and taking those out puts me at a 1:48 pace. That would be great if I could maintain that without a wetsuit at Eman! But, I know that sighting plus having to pause a bit and not being able to go straight without the black line will probably cut down on that avg pace. Still, let's hope. Just gotta remember not to go out too fast and the get into the rhythm.
Then a shorter run around Ft D. Not a bad pace either. Getting hot and full sun out this morning. Temp around 80. Felt good though and hope I feel just as good after 56 miles on the bike!
Tomorrow, short brick of 10 miles bike and 3 miles run on route 67. Last real workout before the race.

A Quick Hit of Jane
With a new book out and ready for her own 'third act,' Fonda talks politics, aging, romance—and the joy of sex after 70.
As celebrity social crusaders go, it doesn't get any more vivid than Jane Fonda. She has spent her life raising a glamorous fist: against the Vietnam War and armed conflicts abroad, for women's rights. She even pumped up the plump with her exercise tapes.
Now, at 73, she is on a new tear: campaigning for sex, hormone replacement, seated tricep lifts, Zen—anything that will help those 60 and beyond live the good life.
Her new book, Prime Time, is about what she calls her third—and final—act. Filled with snippets of research gleaned from experts, poignant recollections from her past, and instructions on everything from masturbation to the Monte Carlo financial-modeling system, it is, she says, her gift to the generation that has stuck with her, in all her incarnations, through half a century.
"I feel like I need to be there for them," she says, as we speed through the city in the back seat of a black Escalade headed for Newark Airport after a three-day media tour of New York that included appearances on Charlie Rose and Live With Regis and Kelly. She travels alone without diva trappings; no assistant, no hair and makeup people, no lap dog. Just a couple of carry-ons and a garment bag. "We're the first generation to be in this situation, to be aging but also to be active and really alive. There just aren't any road maps. It's terrifying."
Posture perfect, her manicured hands in a constant state of motion in tandem with her whiskied voice, Fonda doesn't look terrified. In fact, in a form-fitting green pullover (lots of cleavage), tailored khaki carpenter's pants, and loafers, she looks as she always has: ready for anything and about to bubble over with passionate asides and unbridled wonder. In its September issue, Harper's Bazaar features her in profile in a tight black dress with illusion lace down the sides, no undergarments; her head is tossed back mid-laugh, her hand on her hip.
"I think it's important for everyone to know that people in their 70s can be sexually attractive and sexually active," she says. "They don't have to be, of course, and lots of people have opted out of that, but they can be. I can be. I mean, I am." As usual, she isn't much for self-censoring. Such candor, along with her fiery liberal politics, has often gotten her in trouble, from her perceived antipathy for veterans during the Vietnam War to the 2009 contretemps regarding a letter she signed in protest of the Toronto Film Festival premiere of 10 films about Tel Aviv. "I feel like my honesty gives people the freedom to talk about things they wouldn't otherwise."
She is quick to sound off about the current political landscape at home: "I don't know why Obama can't seem to make people understand that the rich, especially the super-rich, have to be taxed more. And I count myself in that. I mean, I'm not super-rich, but I know them, and plenty of them think so, too. You can't have a stable country when there is this much disparity between the rich and poor. He has to be tougher."
As for women's rights, she feels we've come a long way, but not far enough. "Consider that there is only one woman so far on the new 12-person 'supercommittee' to deal with the deficit. They're all white males. What does that say?"
Is there anything Fonda won't talk about? "I try not to talk about my children [her daughter, Vanessa, by French film director Roger Vadim, and her son, Troy, by California politician Tom Hayden], because they don't like it. And I've never talked about my sex life with Ted." That's Ted Turner, the media impresario to whom she was married for most of the 1990s. "I mean, at least I haven't talked about the specifics."
Prime Time took her four years to complete. She started it soon after she published her chart-topping confessional 2005 memoir, My Life So Far. Fonda traveled widely to interview scientists and regular folks about the vagaries of getting older. She did most of the writing on her 2,500-acre ranch on a river near Santa Fe (a "divorce gift" from Turner) and at the home she shares in the Hollywood Hills with Richard Perry, 69, a music producer whom she started dating two years ago. Perry has been in the house since the 1980s; it's hard to imagine other icons of her era (Liza, Liz, Barbra) just picking up and moving their things in with a new boyfriend (she eschews "partner" as too "businessy") as they entered their 70s, but Fonda concedes, with a hint of embarrassment, that she is "very flexible."
"I've been accused of being too flexible, too willing to mold myself to men, and that's something I'm constantly working on," she adds. She and Perry have virtually nothing in common, she confesses—"he doesn't read at all, and he only thinks about music and love"—but for now, things seem to be working. "I'm less needy for outside validation than I once was; I don't need the man I'm with to be a certain way to impress my friends. He's comfortable and safe, a cozy old shoe. And kind." The two try to swing-dance for 20 minutes each night.
Fonda has always spoken openly, regretfully, about her obsession with thinness and her looks, but she says that despite the ravages of time, she has never been happier. She got some new cosmetic surgery a few years ago ("I'm not proud of feeling like I needed it"), but, she says, the real change has been internal. "That transitional stage of the late 40s and early 50s, that was really hard, but now I finally feel like I'm really becoming myself."
The process began in earnest, she says, just before she turned 60, when she made a video about her life for her birthday party. Assembling the footage and examining the past was what led her to dissolve her marriage to Turner. The lure of private jets and the 23 ranches and estates waned over the course of their time together, she says, and catering to the needs of an eccentric, globe-trotting billionaire became enervating. "I realized I wanted to change the terms of my marriage. Ted just wasn't interested in that."
She says she doesn't miss the fast life, though her current existence still seems accelerated by mortal standards. She became a fervent Christian in 2001 (she enrolled in the largest seminary for black clergy while she lived in Atlanta), and recently she's thrown herself into Zen meditation. Forty-three-year-old Vanessa, a documentary maker, has two young children with whom Fonda tries to spend a lot of time; she descends upon them each Easter in a full-dress bunny costume. (Troy, in his late 30s, is married with no kids.) To help with writer's block during those weeks alone on the ranch, she pulls out a chain saw to level brush or builds rock walls. "I find that arduous physical labor can jump-start my thought process," she says. Among the only concessions she's made to age have been to quit hormone-replacement therapy since she had a benign breast tumor and to stop running; she has had hip and knee-replacement surgery. "I don't leap from vehicles anymore."
While she still considers herself primarily an activist, Fonda's third act will be more personal than political, more about home and the heart than about actively opposing wars abroad, she says. Aware that time catches up even with those who have done all they can to cheat it, she plans more explicitly for the future. The next few years include three new books, this time aimed at teenagers and their families as a tie-in to her charitable foundation, the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention.
And then there is the upcoming television series she won't talk about yet. Getting back into the business she left when she married Turner is a priority, one of the reasons she has come back to L.A. "I really want to work again," she says, recalling rapturously her 2009 stint on Broadway after 46 years away, in Moisés Kaufman's 33 Variations (the critics were not as enthralled).
"It's hard for women at my age in Hollywood, but I'm not discouraged," she says as we reach her departure gate. At the back of the Escalade, she shifts some clothes from one bag to another and hoists the luggage down. Her publicist insists they wait for the VIP escort; Fonda shrugs, ready to roll alone.
"I know what I want from my third act," she says, running a hand through her streaked hair and slipping on sunglasses to protect herself from the glare of the airport lighting and, perhaps, recognition. "I've already done a lot of what I want to do, and finally, after all this time, I know where I'm headed."
And with the sound of wheels on the pavement, she's gone.

With a Tangled Skein
My library, and the branch campus where I work, is quite small and in a very rural part of Alabama. We have about 250 students right now, though enrollment doubled since we opened the new building and we expect it to keep growing. I've been quite busy the last few weeks with a new and rather odd trend, and I'm wondering if it's demographically based or perhaps caused by a wierd atmospheric disturbance. Students are coming to me to ask how to do assignments for other instructors. I've gotten used to teaching basic computer literacy, "This is a mouse" or "this is how you print," or "this is how you make Powerpoint print slides with six on a page." We are heavily invested in technology, and almost every class requires the students to do some work within our WebCT/Blackboard framework. So of course I'm also answering a LOT of questions about how to attach documents and how to use the email system, but I expect that. Recently, though, the threads of my library life have become a bit more knotty as it appears students are thinking I am nearly all-knowing. Heh.
Two weeks ago I had a student come in and ask "I have this assignment due, can you tell me what I'm supposed to do?" I said sure, assuming it was a research assignment and that she needed help with getting started. Nope. It was a math assignment. And it wasn't that she didn't know how to print it out, or save it to her jump drive. She wanted me to tell her how to do the math problems. I was an English major in college and math is not so much my strong suit! I recommended that she see her instructor.  She hemmed and hawed as though she thought I was holding back on her. She was one of the students that I'd helped quite a bit with WebCT and Office 2007, so I suppose I can see why she thought I could be of assistance. Finally I explained that while I was quite capable as a librarian, her needs were of the kind that really should be addressed by her instructor. She left, somewhat disgruntled, with a promise to me that she would talk to her teacher.
A few days later, I had a student ask me how to do a sociology assignment. Not research, but answering technical questions about scatterplots and outliers. ::she shivers:: Nursing students and bone structure, elementary education students and D'Nealian handwriting. It keeps happening! Today was the final straw – a student came in and wanted me to show her how to use a website that was required for an assignment. The instructions were quite clear, and after just a moment I saw that it was a basic online survey to evaluate a student's computer skills. She seemed in a panic about what to do, and terrified that she would fail her computer class. I had her read through the assignment out loud, making comments like "see, you go to this website" and "once you click on the link it takes you to a survey" and said that was really all I could do to help. She really wanted me to stand there while she did it, but fortunately I had another student waiting at the desk which made for a convenient excuse.
I am fine with helping students navigate websites. I am fine guiding them to information about D'Nealian handwriting, or telling them what reference book they can use to find a labeled skeleton or some statistical analysis definitions. But where is the line to be drawn? If I had walked her through using this website, I would've essentially DONE her assignment for her. Whether by fate, luck, or blessing, I am not a nursing instructor, nor an early education instructor, and DEFINITELY not a math instructor. But I am comfortable using computers and navigating online, so it's harder for me to "say no" when students ask for help in those areas. How do y'all handle students who want you to help them with everything – especially those things far outside your purview as a librarian – even when you may have some knowledge about the subject?

It helps if you have a writing center, tutoring center, etc type place you can refer people to. I tend to explain to the students what I can help them with and suggest avenues for who can help them with the things I can't help.

Perhaps this is the by-product of what I saw in my public library job: parents doing the work for their children (even college-aged children). Some students don't have the necessary skills to take responsibility for their education, having been taught that everything will be done for them. It's unfortunate that the students aren't aware of more appropriate places for help (like a homework assistance/tutoring center).
Comment from AndewS
Posted: November 17, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Do you have a lot of continuing education students? Those are generally the ones that I find need the most assistance, but can also be the most interesting to work with. Either way, like you I have pretty good experience with tech or office, but I learned very early on where to draw the line. We had one student that kept coming back and asking the same office questions over and over that we started directing her to the tutoring center. Not that we couldn't help her, but we started becoming her crutch and it got to the point where she started blaming us if something went wrong when changes were made to the document.
I also tend to draw the line when they start asking about what resources are appropriate. I can offer my opinion, but I've learned to be careful about that and just say I'm not the one giving you your grade. And that's the point that I tend to come back too, the grade. I'm not the one that gave the assignment, I'm not the one teaching the course, or charting their path in the student's profession. I know it sounds harsh, but it's what I found has worked. They know that I can help them find just about anything, but I'm not the one to ask how to do as assignment or if sources are appropriate, or what style to write the paper in. I refer them to their professor as the best possible person to explain things.

I have experienced this with students in upper division classes. That's not to say I haven't seen it with freshman or sophomores, but their inquires were more along the lines of, "Can I ask you for help or should I go to my professor?"
Much of what I ran into with juniors and seniors came from my instruction sessions. I would tell them I would be available to help them, and many felt that meant I would tell them how to start writing or they thought I knew what their professor wanted them to say. I started having hands-on sessions after some basic instruction so that students could ask questions of both me and the professor. Even more importantly, I started telling them that I could show them how to research their topic and how to find sources, but that I wouldn't do it for them. If I had multiple inquiries asking for help actually writing their assignment, I would call their professor. Sometimes the prof appreciated it, sometimes he or she didn't.
In the end, I told the students that I could show them where to find the sources for their assignment. I would help them interpret their assignment (and I always told them to ask their professor for sure). But in the end, I told them I couldn't–and wouldn't–complete their homework for them.

It's nice that your students have faith in you and feel so comfortable approaching you, that they ask you anything and everything.
It's interesting, in terms of the students' information literacy skills, that they are not discriminating between various information needs they have. They are not thinking: librarian for research; math tutor for math problems; peer study group for bone structure or handwriting. Instead, they are putting all of their academic needs into the librarian basket!

My first job was in an inner city School of Nursing library where our students came from a wide variety of backgrounds. I found that the students who behaved in the way you're describing were the ones who had poorest preparation and were least likely to be academically successful. They were in over their heads in school and were looking for anyone who would listen to them and provide assistance–in other words, they are panicking and not really in a place where they are receptive to constructive referrals.
Looking back, I took a number of students under my wing and assisted them as I could. The few who made it through the program were always very grateful. Thirty years later I still run into some of them and it's very gratifying to hear from them how much my assistance meant to them.

Well, part of the problem I think is that "up here in the boonies" we don't have a tutoring center. So they come to me. And I do recommend the center down at the main campus, but it's 30 minutes away and most are reluctant to drive that far. ("It's so much easier to come here than to go down there," they say.) So in they come, thinking I have the answers to all life's questions. And this "librarian basket" is already overflowing!
Comment from Jonathan

I think another factor in getting questions like these is, it is "safe" to ask the librarian questions (any questions). The students might be afraid to talk to their instructor for fear of looking stupid, or otherwise being judged.
Comment from Michael Steeleworthy
Posted: November 17, 2008 at 8:39 pm
@Jonathan, I agree on the "safety" factor. So much of our work is dependent on a certain level of trust as well as the development of a relationship with the students that is different from their relationship with their instructors. We do walk a tightrope in this regard, and will encounter students who may (knowingly or not) abuse this relationship.
This doesn't answer the original question, I know. I don't think there's an easy answer to the dilemma. if there was, it may not have been asked in the first place. instead, it reminds us, or it at least reminds me of all the gaps that need to be filled (i.e. writing centres, math labs, etc) within academics..
Comment from sammy
Posted: November 18, 2008 at 10:39 am
Its not easy, but you just have to explain to the students (sometimes over and over again) that there are certain questions and types of things you can help them with, but then there are things you can't.
Most of the time, in my experience, its because you are there, you are convenient, and you helped them before, so why not again? But part of the learning experience, and part of the growing experience, is learning who to ask, for what, and when, right?
(And if you are in a bigger place, you may have been unlucky enough to have had a colleague who thought they were being really helpful and did someone's homework for them, thus leading that student to want everyone to do ALL their homework for them., including writing a paper…)
Comment from lisa

One problem that you may be having is that the students are just not prepared in any way for college. Although it might be the demographic issue, i.e. parents doing too much for their kids' assignments, it might be a rural area combined with low educational expectations and little money. I work in a rural community college and I find that the older students have the most trouble getting started. However, I am alarmed at the level of unpreparedness that you are seeing. You need a tutoring or supplemental instruction center asap! Look into some grant funders if possible. I recommend keeping a log of the types of questions you are getting in the library and what you are doing (like punting them back to the instructor) so that the instructors and adminstrative types can see what you're up against. Also, despite the fact that the under-30 students embrace the concept of online learning, they may not in fact be prepared in any way for it. Stuedenst in a rural area do not have access to high speed internet and cheap computers at home, which goes a long way toward computer literacy.
Comment from Susanna
Posted: November 18, 2008 at 3:42 pm
I guess it's all about learning how to say "no"… At our branch we have mostly adjuncts (like most community colleges these days) and they can be hard for the students to track down. So I'm easy and accesible. I'm hoping the trend will start slacking off now that midterms are over and I've said "no" enough times that they're starting to learn I'm not a "one-stop-shop" for all their academic needs. But I don't want to appear that I won't help at all – come to me with a niggly research problem and I'm all about it! I've also started compiling a list of adjunct "office hours" (times when I know they're usually on campus in one of the adjunct offices) so I can tell students "Ah – you should see Mr X, the math instructor. He's usually here on Monday afternoons." That has seemed to help too – I can't answer their question about bone structure, but I know when the nursing instructors are here!
Comment from Ellen
Posted: November 18, 2008 at 4:05 pm
I think B had a good point. Our neediest students are those who are least prepared for college work. Since I teach so many library sessions, students associate me with help and maybe even knowledge. I always refer students to other resources when their requests get beyond library resources and research techniques. It's the only way to stay sane.

I almost feel a bit wistful — it's been a long time since we've had too MANY questions at the desk! Having said that, I do understand about trying to find the way between appropriate and inappropriate questions. I worked closely this fall with 2 groups of students who, for various reasons, were not familiar with library services and college-level work generally. I was happy to have them think of me as "their" librarian, since I am comfortable referring when necessary. I do have one student this semester who has come to me a LOT with pretty much the same questions repeatedly, but they are about finding resources, using RefWorks, etc., and I'm definitely all about that!
Comment from Kathy
Posted: November 20, 2008 at 11:45 am
I try to be clear that I can show users how to find information but I can't interpret the information for them. I can sometimes direct them to a person who can interpret it, but that is the limit. I think it's common to get questions like this in both academic and public libraries.
Comment from Tracy
Posted: November 20, 2008 at 3:13 pm
I'm seeing a lot of students come in who don't know how to use our computers. This is complicated by a very slow connection, frustration if what they want isn't readily available, and disinclination to learn HOW to use the system. When you put those factors together, it becomes a real issue. Ignorance is curable, but only if the patient is willing

I am working at a large urban library in NJ and we are using a product that would be great for your patrons. It is tutor.com. This year it has been beefed up to help with more college courses and testing like the GRE's. Students (of any age) log in to a chat/whiteboard session with a subject/level-specific tutor. Also the students can send a file up to the tutor for editing/comments. It is not cheap and it doesn't help everyone but in locations where one-on-one help is difficult to come by this is good.
Comment from Beth
Posted: November 21, 2008 at 8:58 am
You cannot and should not interpret assignments. I can empathize with students who don't understand their assignment (and frankly, some are very poorly designed), but I always encourage them to talk to the professor/instructor and ask him/her to clarify the assignment. Writing/math/tech help centers are a great resource for a college to have, even for those who "know it." We do see these types of problems occasionally at our school too and I would agree, the questions usually come from students who do not seem to be college-ready and should probably spend a year or two at community college before entering a 4 year institution. Of course we get LOTS of questions from all levels on pretty basic computer/tech issues, which only strengthens my position that younger people are not as tech savvy as the world would lead us to believe. But they catch on quickly.
Comment from Edwin Wiles
Posted: November 24, 2008 at 4:20 pm
I agree with Beth but sometimes we can see assignments that are not clearly written. This is a time that we can talk with the professor and explain to him/her more what the library can offer and discuss information literacy more. Sometimes it is true that the student needs more preparation but sometimes it is the professor that needs our help.
Comment from The Naked Librarian
Posted: November 26, 2008 at 12:00 am
We over in Asia do have the same problem although not as often. And we dont have the luxury of a tutoring centre. Yes, we are not crutches. I think all librarians have this inate desire to help as much as we can so when we are faced with a question that we know we should not help, we feel uncomfortable about it.
Here is what I usually do:
1. Ask them questions about their assignment. By asking questions about the assignment I am getting the student to think about it. I would also tell him that I asking questions because I am not a subject specialist and this is my way of understanding his question so that I can help him. This puts him at ease and encourages him to talk.
For eg. if the assignment requires an analysis of factors that affect the failure of a project, I will ask the student "What are these factors? Are they resource-related? Could the factors be linked to the project leader?"
2. The last 2 quesions will get them thinking. If the student continues to say he does not know, then, I would refer him back to the lecturer. I have to make it clear to him that my referring him back is because he needs to know the content before he proceeds to analyze.
3. The whole point is to ensure that we are able to discern whether it is a content/subject question. This is where drawing the line occurs.
4. Some of us would like to help and treat it like a learning experience for ourselves. I think we need very careful as we risk misinforming and giving the student a crutch when he needs to learn.
Hope this helps.

Historical Society recalls Florida's World War II past
Date: January 23, 2013
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
Evey Huntington rode with a car full of teens on V-J Day, aka Victory Over Japan Day, in 1945, to downtown Sarasota.
A boy held up a girl so that she could take a recruiter's sign off of a recruitment station.
"The police came and took all of us to the courthouse for trying to steal government property," said Huntington, who said that police let them go.
Huntington shared the memory when Gary Mormino, the Frank E. Duckwall professor of history at the University of South Florida and co-director of its Florida Studies program, spoke to the Longboat Key Historical Society Jan. 17. At the end of his presentation about Florida during World War II, he asked members for any joyous V-J Day stories.
Most audience members were old enough to remember World War II. But to most of Mormino's students, it is a distant event.
He often tells them that someday within their lifetimes, perhaps in 2025 or 2030, they'll see a headline that reads: "Last World War II vet dies."
Much of Mormino's presentation focused on headlines from Florida newspapers during World War II.
The headline of the extra edition of the St. Petersburg Times from Dec. 7, 1941, had the words "Japan officially declares" in black on one line of the front page with the word "WAR" emblazoned in giant bold red, its letters so large that it took up nearly one-third of the page.
The newspaper publisher told Mormino that he was expecting something major to happen at the time and had been storing red ink for it.
Many of the headlines showed the patriotism of an era.
There was a Tampa Tribune photo featuring two children sitting under a Christmas tree with a portrait of their father in uniform and a flag. Mormino recently tracked down both children and learned that their father made it home from the war.
Florida kept its identity as a tourist state during the war, according to Mormino.
Officials promoted it as "an ideal vacation spot for American defense workers."
The military used many of the state's famed hotels during the war, including the Don Cesar, on St. Pete Beach, and the former Ponce De Leon Hotel, in St. Augustine. Both Sarasota and Bradenton had military bases during the war.
Fighter planes often flew over the Key during training exercises. But the Key was most likely the setting for some of the more idyllic scenes of the era.
"(The recruits) probably took their girlfriends for picnics on the beach, vowing to return someday," Mormino said.

Over the last 12 months, a staggering 1.3million drivers have given up driving – caused by an increase in fuel costs of almost one third! You may want to be sitting down to read this: the typical car owner is now spending over £1,700 per year to fill their car.
With motoring costs spiralling, drivers have been forced to change the way they drive – 75% of motorists have changed their behaviour, including driving more slowly. And 26% of motorists have admitted they no longer fill their tanks fully, while some 45% of motorists (or 16.5 million people) are now driving less.
A sharp-minded 7% have identified car-sharing as an easy and ideal alternative to battling the increasing fuel costs.
With more and more people choosing to join the 285,000 members currently on the Liftshare network, now is an ideal time to run a search and see if anyone is going your way!

That's brilliant, Pete. Lots of lift-sharers just have 2 people in the car; the thing to remember is that if there are (e.g.) four of you, you basically leave your car at home 3 weeks out of four. No wonder you've saved so much!
My car share has up to 4 passengers. Since Apr 2011 to date I have recovered not only my fuel costs but also a major part of what I have spent on servicing/wear & tear this financial year. New Priority Vehicle Lanes near my place of work have also slashed my journey times such that I arrive at work at the same time as I was during the school summer holidays. My employer is a member of 2CarShare.com (part of the liftshare network), and provides 250 parking spaces designated for car sharers.
very good
Some of us don't have a choice:you go where the work is. But at least lift sharing offers a way to keep the costs down
I found it very informative

Can we talk about how fantastic and utterly imaginative Janelle Monae is? Her new single "Tightrope" from her awaited May LP The Archandroid (2010) is a polished, fresh example of Janelle's funky blend of old-school soul and futuristic robot jams.
Janelle has a penchant for cyborg-themed music and videography, and she's also got a pretty powerhouse voice. "Tightrope" lets her show off her verbal acrobatics with quick-step verses balanced by a more ballad-worthy chorus that makes Janelle sounds like a sweeter version of Amy Winehouse. She's captured the jazzy, retro sound of classic funk/soul but infuses it with a contemporary twist — including guest Big Boi of Outkast (who delivers a rap interlude with references ranging from "Macbook" to "NASDAQ" and "ass crack"). The backup brass + turntable blend sounds sometimes like something that could accompany the Jetsons.
No experience of "Tightrope" is complete without the visual accompaniment. In the video, Janelle seems trapped in some sort of asylum inhabited by Michael Jackson's fleet-footed androids and crackly video-faced hooded figures like the ones from Harry Potter. Janelle is playfully vintage + modern, with a crazy pompadour and saddle shoes. While Big Boi delivers his silly rap, her crew busts out moves worthy of the Matrix movies.
Check out the entire album May 18th.

Billionaire Dan Gilbert is a step closer to gaining majority control of Greektown Casino-Hotel, after agreeing to a deal that protects the casino's minority shareholders and offers them the right to sell their remaining shares for $90 a share.
Under the deal announced by Greektown Superholdings Inc., Tuesday, Gilbert — through his company, Athens Acquisitions LLC — would own approximately 75 percent of Greektown shares, pending approval of the Michigan Gaming Control Board. Gilbert's company declined comment on the deal Tuesday.
The Michigan Gaming Control Board could consider the sale at its April 9 meeting.
Gilbert, who owns two Ohio casinos and has a minority share in a Baltimore casino, made known his plans to acquire a majority share of Greektown Casino-Hotel in January and offered $81 a share. He had made multiple share purchases of Greektown before then, dating back to June, according to filings with the Security Exchange Commission.
Gaming analysts saidthe higher offer in Tuesday's agreement likely appeases the casino's minority shareholders. The analysts surmised many minority shareholders were angered by the $81 offer and might have sued, contending Greektown's board didn't seek the best possible offer. Such litigation could have tied up the sale for years.
"With this announcement, the last major hurdle is going to be regulatory approval," said Alexander Calderone, senior vice president of the Finepoint Group, a Las Vegas-based gaming management and consultant firm.
"This addresses one of the last remaining significant obstacles—coming to terms with the minority shareholders. It was something that needed to be addressed."
If a deal had not been reached, angry shareholders would have likely sued, gaming officials and merger experts say.
"This could have ended up in litigation, and nobody wanted it there," said John Truscott , a spokesman for a committee overseeing negotiations for Greektown.
"It could have delayed everything for years."
Greektown Casino Hotel is owned by a group of out-of-state hedge and mutual funds.
Since the casino opened in November 2000 — initially managed by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians — it has gone through bankruptcy and struggled to grow.
Of Detroit's three casinos, Greektown is the smallest, nabbing 25 percent of the revenue, according to the Michigan Gaming Control Board. MotorCity Casino is second with 32.3 percent, and MGM Grand Detroit leads with 42.7 percent.
Erik Gordon, professor at U-M's Law School and an assistant clinical business professor at U-M's Ross School of Business, said Gilbert is likely to seek the remaining 25 percent ownership of Greektown because outright control would offer him fewer headaches.
"You don't want to have minority shareholders second-guessing you and making it tough every time you make a decision," Gordon said. "Gilbert is a take-charge guy. He wants to do what he thinks will make Greektown a great investment."
As news broke in January of Gilbert's interest in Greektown, he signaled the establishment could get a major overhaul, even though the current owners have made upgrades and added amenities, including restaurants and valet parking.
The casino plan fits the pattern of Gilbert making big investments in an effort to revitalize Detroit's downtown.
The trend began in August 2010 when the founder and chairman of Quicken Loans Inc. relocated the headquarters of the nation's largest online home mortgage lender to Detroit from Livonia. Since then, more than 7,000 people from his portfolio of companies have been moved downtown.

Brown and Doyle Highlight List of MEAC Honorees
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. -- Following a 10-5 league season and a four-game win streak, two Howard basketball players were awarded major postseason honors by the conference Thursday afternoon. Lady Bison junior Zykia Brown (Riverdale, Md./Parkdale H.S.) was named to the All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) First Team while freshman teammate Saadia Doyle (Atlanta, Ga./Columbia H.S.) was named the 2009-10 MEAC Rookie of the Year. Doyle also garnered All-MEAC Second Seam honors and earned a spot on the All-MEAC Rookie Team.
Brown led HU (15-12 overall, 10-5 MEAC) to its first winning conference season in several years with consistent play. She is second in the league and 21st in the nation with 18.8 points per game. The junior is top-10 in the conference in 3-pt. field goals made, free-throw percentage and steals per game and recorded 20-plus scoring games nine times this season. Brown was named MEAC Player of the Week on Dec. 14 and recorded her 1,000th point in a win over Norfolk State on Jan. 18.
Doyle has current averages of 17 points and 10.9 rebounds per game. The rookie led the conference in rebounding and is ranked among the top ten in eight different categories. She is ranked fifth in the NCAA with 18 double-doubles and 15th nationally in rebounding. Doyle was named MEAC Rookie of the Week eight times this season and pulled down a conference-high 22 rebounds in a win over Coppin State on Jan. 11.
Brown, Doyle and the rest of the Lady Bison wrap up their regular season at Hampton on Thursday before heading to the MEAC Tournament on March 8-13. Hampton, Morgan State and/or Howard could finish the season as the conference's runners-up or with a share for the title based on the outcome of tonight's games.

Crack of Thunder bowl
A crack detail in gold runs through the bowl and almost looks like a crack of thunder. Japanese tradition included gluing broken china together and gilding it in gold to eccentuate the imperfection. These plates and bowls points to the inevitability of nature to eventually filter into all our manmade creations despite our best efforts.
The theme of making unwanted marks in shiny gold runs through the Drip and Lip Tease Teaware collection and fits in as a range.

10 years ago was 2003, not the 1990s.
Just to be clear, I meant to say even 10 years ago things were not what you described, so your experience was probably from the precedent decade.
I'm not blaming you for giving up, just don't compare what Linux is in the present to what it was in the late 90. Things have evolve a lot. I'm not telling you to give a try. Do what you want. I seriously don't care. But please don't make judgment based on what you think you know. I could make use Linux to my grandmother who don't understand much about computing, and I'm sure it would work well. Believe it or not.
Linux was ready in the late 90s or even early 2000s, but seriously it's not comparable to what it is today.
