According to Google Search, searching on Google "may harm your computer"
Here is good information from BlogJunction When times get tough, trainers share ideas:
"…The January Staff Training in Tough Times Town Hall generated a veritable flood of creative ideas and solutions. You can partake of the energy in a number of ways:
Newly released and relevant survery results by CCH INCORPORATED in Australia entitled Professionals and Web 2.0 conclusions:
"…Over 90% of professionals believe that Web 2.0 has relevance in the workplace whilst 59% of Professionals use Web 2.0 at least once a week; these figures are set to increase over the next three years.
Other key findings include:
Ideally, our libraries and our profession should be inclusive as is true Christianity. Below is the "conclusion" to an essay entitled "A Rationale for Integrating Christian Faith and Librarianship" [http://books.google.com/books?id=etLtVstE5AsC&pg=PA11&dq=Faith+in+Librarianship] by Gregory A. Smith that I found quite interesting on a subject rarely discussed in the general library community though it will likely generate negative feedback. It was published in "Christian Librarianship Essays On The Integration of Faith and Profession by Gregory A. Smith and Donald G. Davis.
"Contrary to the opinion of some, the relationship between the Christian faith and librarianship need not be adversarial. Three factors suggest the two can be integrated with mutual benefit. First, for two thousand years Christians have developed libraries in order to further their religious mission. In the process, they have preserved secular resources and stimulated the development of libraries at large.
Second, Christian interest in libraries is not merely pragmatic. Rather, Christian theism provides a rationale for many of the philisophical assumptions that underlie contemporary librarianship. The Christian faith justifies the librarians' committment to service, intellectual freedom, preservation, literacy and other professional ideals.
Third, Christians have energetically explored the relationship between their fatih and disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, history, and biology. Though little has been done to interpret library science from a Christian perspective, insights from other fields suggests that this process would be fruitful.
In this essay, I have referred to Christianity primarily as a philosophical system. It's central concern is, of course, spiritual–drawing us into a proper relationship with the creator of the universe: "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent" (John 17:3). No librarian should identify with the Christian faith simply because of its historical and philosophical ties to libraries. Nevertheless, librarians who identify themselves as Christians (and those who might consider doing so) should be encouraged to find that they may pursue their religious committments without sacrificing their professional pursuits. In short, Christian librarianship is not an oxymoron."
A relevant video is here discussing the C.S. Lewis Foundation:
From Barron's Tech Trader Daily – Barron's Online : Amazon: Kindle Demand Ahead … blog today by Eric Savitz:
"CEO Jeff Bezos this afternoon told investors on the company's post-earnings conference call that demand for its Kindle e-book reader is outpacing expectations. He says the company is 'scrambling' for more manufacturing capacity so it can reach its goal of shipping the device immediately upon orders being received. 'We're working hard to get there,'he says. 'We're super excited by the very strong demand.'"

Sam Schroeder reports GDrive One Step Closer to Reality today on Mashable! post :
"Ah, GDrive, the mythical, all-encompassing online storage solution that will practically render most of your hardware obsolete. At least that's what the legend says; my bet is that it will be another free online storage service, just with more storage and less crap: just like Gmail was (compared to the competition) when it first came to be.
We'll see who was right soon enough, because GDrive is now moving from 'rumor' stage to 'somewhat founded rumor' stage. A blogger found out references to something called GDrive in a piece ofGoogle's code.
The code snippet in question looks like this (important parts highlighted by me):
// Localized product category of GDrive
_CI_messages.CI_GDRIVE_CATEGORY = 'Online file backup and storage';
// Localized short description of GDrive (1st
// of 2 description lines)
_CI_messages.CI_GDRIVE_DESCRIPTION_1 = 'GDrive provides reliable storage for all of your files, including photos, music and documents';
// Localized short description of GDrive (2nd
// of 2 description lines)
_CI_messages.CI_GDRIVE_DESCRIPTION_2 = 'GDrive allows you to access your files from anywhere, anytime, and from any device – be it from your desktop, web browser or cellular phone';
Furthermore, there's some evidence on GDrive in a PDF tutorial titled "GDrive on Cosmo Getting Started Guide," found by Google Blogoscoped. It seems to be an internal how-to on GDrive usage; it might be fake, but together with the code snippet found above, it makes for solid rumor material."
I thought this was good from Seth's Blog today which he labels as What are you good at? . It is good advice for librarians and others either marketing themselves now or in the future:
"As you consider marketing yourself for your next gig, consider the difference between process and content.
Content is domain knowledge. People you know or skills you've developed. Playing the piano or writing copy about furniture sales. A rolodex of movers in a given industry, or your ability to compute stress ratios in your head.
Domain knowledge is important, but it's (often) easily learnable.
Process, on the other hand, refers to the emotional intelligence skills you have about managing projects, visualizing success, persuading other people of your point of view, dealing with multiple priorities, etc. This stuff is insanely valuable and hard to learn. Unfortunately, it's usually overlooked by headhunters and HR folks, partly because it's hard to accredit or check off in a database…
As the world changes ever faster, as industries shrink and others grow, process ability is priceless. Figure out which sort of process you're world-class at and get even better at it. Then, learn the domain… that's what the internet is for.
One of the reasons that super-talented people become entrepreneurs is that they can put their process expertise to work in a world that often undervalues it."
This new Pew Internet: Generations Online in 2009 report is worth reviewing:
Generations Online in 2009
1/28/2009 | Report | Sydney Jones Susannah Fox
Over half of the adult internet population is between 18 and 44 years old. But larger percentages of older generations are online now than in the past, and they are doing more activities online, according to surveys taken from 2006-2008.
Contrary to the image of Generation Y as the "Net Generation," internet users in their 20s do not dominate every aspect of online life. Generation X is the most likely group to bank, shop, and look for health information online. Boomers are just as likely as Generation Y to make travel reservations online. And even Silent Generation internet users are competitive when it comes to email (although teens might point out that this is proof that email is for old people).

Interesting results about Google search from Google Gobbled Up 90 Percent Of All U.S. Search Growth In 2008 on TechCrunch today:
"…The chart above tells a clearer story. It comes out of the comScore 2008 Digital Year In Review, and shows the share of raw number of search queries in the U.S captured by the five major search engines. All the lines are pretty flat, except Google's (the purple one). Of the 137 billion estimated total searches performed in the U.S. last year, 85 billion were done on Google.
What's even more impressive is that nearly 90 percent of all the growth in search volume was also captured by Google. Most of that growth came from increasing the number of searches per person, rather than bringing more people to Google."
CrunchGear poster John Biggs today Kindle could have color screen, contain the hair of the rare zebracorn :
"Let the speculation begin! Our sources tell us what you already know: that the new Kindle is thinner and has a nicer design and probably has a touchscreen. Sadly, now everyone is chiming in with a little more value added rumor…I could have told you that 'Amazon probably intends to weaponize the Kindle for use in military situations' and that 'Jeff Bezos will probably team up with Apple to produce the iKindle.' Both are plausible scenarios based on my experience in the industry and powers of perception.
It will be thin, handsome, and probably cheaper. But it won't be in color and yes, they improved it."
Here is an excerpt from today's post Google: What's in it for libraries? by Karen Cole [Coyle's InFormation] who "gave on the Google panel at ALA in Denver":
"…Google/AAP Settlement: What's in it for libraries? What I can say with certainty is that we don't really know. And I don't really know. What I have to work with is the settlement document, all 140+ pages and 15 appendices, which is the same information that is available to you. But in spite of its size, that is just the tip of the iceberg. It doesn't reveal the discussions that took place nor the reasons behind the decisions that were made. Some people know much more because they were involved in the negotiations. However, everyone who was involved is sworn to secrecy and can't speak about it. This greatly limits what we can and cannot know about the potential effect on libraries…
You and I know that Google is not a library, but we also know that our users don't understand that difference. And I'm pretty sure that some city managers with budget problems will not understand that difference, but they do know what it costs them to maintain a public library. I hope that Google understands that its own ambitions can have far-reaching effects on public institutions, but I don't know if there is any way to mitigate the danger that Google can pose to those institutions.
To my library colleagues, I have some advice. We have to be willing to throw off the past and learn to innovate. This is a new information world, and we must be full participants in it. To be visible we must embrace the Web as our data platform, and to do that we must reject any attempts to prevent us from participating openly on the Net."
Judith A. Siess points out today on her blog OPL Plus (not just for OPLs anymore) a worthwhile read which is "…a report on the Special Libraries Association's plans for positioning itself and the profession for the future. It was presented 13 January 2009, SLA Winter Meeting in Savannah, Georgia."

OCLC press release today announced:
"HathiTrust, a group of some of the largest research libraries in the United States collaborating to create a repository of their vast digital collections, and OCLC will work together to increase visibility of and access to items in the HathiTrust's shared digital repository.
Launched jointly by the 12-university consortium known as the Committee on Institutional Cooperation and the 11 university libraries of the University of California system, HathiTrust leverages the time-honored commitment to preservation and access to information that university libraries have valued for centuries. The group's digital collections, including millions of books, will be archived and preserved in a single repository hosted by HathiTrust. Materials in the public domain and those where rightsholders have given permission will be available for reading online.
OCLC and HathiTrust will work together to increase online visibility and accessibility of the digital collections by creating WorldCat records describing the content and linking to the collections via WorldCat.org and WorldCat Local. The organizations will launch a project in the coming months to develop specifications and determine next steps..."
From a FastCompany [FastCompany.com - Where ideas and people meet | Fast Company] post [Amazon's Kindle 2 E-Reader to Debut on February 9 | Technomix ... ] today : "…First, Amazon's own Kindle page is reporting that the Kindle is sold out. Buyers are told they'll have to wait a few months for delivery–a suspicious slip in supply for such a successful device from a company that knows how to handle a supply chain.
Second, the Kindle hasn't been updated at all since it came out in November 2007. That's a long time in the gadget world, giving Amazon R&D time to devise a successor.
Third, a storm of internet excitement built up last year when the previously unheard-of Plastic Logic [Plastic Logic Home] announced its e-reader Kindle competitor. The device seemed to be thinner–at just 7mm–and more high-tech than the Kindle, having a larger touchscreen and the ability to annotate all sorts of documents and texts. A few leaked bits of info have recently confirmed that while the device was originally due soon, it's since been delayed until late 2009 or 2010.
And now there's been a confirmation that Amazon boss Jeff Bezos will be at the February 9 event. The fact that he's attending underlines that it really is something "important," particularly since he was also present at the Kindle's launch event…"

This following is some potentially useful information for both sides of an organization's "downsizing" from a post on LibGig [Library Jobs, careers, placement, recruiting | LibGig | Your ...] entitled Restoring Morale After Layoffs which is excerpted here:
"How do you restore morale and productivity after layoffs occur? The Hayes Group International suggests a five-pronged approach to keeping survivors afloat:
Plan: Figure out how the layoff will be communicated and how to assist survivors. Work out reassigned tasks and responsibilities ahead of time. Communicate why the changes were necessary and how roles will change…
Listen empathetically: Most survivors will likely go through a period of grieving and guilt. A manager who's able to console his team can help improve morale…
Maintain trust: Many survivors will feel at least disappointed; some will feel betrayed. To try to maintain trust, observe three important elements — demonstrate concern, act with integrity, and achieve results.
Develop survivors' skills: With reassigned responsibilities, some employees may need additional training…
Don't overpromise; be honest. If you swear the layoffs are over and more occur, it'll be almost impossible to regain trust."

Library Journal reported from the ALA mid-winter conference on OCLC's defensive spiel to explain their temporarily suspended new policy which has caused a big stink in the library community in OCLC Defends Records Policy, Faces Questions, Suggestions, and … excerpted here:
"…On one level OCLC's recently revised—and suspended—policy regarding record-sharing, aiming to 'modernize record use and transfer practices for application on the Web, foster new uses of WorldCat data that benefit members and clarify data sharing rights and restrictions,' was simply a matter of bad communication, a cooperative behaving in top-down rather than consultative fashion.
That, OCLC VP Karen Calhoun could easily acknowledge. However, in much of her presentation Monday at the American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting in Denver, she firmly defended the intent of the policy, suggesting that critics in the blogosphere had an unrealistic view of the library ecosystem. In response, some panelists suggested that OCLC itself was failing to modernize.
She apologized, on behalf of the study group and OCLC, for not taking the 'value of participatory decision-making nearly seriously enough' and said the review process will address not just the policy and process behind it but also what community norms should be in place.
A revision is expected by the third quarter of 2009. Calhoun acknowledged that 'OCLC is caught, along with many other organizations, in this painful transition,' one in which new business models emerge and potential competitors like the upstart ‡biblios.net provide similar services…"

My perception on the subject is reflected in this T-shirt–a long-term, greedy power grab from the dark side undermining years of cooperative data-sharing:
The new and interesting January 2009 Ranking Web of World Repositories from Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), "the largest public research body in Spain," has been released.
Here are the top 50 of the top 300 list [CCHS-CSIC©2002-2009]:
Below is some pretty good advice on doing presentations from My top seven presentation tips by Jill Hurst-Wahl, a "…a digitization consultant and owner of Hurst Associates, Ltd. She also teaches digitization for Syracuse University's School of Information Studies…
I'm not thrilled to participate in/join with the Library Day in the Life project because it makes me feel a little narcissistic and will highlight the mundane aspects of the job. However, if I find the time (disclaimer in case it doesn't happen), I think at least minimally following the plan will provide supplemental information relative to the stated purpose of the "The Proverbial Lone Wolf Librarian's Weblog" which is all about chronicling my professional growth and experience while working as a solo, special librarian.
I had not even considered participation until today so I guess I'll write at least a minimal post every day next week instead of starting in the middle of this week.
For posterity and those who may be unaware of it, the description of the project is as follows:
"Whether you are a librarian or library worker of any kind, help us share and learn about the joys and challenges of working in a library. Join us by sharing details of your day for a week on your blog. Not only is this a great way for us to see what our colleagues are doing and how they spend their days but it's a great way for students who are interested in the library profession to see what we really do."
Here is some sensible advice on "cloud computing" today from Is Your Head in the Clouds? [http://www.thegeekweekly.com/feature/head_in_clouds/index.html] by Marc Saltzman:
"…Know The Risks
After all, you've been reading email in the 'cloud' for many years now, with web-based services like Windows Live Hotmail and Gmail, so why not work on your business apps remotely, too? You can, but cloud computing carries a few risks, warns Ted Schadler, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research, a Cambridge, Mass.-based independent research company covering business and technology. "Cloud computing is a new concept for most companies, and as with anything new, it raises questions."
Some argue working in the cloud can be safer than carrying around sensitive corporate data that could be lost or stolen, but you should evaluate the potential risks involved.
Sticking with a known company makes a difference. "Companies like AT&T Hosting & Application Services, that's delivering hosted Microsoft Exchange, Salesforce with its CRM suite, or Microsoft itself, don't have reputations for security breaches or other business failures," says Schadler. "Instead, they invest more than your average Fortune 1,000 company in security technology and best practices — you see this reflected in their security certifications."
Google Apps, for example, has the SAS 70 Type II certification to show its data centers and processes pass muster with a third-party auditor.
New Security Practices Needed
Cloud-style computing encompasses new security technologies and techniques, which will be available from new types of service providers, says John Pescatore, an analyst with Gartner, an IT research firm based in Stamford, Conn…
Securing Data In The Cloud
Pescatore recommends these steps to secure your cloud computing experience:
I think this is a very interesting image and review of projected trends that I hadn't seen before from Ross Dawson [http://rossdawsonblog.com/] which is worth a closer look:
"Created by Future Exploration Network's Chief Futurist Richard Watson, also of NowandNext.com, the 2009 trend map moves on from the subway map theme of the last years to show the multi-tentacled hydra that is the year ahead."
A post today on Wired Blog network Why Cloud Computing Still Doesn't Work and How Google Will Fix it … from Charlie Sorrel is worth a read:
"The promise of cloud computing is a good one — all your gadgets can be used to access all your information, all the time. Your iPhone can call up just the same files and music as your desktop machine at home. You can go on the road with a laptop and just pull down your data from the internet. And that same data, your precious data, is secure, backed up in the ether and resistant to both disaster and your own negligence alike.
The reality is far from this…
The main problem is ubiquity. By definition, your most important files are the ones you need with you at all times, or at least at any time. But what if the internet connection is down? How do you get the spreadsheet from Google docs, or refer to the map in that email when you are offline?
The standard scenario is that you have your connection chopped of when you're on a plane, although I actually like the relaxing offline time of a plane ride. This is a problem, but in truth you are cut off whenever you are away from home or office.
What about 3G modems? Well, they work for small data, but the networks are still too slow for shifting big files like music, photos or movies and when you get outside the Big City and its 3G coverage, you may as well be on dial-up. And war-driving for Wi-Fi is no way for the professional to work.
So, say we solved the network problem. You have a netbook with a day-long battery life and a guaranteed, 24/7 connection that's fast enough to stream HD video. We'll dream a little here and pretend that it is also cheap and has no crazy bandwidth caps. Would this work?
Maybe, but I think most people still like to have their data with them, where they can 'touch' it. The cloud is nice as a backup, but if it's the only copy of your data, it's a little worrying not to have your own local one.
Enter Google's GDrive, which is being rumored for launch soon. The idea seems to be that you upload all of your data to Google's servers and then use that instead of a hard-drive. This seems stupid.
More likely is that you mirror your computer's drive at Google and then changes are seamlessly copied across your various devices and the web as you make them. This keeps every gadget up to date but also means you can grab files while in an internet cafe without your own machine.
Sounds dumb? There are already services that do this. I have my MacBook Pro and my hackintosh partially synced via DropBox, and I can also get those files on my iPod Touch via the internet. the problem is that I only get 2GB free, and if I pay, I can still only get 50GB. Remember how, before Gmail, you counted webmail storage space in the megabytes?
I have a feeling GDrive will do the same for web storage. All your info, everywhere, all the time. Think of it as IMAP for everything. It'll happen, and when it does, our portable gadgets will become truly useful."
This report about the status of the Kindle from The All Things Digital [AllThingsD] blog post Time to Crank Up The Kindle Rumor Mill: Amazon Press Conference Set For Feb. 9 :
"When will see a new version of the Kindle, Amazon's much-talked about e-book reader? Maybe in two weeks: The company will be holding an 'important' press conference in New York on Monday February 9, it tells me.
Besides the where and when (10am at the Morgan Library in midtown), the company hasn't provided any other details. But I'll note that the last time Amazon (AMZN) held a New York press conference, in November 2007, it was to unveil Kindle 1.0. When CEO Jeff Bezos spoke to Walt Mossberg at All Things Digital in May 2008, he wouldn't peg a time frame for a new Kindle iteration. But it seems reasonable to expect a new one more than a year after the launch of the initial version."
CrunchGear also reported today in its post Amazon press conference on 2/9: I can haz kindle too? :
"Last time Amazon had a press conference they released a little something I like to call the best ebook reader in the whole wide world. Well, we've got a seat at another conference on Monday, February 9 and unless they're announcing a Bezos-themed amusement park in the Ukraine, I'm pretty sure we're going to see the Kindle 2.
As Michael wrote before the holiday:
The images that surfaced of the new Kindle in October are real – it's a longer device but not as thick as the original Kindle, and fixes some of the button issues that plague users (like accidental page turns). A larger-screen student version is still scheduled for the first half of 2009.
The event will be at the lush Morgan Library & Museum which seems to suggest something to do with books. If our sources are correct, the new Kindle will be quite a bit nicer than the original model. It was originally described as being what the iPod Touch was to the original 1st gen iPod – a quantum leap in gadget styling and technology."

The London Observer [Observer | From the Observer | guardian.co.uk] yesterday [Google plans to make PCs history | Technology | The Observer] reported about Google's coming
"Google is to launch a service that would enable users to access their personal computer from any internet connection, according to industry reports. But campaigners warn that it would give the online behemoth unprecedented control over individuals' personal data.
The Google Drive, or "GDrive", could kill off the desktop computer, which relies on a powerful hard drive. Instead a user's personal files and operating system could be stored on Google's own servers and accessed via the internet.
The long-rumoured GDrive is expected to be launched this year, according to the technology news website TG Daily, which described it as 'the most anticipated Google product so far'. It is seen as a paradigm shift away from Microsoft's Windows operating system, which runs inside most of the world's computers, in favour of 'cloud computing', where the processing and storage is done thousands of miles away in remote data centres…
Google refused to confirm the GDrive, but acknowledged the growing demand for cloud computing…"

These are some interesting search engine market share update reports from the Search Engine Land: Must Read News About Search Marketing & Search … post Search Market Share 2008: Google Grew, Yahoo & Microsoft Dropped & Stabilized :
"…Now for the charts. I'll start with the share of all searches in the United States estimated to have been processed by Google in a given month. Why four lines? There are four major ratings services out there: comScore (CS), Nielsen (NR), Compete (CP) and Hitwise (HW). Each gathers data in different ways, and what each considers to be a 'search' varies as well.
I plot them against each other in order to see how they agree on overall trends. For example, it matters less to me that comScore thought Google started 2008 with a roughly 58% share while Hitwise estimated a 66% share. What's important is that both services agreed that Google's share overall grew:

The theunquietlibrary today posted a Barnes & Nobel video trailer on BN Studio: Book Trailer Teaser for Fahrenheit 451! which I thought was good. The video highlights the continuing misconception (even among some overly zealous librarians) that Ray Bradbury's 1953 classic was about censorship. The reality, according to the author [Los Angeles News - Ray Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451 Misinterpreted ...] in 2007, is that the subject was television and how such media will dumb down the populace by producing less reading.
Here is the Barnes & Nobel book trailer:

In mesh-based peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming systems, each video sequence is divided into segments, which are then streamed from multiple senders to a receiver. The receiver needs to coordinate the senders by specifying a transmission schedule for each of them. We consider the problem of scheduling segment transmission in P2P streaming systems, where different segments have different weights in terms of quality improvements to the received video. Our goal is to compute the transmission schedule for each receiver in order to maximize the perceived video quality. We first show that this scheduling problem is NP-Complete. We then present an integer linear programming (ILP) formulation for it, so that it can be solved with any ILP solver. This optimal solution, however, is computationally expensive and is not suitable for real-time P2P streaming systems. Thus, we propose two approximation algorithms to solve this segment scheduling problem. These algorithms provide theoretical guarantees on the worst-case performance. The first algorithm considers the weight of each video segment. The second algorithm is simpler and it assumes that segments carry equal weights. We analyze the performance and complexity of the two algorithms. In addition, we rigorously evaluate the proposed algorithms with simulations and experiments using a prototype implementation. Our simulation and experimental results show that the proposed algorithms outperform other algorithms that are commonly used in deployed P2P streaming systems and that have been recently proposed in the literature.

From: Kitchen Hero: Great Food for Less
Ribollita is an Italian soup that was traditionally seen as peasant food. The great thing about this soup is that it makes an ideal base for any additional ingredients that you might want to add. Think of it as an opportunity to give a last moment of glory to any miserable veggies left at the bottom of your fridge! I keep leftover Parmesan rinds in my freezer, which I add to sauces and soups like this to give a unique rich flavour. Add a couple while the soup is simmering and simply fish them out before serving.

There's no excuse: Managing hearing-impaired or deaf workers
June 1, 2011
It is a misconception that hearing-impaired or deaf workers do not have to participate in a hearing conservation program. Like those with normal hearing, these workers still fall under OSHA, MSHA and FRA regulations for occupational noise exposures.

February 20, 2007
Keeping workers properly protected from hazardous noise and motivated to wear their hearing protectors is a challenge for any safety manager. With proper training and ongoing encouragement, most workers do wear their earplugs or earmuffs on the job. However, there are always a few workers who feel compelled to raise objections to wearing their earplugs or earmuffs. Here are a few common objections workers raise to wearing hearing protection devices (HPDs), and some suggestions on how to combat them and perhaps even change those attitudes

Dirt-cheap real estate and bargain-basement labor have done little to soothe the recession's sting for the besieged building trades. Construction has always been a chief economic bellwether, so it's no surprise roofers, electricians and all manners of general contractors have suffered over the last three years.

Having a little fun while riding a limousine is just fine but here are some things to know before "wild n out".
The Sterling Access, designed by Guy Ninio at Silverado Coach Company in Los Angeles, debuted at the International Limo Digest Show 2007 in Atlantic City.
The new limo is available through Regal Limousines, based in Sayreville, N.J.
With the doors shut, the limo looks like any other luxury stretch.
A concealed fifth door, with a specially designed seat, allows physically handicapped passengers to easily transfer from a wheelchair to the seat. The seat supports more than 500 pounds.
The inside is similar to most limos, but has an extra control panel above the handicapped passenger seat to provide complete access to all controls.
The innovative limo was built by the LCW Automotive Corp, based in San Antonio, Texas.

A Cup of Tea (Ballantine Reader's Circle)by Amy Ephron
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Born to privilege, Rosemary Fell has wealth, well-connected friends, and a handsome fiancé, Philip Alsop. One cold and rainy night she sees, under a streetlamp, the mysterious Eleanor Smith huddled against the elements. In a moment of beneficence, Rosemary invites the penniless young woman home for a cup of tea.
Arriving on the scene, Philip notices Eleanor warming herself by the roaring fire. When Rosemary sees them exchange an unmistakable look, she promptly sends the girl packing. But too late. In that one brief moment, Rosemary's carefully sculptured life has cracked beyond repair. . . . Inspired by the classic Katherine Mansfield short story, A Cup of Tea springs to life from its rich cast of characters and brilliant evocation of the uncertain days of World War I. This darkly romantic novel engages us with impeccable plotting and a deep sense of foreboding, propelling us toward its shocking conclusion. Synopsis:In 1917, as war looms abroad, Rosemary Fell has what appears to be a perfect life: wealth, privilege, and a handsome fiance, Philip Alsop. Then one cold and rainy night she sees, in the glow of a streetlamp, the destitute Eleanor Smith huddled against the elements. On a whim, Rosemary invites the ragged creature home for a cup of tea.
When Philip sees the impoverished Eleanor, now in one of Rosemary's fine dresses, he is struck by her beauty and unable to look away. Angrily aware of his gaze, Rosemary sends the girl packing. But weeks after that night, a chance encounter brings Philip and Eleanor together — and leads to a passionate affair that envelops all their lives and propels them toward a shocking denouement....

Soar, Jeffrey and Wang, Hua and Su, Ying (2011) A model for regional innovation and information sharing to reduce falls amongst the elderly through intelligent technologies.

This paper explores the potential benefits of ICT (Information and communication technologies) from the perspectives of services to the frail elderly and chronic illness sufferers in home and community settings with a particular interest in falls prevention and detection. There is a high incidence of falls amongst the elderly that might be assisted through ICTs which could provide benefits to consumers, families, carers and care provider organisations. It offers a model for prevention and detection of falls of the elderly which are a particularly complex issue and associated with a range of risk factors. Whilst there is increasing interest in ICT for aged and community care as represented by national strategies, pilot projects and early roll-outs, much care in home and community settings remains labour intensive. There are perceived to be significant benefits available to consumers, their families, care professionals, care provider organizations and care funders from further investment in ICTs for home care. Falls are a major and complex risk in ageing that can have catastrophic outcomes. Any innovation in ICTs for prevention and detection of falls is likely to produce significant benefits for consumers, families, carers and communities.

7 College Basketball Coaches That Will Become Next Calhoun, Boeheim, Coach K
By Trevor Medeiros ,
We all know the names. Jim Calhoun. Jim Boeheim. Mike Krzyzewski.
They're widely considered college basketball's best head coaches alive today. They've each won a ton of games, a few national championships and have turned their respective programs into household names.
While coaches like Calhoun, Boeheim and Krzyzewski are the cream of the crop today, they won't be that way forever. Sooner or later, these coaches will step aside (Calhoun apparently already has) and make way for a new crop of legendary coaches.
With that understood, the question now becomes exactly which up-and-coming coaches are the likeliest to win a national championship at some point and become legendary in their own right.
It's not exactly easy to handicap this type of thing, but here goes anyway.
Butler coach Brad Stevens didn't exactly take the usual route to get onto a list like this.
After all, Stevens is an economics major who could be labeled the Dougie Houser of college basketball coaches, considering his youthful age (35) and baby-face looks.
But despite the unlikely rise to prominence, there's no denying Stevens deserves his rightful place on this list. Who can forget when Stevens took tiny Butler University out of Indianapolis to two consecutive national title games in 2010 and 2011?
Despite Butler missing the NCAA Tournament this past season, you get the feeling that Stevens is poised to eventually win a national championship—be it with Butler or a high-profile program.
It wouldn't be all that crazy if Stevens wins it all with Butler. Had Gordon Hayward's half court heave gone down against Duke, or had Butler not run into the buzzsaw that was Kemba Walker's UConn Huskies, we could be sitting here talking about how Butler is the holder of back-to-back national titles.
Speaking of UConn, I'm sure 20 years ago, everyone laughed at the notion of Jim Calhoun eventually winning three national championships in a town like Storrs, Connecticut. Maybe 20 years from now, Stevens will join Calhoun in the Basketball Hall of Fame for similar accomplishments.
When the name Brad Stevens comes up in a college basketball discussion, you know the name Shaka Smart isn't too far behind. Smart has had a meteoric rise similar to Stevens in the coaching rankings.
Smart's VCU Rams went from First Four to Final Four back in the 2011 NCAA Tournament. Ironically enough, VCU lost to Butler in the national semifinals that year. Much like Stevens, the youthful Smart has a very bright future ahead of him in the coaching business.
He's an energetic coach whose personality has rubbed off on his VCU players all throughout his 3-year tenure in Richmond. His teams play with swagger and a full-court defensive tenacity not seen every day on the collegiate level.
Under Smart's guidance, VCU has become a trending college basketball program that—along with Butler—has moved on to a superior conference in the Atlantic 10. Be it with VCU or some other fortunate program, I can easily envision one of Smart's teams winning a national title before his coaching career is said and done.
Not since the early days of Mike Davis' tenure in Bloomington has expectations for Indiana been so lofty. Hoosiers fans have one man to thank for this (and no, it's not Cody Zeller).
Tom Crean has brought the glory days back to the Hoosiers, thanks to his coaching acumen and relentless recruiting. Before landing in Bloomington, Crean led Dwyane Wade and Marquette to the Final Four and you get the feeling that a return to the Final Four is inevitable for Indiana.
If Crean is able to sustain the incredible recruiting job he's done thus far at Indiana, it's simply a matter of time before he joins Bob Knight in the rankings of coaches who have led one of college basketball's most prestigious programs to a national championship.
Just two years ago, Crean landed arguably the nation's best player in Zeller. He has the country's fifth-best (according to Rivals) recruiting group coming in for the upcoming season.
And, so far, he has a Top 10 class lined up for next season. Granted, some coaches believe that Crean is one of the country's biggest cheaters out there, according to a survey conducted by cbssports.com.
But for all we know, that could be sour grapes. Those sour grapes will turn even bitterer when Crean eventually brings the Hoosiers back to the promise land.
Another coach who has made a serious dent on the recruiting trail recently is Arizona's Sean Miller. The Wildcats are bringing in the nation's third-best recruiting class (according to Rivals) for the upcoming season.
This comes not that long after Miller guided the Wildcats to the Elite Eight of the 2011 NCAA Tournament. Let's face it; the success Miller has had at Arizona and Xavier—his prior stop—coupled with his great recruiting ability, makes him one of the coaches on the rise in college basketball.
When you consider that Arizona is still regarded as one of the more elite programs out there, thanks to the job Lute Olson did building up the program in the 1990s, and they play in the mediocre Pac 12, it's only a matter of time before it's Miller's time in the desert.
I'll be very surprised if Arizona doesn't win a national title under Miller's watch.
Scott Drew has done pretty much the impossible as a head coach thus far.
He's made the Baylor Bears relevant in college basketball.
While Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III brought the Baylor football team prominence and Brittney Griner delivered the women's basketball team a national title, Drew has brought plenty of (mostly) positive attention upon the men's basketball squad.
This comes after the program had plenty of negative attention a few years ago. Let's not forget that, back in the early 2000s, the program was rocked by the murder of Baylor player Patrick Dennehy (by teammate Carlton Dotson) and its subsequent cover-up by then-head coach Dave Bliss.
It's safe to say that, under Drew, Baylor basketball has made a great recovery from this tragedy.
The Bears have advanced to two NCAA regional finals since Drew took over the program back in 2003. Prior to Drew's arrival in Waco, the last time the Bears made the Elite Eight was 1950.
A major contributor to Drew's success with Baylor has been his ability to recruit big-time talent. Over the past several years, stars like Perry Jones III, Quincy Miller and Quincy Acy have played a major role in the program's resurgence.
But Drew's recruiting success hasn't come without controversy. Back in the spring, the program was placed on three years of probation by the NCAA for recruiting violations.
Time will tell if this will either be a black eye or just a blemish on Baylor basketball. If it's the latter, then look for the program's golden age to continue under Drew's watch.
They say defense wins championships, and college basketball is no exception. There aren't many coaches whose players lock down on defense better than Florida State's Leonard Hamilton.
Who can forget the job they did when they stifled star scorer Ben Hansbrough and Notre Dame on their way to the Sweet 16 back in the 2011 NCAA Tournament? And Hamilton's players were at it again this past spring.
That's when the Seminoles used their trademark stifling defense to win the program's first-ever ACC Tournament title. The 'Noles bested both Duke and North Carolina to win the tournament, a feat certainly much easier said than done in college basketball.
Given the recent success, Florida State basketball's reputation of being a quality program continues to grow, as does Hamilton's reputation of being a quality coach. As long as Hamilton's teams keep manning up on the defensive end of the court, expect the growth to continue for years to come.
When Marquette assistant coach Buzz Williams took over the reins of the program back in 2008, few college basketball fans even knew who he was. It's safe to say a lot of people know who he is now.
The Golden Eagles have made the NCAA Tournament all four years that Williams has been in charge, highlighted by two consecutive Sweet 16 appearances the past two years. Recruits are starting to notice the job Williams is doing in Milwaukee.
Currently, the Golden Eagles have lined up the third-best recruiting class for 2013, according to Rivals. Obviously, the rankings will change numerous times between now and next year.
Still, just the fact that Marquette is becoming a force in the recruiting game shows that they could be on the verge of becoming one of college basketball's truly elite programs. If that happens, it's safe to say everyone will soon know who Buzz Williams is.

- US EPA adopts Tier 3 emission standards for light-duty vehicles
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized Tier 3 emission regulations for light-duty vehicles. Starting from 2017, the Tier 3 program sets new vehicle emission standards and lowers the sulfur content of gasoline. The Tier 3 rule has been adopted largely as proposed-there appear to be no major changes between the Tier 3 proposal and the adopted language. Compared to current standards, the NMOG+NOx tailpipe standards for light-duty vehicles represent approximately an 80% reduction from today's fleet average and a 70% reduction in per-vehicle PM standards. The emission durability (useful life period) has been extended from 120,000 miles to 150,000 miles.

I have been running a high stakes 5x5 12 team roto league (AL and NL) for many years. We lost a couple teams this year and I have 1 slot available. We hold an online snake draft. This is a highly competitive, active league. We set lineups once per week and there is usually a significant amount of trading. If anyone is interested in learning more, please contact me at email@example.com and I can follow-up with more details including a full league constitution and more info about me so you know this is very legitimate. thanks.
