For a 16-year-old West Virginia girl, last summer ended with a party in Steubenville, just across the river from Weirton. Thrilled to attend, she got in way over her head.
Drunk, she passed out. She woke up the next morning naked and humiliated.
She remembered nothing, but over the next two days put together what happened - thanks in no small part to pictures posted online of two stars of the Steubenville High School football team abusing her naked body.
"They treated her like a toy," said special prosecutor Marianne Hemmeter.
On Sunday, Ohio Special Judge Thomas Lipps found quarterback Trent Mays, 17, and wide receiver Ma'lik Richmond, 16, guilty of charges related to her rape and sent them to juvenile detention facilities.
Mays will serve a minimum of two years to a maximum of four years, when he turns 21. Richmond will serve a minimum of one year to a maximum of five, when he turns 21.
A judge will determine later if they must register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives. Given the way they took advantage of a young woman, that would be appropriate.
Both men expressed remorse upon being found guilty. Tears streamed from Richmond's eyes. But if they really had regrets, they would have pleaded guilty and spared her having to testify before an international press.
Mays and Richmond are far from the only criminals in this horror show.

James Mortimer 15.Sep.2012Getty Images
That term has been given by some players since the state-of-the-art facility opened, and the glasshouse style conditions and noise are part of the trade off from having the elements kept at bay.
With the Zoo likely to have the same vibe about it as seen during Investec Super Rugby - a special section for university students to let their hair down - the volume of the ground may be beyond the near 30,000 expected tonight.
All Blacks captain Richie McCaw said that the team had planned to ensure that their communication remained constant throughout their first clash with the Springboks this season.
"All the guys who have played here this year say whether it's full or not it's noisy regardless," McCaw said.
"It just means you have to get a bit closer to each other and make sure you are heard rather than expect to be heard."
"But it's the same thing for both teams. The big thing is to make sure you don't feel like you are on your own out there. You have to get beside each other when there are breaks in play and make sure you get things dealt with."
Highlanders hooker and starting All Blacks rake Andrew Hore told stuff.co.nz that the team could resort to hand signals, which the men from the Deep South used to counter the volume of the crowd.
"You can't blame the wind but one thing is the noise, getting used to that," Hore said.
"Sometimes quick lineouts, those sorts of moves are hard to get through. With the Highlanders we played around with some hand signals so we'll see what happens."

When I first saw this for Safari, I was hoping I could use it in FF...Thanks for your quick work porting this to FF. It mentioned in the description that FF users might have to do some additional tweaking, but having just installed this, it looks great; maybe I'll discover something after using it for a bit, but it seems to to work right "out of the box" for me.

Borders Cuts E-Reader Prices as Kindle Goes to Staples
More proof, if you needed it, that e-Readers are a busted flush.
Borders has slashed the prices of E-Readers [2] Kobo [3] and Aluratek by $20, illustrating just how meh they've become in the tech world. The price drop is nothing new--both the Kindle and Nook, Amazon and Barnes & Noble's market leaders, have seen their prices slashed recently, and they're thought to be the most exciting brands in the sector. But who does the news bode worst for?
Well, on one front, it shows that Borders is in a bit of trouble (not unlike it's main competitor, which is closing stores [4]). It's throwing everything it's got at the e-Reader market--with iPhone, iPad, Android and BlackBerry apps for the Kobo, as well as a bunch of freebies for consumers willing to back the Borders e-burro. And it's not just up against B&N and Amazon, which has now partnered with Staples [5] to begin selling the Kindle in stores this fall. Both Apple and Google are also ramping up their assault on the printed word, with Apple's iBook store already on the market, and Google Editions on its way.
But most of all, this news proves that, as my colleague Kit Eaton pointed out [6] a few months back, this is about as good as it gets for the e-Reader. It's not quite dead, but it's looking a bit peaky, like. The reason is, of course, the tablet. We all know about the iPad, and at last some competitors seem to be showing [7] their faces. And this, of course, renders the e-Reader if not quite chocolate teapot territory, then one of those crappy ones made out of metal that burn your fingers when you pick it up by the handle.

The Dallas Mavericks' comeback against the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals might have had something to do with this, but tickets to Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Dallas - the first in Big D - are quite expensive.
↵Darren Rovell tweeted earlier Saturday the price of two front row seats to Game 3:
↵↵↵Front row seats a bit off center to the NBA Finals Game 3 in Dallas just sold for $2,650 each.
Not a bad chunk of change there.
↵A quick glance at StubHub shows that the cheapest ticket you can buy for Sunday night's contest is a cool $300. If you're feeling really ritzy, you could spring for the $6,001 (the extra dollar is really necessary) VIP Floor seats.
↵Is any of this surprising? Not at all. Any type of playoff game is expensive, especially a game in the World Series, Stanley Cup, NBA Finals - or the Super Bowl as well for that matter.
↵I'd like to see the prices for Game 5 if the Mavericks can somehow put themselves in a position to clinch the title.

10 Surprising Social Media Statistics That Will Make You Rethink Your Social Strategy
Know what the fastest-growing demographic on Twitter is? Or how many new members join LinkedIn every second? The answers will surprise you!
Editor's Note: This is one of the most-read leadership articles of 2013. Click here to see the full list.
If you're managing social media for your business, it might be useful to know about some of the most surprising social media statistics this year. Here are 10 that might make you rethink the way you're approaching social media.
1. The fastest growing demographic on Twitter is the 55–64 year age bracket.
- This demographic has grown 79% since 2012.
- The 45–54 year age bracket is the fastest growing demographic on both Facebook and Google+.
- For Facebook, this group has jumped 46%.
- For Google+, 56%.
Those are impressive numbers against the prevailing idea that social media is "just for teenagers." It certainly points to the importance of having a solid social media strategy if these age brackets fit into your target demographic.
Rethink it: Keep older users in mind when using social media, particularly on these three platforms. Our age makes a difference to our taste and interests, so if you're focusing on younger users with the content you post, you could be missing an important demographic.
2. 189 million of Facebook's users are "mobile only"
Not only does Facebook have millions of users who don't access it from a desktop or laptop, but mobile use generates 30% of Facebook's ad revenue as well. This is a 7% increase from the end of 2012 already.
Rethink it: There are probably more users accessing Facebook from mobile devices than you thought. It's worth considering how your content displays on mobile devices and smaller screens before posting it, particularly if your target market is full of mobile users. Of course, make sure to make sharing to social media from mobile more straightforward.
3. YouTube reaches more U.S. adults aged 18–34 than any cable network
Did you think TV was the best way to reach the masses? Well if you're after 18–34 year olds in the U.S., you'll have more luck reaching them through YouTube. Of course, one video won't necessarily reach more viewers than a cable network could, but utilizing a platform with such a wide user base makes a lot of sense.
Rethink it: If you've been putting off adding video to your strategy, now's the time to give it a go. You could start small with simple five-minute videos explaining what your company does or introducing your team.
4. Every second two new members join LinkedIn
LinkedIn, the social network for professionals, continues to grow every second. From groups to blogs to job listings, this platform is a rich source of information and conversation for professionals who want to connect to others in their industry.
Rethink it: LinkedIn is definitely worth paying attention to. In particular, this is a place where you may want to focus more on new users. Making your group or community a great source of information and a newbie-friendly space can help you to make the most out of the growing userbase.
Make sure you share consistently to your LinkedIn company page and profile by, for example, scheduling your posts.
5. Social Media has overtaken porn as the No. 1 activity on the web
We all knew social media was popular, but this popular? Apparently it's the most common thing we do online. So next time you find yourself watching Kitten vs. Watermelon videos on Facebook, you can at least console yourself with the fact that the majority of people online right now are doing something similar.
Social media carries more weight than ever. It's clearly not a fad, or a phase. It continues to grow as a habit, and new platforms continue to appear and develop.
Rethink it: Putting time and effort into your social media strategy clearly makes sense in light of these stats. If you weren't already serious about social media, you might want to give it a bit more of your time now.
6. LinkedIn has a lower percentage of active users than Pinterest, Google+, Twitter and Facebook
Although LinkedIn is gathering new users at a fast rate, the number of active users is lower than most of the biggest social networks around. So more people are signing up, but they're not participating. This means you're probably not going to have as good a response with participatory content on LinkedIn, like contests or polls, as you might on Facebook or Twitter.
Rethink it: If you're hoping to get people involved, think about which platforms are best for that. Looking at the latest Twitter statistics and Facebook statistics, these platforms might be a better place for your contest or survey, while passive content like blog posts or slide decks might be just right for your LinkedIn audience.
7. 93% of marketers use social media for business
Only 7% of marketers say they don't use social media for their business. That means there are lots of people out there getting involved and managing a social media strategy. It's becoming more common to include social media as part of an overall marketing budget or strategy, as opposed to when it was the outlier that no one wanted to spend time or money on.
Rethink it: If you're struggling to make your strategy work, or you just want some advice, you don't have to go it alone. If 93% of marketers are using social media for business, you can probably find someone to give you a hand. Plus, there are lots of blogs, videos and slide decks around to help you out. Be sure to find the right social media management tool for you to stay on top of everything.
8. 25% of smartphone owners ages 18–44 say they can't recall the last time their smartphone wasn't next to them
It's pretty clear that mobile is a growing space that we need to pay attention to. And we've all heard the cliché of smartphone owners who don't want to let go of their phones, even for five minutes. Well, apparently that's not too far from the truth. If 25% of people aged 18–44 can't remember not having their phone with them, there are probably very few times when they're not connected to the web in some way.
Rethink it: While you can reach people almost anytime, since they have their smartphones with them almost always, this also means you can interrupt pretty much any part of their lives. Don't forget that having a phone in your pocket all the time isn't the same as being available all the time.
9. Even though 62% of marketers blog or plan to blog in 2013, only 9% of US marketing companies employ a full-time blogger
Blogging is clearly a big focus for marketers who want to take advantage of social media and content marketing. This is great, because blogging for your business has lots of advantages: you can control your company blog, you can set the tone and use it to market your product, share company news or provide interesting information for your customers. With only 9% of marketing companies hiring bloggers full-time, however, the pressure to produce high-quality content consistently will be a lot higher.
What a lot of people struggle here is how to write the best headlines for your articles, when the best time is to publish posts and lots of other blogging questions that arise when people are starting out.
(Of course, not all marketers work at marketing companies, but the stats are still interesting--how many companies in any industry can afford to hire--or already have--a full-time blogger?)
Rethink it: If you don't have (or can't afford) a full-time blogger for your business, be aware that having a content strategy that requires consistently posting on your blog will mean a lot of work for your marketing team and/or other team members in your company to keep up that volume. This can work, it's just important to realize how big a task it is to run with a full-time content strategy without a full-time content creator.
10. 25% of Facebook users don't bother with privacy settings
We've seen a lot of news about social media companies and privacy. Facebook itself has been in the news several times over privacy issues, Instagram users recently got in a kerfuffle over changing their terms of service, and the recent NSA news has seen people become more conscious of their privacy online.
But despite these high-profile cases of security-conscious users pushing back against social networks and web services, Velocity Digital reports that 25% of Facebook users don't even look at their privacy settings.
Rethink it: Assuming that all of your customers are thinking along the same lines could be a big mistake. Especially if you're basing that on what you've heard or read in the tech news. Remember that your customers might have very different priorities than what you expect.
Your social media strategy really comes down to what your goals are, and who your target customers are, but it doesn't hurt to pay attention to the trends happening across the web. Hopefully these stats will help you to identify trends that will affect your strategy and adjust accordingly.

I still think many small businesses don't care. Numbers aren't always the best way to persuade someone to use social media and in the correct way which is a whole other story. I personally think your right and the stats prove it. But there is a disconnect between businesses and social media. Do they care enough to be interested? How can business professionals reach those small businesses that aren't in at this point?
Stat number 5 is from 2007. Be more useful if it was up to date.
Thanks for the statistics! Social networking sites have the potential to boost the effectiveness of the a company's Integrated Marketing communication. http://www.vipwebdesigns.com.ng
Excellent post and I think no need to add more thing i this explanation for social media, but in this artical you explain this with percentage optimization for Facebook and other site so can you please make easy to understand in your next coming Artical.
thanks for your revolutionary overview. Now I decided to do necessary changes to my strategy in social media marketing.
- 93% of marketers use social media for business
Only 7% of marketers say they don't use social media for their business. That means there are lots of people out there getting involved and managing a social media strategy. It's becoming more common to include social media as part of an overall marketing budget or strategy, as opposed to when it was the outlier that no one wanted to spend time or money on.
Can you explain this one a little more. It's a little confusing.
very informative one. specially the facebook mobile user fact. Its striking. thanks a lot. /Miranda, PhotoEditor | clippingpathuk.com
What date was this article written/ the facts taken?
Good information.
Hi there. this is great stuff! This will help a lot! But may I ask what your sources are? :-) Thanks!
I assume this is an error?
"7. 93% OF MARKETERS USE SOCIAL MEDIA FOR BUSINESS Only 7% of marketers say they don't use social media for their business".
I'm sure that someone else has already pointed this out, but I had the same confusion when I first read the article. Let me put it in another form:
"Item Seven. Ninety-three percent of marketers use social media for business..."
Seem more clear now?
Unfortunately for those marketers and brands who have put most of their social media marketing eggs in the Facebook basket, many are discovering precipitously declining reach, thanks to new FB algorithms. Facebook now favoring pay for play? It seems so. For marketers, it's time to explore the plethora of other social media opportunities available to them, and fast!
While Google+ is growing fast, as many commenters have pointed out, the stats are skewed due to the way Google signs people up for the platform. Google needs to do a much better job of promoting Google+ virtues. That being said, active users are growing, as people migrate from FB and look for alternatives.
My company would use Google+ more aggressively, but there is a typo in our name and we can't change it. A response from Google+ about our multiple requests? Nope.
I know what you mean! I would like to link to my Google+ page, not my Google+ profile, when I click to share Links on Google+, but so far haven't managed to achieve that yet!
Plus ads shown on youtube vids when the option NOT to show ads has been selected. They are not supposed to show ads where 3rd party content has been confirmed anyway, yet ads are still displaying!
Reported 1-2 weeks ago, but apparently they don't get back to everyone - not even when they are breaking their own copyright terms!
If you want to check this out, you can still see ads showing at the mo (which they are not paying for by the way!!)
Visit http://999mechanic.co.uk to view evidence: Scroll down the home page for short 2 min 'Secrets to Riches' video (+ unwanted ads!)
If I were you, Suzanne, I would create a new Google+ profile with correct spelling and delete the old one. Hope this helps? If anyone has any advice for me, please let me know!! Thanks.
Great post full of great information.

Indy 500 Traditions
Since the inaugural race in 1911, the Indianapolis 500 has become steeped in rich tradition, one of the most alluring aspects of "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing."
Here is the history of some of the most popular and enduring traditions of the Indianapolis 500:
500 Festival Parade
The 500 Festival Parade took place for the first time in 1957. It, and several other related activities, largely came about following a series of newspaper editorials by local columnists over a two- or three-year period, who had witnessed the several-day celebration in advance of the Kentucky Derby.
"Back Home Again in Indiana"
Although there are reports that "Indiana," as the song was originally titled when published in 1917, was played by a trackside brass band as Hoosier driver Howdy Wilcox ran out his final laps on the way to winning the 1919 "500," it was not until 1946 that it was sung on race morning. James Melton, of the New York Metropolitan Opera Company, was a collector of classic cars, and was at one time president of the Antique Automobile Club of America. He supplied several of the vehicles which participated in a race-morning lap of classic automobiles around the track in 1946, and approximately 45 minutes before the start of the race, he sang "Indiana" with the Purdue University band over the public address system. It was so well received that he was invited back the following year, and in 1948, it was decided to "move it up" to its current slot in the order of the day, just prior to the firing of the engines. Among Melton's better-known successors have been Mel Tormé, Vic Damone, Dinah Shore, Ed Ames, Peter Marshall, Dennis Morgan and Johnny Desmond, with popular Jim Nabors having missed only a handful of years since 1972.
Balloons Before the Start
It is believed that 1947 was the first year for the release of multi-colored balloons on race morning and that it was Tony Hulman's wife, Mary Fendrich Hulman, who made the suggestion. By 1950, the release had been timed to coincide, as it does to this day, with the final notes of "Back Home Again In Indiana."
Borg-Warner Trophy
The Borg-Warner Trophy, one of the most recognizable trophies in all of sports, has been awarded to the winner of every Indianapolis 500-Mile Race since 1936. Crafted out of sterling silver by Spaulding-Gorham of Chicago, it was unveiled at a dinner in New York in February 1936, featuring bas-relief sculptures of every "500" winner up until that time. The new winner has been added every year since, and in 1986 (the trophy's 50th anniversary), the final space became filled. The solution for 1987 was to add a base, but this too became filled, and in 2004, an even larger version replaced it, this one with enough spaces to last through 2034. The only sculptured face not of a winning driver is that of the late Speedway owner Tony Hulman, whose likeness, in gold, was placed on the base in 1987. Read more.

Paul Rothbein
In My Own Words
Paul Rothbein is a freelance Internet marketing consultant, and also a part-time speaker for the Epilepsy Foundation of Texas. He lives in Dallas.
Having epilepsy was a topic I ignored most of my life because of the embarrassment I felt when other people knew I had epilepsy. I was bullied in high school and kids called me "seizure boy." Until recently, there has been a lack of education in public schools about bullying children with epilepsy. However, that is beginning to change with epilepsy education programs in public schools. Several Epilepsy Foundation affiliates have been working with The Anita Kaufman Foundation— whose mission is teaching the public not to fear people with epilepsy— to educate 5th graders about epilepsy in Metropolitan New York.
When I began looking for an after-school job in high school and college, I was told not to let the employers find out that I have epilepsy because it could prevent me from being hired. Even with the protection of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), having epilepsy in today's society can risk equal opportunity employment as many employers are able to find loopholes to deny employment for people with epilepsy. Obviously, that should not be the case. This is just as bad as discriminating against someone for their religion, race or ethnicity.
I feel no need to hide my epilepsy from an employer— even if that means I risk receiving equal opportunity employment. I refuse to work for a company that discriminates against people with epilepsy. A good company to work for embraces diversity. Supporting the rights of people with epilepsy has served me well—emotionally and professionally—and it happened to me unexpectedly, but not by accident. I believe it is a result of good karma. A few years ago, I spoke about epilepsy on behalf of the Anita Kaufman Foundation at the same high school where I was bullied as a student. Because I am shy, speaking in front of hundreds of people was not easy. I even showed a hospital video of myself—in front of the entire school— having a tonic-clonic seizure. The kids in the audience were mesmerized because most of them had never seen someone having a seizure. Did the kids make fun or laugh at me after hearing me speak about my epilepsy or seeing the video of me having a seizure? No. My talk and the video brought awareness about epilepsy and helped people understand that people with epilepsy are no different from anyone else. My talk gave me newfound confidence and also helped me get a job with a publication for people with special needs because the magazine's editor was in the audience and was impressed with my presentation. They say that silence is golden. That is not the case when it comes to spreading awareness. Silence will lead us nowhere.
Although my epilepsy is controlled, I must take two antiseizure medications daily and will probably need to be medicated for the rest of my life if there is not a cure found for epilepsy. The medications have been a challenge. Some of the side effects of the medications caused severe irritability and resulted in anger management issues, which impaired my social life. I mentioned this to my neurologist, Dr. Orrin Devinsky, and he prescribed a third medication to control the side effects of the antiseizure medications. I am grateful that the medications control my epilepsy and most, but not all, of the sideeffects. Recently, however, I was denied coverage for an individual health care plan as a result of the numerous epilepsy medications I take, despite the fact that I have been seizure-free for 8 years. I hope there is some type of health care reform which will no longer make this type of discriminatory behavior legally possible. I have been seizure-free for 8 years because Dr. Devinsky pinpointed the focal point of my seizures and prescribed the medications to control them. I am lucky to have a really good neurologist, and I travel all the way from Dallas to New York City to see him because he is so terrific.
Having epilepsy is a disability and it is a part of my life. It is something I have. It is not a definition of who I am. We all have disabilities—some minor, some major— and we should recognize people for what they do, not for what they have. There are many famous, accomplished people who have epilepsy. Everyone recognizes Van Gogh as an artist first and as someone with epilepsy second, if at all. Tony Coelho, former congressman, principal author of the ADA and former board chair of the Epilepsy Foundation, has epilepsy. There are almost 3 million people in the United States who have epilepsy. They come from all walks of life.
Living with epilepsy has taught me to face difficult challenges and overcome the obstacles that have been placed before me. The upside of having epilepsy is that it has made me a strong person who is prepared to face the challenges that come with living in today's complicated world.
The In My Own Words column gives people whose lives are affected by epilepsy the chance to share experiences and solutions to their problems. These are real stories by real people that show strength, resilience, optimism and courage. We hope they will inspire others.

► RIP-seq technique enables capturing genome-wide Polycomb-bound RNAs ► PRC2 interacts with a family of >9000 RNAs ► RNAs occur within imprinted, oncogene/tumor suppressor, and stem-cell loci ► Gtl2 controls Dlk1 imprinting by targeting PRC2
Polycomb proteins play essential roles in stem cell renewal and human disease. Recent studies of HOX genes and X inactivation have provided evidence for RNA cofactors in Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). Here we develop a RIP-seq method to capture the PRC2 transcriptome and identify a genome-wide pool of >9000 PRC2-interacting RNAs in embryonic stem cells. The transcriptome includes antisense, intergenic, and promoter-associated transcripts, as well as many unannotated RNAs. A large number of transcripts occur within imprinted regions, oncogene and tumor suppressor loci, and stem cell-related bivalent domains. We provide evidence for direct RNA-protein interactions, most likely via the Ezh2 subunit. We also identify Gtl2 RNA as a PRC2 cofactor that directs PRC2 to the reciprocally imprinted Dlk1 coding gene. Thus, Polycomb proteins interact with a genome-wide family of RNAs, some of which may be used as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for human disease.

Starting at | Starting at 21 MPG City - 29 MPG Highway
With room for four, a sport-tuned suspension and styling reminiscent of Volvo's 1800ES of the 1970s, the 2012 Volvo C30 appeals to a wide range of buyers. And just because it's fun doesn't mean it can't be responsible; Volvo's reputation for safety and reliability puts it at the top of its class among other small cars priced under $30k.
For 2012, the Volvo C30 sees some of its trim and options packages revised, with the introduction of Premier Plus and Platinum trims available for both T5 and R-Design models.
The 2-door C30 is a premium compact featuring a prominent glass rear hatch like the 1800ES wagon of the early 1970s. It's the smallest car available in Volvo's lineup and last year's major exterior styling updates help to differentiate it from Volvo's S40 sedan and V50 wagon.

Sensational Szechwan Chicken is one of our most-requested recipes, but at 61 g of fat and 890 calories per serving, an overhaul was overdue! This lightened-up version has 11 g of fat and only 280 calories per serving.
Sensational Szechwan Chicken - Light
Salad Mimosa
Finely chopped hard-boiled egg makes this salad look like mimosa flowers, hence the name. Instead of chopping the egg, you can use a ricer if you have one. Keep the white and yolk separate for a particularly striking presentation.
Oh You Sweet Lovely Fool
Fool hails from England, and traditionally is made from fruit folded into whipped cream. We've lightened our pineapple fool by using yogurt.
Sweet Corn and Crab Soup
To get filmy and light strands of egg, the soup should be simmering. If the soup's at a hard boil, the egg gets scrambled and rubbery.

SPEC Kit 328 gathers information about what collaborative teaching and learning tools are currently being offered to users in ARL member libraries. It covers questions on which kinds of tools are offered, how many, and why, where they are located, who may use them, the sources of funding, who provides training and support, and what techniques are used to promote and evaluate the tools. For the purpose of this survey, "collaborative teaching and learning tools" are limited to the equipment, devices, or systems being offered to research library users in a self-service environment including, but not limited to, the following: interactive whiteboards (IWBs, e.g., SMART Board), touchscreen tablet computers (e.g., iPads), classroom/audience response system (e.g., clickers), interactive learning centers (e.g., TouchTables), and Wii gaming systems. This SPEC Kit includes documentation from respondents that describe available equipment and services, loan policies, instructions for using equipment, and materials promoting the services.
This publication is available for purchase in both online and print versions. Download the spec-kit-purchase-options-2013.pdf for complete pricing and purchase options information.

RLI issue 277 includes:
SPEC Kit 327 investigates whether and how ARL member libraries have reconfigured staffed service delivery points in the main library and in any branches that report to the main library. It explores whether service points and/or branches have been added, closed, or consolidated; the drivers for those decisions; the impacts on staff; the changes in delivery methods; and whether there have been any collaborations with other institutions or consortia, or outsourcing of service delivery. It also explores user involvement in the planning for service changes and whether the effectiveness of new service configurations has been assessed. The survey used a case study approach to reveal developing patterns, unique applications, and anticipated changes in the physical or organizational arrangement of service delivery that may be widely adaptable in other libraries so that they can continue to be the primary information providers for their constituents. This SPEC Kit includes documentation from respondents that describes the service philosophy, services offered, planning process, and communications about service changes. Also included are floorplans and images of redesigned spaces.

SPEC Kit 326 provides a snapshot of research library experiences with digital scholarship centers or services that support the humanities (e.g., history, art, music, film, literature, philosophy, religion, etc.) and the benefits and challenges of hosting them. The survey asked ARL libraries about the organization of these services, how they are staffed and funded, what services they offer and to whom, what technical infrastructure is provided, whether the library manages or archives the digital resources produced, and how services are assessed, among other questions. This SPEC Kit includes documentation from respondents that describes the mission or purpose of digital humanities centers, the services offered, policies and procedures, examples of digital projects, fellowship and grant opportunities, promotional materials, and repositories for digital projects.
Link to the online SPEC Kit 326 on the ARL Digital Publications website.
SPEC Kit 325 explores the strategies that ARL member institutions use to protect evolving research collections and the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders. The survey asked ARL libraries about their digital content, their strategies for preserving that content, and the staff, time, and funding they currently devote to digital preservation. It also asked each responding library to compare its digital preservation activities of three years ago to current activities and project three years into the future. In addition, to better understand the roles of research libraries in the emergent field of digital curation, the survey sought to identify issues that are and are not being addressed through current practices and policies. This SPEC Kit includes documentation from respondents that describes policies, procedures, and guidelines for digital preservation, cooperative agreements, job descriptions, and data management services.

06/09/2010 - A field worker has unwashed hands. An animal squeezes through a small tear in a fence. Manure from a nearby hog farm trickles into an irrigation system.Small mistakes like these are often difficult to identify as the sources of food-borne illnesses, a situation that has frustrated health authorities for years. The Food and Drug Administration and other agencies gather information about a contamination outbreak after people have already been sickened, and their investigations into what went wrong come well after the crucial evidence is gone.Few rules are on the books that require preventive steps to make many foods — produce in particular — safer. The FDA now hopes to change that through sweeping rules designed to more closely track how growers, packers, shippers, distributors and retailers handle the produce Americans eat as it courses from the farm to consumer's tables.Coupled with legislation that would give the FDA more enforcement power across the board, the changes could be some of the most significant improvements to the food safety system in decades...."There needs to be a system that can both track that food and also give us some assurance that it is being properly processed and handled along that journey," said Erik Olson, director of food and consumer product safety at the Pew Health Group. "Any weak link in the chain can cause a problem."Read the full article, Inside Washington: After Years of Outbreaks, FDA Steps Up Oversight of Produce Safety, on the Science News Web site.Pew is no longer active in this line of work, but for more information visit the Produce Safety Project's Web site, or visit the Produce Safety Project on PewHealth.org.

Red Wolves Stacked in the Back |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
Six different Red Wolves have started at wing for Arkansas State this season -- David Caswell, Tom Haussrer, James Ritenour, Dale Bates, James Cobble and Josh Chomieszewski. Caswell's season ended earlier this year with a sports hernia, but all of the other wings are healthy and up for selection for the National Championship game against BYU. When Arkansas State played BYU in the semifinals last year, Roland Evans started on the wing. The four-time All American made his name as a loose forward, but played well for the Red Wolves on the wing. Steyn Benade, the RUGBYMag All American flanker, could find himself playing on the wing this weekend, said ASU coach Matt Huckaby. Benade scored three tries on the wing for the South all-stars in their NASC run last year. |

A few months after purchase, the machine started exhibiting increasingly louder levels of noise, both from what turned out to be defective brakes, and from what seems to be inadequate design to prevent unbalance and simply overall noise. The unit would literally vibrate so badly that it would move inside its closet under some conditions; we obviously cannot leave the unit unattended if in use, which is extremely inconvenient. To be noted, we've been careful to even out the loads, avoid overload, and basically experimented multiple times to see if we're doing something wrong. The overall sound levels would be so bad that we're left wondering if this was ever thought to be used inside an inhabited house. The conclusion is that this a a cheaply made, marginally usable unit which to date, we're unsure if it's been maligned with a manufacturing defect (we've had it thoroughly serviced to get this possibility out of the way), or this is just what the unit is capable by design. Very dissatisfied.

Comments about Whirlpool 24" Stack Washer With Gas Dryer:
An excellent product for tight spaces. Does an outstanding job of washing and drying slightly smaller loads. Is not noisy.
Comment on this review
This product is fine.
By clubfoot
from New Jersey
Having very limited space I had not much choice. The company had discontinued the model I had , the washer broke though the dryer still worked, so since this piggyback unit was all that would fit it is what I bought. I like that the washer opens at the top and not a front loader since I'm getting older and have a bad back. It has all the features anyone could need and though it is small you do smaller loads.

I was pretty limited with space availability, this product was the only ray of light in a dark tunnel of helpless search for laundry machine.
Very disappointed.
By Joseyrosie5
from Undisclosed
We are a retired couple, thus do not have large amounts of laundry. While the washer unit is satisfactory, the dryer is AWFUL! Even when we run the dryer cycle for three towels, for example, we have to run the cycle twice. Even then, the towels are not dry. We end up having to spread out the semi-dry items on the beds to get them completely dry. The service provider and salesman told us, essentially, that that is just the way it is.

An update of the classic we had.
By washman
This is actually an update of our old stacked unit (actually a Kenmore built by Whirlpool) which served us for 19 years, so this was a repeat purchase. We did shop around, but decided to stick with what we had and were glad to see it is still in production! We live in a 24 X 44 mobile home of less than 1,000 square feet and the stacked combo saves on floor space, plus my wife is fairly short and cannot reach the bottom of the washer or the back of the dryer of other stacked units. The agitator has been redesigned and the cycles run faster (without the pauses between functions) so I can tell the machine is evolving.
This washer dryer is easy to use

Panasonic designs Venus-worthy image sensor
I love press releases for really geeky stuff like image sensors, especially the releases declaring amazing breakthroughs. They're fun because there's usually some really interesting development buried in it, but the people who write the releases have no idea what it is. Ditto for many of the Web sites that write about them. So you end up with some verbatim quotes that are so dense, an electron couldn't tunnel through them. This brings me to today's announcement from Panasonic, featuring a rugged, new image sensor designed to withstand the deterioration caused by weather, heat, and ultraviolet … Read more
