I know its Labour Day around the world but my god is quiet today, wouldnt be surprised if an update has rolled out also.

wilburforce didn't say anything about sites with "tarnished histories". But getting back to the discussion about Penguin, maybe the best way for Google to fix it would be to throw it onto their garbage pile.

On the other hand, an algorithm that takes a site's overall trust, history, etc. into account could go a long way toward minimizing the effects of "negative SEO"--at least for the truly innocent.
Your statement overlooks the fact that there are many new businesses created each day, many of which will be seeking an online presence. These new businesses lack any history, yet are susceptible to the adverse effects of negative SEO. I concede that my business is also susceptible to negative SEO. Although we have a history of being in business for years, I don't feel Google can accurately gauge trust with anymore precision than they do in finding/promoting quality content. Google's heavy reliance on positive/negative linking signals, for their ranking criteria, has and will continue to suppress quality content. If content is not king, it can be no other way. This is why, in my opinion, we see so many search results from household names and not the small businesses that offer the same product with higher levels of personal customer service, and competitive price points.
Fortunately what we retail can't be purchased anywhere and is manufactured by us. While other areas of our website have rode Google's never ending roller coaster ride in the search results, our bread and butter can't be replaced by Google with Amazon, Ebay and the other household names that have taken over much of the ecommerce world.

Let's say, just for the sake of discussion, that your main competitor's site has a history of penalties and is in a "yellow zone" in terms of what Google might consider to be spam factors.
Your site has never had a penalty and is solidly in the spamminess "green zone".
If all other things are equal
, then common sense and probability would suggest that Google should rank your site higher than your competitor's. Why? Because you're likely to be offering a better user experience, and in tiebreaking situations, Google might as well favor site owners who practice good behavior.

We also have to remember not every business owner is a webmaster, so if hit with a penalty it could just be fact of bad judgement on hiring the people that got the site banned in the first time.
8 Months is way too long to wait and a softer penguin should be run on an successful reconsideration taking history into account (of course repeat offenders excluded)
My story was i was a business owner that hired the most prominent seo company in my sector, they were by far not the cheapest and their portfolio was exceptional and ranked first position on google.. needless to say they lost me that business and went bust themselves
There are times when sites are innocent, not innocent of bad links but of bad choices using the people that Google ranked at the time.
Harsh lessons learnt just glad i was not a massive business that had lots of staff to think about
That said i totally agree with the anti spam algo's as the web is a mess but having to rely on a twice a year update is not good for business

@Shepherd: same here. but not all author images are missing. a few still show. not sure what the connection is, since they have different hits, followers and different types of tag-implementation.

Sorry EG, this is just ridiculous. I've reviewed thousands of sites over the years having (and still running) some industry directories. The vast majority (i.e. 99%) of small to medium size business sites are completely vulnerable to negative SEO. When you see their link profiles, you tend to see one of three things with SME websites:-
1. a backlink profile that's virtually non-existant since they didn't engage in any SEO, and most small businesses - however "white hat" SEOs love to hype on about how any site can win pristine-clean and authority links purely with content - do NOT garner links. Most people don't care to link to such sites naturally.
2. they're on a new domain - they haven't even had a chance to even build a history
3. I concede that of course some SMEs will have engaged in SEO practices - of course! But even these sites are still vulnerable to negative SEO since they simply won't win authority links anyway (which would protect them from neg-SEO).
ALL OF THE ABOVE are 100% vulnerable to negative SEO, including 3) - because even if they clean up their own links, they can't stop 3rd parties piling on dodgy links. SMEs are basically vulnerable to negative SEO regardless of their actual history. They don't win authority links in the main, nor display stellar "brand signals" even if they do have a fantastic reputation in the small target market they cater to.
The really annoying thing is that a lot of these businesses have actually been around for years or even decades, and have much better offline reputations. And no, this does not magically translate to a flurry of natural links coming in like tossed roses.

100% with COS, we both deal in the exact same sites and most clients in this area have very few links 'naturally' 10-20 if that, most have none to start out with other than the SEO report crap that builds up naturally over time! Many people forget these are 90% of the sites that make up the internet and I would assume very much prone to a neg attack!
I'm currently testing a few sites I put up and purposely brought negative SEO services for through google advertisers, when penguin refreshes I'll know if it can or can't be done for sure, right now I can only guess and is say neg seo is VERY easy for any site that isn't a pretty well known brand!

Exactly, and it's laughable when I keep hearing the one-size-fits-all advice of writing stellar content and waiting for links to come in, and being a success online that way. Most SMEs are sought after for their services or products, not their brochures, even if that's the only proxy (the brochure i.e. the website) that Google can measure - and even then, they use a secondary proxy (links) to measure the primary proxy (the brochure); meanwhile, visitors just care about the service/product the SME provides.

Nice post about SMBs, COS. I've said it before, but linking from websites was never a thing that was widely done among Internet users. Sure, you might get a link here or there from a forum user or later a blog commenter, but most links came and continue to come from website owners and semi- to professional contributors. With the rise of mobile and apps, the situation is even worse.
To even get a high-quality link, you either had to seek it out or maybe do something that would be noticed by local, regional, or national news media. But another problem: I've found getting links from the news media is a highly unreliable thing at best. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. And now, as I understand it, they're starting to no-follow their editorial links, so they're useless for SEO.
Small businesses, by and large, don't have time for SEO since they're too busy running their businesses. So they hire SEO companies to do the work, but as we all know that's sometimes a risky bet that has gotten many sites slapped later on.
It's definitely a tough situation, which I think Google realizes but doesn't have a great plan to address at this time. Maybe in a few years, but until then this is the mess we have.

In ten years Google will have perfected their answer machine. Remember, Google is not our friend where they want to please us. Google feels successful as long as Google is making money. That is their agenda, anything else is wishful fantasy.

Although, of course, small businesses without high authority were/are vulnerable to backlink-based negative SEO, that isn't the only issue that arises from backlink-based penalties.
Sites that in the past fared well in Google SERPs - being found easily by anyone using or testing a key term - tended to generate weak backlinks of three principal kinds:
1. Those who wanted to share their content through forums and blogs or as references in their own lower-authority content;
2. Those who wanted to enhance their own authority by linking to them;
3. DMOZ and directory scrapers wishing to present their own content as valid.
All of these are potential Penguin vulnerabilities, as the backlinks generated are typically of low authority, and look "unnatural" to a number-cruncher because in the first case they are concentrated on the subject matter (and therefore look similar and have a low spread of anchor-text), while in the other two they are very numerous, of low relevance, and typically (certainly in the case of the thousands my site attracted in over a decade) use identical or at least very similar anchor-text.
Tell all the successful black-hatters at the bottom of page 1 that they can remove the top 9 by tipping the balance of doubt against them with a linking campaign, and you add to this the effect of a negative SEO free-for-all.
Ironically, one of my competitors who was least affected by Penguin had self-posted links to his site on hundreds of forums and blogs, covering every subject from Aardvark Rearing to Zulu Anthropology. I suspect the algorithm found "natural" the wide variety in linking sites and anchor-text (the latter intentionally covering all conceiveable search terms). If your spamming fits that model, you will probably get away with it, but if your Home page is titled Wilburforce's Widget-Rendering then you can kiss goodbye to Widget-Rendering.
It is not the case that Penguin was effective against actual spammers, or that it spared ("innocent") white-hat sites with high-quality content.

Only Google knows how effective Penguin has been, or what degree of collateral damage it caused. The important thing to remember is that, for Google, Penguin wasn't a one-off or even a "two-off." It will continue to evolve, just as Panda has continued to evolve. Google takes a long view, and Penguin (again, like Panda) is a work in progress.

Anyone else notice the change in the SERPS today? Seems like the Panda flux continues. Panda starting in March 2013 was supposed to last up to 10 days, I wonder if that is the case now to with the newest version.
We saw a huge boost of about 250% last week, this week we are up about 15% from last weeks boost. Today rankings continued to rise, not sure what the referrals increase will be yet.
2:05 am on May 30, 2014

SnowMan68, I'm seeing a similar pattern. Big "Google organic traffic" boost last week, smaller additional boost this week. (Today's Google traffic boost was smaller than yesterday's, possibly because of the Ascension Day holiday in many countries.)

Same pattern here. Way up last week and up slightly more this week. Cutts also said this would act as the groundwork for more to come...

Mine was up quite well last week but has dropped back to previous levels end of last week / start of this. Longtail has seen an increase (which may have stuck - it's difficult to tell) but my previously stable "main" keywords have all slipped. Is anyone else seeing anything like this? It doesn't seem to fit with everyone else's experience.

No, my main key terms seem to be holding for now (and traffic is much better than before 19 May, in spite of the UK public holiday on Monday and current school break).
A couple of people have reported signs of something happening this week, but I'm not seeing it here (UK niche service), and it looks pretty quiet from the Mozcast Weather Report:
8:59 am on May 30, 2014
(gmt 0)
Yes, traffic seems to be up (probably due to the additional longtail stuff) but my main KW's have all dropped at least 1 place at most 1 page. My competitors, as ever, are seemingly bullet proof!

Just out of curiosity, but how do you all read into this? Judging by many of the comments on this thread, many have seen the benefits of the softer side of P4 already, but do you think 'lay[ing] groundwork for future iterations' implies that the Panda baseline will continue to soften over time?
10:10 am on May 30, 2014
(gmt 0)
do you think 'lay[ing] groundwork for future iterations' implies that the Panda baseline will continue to soften over time?
No, I think it means it will change over time as a result of evaulation and further refinement, and could go either way (and inevitably those sites that benefit will do so at the expense of those that don't).
Certainly the results in my sector (and for my site) look better, and on my own personal searches they generally look better too (although I'm still using Bing by default).
Having said that, I searched from my phone for a specific hotel on Tuesday, and 9 of the top 10 Google results were
1. YouTube, and
2. of no relevance that made sense to me.
Clearly, therefore, the improvements - such as they are - do not extend to all platforms, searches and sectors.

Whether Panda 4.0 and its successors are "softer" than earlier Pandas is likely to be in the eye of the beholder. In my little corner of the Web, Panda 4.0 has given a boost to expert niche sites at the expense of broad-but-shallow megasites, making the results closer to what they were before Panda 1.0. I don't see that as a "softening" of Panda: I'd simply call it a "change," with more weight being given to subject expertise (as determined by Google) and less to "big brand" signals.

My own author images are still showing. Maybe there is a threshold with those also.
I have a client hit by negative SEO from a competitor. He buys thousands of links every spring (my client's busiest sales period) and points them at my client. However, this time my client found out where he bought them and sent the proof to Google. the negative SEO guy's site is under water now.

Possibly something else is rolling through. My site still seems to be holding position on google.com, but international traffic has fallen slightly.
However, I am now seeing further gains on google.co.uk (back on page 1 for main key term, in spite of a relatively distant search location), and a spike in UK traffic.
Again, I hope this holds.

My client found out the neg seo guy bought 10s of thousands of links from ebay and all of a sudden his own site had 10s of thousands of new BAD links. He'd been watching his antics for years and finally caught him in the act.
12:13 am on May 31, 2014

Slowly but surely over the last week or so I've watched the big brands with their single page boilerplate junk returning back to the top for the major search terms in my niches. A lot of excellent, dedicated sites which re-appeared in the update have slipped back into oblivion. Mediocrity seems to be re-asserting it's rule I'm afraid.

This UC3906 battery charger controller contains all of the necessary circuitry to control the charge and hold cycle for sealed lead-acid batteries. The UC3906 battery charger circuit is specifically designed to provide the proper charging voltage and current determined by the temperature and state of charge of the battery.
The UC3906 battery charger circuit controller monitor and control both the output voltage and current of the charger through three separate charge states .
UC3906 has separate voltage loop and current limit amplifiers which regulate the output voltage and current levels in the charger by controlling the onboard driver.The charger circuit requires 18 to 22 volts DC input. Three optical ( LED ) indicators show the charge state . This IC is configured to provide three charge states:
Bulk charge – the charger operates in a constant-current charge mode until the battery reaches the programmed full-charge voltage.
Overcharge – when the voltage reaches the programmed full-charge voltage, the charger switches to overcharge mode to 'top-off' the battery.

 that kids going to be a politician when he grows up
 and ppl R pissed at the teachers for not learning their kids anything???? more like the teachers need to be able to tell the parents off too
 you mean a gold sun for todays youth
5 people liked the comment that corrected him but no one like his stupid comments. That's funny.
I'm surprised this kid has a teacher at all being as dumb as he is. You'd think he wasn't even in school. "...same as saying a tomato is a fruit." This makes me think that the kid is just joking. If he's not then, wow! He's dumb.Â
 Now Im really interested to meet this person
Comment-Bot says "I have no comment!" Â
 So stupid it's suspicious.
 last part is the best, since it is a fruit loooool
 And people actually wonder why the Japanese are kickin our ass in the world market. Plus this dipshits parents probably made sure he/she feels "special"!
 i dont want to live on this planet anymore...
 Break did get trolled.
Break got trolled.

Birmingham City – AEC Regent III RT – GOE 631 – 1631
Birmingham City Transport
AEC Regent III RT
Park Royal H54R
Having sent some bus ticket shots to the 'Old Bus Tickets' website I was looking at the 'Old Bus Photo' section (again) and thought you might like to add a picture of probably my all time favourite bus of my youth. The Birmingham Corporation Transport Park Royal bodied Regent III (RT type) GOE 631 Fleet number 1631. There were only 15 (GOE 631-645) purchased in 1947 and most of them did sterling work until withdrawal in 1963/4. Sadly none were saved for preservation, this is from an original publicity photo I own, and shows the very attractive lines of this vehicle – at its best just after introduction into service.
Photograph and Copy contributed by Nigel Edwards
Why, I wondered, such an old fashioned body design?
It's not, except for…. that raked back windscreen, the high-level driver's door, the narrow lower deck windows and that funny mid-band a foot higher than it should be..then there's those wobbly-looking front wheels and the lop-sided headlamps: If the "dipped" one is on the left, why is it higher than the right one? No doubt that's how we always did it…
It's not so much an old-fashioned design as the lack of "joined up thinking".
The standard London Transport RT was designed as a whole vehicle but when provincial bodies were fitted, what was standard in the provinces didn't properly marry with a chassis not generally available outside London and, indeed, designed specifically for London.
For the most part, the Birmingham body would not look out of place on a provincial Regent III – and would have looked more modern than the standard Birmingham body on more usual Crossley, Daimler or Guy chassis which originated pre WW II.

I have to admit that until now it had not occurred to me that these 15 vehicles looked 'wrong'. Certainly they looked seriously different to the rest of Birmingham's post-war fleet but to me they were all the more likeable because of it! One possible reason for the odd looking front-end is that at the time Birmingham were very much into the idea of sloping windscreens to reduce internal reflection (an idea much favoured by Midland Red at the time) – although I don't quite see the truth of that in a half-cab vehicle with the blinds lowered behind the driver at night.
It is worth noting that when Park Royal supplied a further 50 bodies, this time on Leyland PD2/1 chassis (2181-2230, JOJ 181-230), the raked windscreen was gone and the result was a joy to behold. They looked right!
26/08/11 – 07:08
The correct title of the undertaking, was Birmingham City Transport, I remember these buses well, on short workings of route 11 the Outer Circle, between the Fox and Goose at Ward End and the Bull at Stechford on the way to school. These buses I believe were originally ordered for delivery in 1941/2 but received after the war ended.
I disagree with David Oldfield, these buses always looked dated compared to the rest of the post war fleet especially the new look ones. These buses were built to BCT specifications, the other Park Royal bodied buses, Leyland PD2s with flat screens were bought off the shelf to the body builders standard specs! These were magnificent vehicles. One survives fleet number 2222 (JOJ 222) and is currently being restored at the Aston Manor Transport Museum in Birmingham.
The Regents spent virtually all their lives at Acocks Green garage, and were non-standard with air brakes, air gear changes and wind up windows plus other unusual features. I believe 3 of the batch worked out of Barford Street depot early on in their lives on route 8 the Inner Circle.
Like all BCT buses these were kept spotlessly clean and excellently maintained, never a dented panel in sight, shame the operators of today do not value their buses so highly!
This is a great site and I will send some photos of that other great operator from my childhood in Birmingham – Midland Red.
Robert Hayles
26/08/11 – 18:07
It might be the LATE Aston Manor Transport Museum, since it has just closed after an interminable wrangle over high rent for the buildings and an exorbitant price the council have quoted for the purchase of it.
Let's hope the matter can be resolved. Were the museum to continue with the rental option, it would have to charge £8 a time for entry! If it's not resolved, they have to be out by end-December.

1631-1645 were very different from the standard Birmingham bus and were reputably bought as replacements for AEC Regents that were going to be ordered, but never were for delivery in 1941. RT 19 was demonstrated to BCT between 7/6/41 and 7/7/41 and these RTs were the result. They spent their lives at Acocks Green garage, although the last four were allocated to Barford Street in 1948 for a rather unsuccessful stint on the busy Inner Circle route. The bodies were more or less the standard four-bay Park Royal thin pillared body of the time but were heavily modified with BCT fixtures and fittings. The RT chassis had air-brakes which BCT engineers did not like and the braking standards on the batch were always dubious. This resulted in the buses having a wide range of brake modifications including being fitted with disc brakes. They were lovely to ride-in but a lot of Acocks Green drivers did not like them because of their poor stopping performance. By the time they were taken out of service, no two of the fifteen buses were the same with experiments with exhauster brakes, sealed radiators, Monocontrol gearboxes and straight through exhaust pipes. They were used on the 44 and 31 and 32 routes, but were only used on short workings on the Outer Circle 11 route as i, they had none-standard staircases which were not considered safe for passengers not already used to them and ii, if drivers had to be relieved by one from another garage which worked on the 11 route, the chances were that they were not passed to drive the RTs! Curiously enough the last one to be withdrawn, 1641, was the only postwar bus to be withdrawn by BCT on Leap Year Day, in this case in 1964.
David Harvey
03/12/11 – 14:31
Thx, David, for that fascinating background information. The braking shortcomings are intriguing, since London traffic conditions was equally as challenging as Birmingham's, if not more. I wonder if the bodies were heavier than London Transport's 7.5 tons. Although the 8′ wide RTW's were heavier, I am not aware that their brakes were beefed up! A mystery indeed.
Chris Hebbron
03/12/11 – 16:40
Strange – I am sure I read somewhere that contemporary Daimlers, of which Birmingham had many, were notoriously weak in the braking department. On the other hand, AEC Regent IIIs (whether RT or the provincial type) seemed to find very wide acceptance throughout the land. Many municipal operators went back again and again for repeat orders. To a mere user, they always seemed utterly competent.
Stephen Ford
04/12/11 – 07:42
Birmingham's Guys were the ones which suffered from brake fade especially on the Bristol Road routes operated by Selly Oak. It was for this reason that eventually all new look front buses had their front wings shortened. The buses with the best brakes were Crossleys, but these could have very heavy steering if it wasn't greased properly. The braking on Daimler CVG6 et al were considered to be good, though the exposed radiator ones always seemed to be sharper on the brakes that the new look front ones. We thought at the time that it was just a more sophisticated system!
The AEC Regent 0961 RTs weighed 7 tons 16 cwt but brakes were always a problem.
David Harvey
30/03/12 – 07:11
Re Birmingham RTs – A friend who drove them says that the brakes were fine. Early on they had a problem with RP automatic adjusters causing the brakes to stick on but the problem was solved with a slight adjustment to brake shoe clearances. A similar problem cropped up with the Halifax examples but apparently St Helens reported no problems.
Alan Bond
13/06/12 – 17:02
When I worked in Birmingham from 1961 to 1963, I lodged at Hall Green. These were my favourite buses at the time, especially when 1632, or 1643 with its lovely roaring sound, were on the last 32 departure from town in the evening. They were very comfortable, and had an excellent turn of speed on the uphill stretches. Such a pity that none survive, or that a model is not available. The model of 1632 which has been produced is a travesty!
Harold Blythe
05/07/12 – 17:49
They were always my favourites too, and I often travelled on them on the No 1 route. When I was little, I especially liked the front downstairs passenger window, because it was lower than on all the other buses, so I could see out straight ahead over the bonnet.
28/01/13 – 13:31
As a schoolboy in 1957 I remember asking why these ungainly, gaunt, older looking buses were only on the (short) 1A route to Acocks Green and I was told that they had small fuel tanks. Maybe just a jarn to shut me up.
David Grove
29/01/13 – 15:22
David, These 'RT' types were "confined" to Acocks Green Garage because only their drivers were 'passed-out' to drive them. They were occasionally to be seen on the Outer Circle 11 route but usually only on 'Service Extra' at busy times and short turns that did not require driver changeovers from other garages.
Nigel Edwards
31/01/13 – 06:07
I think I have only ever seen one of these in service so I can't comments on their ride ect but I do find it odd that they had brake problems since they were air braked. At this time BCT and BMMO for that matter had a fixation with reflections in wind screens and both operators had sloping windows fitted which in the case of BCT tended to make their buses look older than they were, the exception being the "tin fronts" which had a sloping screen but inset into the body and having vertical screen pillars. Whilst on the subject of Daimler CV brakes I am currently involved with the restoration of GEA 174, an ex West Bromwich Daimler based at and owned by the Black Country Living Museum, some of our group members have made several references to West Bromwich having problems with the brakes on these when they were new yet another contributor rightly points out that BCT had problems with their Guys in the braking department but not with their Daimlers, odd don't you think?

21/07/13 – 14:55
I worked out of Acocks Green Garage as a bus driver from 1959 till 1978 and drove these Buses many times. They were quicker BUT with Air brakes were much harder to stop. I remember driving down Olton Boulevard West and Trying to stop before turning into Gospel Lane but finished up by Warwick Road 100 Yards further on. I was young and impulsive in those days.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

How To Fix A Piano Key That Wont Play
Want to know how to fix a piano key that won't play? Sometimes a piano key will barely play before it won't play at all. It can be very annoying to have one of the keys on your piano not work. This article will help you through a systematic process to troubleshoot, locate and fix the problem of the silent piano key.
- Locate the hammer and adjust it. First you will need to locate the piano key that won't play in the mechanics of the piano. Open the piano lid and press on the piano key that isn't playing. Check to see if the hammer mechanics are or are not working. If it isn't working then you will need to either fix it or readjust it to hit the sting properly. If the hammer and components are broken you can order the parts from a music store or specialty website. If you don't have the tools to repair the hammer, usually a piano tuner will be able to fix the hammer and components for you, very easily. Just looking at the hammer and components you can easily see how everything works and can easily repair it yourself if you want too.
- Check the string. Sometimes the reason the piano key won't work is due to a tear in the piano string. Press the piano key to locate the broken key in the piano. Check the string to make sure it has no tears in it. If it has a tear in it you will have to buy a new string and replace it. This is easy to do. Usually a turner key is inside the piano. Also, a professional piano tuner could replace the string for you if you wish.
- Tuning. Lastly, but not always, it may be that a piano string out of key won't make a sound. Tuning the piano string will usually take care of this problem.

KeithUniversity of Florida Libraries' assistant program director for human resources, Bonnie Smith, will present a poster about the ARL Position Description (PD) Bank at the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) World Library and Information Congress in Lyon, France, on August 18 and 19, 2014.
LCDP poster session, image © Chimene TuckerThe closing ceremonies and poster session for the 2013–2014 cohort of the ARL Leadership and Career Development Program (LCDP) were held in Las Vegas, Nevada, June 28, 2014, during the American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference. This marks the completion of the eighth iteration of the LCDP since its inception in 1997. The closing ceremonies included formal remarks from ARL president Carol Diedrichs, as well as reflections from 2013–2014 fellow Joel Thornton of the Texas A&M University Libraries. The poster session highlighted research projects conducted by the fellows during their 18-month fellowship. The event was attended by numerous ARL member library directors, LCDP alumni, and special guests.
ARL Leadership Fellows,image © U Toronto, click to enlargeThe University of Toronto Libraries and their chief librarian, Larry Alford, hosted the 2013–2015 cohort of 26 ARL Leadership Fellows for a Strategic Issues Institute on July 13–18, 2014. The Toronto institute included an array of rich programs, presentations, tours, and networking events, as well as opportunities for the fellows to meet numerous University of Toronto administrators and library staff. A recurring theme of the institute was collaboration, including external partnerships with the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) as well as on-campus collaborations.
UW Suzzallo Library, image © Chris DubéARL and the conference planning committee have awarded five outstanding individuals Library Assessment Conference Travel Awards for 2014. These grants are offered to students and early-career professionals from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups who have demonstrated a strong interest in assessment and have the potential to contribute to the profession by deploying and developing innovative assessment and evaluation methods and strategies. The awards cover attendance, travel, and meals at the Library Assessment Conference, which will be held at the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle, August 4–7, 2014.
Elliott ShoreDuring the first three weeks of July, ARL executive director Elliott Shore travelled to Europe, Canada, and across the US to participate in five gatherings that focused on libraries, higher education, leadership, and innovation: the LIBER Conference, the Jisc-CNI Conference, the Breakthrough Models Academy, the ARL Leadership Fellows Institute, and the Aspen Institute's Roundtable on Institutional Innovation. These events provided Shore with an opportunity to expand on the various initiatives informed by and resulting from ARL's strategic thinking and design process.
Elizabeth WaraksaIn a post today on the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) Re.Thinking blog, Elizabeth Waraksa, ARL strategic thinking and design research fellow and former CLIR postdoctoral fellow, reflects on how working with collaborative, interdisciplinary teams has changed her outlook on academic career options. She discusses her experiences working on three discrete projects: the open access UCLA Encyclopedia of Egyptology, CLIR's Observations on Scholarly Engagement with Hidden Special Collections and Archives study, and ARL's strategic thinking and design research work stream.
image © Tom SharlotARL's Transforming Research Libraries (TRL) Steering Committee has published the second entry in its new monthly column, Workforce Transformation Stories. Tom Wall, university librarian at Boston College, wrote the July essay, "Adding Value beyond Discovery."
For centuries, library work has been about building collections, and then managing them. More recently, the emphasis shifted to discovery and access, which in turn led to an emphasis on instruction and information literacy initiatives. In some sense, one could create a cogent argument that the combination of services and collections will sustain our work for the foreseeable future. However, it also seems that this same argument will not facilitate innovation or necessarily help us provide the much-needed shift to "value beyond discovery."
A July 7, 2014, post by the Chronicle of Higher Education's Ubiquitous Librarian blogger, Brian Mathews, calls out ARL's strategic thinking and design work for its "optimistic and opportunistic, bold vision for the future." In the post, "Shifting from a Knowledge Service Provider to a Collaborative Partner," Mathews refers to the slide deck (PDF) from a presentation delivered at the May 2014 ARL Membership Meeting as "one of the most thought-provoking items I've seen from library-land in quite a while." He goes on to list particular points in the presentation that intrigue him.

"Crystal texted me an answer to the research questions I gave her!"
The boomer lawyer was aghast, alarmed, and getting red in the face.
"What is it about these Gen-Ys?" he asked, knowing I was heading up an initiative called #PayGenY. They should pay us to train them for $#@%$ sakes!
"Where were they raised? In an iPhone factory?"
From the other side of the barricade, a third year law student asked me in all seriousness why her parents couldn't learn to text. (It's their second language, your first, they will always text with an accent).
The edge in her voice told me everything I needed to know about the degree of heat in her relationship with her boomer progenitors.
I'd just offered to spill the secrets of a successful law practice from 30+ years of front-line experience and she couldn't resist thrusting a shiv between the ribs of a generation of mothers who left long voice mail messages as if their children had the time to listen to them!
Get to the point, Mom!
These examples of home life and workplace conflict are not surprising. Boomers, like most generations, have developed amnesia about the complaints leveled against us by the Great Generation. We were "spoiled" (our generation's "entitlement"). We were disrespectful of our elders. We cursed. We had no work ethic. We "girls" didn't wear makeup and spent far too much time wearing jeans.
We rebelled against the wisdom of the ages to "do our own thing" and "love the one we're with."
Mediation Theory and Practice to the Rescue
Most everyone these days knows the difference between mediation (a method to resolve disputes using a neutral third party) and meditation (ommmmmmmmm). The television series Fairly Legal featured a lawyer turned mediator who negotiated the resolution of a convenience store robbery in the first episode.
The guys in Wedding Crashers were divorce mediators, encouraging an embittered couple to recognize negotiated victory in the ruin of their marriage.
The only good idea is to let me and John do our job - and mediate this thing right here. You wanna hear the crazy thing? I know it doesn't feel like it, but we're making progress. We settled the deal with the cars. Let's see, that takes us to frequent flyer miles. We're flying!
Those are mine. I want them.
You know what we're gonna do? We're gonna split 'em right down the middle.- How'd that be, Mr. Kroeger?
It would be no-not good at all! I earned those miles!
Yeah, you earned them flying to Denver to meet your wh*re.
Oh, Lord.
Mediation isn't as easy as it sometimes looks. There is no campfire in the waiting room over which you can encourage Boomers and Millennials to roast some marshmallows, sing kum-by-a and gobble up s'mores before letting the fire burn to embers and shooing everyone happily off to the tents and sleeping bags.
But you can learn to resolve these cross-generational disputes like a mediator by following the steps outlined below.
Identify issues
I'm talking to Boomer managers here though Millennials should get a good idea of the process – and can make themselves responsible for implementing it – by reading on.
I'm assuming here that the workplace conflict has reached a level requiring attention and that someone has had the courage to call a meeting.
Now what?
Before opening up the floor for suggestions to resolve the dispute, encourage one another to talk about what they really want.
Assume you're a Boomer refusing to start 2013 with a raise for your youthful employees and that they've all decided to both literally and figuratively "phone it in."
Step number one is acknowledging that no one wants money.
No one wants money. They want what money buys. Peace of mind, financial security, recognition for a job well done, repayment of their student loans more quickly than slowly so they don't have to continue eating Ramen as if they'd just moved into their first dorm room. And don't overlook the possibility of money serving as combat pay or even revenge for presumed mistreatment in the workplace.
Follow the following five-step process, prefacing the suggested process as a means to find a way to create a mutually satisfying workplace for 2013.
Ask diagnostic questions to get the ball rolling
We've been here before, here, here and here.
Everyone at the table inevitably wants to first air their grievances and to be acknowledged for having them.
If you're leading the discussion, explain active listening ("I listen and repeat back to you what I hear and you let me know if I correctly understand what you're saying"). Then proceed to do just that.
Ask for clarification of statements you find ambiguous or confusing. Make sure your Millennial worker has said everything she wants to say before taking your own turn, in response to which you've asked your Gen-Y to engage in the same type of active listening they've just been privy to.
Help your counterpart identify their positions.
In the course of explaining grievances, nearly everyone will focus on positions: I'm right and he's wrong; I was on time and you were late. I was prepared and you were not. I did everything you asked me to do and delivered the work required on time.
You shouted at me when I sent you a text message confirming the completion of the project. That's what using ALL CAPS means. You shouted!
What you did was inappropriate, bullying. What I did was my job.
Explore one another's hidden interests.
An interest isn't a right/wrong position but a desire, need, fear, limitation, preference or a priority.
It's what a person wants.
Interests lie beneath the surface of positions and they're often far larger than the position. Picture the part of the iceberg beneath the surface of the water. If you don't watch out, the wages of your inattention will be the same as the Captain of the Titanic.
I did my work on time = I wanted you to acknowledge the work I did rather than complaining about the text message I sent to tell you I'd done it.
You don't text message your superiors in this company; you pick up the phone or walk over to their office to talk to them directly = I don't check my text messages on a regular basis and couldn't report to my superior that the project was on schedule because I left my mobile phone at home that day.
When the parties to a workplace dispute reveal their interests which are generally their motivations, apparent sleights and jarring miscommunications, reveal the source of the problem and its relatively easy cure.
I don't know anyone who doesn't check their messages when their phone buzzes, your Millennial worker might say. I was assuming you knew I'd finished the project and were shouting at me for some reason I couldn't fathom. I felt mistreated at the time. I couldn't explain the company's refusal to give me an annual raise for any reason other than the anger you expressed to me.
You can readily see where this set of communications is leading – to understanding, apology, forgiveness, amends and resolution.
Most workplace conflicts arise from these missed signals across cultural or generational lines. There's no need to hire expensive consultants to make your workplace a venue where both Millennials and Boomers thrive.
It simply takes a willingness to believe the best, or even simply the better of your workmates and the courage to dive into the conflict to see what it's really about.

The project names Gooru, Nanoly, and Sanergy are intriguing. The fact these names represent efforts all over the world, from India to Latin America to Africa, piques curiosity. And, the actual work of the 2014 Tech Laureates is absolutely amazing.
Applied Materials' commitment to developing the next generation of innovators was recently highlighted by the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship.
At the 2014 Flash Memory Summit, I participated in a panel discussion titled, "Is 3D NAND a disruptive technology for Flash storage?" The consensus is that 3D NAND will be the most viable storage technology in the years to come, although opinions were mixed on when that disruption would be evident.
When imagination and technology are focused on addressing everyday problems around the globe, amazing solutions are created. This year's 25 Tech Award finalists have applied technology to benefit humanity with projects that include deploying drones to prevent animal poaching in developing countries, designing a machine to deliver anesthesia in medical clinics without access to compressed oxygen or continuous grid power, and creating a mobile app to promote carpooling in busy Latin American cities.
Innovation is alive and well in the semiconductor industry. That was a key takeaway from the strategic investor panel at the second annual Silicon Innovation Forum at SEMICON West, and one I can't reinforce enough within the venture capital (VC) community.
Applied Materials is pleased to be recognized once again for our commitment to green energy. In the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Green Power Partnership report released this week, Applied ranked No. 82 on National Top 100 list of the largest green power users, No. 13 on the list of Top 30 Tech & Telecom companies and No. 26 on the FORTUNE 500 list.
I am pleased to share the Applied Materials 2013 Citizenship Report which reflects the company's commitment to social responsibility. I invite you to learn more about our environmental stewardship, sustainable business practices and community investments by exploring the report.
July 7, 2014 was a momentous occasion for Applied Materials as we revealed Eteris™ - the new, post-merger name for our combined company with Tokyo Electron. To commemorate the occasion, we've gathered up some key pieces of news coverage along with commentary on the new name from our followers and friends.
Today Applied Materials and Tokyo Electron achieved another important milestone in our merger as we unveiled the new company name. Eteris™ is bold, speaks to what makes us unique, and is representative of our future together and what we aim to achieve.
Applied Materials' newest products, the Applied Producer XP Precision CVD and the Applied Reflexion LK Prime, address two of the most difficult yet critical aspects of 3D device fabrication.
