Discussion in 'Disney Resorts' started by stindall, Jan 6, 2013.
for some reason that one didn't show up for me! sorry!
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
Just got back yesterday from All Stars Music Suites... we had 5 adults stay and we fit perfectly. we stayed in calypso building 1 in the back and it was sooo quiet, i can count on one hand how many times I heard someone!!!! we shared buses with the other all stars but it is like in a moderate you have several stops in one resort so it was no problem because they are so close together. at busy times of the day we had our own buss. I am usually a Moderate snob but I would stay here again if we had 5 people again!
Thanks so much for posting your personal experience!! I know it's not about ASMu but did you have RFID KTTW cards? Any troubles with them?
Glad to hear you had a good time! And thanks for the bus info too
to racinjunkie... we did have the kttw cards and no problems with them... you had to be right next to the lock for it to unlock the door.. but my husband could just hold up his walet to the lock and it would open the lock... but as far as the new entry globes into the park, no problems, they worked wonderful! I think they need to set them up differently because people go to the first globe and someone has to walk around them to get to the second globe so it is kind of a bottle neck there but it does seem to move quickly if people know how to use them! I did not see anyone with the wrist RFID thingy... it will be nice once they get all of the things that are possible on the wrist RFID ie, room key, park tickets, photopass cards, fastpass, dining, charging.... and who knows what else is in the making...
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it!
I have a quick question that I feel sort of silly for asking. Silly because I searched for 15 minutes and can't find the answer, and I'm sure it's on the board somewhere, lol.
What happened to the 3 Caballeros statue at the pool? Is it gone for good? I've seen some recent pool photos and the cement pad it sits on is empty...or I'm looking at the wrong thing
I took a picture of it yesterday before we checked out. It's right where it has always been.
I don't know what I was looking at in the photos I must need more coffee!
It was gone when we checked in on 3/28 but was back a few days later, probably getting a fresh coat of paint!
Oh thanks for that post. I was trying to figure out what I had been looking at, lol.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what would be better for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 preteens/teens) The family suite or 2 connecting rooms? thanks!
I think it really depends on your needs/wants in terms of sleeping arrangements. Personally, I prefer to have proper beds....not pull outs. With both types of rooms you will have two bathrooms and a fridge the only extra thing that the suite will get you is a microwave. Also, on the budget front often room discounts do not apply to the suites.
Another option that you might want to consider is that some of the deluxe resorts accomodate 5. Price wise it could be very similar. You would gain a better location but would loose the big food court....if that matters.
Deluxe is out this trip as we want to stay longer so the resort needs to be as budget friendly as can be at Disney.
I was just worried the pull outs are not as comfy as a real bed. I like the set up better so DH & I can have our own room & tv.
If you want your own room then two connecting rooms is the way to go....you can close the door. The suites are open.
I know a lot of people say the pull outs are comfy enough but I have never in my life slept on any type of pull out that was as comfy as a real bed. Plus, they are rather tiny.
Actually, the family's suites are quite comfy and roomy, being that its just a remodeled, two-room suite. There is one bedroom with a queen bed, night stands, a sitting chair, desk, desk chair, dresser and tv. Also, the bedroom has its own door that will close and lock. The living area has a sofa, chair and ottoman that all pull out to make beds. My kids always sleep on these pull put beds and have never complained. I think that I read on this board that the beds are made so that the support bars are not directly under your back. I have never checked this out myself but that's what I read. Also, the FSs have a kitchenette with a sink, microwave and fridge with ample counters pace and cabinets. Two standard bathrooms are included with sink/vanity areas outside the shower/toilet room. The wall safes and suitcase valets are in this area as well. The living room also comes with its own tv, entertainment center, table, two chairs and a bench seat/coffee table.
I'm not sure what the cost difference is between two standard rooms and one family suite, we just choose the family suite because it feels more homey plus it gives us a p,ace to stock breakfast items, water bottles, snacks, etc., in the kitchenette plus there is only one exit - something that helps when you have little ones.
Hope this helps!
One month from today and we'll be enjoying All-Star Music for the first time!
I agree with AmyzOO. we had 2 adults and 3 teens and it was perfect! the kids each had their own bed we had our own room and bathroom, the kitchenette was a good size and nice to have sink too! I would lay on the pull outs and I did not have any problem with them! if you did get two rooms you will have 4 beds and someone would still have to sleep in your room? good luck deciding!!
We are taking a 2 week trip and decided on a family suite because the kids all get their own bed while DH and I get our own room, and because we'll have places to sit other than beds or small dining chairs.

In beirut, when team members make shots into the same cup in one turn, the opposing team has to drink every cup that is touching that cup in addition to the cup the shots were made in to. In addition to that, the players that just shot get to take another turn.
If the game is a more than two players, the number of shots made into a cup for a clusterfuck must be determined. For instance, if the game is 4 on 4, 3 shots into the same cup may qualify as a clusterfuck.

Jury out on US QE2
- 22 October 2010
Expectations of a fresh stimulus situation have gained considerable traction since the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes for its September 21 meeting were released on October 12. They contained hints of another round of quantitative easing (QE), with the committee considering various options to deliver additional stimulus and potential steps to affect inflation expectations going forward.
Azad Zangana, economist at Schroders, is sceptical another round of QE in the US will have much impact even though he believes the first round across the pond in 2009 was arguably more effective than the one carried out in the UK.
Stimulating lending
In its first round, for instance, the Fed directly purchased troubled Mortgage Backed Securities (to the tune of a staggering $1.25 trillion). That in turn helped banks balance sheets, and even stimulated some lending.
In addition, Zangana points out, the Fed also bought US Treasuries, which brought down borrowing costs for the government and many corporations.
In all, the Fed's monetary easing programme in 2009 resulted in it running up a balance sheet of about $2 trillion worth of securities.
So in broad terms the first US QE programme was deemed to have a meaningful impact on long term interest rates, including for mortgages, auto loans and unsecured bank credit, as these rates gradually fell over the course of the year, making credit more available on better terms to households and businesses.
Jury out on second round
But Zangana does not believe another round of QE will be as effective this time in the US (or the UK) as yields on government debt are already low. "Banks want to consolidate, and households do not want to take on more debt at the moment," he says.
There is considerable uncertainty about the structure of QE2 in the US but Goldman Sachs economists, according to FT.com, reckon its most likely form will be monthly purchases of $80bn-$100bn for about six months.
Elsewhere, Morgan Stanley analysts cited in an International Business Times report, believe US easing will help exports. They argue fast growing emerging markets countries will be flooded with dollars and they will eventually buy more U.S. goods as a result.
Additionally, they argue, economies with low inflation and moderate economic growth will probably want to keep their currencies low to boost exports. "So as dollars flow into their financial system, their central banks will accumulate them and issue domestic currency. This will boost domestic liquidity, which will lead to economic expansion, higher incomes, and consequently greater demand for goods, including those from the U.S.," they say.
US inflation targeting mulled
As for the FOMC comments on inflation, the minutes reveal that committee members considered three options for affecting inflation expectations. The first involves adopting a more explicit constant rate of inflation. Currently the target is assumed to be close to 2%, but analysts at Henderson Global Investors believe the FOMC may look to make this a more explicit aim over a given time horizon.
The second and third options are more radical and involve targeting a path for price or nominal gross domestic product (GDP). Targeting a price level, rather than an inflation rate, would involve keeping track of deviations of inflation from its desired rate – for example, an inflation undershoot by 1% in one year will have to be offset by pushing it above target in future years. Henderson analysts say this would likely result in more stable inflation expectations, but also a more volatile economic environment.
The third option, to target a level for nominal GDP, has obvious drawbacks since GDP data are not as readily available as prices and are often revised at a later date.
The analysts conclude: "Whilst each of these approaches have their advantages and disadvantages, their aim would be to encourage better formed expectations for growth and inflation, which is increasingly important for investors as interest rates lean towards zero. We do not foresee these being adopted any time soon, although it is encouraging to see the Federal Reserve looking at innovative alternatives."

Just got back from vacation at this cabin with my family. We had a blast this cabin has everything you need, and is the perfect size for a family of 7. Great location, easy to find. Right on the river great for anyone who likes to canoe, kayak, raft or fish. I would highly recommend checking this one out. Thank you so much Terhunes for letting use your cabin, we loved it!!!
The cabin was great, location is perfect and the setup is ideal. The cabin was very clean and neat and had everything you could think of. The kids loved the Foosball table! Brian was very easy to work with. Will definitely consider this cabin again for an up north get-a-way trip. You wont be disappointed in this one.
Patricia Niemanbeeson
Holy Fancy Cabin Batman! Great cabin that far exceeded our expectations. If you want seclusion and an upscale cabin THIS IS THE ONE! Two of our guests are already looking into booking it for next year seperate from our trip together. The Terhune's are also, by far, the easiest to do business with. Nothing to be dissapointed about with this one. Enjoy!

Wilson (March 15, 1825 – June 28, 1900) is considered the first female African-American novelist, as well as the first African American of any gender to publish a novel on the North American continent. Her novel Our Nig, or Sketches from the Life of a Free Black was published anonymously in 1859 in Boston, Massachusetts, and was not widely known. The novel was discovered in 1982 by the scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr., who documented it as the first African-American novel published in the United States. The novel, The Bondwoman's Narrative by Hannah Crafts, published for the first time in 2002, may have been written before Wilson's book.
Born a free person of color in New Hampshire, Wilson was orphaned when young and bound until the age of 18 as an indentured servant. She struggled to make a living after that, marrying twice; her only son George died at age seven in the poor house, where she had placed him while trying to survive as a widow. She wrote one novel. Wilson later was associated with the Spiritualist church, was paid on the public lecture circuit for her lectures about her life, and worked as a housekeeper in a boarding house.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As Davey Johnson walked into the interview room to talk about Washington's return to postseason baseball for the first time since 1933, fans gathered in an adjoining restaurant began to applaud.
Nationals clinch postseason slot, beat Dodgers
"What's the big deal?" Johnson joked.
The Nationals used Ross Detwiler's six strong innings and Ryan Zimmerman's RBI double to lock up a playoff spot Thursday night with a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"Nats Clinch" flashed on the scoreboard as Washington ensured at least an NL wild-card spot, delighting the crowd of 30,359.
"That was fun, but it's not what I had my eye on," Johnson said. "I don't want this."
The fans stood and cheered in the ninth inning, then got even louder when Drew Storen struck out Hanley Ramirez to end it. Johnson saluted the crowd as he left the field and the team wore caps and T-shirts acknowledging the playoff berth.
"I noticed like in the fifth or sixth, some signs, some different things that kind of keyed me into that this wasn't going to be an ordinary evening," Jayson Werth said.
"That was not an ordinary win."
Nineteen-year-old center fielder Bryce Harper claimed ignorance of the team's situation.
"Everyone's going crazy. I looked at the fireworks and I go: 'I guess we just did something.' Then somebody handed me the playoff shirt and playoff hat and I said, 'Well, I guess we're going to the playoffs,'" Harper said.
Washington's magic number to win the NL East was reduced to eight. The Nationals lead idle Atlanta by 5½ games.
"We've been through a lot and a lot of us in here have been through a lot of not-good times and these are the beginning of hope for a lot of good times," Zimmerman said.
Zimmerman is the only Nationals player to appear in each of the team's eight seasons.
"It's a first step, and it's a long ways to go," he said.
The Nationals became the second team in the majors to clinch a playoff spot this year. Cincinnati sealed its slot earlier in the day.
They celebrated with a private champagne toast. No spraying and no protective plastic over their lockers.
"I think there was some talk about not celebrating at all, but I kind of talked them out of that," Werth said.
"The next one would not be as subdued, I would imagine," Zimmerman said.

Go on wiki, and select random article. Name your song after that article. Problem solved.
This is pretty good for happy hardcore but I honestly like your other stuff a little more.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Happy? Yes.
Now that I hear this a second time, I think my perception of it has gotten a little higher. The first time I heard it, I thought it sucked.
Now only if jmtb02 will use it in a game. Or perhaps if the author of 30 Seconds decides to make a sequel... (if not, I'll learn ActionScript and create "32 Seconds" as a tribute.)
5/5 and 91/100.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Not the usual I'm used to listening to, but definitely up there.
Good everything about this song. Keep it up.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
another floor filler!
perfect beat,
perfect harmony....
this is the S**T!
keep up the beat
oh and,
at least he's got better taste...

text: I won't go into too many details, but here's just a couple of things: Spirit claims your first bag is free. It is, but that's just your carry-on. I paid $86 extra, roundtrip, for my suitcase, and was only allowed 40, NOT 50 pounds in it. If you want water, no problem! For $3 you can buy a very small bottle. Have long legs? Don't even attempt flying on this airline. The flight attendants are not at ALL concerned with your wants OR needs. To be fair, they are probably treated like crap by their employer. It is the WORST airline I have ever had the displeasure of traveling on. I am telling anyone who will listen: NEVER FLY WITH SPIRIT AIR! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!! Oh, and I forgot to mention leaving St. Maarten almost 3 hours late. MOST passengers missed their connecting flights in Fort Lauderdale,on other airlines (and even Spirit Air flights) and were basically told/asked "SO WHAT?" If you value your time and money, this is NOT the airline for you.

2014 in Tux Machines
OUR FIRST couple of months at Tux Machines were pleasurable and we hope that readers found the links we've shared valuable. We even posted links while on vacation, i.e. away from home.
Migration of the site to Drupal 7 (and another server) has been planned for over a month now and it did not happen over Christmas because if things go wrong, not much help will be at hand. We have already tested a prototype of the site and it will need to be upgraded, integrated, etc. Whether we can retain the existing theme (compatibility changes between major releases of Drupal) remains to be seen, but the format of the site will definitely stay the same.
Happy new year to all our readers, whom we very much value. This site is a public service. █

original tuxmachines theme
Happy new year!
I like the original tuxmachines theme. it's clean and light colors.
Maybe it can be ported to drupal 7?
If the theme is not a drop-in
If the theme is not a drop-in addition for Drupal 7, then I will try to hack some CSS and make it similar enough.

Officials Trying To Figure Out IA Lotto Mystery
It's a case of who doesn't want to be a millionaire: A long-running, head-scratching mystery surrounding a multi-million dollar lotto jackpot, that's now a criminal investigation.
FOX News Radio's Chris Hoenig has the story:
Audio clip:
When Iowa lotto officials pulled some winning numbers in 2010, they didn't know it would be the start of a made-for-TV drama.
(Neubauer) "With just a couple hours to go before that prize would have expired, some folks turned up with the winning ticket."
Lawyers from New York, representing a blind trust based in Belize. But:
(Neubauer) "No one could tell us where the ticket had been. No one could tell us who purchased the ticket."
And then, something they've never seen before.
(Neubauer) "The folks who turned in the winning ticket walked away from the prize, and said that they didn't want the money."
$14.3 million in prize money, according to Iowa Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer. The Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation now reviewing phone and email records, trying to figure out who's behind it.

The Election Audits Task Force was convened in spring 2008 by President Mary Wilson with the charge to produce a report taking a comprehensive view of election audits. Audits should go beyond Election Day activities and functions, and examine all aspects of the election process. Leagues should find this report useful in talking with their legislatures and elections officials about election auditing.
This week brought good news for Georgia voters. A U.S. District Judge cleared the way for a lawsuit by voting rights groups to go forward. The suit asks the court to mandate that the State of Georgia fully comply with the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) particularly with respect to providing voter registration forms at public assistance agencies both in person and online. Demos and other groups hailed this court order.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted this week to do away with one of the most effective deterrents to campaign finance corruption our nation has relied on since the Watergate scandal of the 1970s.

Which one of these 3 receivers would you recommend to 4 bookshelves Klipsch B-20, Center Channel Klipsch C-20 and a BIC America F12 Subwoofer:
Yamaha RX-V475 vs Denon AVR-E300 vs Pioneer Elite VSX-43
I won't be able to listening to them with any speaker. So I will just trust in your opinions. Considering their prices and features are quite the same. Except for the pioneer that is 7.1. But I don't think I will use 7.1 on my small room.
Thanks in advance!
That's a good advantage to Denon.
Which Marantz would you recommend in this range of price: NR1403 ?
My doubt about these Denon and Yamaha is because I read a review at stereo . com this Yamaha (in their opinion) is the best budget receiver.

Mirror's Eyesbytheoncomingstorm©
I looked in the mirror today
And what did I see?
A saw a girl whose brokenness
Still astonishes me
I see loneliness
That fills her deep inside
But somehow behind it
She continues to hide
Each and every day
I face the mirror of my eyes
A see myself in a new light
Not masked behind the lies
When she looks in the glass
When she sees her eyes
She finds she cannot dream up a reality
No matter how hard she tries
And she tries with all her might
To face her every fear
So that she will not break down
Every time she looks in the mirror

http://conference.ifla.org/ifla78 Date submitted: 29 June 2012 Supporting knowledge-based societies: developing national policy for libraries Carol Priestley Director, Network for Information & Digital Access (NIDA) London, United Kingdom Session: 140 — In search of inspiring perspectives on National Information and Library Policy — National Information and Library Policy Special Interest Group Abstract: The recognition of the role that libraries can and do play in the information society, in bridging the digital divide and in their unique ability to support a country's development goals has led to renewed interest in the establishment of national library policies. This paper presents the findings from research being carried out 2010 - 2012 by a team of international and national researchers across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa. Three components are included: desk research leading to preparation of a background paper; development of case studies to illustrate forward-thinking/innovative practice; and, development of a draft library policy framework. The full results can be found from www.nida-net.org/activities This paper serves as a background to the presentation that will be given in Helsinki, which will primarily focus on developments in the field during 2012. What is a national policy for libraries? In simple terms a policy is a plan of action or a statement of aims and objectives providing a framework for practice. A policy is developed with the intention to guide, influence and determine decisions, actions and other matters; it is a means to an end. A national library policy is then a framework for the planned and coordinated development of a country's libraries. It is a plan of action and a statement of ideals proposed or adopted by a government. 1 Supporting knowledge-based societies: developing national policy for libraries A national library policy differs from library legislation. The latter lays down statutory responsibilities. Any national library policy must conform to this law and any other relevant current laws. Changes in the law usually necessitate the updating of an existing policy. A national library policy also differs from manuals of procedures and guidelines that provide guidance on the best and most efficient ways of implementing policy. Regulations describe what must be done to support a policy. National library policies may form part of wider policies, e.g. National Information Policies, National Information Technology Strategies, National Education Policies, and National Book Policies; their development and interconnection does not require the pre-existence of these wider strategies. They can also be developed, either additionally or independently, for specific types of libraries (e.g. public or university libraries) or individual library systems (e.g. of a specific town or regional authority). 'National Libraries' (which in many countries also have responsibility for public and other types of libraries) may develop policies covering these areas but they are not national library policies per se. Trends post-WW2 to 2000 In the period post-WW2, library development planning under the umbrella of a national policy framework became an idea much favoured and debated. In the UK, for example, the McColvin Report of 1942 and the Roberts Report of 1957 both stressed the necessity of setting up a truly national library service under central government control, with minimum standards and periodic inspections. In African countries, unlike in UK, Europe and USA, there were no pre-existing administrative library structures, so it was possible to set up really national library systems as part of independence settlements. In reality, national library systems tended to become public library networks. From 1970 onwards UNESCO, through their National Information System (NATIS) programme, began to promote the idea of fully integrated library and information systems, planned through a national information policy. NATIS was swallowed within the General Information Programme (GIP), which aimed to achieve a world scientific United Nations International Scientific Information System (UNISIST) as well as creating national information systems in each country. IFLA contributed to the UNISIST programme by promoting Universal Bibliographic Control (UBC) and Universal Access to Publications (UAP). In 1985, UNESCO produced its Guidelines on National Information Policy: scope, formulation and implementation. It provided a step by step approach to national information policy but left users to decide which parts of the concept were relevant to their situation. The 1990s saw the development of information technology in facilitating access to information, as well as a growing awareness of the importance of information for development, the concept of the information society. IFLA (Niegaard) recognized that the information society generates and consumes enormous amounts of information and that IT made it easier to produce and access this information. New actions were called for from all types of libraries and also from authorities in the way that they include libraries in national planning. It concluded that national information policies (of the sort promoted by UNESCO in the 1970s and 1980s but also addressing IT strategies (including informatics and telematics) were required more than ever. 2 Supporting knowledge-based societies: developing national policy for libraries Of 135 countries surveyed by IFLA in 1996/97 55 replies were received: 34 had National Information Policies (NIPs) or National Information Technology Strategies (NITSs), 10 were discussing these and 11 gave a negative response. The positive responses indicated that libraries were seen as important instruments, as public access points to knowledge and information and as information centres towards national IT development. However many countries indicated that it was easier to adopt a policy than to implement it. The survey concluded that IT was forcing the agenda and left no nation untouched: NIPs and NITSs were definitely an issue of interest to the library sector and indicated that libraries should play an active role. During these years the need for the library sector to contribute to other policies became a matter of discussion in Africa. There was a call for national book policies, to ensure that the book chain was recognized, supported, nurtured and maintained as a matter of national importance. This was discussed from 1996 onwards at many of the Indabas (e.g. McCartney), held at the Zimbabwe Book Fairs. In 1997 UNESCO published National Book Policy: a guide for users in the field. It was generally recognized that library development must be integrated into book policy development. However, at the same time, some commented that developing a national book policy required commitment from an enormous range of players. As a result very little came of these initiatives. The trends of the 1990s were inconclusive as to whether or not it was productive to develop national library policies in the context of wider policies, like Information, Technology, Books or Education, or whether a national library policy should first stand alone, to be subsequently integrated into other policies. Trends, 2000 onwards The early years of the new century saw emphasis placed on how ICT advances had brought about changes in knowledge management leading to the development of the global information society. This was evidenced by the holding of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in two phases, 2003 and 2005. Its objective was to establish the foundations for an Information Society and to put in motion a concrete action plan, both of which are still in progress. One result was the development of national ICT plans. There was an obvious 'digital divide' between developed and developing countries, with the latter having low levels of human capital, local content creation, ICT infrastructure and ICT access. United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) recognized this in 1996 with its adoption of the African Information Society Initiative (AISI), which encouraged African governments to embark on the process of developing national information and communications policies and plans. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the action plans of WSIS gave African governments further impetus in this direction. IST-Africa (ICT policies), a multi-stakeholder initiative focused on reducing the digital divide in sub- Saharan Africa, now compiles a repository of ICT policies in Africa and most countries have written and/or revised them between 2000 and 2010. The problem for the library sector is that most if not all the African ICT national policies give no role to libraries within the ICT framework. Technology is overemphasized and no mention of libraries is included in the issues addressed. A similar situation exists in the other parts of the developing world. A meeting of the Asia- Pacific Information Network (APIN) in 2007 complained that libraries were missing from their countries' national information policies, agreed that the library component should be 3 Supporting knowledge-based societies: developing national policy for libraries spelt out in all NIPs and suggested that a set of standards for NIPs should be promulgated (Sin Joan Yee). It is this lack of recognition of the role that libraries can and do play in the information society and in bridging the digital divide that has led to a renewed interest in the establishment of national library policies. In Europe EBLIDA (European Bureau of Library, Information, Documentation Archives) Naple (National Authorities on Public Libraries in Europe) held a joint conference in 2009 to discuss the importance of a library policy for Europe. It has established guidelines on library legislation and policy in Europe (Mauritzen), which emphasize that national policy measures should recognize that libraries are essential bodies in sustaining and developing democracy. A number of European countries have or are in the process of formulating national library policies. In Finland the Ministry of Education is responsible for outlining national library policies and has an ongoing programme of policy statements and strategies, concentrating on state and public libraries (the subject of Barbro Wigell- Ryynänen's paper which follows). Latvia and Lithuania are countries at present in the process of formulating policies. Lithuania has a law on libraries, many regulations and a long-term programme for the modernization of public libraries. Government changes in strategic planning methods and guidelines for cultural policy issued in 2010 has led the library sector to review the content of existing documents and discuss development of a national library policy. In South America, several countries are working towards national library policies, starting with an emphasis on public libraries. Colombia passed a law in 2010 through which the National Network of Public Libraries is to be organized (Colombia. Ministry of Culture). The Law defines all technical, financial and institutional instruments as well as the necessary planning and coordination spaces to do it. However, it is a national policy only for libraries operated by the state. It does not cover other public libraries or networks, community, school or university libraries. But other types of libraries are included in a technical committee stipulated by the law, to give advice and counsel. Chile is also considering passing a similar law. In Africa, Namibia (discussed below) has developed an integrated national library policy, and Kenya and Uganda are in the process of finalizing public library policies. At April 2012, several other countries (including Ghana, South Africa and Tanzania have started discussions towards developing policies. Three examples of countries who have completed national policies for libraries Examination and appraisal of current best practice led the research team to identify 3 cases studies, those of Finland, Namibia and New Zealand. Following a series of consultative workshops and discussions, a fourth, that of Colombia was added to illustrate particularly innovative national policy for public libraries in a developing world context. Finland As mentioned above, Barbro Wigell-Ryynänen, Counsellor for Library Affairs of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Finland is also presenting in the NLIP SIG session and she will be best placed to summarize their work. However, for those who are interested, the case study on Finland within the NIDA research, prepared by Barbro, is available from <www.nida-net.org/activities/policy/finland> 4 Supporting knowledge-based societies: developing national policy for libraries Namibia In 2009, the National Libraries and Archives Service (NLAS) of Namibia solicited bids to assist in the renewal of Namibia's national library policy, as Phase 2 of a strategic assessment and economic analysis of the LIS sector. The previous policy had been written in 1997 (Namibia.Ministry of Basic Education) and in the intervening years far-reaching changes had taken place in the national and global information environment, not least the emergence of ICT. In addition Namibia produced Vision 2030, a new strategy for national development, which required the transformation of the economy, with the education and training sector, including continuing education and libraries, playing an important role. The ideas of Vision 2030 were incorporated into the latest national development plan and the Education and Training Sector Improvement Programme (ETSIP). A new national strategy for libraries was required to demonstrate, guide and plan the contribution of the library sector to this vision. The London-based consortium of MDR Partners and the Network for Information and Digital Access (NIDA) was chosen to work with NLAS. A consultancy team began research on the ground and its reports became the basis for a draft national policy document for the library and information sector, submitted to NLAS in 2010 (MDR/NIDA). The revised national policy consists of four sections: • The context: need for a new policy, national development objectives and major objectives of a strategy for Namibia's libraries; • Key strategic elements: - Coordination, leadership and marketing: the roles and relationships of the Namibian Library and Information Council (NLIC), NLAS and professional bodies like the Namibian Information Workers Association (NIWA) - Legislation: need to renew the 2000 Act in the light of changes brought about by ICT and decentralization within Namibia - Human resources: meeting the needs of actual and potential users; adequate supply of skilled staff, including improvement of staffing structures and training opportunities • Resources: - information resources for library and information services - Namibian content - information for development - funding - ICT; • Policies for individual library and information sectors: - National Library of Namibia - National Archives of Namibia - specialized and research libraries - community libraries - school libraries/media centres, BIS and resources for teachers - higher education libraries. NLAS is in the process of publishing the document. In the meantime a copy of the consultant's report can be accessed from www.mdrpartners.com/projects/namibia-library-strategy/ New Zealand At the time of research, the National Library of New Zealand provided NIDA with a case study based on their 2007 policy document; however since then there have been a number of significant changes within the public service in New Zealand, not least of which 5 Supporting knowledge-based societies: developing national policy for libraries is that both the National Library and Archives NZ were integrated into the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) on 1 February 2011. A copy of the original, but now outdated, case study can be found from www.nida- net.org/activities/policy/new zealand/ but papers being given by staff members of the National Library during this congress will be giving the latest thinking from New Zealand. Colombia The two primary goals for Colombia are precisely those of the ideal public library: an institution providing basic and complementary services covering the full diversity and cultural, ethnic and social characteristics of every municipality and department of Colombia and a library with equipment and infrastructure in accordance with minimum technical requirements defined as per the legal character of municipalities in which services are free. A public library must have connectivity in its agenda and with conditions for the exchange of services with the National Network of Public Libraries and with other networks of libraries in the country and abroad. More than just a duty, this public library is obligatory and should be guaranteed by territorial and national administrations. The Colombian Law of Public Libraries defines all technical, financial and institutional instruments, as well as all the necessary planning and coordination spaces to provide services. The Context The Law of Public Libraries lays the basis for National Policy of the National Network of Public Libraries. To do that, it traces technical guidelines on the operation of all State Public Libraries in the country, their infrastructure, basic services they should provide free, and the profile of the personnel to fulfil them. The Law defines instruments for the sustainable development of public libraries with tax incentives for those supporting their operation, public resources, national and territorial coordination, institutional obligations, citizen's participation, management and performance measurement, etc. The provisions of the Law do not cover other libraries or networks, such as the Bank of Republic Network of Libraries, the Family Benefit Funds Network of Libraries, community libraries and school and university libraries, even though all of them have a place in the National Technical Committee of Public Libraries. Key Strategic elements include: - Public use and social interest, social investment and public service - Public Library Operation - Bibliographic heritage - responsibilities: divided into National level; Departmental level and Municipal and District levels - implementation instruments are required, such as the resources necessary to carry out services. There are many examples of these, e.g. a set of financing mechanisms; Incentives to the publishing industry. The network concept Throughout the 'Law of Public Libraries' the National Network of Public Libraries is the articulation of public libraries in the national, departmental, district and municipal spheres. Its equipment and heritage, bibliographic services, resources, infrastructure and personnel fulfil the mission of supporting the public, through users and communities. This is articulated through a set of standards, bodies, processes and resources aimed to prevent duplication of efforts; it promotes the unity of criteria and goals through principles and rules for the interpretation and application aimed at the development and transformation from 6 Supporting knowledge-based societies: developing national policy for libraries the contemporary concept of a public library. The network, as every institution, seeks constructive goals, which facilitates interaction. The policy of the National Network of Public Libraries is to be integrated into economic and social development plans at all levels, with the following implications: • the need to include within the National Development Plan, a Plan related to the promotion of the Network; • the creation of departmental, district and municipal plans, taking into account policies and strategies of the National Development Plan; • territorial plans developed into corresponding action plans. National Library Policy Framework Following the research phase summarized above, two model policy frameworks - one for a fully integrated sector-wide and one specialized to the public library sub-sector - were developed through a consultative process of meetings and workshops in Europe and in Africa and mailings to NIDA's network and interested stakeholders. Copies of the frameworks can be found from www.nida-net.org/activities Participants also drew up a few simple guidelines to aid those beginning to consider developing or renewing a policy. In brief, library policy should be seen within a process that includes: a) assessment of the present performance and infrastructure of the library sector or subsector based on the stated requirements for development of the country and the needs of its citizens. The assessment of libraries will therefore be based in the context of the government's development policies, usually articulated through 'Vision' documents, national development plans, economic plans, employment plans etc.; b) understanding and analysis of the realistic and achievable financial capability of government and complementary sources towards libraries (or the library sub sector); c) analysis and understanding of the potential future impact that libraries could and should contribute to the country's development; d) preparation of the library policy document; e) preparation of comprehensive and implementable short, medium and long term Action Plans for the library sector (or subsector). This should include annual plans developed in line with 3 – or 5-year rolling plans. The action plans should include both work plans and budget plans; f) development of strategies and instruments for ongoing monitoring, evaluation and feedback of results into the planning and policy implementation processes. Responding to request, the latest follow-up action by NIDA includes preparation of complementary model frameworks for both sector assessment and financial analysis. 7 Supporting knowledge-based societies: developing national policy for libraries Conclusions From the above, we can conclude: National policies for libraries are part of a larger mosaic of both information-related and other national policies, e.g. education. They contribute and relate to these other policies but are not dependent on them. They may be developed separately and independently in the first instance. They will need to be updated as a country's conditions and policies develop and change. National policies for libraries arise out of the political, economic and social needs and conditions of a country. They grow out of the existing library infrastructure and practices. They reflect a country's library priorities. Library legislation authorizes the existence and responsibilities of a country's libraries. A national library policy ensures that libraries operate in accordance with this legislation and in the most effective way possible. National policies for libraries, once in writing and formally approved by government, provide a framework for the delivery of library services. Being underwritten by government is an assurance of financial support and subsidy. The existence of a body within government responsible for all library development within a country facilitates the formulation of a truly national library policy. National library strategies and policies give libraries credibility and political visibility, something that is often lacking for the library sector. The important role that libraries play in development and general well-being of society is recognized and incorporated in all government policies and projects.

TRON: Legacy actress Olivia Wilde has confirmed that she will not being playing Linda Lovelace in the movie based on the adult movie star. Olivia had previously claimed, earlier this year, that she was seriously considering playing the role but now it appears that she has had a change of heart.
Back in July, Wilde said, "It would be a tremendous honor. It's such a cool role. She was a fascinating woman, with where she came from to Deep Throat to then working with Gloria Steinem and Nora Ephron. It's really fascinating." She has now rejected the role.
Olivia explained, "I'm not doing that one, no." Other big name, Hollywood stars are still linked to Lovelace including Kate Hudson and James Franco. Lovelace is set to be directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman and is pencilled in for a 2012 release date.
