I offer a smile!
Here is a little about me. Yes I am divorced and I do have children. My children are the most important thing to me and I strive to be an awesome dad. Just to be up front I am not looking for a "new mother" for my children. If you're still reading this, awesome, I'm glad we got past that. People would describe me as caring, passionate, and a motivated person. I work in the aviation industry as a helicopter pilot. Right now I am an instructor for a very large school in Titusville. Planning and structure are important to me but life is like aviation, it changes daily and you have to be able to adapt and over come to what life throws at you. I work to live, not live to work however I do have the best office in the world and I absolutely love my job. I'm looking to find someone to enjoy my free time with. Somebody to hang out with, whether its dinner and a movie or being couch potatoes watching re-runs. The most important thing to me is a smile. I believe that a woman's smile should be the eighth wonder of the world because it is capable of turning any bad day around. A beautiful, intelligent woman with similar interests and a sense of humor is my ideal match. Someone that likes the outdoors not scared to get a little dirty but also likes to get dressed up and go out for dinner and dancing.

"Die Neu Foto Schule" (also published in English as The New Photo School) where he recommends what is now known as the Windisch surface developer. In fact's an older formula which he doesn't claim as his own.
The principle is that a tanning developer hardens the emulsion proportionately to development so in areas of extreme exposure there's more hardening and less penetration of the developer,. This was very important with older thicker emulsions prior to the 60's some of which had poor antihalation backing and that halation was worse in the emulsion closest to the support.
Modern emulsions will exhibit a less marked effect and will vary depending on the emulsion & staining developer used.

HangingTogether: Hallmarks of library cooperation
The OCLC Research Library Partnership offers opportunities for staff to learn from peers in other countries. Hideyuki Seki of Keio University took advantage of this opportunity to ask the OCLC Research Library Partners Metadata Managers Focus Group members for examples of their most successful collaborations with other institutions' libraries and the factors that contributed most to their success. He wrote:
In the US, many cooperative activities or collaborative projects among research libraries are in progress. In contrast, it is difficult to organize tangible projects among university libraries in Japan. The reason of the difference between US and Japan on this issue might be explained by the differences in cultures, customs and structures of the organizations, but I hope we could learn some hints for invigorating cooperative activities among Japanese research libraries by studying the actual situations in other countries in more depth.
The focus group members responded with an impressive list of successful collaborations to share discovery, collections, expertise and standards development. Examples included: Arabic Collections Online to digitize public domain Arabic language texts and provide a unified publication and discovery platform for the digital objects; Articlereach; Australian Newspaper Plan (ANPlan) (a program to collect and preserve every newspaper published in Australia); Biodiversity Heritage Library; Borrow Direct; the Copyright Review Management System, a collaborative effort to help provide copyright determinations for volumes in HathiTrust; Emblematica Online portal; Getty Research Portal; the Kuali Open Library Environment (OLE) project; Libraries Australia; the National Bibliographic Database in Australia and the National Union Catalogue in New Zealand; NACO and the Program for Cooperative Cataloging; NSLA (national libraries of Australia and New Zealand, and the State and Territory libraries of Australia working collaboratively to strengthen the information infrastructure in Australia and New Zealand); the NSLA eResources Consortium (an e-resources purchasing consortium); Primeros Libros de las Americas, digitizing surviving copies of the first books published in the New World prior to 1601; the OCLC Research Library Partnership's SHARES program; Trove; the UKB, the Dutch consortium of thirteen university libraries and the National Library of the Netherlands.
On a smaller scale, members noted inter-institutional cooperation agreements for shared storage such as the Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST); digitizing materials held by other institutions; the Columbia and Cornell 2CUL partnership to pool resources to provide content, expertise and services and its current Technical Services Integration; the Indiana and Northwestern Universities' Avalon Media System project to develop an audio and video repository; the CIC Cooperative Cataloging Initiative; the California Digital Library's offerings of system wide preservation and access services; Stanford's collaboration with the Bibliothèque nationale de France on the French Revolution Digital Archive; Hong Kong's Joint University Librarians Advisory Committee and its Hong Kong Academic Library Link (HKALL) for resource sharing; the Manhattan Research Library Initiative (MaRLI) to coordinate collection development and resource sharing among NYU, Columbia and the New York Public Library; New Jersey's Digital Media Repository (NJVid); the Orbis Cascade Alliance; the University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions (USMAI).
Factors that contributed to success:
- Project Scope. Clearly articulated project scope and expectations.
- Common goals. The partners need to have values that align, a common understanding of the desired outcomes. The benefits of the partnership must outweigh any risks.
- Clearly understood roles and responsibilities. Each partner needs to bring something of value to the collaboration; e.g. funds, skills, knowledge, data/content.
- It must be a true partnership in which the collective contribution of the partners creates more than any could have achieved individually.
- Administrative support and funding. There needs to be support for the partnership at high levels in each organization, and the willingness to invest in it.
- Governance. The nature of the partnership needs to be understood and agreed, with written agreements in place. In addition, there needs to be explicit decisions made about financial administrations, governance, and ways to resolve issues that arise.
These success factors reminded me of the five "Catalysts for collaboration" in the 2009 report, Think Global, Act Local – Library, Archive and Museum Collaboration written by my colleagues Ricky Erway and Günter Waibel. Excerpts:
- Vision – For a collaborative idea to succeed, it has to be embedded in an overarching vision all participants share. This vision is what makes it worth the effort to overcome obstacles.
- Mandate – A mandate, expressly conveyed through strategic plans or high-level directives—as well as less formal modes of encouragement—can kindle and direct enthusiasm for collaboration. (On the flipside, the absence of a mandate can have a corrosive effect on activities as uncertainty about administrative backing dominates discussions.)
- Incentives – Staff evaluations and departmental assessments should include collaborative activities in their appraisals. Collaborative work should be supported through promotion, monetary incentives and public recognition.
- Change Agents – At every stage, collaboration can benefit from the presence of a "change agent"—a trusted individual, department, or program that keeps the effort alive, injects it with a dose of resources (ideas, technology, staff) at the right time and keeps participants focused on the overall vision to which they are aiming.
- Mooring – Collaborations thrive and survive when they have an administrative mooring or a home base from which they can conduct operations, communicate with others, and incorporate their efforts into the broader mission of their institution.
The "Collaboration as a continuum" graphic which precedes this blog entry is from that 2009 report.

In the Library, With the Lead Pipe: A radical publishing collective: the Journal of Radical Librarianship
In Brief: the Journal of Radical Librarianship is a new open-access journal publishing scholarly work in the field of radical librarianship. The focus on critical approaches to librarianship and anti-marketisation of information is reflected not only in our subject matter but in our publishing model, our licensing model, and our organisational practices. We hope to foster open and engaging discussions about radical approaches to librarianship and information studies.
There's a growing amount of discussion in the UK about 'radical librarianship': a concept that covers a range of ideas about political engagement in librarianship and information studies. 2015 sees the launch of the Journal of Radical Librarianship: a new publication attempting to capture some of that discussion and disseminate it to a wider audience in an open and critically rigorous way. Fundamentally we want to promote discussion about the political nature of librarianship and to discuss radical alternatives to current practices and prevailing thinking in the profession.
A radical approach
Broadly speaking, 'radical librarianship' could be said to be a focus on the ethical roots of librarianship. Some of these ethical considerations are articulated by authors like Froehlich1 and include respect for the individual and individual freedom, social responsibility, and organisational obligations. Central to radical librarianship's ethics is presenting an alternative to the prevalent trend towards marketisation of libraries. Over the past few decades, libraries have shifted towards a market-oriented approach: one that emphasises marketised solutions to service provision (that is, solutions used in the private-sector free market environment).
For example, Clark and Preater (2014) point to the use of market-oriented language in professional discourse: "As a profession we have broadly accepted the idea of members or users as "customers" or "consumers", and accepted the need to adopt market strategies to meet their needs… This is so accepted that a rejection of this approach, for example rejecting the label of "customer", has become seen to be old-fashioned and outdated."2 LIS 'thought leaders' and writers tell libraries to market themselves, to adopt the practices of successful retail chains. Social media pundits tell librarians to think about their 'personal brand' and to manage their online presence as if it were a social marketing campaign. An Independent Library Report for England published in December 2014 recommended to the UK Government that libraries "can only be saved if they become more like coffee shops with wi-fi, sofas and hot drinks"3. The recommendation that libraries adopt private sector service practices like this is present in a lot of professional discourse in librarianship and has been aptly chronicled in recent years by Public Libraries News and Informed.
This trend must be seen within the context of the prevailing social framework of neoliberalism. Neoliberalism can be defined as the belief "that markets are inherently efficient and that the state and public sector have no essential role to play in economic development apart from facilitating the expansion, intensification and primacy of market relations."4 It is an emphasis on laissez-faire capitalism and the free market and the theory was a formative tenet in the economic policies of Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the UK and Republican President Ronald Reagan in the USA during the 1980s5. As organisations – and governments – across society have adopted neoliberal practices, libraries have followed unquestioningly. The move towards a market-oriented approach has been framed in LIS professional discourse as not just a progressive approach but as necessary to the survival of libraries. Following the trend in professional literature, librarians at management level have shaped their library's practices to fit the neoliberal theory. The prevailing (and 'progressive') view implicitly "advocates a belief there is a market relationship between the service and the user, with barriers placed between the two, and reduces the relationship between libraries and users to a transactional one with the library supplying information – viewed as a commodity in a market setting."6 Libraries have been encouraged to think of their objectivity as political neutrality and librarians have been discouraged from thinking about the political implications of their work.
Radical librarianship is an alternative position. It acknowledges that libraries are and always have been inherently political7 rather than – as has been the accepted view – politically and ideologically neutral8. It argues that the ethical roots of librarianship are openness, free access to information, and a strong community spirit – principles we apply differently to the neoliberal appropriations of those terms – and that practice in librarianship should be true to these roots. It attempts to present a real alternative to the current orthodoxy in library discourse: a discourse that sits within a wider dominant ideology of capitalism.
In the UK, this has manifested in the Radical Librarians Collective, a loose affiliation of like-minded library and information workers who come together to challenge the marketisation of libraries and the prevailing neoliberal position. The Radical Librarians Collective facilitates communication between like-minded people and hosts non-hierarchical events for discussion and social interaction.
At a Radical Librarians Collective meeting in London, UK, in May 2014, a group raised the idea of a publication space for writing on the subject of radical librarianship. Publishing work on radical librarianship in the form of an academic journal would be a way to bring theory and practice together. "At this stage, the most significant victory for the radical alternative is to open dialogue about the alternatives. Without dialogue, without alternatives being voiced and discussed, there is no hope for a radical alternative."9 The Journal of Radical Librarianship will facilitate that dialogue.
A radical journal
The Journal of Radical Librarianship is a new open-access journal publishing a combination of peer-reviewed scholarly writing and non-peer-reviewed commentary and reviews. We're looking for work on the subject of radical librarianship and related areas. Broadly speaking, anything that investigates the political aspects of librarianship or takes a critical theory-based approach to LIS10. The journal is available at http://journal.radicallibrarianship.org/ and is open for submissions.
Information ethics are core to the journal's mission and so the team have made a conscious effort to adopt practices in keeping with our shared moral code. We have set up the journal in such a way as to support the exchange and reworking of knowledge: we want to make work as freely available to the public as possible and we want to encourage 'remixing' of the ideas in our published work11.
In practical terms, this commitment to an ethical publishing code has informed our hosting and our licensing. The journal is hosted on an Open Journal Systems platform: an open-source piece of software from the Public Knowledge Project designed to facilitate open-access publishing for journals and other publications.

The focus on alternative approaches also informs our editorial team structure. The current team includes a range of people from different sectors with different experience. As we continue, we will have a fluid editorial team with a non-hierarchical structure easily receptive to change. From the beginning, we've focused on collective decision-making with no single person able to make big decisions without consulting the rest of the team. Through use of online communication and collective decision-making software Loomio, we've made decisions that reflect compromise and direct diplomacy and that don't give authority to any individual team member.
Though centred in the UK, the Journal of Radical Librarianship has an international scope and we encourage submissions from anywhere in the world. We hope to publish work in multiple languages as a recognition that, in order to share knowledge as widely as possible, we should not preference one language over others. Submissions are accepted in any language.
Fundamentally the Journal of Radical Librarianship aims to provide a publication space for alternatives in librarianship discourse. In the LIS publishing landscape, there is little space for writing that challenges – or falls outside the assumptions of – society's dominant neoliberal ideology. While much library publishing ignores the political context of library and information studies and presents libraries as politically neutral institutions, the Journal of Radical Librarianship situates LIS within the political framework of society and examines library issues from that perspective.
The Journal of Radical Librarianship is not unique in LIS publishing: several other publications produce work with similar scope. We acknowledge their value and hope to work together as complementary rather than competitive publications. Progressive Librarian is a journal produced by the US-based Progressive Librarians Guild; Library Juice Press is a publisher of a number of books on "theoretical and practical issues in librarianship from a critical perspective"; Collaborative Librarianship is a journal publishing work on cooperative librarianship. In the Library with the Lead Pipe can also be included in this list for its commitment to open-access and progressive publication practices and we'd like to thank them for giving us the space to write about the Journal of Radical Librarianship. This is just a selection of English-language publications in similar areas and demonstrates that there is an ecosystem of library and information authors interested in exploring radical and critical approaches. We want to position the Journal of Radical Librarianship as an attempt to enrich the existing community by applying innovative scholarly approaches to the field.
A radical community
The Journal of Radical Librarianship is open for submissions. If you're unsure about an idea for submission, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
For peer-reviewed articles, we are looking for pieces that take radical approaches to subjects such as: information literacy, politics and social justice, scholarly communication, equality and diversity, library history, management and professionalism, and political economy of information and knowledge. Our editorial team is flexible and we will look at work outside those boundaries.
We're also looking for non-peer-reviewed pieces. We accept editorials and commentary on relevant political issues or library issues. We're also accepting reviews of media relevant to the scope of the journal. If you're interested in becoming a reviewer, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
We want a discussion. Only by working together and discussing subjects out in the open in a free and unrestrained way will we be able to bring about change. We want people to read the work we publish, think about it, argue about it, disagree with it, use it in their working lives. We want people to think critically and act radically. We want people to see the alternatives. We want to talk about libraries. We want to talk about politics. We want to talk about radical librarianship.
Thanks to the editorial team of the Journal of Radical Librarianship for contributions and feedback on this article and for all the hard work involved in setting up and running the journal. Thanks to Stuart Lawson for his sterling work on getting us up and running. We'd collectively like to thank the editorial team at In the Library with the Lead Pipe for giving us the space to contribute this piece and for their excellent editorial input.

Open Knowledge Foundation: Open Data Day 2015 Recap #4: Hacks, Meet Ups and Data Exploration in Africa!
Open Data Day 2015, which took place on February 21, was celebrated in hundreds of communities around the world. In this blog series, we have been highlighting the discussions and outcomes of a small selection of the hacks, data dives and meetups that were organised that day. In this fourth post in the series, we will be looking at a selection of events that took place in Africa, from Tunisia to South Africa and Nigeria to Kenya! If you want to learn more about what transpired in other parts of the world, check out our recaps posts on Asia, the Americas and Europe.
Open Data Day was rocking this year on the African continent, here is just a sample of some of the incredible events that were organised through open community members!Cameroon
As far as we can tell, the award for largest open data day event in the world goes to the open data community in Yaoundé, Cameroon who managed to pile 2,000 people into the amphitheater at the University of Yaoundé to learn about open data and its potential to improve the lives of citizens in Cameroon. Furthermore, as if 2,000 people in an university amphitheater on a Saturday afternoon wasn't impressive enough, the event had 5,000 registered participants and incredible online engagement.
The NetSquared Yaoundé community brought together students, open data experts and professors to listen and learn about the importance of open data and specifically the benefits that open data can bring education, economic development, citizen engagement and government transparency and accountability. In a keynote talk, the president of the College of Law and Political Science at the University of Yaoundé emphasised the importance open data for researchers in Cameroon and West Africa as a whole, highlighting that access to open data allows researchers to better understand the challenges they are facing and to developed evidence based and locally specific solutions.
Our hats are off to the open data community in Cameroon, what an exceptional result!Tanzania
In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, open data day was attended by technologists, programmers, hackers, students, activists and NGOs, all of whom came together to grow the local open knowledge community, introduce newcomers to civic hacking and demonstrate the incredible storytelling power of data and data driven projects. Overall, the event was a great success. Several open data projects were presented and a number of open data challenges were identified discussed (for example, the lack of open licence, FOIA, and reluctance of government agencies to share data). Together, participants, shared their strategies to overcome these challenges and brainstormed an effective best path forward.
Participants acknowledged the very real challenge that the open movement is facing in Tanzania as some civil society groups still fail to see the value of coming together to collectively raise a louder voice in demanding open government data. Ultimately, participants determined that the open movement in Tanzania would benefit from increased community building efforts and targeting new partners in order to push the open agenda forward with a larger, more joined-up, base. The participants also determined that there was a need to encourage government officials to attend events like this in the future.Nigeria
In Nigeria, the open data community organised Benin City's first open data hackathon with resounding success.
The goal of the event was simple, to raise awareness for open data by using the agricultural sector as an example and demonstrating how data was being used by entrepreneurs in the sector. By the end of the day, organisers hoped that they would generate a pool of ideas on how to stimulate innovation within the agricultural sector through data driven applications and were pleased to report that a number of ideas emerged from the day's discussion. Keynote presentations were used to introduce key concepts and provide examples of open data. Subsequently, participants were asked to get their hands dirty and actually work with data and think about solutions to challenges within the sector.
Open Data Day participants in Benin City worked with agriculture data from the state's open data portal – www.data.edostate.gov.ng. The emerging projects are still in development phase and are not yet online but organisers were incredibly excited to see participants working with the data the government has been publishing!Uganda
Kampala, Uganda was bustling with open data day activities this year, so much so that hackathons were carried out across two weekends!
On February 28th, Reality Check organised an open data day event for journalists, researchers, entrepreneurs, students and technologists. This followed up on data storytelling from the week before. Participants learned about the strengths and weaknesses of tools like videos, pictures, charts as well as about the various tools that are available. Participants learned how to clean and visualise data it in order to use it for effective storytelling. New visualisations were created as well. .. Check it out here.
The participants discussed the progress that had been made over the past year, specifically focusing on what worked and what didn't, in order to plan better for the year to come. The event was a great success and created such excitement among participants that many of them want to meet and discuss the subject on a monthly basis! In addition, a new google group as well as facebook page were opened to allow people can keep in touch and continue to engage with one another online as well as offline.
Finally, in February in Kampala, open data related activities were not limited to one off hackathons> check out the awesome Code for Africa Bootcamp organised the following week! February was a busy month for open data in Uganda!Tunisia
In Tunisia, Clibre organised a meetup with a diverse group of participants to celebrate open data day 2015! There were a number of participants with little to no technical knowledge and the goal of the meetup was to expose all participants to the concept of open data and open government as well as to discuss the legal implications of open government in light of the new Tunisian constitution.
Following the presentations and discussion, a number of initiatives using Open Data in Tunisia were presented. M. Nizar Kerkeni, president of the CLibre Association, presented the new open data portal developed for the city of Sayada. At the end of the day, after having had the chance to play around with the new data portal, M. Ramzi Hajjaji from CLibre announced that an official web portal for the city of Monastir would be launched soon, inspired by the portal developed for the city of Sayada.
You can check out a full report of the day (in French) on their website, along with a number of videos (in Arabic)!Kenya
Open Data Day in Mombasa, Kenya was celebrated by organising four separate focus groups in order to explore the potential of open data in the following key areas: security, economy, education & conservation.
The conservation group looked at data on everything from marine and wildlife conservation to the conservation of historic buildings and sites in Mombasa. They looked for various datasets, analysed the data and created various data visualisations documenting pertinent trends. The group exploring the potential of open data on the economy built a prototype for an open tendering system for the government of Kenya, scoping the necessary features and potential impact. The participants exploring open data in education brainstormed various ways in which open data could help parents and students make more informed choices about where they go to school. Finally, in the security group, participants discussed and hacked on ways that they could use open data to combat corruption and fraud.South Africa
In South Africa, Code for South Africa organised an Data Easter Egg Hunt! If you want to find out more, check out the awesome video they made on the day!
Roy Tennant: Bringing CRUD Operations to Linked Data
Those who have labored in the database orchard know about CRUD. It isn't the stuff you scraped off your shoe, but a set of operations that must be supported for typical database maintenance:
- C = Create a record.
- R = Read a record.
- U = Update a record.
- D = Delete a record.
Then Linked Data came along, which is not typically stored in a standard database, but in a strange beast called a triplestore. To support the need to keep linked data up-to-date, and often through a web-based interface, the W3C is working on a standard for a Linked Data Platform that supports these types of operations via standard HTTP requests such as "GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE", and a new one, "PATCH".
Your best bet on getting up to speed is to take a look at the W3C's Linked Data Platform 1.0 Primer. The latest version is hot off the press.

DPLA: DPLA and Museums: #MuseumWeek 2015
This week, DPLA is participating in #MuseumWeek, an online conversation about and celebration of museums across the globe. It is a great way to share our voice with the wider museum and cultural heritage community, but also an opportunity to highlight DPLA's involvement with museum collections.
In DPLA as a whole, museums make up the third largest type of contributing institution, behind university and public libraries. Besides the wealth of information (over 1 million items!) we have from our content Partner, the Smithsonian and all its associated museums, like the Cooper Hewitt and the Natural History Museum, there is an incredible amount of valuable content from other contributing museums. These include art museums, such as the Yale University Art Gallery, the Walters Art Museum and the National Gallery of Art. There is even content from institutions abroad, like the Museum Victoria, London's Natural History Museum and the Royal Ontario Museum.
The museum content available through DPLA also offers unique insights into American history. From the Tubman African American Museum, for example, you can access art and civil rights related content. There is also Native American art and design material available through DPLA, via the Pueblo Grande Museum. Photographs of Japanese-Americans in World War II internment camps are part of a collection from the Topaz Museum. These are just a snapshot of the museum content that is searchable and shareable via DPLA.
It's more than just searchable and shareable, however. In addition to being featured on DPLA's social media channels, museum content is often reused as part of our educational outreach. Many of DPLA's exhibitions highlight items from museums–giving their digital content new use for students at varying grade levels.
Beyond the opportunity for access to new audiences, DPLA is committed to its participation in the museum community. In addition to celebrating #MuseumWeek, our Director for Content Emily Gore recently presented at theVisual Resources Association conference, and many of this year's new Community Reps members program work in museums. For example, rep Kirsten Terry works as a librarian at the Arab American National Museum in Michigan. Rep Al Bersch works at the Oakland Museum of California, and Janice Lea Lurie is with the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (after a long career in museums!). We have a community rep from the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Samantha Norling, and the Women's Museum of California, Bonnie R. Domingos, as well as the Corning Museum of Glass, Rebecca Hopman. We even have one representative from a historic house museum, Julie Goforth, who works at Oatlands in Virginia.
Just as museums place value on their role as public service institutions, DPLA shares that same mission of education and public access. So, help DPLA celebrate those values and the museum institutions that support them by following our social media channels this #MusemWeek and share your favorite #DPLAmuseum with us!
Dan Cohen: What's the Matter with Ebooks?
[As you may have noticed, I haven't posted to this blog for over a year. I've been extraordinarily busy with my new job. But I'm going to make a small effort to reinvigorate this space, adding my thoughts on evolving issues that I'd like to explore without those thoughts being improperly attributed to the Digital Public Library of America. This remains my personal blog, and you should consider these my personal views. I will also be continuing to post on DPLA's blog, as I have done on this topic of ebooks.]
Over the past two years I've been tracking ebook adoption, and the statistics are, frankly, perplexing. After Amazon released the Kindle in 2007, there was a rapid growth in ebook sales and readership, and the iPad's launch three years later only accelerated the trend.
Then something odd happened. By most media accounts, ebook adoption has plateaued at about a third of the overall book market, and this stall has lasted for over a year now. Some are therefore taking it as a Permanent Law of Reading: There will be electronic books, but there will always be more physical books. Long live print!
I read both e- and print books, and I appreciate the arguments about the native advantages of print. I am a digital subscriber to the New York Times, but every Sunday I also get the printed version. The paper feels expansive, luxuriant. And I do read more of it than the daily paper on my iPad, as many articles catch my eye and the flipping of pages requires me to confront pieces that I might not choose to read based on a square inch of blue-tinged screen. (Also, it's Sunday. I have more time to read.) Even though I read more ebooks than printed ones at this point, it's hard not to listen to the heart and join the Permanent Law chorus.
But my mind can't help but disagree with my heart. Yours should too if you run through a simple mental exercise: jump forward 10 or 20 or 50 years, and you should have a hard time saying that the e-reading technology won't be much better—perhaps even indistinguishable from print, and that adoption will be widespread. Even today, studies have shown that libraries that have training sessions for patrons with iPads and Kindles see the use of ebooks skyrocket—highlighting that the problem is in part that today's devices and ebook services are hard to use. Availability of titles, pricing (compared to paperback), DRM, and a balkanization of ebook platforms and devices all dampen adoption as well.
But even the editor of the New York Times understands the changes ahead, despite his love for print:
How long will print be around? At a Loyola University gathering in New Orleans last week, the executive editor [of the Times], Dean Baquet, noted that he "has as much of a romance with print as anyone." But he also admitted, according to a Times-Picayune report, that "no one thinks there will be a lot of print around in 40 years."
Forty years is a long time, of course—although it is a short time in the history of the book. The big question is when the changeover will occur—next year, in five years, in Baquet's 2055?
The tea leaves, even now, are hard to read, but I've come to believe that part of this cloudiness is because there's much more dark reading going on than the stats are showing. Like dark matter, dark reading is the consumption of (e)books that somehow isn't captured by current forms of measurement.
For instance, usually when you hear about the plateauing of ebook sales, you are actually hearing about the sales of ebooks from major publishers in relation to the sales of print books from those same publishers. That's a crucial qualification. But sales of ebooks from these publishers is just a fraction of overall e-reading. By other accounts, which try to shine light on ebook adoption by looking at markets like Amazon (which accounts for a scary two-thirds of ebook sales), show that a huge and growing percentage of ebooks are being sold by indie publishers or authors themselves rather than the bigs, and a third of them don't even have ISBNs, the universal ID used to track most books.
The commercial statistics also fail to account for free e-reading, such as from public libraries, which continues to grow apace. The Digital Public Library of America and other sites and apps have millions of open ebooks, which are never chalked up as a sale.
Similarly, while surveys of the young continue to show their devotion to paper, yet other studies have shown that about half of those under 30 read an ebook in 2013, up from a quarter of Millennials in 2011—and that study is already dated. Indeed, most of the studies that highlight our love for print over digital are several years old (or more) at this point, a period in which large-format, high-resolution smartphone adoption (much better for reading) and new all-you-can-read ebook services, such as Oyster, Scribd, and Kindle Unlimited, have emerged. Nineteen percent of Millennials have already subscribed to one of these services, a number considered low by the American Press Institute, but which strikes me as remarkably high, and yet another contributing factor to the dark reading mystery.
I'm a historian, not a futurist, but I suspect that we're not going to have to wait anywhere near forty years for ebooks to become predominant, and that the "plateau" is in part a mirage. That may cause some hand-wringing among book traditionalists, an emotion that is understandable: books are treasured artifacts of human expression. But in our praise for print we forget the great virtues of digital formats, especially the ease of distribution and greater access for all—if done right.

Holgorsen: Young Team Needs to Grow Up
No. 1 on Dana Holgorsen's list of things that he says needs immediately addressed with his football team is improving their mental toughness. That is now clear after observing West Virginia's last two losses to Texas Tech and Kansas State when the Mountaineers were out of those games by halftime.
"My message to the team after the (Kansas State) game was we need to grow up," Holgorsen said Monday morning. "We need to become a mature football team. We got beat by a mature football team and we need to become a mature football team. We need to be mentally tough, we need to be physically tough, and we need to improve ourselves each and every day."
Heading into this year, it was evident that West Virginia had a veteran backfield with Geno Smith and Shawne Alston returning, an experienced offensive line, and some proven big-play guys such as Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey in the receiver corps. But what slipped by all of us was the large number of inexperienced players that was going to be needed in supporting roles.
There were true freshmen slated to play this year, particularly on defense, but that number has only swelled since the beginning of the season. Two weeks ago against Texas Tech, Holgorsen pulled wide receiver Travares Copeland's redshirt and he ended up earning a start last Saturday against Kansas State.
Last weekend, true freshman Devonte Robinson saw his first taste of college action against the Wildcats, bringing the number of true freshman that have played so far to 12. When you add redshirts to the equation, there were 18 freshmen and true freshmen that saw action during last Saturday's ballgame against fourth-ranked Kansas State. By comparison, Kansas State played 10 freshmen, and of those 10, only one (redshirt freshman left guard Cody Whitehair) was in the starting lineup. K-State also played 21 seniors, including nine senior starters on defense.
Eighteen is a high number of freshmen to see the field – a total you would expect from a rebuilding program, not one some were touting as a national title contender.
Having to play this many freshmen is not a formula for success at any level, especially in a power conference such as the Big 12, and now West Virginia's youth is beginning to rear its ugly head as the season wears on.
"Young kids don't know how to be mentally tough," Holgorsen explained. "It takes being in those situations to truly understand it. It's hard to compare ourselves with Kansas State because they're a mature team and we're not right now. From a program standpoint it's kind of a model. From a teamwork standpoint, we'll strive to get ourselves into that position."
With a national championship clearly out of the picture, and a Big 12 title also unlikely, West Virginia's focus now has to be on getting better each week and finishing the season strong.
"All these other teams that exist, depth is a question for every team and every program, but when you can replace guys with older, more mature guys from a backup standpoint you have a chance of winning games," Holgorsen explained.
Following six grueling weeks of play, West Virginia will have two weeks to get some of its walking wounded healed, including Alston, who has been out with a deep thigh bruise since the James Madison game. On Sunday, Alston revealed on twitter that he plans on playing against TCU on Nov. 3, and that should help the offense if he does get clearance to go.
"I don't know if he's going to play or not," said Holgorsen. "It's going to take some practice time in order for him to earn some playing time back and show us that he's able to do that. That is no different than anybody else on the team. He makes us better. He does a good job, brings maturity, brings toughness, and brings a physical style of play that we're lacking a little bit in the run game. He would be good to get out there, but we have to make sure he can get through practice first."
This week, Holgorsen said some of his coaches will spend part of their time out on the road recruiting.
"We've got some guys out (recruiting on Monday) locally seeing how we can't get on an airplane because we've got to be back for practice Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday," he said. "We will focus hard on fundamentals. We will try and heal some guys up and then put the ball down and play a little bit, especially with a bunch of young guys.
"Then we will have seven (coaches) out on Friday and Saturday all across the country trying to find some guys who can come in here and help us right away," he said. "We will get back to work on a normal routine on Sunday getting ready for TCU."
Meanwhile, Holgorsen will try and rebuild his team's fragile state of mind.
"The mental aspect of reaching your team is always a challenge, but we've got to get their confidence back and the only way you can do that is by bringing them in and talking to them and getting them out there in practice and working on some specific things," he said. "You've got to take them one at a time. We play in a good league and everybody understands that; we got off to kind of a hot start but we had some issues that a pretty good Texas Tech team and a real good Kansas State team exposed a little bit."

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is recognized as a major health problem worldwide, and its prevalence depends on the age range of the subjects. The aims of this study were to determine the current prevalence of AR, effects of age on the prevalence of IgE sensitization to inhalant allergens, and serum total IgE levels in Japanese subjects. Methods: We conducted a survey of 1,540 subjects between 20 and 49 years of age in 2006 and 2007 and examined the prevalence of AR and sensitization to 7 common aeroallergens. We measured serum total IgE and specific IgE to 7 aeroallergens. AR was determined based on symptoms, predominantly in the nose and eyes, caused by aeroallergens as mentioned in a questionnaire and sensitization to any of the 7 aeroallergens as assessed by measurement of serum specific IgE. Results: The prevalence of AR was 44.2% (681 of the 1,540 subjects) and there was no difference among age decades. Of the 1,540 subjects, 1,073 (69.7%) were sensitized to at least 1 of the 7 aeroallergens. The most common allergen in AR was Japanese cedar pollen (89.6%, 610 of the 681 with AR) in all the age decades examined. The sensitization rate to mites was significantly higher in the younger subjects. Conclusion: Our data suggest that the prevalence of AR between 20 and 49 years of age has increased by nearly 10% during the last 10 years. Cedar pollen and mites were predominant allergen sources among the 7 aeroallergens in the Japanese population.

Word of the Day / Adloyada
The name for the annual Purim parade comes from an Aramaic phrase telling us how drunk to get on the holiday.
Text size
The Talmudic sage Rabba tells us that on the Jewish holiday of Purim, which takes place on Sunday in most of the world, Jews are obligated to get so drunk that they can't tell the difference between two of the holiday's main protagonists: Haman the cursed and Mordecai the blessed. Rabba uses the Aramaic phrase ad d'lo yada, meaning "until he doesn't know" to describe just how wasted people...

Beverages range from espresso to entwine, the Food Network's wine brand, to locally-inspired cocktails like Lansky's Run, named for the Prohibition-era gangster Meyer Lansky.
The design of the restaurant resembles the cable network's test kitchen: a butcher block bar counter, subway tiling, stainless steel surfaces and pots and pans hanging in a row — only here, they hang behind a cash register.
The network's logo is plastered on everything from to-go boxes to brown paper bags filled with jelly beans and chocolate-covered pretzels. Most of the TVs are tuned to the Food Network, though some show sports or news. There are also some fun facts on display: A poster near the cash register details local ingredients used in the meals, while paper placemats explain how to filet a fish and describe different cuts of beef.
"We really wanted to bring our culinary expertise to the forefront and bring the brand to life," Food Network's Kuharsky said. "I think people are going to be drawn to the brand, but it also comes down to taste."
But while the network has already put its name on consumer products like frying pans and candles, along with its concession stand and stadium food, serving quality food at an airport restaurant presents different challenges.
"Branding on the front lines has the most exposure and is different than putting your name on a logo," said Chris Tripoli, president of A'la Carte Foodservice Consulting Group, who has worked on food concepts in airports across the country. "Now that you have exposed yourself to the end user, your reputation, that Food Network brand, is going to be judged on the temperature of the green beans that day or by every bite of the sandwich."
Tripoli added that Food Network staffers on the restaurant's front lines "know their brand is only going to be as good as their last meal."
The Food Network and Delaware North Companies plan to open more outlets in the spring at the busy JetBlue terminal. Another Food Network Kitchen is scheduled to open at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport by the end of 2013.

A former New York City drug detective who currently manages the city's jail system was named police chief today.
Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, appointed his longtime friend police Corrections Commissioner Bernard Kerik to head the 41,000-strong force, which is the nation's largest.
"This has been a dream from many, many years ago, when I started in law enforcement," said Kerik, 44. "This is something I dreamed of, something I thought would never happen."
Kerik's NYPD colleagues predict the rank-and-file will embrace him quickly.
"He's a cop's cop," said Sgt. Jerry Kane, who worked with Kerik at Manhattan's Midtown South Precinct in the 1980s. "He was the best street cop I ever worked with."
Minorities Criticize Process
But Rev. Al Sharpton, a critic of Giuliani and outgoing Police Commissioner Howard Safir, said minority community and political leaders feel betrayed by Kerik's appointment—especially in light of Giuliani's promise to reach out to them after he dropped out of the U.S. Senate race in May.
"The real police commissioner is Mr. Giuliani, and he just appointed his first deputy, Mr. Kerik," said Sharpton at his National Action Network headquarters in Harlem.
If Giuliani had been "sincere" in his promise to reach out, "he should have met with a cross-section of leaders" before choosing a new commissioner, instead of consulting only "his own circle," Sharpton added.
Norman Siegel, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, urged that Kerik begin his tenure by meeting with civil rights officials and community leaders to address issues of police brutality.
After accepting the job, Kerik told reporters he will be there for all New Yorkers and will listen to their concerns.
"I'm going to visit the cops, I'm going to visit the communities. I think they will be seeing a lot of me," he said.
Three incidents marred Safir's four-year tenure in office and created a wide gap between the NYPD and minorities: the police torture of Haitian immigrant Abner Louima, and the fatal police shootings of West African immigrant Amadou Diallo and Patrick Dorismond.
Giuliani said race relations between the community and the police was only one factor in his decision to choose Kerik over Chief of Department Joseph Dunne, who was named today as the NYPD's first deputy commissioner, the second-in-command. Dunne, 52, had a strong rapport with minority groups when he was a police commander in Brooklyn.
Dunne Will Support Team
Dunne, who looked visibly upset, said he'd be lying if he said he wasn't "terribly disappointed" at not getting the top job.
But Dunne reassured Kerik that he would support him. "Commissioner Kerik, we're a team now," he said.
Giuliani praised Kerik for his three-year tenure at the Corrections Department, where he has earned the respect of the 12,400 employees, 76 percent whom are black or Hispanic. He oversees approximately 130,000 inmate admissions yearly in the city's 16 jails, 15 court holding pens and four hospital wards.
"Bernie has (one) thing so important as police commissioner - having served as a police officer, understanding the difficulties and split second decisions an officer has to make," Giuliani said. "He brings a quality of leadership."
