Article: Predictors of Normal Optic Nerve Head, Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer, and Macular Parameters Measured by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the effects of signal strength, age, sex, optic disc size, and axial length on the normal optic nerve head (ONH), retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and macular measurements with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). In an observational, cross-sectional study, 119 eyes of 60 normal subjects of Indian origin underwent ONH, RNFL, and macular imaging with SD-OCT during the same visit. Linear mixed-modeling methods were used to evaluate the effects of signal strength, age, sex, optic disc area, and axial length on ONH, RNFL, and macular measurements. ONH rim measurements increased and cup measurements decreased with increasing signal strengths. For a 10-unit increase in signal strength, total rim area increased by a mean of 0.1 mm(2). ONH measurements also increased with increasing optic disc size. Rim measurements decreased and cup measurements increased with increasing axial length. None of the predictors influenced RNFL measurements. Macular inner retinal thickness decreased by a mean of 1.7 μm and macular full retinal thickness decreased by an average of 3.4 μm for every decade's increase in age. Sex did not influence any of the measurements. Signal strength, optic disc size, and axial length had a significant effect on ONH measurements, whereas age had a significant effect on macular measurements. None of the predictors evaluated influenced the RNFL measurements. These predictors should be considered when evaluating change in the structural measurements in glaucoma over time.Investigative ophthalmology & visual science 11/2010; 52(2):1103-10.

Article: Evaluation of Central Corneal Thickness Measurement With RTVue Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography in Normal Subjects[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To determine (1) repeatability of central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (RTVue; Optovue, Inc, Fremont, CA) and (2) agreement between CCT measurements by RTVue and those by ultrasonic pachymetry, Orbscan, and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT). In a prospective observational study, 2 cohorts of normal subjects were recruited. In the first cohort (51 subjects), 5 measurements of CCT were obtained by RTVue during the same visit to determine the repeatability. In the second cohort (65 subjects), CCT measurements were obtained by RTVue, ultrasonic pachymetry, Orbscan, and ASOCT during the same visit to determine the agreement among these instruments. Repeatability was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), within-subject standard deviation, coefficient of repeatability, and within-subject coefficient of variation. Agreement was assessed by ICC and Bland and Altman plots. Repeatability of CCT measurements by RTVue as assessed by ICC, within-subject standard deviation, coefficient of repeatability, and within-subject coefficient of variation was 0.99 (0.99-0.99), 2.2 (1.9-2.5), 4.2 μm (3.6-4.8), and 0.4% (0.3-0.5), respectively. The average CCT by RTVue (529 μm) was comparable to that by ultrasonic pachymetry (539 μm; P = 0.15), Orbscan (536 μm; P = 0.54), and ASOCT (526 μm; P = 0.77). The 95% limits of agreement on Bland and Altman plots ranged from 20 μm (between RTVue and ASOCT) to 33 μm (between RTVue and Orbscan). CCT measurements by RTVue have an excellent repeatability. Although CCT measurements by RTVue are comparable to that by ultrasonic pachymetry, Orbscan, and ASOCT, the difference between instruments can be significant depending on the clinical situation considered.Cornea 09/2010; 30(2):121-6.

Four new Alicats for E.ON
Alicat is kicking off 2013 with four new windfarm service vessels for E.ON
The UK's Alicat Workboats has been contracted to construct four bespoke aluminium catamarans for the UK energy supplier E.ON later this year – the first will serve E.ON's Robin Rigg windfarm off the Solway Firth.
The deal will see four 19m high speed windfarm service vessels built which will be capable of reaching speeds of up to 30 knots. Each vessel will cost in the region of £1.7m, according to Alicat.
Steve Thacker, general manager, Alicat Workboats, said: "At Alicat we are committed to the aftercare of the vessels as we are to building them in the first place and we look forward to forming a close working relationship during the construction of these vessels and beyond."
This is the first new contract of the year for the Great Yarmouth firm, which last September delivered its third vessel, The Dalby Trent, to Dalby Offshore.
Since the first Alicat made its appearance at Seawork 2010, investment in Alicat's Great Yarmouth yard has been significantly ramped up and the company will be back again in 2013.
Alicat Workboats is owned by the Gardline Group, which last October also took on the business and assets of British boatbuilder, South Boats Special Projects Ltd.

Nick Iannelli, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Gun control advocates are launching a new push for legislative action through a striking display along the National Mall.
With the Capitol building as a backdrop, organizers set up more than 3,000 crosses in the ground Thursday.
"Each one commemorates a life that has been lost since the massacre at Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut," explains Tim King, an organizer with Sojourners.
As the Senate grows closer to a possible deal regarding broader background checks for gun sales, King hopes the vigil will draw more attention to the issue.
"Laws give structure to our society, and we need legislative change."
Speakers on the docket include religious leaders from Newtown, the site of the December massacre that left 20 children dead.
They will ask lawmakers to act.
"They are also calling for changes in our hearts and in our communities," says King.
People who set up the display along the mall include groups and individuals personally affected by gun violence.
"It's something we live with," says Angela Strange with DC Parkview Kid Zone, a nonprofit that works with inner-city children in the District.
"Gun violence is something everyone in our community has had to deal with in one way or another."

Mobile SIG
WCA Mobile SIG presents: Smartphone-Connected Mobile Things: Beyond the Wearables
May 7th 2015, 6:00pm - 9:00pm (Check-in begins at 6pm, Event starts at 7pm)
Venue: Cadence Design Systems - Building 10 Auditorium, Cadence Place, San Jose, CA 95134
Cost: $20 through April 26th, $30 afterwards. There will be a drawing for some free mThings courtesy of Broadcom, Variable, and NewSpin Sports! Light meals, drinks, and refreshments will be provided.
With half of the global population connected to Mobile Internet by 2020 and smartphones and app platforms peaking in maturity (in form, fit & function) the next era of mobile industry is shaping up -- Smartphone-connected Mobile Things (mThings). Ironically, the most compelling values to consumers are simplicity (non-invasive UX) and practical usefulness -- one size does not fit all users. The lack of consumer traction with "me too" wearables that merely present contextless set of data provides good evidence.
Conversely, smartphone-connected mThings that are attractive to consumers tend to give one specialized value very convincingly yet in a very simple, intuitive way. Take, for example, a modular device that senses various object colors or ambient air quality, or motion sensor mounts that coach your golf or tennis swings, or molecular sensor device that analyzes chemical make-up of food and materials, or a smart key lock or a tag that interacts with your valuables, or a smarter wearable that gives actionable, specialized health advice not sensors data -- all of which simply work with any Android phones or iPhones and an app as a hub. These smart mThings will delight consumer's specific needs for useful contexts that are actually valued – each consumer could end up owning a portfolio of mThings that matter most for him/her and work with any smartphone. Depending on market traction, we may soon see mThings winners selling in the tens of millions to loyal consumers, compared to the "me too" wearables that ends up selling in fragmented tens of thousands units.
So, what specific smart contexts sensing and UX enabled by such mThings would offer the biggest market growth opportunities and improve consumer daily lives? How is the consumerization of the industrial / military / medical-grade technologies enabling such disruptive consumer devices by way of miniaturization of electronics footprint and smarter sensors? Will the most widely adopted mThings UX eventually be integrated into smartphones, or will cost/form-factor restrictions prevent that? Smartphone Bluetooth pairing issues pervade and Wi-Fi is too power hungry - so, will connectivity challenges slow down adoption? Also, how can mThings connected through smartphone app hubs converge with broader IoT ecosystems? What compelling killer apps and services will be built around mThings? How should API and ecosystem evolve as more similar featured mThings makers pervade to avoid fragmentations seen in wearables?
Our panel of innovators will address these and other questions. This event will focus on mThings that extend smartphones and shadow the consumers, as opposed to general IoT or connected home devices that work independently of smartphones. They will discuss how such mThings trends will fuel the next era of mobile industry growth. This WCA event will enlighten you on what disruptive technologies, unique opportunities and challenges will arise as the mThings ecosystem matures.
Register now to attend this event. There will be a drawing for some free mThings courtesy of Broadcom, Variable, and NewSpin Sports! Light meals and refreshments will be provided.

About the WCA Mobile SIG
The WCA Mobile SIG serves as a forum for communication, exchange of ideas, and partnership in the mobile eco-system. Given the broad nature of the mobile market, this SIG acts to some extent as an umbrella over the more vertically-integrated SIGs such as LBS but also provides insight and education on spectrum issues, mobile operating systems, use models, and associated issues.

Printable March newsletter (pdf)
Printable March calendar (pdf)
Email Newsnotes and receive a notice each time a new issue is posted.
Meet Kelsey Timmerman (and find out where's he eating)
Author Kelsey Timmerman will be at the library Monday, March 16th to talk with library visitors about his travels and his books Where Am I Wearing? and Where Am I Eating? The free program begins at 6:00 pm.
While some folks can track the origin of the tomatoes in their salads to Grandma's garden (well, at least if Grandma's got a garden in Indiana in August), most would need to do a lot more detective work to know just where their food on the plate came from. Timmerman sought out the origin of some of his favorite foods and visited — and tried to work alongside — those who produced them. It made for a different kind of travel experience and writing.
Timmerman's writing takes him around the world, far from his childhood home in Ohio and current hometown of Muncie, yet connects to everyday food and clothing.
If you would like to purchase a copy of either of his books for him to autograph at the event please fill out an order form at the library before March 5th. Cost of each book, including sales tax, is $13.24. Payment must accompany each order. Books are expected to arrive March 7th.
Learn more about Kelsey and his books.

Board Update: Welcome Kathy Carpenter
Kathy Carpenter was recently appointed by the Jay County School Corporation as a new member of the library's board of trustees. She replaces Duane Sautbine who served on the board the past eight years. Carpenter, a resident of Portland, has worked at First National Bank, FCC, and is currently the manager of the Portland branch of the First Bank of Berne. A graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University, she has been very active in service to the community with the Optimist Club, Jay County Hospital Foundation, and the United Way. She is excited to get to learn more about JCPL and lend her expertise to the leadership and direction to the library.
Programs for children are on the increase at the library. It's part of continuing in the direction indicated by our long range plan. Check the Kidsheet for details about new programs. Watch the displays when you visit the library building and see what's up for the kids.
Keep an ear open too for some of our outreach programs that show up in other parts of our community.

"There are probably some gardeners who are already dreaming of this!"
A staff member was oohing and aahing over the newly arrived gardening book about to go on the shelf. She was sure that someone out there would NEED this book to get started on the gardening season despite the snow.
The book was dramatically titled Epic tomatoes : how to select & grow the best varieties of all time by Craig LeHoullier.
Sure enough, by press time it was checked out.
Don't worry! We have more books for gardeners. Come dream of spring with the library!
In 2014 the Friends supplemented the library's programs for children, teens and adults with more nearly $1000 in additional funding. The Friends also help out with funds when an extra piece of equipment would enhance services for the community or provide for getting the word out to the public.
That's in addition to the cookie baking, event hosting, kid wrangling, newsletter folding and other volunteer work they do throughout the year. Friends also put in a good word for the library around the community to let others know about the resources available — prepaid by all and for all in the community. Thank a Friend and become a Friend!
Next regular Friends of the Library meeting is Tuesday, March 17th at 6:30 p.m.

Reese Witherspoon's Star-Studded Wedding: Juicy New Details!

When Reese Witherspoon wed Jim Toth at her Ojai, Calif. ranch on Saturday evening, the couple was 90 miles north of Los Angeles, but the vibe of the night was a universe away from Hollywood glitz!
UsMagazine.com has brand-new details on the Oscar winner's big-time nuptials.
RELATED VIDEO: Get all of the details on Reese's wedding
In a courtyard in front of the Ojai house, the Monique Lhuillier-clad actress, 35, and CAA agent Toth, 40, exchanged vows and William Goldberg wedding bands beneath a canopy.
About 120 family members and friends-- including Sean Penn, Scarlett Johansson, Renee Zellweger, Tobey Maguire and wife Jennifer Meyer, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves, Alyssa Milano, Colin Hanks, Isla Fisher and hubby Sacha Baron Cohen -- were on hand for the bash.
Reverend Jimmy Bartz, of the Santa Monica church regularly attended by the couple, officiated the 20-minute service, and Witherspoon's children (with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe), Ava, 11, and Deacon, 7, participated in the ceremony.
Matron of honor duties went to Witherspoon's best friend, Heather Rosenfield, whose little boys served as ring bearers; the star's nieces were flower girls.
In a fitting turn for the Southern-born actress, a bluegrass band played "Tennessee Waltz" as the processional music for Toth and the kids, segueing to "Here Comes the Bride" for Witherspoon's walk, and playing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" during the ceremony.
Immediately following the "I do" exchange, guests retreated to a one-hour cocktail party behind the house.
The special night's theme? Rustic farm-style, of course! (At her bucolic Ojai spread, Witherspoon gardens and keeps horses, donkeys, pigs, goats and chickens.) The outdoor decor included lanterns and chandeliers hanging from trees, mismatched antique chairs and distressed benches set throughout the property, a wood plank dance floor, antique leather sofas, jute rugs, wagon wheels and Turkish-textile pillows.
Different arrangements of white, blush and lavender flowers were set up on each table in mason jars, fish-catcher lanterns and antique pots. And large, moss-covered pots with lavender were set up all over the estate.
When it was time for dinner, guests sat down at long tables in a fabric-lined tent behind the house. On the menu, catered by L.A. eatery Lucques: endive salad with olives and fava beans; wild striped bass with potatoes, chanterelles and garlic; mustard grilled chicken with haricorts verts and herb roasted lamb with braised artichokes. For dessert? A grand wedding cake designed by Erica O'Brien, a separate table of sweet treats -- and a s'mores lounge!
After the meal, guests boogied on the dance floor to DJ-spun tunes. When it was time to call it a night, revelers departed clutching gift bags with pecan currant scones from a local baker.
Says a pal of the couple, who began dating in January 2010: "They feel like they've hit the jackpot in this relationship!"

1. Introduction to the Study of Effective Literacy Teaching Practices in the Early School Years
When we began the national study that is presented in this monograph, some of us had recently completed another Australia-wide research project that examined provision in Australian primary schools for students with learning difficulties in literacy and numeracy (Louden et al., 2000). In the guest editorial for a special edition of the Australian Journal of Learning Disabilities that was devoted to the project findings we called for
An end to the phonics versus whole language debate, in view of agreement between many researchers about the important elements of effective early literacy programs that transcends this issue. (Rohl, 2000, p. 3)
Since that time there has been continuing media comment on the teaching of early literacy and proposed causes of literacy learning difficulties, with headlines such as 'Phonics at core of new literacy war' (The Australian, 21 April 2004) and 'No wonder this kid is in trouble ... literacy is plummeting, teachers are floundering and parents are fast losing patience' (The Bulletin, 1 March 2005). Some of this interest has been based on publication of the findings of the National Reading Panel (2000) in the United States that examined a small range of reading-related variables, including phonics, using what it called an 'evidence-based assessment of the scientific research literature on reading and its implications for reading instruction' of the type normally used in research studies on the efficacy of interventions in the psychological and medical fields.
Recently, within Australia, a National Inquiry into the Teaching of Literacy has undertaken 'a broad, independent examination of reading research, teacher preparation and practices for the teaching of literacy, particularly reading' with a particular focus on approaches for helping students with learning difficulties (www.dest.gov.au/sectors/school _education/policy_initiatives_reviews/key_issues/literacy_numeracy/ national_inquiry/default.htm).
This is the political context for our description of a national study (1) in which effective teachers of early literacy in Australian primary schools were identified, observed and their teaching practices compared to those of less effective teachers. We focus in this monograph on what the effective teachers did in their classrooms. More detail of the literature review, methodology and findings of the study can be found in the final project report (see Louden, Rohl, Barratt-Pugh, Brown, Cairney, Elderfield, House, Meiers, Rivalland & Rowe, 2005). …

Simple Mobile Kisosk :( in Valley Fair Mall - West Valley City - Utah -
by PennMur , 02/20/2012
The Simple Mobile Kiosk in the West Valley Fair Mall in Utah is the WORST!! They promise a free month of service due to one of their employees stealing my money last month... When it comes time for them to give me that promised free month they say NO :( :( BAD Customer Service!!
great mall
by Donahue , 04/07/2011
I truly enjoy this mall! many of my favorite stores are there and they have great food at the food court. I have noticed that they don't allow customers to remain in the mall after closing hours prob due to safety reasons.
Mary Carlson
by Mary , 12/06/2010
I was Christmas shopping with my grandchildren and we stopped at the food court for a snack before going home. As we sat down I heard the intercom say the mall was closing, we continued to eat as a Janitor was loudly moving tables and chairs next to us then told us and another family near us that we had 4 minutes to get out or he would call security. I believe the food court should give shoppers enough time to eat what they purchase before throwing us out
There are many good stores to choose from here
by lullabyelady , 10/30/2007
This mall has a lot of choices for shopping. With Mervin's, Penney's and Macey's all together plus dozen's of other specialty stores it's a good place to go and get a lot of shopping done in a short time. Also the new Cosco is nextdoor to this Mall to the south and a Toy's R Us store is across the way so it's easy to do a lot of looking in a reasonably short time. It's even close by a Salt Lake County library so you could drop your due books off on the same errand. With gas prices rising it makes sense to combine your trips. Happy shopping!!!

Reconstructing ocean spreading when half your record is now in the mantle (or: a plug for my new paper)
If you're studying the last 100 million years or so of plate tectonics, the history of sea-floor spreading recorded by the magnetic stripes that parallel and extend away from the Earth's ocean ridges is a key source of information. Each … Continue reading

It's important to keep yourself prepared for every gig. Your guitar may look great and your amp may be top of the line, but without cables no one is ever going to hear them. Luckily, there is a wide assortment of instrument cables available to suit the needs of any musician. You might be surprised to learn that there are a lot of things to keep in mind when you're purchasing instrument cables. First you need to ask yourself "What am I going to be using this for?" Different cables are ideal for different jobs. For example, if you're daisy chaining your collection of pedals, you may want to check out the DiMarzio Jumper Cable Pedal Coupler or the Musician's Gear Pedal Coupler Cable Angled. Both are conveniently sized to allow you to maximize your pedal setup without having to deal with annoying tangles. However, there are times when a shorter cable simply will not do, especially if you want the freedom to roam the stage while you're performing. With options available ranging from 4 feet to over 25 feet, you won't feel restricted to one area of when you're playing your instrument. For those who are looking for a little flash when they're playing, there are several instrument cables available to help you stand out. The Musician's Gear Tweed Right Angle Instrument Cable offers a seriously hip design that's definitely going to complement your style. If you're into more of a retro vibe, the Lava Retro Coil 20 Foot Instrument Cable Straight-Right Angle is a total blast from the past, with a cool, head turning coil design. Durable cables are easily overlooked for their role in your sound, but without them, you're probably not going to get very far. With an assortment of cables at your disposal, you will be ready to plug in and play without issue, making them a must have for any musician.

Thai Airways this week became the latest airline to take delivery of the Airbus A380.
A 64-year-old woman died on a flight to New York Sunday morning.
British Airways is reportedly in talks to defer initial deliveries of the Airbus A380 superjumbos it has on order.
The second Airbus A380 for Malaysia Airlines put on quite the performance at the Farnborough Airshow last week.
United Airlines President and CEO Jeff Smisek is looking for aircraft larger than the A350-900, but has seemingly ruled out the Airbus A380.
A month after delivery to Malaysia Airlines in a mostly-white scheme, painters of the carrier's first A380 have added a colorful new livery.
The first Thai Airways Airbus A380 was rolled out of the paint hangar following completion of painting and cabin installation in Hamburg.
The wing crack issue that has plagued the Airbus A380 over recent months is going to cost millions of dollars to correct, but who is actually responsible for the repairs?
Certain reports could have led one to believe that Emirates Flight 241was in peril due to a low fuel emergency on June 1, but the truth was far less titillating.

MY LIFE IS A REAL DRAMA; He's Played Churchill and Mad King George, but Simon Ward's Toughest Role Was Coping When His Married Daughter Came Out
Byline: by Lisa Sewards
SIMON WARD is the highly regarded, artistocratic-looking actor who became famous overnight for his portrayal of Churchill in Richard Attenborough's epic film Young Winston.
His golden hair and slim physique combined with his fine cheekbones and cut-glass accent made him the archetypal British public schoolboy, the Hugh Grant of his day.
He was plucked from nowhere to play Churchill, but, supported by a distinguished cast including Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft, Ward was tipped to be the next big star.
Indeed, the following year, he played the Duke of Buckingham in The Three Musketeers, Lt William Vereker in the 1979 film Zulu Dawn, vet James Herriot in the movie All Creatures Great And Small and Mr Linton alongside his own daughter, Sophie, in Wuthering Heights.
Today, however, as he struggles to catch his breath after rehearsing fight scenes for his latest role, his 69 years of a productive, but at times stressful, life are beginning to show.
His once-blond hair is thinning and silver, his cheekbones more emaciated and his statuesque frame notably frail.
'I shouldn't be doing fight scenes at my age,' pants Ward, who has the title role opposite Susan Penhaligon in Alan Bennett's criticallyacclaimed play The Madness Of George III.
'It's one of the best parts I've ever been asked to play -- but it's incredibly tiring because each time George comes back on stage, his mental illness is 50 times worse. You've got to feel pretty confident to do this role.' And how confident is he feeling, considering this play marks the first national tour since the original 1991 award-winning production by the National Theatre and the hit 1994 film starring Nigel Hawthorne? 'Oh, don't mention Nigel Hawthorne to me. He was rather good, wasn't he?' says Ward mock begrudgingly, before adding: 'In fact, he was wonderful. I always feel I can never be good enough and I've been tormented by it quite a lot.' Ward is highly strung, but with good reason, since his glittering life has taken a few dramatic turns.
First, there was the night in 1987 when he was found unconscious with a broken skull beside a canal in Camden, North London. No one was charged because there were no witnesses to the assault, even though it resulted in Ward undergoing major brain surgery.
Then, his model-turned-actress daughter Sophie, who was assumed to be happily married, stunned everyone when she 'came out' as a lesbian in 1996.
With her pre-Raphaelite looks, Sophie Ward was the Face of the Eighties and a former Vogue and Tatler cover girl.
Appearing with Elizabeth Taylor in Young Toscanini and as the female lead at the age of 19 in Steven Spielberg's Young Sherlock Holmes, Sophie was also a rising film star and, on the face of it, considered to have it all -- a loving marriage to handsome vet Paul Hobson, two young sons and an idyllic Cotswolds cottage.
But, secretly, she was battling with a depression she couldn't explain until eight years into her marriage -- when she realised her unhappiness stemmed from her attraction to women.
So while married, and with Paul's knowledge, Sophie began a string of short-lived relationships with women. …

Executive Order 9981: Equality in the military
Cast your vote for Executive Order 9981 to be displayed first in the new "Records of Rights" gallery. Polls close on November 15!
Today's post comes from Tammy Williams, archivist at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library
President Harry S. Truman spent his entire young adulthood in Missouri, a border state during the Civil War. Both of his sets of grandparents owned slaves. Many voters and politicians believed that Truman would carry his region's prejudices to the White House and would do comparatively little to advance the cause of civil rights. And so Truman's decision to issue Executive Order 9981 to provide for equality of treatment and opportunity in the military surprised many people.
What led President Truman to this decision? As African American soldiers returned to the United States from fighting overseas in World War II, they hoped to return to a more equitable society. However, many soldiers experienced openly hostile reactions from white Southerners as they wore their uniforms in their hometowns.
Two such cases made national headlines. In Aiken, South Carolina, a bus driver kicked Sergeant Isaac Woodward off … [ Read all ]

Burned and brittle records are in good hands
Over 5,000 requests for veterans' military personnel records are received every day at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis, MO.
Donna Judd spends each day carefully searching for valuable information for veterans in the documents left burned and brittle by the 1973 fire at the NPRC building. She looks for separation documents so that veterans can get benefits, and she sifts through damaged files to find information for medals.
"One record could take 5 minutes, another record could take 5 hours," she says.
The fire that swept through the sixth floor of the National Personnel Records Center on July 12, 1973, damaged and destroyed millions of documents. These records are needed—often urgently—by veterans in order to claim health benefits, receive medals, or secure a military burial.
When a request for a damaged record comes in, the file is pulled and then sent to a triage area where the Preservation staff assesses its condition. If the record is heavily damaged, it remains with the Preservation team. If it's damaged but the information could be retrieved with care, the record will go to Judd.
An average of 200 to 250 records arrive in her office every week. Judd and another staff member, Jeannette Crowder, and three … [ Read all ]

Burnt in memory: Looking back at the 1973 St. Louis fire
This blog post is condensed from the article "Burnt in Memory," by Marta G. O'Neill and William Seibert, from the Spring 2013 issue of Prologue.
By the time it was daylight on July 12, 1973, at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis, one thing was painfully clear: the loss of records to fire and water was staggering.
The fire had swept through the top floor of the building just after midnight. At its peak, 42 fire districts were fighting it. The fire burned uncontrolled for more than 22 hours.About 73 to 80 percent of the approximately 22 million individual Official Military Personnel Files (OMPFs) stored in the building were destroyed. The records lost were those of former members of the Army, the Army Air Force, and the Air Force who served between 1912 and 1963.
Up on the sixth floor, reinforced concrete columns had sheared off, causing the roof to collapse. Metal shelving and metal filing cabinets were bent and twisted by the fire's heat. Bricks of ash remained where cubic foot boxes of records once sat. Aisles between shelving rows were filled with debris up to three feet deep, and several … [ Read all ]

It's why I do what I do
Today's blog post in honor of Memorial Day comes from Michael Pierce, preservation technician at the National Archives at Saint Louis.
It's called "the Forgotten War." But like any conflict, the Korean War is always remembered by the men and women who fought in it, and by their families.
The Preservation Lab at St. Louis occasionally get requests from JPAC (the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command) for information from records of men who went missing in Korea and other places. Our lab deals primarily with records that were damaged in the 1973 fire at our old facility in St. Louis. Millions of Official Military Personnel Files from the Army and Air Force were destroyed, or heavily damaged, by fire, smoke, and water.
Sometimes, the requested record is part of that registry. We clean the record, make copies of the necessary documents, and send them on. Normally, we don't hear anything about the results of our efforts.
I'm always telling my fellow technicians that we're the "unsung heroes" of the National Archives at Saint Louis. Everyone else gets the accolades and the thank-you letters, while we work in the background, … [ Read all ]

Archives Spotlight: National Personnel Records Center
If you have served in the military or worked for the Federal Government, your personnel file is held at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis, Missouri. More than 34 million files are held in this facility, filling 2.3 million cubic feet of records on 385,000 shelves. There are 6.2 billion feet of paper in the military records alone.
About 600 full-time staff work in St. Louis. In 2011, the NPRC received 1,093,522 written requests for records, about 3,000 requests per day. They have received about 889,283 so far in 2012.
This part of the National Archives provides vital services to veterans. Former servicemen and women can use the documentation in their files to receive veterans benefits (form DD-214), help with replacement medals, or receive a military burial.
Not all the records in the NPRC are held in the permanent archives. Records with a discharge date of 1950 or earlier are archival records and are open to the public. But records from 1951 are non-archival, so they are restricted for privacy. Usually only the veteran or the next-of-kin can access these files.
For historians, each pre-1950 archival records is a possible treasure chest. The Official Military Personnel Files (OMPFs) … [ Read all ]

I was thinking of getting some wool dryer balls.
How many loads do they last and how many do you use per load?
Also, what do you find are their benefits? Reduce static? Cut drying time? Both? Any other?
Thanks for the input!!

Wife to Jason, Mother to Zev (7/21/2003) * Noah (2/3/2006) * and Eitan (4/25/2010)
I have some homemade ones that I've been using for about two months now. I use them with all our laundry, so pretty much a load every other day. The biggest thing that I have noticed is that they keep our clothes soft without having to use dryer sheets. Towels are a little fluffier. I haven't noticed a huge change in static though. Mine have pilled a little, but seem to work just as good now as they did in the beginning.
Me (32) DH (34) DD 7/6/05 DS 7/28/10
I bought some a few weeks back and can't say I've noticed much of a difference in the time it takes to dry my laundry. I'm using 6 but maybe it's not enough for my large capacity dryer? I kind of feel like I got suckered though. They are certainly not going to pay for themselves in energy savings costs anytime soon.
DD May 2005; DS May 2007; DS May 2010
interesting...anyone else have opinions about these?
Kendall Mae: 12-09-10
I have 6 that I've been using for several months now. They should last indefinitely. They make a *very* big difference in our drying time. (Even my husband noticed!) They also make our clothes softer. They do not do a whole lot for reducting static, but we don't have a big static problem anyways.
Love them and highly recommend them! :)

About the static - that will happen if you let the clothes dry too long after they've already dried. if you can time the dryer so it stops just when stuff is dry there shouldn't be any static. they start to build up a charge after they are already dry.
You can also toss a ball of aluminum foil into your dryer which will keep a charge from building (trick I learned from grandma).

Remember Me
Four guys who have been around. The Woodsmen, The Dry Spells, Between Floors. All part of the pedigree. Fenders, Gibsons, Marshalls and Martins, Zildjians, Radio Kings and hickory sticks. Six packs and smokes. All buzz, burn, whine, thump and pop. Songs about living, working, drinking and loving. Right or wrong, good or bad, better fast than sorry. Sometimes sounds like Creedence or Hank. Sometimes...

Incumbents Cheryl Maggio and Audrey Johnson have early leads along with Mike Eickman in the race for Winnebago County Forest Preserve District commissioner.
Maggio has about 45 percent of the vote to lead Lee Johnson (34 percent) and Bev Moore (21 percent) in the race for a two-year term with more than half of precincts in.
Audrey Johnson and Mike Eickman are leading a five-way race for two six-year terms on the board. Audrey Johnson has about 25 percent of the vote to 23 percent for Eickman. Jeff Tilly is in third with about 18.5 percent of the vote.
This is the second time voters have selected commissioners for the board, which was formerly managed by the County Board. Voters had to decide between 35 candidates for seven spots during the first election in November 2010.
