Living/working in said area and honest to God this is literally the first time I have ever felt culture shock. I've traveled fairly decently in college to various places and countries and this setting completely floors me. Any of you ever had like real real culture shock? I don't like this feeling. :/

Gayle Williams
Gayle Williams left her Fort Washington, Md., home early to get on the Metro and head to the "Jobs and Justice Rally." Williams had not planned to go to the march when it was originally scheduled in August, but said she was motivated by "issues in the job system" to join the rally and march to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on the National Mall. The message she hopes Congress, business and the Obama administration take away from the rally is that it's "all about the people, not the politics."

Shippers under siege
April 05, 2011
Teamsters turned out on Monday, April 4th, for rallies commemorating the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The anniversary was also used to recognize the efforts Dr. King made for organized labor and civil liberty.
This is all well and good, if it hadn't severely disrupted cargo operations at the Port of Oakland and other ocean cargo gateways nationwide.
As we reported here yesterday, a labor action at Oakland supported by both the Teamsters and International Longshore and Warehouse Union workers had shippers scrambling for distribution alternatives.
These are the same two unions, one must remember, which lobby against independent owner-operators of drayage trucks.
While courting a wide array of "green" constituencies, these tribes hope to end free-market trucking operations at ports nationwide, while creating even higher barriers of entry to industrious entrepreneurs.
At the same time, Boston Teamsters from Local 25 joined other unions to rally in front of the state Republican Party headquarters to "stand in solidarity with workers in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, New Hampshire and other states fighting corporate politicians seeking to destroy collective bargaining."
In Atlanta, Teamsters gathered for a "We Are One" rally at the King Center. In New York City, Local 804 Teamsters rallied in front of the UPS terminal in Manhattan to support the "Stop the War on Workers" efforts. Teamsters turned out in force in Oklahoma City.
Teamsters Local 76 members showed up at Harrisburg, and other Teamsters rallied in Philadelphia. There were rallies all over Ohio, including a solidarity rally at Local 957 in Dayton and at the Greater Abyssinian Baptist Church in Cleveland, co-sponsored by Local 507.
Teamster members of Local 364 marched from the South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center in Indiana to a "Respect Our Rights" rally later that day. Teamsters from Local 630 in Los Angeles were at an IBEW Solidarity rally last night. That was just one of 20 solidarity rallies held in California.
On the East Coast, Longshoremen (ILA) on the ports of Charleston, Savannah, Ft. Lauderdale, Mobile, Philadelphia, and Bayonne flew the Wisconsin flag.
College students and professors are hosting more than 175 teach-ins across the country.
In Syracuse, New York, people stood at 40 intersections to talk to people in their cars the war on workers. In Raleigh, North Carolina, a 15-minute silent protest was held across from the Statehouse.
As this nation struggles back from the Great Recession, one must wonder what really is behind the Big Labor's agenda. It certainly can't be job creation. Nor can it be in strengthening our position as a global trade power.

I assume you are confident to draw the tag? I spent a day "scouting" the region from the road this past fall. Lots of campers bow hunting prior to rifle opener and campers waiting for rifle to open. All of the camps where on the top of the BH, whatever road seperates R/Y is where most folk were. I seen a lot of doe deer, but no bucks. Granted I didnt leave the road much at all. I decided a ATV is a must, because most of the forest service roads are pretty tough and if you want to get into some deer and away from the hunters you will need to hike in pretty far. I decided not to waist points on this unit yet, I do not know enough about it and it seemed the deer numbers were pretty low.
On a side note...next to the BH lake I seen the biggest Antelope on foot I have ever seen...he had to be 90", but I think that area was archery only (which is still deer region R).

The AMA is warning motorcyclists and all-terrain vehicle riders who may be traveling in Wisconsin to look twice when they fill up their machines' fuel tanks to ensure they aren't accidently filling up with E15 fuel that could potentially damage their engines and fuel systems.
The SmartStation at 1290 Business Highway 151 in Platteville, Wis., is the latest station to offer E15 fuel. SmartStation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Badger State Ethanol.
E15 is a new fuel blend of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline (by volume) that the EPA has approved for use in 2001-and-newer passenger vehicles. The blend isn't approved for use in motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, boats, lawn mowers and other engines, and may even damage them and void warranties.
On Wednesday, June 19, the AMA will host the Fuel for Thought lobbying day in Washington, D.C., to let lawmakers know that independent E15 testing is needed to ensure that motorcycle and ATV engines won't be harmed. Anyone concerned about the possible effects of E15 is encouraged to attend.
The program will begin with a motorcycle ride, followed by a rally and will culminate in a lobbying effort with participants visiting their congressional delegations' offices. All participants will receive a gift bag and a fuel gift card. AMA members will also receive a limited-edition patch (while supplies last).
Registration: Registration for the AMA Fuel for Thought lobbying day is critical for planning purposes. A limited amount of reserved motorcycle parking will be available onsite (first-come, first-serve). If you plan on attending the event, register online by going to http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/AMA/Rights/AMAFuelforThought.aspx and clicking on "Register."
DATE: Wednesday, June 19, from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
LOCATION: Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C., Exact location on Capitol Hill is to be determined. Updates will be sent to registered participants.

Breakfast benefits a busy day for lots of reasons. But the biggest benefit isn't just from any breakfast, but from a nutrient rich breakfast.
Study after study, from as far back as the 1950s have consistently shown that children who eat a well-balanced, complete breakfast perform better academically than children who regularly skip breakfast.
But it isn't just eating breakfast that matters. What matters as much is the nutrition in that breakfast. Children who eat healthy breakfasts do better nutritionally than kids who skip breakfast. That's because it's practically impossible to make up for the missed nutrients at other meals.
Here are four simple ingredient guidelines for putting together the best breakfast:
Sesame Street Frozen French Toast Sticks are excellent nutritionally because they are full of healthy, complex carbohydrates, are a good source of protein, and one serving supplies plenty of the critical nutrients- iron, calcium, zinc, and several B vitamins.
Sesame Street Frozen French Toast Sticks are wonderful for toddlers who are learning to self feed, since they can be picked up and eaten as finger food. Likewise, they make a terrific, easy to fix after school snack and become even more nutritious when you dip them in some Earth's Best pureed fruit like Bananas Peaches and Raspberries.

College basketball player rankings: Sporting News' top 10 shooting guardsncaab June 14, 2013 3:53pm EDT June 11, 2013 2:06pm EDT Sporting News continues its position-by-position player rankings with shooting guards. Half of our top 10 is filled with seniors, but Michigan State's Gary Harris is ranked higher than all of them. Does that make him our No. 1?
Now that we've mastered the habit of not placing a "w" in Ryan Boatright's last name, it's downright painful not to find a place for him on the list of top college basketball shooting guards for the 2013-14 season.
It hurt more than leaving off UCLA's Jordan Adams, Iowa's Devyn Marble and even Kentucky freshman Aaron Harrison, who might be UK's most important player because of the need for someone to make shots but certainly won't be the star with Julius Randle up front and Aaron's twin brother Andrew playing the point.
Boatright is a terrific college player. He's part of a dynamic Connecticut backcourt that is the greatest reason the Huskies are part of Sporting News' preseason top 25. But it's clear by now that Shabazz Napier is the leader of that backcourt, and it's also clear the 10 players we ranked instead of Boatright are all outstanding.
And there's no way to have a top-10 list with 11 players.
2 1. Gary Harris, sophomore, Michigan State
He is the complete package as a college shooting guard. The 6-4 size, the cool demeanor, the sweet-as-you-please perimeter jump shot. If Harris is to belong at the top of this list, however, he will need to begin playing more frequently like a top-of-the-line player. Some television analysts would say he needs to be "more selfish," but that's a total misnomer. His primary job as a shooting guard is to score points. Often he did, sometimes he didn't. It's not "selfish" to do your job. It's your job.
3 Russ Smith, senior, Louisville
There is no one in college basketball quite like Russ Smith. It's quite possible there's never been anyone like him: from two-star recruit to All-American, from "Russdiculous" mental errors to NCAA Tournament heroism. Though he is not a great shooter, he is a great shooting guard. Though he is a dynamic playmaker, he is not a true point guard. Though he is not a sturdy defensive presence, he is an excellent, disruptive defender. Smith truly is unique.
4 Rasheed Sulaimon, sophmore, Duke
He will not be the Blue Devils' most talented player, but with one year as a significant option in their offense he'll present the best combination of talent, experience and institutional knowledge. At Duke, that generally is a package that adds up to stardom. With Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood up front and the estimable Quinn Cook as his backcourt partner, Sulaimon will be part of an offense that will benefit greatly from the collective ability to attack the lane, and he'll get lots of open shots as a result.
5 Tyler Haws, junior, BYU
If you want to bet on someone to lead Division I in scoring next winter, you could do worse than to bet on Haws, a shot-maker of the highest order. Haws topped the 20-point mark in 25 games, including a season best of 42 against Virginia Tech in which he nailed six 3-pointers. Haws is excellent on catch-and-shoots from long range but also converts from mid-range and hits nearly 90 percent from the line.
6 Spencer Dinwiddie, junior, Colorado
There are times it is hard to tell what position Dinwiddie plays for CU, because there are so few things he cannot master on the court. He passes (3.0 assists), shoots (89 3-pointers in two seasons) and rebounds (3.2 per game). He spends an absurd amount of time at the foul line because of his ability to drive the ball. Dinwiddie could, if he can recover his long-distance accuracy, become the most feared scorer in the Pac-12 and a prime pick in a future NBA draft.
7 Jordan McRae, senior, Tennessee
There was no more improved player in college basketball last season, and that's not just year-over-year (from 8.6 ppg as a sophomore to 15.7). He also put on an impressive late surge that included a five-game stretch in which he averaged 28 points and the Vols went 4-1. He has terrific length and athleticism and is developing as a long-range shooter.
8 Marshall Henderson, senior, Ole Miss
If not for his pledge to become a better leader, we might not have featured Henderson this high. "I have to hold myself to a higher standard," he promised. Whether he can hold true to this will be one of the most compelling aspects of the coming season. But even with all the nonsense last year he still topped 20 points per game and carried the Rebels to the SEC Tournament title. If he does hold true to that pledge, there's a good chance he'll merit a higher ranking on this list.
9 Sean Kilpatrick, senior, Cincinnati
The issue with Kilpatrick is that for a player with a reputation as a shooter, he needs to make more shots. He dropped to 30.7 percent on 3s, 39.8 percent from the field. Some of the decline was the function of a team that lacked other scoring options, placing greater pressure on Kilpatrick. With a younger perimeter and the introduction of gifted freshman Jermaine Lawrence, Kilpatrick might have the opportunity to accelerate as a senior.
10 Joe Harris, senior, Virginia
In a program known for its defense-first approach, Harris blossomed last season into a scoring star. He took nearly 100 shots more than any other UVa player and hit 43 percent of his 3-point attempts, 47 percent of his field goals a season best 36 points in a home victory over Duke.
11 Semaj Christon, sophomore, Xavier
Christon is a hybrid guard who essentially plays both backcourt positions at once for the Musketeers, depending on what the situation demands. But as long as Dee Davis is his partner, Christon's role is to play more off the ball and to generate scoring opportunities. Christon is viewed by many as a pro prospect at the point, and that'll be there for him if he can greatly improve his 3-point shooting touch.

CLEVELAND -- Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald announced Wednesday that he will run for governor in 2014.
In a morning conference call, Republican mayors from across Cuyahoga County today shared their disappointment and disapproval of Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald's decision to run for governor.
Here are some of their comments from the call:
Mayor Dennis Clough (Westlake): "Our state now has momentum and we need Governor Kasich to finish the job he started. Ed FitzGerald left before finishing his job in Lakewood, and now he wants to leave his job in Cuyahoga County before finishing it. We really can't have that. We need a man who is committed to do the job the people hired him to do, not someone looking for the next ladder to climb. We need to keep Governor John Kasich. He's been good for Ohio and is good for the future of Ohio."
Mayor Debbie Sutherland (Bay Village): "I am extremely disappointed that Ed FitzGerald is going to run for governor. I feel he is already abandoning the voters of Cuyahoga County to run for another office. After two years on the job, he's already jumping ship. This isn't exhibition of strong leadership; it is just blind political ambition. We all deserve better than that."
Mayor Jerry Hruby (Brecksville): "As a mayor and the Chairman of the Ohio Turnpike Commission, I've been disappointed in the leadership not given by the county executive. The county executive came out in opposition long before the Turnpike study was even completed - passing judgment without any basis for his position. As a matter of fact, it was embarrassing how he spoke out against the governor's Turnpike plan the way he did around the state, knowing that the study was ongoing, and now that it has been announced and adopted by the state legislature he continues his opposition without any solutions to the problems of the state's crumbling infrastructure. He maintains his opposition without providing any alternatives to something that will benefit the city of Cleveland and our entire county. No solutions indicates a lack of leadership on the part of the county executive."
Mayor Tom Perciak (Strongsville): "Ed seems to be a guy always looking for a new opportunity and a better way to serve Ed. In this day and age when fiscal management is the key to any successfully run organization, how can you say a track record of mayor for a couple years and a track record of county executive for three years qualifies you to become governor of the state of Ohio? An $8 billion deficit is what Governor Kasich faced when he took office. FitzGerald does not have the experience to handle something like that. If we elect Ed FitzGerald as governor, we will go back to the tax and spend ways embraced by former Governor Ted Strickland, and Ohio can't afford that."
Mayor Pam Bobst (Rocky River): "We need real leadership with real solutions for the real problems that are impacting our residents. As I look at our county, we deserve better than to be treated as a political stepping stone."

FAM and its older brother, Natural Family Planning (NFP), have been studied in scientific research for decades. Most recently the effectiveness of FAM was evaluated in a study which lasted 20 years and involved 900 women. When practiced correctly (aka – not breaking the rules), FAM used as contraception was found to be 99.4% effective – just as effective as the birth control pill.

Bulletin Issues
Current Issue
Past issues of the Bulletin are available here, or through the ASIS&T Digital Library.
Bulletin, February/March 2013
Inside ASIS&T
ASIS&T Changes Its Name, Enhances Its Global Mission
With nearly 90% of all ballots cast voting in favor of a name change, the American Society for Information Science and Technology will soon become the Association for Information Science and Technology.
While the ASIS&T acronym stays the same, the name change recognizes the growing influence of ASIS&T in the international arena. The opportunities and challenges with respect to the science and technology of information are increasingly international in focus and scope. ASIS&T supports members around the globe in addressing these opportunities and challenges.
When 2012 ASIS&T president Diane H. Sonnenwald, in collaboration with 2012 immediate past president Linda C. Smith and president-elect Andrew Dillon, called for a membership vote on the name change issue, she said, The word American in our name often makes it difficult for individuals outside the United States to receive recognition for belonging to and participating in ASIS&T. It also fails to recognize the important contributions members outside the United States make to our association and to our discipline.
In addition, Sonnenwald noted that increasing international participation in ASIS&T will provide additional opportunities for all members to learn from and share expertise and knowledge with colleagues who have different expertise and knowledge.
Currently 18% of ASIS&T members reside outside the United States in 52 different countries. At the recent 75th Anniversary ASIS&T Annual Meeting, attendees came from 25 countries, with 22% coming from countries other than the United States. In addition, ASIS&T runs successful international conferences, notably the annual European Information Architecture Summit, and will hold its 2013 Annual Meeting in Montreal, Canada.
The new name reflects the commitment of our members to international cooperation and global efforts to increase the influence of information science in education, research and applications to ensure the best access, management and use of information in an increasingly interconnected world.
2012 Annual Meeting Coverage Celebrating Our 75th Anniversary
In the December/January issue of the Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, we provided a brief news report of our 75th Anniversary Annual Meeting and the impact hurricane Sandy had on attendance and activities. But the timing of both the meeting and this publications deadlines kept us from providing full photographic and text coverage of the fun, the substantive, the social and the ridiculous at the successful anniversary confab of ASIS&T.
So join us throughout this issue of the Bulletin for a look at some of the work and fun that members and guests enjoyed in Baltimore at the 2012 ASIS&T Annual Meeting. Following a photo montage from the meeting, youll find coverage of the ASIS&T Annual Awards presented at the conference and news about the winners of the ASIS&T Student Design Competition. Also in this issue, other Annual Meeting coverage includes reports from many of the pre-conference workshops and seminars; the plenary session headlined by Edward Chang; the Award of Merit acceptance speech delivered by former ASIS&T president Michael Buckland; and an article by our 2012 Research Award recipient Kalervo Järvelin.
2012 ASIS&T Award Winners
One of the highlights of each years ASIS&T Annual Meeting is the presentation of the prestigious ASIS&T Annual Awards. This years winners are featured in this section. Because of travel difficulties associated with hurricane Sandy, many winners were unable to attend the meeting, but their awards were noted nonetheless.
Award of Merit
Michael K. Buckland, professor emeritus in the School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley, is the 2012 recipient of the ASIS&T Award of Merit, the highest honor presented by ASIS&T. The award goes to an individual who has made a noteworthy contribution to the field of information science, including the expression of new ideas, the creation of new devices, the development of better techniques and outstanding service to the profession.
Professor Buckland is internationally recognized for his many publications encompassing topics in library services, history of information science, information retrieval, classification, metadata and concepts and theories in information science. Among his most notable articles are Information as Thing and What Is a Document? both published in the
Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology. Professor Buckland has been an active member and leader of the American Society for Information Science and Technology since 1975, serving as president in 1998 and winner of the Watson Davis Award in 2005. The Award of Merit recognizes his exemplary career as information scientist, educator, mentor, dean and leader of professional societies. His work has had lasting influence due to its historical and conceptual richness, its acknowledgement of real needs and real problems and its willingness to reconcile tradition with new thought and practice. His project-based research seeks to bring information to people in new, qualitatively rich ways, by rethinking traditional forms and practices through new digital tools. In this 75th anniversary year, as ASIS&T reflects on its history and looks to the future, it is especially fitting that we recognize Michael K. Buckland with the Award of Merit.
Watson Davis Award
ASIS&Ts Watson Davis Award recognizes the contributions of someone who has shown continuous dedicated service to ASIS&T. In 2012, the person who most effectively lives up to that ideal is KT Vaughan, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. KT is an outstanding information science professional who has provided exceptional service to the ASIS&T organization. She has done an incredible job of demonstrating her impressive commitment to the profession of information science. KT brings a high level of dedication and quality not only to her career position that includes sharing her wealth of knowledge with students, faculty and colleagues, but also to the overall profession by working and leading multiple groups and committees from SIG/STI to the ASIS&T Constitution and Bylaws and Leadership Development Committees. She has previously served on the ASIS&T Board of Directors as SIG Cabinet Director. KT's generosity in sharing her leadership talents for the good of ASIS&T, while demonstrating her continuous dedication as a driven member and leader makes her highly deserving of this award.
2012 ASIS&T Research Award
Kalervo Järvelin, Tampere University, Finland, is the recipient of the 2012 ASIS&T Research Award. During the last decade his rich research has contributed to bridging naturalistic information-seeking behavior and classic information retrieval theory and experiment. His contributions to IR evaluation alone would warrant this award. His theoretical foundation and strive for methodological rigor are always present in his publications and presentations. He integrates cognitive and other theoretical approaches and advanced mathematical models in his often longitudinal and laborious information studies. In addition, his pioneering work on task complexity, his research work on how to bridge the gap between user needs and information systems in context as well as his contribution in natural language IR and cross-lingual IR are also of long-standing value to the LIS community.
Kalervo Järvelin is an exceptional scholar: he has a rare talent to solve problems by joining together apparently incompatible ideas. He is very creative and the most inspirational supervisor. He has formed several long-term influential research teams that have pushed the boundaries of traditional IR research and produced innovative and well-tested methodological breakthroughs, e.g., the generalized measures for non-binary (scaled) relevance assessments. He is an internationally recognized scholar and his work has had a huge impact as evidenced by his 1600 citations in Scopus and 1200 citations in Web of Science.
Kalervo Järvelin is one of those few visionary scientists who can not only reflect upon their own ground-breaking work, but also pin it down experimentally using state-of-the-art computational and advanced mathematical models. This has continuously placed him at the forefront of international information science research. Furthermore, his scientific integrity combined with his energetic and wonderful attitude make him a great role model to many younger researchers and a living inspiration to all.
Thomson Reuters Outstanding Information Science Teacher
The 2012 Thomson Reuters Outstanding Information Science Teacher Award goes to Dietmar Wolfram, who has been teaching at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Information Studies for 22 years. Over the course of his career he has held a variety of positions including professor, acting associate dean, coordinator of the BS program, director of PhD studies and interim dean.
Dr. Wolfram is responsible for many initiatives aimed toward the advancement of information science in higher education. He was instrumental in developing the bachelors degree program in information science and technology, was a pioneer in the schools online MLIS program and most recently was awarded $815,000 in IMLS funding to support the schools doctoral program in information studies a program he worked for years to establish and which began admitting students in 2008.
As an instructor, he has taught at all three levels of study. He teaches courses in library and information science research methods, foundations and information retrieval where his course evaluations are consistently rated as second to none and reflect an extraordinary ability to inspire and foster true love for the field. He has published widely with his students in national and international journals in the areas of informetrics and information retrieval and has presented his research on six continents.
He is a committed and active member of several information science organizations at varying levels. In ASIS&T, he has held numerous board, chapter and SIG positions since 1988.
Professor Wolfram stands as a role model for students and staff alike. His multiple decades worth of service and experience combined with his vast knowledge of the field, personal sacrifice and utmost integrity have resulted in significant benefits to his peers, his school, his associations and especially his students to whom he exemplifies exactly what constitutes an outstanding information science teacher.
Best JASIST Paper
The 2012 Best JASIST Paper Award goes to Sukomal Pal, Mandar Mitra and Jaap Kamps for their article, Evaluation Effort, Reliability and Reusability in XML Retrieval, JASIST 62(2): 375-394 (2011). The awards jury calls this a very satisfying paper, which is very readable, logically presented, does an excellent job of situating itself with respect to prior work and provides a thorough and comprehensive analysis. A solid IR piece, it is a large-scale investigation that contributes to an understanding of how XML retrieval differs from standard ad hoc evaluation and whether it is better to spend resources judging a few queries deeply or many queries using shallow pools. It also focuses the communitys attention on methods to evaluation passage-retrieval, which is an important extension of the document-centric model that has been the primary target of research in IR and information science for so long. Committee members commented favorably on the papers utility: it has clear implications for IR evaluation and for the operation of INEX-type evaluations, giving it the potential for long term impact.
Pratt Severn Best Student Research Paper Award
The 2012 Pratt Severn Best Student Research Paper goes to April Lynne Earle, St Johns University, for her paper entitled, Design of an Application Profile for the St. John's University Oral History Collection.
Completed as a semester project for a metadata course at St. Johns University, the paper describes the creation of an application profile that uses both MARC and Dublin Core. As her nominator stated in his submission papers, the project represents a significant contribution towards getting the project catalogued and ultimately accessible online. Jurors cited the paper for its original topic, demonstration of superior technical competence in information science and provision of interesting implications for practice.

James Cretsos Leadership Award
Naresh Agarwal, assistant professor in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Simmons College, is the recipient of the 2012 James Cretsos Leadership Award, honoring a new ASIS&T member who has demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities in professional ASIS&T activities. Naresh joined ASIS&T as a student member in 2008 and, as a result of an interview at his first ASIS&T Annual Meeting that year, landed the job he currently holds. Naresh also launched his ASIS&T career during that conference when he took the initiative to ask various members how he could get involved. By the next year, Naresh was the vice chair of SIG/SI, chair-elect/vice chair of SIG/HLTH, an alternative representative to the Chapter Assembly and a co-faculty advisor to a student chapter. His pattern of activity has continued throughout the years as he has added positions in other SIGs, as well as the Chapter Assembly and other ASIS&T units. Along the way, Naresh participated in a variety of ASIS&T panels and paper/poster presentations, while contributing to ASIS&T publications as author and reviewer.
Naresh works hard to promote ASIS&T and its special interest groups and student chapters. One of his goals is to encourage new members, which he accomplishes through such diverse activities as hosting the traditional secret student party at the Annual Meeting, promoting ASIS&T membership among his students and facilitating SIG membership drives.
Naresh envisions ASIS&T as a dynamic, thriving Society, and he lends his leadership skills to the realization of that vision. Unquestionably, Naresh exemplifies the ASIS&T future leader honored by the James M. Cretsos Leadership Award.
Naresh Agarwal shares with his young daughter the excitement of being named the James Cretsos Leadership Award recipient.
Best Information Science Book Award
The 2012 Best Information Science Book Award goes to Ricardo Baeza-Yates and Berthier Ribeiro-Neto for their book, Modern Information Retrieval, Second edition. The book received the highest overall ranking among the 13 books considered for the award.
The jury members offered numerous supportive comments about the book. One juror noted that this book is [o]bviously of high importance and relevance to information science. It is the definitive text on information retrieval, much improved over the earlier edition. Another juror noted this is [a] textbook by some of the most expert authors in the field . . . cohesive and well-written . . . a classic, rewritten and restructured. Finally, one notation was that this book . . . expands what was already a good work . . . an important resource both for current and new members of our profession. . . .[I]t lives up to the interdisciplinary nature of IR and LIS.
Thomson Reuters Doctoral Dissertation Proposal Scholarship
The 2012 Thomas Reuters Doctoral Dissertation Proposal Scholarship goes to Lori McCay-Peet for her proposal entitled At the Intersection: Investigating the Qualities of the Serendipitous Digital Environment and the Serendipity-prone Person. McCay-Peet proposes an ambitious, multiphase project that will examine the factors involved in, and develop a holistic model of, the process of serendipity within the digital environment. Further, the study proposes to identify the qualities of serendipitous-prone individuals and the inter-relationships among the qualities of the serendipity-prone person, the content of the system and the facets of the digital environment. McCay-Peet's study will add to traditional methods previously used to study serendipity by proposing a novel approach that of measuring the link between working memory capacity of individuals as an indicator of serendipitous facilitation. Lori's faculty advisor notes, Lori has developed a solid research idea, a conceptual model to support it and a preliminary pathway to follow. . . . She has a natural ability to identify a problem, voraciously consume the background research and propose a solution or direction. To every project, she has brought a logical and analytical approach with novel and innovative ideas. The award jurors noted that the proposal is "well-written" and the "methods chosen were sound, the work proposed was "original and creative" and the results have the potential to make important theoretical and practical contributions to information science and related disciplines.

ProQuest Doctoral Dissertation Award
The 2012 ProQuest Doctoral Dissertation Award is presented to Jaime Snyder, Syracuse University, for the dissertation entitled, Image-Enabled Discourse: Investigating the Creation of Visual Information as Communicative Practice. Jaime was previously honored in 2010 with the Doctoral Dissertation Proposal Scholarship for this topic. This dissertation positions the creation of images during small group interactions as a specific type of information-driven communicative behavior, separate from doodling or artistic practice. This creative and thoughtful study raises many interesting questions that have not previously been studied within library and information science and brings in research from such fields as linguistics, psychology, sociology and communications theory. The study will likely lead to interdisciplinary research that combines visual communication and interaction studies. The exploratory study achieved the objectives set out in the research and added novel findings in the area of image creation in relation to information behaviors. The methodology and theoretical framework are sound and the literature review is excellent.

Chapter Awards
Winners of several 2012 ASIS&T chapter awards were not yet announced by press time for this printed program. They will be presented at the 2012 ASIS&T Annual Meeting.
The European Chapter of ASIS&T is the worthy recipient of the 2012 ASIS&T Chapter-of-the-Year Award. It can be difficult to operate in such a distributed geographic area, but this chapter continues to excel at its activities while engaging members throughout the area. Chapter members are especially to be commended for their work with European conferences, their excellent collaboration with sister societies and their role in facilitating the development of new chapters in other areas with distributed membership. In addition to these activities, the chapter conducted an oral history project, organized a doctoral forum and re-energized its communication channels using social media tools. Perhaps most notable, however, was the detailed action plan submitted with the chapters annual report for the ongoing strength and development of ASIS&T in Europe. In all things, this chapter has demonstrated extraordinary organization, commitment and spirit.

Student Chapter-of-the-Year
The 2012 Student Chapter-of-the-Year Award goes to the San Jose State University (SJSU) Student Chapter, a group that started from scratch and achieved incredible results in less than a year. The Chapter is a virtual chapter connected to a fully online program at SJSU, yet it has excelled as an active and communicative chapter for its members offering a great variety of activities, all of which were well promoted. Among 14 online events in the past year are a Second Life Mixer and academic or professional experience sharing talks on YouTube. The Chapter utilizes many virtual communication tools and creative approaches, including email, web conferencing and social media, as part of its outreach and membership activities. The SJSU Student Chapter is a most worthy recipient of the 2012 Student Chapter-of-the-Year Award.
Naresh Agarwal presents Student Chapter-of-the-Year honors to Melissa Hunt-Glickman and her colleagues at San Jose State University.
SIG Awards
The ASIS&T 2012 SIG-of-the-Year Award is presented jointly to SIG/Education for Information Science (SIG/ED) and SIG/Metrics (SIG/MET).
SIG/ED is recognized for its excellence in organizational infrastructure and use of social media to facilitate planning and development; its outreach to its members through a re-designed website and new quarterly newsletter; outreach to the information science community through a successful series of webinars; for proposing and hosting an online meeting of student chapter officers and advisers; and for instituting a new graduate student travel award. In addition to its many activities throughout the year SIG/ED was successful in having two panels and a workshop accepted for the 2012 ASIS&T Annual Meeting and has already conducted elections to select its leadership for 2012-2013.
SIG/MET is recognized for its transformation into an active and productive traditional SIG from a virtual SIG only two years ago. In the past year it has been successful in growing its membership, expanding its outreach through a wide variety of electronic and social media; offered a successful and well-attended webinar on information visualization from the perspective of researchers interested in incorporating visualizations into a research project within the fields of bibliometrics, citation analysis, scientometrics, informetrics and webometrics; was the a co-sponsor of Doctoral Forum 2012 Quantitative Research in Information Science held at the University of Wolverhampton, UK; held a successful student paper contest for original research, with the prize winners presenting at a workshop at the ASIS&T 2012 Annual Meeting; had two panels accepted for inclusion at the ASIS&T 2012 Annual Meeting; sponsored a panel at the iConference; and, in honor of the 75th anniversary of ASIS&Ts founding, produced a special section on metrics for the August/September 2012 issue of the Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology.
For these excellent reasons both SIG/ED and SIG/MET are recognized as ASIS&T SIGs-of-the-Year.
SIG Member-of-the-Year
Karen Miller of SIG/Education for Information Science (SIG/ED) is the worthy recipient of the 2012 SIG Member-of-the-Year Award. Karen joined ASIS&T and SIG/ED at the 2011 Annual Meeting and immediately assumed an active role. Her nomination letter states She was instrumental in transforming SIG/ED into the vibrant, active organization it has become over the past year. This transformation simply would not have happened without Karens energy, dedication and hard work as the SIGs program coordinator. Karen exhibited leadership in developing a successful series of webinars for SIG/ED, including a virtual meeting for student chapter leaders and advisers. She was also instrumental in instituting the student travel award being offered by SIG/ED and in shepherding SIG/EDs contributions to the Annual Meeting in Baltimore. Quoting again from the nomination letter, Karen is a shining example of willingness to do things for the good of the order rather than for personal credit. And thus, we are pleased to honor Karen Miller as the 2012 ASIS&T SIG Member-of-the-Year.
SIG Publication-of-the-Year
The 2012 SIG Publication-of-the-Year Award is awarded jointly to SIG/Arts and Humanities (SIG/AH) and SIG/Visualization, Images and Sound (SIG/VIS) for their collaboration in co-editing the April/May 2012 special issue of the Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology. The issue, dedicated to current developments in the fields of digital humanities and information visualization, highlighted innovative areas of research and practice not previously covered in such breadth, and its availability was broadly tweeted and publicized. In addition to bringing research issues to the attention of the Bulletin readership, the publication also communicated the value of participating in SIG/AH and SIG/VIS and is an outstanding exemplar of how SIGs can collaborate to produce quality work that embraces multiple approaches.

Don R. Swanson
Don R. Swanson, three-time dean at the University of Chicago Graduate Library School (GLS) and professor emeritus n the humanities division, died in November of 2012 at the age of 88. Don won the ASIS&T Award of Merit in 2000 for his trailblazing work in the relationship between natural and computer language and his belief that electronic databases held the keys to medical knowledge.
Among many groundbreaking discoveries, Don used his theory of undiscovered public knowledge to identify key relationships between dietary fish oil and Raynaud's disease and between magnesium deficiency and common migraine headaches. With these findings inspiring his effort, Don and Neil Smallheiser developed Arrowsmith, software that assists in identifying connections between two sets of clinical research; this model has been adapted to study the correlations of genes with diseases and find possible new uses for medications.
Swanson began his career in physics with degrees from California Institute of Technology, Rice University and the University of California at Berkeley. After working for a while as a computer systems analyst and research scientist, Swanson joined the University of Chicago faculty as dean of the now-closed Graduate Library School. His background as a physical scientist led his GLS focus on computer-aided information retrieval which was a new area of study at the time.
Swanson is survived by his wife Patricia, son Richard and daughter Judith. Another son, Douglas, predeceased him.
Call for Participation
Beyond the Cloud: Rethinking Information Boundaries
76th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Information Science and Technology
November 1-6, 2013
Centre Sheraton, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
The continuing development of computing and mobile technology and the ongoing evolution of the web environment provide new ways for accessing, acquiring, retrieving and storing information which constantly defy traditional boundaries. With the growth of digital content, information objects are blurred, and they challenge information organization. As more people interact and exchange knowledge and information on the web and in the cloud, information environments are transformed and human interactions with information are shifting. As information use increases and becomes more complex, the need for meaningful integration and analysis is growing.
The ASIS&T Annual Meeting is the main venue for disseminating research on advances in information science, information technology and related topics. The theme of the 2013 gathering offers an opportunity to reflect on all the changes that impact on human information interaction and their implications for information science and technology. Submissions are solicited for, but not limited to, the five tracks below.
Track 1: Human Information Interaction information retrieval; information behavior; human computer interaction; usability; e-science and distributed collaboration; virtual organizations; user modeling; mobile technologies
Track 2: Information Organization and Representation metadata; taxonomies; information visualization; information architecture; digital libraries; indexing and abstracting; classification; social tagging; semantic web and ontology; social media
Track 3: Information Use & Analysis information seeking and user studies; strategic, security and competitive intelligence; information and knowledge management; comparative analysis of information practices; information metrics (bibliometrics/informatics/webometrics)
Track 4: Information Preservation & Access digital curation; big data; e-book; information quality; copyright, intellectual properties and related issues; information literacy
Track 5: Information Environments & Socio-Cultural Aspects organizational and contextual issues; security and privacy; economics of information; social informatics; information policy; foundation of information science; digital humanities; web 3.0 and related technologies; cloud computing

Theory of religion
Zone Books, Jan 20, 1989 - 126 pages
Theory of Religion brings to philosophy what Bataille's earlier book, The Accursed Share, brought to anthropology and history; namely, an analysis based on notions of excess and expenditure. Bataille brilliantly defines religion as so many different attempts to respond to the universe's relentless generosity. Framed within his original theory of generalized economics and based on his masterly reading of archaic religious activity, Theory of Religion constitutes, along with The Accursed Share, the most important articulation of Bataille's work.
Georges Bataille (1897-1962), founder of the French review Critique, wrote fiction and essays on a wide range of topics. His books in English translation include Story of the Eye, Blue of Noon, Literature and Evil, Manet and Erotism.
Robert Hurley is the translator of The History of Sexuality by Michel Foucault and cotranslator of Anti Oedipus by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Distributed for Zone Books.

May 24, 2016
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher has told his players they can't use their Twitter accounts for the rest of the year.
Fisher's move came after some players' tweeted objectionable material on their Twitter sites in recent weeks, including one that quoted rap lyrics about killing police officers. The third-year Seminole coach wants his players to be as focused as possible and believes that social media can be a distraction, especially during the season.
Many players shut down their participation on Twitter last year after an early three-game losing streak wiped out their championship hopes.
Florida State is a runaway preseason favorite to win the Atlantic Coast Conference this year behind fifth-year senior quarterback EJ Manuel and a veteran defensive unit that ranked among the nation's best last season.

Mon Dieu, what a Wasteland! TS Eliot could write the script. And WHAT's with Valdespin's shirt hanging out of his pants? If it's not his shirt, the next day it's an enormous handkerchief. Hard to believe this hasn't been brought to his attention. If the Mets coaches and "leadership" can't correct him, MLB should. If not, half the league will be wearing their uniform pants down on their knees with polka dot underwear hanging out.
Well, waddaya know? Tonight, Valdespin had his shirt tucked in, and Dickey had to remove his bracelets. Looks like MLB is finally cracking down. Strange that Herman has to be the one to point all this out and not a sportswriter or one of the millions of European readers of this blog.

Since my upgrade to 4.5.6 Opensource from 4.0.5, the daily reports are being sent to the "Relay MTA for External delivery" which in turn returns an error about relaying. Normal outgoing mails gets delivered fine using this setup.
For my MTA trusted networks I have 127.0.0.0/8 and two other networks that have interfaces connected to the mail server (172.20.200.0/24 and 192.168.200.0/24).
I have Enable DNS Lookups unchecked.
I have searched through the forums and just have not come across a post that has resolved this.
Attached is a log of what occurs. Mail from the root account gets delivered just fine. I have some reports that run as root (from cron) and the emails get delivered.
My logwatch report and daily mail report no longer get delivered because they are sent to the MTA relay.
Any ideas or links that could help me out would be greatly appreciated.

|Four county officials run unopposed
|Written by Chris Lee
Three of the four unopposed Republican candidates on the 2010 Phillips County ballot are incumbents. The fourth, Joe Kinnie, is seeking the County Commissioner District One seat currently held by Susan Roll Walters, who chose not to seek re-election.
The other three candidates include Beth Cumming for Clerk and Recorder, Doug Kamery for Assessor and Rob Urbach for Sheriff.
Because each candidate is running unopposed, they only need one vote to earn an elected four-year term. Assuming each will vote for themselves, each should be in office until the next election in 2014.
Even though the four positions are vastly different, a common item each expressed was the concern for what Amendments 60, 61 and Proposition 101 will do to Phillips County if they pass.
Kinnie believes people in Holyoke and surrounding areas are well educated on the initiatives but is worried what voters on the front range will do.
Following is a brief profile on each candidate:
Rob Urbach
When running for his second term in 2006, Urbach stated he was interested in adding another officer to his force. Two years ago, that wish became final when Michael Grant was added as part of a courtroom security grant.
The department currently is made up of Urbach, undersheriff Thom Elliott, deputies Barry Winckler and Grant and the department's search dog Ace. Shawna Bergstrom serves as the administrative assistant.
Ace was added to the force in March and has been through an abundance of training. Urbach, who has a background in dog handling and training, has worked with deputy Grant who serves as Ace's handler.
Although Ace has extensive training, he isn't certified yet and hopes are to get him certified soon. "He (Ace) will be a great tool for us," Urbach said.
Urbach is proud with how the last four years have gone and is looking forward to the next four. "I love this community," the sheriff said. "I really like working with the people and for the people of Phillips County. I can't see myself doing this any place else."
The department has also updated the security standard at the courthouse by implementing the magnetometer and video cameras in the courtroom. Additional video surveillance is scheduled for the future as well.
Something Urbach is excited about is the implementation of an ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) unit in the area. He said more information on the program will come in the very near future.
"I've always stressed working with the kids, educating the kids and trying to keep them out of trouble," Urbach said. "I'd much rather educate than incarcerate."
The sheriff was elected in 2002 to his current position and has 26 years of law enforcement experience. He stresses he has, and always will have, an open door policy to the public.
Urbach serves on the Eastern Colorado Plains Drug Task Force as the board president, is the president of the E911 Board, president of the P.C. Comm Board, board member of ICAC and also sits on the board for F&H golf course.
Urbach has a son Christopher whose mother died in 2006 from cancer. Urbach is remarried to wife Chris.
"I really appreciate the support the community has given me the last eight years," Urbach said.
Beth Cumming
Cumming is seeking her third term as County Clerk.
"I enjoy working with the public," Cumming said. "I look forward to continue serving the public to the best of my ability."
A native of Sedgwick County, Cumming moved to Holyoke in 2000 and was elected to Clerk in 2002. She served as the deputy clerk in Sedgwick County from 1993-2000.
Something the office has done to better serve the western part of the county is implement a drop-off place for mail-in ballots in Haxtun, according to Cumming.
Some of Cumming's duties include working in the motor vehicle department, CDL licensing, marriage licenses, recording, accounts payable and elections.
The clerk's office staff includes Val Danielson, Sheila Gift and Diane Rahe, and Cumming said they really help the office run smoothly.
Cumming enjoys spending time with sons Brett, 16 and Bradley, 13 in her free time.
Doug Kamery
Kamery was elected in 2002 and is seeking his third term as Phillips County Assessor.
Kamery noted the office has implemented a website where people can visit to see their property values as well as others. He also said 2011 will be another re-evaluation year, one he said will be tough as Phillips County isn't following the trend in housing like the front range. The county doesn't have near the number of foreclosures, and sales are holding steady and not decreasing.
Kamery said gas production has decreased, lowering county value by a substantial amount. Wells are being drilled, according to Kamery, and he hopes to see that increase.
The assessor hopes to continue his job fairly and equitably for the next four years. He said the office wouldn't function without the help of Toby Thompson and Judy Beavers, and they will continue to encourage the open-door policy.
Kamery is past president of the Colorado Assessors Association, past chairman of the Manufactured Home Task force and current co-chair of Phillips County Relay for Life. Kamery also serves as president of the congregation at Haxtun Immanuel Lutheran Church.
Kamery and his wife Pat live in Haxtun and co-own PAK Enterprises. The couple has two daughters. Jennifer, 26 and husband Nathan Businger live in Sterling. Miranda, 23 lives in Ft. Morgan.
Joe Kinnie
Kinnie announced his intent to seek candidacy for County Commissioner at the county's Republican assembly in March.
He moved to Holyoke in 2006 after marrying wife Ruth. He is a third-generation farmer with operations in Phillips and Sedgwick counties.
Kinnie said he is pleased with how things are going within the county currently and hopes to help be a part of continuing it.
Kinnie began farming in northeast Colorado in 1972 after being employed for three years with Sandia Corporation, a prime contractor of the Atomic Energy Commission. He took over the family farm after his father began a quest into the political arena. His father, Kenneth, was a two-term state senator.
He has been involved in various community projects. He has served as a member of the board of the Marks Butte Groundwater Management Dist. since its inception and was on the committee that introduced the county-wide television translator system which brought rural television to N.E. Colorado farm families.
Kinnie served on the board of the Colorado Conservation Tillage Association for six years, with two of those as president. He currently serves on the rural fire board in Sedgwick County.
He is a member of First Baptist Church of Holyoke. Additionally he is a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association and helped form the Northeastern Rifle and Pistol Club.
He served with the Sedgwick County Republican party as precinct committeeman while he lived there.
Kinnie's family was instrumental in helping to bring Seaboard Foods into Sedgwick County by selling tracts of land owned by the family farm so Seaboard could build their hog confinements. Four of the 11 hog sites were built on property previously owned by the Kinnies.

There are one or two Inkscape tutorials that I'm familiar with (have a look in the Tutorials section at the Sticky "Tutorials in PDF Format"). You might find something useful. Well, all the best on your new project. Be sure to upload pics of your WIP map once you get started. You'll get some good feedback that way.


text: Eastern Cambridge/Kendall Square Open Space Study Open Space Study Area Map Over the past several decades, Kendall Square has transformed from a former industrial area into a world renowned center of biotech, high tech research, and innovative companies. As the area continues to evolve, the City has worked to create a vision for future growth through the Kendall Square Central Square (K2C2) Planning Study. The K2C2 study process reinforced the notion that an integrated, well managed and programmed network of public and private open spaces that serve a variety of users and provide a range of experiences and environments is a key element in creating a sense of place and community in Kendall Square. Over 5 acres of new and renovated public open space will be created, primarily at four locations, in the vicinity of Kendall Square in Eastern Cambridge. Rogers Street between Second and Third Streets Triangle parcel at Land Boulevard and First Street Galileo Way between Broadway and Binney Street Point Park at Main Street and Broadway The City, through the Community Development Department, has begun a public process to explore ways to integrate these new spaces into the existing open space system in Kendall Square and eastern Cambridge and provide a network of well connected, managed and programmed parks and open spaces that serve a variety of users, and provide a range of experiences and environments. This process will build on the vision and concepts that were established by the Kendall Square Advisory Committee as part of the Kendall Square Central Square (K2C2) Planning Study and will help determine the character and role of both existing and proposed open spaces in the area. Recommendations produced at the completion of this study will guide the design process for each individual open space location. Connect Kendall Square Open Space Planning Competition In order to further promote creativity and innovative ideas during this exciting process, the Community Development Department sponsored a planning and design competition to develop a comprehensive open space plan for the area. The competition attracted a wide range of planning and design firms and encouraged new thinking regarding not only open space design but also the overall public realm, connections, programming, and place making. The four finalist teams selected to participate in Stage III of the Connect Kendall Square Open Space Planning Competition developed planning and design frameworks for open space in Kendall Square and Eastern Cambridge. The competition jury evaluated the submittals based on the Project Vision and Planning and Design Goals created by the Eastern Cambridge Kendall Square Open Space (ECKOS) Study Committee. After a three-stage process spanning eight months, the six-member jury chose the framework plan by Richard Burck Associates as the winning submission. Click here to view the jury report. Following the competition, the City will work with the ECKOS Study Committee and the selected team to refine their plan, potentially incorporating desired elements from other proposed framework plans. The final plan will be used to guide the design of the new public open spaces and provide a framework for review of future public and private open space, as well as programming, placemaking, and connectivity.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.67 lbs (0.76 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I loved these, I'm addicted to pretzels, I'm glad they're gluten-free, my mom loved it too. I eat it with red tea, such a nice snack, you can tell an extremely minor difference than leading pretzels except this is a gluten-free you you don't eat everyday, everybody knows that gluten plays a major rule in causing Celiac disease and other risks. Salt is lesser than leading pretzels.
these taste as good as regular pretzels. they even stand up to dipping in cream cheese.
Downright tasty!

I will be filing a bug request on the support portal - I am posting this info because I found no issue like this on the web.
In the past few weeks, users mailboxes have been very frequently filling up. I sent my techs around to check that the users (ones with mailboxes filling up) had auto archive setup. They verified and forced each computer to archive. No change, mailboxes still full. We went and looked at the archive settings on the folder level. When you check the inbox folder, it has been set to "do not archive" we then set it to use the default archive settings (or any other setting). Press apply, go back to the properties and it is set back to "do not archive"!. I have tried everything on the outlook client to make it work -
FIX: Uninstall Zimbra connector for outlook version 7.1.4 and installed Older Zimbra connector. I went to 7.0.1. Now I can archive again.
Outlook 2007 SP 3
Zimbra professional (server) 7.1.4
Major bug will be filed. We have 325 users on our system and it will fill up all of their quotas fast.

One of the first gardening projects my husband and I tackled when we first moved into our house was dig up an old Privet hedge in our backyard. The hedge grew between the upper and lower patio – I think the original homeowners wanted a screen between the house and pool, but when we moved in, it was unkempt and burly. I had thought we could salvage it, but my husband wanted to remove it (Yes, honey. You were right!)
It took a whole weekend to dig out the bushes and deep roots. When we were done, we were left with a sloping L-shaped bed. Once I saw the blank canvas, I envisioned a small rock garden. I built up the bottom of the slope with rocks to create a foundation and then amended the soil with compost and topsoil. The next step was deciding what to plant. Aside from a variety of succulents planted in the rock crevices, I also added a bunch of perennials including sedum, lamb's ear, coreopsis, creeping phlox, and Scotch moss. To add some height, I decided to plant a few ornamental grasses. Miscanthus sinensis 'Goliath', Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus', Miscanthus sinensis 'Titian', Carex pendula (Drooping Sedge), Carex flacca (Blue Sedge), and Festuca amethystina.
Two years later, the ornamental grasses have stolen the show. They're not that showy in the spring, but by midsummer they're quite impressive. By early fall, they skyrocket and bloom, and are quite spectacular. During the winter months, they create interest in the garden when everything else is hidden underneath the snow.
If you haven't tried growing ornamental grasses, I highly recommend adding them to your garden. They're easy to grow, versatile in the landscape, and incredibly showy. I've become addicted to ornamental grasses and have dabbled with a few in the front yard. I also want to design a new bed under a huge maple tree at the back of our yard. Ornamental grasses are definitely a good thing!

Uh…Hi… welcome back….
So…originally I had no plans to make that into 2 posts. But this part ended up being so long that the entire article would have been more than 5000 words. God damn, 5000 words just to explain one word. That sounds so absurd. But then again, mal is not just some word. Mal is like: "I am mal, bitch!" And everyone's just like "Oh no, there is mal, it's so tough… no one can explain it." Well, we'll see … or should I say mal sehen… uh… no… I probably shouldn't because we haven't talked about this yet. But we will :).
So… in the first part we talked about the origins of mal and the somewhat normal mal as in einmal zweimal and so on. If you haven't read that part, click right here and read it first please:
And now let's get to what's actually interesting… the particle mal, the all over the place mal, the "once don't make no sense" –mal … and we'll talk about all those combinations like noch mal, schon mal, erst mal and so on… so are you ready? Great. Continue reading

This service allows customers to closely manage their cash by enabling them to determine how much money must be on deposit by the end of the day to cover incoming items. The remaining cash is then freed up for investing or debt payments. Using a unique American Banking Association number, we can obtain from the Federal Reserve the total dollar amount of that day's drawn checks on selected accounts and advise the customer of the total before 11 a.m. on business days.
Positive Pay is a fraud-detection service that protects customers from illegal duplication of documents. It also reduces the time needed to resolve issues when a fraud is perpetrated. The customer provides issuance information—date, amount and check number—every time a check is written. Then, as checks come in to be paid, they are compared with this issuance file before they are charged against the account. If any check does not match the issuance file, a reject report is created and faxed to the customer, who must make the decision whether to pay or return the item.
This service allows organizations to earn interest on their excess balances. All available balances above a predetermined amount are transferred into a repurchase account on a nightly basis. Because the repurchase process involves the purchase of a security interest, which serves as collateral for the swept money. This conservative investment vehicle is very suitable for large not-for-profit organizations.
Setting up a sweep process involves linking various accounts to automatically move money between them. A zero-balance account is a sweep account in which the balance is reduced to zero in one account and then moved to another. It can be part of a cash-concentration function in which balances in subaccounts are automatically swept to the master account. The advantage of this type of setup is that it allows organizations to work with a single account when making disbursements, since the bank has already moved all available funds to that account.
Customers who carry a large balance on a line of credit will benefit from this service because it automatically pays down the line and saves on interest. To accomplish this, a checking account is linked to a commercial line of credit and all available balances above a predetermined amount are used to automatically pay down the line. Conversely, if the checking balance falls below the predetermined amount, funds are automatically transferred from the line of credit.
Customers who issue hundreds of checks monthly will appreciate having images of their returned checks stored on a CD that has a built-in search feature. The benefit is twofold: customers don't have to store boxes of canceled checks and the process of locating specific checks is much faster.
As more money is moved through the ACH system, customers need to receive information supporting the fund amounts that are being transferred. Large ACH transactions often come to the bank with attached information called "addenda records." These records must be translated from a system generated format to one that is easily interpreted by the recipient and addenda information. We offer a service that allows us to receive and translate these addenda records to a user-friendly format. The resulting EDI reports can be faxed to or electronically downloaded by the customer.

Kailyn Lowry's Fiance Javi Marroquin Turns 20!
It's a very special day for Teen Mom 2's Kailyn Lowry and her lovable fiance, Javi Marroquin. December 11 is Javi's birthday, and this year he's turning the big 2-0.
So how did this reality TV power couple celebrate? Last night, they shared an early b-day dinner, and today, they went for brunch with baby Isaac. Javi already opened his present back in November — a black Kenneth Cole watch — which he proudly displayed on Twitter.
But Javi has more than material items to be thankful for this year. He's got Kailyn, who gave her man a swoon-worthy birthday shout-out late last night.
"Happy birthday to my favorite man in the whole world! My best friend, my everything! #forever @javim9 #iloveyou," she wrote. Imagine waking up to that message!
Isaac also joined in the celebration, but his present to Javi was a little less … luxurious. When Kail asked her tiny tyke what he got Javi, he responded, "DIRRRRTTTT!" Kids say the darndest things, don't they?
Are you surprised that Javi's only 20? Did you wish him a happy birthday on Twitter? Tell us below!
