Library marks 150 years as federal depository
Barry McNamara
Lynn Daw (left), technical services librarian at Monmouth College's Hewes Library, and library director Rick Sayre pose with a "Newsmap" from World War II. The item is just one of many "little treasures" that the library has acquired during its 150 years of serving as a Federal Depository Library.
Two sesquicentennials have received considerable attention in Monmouth in decades past. One occurred in 1981, when the City of Monmouth turned 150 years old, and the other took place in 2003, when Monmouth College followed suit.
The latest sesquicentennial marks 150 years of Monmouth College serving as a Federal Depository Library (FDL). That makes the college's library the oldest FDL in the state and the fourth-oldest in the nation.
Lynn Daw, MC's technical services librarian, explained that FDLs got their start when 19th-century legislators began asking for copies of various bills or documents to be sent to their constituencies.
"They might request that the Journals of the House or the Journals of the Senate be sent to their home library," said Daw. "Soon, every library was wanting a copy."
In 1858, the U.S. Congress enabled each representative to designate a depository in his district or territory and, in 1859, the U.S. Senate followed suit for state depositories. The Government Printing Office (GPO) was established the following year.
In 1860, and for several decades afterward, the college's distinction of being a Federal Depository Library was shared with the community library, but MC took over its exclusive claim in 1905 with the construction of its Carnegie Library (now Poling Hall).
Interestingly, one reason that the college's Hewes Library is open to the community is that it's a requirement for the general public to have access to the federal documents inside.
There are approximately 1,350 Federal Depository Libraries throughout the U.S. and its territories, and there is at least one in almost every congressional district. Daw explained that Monmouth is considered a "regional" FDL, which means it's a "selective" depository. That is in contrast to the Illinois State Library in Springfield, which receives all of the federal documents.
Documents printed by the government grew to an "overwhelming" quantity during the 20th century, said Daw. For several years, microfiche was used to cut down on the storage space needed. That format was followed by CD-ROMs, and now the Internet is the preferred method of making the information available.
"We currently select roughly 19 percent of all documents published by the Government Printing Office," said Daw. "Today, many items are received electronically and are available for free (at https://vufind.carli.illinois.edu/vf-mon)."
Now that so many documents are paperless, Daw said the college library receives only "about two boxes" of publications per month. While the electronic items can be accessed through the college library, Daw said the general public can access them through their PCs, too.
Through the years, what Daw describes as "lots of little treasures" have been deposited in the college library, making it a historian's delight.
One such treasure is a series of poster-sized "Newsmaps," which were published by the Department of Defense during World War II. They provided regular updates on the war and showed where various events were taking place.
"They have a lot of Rosie the Riveter-type messages – things like 'a foxhole will save your life,'" said Daw.
When determining what type of federal documents the college library receives today, Daw said how the information fits into Monmouth's curriculum is a factor. For example, federal information that details what should be taught in junior high math is of interest to Monmouth's educational studies department.
The longer Daw works with the collection, the more interesting items she finds.
"We have maps of Yellowstone, since it's a national park, and we have census information, in print, dating back to 1860," she said. "We also have information on the explorations before the transcontinental railroad went through, so we have John Wesley Powell's maps of the Colorado River. We just keep discovering things like that."
Other items include the Warren Commission reports on the assassination of President Kennedy and records from the "War of the Rebellion," which would have been received right around the time that Monmouth first became an FDL. One of the oldest documents on hand is an 1834 reprint of the Annals of the Congress from 1789.
Daw called the value of the collection "almost priceless," for the way it "puts history in the hands" of library patrons.

A recap of Wednesday night's open of AFI Docs with Alex Gibney's "Zero Days" and highlights of what's to come.
One of the reasons "That Evening Sun" works so well is that the good character isn't all good and the bad character isn't all bad, although they both come close. That leads to a drama set on a Tennessee farm that begins by looking like your standard old codger story and turns out, as Clint Eastwood's "Gran Torino" did, to be a lot more.
Hal Holbrook, that rock-steady actor with a face off Mount Rushmore, stars as Abner Meecham, an eightysomething who up and walks out of a retirement home one day and takes a taxi to his farm outside town. It is his farm as far as he's concerned, anyway, although his lawyer son has power of attorney and has rented it to the Choat family. They are well-known to Abner, who dislikes them. Abner and neighbor Thurl (Barry Corbin) agree that Lonzo Choat (Ray McKinnon) doesn't amount to much.
While Paul (Walton Goggins), Abner's son, busy with a court case, issues ineffectual commands into his cell phone, Abner sets up an outpost in the bare-boards sharecropper cabin and keeps a hostile eye on the house. Lonzo's 16-year-old daughter, Pamela (Mia Wasikowska), comes to visit, is instinctively nice and sort of disregards Abner's hostility. When she confides that her father hates barking dogs, Abner adopts one of Thurl's loudest barking dogs and moves him into the cabin.
Choat has been living on disability, can't make payments on the house, is in no shape to work the farm and usually has a beer in his hand. If the inside of the farmhouse looks warm and inviting, that's because of the efforts of two women: Choat's long-suffering wife, Ludie (Carrie Preston), and Abner's own dead wife, Ellen (Dixie Carter). There is added poignancy now that Carter, Holbrook's wife, has herself died.
Ellen fixed up the house, Ludie keeps it up, and the two men snarl at each other in the yard. Abner cheerfully calls Choat a white- trash redneck, which seems true as we see him drunkenly whipping his wife and daughter with a garden hose. Abner brings this to a stop with a couple of pistol shots. But this situation isn't as simple as who has the gun.
We begin to sense that Choat acts mean but is scared and uncertain inside. By flashbacks and other means, we learn that Abner hasn't always been a sterling husband and father himself. Because both men are flawed, the story takes on an interest and complexity that the setup doesn't hint at.
It's a story confined by time and space, adapted by the director, Scott Teems, from the story "I Hate to See That Evening Sun Go Down" by William Gay. Although the setting is a gentle Tennessee landscape and the houses look like illustrations for a calendar of farm life, the situation owes more to Eugene O'Neill or Tennessee Williams. The actors are more than successful at creating deeply plausible characters. There may have been temptations to go broad, but they're all subtle, even McKinnon, in a role that could have gone over the top.
Watching Holbrook, I was reminded again of how steady and valuable this man has been throughout his career. I saw his famous "Mark Twain Tonight" three times in the '60s, I remember he and Dixie one night at the Royal Court Theater in London where a lamp came crashing to the stage and they handled it with perfect grace and humor, and I remember him most recently as the old man who cares and worries about the doom-seeking hero of "Into the Wild." Here he incorporates everything he knows about getting to the age of 80 (he's actually 85) and conveys it without the slightest sign of effort. This isn't a performance, it's an embodiment. You know, I think he's about old enough to play Mark Twain.
Note: "That Evening Sun" won the Audience Award and a jury prize for ensemble acting at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival.

Angels' Richards out 6-9 months with torn patellar tendon
BOSTON - Angels starting pitcher Garrett Richards has a torn patellar tendon in his left knee and will be out 6-9 months, the team said Thursday.
Richards, who hurt the knee running to cover first base in the second inning of Wednesday's game against the Red Sox in Boston, had an MRI in Southern California on Thursday.
He is expected to undergo surgery next week, the team said.
The best-case scenario if that Richards returns in time to begin spring training. If his rehab takes nine months, the upper end of the range, he would miss the beginning of next season.
"It's a huge loss," Angels reliever Huston Street said before Thursday's game against the Red Sox in Boston. "But we aren't going to cry about it. Garrett wouldn't want us to."

Re: Family Portrait with T3i+50mm 1.8 at Home
In reply to Chris R-UK • Dec 10, 2012
Well, the 18-135mm lens certainly gives you more flexibility, but the problem with that zoom lens is that is slides between a minimum aperture of 3.5-5.6. Given that most lens are their sharpest when stopped down 1-2 stops from their largest opening, that would mean you'd be using an aperture of around f/8 or so. f/8 isn't that great for blurring backgrounds.
What I would do is use the 50 f/1.8, stop the lens down to f/4 and have the group move further away from the background, maybe 6-8 feet (2 meters). Then you position the camera at a distance that will get the entire group in the frame. The further the distance between the group and the background, the easier it will be to blur the background out.

Perez yet to run at optimal level
Even though he finished on the podium in Bahrain last month, Sergio Perez believes his Force India car hasn't reached its full potential yet this season. While the Mexican finished in third place at Sakhir during the third race of the season, his team-mate Nico Hulkenberg has been the more consistent Force India driver so far this year, having not finished outside the top six in any of the four races so far. While Perez acknowledged that a single podium position in an unfancied car was already something of an achievement, he admitted that he needs to repeat that performance elsewhere if Force India are to meet their targets. "On the one hand I'm happy," Perez told crash.net....

Glee Stars Lea Michele and Cory Monteith Are Dating!It was bound to happen sooner or later! Glee stars, Cory Monteith and Lea Michele have been quietly dating and we think that it's one hot pairing! The two were spotted at Il Covo in L.A on Valentine's Day enjoying a sweet dinner. "They were into each other all night...She was very happy, flirting, and touching Cory a lot. He just stared at her with puppy-dog eyes." And a few days later they were spotted at the Ritz-Carlton! Lea even admitted last year that, "for me, if it was going to happen with anybody, it would have happened with Cory." So it's about time! We're over the moon about this match up, we just hope it doesn't end in heartache! What would happen to Glee then...?!

Hosted by noted reporters Tom Brokaw and Jane Pauley, this program presents in-depth coverage of news stories in the tradition of 60 Minutes and 20/20. Rather than just reading news reports... See full summary »
Currently called The Newshour with Jim Lehrer (which may change when Lehrer steps down), this is by far the most-informative and least-biased news report on American television. Five days a week, the Newshour is the true heir to the CBS Evening News with the Walter Cronkite. The reporting is first-rate, the issues are the most important, and the hour steers clear of opinionated commentary, except on Fridays. Briefly, for about 20 minutes every Friday, Mark Shields and David Brooks provide observations regarding the past week's political movements.The format was changed recently. Originally, a news summary began the hour and was followed by anywhere between three and five in-depth stories, some of which were summarized at the beginning. The financial crisis of late 2008 forced the Newshour to revise its format. Now the top stories may include in-depth analysis immediately following before moving to the other stories not necessarily included in the summary. The Newshour ends with its recap of major stories.Unlike the other major networks which might give blow-by-blow accounts when a celebrity or politician is involved with scandal or unexpected death, the Newshour remains with those stories that can impact the lives of everyday citizens, both in the United States and worldwide. CNN, one of the better cable news organizations, along with MSNBC and Fox devoted enormous airtime to the death of Michael Jackson in late June of 2009. Not that his death was not newsworthy, but the media coverage of Jackson was quite excessive. Many other events relevant to the state of the nation and the world deserved to trump the expounding upon every nuance regarding Jackson's passing. Did we really need to see continual interviews with Jackson's family and closest associates for weeks after his death? And as someone devoted to social causes, Jackson may have disapproved of the television news over-coverage of his death. Only the Newshour kept up with other stories, such as the Sotomayer appointment to the US Supreme Court and the Health Care Bill.On Fridays, the Newshour includes political analysis by journalists Mark Shields and David Brooks, two of the best commentators on the airwaves, their only rivals David Gergen (who may be the absolute best political commentator in the business) and Jeffrey Toobin, both of whom work for CNN. Instead of the ranting and ravings of people like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly (who are really entertainers and not journalists), the format is a discussion with Jim Lehrer (or another Newshour regular) asking questions of the commentators to guide the conversation. David Brooks is a Republican and leans slightly to the right and Mark Shields is a feisty Democrat who leans to the left. Since Brooks joined Shields in the early 2000's (not to be confused with Brooke Shields), replacing Republican spokesperson Paul Gigot, the Friday analysis has improved by leaps and bounds, bringing the quality back to where it was with David Gergen and Mark Shields in the early 1990's. (Gergen left the show in the mid-1990's when then-president Bill Clinton asked him to join his team at the White House.) Shields and Brooks appear to respect and like one another despite their political disagreements; they rarely jump over each other when the other is speaking and always maintain an air of mutual esteem, unlike other political debates where the participants would probably wield baseball bats if given the chance. Shields and Brooks recognize that they will disagree at times but their job is to present both sides of the political debate in the most civilized manner possible. They have honed their commentary to where they feel comfortable criticizing their respective parties and members rather than simply paying lip-service to party ideals. For example, Brooks became interested in Barack Obama long before he made a run for the White House. Shields has great respect for the republican John McCain. The two contribute immensely to the public's need to better understand the current political underpinnings of the climate of Washington DC. Few do it better. One of the most interesting observations in recent memory was Shields' criticism of John Kerry's lack of message in his 2004 US presidential campaign. Both acknowledge and respect the other's opinions, which is the kind of political discourse we need more of in the United States.The only advice I can give: switch from Fox, CNN and MSNBC once in awhile and try the Newshour. And try to catch the Friday commentary with Shields and Brooks. You can always switch it back to Larry King if things get too intellectual for you.

A wafer-thin pitching staff on today's Birthday Team. Only four pitchers born November 8 have ever started a game in the majors, and Alvarez started exactly one game. Bryan Shaw is fourth in career innings pitched among November 8 players, with 87.2.2. Dag Nabbit at ExactlyAsOld.com Posted: November 08, 2012 at 08:33 AM (#4297746)

Jays signed Maicer Izturis for three years, 9 million dollars. There's an option for another year at 3 million, or a 1 million buyout. This is apparently Alex Anthopoulos' biggest FA signing ever, in terms of guaranteed money.5. Walt Davis Posted: November 08, 2012 at 10:43 PM (#4298617)
It's not much money, but I have no idea why you'd give an apparently blah (per bb-ref's numbers) utility guy three years. If I had to guess, I'd say he's somewhere else by the end of 2014.
It's not much money, but I have no idea why you'd give an apparently blah (per bb-ref's numbers) utility guy three years.
It does look like MI might be past his sell-by date but, for his career, he's actually a bit above-average (by bWAR) which means he was an awesome utility guy. He'd likely have been a starting SS for several years if he hadn't landed on the same team as Aybar. But the defensive numbers suggest his time as a passable defensive SS are probably gone and the bat may be in decline. Still, worse guys (Chris Gomez, Juan Castro, Cairo) hung on in this role for ages.

DOUGLAS, Isle of Man, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucent Group, a UK-based land site assembly firm whose focus is in the delivery of strategic land for residential development, has rebranded and released a new state-of-the-art web site. The new branding reflects the changes Lucent Group has made to illustrate their expertise in strategic land selection and active management of those land assets through the planning process, delivery and divestment.
Lucent identifies and raises acquisition capital from financial markets around the world for land investment in strategic land assets in high growth areas of the UK through the Lucent Strategic Land Fund, a Luxembourg domiciled Open Ended Investment Company and a dedicated fund of the KMG SICAV SIF.
Charles M. Flynn, CEO and Founder of Lucent Group stated, "The rebranding and launch of our new web site is an important evolutionary step for our organization. This transformation better reflects the value of our brand and the quality of experience, integrity and expertise we bring to land development in the UK through the Strategic Land Fund offering."
The web site is dedicated to showcasing the latest, as well as historic, performance of the land fund portfolio through state-of-the-art technology and enables greater investor awareness in Lucent's approach by highlighting the intellectual capital and industry experience of Lucent's leadership.
Inherent to the web site's overall redesign and rebranding strategy was to improve site usability and navigation in addition to providing investors and professional advisers who visit the site a deeper and richer understanding of Lucent's growing land investment portfolio and the specialist market knowledge that Lucent brings.
According to Director Rosamond Flynn, "the new web site and branding came about through branding planning sessions between Lucent's executive leadership and board members."
"Everyone agreed we needed to develop our brand to foster greater market awareness of the Lucent opportunity and what we are accomplishing in the UK, especially in light of so much global economic strife," stated Director Flynn. "This rebranding was carefully and methodically planned out specifically to differentiate ourselves in what is a fairly young industry in the UK; to develop an interactive platform that highlights that Lucent is led by a new generation of leadership with a fresh vision marked by global thinking, credible due diligence, customization of strategy and a certainty of execution to cultivate exceptional returns for our investors."
A new "Insights" section anchors the new web site's content to better inform investors and investment professionals. An illustrious panel of experts, including Stephen Sorrell, Bob Allies, Richard Jones, Steve Collins, Andrew Screen and Ben Mitchell offer a broad spectrum of insights into the market and economy, the investment industry as well as government policy as it relates to land investment and land development in the UK.

LifeLock hasn't found much security in the public markets yet.
Shares of the maker of identity theft protection services, which began trading Wednesday under the ticker "LOCK" (LOCK), fell nearly 7% in their New York Stock Exchange (NYX) debut.
LifeLock was poised for an inauspicious kickoff. The company's underwriters priced the 15.7 million shares sold in the IPO at $9 -- below the expected range of $9.50 to $11.50. The IPO generated $141.3 million for the company.
LifeLock is a company with a colorful, or some might say tarnished, history. The company's CEO, Todd Davis, infamously offered up his social security number by displaying it on the side of a truck in television advertisements. Following the stunt, Davis reportedly became a victim of identity theft.
In March 2010, LifeLock paid the Federal Trade Commission $12 million to settle charges that the company deceived consumers about the efficacy of its identity theft protection services.
Related: IRS pay billions in refunds to identity thieves
LifeLock was also one of the few companies to continue advertising on Rush Limbaugh's show after the talk show host called a Georgetown University student a slut for her views on birth control in early March 2012. After Limbaugh's comments, LifeLock's chief marketing officer issued a statement saying that the company did not agree with Limbaugh's statements but accepted his apology. Most other advertisers pulled out at that time.
It's a busy week for IPOs with eight companies set to tap the public markets, including restaurant and arcade company Dave & Buster's Entertainment.

My fiance and I are traveling to Costa Rica for our honeymoon in June and are so excited for our trip. We are starting in Alajuela and are going to visit Arenal and Monteverde.
We are staying at Hotel Villa Bonita in Alajuela, The Lost Iguana Resort in Arenal area, Hotel Fonda Vela in Monteverde area, and finally the Hotel Bougainvillea in Santo Domingo de Heredia. We will be driving so we will have a car.
What are some of your favorite "don't-miss" restaurants in these areas and what did you enjoy eating there? We are hoping to spend under $10 on an average meal, but could spend more on a special splurge meal. We love all kinds of foods. My fiance loves spicy food.
My fiance and I both have very delicate digestive systems and tend to get stomach problems often, so we want to be sure to pick restaurants that have good quality-control and won't make us sick.
Thanks in advanced for the help.

Don Rufino is a great spot - one of the "cuter" restaurants and close to the city center with the park and the church. I had a mountain trout dish there in a brandy lemon sauce that was delicious; it came with yummy mashed potatoes. Also like La Choza de Laurel - fun open air spot. Soda la Parada is a good chance to try Costa Rican pizza; we split one for ten bucks. El Novillo has some good steaks. A lot of the restaurants there are just a concrete slab with a roof, open air. We had a good lunch at the Hanging Bridges, much better than the snack bar food we were expecting.
Pizzeria de Johnny is good in Monteverde. Also the restaurant on site at Fonda Vela is good, and they usually have the fireplace going which is nice. We had some great smoothies at the Monteverde Reserve made with fresh fruit.
You won't find a lot of spicy food in CR, mostly casados, rice, beans, etc.

They've recently remodeled it, and it's huge now. I had a great salad there, and my husband liked the pizza. It's a cute place. Good spot to go to when you have rice and bean overload.

We really liked Morpho's in Santa Elena (Monteverde). The Tree House and Sofia's were also good, though very different.
The best dining experience we had in Arenal was dinner at Eco Termales. Get an evening reservation if you can.

We really enjoyed the dinner at Eco T too; we thought the chicken was great, beef was good but a little chewy as is most CR beef.

It's making me hungry just thinking about it! I'm a major foodie, so I'm looking forward to the interesting cuisine!

In Monteverde, go to the Sabores ice cream parlor. The region actually has a huge dairy industry, as well as coffee, so their coffee milkshake was one of the best ice cream treats I've ever had!

We had some of the locally made ice cream which was also very good - topped with green cherries!

In MV we loved Stella's Bakery/Deli right across the road from CASEM on the way to the reserve. Ditto on Sabores ice cream - the best!! I eat mainly chicken and fish when in CR, find the beef pretty tough. You'll love the fresh fruit on the breakfast buffets at the hotels.
Congrats on your upcoming wedding and enjoy a great honeymoon!

Dutch Embassy in Sofia: There Is No Official Stance on Schengen Enlargement Yet
The Dutch government has not come up with a stance on the Schengen bids of Bulgaria and Romania, according to a media statement of the Dutch Embassy in Sofia.
Commenting on a series of publications in Bulgarian media outlets concerning the expansion of the Schengen zone, the Dutch Embassy in Sofia informs that the Dutch government has no stance on the matter yet.
"The decision of the Dutch government will be made in close cooperation with the other member states before the Justice and Home Affairs Council on March 7-8 2013," the Dutch diplomatic mission in Sofia informs.
The Dutch Embassy in Sofia notes that it will keep Bulgarian media posted about developments on the matter.
Earlier on Wednesday, Bulgarian online and broadcast media announced that the Dutch government would block a discussion of the Schengen bids of Bulgaria and Romania at the Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) Council in March 2013.

If Bulgaria and Romania are allowed to join the Schengen zone, it will create a land bridge for all the illegal immigrants in Greece to invade western Europe. So although the conditions have largely been met, the vested interests of the other EU countries will prevent it happening for as long as possible.
They won't admit to this of course, they will just come up with a raft of petty excuses why it can't happen yet.
