Body Slam In Mixed Wrestling
Wrestling being a popular sport is practiced at all levels. As from Olympics to junior school level, everywhere one can find wrestling contests with ever-excited fans as well as religiously devoted participants. Nowadays, women are jumping in the rings brawling alongside the men.
At different levels, wrestling has various rules as in accordance with the participant's capability as well as capacity. School level wrestling is different from the college level wrestling in many aspects and in same mode the later varied from the state level or other tournaments.
At school level matches, the length of 3 periods in a match is usually of 2 minutes each. While in some cases i.e. at junior varsity this duration can even be only of 1 minute or 30 seconds. Riding Time concept is also not present at the school level.
The weight classes for school level are 14 in number. Weight class for the wrestler is determined based on his weight, which should either, be less, or equal to the specific weight in order to belong to that class. However, many times a few pound allowances are allowed which let certain elasticity in the weight class. The weight classes start from the 103 pounds and ends on 215 pounds. One more class is the Heavyweight class that has 275 pounds weight limit.
These tournaments are generally sponsored by the school administration. Sometimes little fees being charged as to cover the operating costs of these tournaments: Weigh Ins are there, to determine the weigh class of each wrestler and participant focus especially on this area as to play under which weight category.
Each area or state have some recognized tournaments or featured competitions in order to promote new talent. Usually these are having participation through invitation only. The best talent from different schools is invited to compete against each other and these tournaments can last from three to 4 days or more. The winners of these tournaments then can get chances at high levels to prove their talent.
Dual matches i.e. the matches between two high schools are also carried out so as to widen the experience of players. Under this type, the matches are carried out in order of increasing weight class i.e. the top rated players in 103 pounds category will compete first and then followed by the next weight category. These tournaments are scored on the basis of all 14 matches, one match for one category and then are scored on specific criteria, which, results in the winning of one school.
School level tournaments are of most importance as where on one side they helps to find new talent, on the other side they help in the channeling of young energy towards the productive aim. In addition, the youngsters can have a professional training as helping them to utilize their full energy and to have a good career.
However, besides school level one should work through other means as to sharpen his skills. At times, the player cannot get the sufficient chance to prove his talent in school tournaments then one should participate in other competitions as to better his skills.
Wrestling is a sport that demands dedication as well as time. Therefore, training from early age is a necessity. Also in this sport one reaches age of retirement very fast as it includes heavy physical and mental pressure encounters. In time, training not only can result in bright career but can also be a medium of inspiration for the others.
In fact, many school year wrestlers often join in the WWE, WWF, AWA, NWA; etc matches, i.e. the World Wrestling Entertainment, World Wrestling Federations, etc

Program Licensure
Department of Social Services
Commonwealth of Virginia
The Commonwealth of Virginia helps assure parents that child day programs with responsibility for the supervision, protection, and well-being of a child for any part of a 24-hour day are safe. Title 63.1, Chapter 10 of the Code of Virginia gives the Department of Social Services authority for licensure. Licensed programs include child day centers, family day homes, child day care systems, and family day care systems. The state may also voluntarily register family day homes not required to be licensed.
Standards for Licensed Child Day Centers set standards for health precautions, adequate play space, ratio of children to staff, equipment, program and record keeping. Criminal record checks and specific qualifications for staff and most volunteers working directly with children are also required. Standards require the facility to meet applicable fire, health, and building codes.
Compliance with standards is determined by unannounced visits to the program by licensing staff within the Department of Social Services. In addition, parents or other individuals may register a complaint about a program which will be investigated if it violates a standard.
Licenses may be issued to programs. Conditional licenses may be issued to a new program and allow up to six months for the program to demonstrate compliance with the standards. A regular License is issued when the program substantially meets the standards for licensure. A provisional license, which cannot exceed six months, is issued when the program is temporarily unable to comply with the standards.
Operating without a license when required constitutes a misdemeanor, which, upon conviction, can be punishable by fine of up to $100 or imprisonment of up to 12 months or both for each day's violation.
For additional information about the licensing of child day programs or to register a complaint, contact the Regional Office of Social Services:

It is probable dear reader when your eyes shall fall upon these lines, that the year 1880 will have passed away, and the new-year have been ushered in. It is certain we have lived through the year that's passed, but whether we shall live through the one now dawning upon us, is very uncertain indeed. Nor does it matter whether we be old or young, it is still uncertain; true there are less chances, so to speak, for the old than the young, but neither, have any certain hold upon time, whether young, strong, useful, happy and prosperous, or old, feeble, useless and wretched: death is no respecter of such conditions, but scythe-like, cuts down in its swath the full corn in the ear with the empty stalk and thistle; the tares and the wheat fall alike before the remorseless blade of death. So the last vestige of humanity shall be reaped at last. Death is our certain end.
With some of us, the past year has been fruitful of trials, losses and sorrows; and it has perhaps been more or less so with all the children of God in the flesh; those only of them perhaps have escaped wholly, who have gone to their long home, and "been clothed upon with their house which is from heaven." Nor may we expect the present year to differ materially from the years gone by. We shall have tribulation. Be our earthly or spiritual condition as it may; though like Esther we be in high position, in either respect, be even in the king's palace, we shall not there escape more than all the Jews, more than the poorest of the captivity. Though we may not hunger and be straitened for bread to eat, as some may be, yet in some way, we shall have its equivalent. The Lord will teach us and impress it upon our minds that we shall have tribulation as long as we live in the flesh, and thus arm us to endure it with patience; thus he checks our worldly ardor that we may be sober and temper ate in all things, natural and spiritual, setting our affections on heavenly things, and laboring for that meat that endureth unto everlasting life. There are trials and sorrows of the past year that we would not have had if our wills had been consulted. With the writer it has been to some extent as it was with Jehosaphat, when the Moabite and Edomites combined against him to drive him from the promises God had given him; so there has been a combination against us, of natural and spiritual trials invading the very land itself in armed force, a force against which we had no might nor power. The providential night had set in; "the sun knoweth his going down; thou makest darkness and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth." Psa. 104. It is night when these wild beasts, these unclean, fierce, unholy passions and earthly desires seem to creep out of our hearts and our iniquities prevail against us, and we cry out for a token of good, and are shown our iniquities; and not until the sun ariseth do these beasts gather themselves together and lay them down in their dens, Psa. 104, and man goeth forth unto his work until the evening. And natural trials in the loss of children; the snapping the heart strings, when a manly son, robust in physical and mental strength and beauty, full of great promises, falls after weeks of intense struggle before the scyth of death, as if but the veriest tare of the field. Then we look up and we look down and stare with blank eyes into the insoluble mystery with our hands pressed upon our lips lest there escape an imprecation against heaven.
The old year has passed away, but its memories remain with us, whether of good or evil; we are thus so linked with it that it shall, never wholly escape us; and are thus ever admonished that our peace requires a profitable use of the present; to do what our hands find to do with our might; to work while it is day for the night cometh. Our brethren that have died during the past year and yeas yet live in our memories, and we look forward to the reunion that shall be eternal. Our children that have died live also; we see them as they played at our feet, leaned upon our bosom and lay in our arms; see the smile upon their faces, the tear upon their cheeks, and alas! the bitterest sight of all, see them wrapped in the mantle of death. I see even as I write, my father and my mother, and the noble son who but recently died, the fifth boy now beckoning me and his poor mother away. But they are now all with the past; and we shall not see them this year as they were, nor as they are, unless we too shall meet them in a glorified humanity. So we shall go on, and like Jacob, wrestle all the night whether it be one year or a hundred, till the dawn breaketh and the shadows of time flee away, and in the light of eternity and face to face, we shall see him as he is, and know him as we are known. Then there shall be no more years, and no more night and tribulation and sorrow.
Bro. Durand asks if our son who recently died was the one named after him. No, dear brother; it was our oldest son, James Nathan Respess. He died on the morning of the 9 of December 1880, after an illness of 49 days, with Typhoid fever He was in his 25th year and expected to have married in February next. He was a noble specimen of physical manhood, weighing one hundred and sixty-five pounds. He was educated at the University of Georgia and expected to have made the law his profession, but at my request, turned his attention to farming. His mother was with him night and day, during his sickness, 20 miles from home. We have, thank God, some reason to believe he was saved. Bless the Lord, 0 my soul and all that is within me, bless and praise his holy name.
He was born the 19th of February, 1856, died 9 of December, 1880.

Here's some news and notes from Tennessee football spring practice #6 (Tuesday, March 25, 2014).
I'll be posting post-practice blogs and interviews on this page throughout spring practice, so please share and tell your friends and co-workers.
Practice 6
This was the first practice back after spring break. Due to the snow flurries (ridiculous for late March,) cold and wind, the team practiced indoors.
The players will certainly be sore from their bodies adjusting to returning to the physicality of UT's practices. This is a good test for the coaches to find out who continued to workout during spring break and who did nothing. Butch Jones, as you might expect was in full throat with a very high level of energy.
We saw 7 periods today. The drills were position and individual drills during our media period, so it was far from the informative situational scrimmage we saw at Neyland Stadium for the last practice.
We saw the defense work on blitzing and coverages. We continue to see Curt Maggitt with his hand down at defensive end working on pass rush formations and technique. He's still a linebacker but they plan to use him as a rush defensive end as well. He's a rare potential playmaker on this defense as we sit today in spring practice. They will rely on him a lot, and need him to be even better than he was two years ago.
Offensively, Marlin Lane was back on the practice field today. He had his left wrist heavily wrapped for protection. He wasn't in a non-contact green jersey. Lane did all the individual drills we saw in our viewing period. He carries the ball with his right hand, so he was able to do many of the drills normally. Butch Jones said after practice that Lane was limited some.
Jalen Hurd continues to catch your eye with his size in pads when you stand close to him, as I had an opportunity to do. He is impressive. Hurd did drop one pass in a RB pass-catching drill, but that hasn't been a regular occurrence to this point.
The quarterbacks all looked very similar. We didn't see the best drills for anyone to separate from the others. The QBs worked a lot on getting rid of the football on a screen pass with pressure in their face, and throwing above the rusher with accuracy. This may have been the most interesting drill I saw today.
Butch Jones was zeroed-in on the QBs a lot today. In fact, after practice he talked about spending extra time evaluating the quarterbacks. "I did. I sat in on all the quarterback meetings today. I liked their note taking, I checked all their notes, and I liked that process. We are going to be patient; we are going to find out who we can win with. It is a long process, with spring football, summer and then into August and we are going to do our due diligence every day. But I did like the mentality of that group today and I liked their approach on Monday as well."
I will say this, besides having the strongest arm; Riley Ferguson has the quickest release of any of the quarterbacks. He gets rid of the ball quick, which is huge for a QB.
One player that looked sharp and explosive today in route running and contact drills was true freshman wide receiver Josh Malone. Butch Jones made a point to single out Malone for his impressive practice. He said Malone is playing fast, and is really starting to play with confidence. He said they're seeing the speed, burst and acceleration that they saw on film when they were recruiting him. The coaches are starting to see that on the practice field now according to Butch Jones.
Here are a few quotes from Vols head football coach Butch Jones after practice. He shared his thoughts on how Tuesday's practice went, how practices have gone to this point and team speed.
Butch Jones
"We spoke prior to spring break that I thought the maturity of our football team would show coming back," said Jones. "Overall I did like our mental approach but also it was very glaring that some individuals are more mature than others. Some individuals prepared more than individuals coming back but I thought it was a very productive practice and probably our most physical practice so far since we've been back."
"I was not pleased with the first five practices especially the scrimmage in terms of our overall style of play in which we're going to play football here at Tennessee but every opportunity is a teaching moment," he said. "Today had many teaching moments. We concluded practice with a live team period and then we graded our position groups on the field if we had loafs and not playing our style."
"Today I did like our approach," he said. "I thought our practice was demanding and we'll continue to demand and demand even more as spring ball progresses."
"Effort, intensity. It starts in the classroom; we talk about the mental effort, the mentality intensity by which it takes by which you approach your meetings, the notes, taking copious notes. Everything that goes into being a great football player."
"Work in progress. We have to get much faster as a defense and as a football program. We are not up to SEC speed. So it starts with recruiting, it starts with being bigger, stronger, faster. You have to play chess; you can't play checkers, you to play chess. It is getting your players in the right spots and if they have value in one regard or another it is trying to extract as much value as you can in your football program."

My 40k/Writing/Review blog - Sons of Corax Full list of my novel, comics, and audio drama reviews - Reviews. New review on 11/8/2013 is for Death of Antagonis by David Annandale.
My current fiction projects - Dharmayoddha, an Indian-mythology inspired urban fantasy set in Mumbai, India; Hammer of Shadows - a Euro-medieval epic fantasy with knights, gladiators and ancient relics; Cloak of Secrecy - a Norse-mythology inspired space opera.
So, how about that new book by John French.
I'm enjoying it, for the most part. Those who are waiting for the meatspace dead tree edition can take heart in the fact that with any luck proofing errors will be yanked out of it by then, because I'm finding more than I really should and I'm a little miffed by them. But if you're not an OCD-crippled pedant, the actual story seems interesting enough, with Ahriman on the run and hiding out from the wrath of those who didn't think the Rubric was a resounding success. Seeing John play around with a whole novel is a lot of fun, and I think he'll be a man to watch.

So far, maybe a word or two without gap between them or the wrong punctuation mark. Nothing earth-shatteringly awful that'll yank you out of the story.

Just finished the story.
It's enjoyable. I liked French's portrayal of Ahriman as a man haunted by the daemons of his past and the consequences of the choices he has made. He constantly struggles against what he perceives as "fate" in the hopes of saving his legion and his brothers.
That's not to say that I didn't have my quibbles. There are a few plot points I felt were handled poorly, and some of the supporting cast felt weak. Perhaps my biggest gripe revolves around some of the "hard choices" characters make; I did not feel that French fully conveyed the necessity of these decisions.
Overall, though, I like the book. If you're looking for more of Ahriman's Wacky Adventures, look no further.
Ahriman: Exile.
I'm reading it right now and I am quite enjoying it. French does visuals and narrative really well, it's very immersive and I am really enjoying the look at Ahriman as he was Post-Rubric. Not at all what I expected and that is how I like it. More thoughts once I finish.

The story is basically Ahriman finding himself. After the Rubric he is a shell of what he once was, destroyed by the knowledge of what he has done to his brothers. He is serving a no-name Chaos Lord Gzrel and the Harrowing warband under a false name. And he is playing second-fiddle to a weak coven of Sorcerers with minor talents at an exaggerated best. That changes when a Thousand Son arrives looking for him, and Ahriman is forced to kill them all. He then takes over the ship Titan Child that was recently hijacked by the warband and allies with a group of 3 Space Marines from a dead chapter that isn't revealed in the book. Their leader, a Librarian named Astreos, is compelled to give an oath of service to Ahriman after he helps them escape.
The story follows Ahriman as he searches for answers as to what is happening, why the members of his Coven are being abducted or killed, and eventually after finding the last member besides himself that has not disappeared, learns that Amon is behind it. Magnus's old equerry was a member of the Coven and according to Ahriman was the hardest to convince. Ahriman narrowly escapes a trap that Amon leaves for him in a space station where Ahriman looks for answers to finding Amon, one of the renegade marines stays behind to cover their escape and another is mentally wounded and emerges as a different man, and then realises that he has no choice but to confront Amon and learn why he is being hunted. But their navigator has been killed and they are forced to raid an Inquisitorial ship and steal theres, and while there Ahriman sees that the ship was a scout ship for data on the Eye of Terror and sees what they saw. The Planet of the Sorcerers was destroyed.
He realises that Amon did it but learns that because of the time distortions in the Warp that it has not occured yet. But it will unless Ahriman stops him. He and his renegades travel to Amon's growing fleet but they are betrayed by Carmenta, the mistress of the Titan Child, when she tires of Ahriman putting her ship at risk. Ahriman is captured by Amon and learns that Amon has given into despair, planning to kill the Thousand Sons to spare them the horrific fate that Ahriman put onto them. Ahriman, after some convincing, shares his knowledge of the Rubric with Amon so that he can undo it. Astreos and the renegades, using a Daemonhost created by the sole survivor of Gzrel's coven, assault Amon's ship, Sycorax, and rescue Ahriman who after journying into his memories and conversing with his brother Ohrmuzd realises that fate is what you make it, decides that he cannot allow Amon to destroy the XVth Legion. He uses his powers to usurp the Rubric Marines aboard the ship and confronts Amon, telling him that he has given into despair and has forgotten hope. The two fight and Ahriman uses the Rubric to turn Amon to dust, and then takes his armour which is Ahriman's signature armor.
He tells his brothers that he is sorry, and that they can now begin again. The epilogue shows that Ahriman has taken control of Amon's warband, has come to terms with what he did and is determined to start over and has forgiven Carmenta, who is now the mistress of the Sycorax, and that Astreos has become Ahriman's apprentice. It also reveals that the Daemonhost that the surviving Sorcerer Maroth bound is more intelligent than it appears, and that it and Maroth are playing a behind the scenes game and wanted all of this to happen. The book ends here.
I don't know what era this story is set in however, but there is a hint that it's very early after the Heresy. Ahriman at one point sees the symbol for the Inquisition and doesn't recognize it.

So the regret is played on pretty heavily through the novel but it's fitting when you consider everything that Ahriman has done and the scope of his failure.

I'm sure it's done perfectly well, I just wouldn't want him to become something of a sop.
The Emperor upholds a teleological scheme for the future of man, unifying and perfecting humanity through the intense application of martial violence, and I will endeavour to uphold it.
Obviously, that wasn't the case, and it rattled him to his core. As such, it is not entirely surprising that a huge part of Exile is Ahriman dealing with his guilt and his own failings. By the end of the book, he has largely come to grips with his choices and is beginning to forge a new path.
Of course, Ahriman is still Ahriman, and we haven't seen the last of his mistakes....

Between the black and the lace, these shoes are ultra sexy. Betsey Johnson makes really comfortable shoes, so the heel doesn't intimidate me in any way.

The mysterious new artist The Weeknd, who popped up on the scene a few months ago with the dark and moody gem "Wicked Games," just unleashed to the world a new song from his upcoming mixtape. The song is called "Rolling Stone" and will be part of his Thursday project, which according to his twitter account is coming soon. The song is another dark and introspective cut from him with very minimal production, led by a beautiful acoustic guitar melody and spare drums throughout. If this is a preview of what's to come, then we definitely can't wait until Thursday.

A pleasant enough mid-sized BBW release that's worth recommending when the higher energy titles are off the shelves.
It's too bad that only one of these plush girls is specifically introduced by name, because they're all worth remembering.
Things start off slow but authentic in what looks like a humble mobile home. A slim fellow with chest hair stubble uses the couch to bang a pudgy brunette with perky tits. Will Ravage and Alex Sao Paulo try to talk about porn with a big-boobed cutie in a breast-exposing teddy before they give up and just fuck her. Then Ravage entertains an equally stacked blonde in an equally revealing corset. After helping her oil her breasts for tanning, he turns her over and lubricates her asshole. Saucy Rain brings the release to a close after she entices Ravage and San Paulo into her home for some bouncy-bouncy on her couch before they start their holiday BBQ.

As we compete in the global market of information providers, librarians can advance by better understanding how corporations conduct business and provide services. According to the principles discussed in The Trusted Advisor (Maister, Green, & Galford, 2000), constituents may value trust more than discipline expertise. Business books often discuss trust building, which is viewed as a necessity for building professional success. Discipline expertise is a valuable commodity, but librarians who fail to build trust with constituents may struggle to engage them. This is a best practices piece that identifies successful trust-building techniques that foster relationships between librarian and constituent. Peer-reviewed manuscript version.

Background and Purpose: Deficits in motor-cognitive dual tasks (eg, walking while talking) are common in individuals with neurologic conditions. This review was conducted to determine the effectiveness of motor-cognitive dual-task training (DTT) compared with usual care on mobility and cognition in individuals with neurologic disorders. Methods: Databases searched were Biosis, CINAHL, ERIC, PsychInfo, EBSCO Psychological & Behavioral, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Knowledge. Eligibility criteria were studies of adults with neurologic disorders that included DTT, and outcomes of gait or balance were included. Fourteen studies met inclusion criteria. Participants were subjects with brain injury, Parkinson disease (PD), and Alzheimer disease (AD). Intervention protocols included cued walking, cognitive tasks paired with gait, balance, and strength training and virtual reality or gaming. Quality of the included trials was evaluated with a standardized rating scale of clinical relevance. Results: Results show that DTT improves single-task gait velocity and stride length in subjects with PD and AD, dual-task gait velocity and stride length in subjects with PD, AD, and brain injury, and may improve balance and cognition in those with PD and AD. The inclusion criteria of the studies reviewed limited the diagnostic groups included. Discussion and Conclusions: While the range of training protocols and outcome assessments in available studies limited comparison of the results across studies motor-cognitive dual-task deficits in individuals with neurologic disorders appears to be amenable to training. Improvement of dual-task ability in individuals with neurologic disorders holds potential for improving gait, balance, and cognition. 2015-07-01T00:00:00Z Fritz, Nora E. Cheek, Fern M.

The authors analyzed results from over 1,500 responses to a version of the Index of Learning Styles (ILS) questionnaire based on the Felder-Silverman Learning Styles model. This model consists of eight dimensions paired on four scales: Active/Reflective; Sensing/Intuitive; Visual/Verbal; and Sequential/Global. In addition to their scores on the ILS questionnaire, respondents were also asked about demographic and professional characteristics. Statistically significant differences in learning style scores were found to exist between librarians with different types of position responsibilities. In particular, for three out of four scales, catalogers have statistically different learning styles than other librarian groups. Recognition of different learning styles and thoughtful integration of appropriate teaching styles may improve workplace interpersonal communication, enhance professional development and staff training, and strengthen teaching. 2015-05-01T00:00:00Z Rinehart, Amanda Sharkey, Jennifer Kahl, Chad Getting emotional about data: The soft side of data management services Rinehart, Amanda http://hdl.handle.net/1811/72406 2015-09-16T06:01:59Z 2015-09-01T00:00:00Z Getting emotional about data: The soft side of data management services Rinehart, Amanda Original article, published by College and Research Libraries News, can be found at: http://crln.acrl.org/content/76/8/437.full 2015-09-01T00:00:00Z Rinehart, Amanda Engaged Librarian Forum Data Case Studies Swanson, Juleah http://hdl.handle.net/1811/70885 2015-07-28T06:05:21Z 2014-09-18T00:00:00Z Engaged Librarian Forum Data Case Studies Swanson, Juleah This work includes five case studies and discussion questions created as a teaching activity for the Engaged Librarian Forum on September 18, 2014 at The Ohio State University Libraries. 2014-09-18T00:00:00Z Swanson, Juleah Just How Open?

University libraries are a natural point of connection for researchers across disciplines since library resources and services enable their work. By building strong partnerships between library faculty/staff and research development professionals (RDPs), both groups are better able to support their common goal of fostering interdisciplinary research collaborations. At The Ohio State University, the University Libraries is creating a Research Commons that leverages campus partnerships to provide support at each stage of the research lifecycle through consultations, education and training, referrals, and showcasing research. Before the opening of a physical space in early 2016, the Research Commons staff has already established partnerships with 14 research support units within the Libraries and across campus. Through their joint efforts, the Research Commons and its partners provided programming for hundreds of researchers from over 60 departments during the Autumn 2014 term. In addition, the Research Commons website acts as a virtual referral point, highlighting these partnerships and expertise across the university. Once the space opens, RDPs will also offer one-on-one consultations and conduct open sessions on assembling interdisciplinary research teams and grant proposals. Showcasing research and providing conference rooms for group meetings, in a centrally-located and discipline-neutral library space, are additional strategies that can make the Research Commons a hub for connection, collaboration, and innovation for Ohio State's researchers and RDPs alike. 2015-04-01T00:00:00Z Sadvari, Joshua The two-for-one workshop: mapping data management services to the research lifecycle Rinehart, Amanda http://hdl.handle.net/1811/68680 2015-04-25T06:02:33Z 2015-04-23T00:00:00Z The two-for-one workshop: mapping data management services to the research lifecycle Rinehart, Amanda Learn how to partner with offices that are adjacent to the library in the research lifecycle to deliver data management workshops. 2015-04-23T00:00:00Z Rinehart, Amanda The Problem with Teaching "the Library" to First Years and How Metacognition Can Help Black, Elizabeth L.

Presentation delivered at the Information Literacy Summit on April 10, 2015 on the Moraine Valley Community College campus in Palos Hills, IL. Despite receiving library instruction in the university survey course, first-year students regularly struggled to find, evaluate and use information needed for success inside and outside the classroom. In response, we drastically revised the "library assignment" to focus on dispositions. We will discuss the challenges facing first-year students, identify misconceptions of what it means to teach the library to this audience, and observe how dispositions, with a focus on metacognition, are incorporated by completing the revised assignment. We will also share results of surveys of students and instructors who used the assignment in fall 2014 and plans for the future. 2015-04-10T00:00:00Z Black, Elizabeth L. Diaz, Karen R.

Mentoring can play a key role in the career development of librarians. Formal mentoring programs are often available for students enrolled in graduate library and information science programs, for early career professionals through a variety of professional associations, and for librarians at the institutions in which they work. The goals of these mentoring programs may vary, and can range from orientation to promotion or retention and even to advancement. Using the 115 Association of Research Libraries (ARL) academic members as a population, this chapter examines the mentoring practices that may be in place at these institutions by closely reading and analyzing the existing mentoring documentation that was available on their Websites. In all, 22 ARL institutions had mentoring documentation available for analysis. The findings indicate that a large majority of the mentoring programs studied have defined orientation and promotion as their main objectives, while far fewer make any mention of advancement or leadership development as their objectives. Further research is recommended to study both formal and informal mentoring opportunities at ARL institutions. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Springs, Gene R.

And what impact working in a predominantly white profession has on people of color working in academic libraries? As people of color and as librarians, we approached the chapter from a place more fundamental, personal, and introspective, looking beyond the recruitment, retention, and diversity initiatives that may have brought us into our roles as academic librarians. As we began to explore the internalized experiences, we learned that people develop their sense of self through the external - society, environment, profession, etc. What we discovered was that identity theory helps to articulate, and begin to understand, the experiences of academic librarians of color. What is most exciting about this chapter are the voices of other academic librarians of color found throughout the text. Their quotes help to illustrate and contextualize the theory, but also offers a compelling and poignant window into the experiences of librarians of color in academia 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Swanson, Juleah Gonzalez-Smith, Isabel Tanaka, Azusa End-user Searching in a Medical School Curriculum: an Evaluated Modular Approach Bradigan, Pamela S.

SETTING: The analysis was done at an academic health sciences library at a major research university. METHOD: A gap analysis was performed, evaluating changes in the first eleven months through analysis of reference transaction and instructional session data. MAIN RESULTS: Substantial increases were seen in the overall number of specialized reference transactions and those conducted by librarians lasting more than thirty minutes. The number of reference transactions overall increased after implementing the new model. Several new small-scale instructional initiatives began, though perhaps not directly related to the new model. CONCLUSION: Traditional reference desk services were eliminated at one academic health sciences library without negative impact on reference and instructional statistics. Eliminating ties to the confines of the physical library due to staffing reference desk hours removed one significant barrier to a more proactive liaison program. 2011-10-01T00:00:00Z Schulte, Stephanie Embedded Academic Librarianship: A Review of the Literature Schulte, Stephanie http://hdl.handle.net/1811/62186 2014-11-12T17:23:43Z 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z Embedded Academic Librarianship: A Review of the Literature Schulte, Stephanie Objectives – The purpose of this review is to examine the development of embedded librarianship, its multiple meanings, and activities in practice. The review will also report on published outcomes and future research needs of embedded librarian programs. Methods – A search of current literature was conducted and summarized searching PubMed, CINAHL, Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts (EBSCO), Academic Search Complete, and ERIC (EBSCO) through August 23, 2012. Articles were selected for inclusion in the review if they reported research findings related to embedded librarianship, if they provided unique case reports about embedded librarian programs, or if they provided substantive editorial comments on the topic. Relevant study findings were assessed for quality and presented in tabular and narrative form. Results – Currently, there is disparity in how embedded librarianship is being defined and used in common practice, ranging from embedding an online component into a single course to full physical and cultural integration into an academic college or business unit of an organization. Activities of embedded librarians include creating course integrated instruction modules for either face-to-face or online courses, providing in depth research assistance to students or faculty, and co-locating within colleges or customer units via office hours for a few hours to all hours per week. Several case reports exist in the recent literature. Few high quality research studies reporting outcomes of librarians or library programs labeled as embedded exist at this point. Some evidence suggests that embedded librarians are effective with regards to student learning of information literacy objectives. Surveys suggest that both students and faculty appreciate embedded librarian services. Conclusion – Most published accounts discuss librarians embedding content and ready access to services in an online course management system. A few notable cases describe the physical and cultural integration of librarians into the library user environs. Future research using valid quantitative methods is needed to explore the impact of large scale, customized, embedded programs. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z Schulte, Stephanie Establishing a New Clinical Informationist Role in an Academic Health Sciences Center Aldrich, Alison Schulte, Stephanie http://hdl.handle.net/1811/62185 2014-11-12T17:26:34Z 2014-04-01T00:00:00Z Establishing a New Clinical Informationist Role in an Academic Health Sciences Center Aldrich, Alison; Schulte, Stephanie The concept of clinical informationists is not new, but has recently been gaining more widespread acceptance across the United States. This article describes the lessons and challenges learned from starting a new clinical informationist service targeted to internal medicine residents in a large academic medical center. Lessons included the need for becoming immersed in evidence-based practice fundamentals; becoming comfortable with the pace, realities, and topics encountered during clinical rounds; and needing organizational commitment to both the evidence-based practice paradigm and clinical informationist role. Challenges included adapting to organizational culture, resident burnout, and perceptions of information overload. 2014-04-01T00:00:00Z Aldrich, Alison Schulte, Stephanie Evidence in Action Rounds: Collaborating With Nursing to Improve Care Schulte, Stephanie Bejciy-Spring, Susan Niese, Jill http://hdl.handle.net/1811/62184 2014-11-12T17:28:21Z 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z Evidence in Action Rounds: Collaborating With Nursing to Improve Care Schulte, Stephanie; Bejciy-Spring, Susan; Niese, Jill Evidence in Action Rounds is a unit-based interactive forum that assists nurses in defining and discussing evidence-based practice and the evidence-based approach to answering questions using frameworks of the Iowa Model, the Johns Hopkins evidence scale, and nursing sensitive indicators. Patient-specific clinical questions are examined and any gaps or opportunities for improving patient care are addressed with the best evidence available. This combination of librarian and nursing expertise works to familiarize staff nurses with evidence-based resources and translate evidence into practice while minimizing time and resource investment of all involved. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z Schulte, Stephanie Bejciy-Spring, Susan Niese, Jill The promise of academic libraries: Turning outward to transform campus communities Kranich, Nancy Lotts, Megan Springs, Gene R. http://hdl.handle.net/1811/62043 2016-06-02T15:03:45Z 2014-04-01T00:00:00Z The promise of academic libraries: Turning outward to transform campus communities Kranich, Nancy; Lotts, Megan; Springs, Gene R. What would it look like if an academic library turned outward and helped transform its campus community? This is the question that several librarians at Rutgers University Libraries asked when we began deploying tools created by the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation to conduct community conversations with the aim of recalibrating our interactions on campus. The conversations have brought together people from across the university to discuss their aspirations and concerns. These conversations serve as a springboard for unleashing new possibilities as academic libraries span boundaries and occupy a more visible, catalytic role on campus. 2014-04-01T00:00:00Z Kranich, Nancy Lotts, Megan Springs, Gene R.

As caretakers, it would seem natural that the university archivist and the university archives have a role in the data curation process. This article addresses the authors' research project to determine the level of involvement of archives and archivists in data curation. The results are contextualized within archival theory and practice, and the authors suggest additional steps that should be taken if the profession is to have a role in data curation. 2014-06-03T00:00:00Z Noonan, Daniel Chute, Tamar Digital Preservation Policy Framework: A Case Study Noonan, Daniel http://hdl.handle.net/1811/62041 2014-11-06T07:02:16Z 2014-07-28T00:00:00Z Digital Preservation Policy Framework: A Case Study Noonan, Daniel The Ohio State University Libraries created an organizational policy for digital preservation, shared here to address the policy development process and its importance to an organization, and to provide an outline of repeatable best practices. By developing and adopting a policy, set of best practices, and standards, a university or library does not need to wait for an out-of-the-box solution, instead taking incremental steps to provide a better digital preservation environment. A successfully crafted and adopted digital preservation policy is a major accomplishment — it is an institution/organization putting a stake in the ground or drawing a line in the sand to say, "Digital preservation is important to us." 2014-07-28T00:00:00Z Noonan, Daniel The Evolution of Library Instruction Delivery in the Chemistry Curriculum Informed by Mixed Assessment Methods Mandernach, Meris A.

As information continues to evolve over time, the information literacy expectations for chemistry students also change. This article examines transformations to an undergraduate chemistry course that focuses on chemical literature and information literacy and is co-taught by a chemistry professor and a chemistry librarian. This article also describes results from assessment of both content knowledge and student perception, and discusses how the assessment was used to inform changes to the course. This type of student assessment and evaluation has not previously been examined in the delivery of required undergraduate chemistry information courses. Since this course has used in-person, online, and blended delivery methods, the article describes what students can learn from online modules, and where they need more intensive classroom instruction. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Mandernach, Meris A.

This study presents a characterization of the degree and mechanism of corrosion inhibition of Zn by vanadate inhibitors. A combination of open circuit potential measurements, anodic and cathodic polarization, and Raman spectroscopy were used to compare corrosion inhibition of Zn exposed to or pre-treated with a dilute ∼pH 6.3 NaVO3+NaCl solution, which likely contained predominantly tetrahedrally coordinated vanadate species, relative to controls. The presence of vanadate caused a decrease in corrosion current density of up to two orders of magnitude due to overall mixed anodic and cathodic inhibition associated with the formation and/or stabilization of adherent surface films. 2014-07-08T00:00:00Z Hurley, Belinda L.

A publisher of a research database controls the search algorithms of its database and, at a minimum, partially controls the indexing metadata attached to journal articles indexed in its database. A publisher of a journal partially controls the indexing metadata attached to articles in that journal. A publisher who publishes both a research database and journals that are indexed in that database has significant control over two major aspects of the discovery process. This allows the possibility for a publisher to introduce a bias into its algorithm that could favor discovery of its own articles. This work looks at search results from three scientific databases and discusses this possible conflict of interest. 2014-04-01T00:00:00Z Hurley, Belinda L.

Objective: This paper presents the results of data gathered on copyright questions asked at an academic health sciences library. Methods: Collected data include questioner's status or discipline, the subject of the questions, the types of activities that the questioners were engaged in, the communication mode, and the length of time it took to answer the questions. Results: Overall results showed most questions were about permissions. Staff asked the most questions, followed by faculty and students. Conclusions: Copyright education is needed at universities, and further analysis of queries will determine the direction of the education. 2014-04-01T00:00:00Z Gilliland, Anne T. Bradigan, Pamela S.

This study presents and analyzes the findings of a 2012 survey of member libraries belonging to the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) on publishers' large journal bundles and compares the results to earlier surveys. The data illuminate five research questions: market penetration, journal bundle construction, collection format shifts, pricing models, and license terms. The structure of the product is still immature, particularly in defining content and developing sustainable pricing models. The typical "bundle" is something less than the full publisher's list. Neither market studies nor market forces have produced a sustainable new strategy for pricing and selling e-journals. Finally, a complex history of managing license terms is revealed in the data. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Strieb, Karla L. Blixrud, Julia C.

Historical health sciences collections are rare and unique materials containing large amounts of information subject to confidentiality and privacy laws and concerns. Formerly, the custodians of these collections handled these issues in relative obscurity, but technological changes and changing laws and norms around health care privacy have made these issues more acute and public. The intent of this Article is to describe the nature of these collections and the qualifications of the people who administer them, and to analyze some of the privacy and confidentiality issues that arise in the course of that work. The aim is to acquaint privacy officers, in-house legal counsel, and other members of the legal profession with the privacy and confidentiality challenges that these collections present, with the needs of researchers who use these collections, and with the reasons why historical health sciences collections are important. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z Gilliland, Anne T.

Murphy, Sarah Anne; Black, Elizabeth L. This study investigated whether library guides embedded in a university's learning management system fulfill their mission to promote library resources and maintain a librarian presence in the online course environment. Specifically, the study examined whether design elements, promotional practices, or other behaviors influenced guide use. It questioned whether students located the library guides and, if so, did students find the guides helpful. Results confirmed that students who used library guides found the guides helpful. Select faculty and librarian behaviors may also influence student use of library guides. Promotion and marketing practices, however, are not the only factors encouraging students to use library guides. 2013-11-01T00:00:00Z Murphy, Sarah Anne Black, Elizabeth L.

One of the more time consuming tasks for researchers is the collection and organization of citations and documents of their sources of information. Many researchers first learned how to manage their citations by recording bibliographic information on index cards, with the actual documents being stored in filing cabinets.While this method is adequate for simple projects, index cards and filing cabinets do present storage and retrieval problems.The use of bibliographic management software can help practitioners find more quickly information that meets their patient care needs. With so many different bibliographic management software packages available, how does one choose which one to use? This video provides one possible strategy. 2013-05-31T00:00:00Z Schnell, Eric H.

During the past decade, the course has been continually modified to reflect both changes in the skills needed by chemistry majors as well as student performance on course assessments. The course transitioned from a class taught predominantly by chemistry faculty to one that is co-taught with librarians. Each class session and assignment is tied to specific learning outcomes from ACRL information literacy standards for the sciences1 and the SLA/CINF information competencies for chemistry undergraduates2. Course assignments include team based learning activities that allow for greater student interaction. Pre-test and post-test information is gathered on content as well as mode of delivery. 2013-07-01T00:00:00Z Mandernach, Meris Exploring the Veterinary Literature: A Bibliometric Methodology for Identifying Interdisciplinary and Collaborative Publications Page, Jessica R.

Veterinary medical research traditionally focuses on animal health and wellness; however, research activities at veterinary colleges extend beyond these traditional areas. In this study, we analyzed eleven years of Web of Knowledge-indexed peer-reviewed articles from researchers at the twenty-eight United States American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) accredited veterinary colleges. We had three goals in assessing the published literature of veterinary college researchers. First, we identified a list of journals and research areas outside of veterinary medicine in which veterinary researchers publish. This list of journals can be customized to identify those most essential at each institution. Second, we identified collaborative work by veterinary researchers across disciplines and institutions. Using textual analysis tools and visualizations helped us illustrate and clarify this data. Lastly, we developed a methodology for defining an interdisciplinary serials list outside a subject core that can be customized for specific institutions and subject areas. 2014-09-01T00:00:00Z Page, Jessica R.

Coach Info:
Taylor, the son of offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone, was promoted to quarterback coach in January of 2013. In the 2012 season, he was a graduate assistant coach for special teams at UCLA. He had been on the staff at Arizona State University prior to coming to Westwood.
During the 2015 season, freshman Josh Rosen, the Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year, eclipsed most of the Bruin school records for true freshmen during a banner year which saw him rank among the top 25 in the nation in completions per game (22nd), passing yards (19th) and passing yards per game, (21st). He rose to third on both the school single season passing and single season completions lists. Rosen also established a new school mark with 245 passing attempts without an interception.
Quarterback Brett Hundley continued to put up big numbers in 2014 under Mazzone's guidance. He established school career records for total offense (11,713) and touchdowns passes (75) while ranking fourth in the NCAA in completion percentage (.691) and 13th in passing efficiency (152.7). Hundley, who was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 2015 NFL Draft, also became the first Bruin to throw for at least 3,000 yards in three different seasons. He finished his career with a school record 19 300-yard total offense games and posted his 10th 300-yard passing game against USC, a total which ranks second on that school list. Hundley leaves UCLA owning five of the school's 10 400-yard total offense performances. No other Bruin had recorded more than two such games.
In 2013, Hundley threw for over 400 yards for the first time in his career (410 v. Cal, third-highest total in school history) and his sum of 428 yards of total offense against Cal ranked fourth on the all-time school list. Hundley also became the first Bruin to ever throw for a touchdown, run for a score and catch a touchdown pass in the same game. The Bruins also racked up a school record 692 yards of total offense in the game against New Mexico State. Hundley was listed among the nation's top-25 in completion % (14th-.668), passing efficiency (20th-152.9), touchdown passes (23rd-24), points responsible for (14th-216), points responsible for per game (18th-16.8) and total offense (23rd-293.8).
Mazzone joined the ASU coaching staff in February of 2010, serving as a quality control coach. In 2011, he became an offensive assistant. In 2011, the Sun Devil offense was ranked 25th in the nation (445.8 yds/g) and 10th in passing offense (316.7 yds/g). Quarterback Brock Osweiler (2nd round selection of the Denver Broncos in 2012 NFL Draft) ranked 11th in the NCAA in total offense (317.4). In 2010, ASU was listed as the No. 15 pass offense in the nation and the No. 29 total offense in the country. Mazzone has also worked with college quarterbacks training for the jump to the NFL such as Tim Tebow, Christian Ponder, Robert Griffin III and Osweiler.
Taylor attended both Ole Miss and East Carolina University where he was a member of the football teams. He spent one season at Mississippi (2005) and then transferred to East Carolina where he played quarterback and on special teams under head coach Skip Holtz. The Pirates went on to play in four bowl games and capture two Conference USA championships. His ECU teams racked up 33 wins as a class.
Mazzone graduated, with honors, from Cardinal Gibbons High School in Raleigh, NC in 2005. He was a member of the football, basketball, baseball and track teams.
Education: Bachelor's in Construction Management, minor in Business, from East Carolina in 2009; At UCLA: Fourth year on staff (joined staff in March of 2012 as graduate asst.; named quarterbacks coach in January of 2013); Born: June 1, 1987 in Ft. Worth, TX.
