- The role that library staff play in managing patron privacy has evolved because the tools we use to serve our patrons have changed: we contract out to third-party services such as eBook vendors and cloud-based Integrated Library Systems that may not have the same commitment to patron privacy as libraries. The presenters encourage librarians to be aware of the policies embedded in vendor licensees that allow them to collect and share patron data.
- Teaching digital literacy has become a core library service, whether in a formalized setting or one-on-one. The next step is helping patrons understand the implications of what Robinson calls "commercial surveillance," or the collection of user data by commercial companies for a profit, often under the guise of providing more convenient and seamless online experiences, such as using your Facebook login to sign-up to a new online service instead of creating a separate username or password. While not intrinsically bad, it is, as Robinson argues, important for librarians to be knowledgeable in this area in order to help patrons become aware and ultimately decide for themselves what data they want to disclose.

Are your patrons playing Pokémon GO?
Does this sound confusing? This introduction from The Week is very helpful: A Pokémon Go explainer for those who have no idea what is going on.
Why Pokémon Go and The Library is a perfect partnership from the ALSC Blog provides a great explanation of why libraries should care about Pokémon GO:
Pokémon GO is a great social game and getting people out and moving! In order to find Pokémon, you have to walk around and visit various places in your community. You also need to stock up on supplies, which you can do at Pokéstops, which many libraries are. Some libraries are even lucky enough to be a gym, which means even more people coming through your doors as these are places everyone is after! This is where you can battle Pokémon and gain more points.
The article Pokémon GO: What Do Librarians Need To Know? from School Library Journal provides some more detail about ways to capitalize on the interest in visiting the library. It also mentions the significant privacy concerns for iOS (Apple) users. Here's an excerpt:
…libraries are designing programs around the game. The Skokie Public Library in Skokie, IL, happens to be a Poké Gym and has already scheduled Pokémon GO Safaris for K–5 patrons. At these hour-long programs, two staff members will take kids (and the caregiversof kids K–2) to local Poké Stops where they can collect items and learn about neighborhood landmarks. The program will end at the library's Poké Gym, where kids can battle one another. A key component of each session will be an introduction covering physical safety and rules as well as digital safety.
The Pokémon GO app has already reached 15 million downloads. How will your library support Pokémon GO players?
Here are a few Texas libraries that have posted about it on social media:
- Frisco Public Library on Instagram
- McAllen Public Library on Twitter
- Wolfforth Public Library on Instagram

The Value of Data-Centric Security (GovLoop)
As sensitive information continues to increase in volume, so do potential threats. Government organizations must be on guard for data breaches by taking measures to protect valuable data before an incident occurs. This year, the President implemented a Cybersecurity National Action Plan (CNAP) calling for agencies to take a multi-layered data protection approach. While protection at the network level remains essential, adding protection at the data and document level is critical to achieving in depth defense. Join us to learn how data-centric security can help protect your high value documents and digital assets.
Time: 1-2:00 p.m.

Virtual Conference on Data Literacy: Creating Data Literate Students (4TDL)
We are delighted to announce a new satellite of the 4T Virtual Conference: the 4T Virtual Conference on Data Literacy (4TDL)! Students encounter data and statistics everywhere — at work, home, online, and at school. But do they know what those statistics mean, how they were gathered, and with what criteria? We propose that data literacy is a new frontier in reading comprehension and citizenship. This free online will bring together high school educators, librarians (who are also educators, of course!), and others interested in how we can build the data and statistical literacy capacity of high school students.
Time: 8-3:15 p.m.

Followed the recipe except added a whole can of black-eyed peas. Thought it had a really nice flavor, but that the tomatoes were a bit mushy for our tastes, so perhaps will add them later next time. As leftovers, I sprinkled feta cheese over and thought it really punched it up a notch. Will definitely make again. Thank you!

Organic Farmers Condemn US Report ...what do you think?
I agree with the organic farmers.
This is a horrible, man-made situation. AMEN to the Organic farmers.
We've been thinking about moving back to Europe where GMO's are labeled!
Yes, GG - the Europeans realized sometime ago that GMO products are not something they wish to consume. At least, not without it.
There's a lot on the web about S�ralini's rat experiment. The GMO interests are jumping all over him, and they've managed to co-opt a good part of the European science groups as well because so many of those involved have some ties to GMO-producing companies.
It was such a shame that Prop 37 got defeated.
It was such a shame that Prop 37 got defeated.
Yes, it made me very sad.
Washington groups are collaborating to pass a ballot initiative (I-522) that would require all genetically engineered foods sold in Washington to be labeled as such.

This paper presents a detailed description of design and simulation of a self-excited all-air-core and fabrication of a separate-excited all-iron-core compensated pulsed alternators (compulsator), also including the similarity and difference in configuration and principle of two prototypes. Presented are fabrication techniques, assembly processes and design methods developed specifically for pulsed power generators, including the carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite material usage of stator and rotor core in all-air-core compulsator, and the armature and field winding fabrication techniques and conglutination processes in all-iron-core compulsator. The armature winding is wound concentric winding by flat copper bars, the end-turn superposition problem solved by heating the flat copper bar to soften them for taking shape. Designs of a lightweight self-excited all-air-core rotating-field passive compulsator and a separate-excited all-iron-core compulsator for comparison have been completed. They all have rotating-field, two-phase, four-pole, and slotless armature winding and passive compensation. The heart of the self-excited all-air-core passive compulsator is carbon fiber rein-forced epoxy resin composite rotor which rotates at 10000 rpm or more, and that epoxy composite resin stator reduces the saturation of the compulsator, which consequently reduces transient inductance of armature winding and increasing the magnitude of pulsed current. The usage of composite material also reduces the mass of the all-air-core compulsator and increases the velocity of the rotor and inertial energy storage, therefore increasing the energy density and power density. Another feature of the all-air-core PCPA is the use of two armature windings on the stator, which allows optimization of each armature winding to its specific duty cycle. Control of self-excited process is presented as well as the synchronous control of solid-state switch in excitation circuit and discharge main- - circuit by the special controller. The paper presents the simulation of magnetic field at no-load and discharge instance respectively. The paper analyzes the impact of the thickness of compensation shield to the performance of compulsator. Finally, the experiment schematic of all-air-core compulsator system is presented.

Acclaimed Canadian tenor Ben Heppner was back in fine form Tuesday night, returning to the stage to star in Peter Grimes after having withdrawn from the opera's opening night performance in Toronto on the weekend.
B.C.-born Heppner plays the lead role in the Canadian Opera Company's new production of the Benjamin Britten opera, which revolves around the titular man, a rough, outcast fisherman who is met with suspicion after the death of his young apprentice.
"It's definitely Peter Grimes versus everybody. In a way, he's a bit of an antihero. He's not really likable," Heppner told CBC News in an interview earlier this year.
The tenor added that he really enjoys performing the multifaceted 20th century tale.
"It's my wife's favourite opera because of the drama that it contains," he said. "I like the story. I get to allow myself not to be liked. Not everybody can do that."
On Friday, the COC issued a brief note stating that Heppner would be replaced by American tenor Anthony Dean Griffey for Saturday's opening night show. Griffey, who subsequently earned rave reviews, arrived just hours before the opera's dress rehearsal.
Heppner will continue with the COC's Peter Grimes, which alternates with with the company's La Bohème through October at Toronto's Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts.
In the attached video, Heppner talks about taking the lead in Peter Grimes.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
In a worldwide license agreement and an immuno-oncology antibody collaboration, Tesaro is picking up the rights to monospecific antibody drug candidates from AnaptysBio targeting TIM-3, LAG-3 and PD-1 and dual-reactive antibody drug candidates targeting PD-1/TIM-3 and PD-1/LAG-3. Tesaro says it will be using the antibodies selected from these platforms to develop novel monotherapy and combination-based approaches with immuno-oncology and other anticancer agents for a range of indications.
Tesaro is paying AnaptysBio an upfront license fee of $17 million and also paying for costs incurred by AnaptysBio related to the development programs. AnaptysBio is eligible to receive milestone payments of $18 million for each of those programs linked to specific R&D events; it could also receive an additional $90 million linked to certain U.S. and ex-U.S. regulatory submissions and approvals for multiple indications. AnaptysBio could also get tiered single-digit royalties related to worldwide net sales of products developed under the collaboration and commercial milestone payments if specified levels of annual worldwide net sales are attained.
PD-1, TIM-3, and LAG-3, according to the firms, are all checkpoint regulators that modulate the function of the immune system via different mechanisms, and could limit the ability of the immune system to respond effectively to tumors. PD-1 (programmed death-1) is an immune checkpoint molecule that can limit T-cell-mediated immune responses. TIM-3 (T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3) functions as a pattern recognition receptor that dampens the antitumor immune response. LAG-3 (lymphocyte activation gene-3) is a negative regulator of T-cell activity.
AnaptysBio and Tesaro will be completing preclinical development of the antibody candidates together, but Tesaro alone will be responsible for all clinical development, manufacturing, regulatory, and commercial activities. The firms expect the candidates from these programs to enter clinical trials over the next 18 to 24 months.
"These antibody candidates are being developed to address some of the most validated and promising targets in immuno-oncology," Tesaro's president Mary Lynne Hedley, Ph.D., said in a statement. "We are also interested in evaluating combinations of these antibodies with TSR-011, our ALK/TRK inhibitor, and niraparib, our PARP inhibitor, in addition to other antitumor agents with complementary mechanisms, such as immune-modulating agents."

Man arrested after
found in empty plant
A man apprehended in the former Parthenon Steel plant July 16 after a burglar alarm was activated was charged with third-degree burglary, a Class D felony, and possession of burglary tools, a Class A misdemeanor.
The incident occurred at 10 p.m. at the plant, located at 252 Jay Louden Road, according to a report filed by Carroll County Deputy Sheriff Jim Hamilton.
Hamilton assisted Carrollton Police Officer Bob Stamper and buidling caretaker Robert Boyd, who responded to the alarm. Upon arrival, the men searched the building and found the south door broken open. Cobb allegedly was found inside the building with a juvenile who was carrying a backpack containing bolt cutters and a screwdriver.
Cobb was arraigned July 17 in District Court; bond was set at $5,000 cash.
In a preliminary hearing July 24, public advocate Bridgette Saunders argued that her client was guilty of "at most a criminal trespass charge" rather than a felony, because there was no evidence he was there to steal anything. She said nothing at the site apparently had been cut with the bolt cutters, and Cobb was not in possession of anything that might have been taken from the building at the time of his arrest.
Judge Thomas Funk disagreed and transferred the case to the Carroll County grand jury.
Briley arrested after
driving without license
Acting on a tip, Carrollton Police Officer Daniel Embry stopped and arrested a
Carrollton man July 16 for operating a vehicle with a suspended or revoked drivers license.
James A. Briley, 38, allegedly was driving a red 1993 Mercury Villager belonging to his girlfriend, Nicole Ketterer, when he was stopped. Embry searched the vehicle and reportedly found an Interarms 22 model 62 SA rifle behind the passenger seat. The weapon allegedly was found in a white clothes basket draped with a blanket.
Embry reported that the basket also contained a belt buckle in the shape of a handgun and a silver hunting knife with a 12-inch blade and a broken handle was allegedly found under the driver's seat. Embry reportedly found two black knives – one with a 2-foot blade and one with a 3-foot blade – under the passenger seat. Burglary tools also allegedly were found in the vehicle.
The items reportedly matched the description of items reported stolen earlier that day by James Montgomery of Carrollton.
In addition to the suspended-license offense, Briley was charged with receiving stolen property (firearms) and possession of burglary tools, both Class A misdemeanors, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and receiving stolen property valued under $300, both Class D felonies. Willhoite said Briley was convicted of a felony in Oklahoma.
Briley was lodged in the Carroll County Detention Center on a $5,000 cash bond.
No charges have been filed against Ketterer, Willhoite said.

Beowulf: The Fight at Finnsburhby Kevin Crossley-Holland
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Beowulf is the longest and finest literary work to have come down to us from Anglo-Saxon times, and one of the world's greatest epic poems. Set in the half-legendary, half historical Scandinavian past, it tells the story of the hero Beowulf, who comes to the aid of the Danish king Hrothgar by killing first the terrifying, demonic monster Grendel, and then Grendel's infuriated and vengeful mother. A lifetime later, Beowulf's own kingdom, Geatland, is threatened by a fiery dragon; Beowulf heroically takes on this challenge, but himself dies killing the dragon. The poem celebrates the virtues of the heroic life, but Hrothgar and Beowulf are beacons of wisdom and courage in a dark world of feuds, violence and uncertainty, and Beowulf's selfless heroism is set against a background of ruthless power struggles, fratricide and tyranny. This acclaimed translation is complemented by a critical introduction and substantial editorial apparatus. 'The poem has at last found its translator . . .supremely well done' Charles Causley ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

• Wild Roots: A Forager's Guide to the Edible and Medicinal Roots, Tubers, Corms, and Rhizomes of North America
• Doug Elliott
• Healing Arts Press, One Park
• St., Rochester, VT 05767,
• 1995. Paperbound, 128 pages
Storyteller, herbalist, basket maker, artist, and wild-edibles expert Doug Elliott has brought all of his talents together in Wild Roots: A Forager's Guide to the Edible and Medicinal Roots, Tubers, Corms, and Rhizomes of North America. The book is a reprint of Roots—An Underground Forager's Guide, published in 1976 by Chatham Press and a classic from the early years of the modern herbal renaissance. It is gratifying to see it back in print despite a lack of updating, as evidenced by the dated bibliography. The book stands on its original merits and retains its charm and usefulness.
Elliott clearly loves his roots; he finds them, draws them, chews them, dissects them. He defines the differences among roots, rhizomes, corms, and tubers, yet it's on their similarity of function that he focuses. His approach is quite anthropomorphic: roots are digestive tracts and brains, scavengers in pursuit of the health and well-being of their assigned plant, becoming both the pantries and guardians for their specific organisms.
As luck would have it, many roots benefit human health, and Elliott has eased the task of locating and identifying them. He divides rootdom into three primary areas of study: twenty-eight shade-loving plants, twenty-three sun-worshipping plants, and nine water-rooted aquatics. His experience in the woods and marshes from New England to West Virginia, digging a little deeper than the average gardener or amateur botanist, has produced a good foundation of information about a broad range of common herbs such as ginseng, garlic, and echinacea as well as lesser-known plants such as Solomon's-seal and false Solomon's-seal.
While we root around, it is ever so much more fun to know what we're looking for, why we're looking for it, and how we're going to get it out of the ground. Wild Roots explains what these rugged, tentacled anchors look like, where they hide, different ways to cook and enjoy them, and what effect they may have on our skin, lungs, blood, or liver. Elliott takes us to the garden shed to point out the proper tool for digging out each root so that we're not caught with a pocketknife when we need a trowel or a spade when we need a posthole digger.
Included with scholarly and practical insights are fascinating anecdotes, such as that of Therese Newmann of Konnersreuth, Germany, who supposedly lived nearly forty years without eating, subsisting merely on directly absorbed energy, light. In other words, this book is not just another "underground" publication.

There were two armed robberies in the Springs overnight, and in one case it was the second time the same store was hit in 48 hours.
Three men held up the Loaf and Jug store at 4770 Drennan about 12:30 a.m.
Police say the men went behind the counter and one of them ordered the clerk at gunpoint to open the cash drawer. The two other suspects took cartons of cigarettes and cigars.
The clerk wasn't hurt. The suspects ran through an open field and got away.
The first suspect is described as a light skin black male, 25-30 years old,5'7", 210lbs all black clothing, black nylon skull cap. Long hair braided into two separate pony tails.
The second suspect is a black male, medium build, 5'7", 165lbs, all black clothing, large puffy black jacket, wearing red gloves, and red color ski mask which covered only the suspect's mouth and nose.
The third suspect is described as a black male 5'10", 160lbs, skinny build, all black clothing and black jacket.
The second robbery was at the 7-11 at 3740 Randall Drive just before 2:45 am.
Police say three suspects came in and demanded money.
The clerk was not injured. The suspects got away on foot with money and cigarettes.
The first suspect in this robbery is described as a dark skinned black male in his mid to late 20's, about six foot tall with a "pudgy build". He was armed with a silver handgun. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants and a black bandanna.
The second Suspect is described as a dark skinned black male about six foot tall with a thin build wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt with a dark bandanna over his face.
The third suspect is described as a black male in his mid twenties, six foot tall with a dark hooded sweatshirt and a dark bandanna over his face.
These are the latest in a series of armed robberies in the Springs committed by suspects with similar descriptions. If you have any information about any of the suspects, please call Crime Stoppers at 634-7867.

Titan Medical Inc. Announces Public Financing
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 7, 2014) -
Titan Medical Inc. ("Titan" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TMD)(OTCQX:TITXF) has announced that it has entered into an agreement with Dundee Securities Ltd. (the "Agent") under which the Agent has agreed to offer for sale on an overnight marketed "best efforts" basis (the "Offering") units of the Company (the "Units"), each Unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, details of which will be determined in the context of the market. In connection with the Offering, BayFront Capital Partners Ltd. has been appointed as a selling group member.
The Offering is scheduled to close on or about April 23, 2014. The Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, receipt of all regulatory approvals. The Units will be qualified for sale by way of a prospectus supplement (to the Company's short form base shelf prospectus dated October 15, 2012), which will be filed in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.
In connection with the Offering, the Agent will receive a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering and that number of non-transferable broker warrants equal to 6.0% of the number of Units sold. Each broker warrant will be exercisable into one Unit of the Company for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering at a price equal to the Offering price.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for ongoing development and commercialization of robotic surgery technologies and general working capital requirements.
The Securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the Securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
A little disappointing to hear about a new offering after a recent offering in February here in the US. Guess these stocks are for Canadians only. You may see a dip in the price tomorrow but I believe the cat is out of the bag. Most shareholders here are informed and are either in the medical field or heard about this company from a friend or family in the medical community. A majority have been following this company for some time. I have personally been through at least three share offerings so nothing new to me. Not sure anyone is going to risk selling shares at this price point. When Titan mentions the completion of tissue testing and onwards to human testing, the pps is going to jump. $2.39 per share will be a distant price in the past.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
My guess is that a lot of warrant holders are not exercising at these prices, and are holding to sell at a much higher price and company decided to get all the money requirements out of the way at this point which to me is a sign they are moving forward faster than was contemplated a few months ago. The company is debt free and has a good cash position but it also costs money to bring SPORT to FDA approval and mass production. Titan is now one step closer to FDA approval after this placement.

2013-14 Public/Private
The Conversations on Morality, Politics, and Society (COMPAS) program for 2013/14 focused on the distinction between Public and Private. This theme connects a wide range of pressing policy questions and fundamental scholarly problems across seemingly disparate domains. Movements for social justice often press their cases by arguing that supposedly personal matters are in fact political and that the structure of public spaces often limits private choice, thereby reducing the impact of individual responsibility. Conversely, governments have experimented with privatizing a variety of previously public functions and services such as prisons, roads, schools, and the military. Developments in information technology, genetics, and neuroscience raise new moral, legal, and practical questions about personal privacy. And the ubiquity of internet use and social media have changed the way we conduct our personal and social lives in respects that invite reflection on the distinction between public and private activity. Thus, in addition to being a matter of enduring political and academic interest, the way in which societies define issues as public or private has important implications for the fundamental ethical question of how to live a good human life. Our year-long program explored the many facets of these complex and critical issues and mobilized Ohio State's multiple disciplinary perspectives and diverse resources to promote informed, civil discussion of the ever-shifting relationship between the public and the private.

Storytelling for Grantseekers: A Guide to Creative Nonprofit Fundraising / Edition 2by Cheryl A. Clarke

Pub. Date: 01/20/2009

Grantwriters often have little or no training in the practical task of grantseeking. Many feel intimidated by the act of writing, and some don't enjoy writing.

Grantwriters often have little or no training in the practical task of grantseeking. Many feel intimidated by the act of writing, and some don't enjoy writing. In Storytelling for Grantseekers, Second Edition, Cheryl Clarke presents an organic approach to grantseeking, one that views the process through the lens of the pleasures and rewards of crafting a good story. Grantseekers who approach the process as one in which they are connecting with an audience (grantmakers) and writing a narrative (complete with settings, characters, antagonists and resolutions) find greater success with funders. The writing process becomes a rewarding way to tell the organization's tale, rather than a chore, and their passion and creativity lead to winning proposals.
This book walks readers through all the main phases of the proposal, highlighting the creative elements that link components to each other and unify the entire proposal. The book contains resources on crafting an effective synopsis, overcoming grantwriter's block, packaging the story, and the best ways to approach the "short stories" (inquiry and cover letters) that support the larger proposal.
Clarke also stresses the need to see proposal-writing as part of a larger grantseeking effort, one that emphasizes preparation, working with the entire development staff, and maintaining good relations with funders. In Storytelling for Grantseekers, new and experienced grantseekers alike will discover how to write and support successful proposals with humor and passion.
New edition features:
- Overall updates as well as both refreshed and new examples
- Workshop exercises for using the storytelling approach
- New chapters on the application of the storytelling method to other fundraising communications like appeal letters and case statements, as well as the importance of site visits
- Example of a full narrative proposal
