Chamber Theatre blossoms again with lighthearted 'Jeeves in Bloom'
Given the miserable spring we've been having, I probably don't need to explain the appeal of a play titled "Jeeves in Bloom," the second of Margaret Raether's three stage adaptations of the P.G. Wodehouse stories and novels featuring Bertie Wooster's ever-capable valet.
Under Tami Workentin's direction, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre produced the first of these light comedies, with Matt Daniels as Jeeves, in 2010. In "Bloom," Workentin again directs and Daniels returns as Jeeves. The remaining characters and actors are all new, as is the setting. »Read Full Article

They delivered our things to my office warehouse but with only one driver! The driver did not have and paperwork with him showing what was to be delivered!
My manager at the office had to help the one driver unload the items into our warehouse for later delivery into my apartment upon my arrival from Glendale,California to Colorado Springs,Colorado.
However my shipment was missing 30 plus boxes and more than 10 pieces of significant furniture. I paid by weight not volume and asked that none of our tables, etc. have the legs removed. They took of all of the legs to the furniture so they could pack as much as possible into the truck for others completely disregarding our agreement.
I made many calls to a Lee Miller who was the sales person and may be one of the owners as well. She stated that the truck broke down in Texas on the way to Colorado and could not make it with all of our things, the rest went back to California and would ship out to us in two weeks. I contacted the scheduled driver to deliver the balance of our shipment and he stated as that he was with a different company Relocation Time that they were contracted to deliver our things but, never did load everything for the first shipment.
Lee Miller lied to us stating that Moving and Storage USA handles the entire move. They are just brokers who farm out your moves! Half of our things never left California. It finally took 5-weeks to receive the rest of our furnishings but, this time boxes had been repacked and gone through..looking for what they could take from us! Items stolen were chairs, cassette tapes, baskets. Furniture again dissassembled, missing bolts and screws to put everything back together!
Relocation Time supposedly contracted by Moving and Storage USA did not give me my list that I had signed showing our items on board. This is illegal, they said that they never received any paperwork from Lee! We paid these people $3114.00 and for what?
To have waited 5 weeks for our things. Have items stolen from us. Damaged property. Treated with the upmost disregard. No returned calls in trying to get our money back from them! Violations of law accross the board from this company..stay clear of them! They are run by Israeli nationals, some I assume are here illegally! They go by their names of Lee Miller, Colby, Ramsey, Issac, Ray-Ray.

I have a new WP site that has an odd problem.
When I upload a JPG file from my Mac, it gets stored in the Media library as a TIFF file.
I've checked using the server's backend and the file name is definitely .tif on the server, whereas it is .jpg on the Mac.
Any ideas of where to start debugging this?

Improve context processor documentation
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
The answer to the common question "How do I make variables globally available to my templates?" is "context processors," which are covered at http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates_python/ . But a new developer looking for an answer to this question will never find it in the docs by searching for "global" or "global variables." The documentation is there, but very difficult to find by searching on terms related to the problem. No new developer will know to search for "context processors."
Once the right section of the documentation is found, under the cryptic title "Subclassing Context: RequestContext," implementing the code samples on that page will only yield exception errors like "global name 'RequestContext' is not defined." Which means absolutely nothing (in terms of the fix) to the new Django developer. The code samples on that page should state that you need to:
from django.template import RequestContext
To promote Django acceptance, make learning the system less painful. Be specific, come up with a tagging system for the documentation to lead new developers to the right spot in the docs, and provide complete implementation details everywhere.

Probably the best approach would be an entry in the FAQ -- context processors aren't just about global variables. But changing the section title might be a good idea, too.

Instead of a FAQ entry, I think we should instead improve the context processor documentation to better explain how and why to use them. The current section:

I would even say that this new/revised context processor documentation should go in its own file, as the template api documentation is already very long.

Santa Cruz: Me and Frampton Could Be Fight of The Year!
World champion Leo Santa Cruz has now adjusted his glare towards rising star Carl Frampton after prevailing in his recent fight. The Mexican sensation who has been blasting his way past all comers in the super-bantamweight division, dominated Cristian Mijares last Saturday night in Las Vegas and now looks to set up a megafight with Ulsterman Frampton.
Both men are renowned for their come-forward, whirlwind boxing style that has captured the imagination of both casual and hardcore fans alike.
The pair seem destined to cross paths in the very near future with Frampton fighting in a WBC eliminator in his next fight in April against Hugo Cazares, with the victor set to get a shot at Santa Cruz's title.
"Carl's been saying he wants to fight me and I've seen him in a couple of fights. He's a great fighter, undefeated, he comes forward like me and throws parallel punches and pressures a lot. So I think it would make a really great fight for the fans," Santa Cruz said.
"If he wins his, it could be the next fight which happens. He's in an eliminator to fight me in his fight, so if our managers can work out something I think it can definitely happen next," he said.
The two-weight world champion and reigning undefeated WBC super-bantamweight world champion, has taken notice of the Belfast blaze Frampton as he has blitzed his way past a host of top line contenders in recent outings.
It is this exciting and crowd-pleasing style which Santa Cruz believes could make for an instant classic when the pair finally square-off in the ring, though he is not expecting it to last the full twelve rounds.
"I come forward; he comes forward, so there will be no running. I think it will be a fight where we are both in the middle of the ring, giving a war and I think neither of us is going to want to go back," he said.
"It could be 'Fight of the Year'. I don't think the fight would go the distance; it could finish before the twelve rounds the way that we will fight.
"I think he [Frampton] comes forward well, and is strong, always pressuring. But I think he drops his hands too much - I think that's one of the mistakes he does. I could catch him or I could work the body and finish him right there," Santa Cruz told BoxNation.
"It doesn't matter to me where I fight him. It's up to wherever my manager and promoter think the best place is. I'll fight him wherever. If they want me to fight him in Ireland, I'll come over and fight him in Ireland. If they want me to fight him here [United States], I'll fight him here. Wherever they make the fight I'm willing to battle him.
"I think the fight is likely for between September-November around those months. After this fight [against Mijares] I'll take a little break and get ready for those months because it's a big fight, so we have to have a little more time to get ready for it.

MD&A is presented in the following sections:
† Business Overview
† Consolidated Results of Operations
† Analysis of Operating Revenue and Income by Segment
† Liquidity and Capital Resources
† Business Outlook
† Other Matters
Description of Business: Matson, Inc., is a holding company incorporated in January 2012 in the State of Hawaii, together with its operating company, MatNav and all of its subsidiaries. MatNav is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Matson, Inc.
Founded in 1882, Matson is a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific. Matson provides a vital lifeline to the island economies of Hawaii, Guam and Micronesia, and operates a premium, expedited service from China to Southern California. The Company's fleet of 17 vessels includes containerships, combination container and roll-on/roll-off ships and custom-designed barges. MLI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MatNav, was established in 1987 and extends the geographic reach of Matson's transportation network throughout the continental U.S. MLI's integrated, asset-light logistics services include rail intermodal, highway brokerage and warehousing.
Ocean Transportation: The ocean transportation segment of Matson's business, which is conducted through MatNav, is an asset-based business that generates revenue primarily through the carriage of containerized freight between various U.S. Pacific Coast, Hawaii, Guam, Micronesia, China and other Pacific island ports.
Also the Company has a 35 percent ownership interest in SSAT through a joint venture between Matson Ventures, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MatNav, and SSA Ventures, Inc, a subsidiary of Carrix, Inc. SSAT provides terminal and stevedoring services to numerous international carriers at six terminal facilities on the U.S. Pacific Coast and to MatNav at several of those facilities. Matson records its share of income in the joint venture in operating expenses within the ocean transportation segment due to the nature of the business.
Logistics: The logistics services segment of Matson's business, which is conducted through MLI, is an asset-light based business that is a provider of domestic and international rail intermodal service, long-haul and regional highway brokerage, specialized hauling, flat-bed and project work, less-than-truckload services, expedited freight services, and warehousing and distribution services. Warehousing, packaging and distribution services are provided by MLW, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MLI.
Separation transaction: On December 1, 2011, the Former Parent Company of MatNav, announced that its Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to pursue the Separation of the Former Parent Company to create two independent, publicly traded companies:
† Matson, a Hawaii-based ocean transportation company serving the U.S. Pacific Coast, Hawaii, Guam, Micronesia and China, and a domestic logistics company; and
† A&B, a Hawaii-based land company with interests in real estate development, commercial real estate and agriculture.
On February 13, 2012, the Former Parent Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to reorganize itself by forming a holding company incorporated in Hawaii, Alexander & Baldwin Holdings, Inc. The holding company structure helped facilitate the Separation through the organization and segregation of the assets of the two businesses. In addition, the holding company reorganization was intended to help preserve the Company's status as a U.S. citizen under certain U.S. maritime and vessel documentation laws (popularly referred to as the Jones Act) by, among other things, limiting the percentage of outstanding shares of common stock in the holding company that may be owned (of record or beneficially) or controlled in the aggregate by non-U.S. citizens (as defined by the Jones Act) to a maximum permitted percentage of 22%.
The Separation was completed June 29, 2012. In the Separation, the shareholders of Holdings received one share of common stock of A&B for every share of Holdings held of record as of the record date, June 18, 2012. Immediately following the Separation, Alexander & Baldwin Holdings, Inc. changed its name to Matson, Inc. For accounting purposes, Matson is the successor company to the Former Parent Company.
Prior to the completion of the Separation, the Company and A&B entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Sharing Agreement and an Employee Matters Agreement, each dated June 8, 2012, that govern the post-Separation relationship. These agreements generally provide that each party is responsible for its respective assets, liabilities and obligations following the Separation, including employee benefits, information technology, insurance and tax-related assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company and A&B entered into a Transition Services Agreement, dated June 29, 2012, under which each company agreed to provide the other with various services on an interim, transitional basis, for up to 24 months.
Also in relation to the Separation, intercompany receivables, payables, loans and other accounts between A&B and Matson, in existence immediately prior to the effective time were satisfied and/or settled; and intercompany agreements and all other arrangements in effect immediately prior to the distribution have been terminated or canceled, subject to certain exceptions.
Matson will incur total cash outflows of $166.2 million in relation to the Separation. The total cash outflows were made up of three components: capital distribution, capitalized debt issuance costs and Separation related expenses referred to as Separation costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
The breakdown of Separation cash outflows are as follows (in millions):
Separation Cash Outflows Capital distribution to A&B(A) $ 155.7 Separation costs 8.6 Capitalized debt financing costs 1.9 Total cash outflow related to the Separation $ 166.2

Of nearly 1,000 name brand sunscreens on the market, only 1 out of 5 provides enough protection, the EWG's Sunscreen Investigation found. The organization compiled a list of the safest sunscreen products available. Here are their top five:
1. Keys Soap Solar Rx Therapeutic Sunblock SPF 30: This nontoxic, all natural, cosmetic sunblock is not recommended for sun bathing, playing sports or swimming. Made for every day use, this product is not waterproof but adds a 16 percent concentration of uncoated nano-zinc oxide to provide UVA-UVB protection. ($26.95)
2. TruKid Sunny Days Natural Mineral Sunscreen Water Resistant Face and Body Stick SPF 30: The ingredients are all certified organic and include beeswax, aloe vera, rosemary, coconut oil and shea butter. ($10)
3. California Baby No Fragrance SPF 30 Sunblock Stick: It contains organic ingredients and is a chemical-, fragrance- and PABA-free product that offers UVA-UVB broad spectrum protection. ($12.99)
4. Badger Broad Spectrum UVA-UVB Protection SPF 30: This contains at least 60 percent certified organic ingredients and is a physical barrier sunscreen that contains more than 20 percent zinc oxide. ($16)
5. Marie Veronique Skin Therapy Sun Serum Duet: A greaseless, anti-oxidant powder blend, this serum is chemical-free and contains 20 percent zinc oxide. ($99)
If none of these products seem like they will work for you, look for sunscreens that have at least 7 percent zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for better protection. Avoid using sunscreens with added bug repellents to keep your skin from absorbing pesticides. Just remember to use a SPF 30 or higher.

The Castle Green – the old Green Hotel. A beautiful old Moroccan-style building from the late 1800s, early 1900s with an interesting history.
Looking East on Waverly Place – near Concept Design Academy.
Nice older lady paying her bill. I should have drawn her dog too. Oh well.
Sometimes they make you wait in the exam room with your animal. Felix (the cat, of course) was getting restless and wanted to jump on the other table with the doctor's things. After several attempts, I let him do it just to see what he'd do. He hid behind the doctor's monitor, thinking he was safe. Silly cat.
I've been walking to work again. We've been having beautiful weather (and we're down to one car now) so it all works out. I've often thought about how odd it is, our family living in car-crazy Southern California, that my wife and I live close enough to our respective workplaces that we can walk, and all three kids have always walked to school (and still do). It's kind of ironic. Since I can't see myself walking to work, this is of course my idea of what I look like walking to work…
The kitten is sleeping on a mailing box on the table while the kid eats Chinese food and plays a game on her iTouch.
We were watching a silly video on my wife's laptop when I looked up and saw all three kids hugging while watching. I had to sketch them. (I still can't believe they're all teenagers now.)

Pair who followed band face drug charges in NJJuly 18,2013FREEHOLD, N.J. — Two men who authorities say followed the band Furthur are facing drug charges in New Jersey.
Police arrested 31-year-old Adam Sacks of Mount Holly, and 21-year-old Kyle Lewis of Catskill, N.Y., after searching their motel room in Tinton Falls.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office says officers found a large quantity of methamphetamine, LSD, marijuana and hashish oil. Police also confiscated more than $51,000, which prosecutors suspect were proceeds of drug sales.
The men had tickets for performances of Furthur at the PNC Arts Center in Holmdel in addition to several other shows by that group that mainly performs Grateful Dead songs.
Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni says he won't tolerate traveling drug dealers who want to follow a band.MORE IN This Just InCASTLETON - Head coach Eric Ramey has announced that the Castleton softball team will once again...

US: Kellogg sales miss Wall St forecasts on domestic weakness
By Hannah Abdulla | 6 February 2014
Kellogg's growth over 2014 has been boosted by the success of Pringles
Kellogg today (6 February) posted higher fourth-quarter profits but saw its shares fall in early trading after its top line missed Wall St forecasts.
The Special K and Pringles maker booked an 8.8% rise in underlying internal operating profit, a company metric that excludes factors like foreign exchange, M&A, mark-to-market accounting and costs linked to the company's Project K restructuring programme.
However, net sales for the quarter to 28 December fell 1.7% to $3.5bn. Fourth-quarter internal net sales dropped 0.9%.
Internal net sales fell in North America as sales of US morning foods and snacks dropped faster than in the third quarter of the year.
The consensus forecast among Wall Street analysts was for Kellogg's net sales to fall 1.2%.
Shares in Kellogg were down 1.81% at $56.33 at 09:55 ET.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2012, Kellogg reported net income of US$818m, versus a loss of $32m. Reported operating income was $1.26bn, compared to $3m a year earlier. Last year, the company incurred a mark-to-market charge after adopting a new method for accounting for pensions.
For the year as a whole, Kellogg's net income almost doubled to $1.81bn. Operating profit was up 81.6% at $2.84bn.
Full-year reported net sales increased by 4.2% to $14.8bn. However, internal net sales inched up 0.3%. US morning foods and snacks sales were down. Revenues from each of Kellogg's international regions were higher.
"Our Pringles business had an excellent year in 2013, although we continue to face challenges in some of our developed cereal businesses," president and CEO John Bryant said.
"Our expectations are that, over time, Project K will begin to provide us the fuel we need to drive growth in our categories, and across our businesses, in the years to come."

And had me wait all this time to a supervisor returned for an decision about my status for returning back to class. To find out that I wasn't able to return back until a year. But they so called are concern about a student education yeah right. They tell you all this misled information have you thinking and assuming one thing when honestly don't really think they have a clue about what they are talking about.
Then after you go off on them about what was said they try to cover it up like that was never said to begin with. And if they are supposed to be working at the university they should have known all the stipulations and details about the process of what is done due to you failing a class, instead of have you thinking that you are soon about to return to class and have to sit out for a whole year. And making you wait for a decision from a supervisor when they already knew I wasn't able to return.

Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak is trying to strike a new, more positive tone in the push for votes in June's provincial election.Hudak debuted a new ad on Newstalk 1010's The Province Sunday.The 35-second video opens with piano music and a view of the Toronto skyline at daybreak. Next come shots of Niagara Falls and of a construction site as Hudak talks about the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs across the province."In my heart, I know that we can do better than this", he says from behind a podium.
While hosting the hour-long radio show, Hudak said he is "tremendously excited" about the opportunity the provincial election campaign presents to take his million jobs plan on the road."We can actually put that plan in front of the people of Ontario to say there is a better way. There is a brighter future, that Ontario's comeback is about to begin."Hudak was asked after the show if his new spirit of optimism is an attempt to squash his opponents' portrayal of him as a kind of cuts-boogeyman or the second coming of former Premier Mike Harris."They've opened up the campaign kind of frantically pointing the fingers at everybody else. I'm pointing my finger at my plan and how we're going to get Ontario back to work."Hudak did spend some time on the air on the offensive, attacking the Liberals' newly-introduced spending plan as one that features "more spending, deeper debt, higher taxes, higher hydro rates."He criticized NDP leader Andrea Horwath for her stance on the budget, though she said she would be voting against it."She likes the budget, the just didn't like the (government) corruption". But Hudak stresses the scandal around gas plant cancellations and deletion of documents tied to them is nothing new. "I guess she just got the clue two and a half days ago."Hudak brushed off questions about whether of the federal Conservatives would be campaigning alongside him. Premier Kathleen Wynne has been hitting hard at the Harper government over pension reform. An Ontario pension reform is part of the Liberal platform. Federal finance minister Joe Oliver said this weekend the party's campaign budget, would put the province on the "route to economic decline.

By Sha Li Zhang, July 8, 2009
My activities as CALA President since January 2009 have continued focusing on the following key strategic areas outlined in the CALA Strategic Plan.
1. Strive for organizational excellence
2009 election
Led by Sally C. Tseng, CALA Honorary Executive Director and the Election Ad Hoc Committee Chair, and the committee members Bin Zhang and Vincci Kwong as CALA experts, CALA conducted a smooth election in spring 2009, despite the system upgrade during the election time. The Committee went through numerous trials and changes before finalizing the online voting platform to ensure complete voting records. With numerous reminders, 236 CALA members or 57 percent cast their votes this year, the highest participatory rate in CALA history.
Improving organizational efficiency
Since January 2009, CALA Board of Directors held four special online meetings in February, April, May, and June 2009 respectively, with the following decisions:
The above-listed special online meetings enabled Board members to make decisions between the ALA Midwinter Meeting and Annual Conference in a timely manner.
CALA web sites
The new CALA web site at http://cala-web.org/ received continual improvements under the leadership of Bin Zhang and Vincci Kwong, co-chairs of the CALA Web Committee which is working on the enhancement with a newly installed server.
Haipeng Li, CALA Executive Director, led a successful fundraising event at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Denver in January 2009 for the second Joint Conference of Librarians of Color (JCLC) to be held in 2012 in Kansas City. Haipeng Li is co-chairing the JCLC 2012 Steering Committee. More work will need to be done toward the conference and more CALA volunteers are needed. The Steering Committee will meet at the ALA Annual Conference to plan these activities.
Communications with CALA members
Ongoing communications with CALA members on important issues were conducted through online meetings, President's regular CALA Updates columns, CALA listserv, CALA Newsletter, conference calls, etc. to keep the membership informed.
NLC's 100th Anniversary celebration
This year is marking the 100th anniversary of the National Library of China (NLC) in Beijing, China. The Library has launched a series of celebration activities since February 2009. CALA leadership sent a congratulatory letter and a gift to NLC to congratulate the Library's leadership role as an intellectual hub in China to collect, organize, preserve, and provide access to recorded knowledge and cultural heritage to millions of citizens in China. Several CALA members, for instance, Dr. Hwa-Wei Lee and Mr. Gary Strong, and the September 2009 Team of the Think Globally, Act Globally, led by Shuyong Jiang, are invited to participate in a celebration event to be held in early September 2009.
2008-2009 CALA Awards recipients
The CALA Awards Committee recommended Professor John Ma as the recipient of the CALA Distinguished Services Award, and Ms. Barbara Ford and Mr. Haipeng Li as the recipients of the CALA President's Recognition Award. Congratulations, Professor Ma, Ms. Ford, and Mr. Li. They are the deserving individuals for the awards this year.

2. Become a leader in global reach initiatives
CALA Seminar Series in 2008-2009
With three successful CALA seminars held in Kunming (July 2008), Wuhan (October 2008), and Taiwan (November 2008), CALA has planned two more seminars in Taiwan (August 2009) and in Shanghai (November 2009), in responding to positive feedbacks and continual requests from the host institutions in China and Taiwan. Since 2006, these seminars have provided CALA members with excellent professional development opportunities to exchange with, share best practices, and learn from their library colleagues in China and Taiwan. Additionally, CALA leadership has signed agreements with Yunnan and Shanxi hosting institutions to conduct the seminars in the coming years.
Participating in the Think Globally, Act Globally grant project
CALA members have enthusiastically responded to the calls and participated in the Think Globally, Act Globally grant project funded by IMLS in U.S. and the Ministry of Culture in China. In 2009, fifteen CALA members were selected to participate in the three continuing education programs in China. The first team successfully completed their assignments in Beijing and Nanjing in May 2009. During the trip, Dr, Hwa-Wei Lee as the Project Evaluator, the team members (Lisa Zhao, Sha Li Zhang as Team Leader, Mengxiong Liu, Robert Fernekes, and Wenwen Zhang), and Susan Schnuer as Co-PI, met with the librarians at the National Library of China, Nanjing Normal University Library, and Nanjing Library, gave the lectures on the topics of public library services, administration, legal issues, and assessment, exchanged ideas, shared the best practices, and visited libraries. It was an excellent learning opportunity for the team members. In July 2009, three CALA chapters (Northeast, Southern California, and Southeast) and two public libraries in Kentucky and Missouri will host a delegation of ten library directors from the provincial libraries in China. The CALA members on these sites will contribute their time, provide hospitality, and work out logistics to make the visits of the delegation a pleasant experience.
Genuine support to the libraries affected by earthquakes
As of June 2009, CALA raised $20,400, the largest fundraising efforts in CALA history, to support the library staff and libraries affected by the massive earthquakes in May 2009 in Sichuan Province and the surrounding regions in China. Led by Sally C. Tseng, CALA Honorary Executive Director, the CALA Taskforce on Rebuilding Libraries in 512 Earthquake Areas in China has closely worked with the Library Society of China (LSC) who has agreed to assist CALA in distributing the CALA funds to the library staff and libraries affected by the earthquakes. In January 2009, LSC officials went to Sichuan Province and distributed the first CALA check of $10,000 in person to 32 library staff who were injured and lost personal properties in the earthquakes, including $2,000 to the family of a killed library staff and $3,000 to cover medical expenses for Ms. Li Chun, Library Director of Beichuan County which was totally destroyed by the earthquakes. Ms. Li was buried under rubbers of the damaged library for 75 hours before being rescued. In July 2009, the second CALA check of $10,400 will be presented to LSC who will assist in distributing the funds to the affected libraries to purchase library materials.
2009 CALA Annual Program on International Outreach
Chaired by Xudong Jin, CALA President-Elect, the CALA 2009 Annual Program, International Outreach and Leadership: The CALA 21st Century Librarian Seminar Series Program, focuses on the CALA's global outreach program since 2006. The program will review the development and influence of this seminar series on the library profession.
2009 ALA Emerging Leaders Project on CALA Seminar Series Assessment
Two CALA members, Shu-Hua Liu and Jian Anna Xiong, were selected to as the 2009 ALA Emerging Leaders. They are joined by Hilary Davis, another ALA Emerging Leader, worked on a project, CALA Twenty First Century Librarian Seminar Series Assessment and Analysis 2006-2008 (美国华人图书馆员协会二十一世纪系列研讨会分析报告2006-2008) at
http://wikis.ala.org/emergingleaders/images/b/b2/Presentation_revised.pdf The three emerging leaders did an excellent job on this project which reviewed data from the seminar series, identified strengths and areas needing improvements, and provided useful assessment on the project. The project can be used as a benchmark to guide the future seminar series.
3. Enhance services to CALA membership
CALA membership increased
Recruiting new CALA members and keeping them in the association has been a challenge task. This year, the Membership Committee, chaired by Songqian Lu and Elaine Dong, worked very hard on membership recruitment and retention. The two co-chairs walked the walk and took actions with the committee members. They used a variety of methods to reach out and make connections with the new members and inactive members. As it is listed on the committee's report, between July 2008 and June 2009, 82 new members joined CALA, with 142 renewal members and 11 new life members. As of this writing, the total number of active CALA members is 431, representing twenty percent increase in comparison with the previous year. It is the largest membership growth in CALA history. The two co-chairs and the committee members are to be commended for their hard work and tireless efforts in achieving this excellent outcome, despite the tough economic climate facing the nation.
Financial support to CALA members' professional development
In June 2008, the Board approved the establishment of the CALA Conference Travel Grant to provide up to four travel grants ($500 each) to eligible CALA members to support their professional development. Led by Dr. Mengxiong Liu, the CALA Conference Travel Grant Task Force and later became the CALA Conference Travel Grant Ad Hoc Committee completed guidelines development, application procedures, calls and reviews of applications, and selection of the travel grant recipients within one year. The committee's efficiency and effectiveness enabled CALA members to benefit from this CALA grant when the budget cuts are everywhere. The selected CALA members will receive the $500 grant each to attend the coming ALA Annual Conference.
Enhancing CALA Mentorship Program
The Mentorship Program Committee, led by the committee chair Wenwen Zhang, made much effort to match new CALA members with the experienced CALA members. During the year, 13 new CALA members were connected with the mentors. The committee's outreach efforts also helped recruit four new CALA members. Additionally, the first time on CALA history, the committee recruited Ying Xu, Scholarship Committee Chair, as a mentor for all four CALA 2009 scholarship recipients. Ying immediately got in touch with all recipients and provided them with CALA information and benefits. Prior to the 2009 ALA Annual Conference, all of four scholarships recipients have become CALA members. Many thanks to Ying Xu for her excellent outreach efforts in recruiting new CALA members.
4. Provide educational opportunities
Support ALA Emerging Leaders Program
CALA selected two outstanding CALA members, Shu-hua Liu and Anna Xiong for the ALA 2009 Emerging Leaders Program with funding. Haipeng Li and Sha Li Zhang also assisted them with a program project focusing on CALA 21st Century Librarian Seminar Series assessment and evaluation. They have completed the project, will present a poster session at ALA, and will give a presentation at the CALA Annual Program.
JLIS Editorial Board
Min Chou, the newly appointed English Editor for Journal of Library and Information Science (JLIS), is leading the editorial board to aggressively recruit articles for a quality publication. At the 2009 ALA Midwinter Meeting, the CALA Board also approved the re-appointment of Dr. Mark Winston as a member of the CALA JLIS Editorial Board for a three-year term, starting from July 2009. The journal provides the CALA members the publishing opportunities.
Occasional Paper Series (OPS) Editorial Board
The CALA Board approved the appointments of Mr. Bao Xueming as the next Occasional Paper Series (OPS) Editor-in-Chief, starting July 2009, for a three-year term; Dr. Lois Mai Chan, Mr. Manuel Urrizola, and Ms. Ingrid Hsich-Yee for a three-year term (2009-2012), and Ms. Xiaoli Fang and Dr. Chihfen P. Lin for a two-year term (2009-2011), as OPS Editorial Board Members. OPS is open to all CALA members and library professionals who wish to get published and share their best practices.
5. Advocate for users of Chinese heritage, Chinese culture, and Chinese language
Support City of Palo Alto Library Bond Campaign
CALA Board of Directors unanimously passed a resolution to support the City of Palo Alto Library Bond Campaign. The goal of this library campaign is to bring the 50-year-old libraries in the city into the 21st century and up to par with libraries in neighboring cities/communities. The Palo Alto Library Measure N was passed during the 2008 November election. Nearly 70 percent of voters supported the bond measure which would fund Palo Alto library improvements to three of the city's five library branches.
ALA Presidential Advocacy Initiative
In 2009-2010, CALA will appoint a Task Force to work with Dr. Camila Alire, ALA President in 2009-2010, on her presidential advocacy initiative which will focus on "member-driven advocacy" content and training - for librarians, library staff and supporters of all types of libraries. This complements ALA's existing advocacy efforts focusing on local, state, and federal legislative advocacy. It will also be a great opportunity for CALA members to get involved in this initiative.
Additional remarks:
In a few days, the term of my CALA Presidency will end. It was once-in-a-life experience for me to serve on this wonderful organization, with unwavering support from the Executive Committee, Board of Directors, chairs of the committees and taskforces, chapter presidents, and many CALA members. I want to take this opportunity to thank for their confidence, dedication, and passion to make CALA special in library profession. I also want to encourage all CALA members to get involved, serve on committees and taskforces, participate in CALA activities, run for CALA officers, and serve as a mentor to new members. Working together, we can make CALA a stronger organization.
