GREENFORD - Lowellville endured a physical battle with Western Reserve, but emerged with a 47-35 victory in the second round of Division IV sectional play at South Range High School on Thursday night.
"That was the first bloody nose I've ever gotten," Lowellville senior Kaye Solak said. "We were expecting them to be physical because they're a big and strong team. We knew we had to be physical back."
Solak netted 15 points and pulled down eight rebounds to help lead the Lowellville while Rachel Durbin added 13 points. Madison Opritza also recorded double-figures with 12 points. Lowellville will meet Crestview on Wednesday in a district semifinal.
"We were expecting it to be a closer game than last two times we played them," Solak said. "They have really good coaches so we expected them to come out hard and that's what they did."
The Rockets (21-3) used a quick start to jump out to an 11-2 lead after the first quarter. Western Reserve's Rachel Maslach netted the Blue Devils (9-14) only points of the frame on a basket just over two minutes into the game.
Maslach finished with six points on the night.
Fact Box
W. RESERVE SCORING: Lauren Falasca 2-0-4, Bethany Burger 1-1-3, Rachel Maslach 3-0-6, April Lude 2-1-7, Gabby Stubbs 0-2-2, Linley Mamonis 4-5-13. TOTALS: 12, 9-13: 35.
LOWELLVILLE SCORING: Rachel Durbin 5-2-13, Madison Opritza 3-4-12 Kaye Solak 7-1-15, Sam Chiclowe 0-1-1, Allison Wereb 2-0-4. TOTALS: 18, 8-16: 47.
Three-pointers: Wesetern Reserve 2 (Lude), Lowellville 3 (Opritza 2, Durbin).
The basket by Maslach was the last time the Blue Devils lit the scoreboard until Bethany Burger converted a free-throw attempt 1 minute and 16 seconds into the second.
Durbin and Solak each chipped in four of their totals to help boost the offense in the opening frame for the Rockets.
"I'm a little disappointed in the offensive end of it. I thought we fought ourselves more than we did on defense. We were forcing passes and not being patient," Lowellville coach Tony Matisi said. "We had the best practice week we've had in a long time. I'm very happy with defensive effort, I thought we put a lot of pressure on ourselves offensively."
Lowellville managed just five points in the second quarter, and shot just 50 percent from the free-throw line all evening. However, the Rockets were able to limit the Blue Devils from making a run by holding them to just six points in the frame.
"Our defense has been the best it's been all year, but our offense definitely needs some work," Solak said. "We are just rushing everything and I think we're just nervous before games and every time we go to run an offensive play, we're throwing the ball around. We just need to calm down a little bit and we will be okay."
Linley Mamonis poured in 13 points to led the Blue Devils. Mamonis was not in uniform in the Blue Devils' previous two meetings with the Rockets, and her presence inside was part of Lowellville's preparation heading in to Wednesday night's game.
"She just gives them a totally dynamic to the game with her presence inside, she hurt us last year," Matisi said. "She was big and strong and she came back a couple games ago and we knew she would be a presence inside."
The Rockets picked up the tempo in the third and started taking advantage of the Blue Devils by running the floor - precisely what Western Reserve and coach Josh Scott wanted to avoid.
"They got us playing their pace, and we said at the beginning that we don't want to be running up and down the floor," Scott said. "In that third quarter, we started running and letting things get away from us. We told them if we don't rebound, get back on defense and turn the ball over, we are going to be in trouble."
Despite the Blue Devils hanging tough with the Rockets as the final frame unfolded, Western Reserve was unable to fully recover from the hole they had dug themselves in.
"I'm thrilled because you're talking about a team that beat us by over 70 points in two meetings before," Scott said. "We had a good game plan but I think we just had a few miscues and kind of let it get away from us. Other than that, I thought we played well, we just didn't execute down the stretch."

The 36th Annual Classical Greek Theatre Festival
Directed by HUGH HANSON
Nicole Razon as Electra
& Nick Zaharias as Orestes
A stark tale of the vengeance of Elektra and Orestes for the murder of their father Agamemnon by their mother Klytemnestra and her lover. A sequel to last year's U of U Classical Greek Theatre Festival production, Iphigenia in Aulis.
Elektra tells the story of King Agamemnon's children, Elektra and Orestes, and their quest for vengeance on the perpetrators of their father's murder—their mother Klytemnestra and her lover, the new king. Euripides' version presents two anti-heroes—the neurotic, unbalanced Elektra and her cowardly brother Orestes—in a world where the differences between good people and bad people are not always clear. The play questions the traditional values of the time, which judged a man by his wealth, status, and position.

on January 8, 2013 - 12:02 AM
, updated January 8, 2013 at 7:08 AM
The Metropolitan Opera's National Council Auditions are like "American Idol" – only more demanding and dramatic.
Singers across the country, none older than 30, sing challenging arias, hoping to advance to the finals, which are held on the Met's fabled stage in New York City. A triumph in the finals can lead to a major career. One soprano who got her start that way was Rochester native Renee Fleming.
This year, the Buffalo-area auditions – which begin Saturday in the Flickinger Performing Arts Center at Nichols School – will have a little extra pizzazz.
For one thing, Buffalo will be playing host not only to the local auditions on Saturday but to Great Lakes Region Auditions on Sunday. Saturday's winners will face off against the top singers from the Michigan and Pittsburgh districts.
Plus, for the first time that the regional competition has been held here, the diva in charge is from Western New York.
Orchard Park High School alumna Melissa Wegner is associate director of the Met's National Council Auditions. As a diva, she has unusual credentials. She does not sing for her supper. She scouts talent.
Wegner never would have imagined this job when she was a girl, playing violin with Buffalo Suzuki Strings, then singing in the Orchard Park Children's Choir. But her current career is glamorous in its own way.
Wegner, 32, lives in Harlem and travels constantly. Such is her love for opera that even a typical day at the office is exciting.
Once, she caught sight of soprano Diana Damrau. "We have a cafeteria at the Met. She sat at the next table. I couldn't eat." She laughs. "I had to go back to my office."
Another day brought another star sighting. "I went out to make a photocopy. And Dame Kiri te Kanawa is in there. I'm like, 'What is going on?' "
Renee Fleming is in the picture. "Renee's very sweet," Wegner says. She says the same of famed tenor Lawrence Brownlee. "He's so sweet."
Life is a series of trade-offs, and Wegner is happy with the choices she has made. A practical person, she has always enjoyed the business end of things.
"Anywhere I was going [to college], I was going to do a double major," she says. A graduate of the Manhattan School of Music and SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music, she majored in music and business.
"It would be impossible to pursue a professional singing career and have this job," she says.
She enjoys the behind-the-scenes details, she adds. "I like the process of opera more than performing."
They dream a dream
Recent triumphs and heartbreaks of the Met auditions were chronicled in the documentary "The Audition," now available on DVD. It tells the stories of such singers as Ryan Smith, who won and tragically died. And Ryan Speedo Green, an African-American bass baritone who fell in love with opera when he was 14 and was taken to the Met to see "Carmen," starring Placido Domingo and Denyce Graves. Green's life has been a rags-to-riches story to rival "Billy Eliot."
On Saturday in Buffalo, a handful of local singers will bring their own dreams to the auditions. They are Arielle Dye, Jenna Fishback, Kateri Gormley, Danielle McKay and Rachel Mikol.
The pressure is on. A phone call last week to McKay, 25, found her in a drugstore, buying medication for a sinus infection.
"I hope this goes away," she said. "My vocal cords are swollen, and this is my first time auditioning! I hope I'm not making a mistake. I'm supposed to be on vocal rest."
McKay, a graduate of Williamsville North High School and Buffalo State College, is excited nonetheless.
"There are going to be 40 singers," she says. "I feel you go out there and do the best you can. You have fun. That's the reason you're singing. You love it."
Fishback, 21, is also new to the Met auditions. A Nardin Academy alumna, she attends Ithaca College. She shares McKay's positive attitude toward this weekend's adventure.
"I'm just going into it thinking, it's just another opportunity to sing and audition," Fishback says. "I'm really excited to get the feedback from auditioning."
Wegner will be ready with the feedback. Singers always request it, she says.
"They wait all night if they have to." It goes without saying that she would wait all night, too, to offer it.
Luckily for the singers, Wegner is a calming person, with a lively sense of humor. She has big, dramatic dark eyes (her parents adopted her from a Colombian orphanage, and she is often identified as a Colombian-American soprano).
In 2009, she gained offbeat fame from a high-profile appearance on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," an episode in which she laughed a lot, cracked jokes and sang "Happy Birthday" to her mom, in addition to winning $50,000. Videos of that appearance are on YouTube, alongside videos of her singing modern opera.
Her job now is the result of several fascinating steppingstones.
For a while, she operated the supertitles at the Met, a fascinating task. "It's like a very desirable freelancing skill," she says. "That's when I fell in love with opera, studying scores."
Wegner has colorful tastes in opera. She loves Benjamin Britten. " 'The Turn of the Screw' – it's so creepy!" she exclaims. "And I love Handel. It's open to so much different interpretation. It's so amazing." She sighs happily.
She applied for the audition job in August 2011. The person who previously held the position had left to pursue an MBA at Yale.
"Within three weeks I was hired," she marvels. "It was one of those things, I thought, this was meant to be."
"I'm in the learning and exploring process," she says. "I'm so excited I get to work at the Met, to see and hear the greatest, every day and night."

Is it Finally Time to Put 'Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt' Out to Pasture?
Larry Laudan
University of Texas School of Law
April 19, 2011
U of Texas Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 194
This paper diagnoses several of the liabilities of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, including its subjectivity, its ambiguity, and its presumed universal applicability across all crimes and all defendants. It argues further that the Supreme Court's repeated claims that this standard follows logically from an acknowledgement that false convictions are worse than false acquittals is an unsound inference. Finally, it proposes that future discussions of the standard of proof should take place in an environment in which detailed empirical information about the error rates at trial should be the engine driving the re-formulation of the standard of proof.

Versatile merino layer for winter cycling
The latest addition to the Rapha base layer system has been created for extended rides in cold conditions. The Winter Base Layer is made from 100% New Zealand merino and uses an 18.9 micron yarn for exceptional softness against the skin. The natural fibre is also itch-free, high-wicking and odour resistant. Made from a heavier weight yarn than Rapha's regular base layers, the roll neck can be worn as normal for standard insulation, or with the neck pulled up over the face to work in the same way as the Rapha Winter Collar. The Winter Base Layer has raglan sleeves so bag straps won't rub, while flatlock seams ensure it won't chafe.
"Deserving a full review of its own, Rapha's Winter Base Layer is a must-have companion to pair with your Rapha jacket. By sealing in warmth, rapidly wicking moisture and fostering exceptional comfort without donning the look of nerdy cycling apparel, Rapha's Winter Base Layer is without a doubt a flawless garment to add to your cycling wardrobe."
– Subjective Cyclist
"Due to the quality merino and the roll top neck, I found the Winter Base Layer to be ideal for the very coldest days. At temperatures of around 5C, I felt comfortable wearing just the base layer with a mid-weight windproof jacket over the top. For anything colder, the additional of a mid-layer and proper winter jacket has me pedalling comfortably down to -3C, or about the coldest it's gotten this winter down south."To maintain and protect your merino products we recommend using Rapha Merino Wash »
Road.cc ****½
Rapha Merino Wash has been specially formulated for Rapha merino products, with a gentle action that cleans without stripping out the natural oils that are the key to merino's performance. Used regularly, the wash will remove dirt and refresh merino garments thanks to ingredients that include Rapha's Ventoux fragrance. Inspired by the plants and herbs that grow on the slopes of the 'Giant of Provence', the wash also has natural Cedar extract to help repel moths.

After nearly five months at home while still receiving paychecks, two high-ranking officials at the W.Va. Department of Health and Human Resources were back in the office last week - sort of.
Susan Perry, the agency's deputy secretary for legal affairs, and Jennifer Taylor, the DHHR general counsel, were put on "reassignment" in July. So was Assistant Secretary John Law. The three were told to stay out of the DHHR offices because of a dispute concerning a marketing contract awarded by the agency. It went to the high bidder for the work.
Last week, Perry and Taylor were told they could return to work - but were instructed to stay out of their own offices and not deal with certain DHHR matters. Law remained on paid "reassignment."
West Virginians whose tax dollars pay for the DHHR still don't know what's going on. We know the three raised concerns about the marketing contract. We know there have been accusations they interfered improperly with it. And we know Perry and Taylor have filed "whistleblower" lawsuits against the state.
That's it. And DHHR officials have said they do not intend to make results of their investigation of the matter public.
That is unacceptable. So is the prospect the two lawsuits will be gotten rid of through secret settlements, with the public paying but not learning details of this fiasco.
West Virginians have paid for the right to know whether the three DHHR officials had valid concerns or interfered improperly with the marketing contract. If no one else will insist on that information, legislators should do so.

The Airport Authority is exploring opportunities to meet demand for air service
in the San Diego County region. The Regional Aviation Strategic Plan (RASP) is the
first time in the county's aviation history that a comprehensive look at all the
civilian airports has been undertaken.
The RASP identifies and analyzes 15 alternative scenarios that could potentially
work together to improve capacity of the regional airport system.
The matrix above plots each scenario according to its estimated cost to implement
and the number of passengers it would accommodate over the Baseline (do-nothing
approach). The goal is to get as close to the lower right-hand corner of the matrix
as possible to achieve the highest benefit compared to the cost.
To learn more about the RASP findings, read the RASP Annual Update, view the RASP Results Presentation
or click on the links below to read the RASP Technical Report.
The RASP was mandated by Senate Bill 10, authored by State Senator Christine Kehoe.

Fact Sheet and
Frequently Asked Questions.

(SANDAG) as it concurrently developed its Airport Multimodal Accessibility Plan (AMAP), which will
present a multimodal strategy to improve surface transportation to airports. SANDAG
will ultimately incorporate the RASP recommendations into the AMAP and the region's
2050 Regional Transportation Plan.
The graphic above shows how the RASP findings will be incorporated into the AMAP
and 2050 RTP.
The 2050 RTP includes an Aviation and Ground Access Section that describes
the region's airports and related ground access planned to reach them. The Airport
Authority prepares the aviation component of the RTP, as mandated in the legislation
that created the Airport Authority. In addition, the 2050 RTP will include the results
of the Regional Aviation Strategic Plan, which address how to meet the region's
demand for air service, as mandated in SB 10.

I am a member of a small, independant Leafs forum where a member has started taking sign-ups for this mode in hopes that we can fill up all 30 teams. After expanding it between that forum and the EA Sports forum he belongs to we're at 17/30 spots filled and obviously hoping to make 30/30 so there doesn't have to be any AI GMs. I offered to take it here to help fill some spots since I also know there may be interest here at LGW but certainly not enough to fill a league by ourselves.
Before you decide to sign-up here are some points to consider:
This is a PS3 league It is a pure simluation GM Mode, which gives two advantages
Advancing seasons more quickly Performance is based on pure team-building and coaching ability as opposed to just being good at playing the game EA is releasing a mobile app for this mode so you can make offers for UFAs, trade offers, send messages to the league and GMs from your smartphone all without logging onto the PS3 The way teams will be determined is TBD, will be one of following
A random draft of teams with their current rosters A roster shuffle (an in game option since there is no in-game support for fantasy draft), I don't think this is very likely to happen based on those who have expressed their feelings on it A big-ass fantasy draft (if the game allows you to import a custom roster prior to beginning the mode) Somehow I feel like this won't be possible but we'll see Seasons will advance relatively quickly, so that we can finish two in a month or so, something like 3 weeks at a time and then a break until the next sim - offseasons will allow for more time however, all of this is still TBD it's just the general plan so far.
I'll edit this post as the league fills up from other sites as well:

Montrose Elementary receives grant for 'recess renovation'
Montrose Elementary School students jumped rope, played hopscotch and participated in games of foursquare recently on their newly painted blacktop during recess. But now, recess for Montrose students is a bit different. With the help of a grant from Capital One, Montrose was able to launch "Organized Recess," a time of day where students can participate in cooperative games that double as "teachable moments" in the areas of social skills and good citizenship.
"We have done some research and gathered that organized recess decreases discipline incidents," said Montrose Principal Dana Baldacci. "So we decided this year we'd do several days a week of organized recess, and through this grant, we are able to do it."
Capital One volunteers came out early in the week to repaint the blacktop and then again later in the week to show students how to safely use the equipment in a variety of games that aimed at fostering participation and fair play (pictured). Each classroom also received a bucket full of new recess materials that encourage students to interact and play with one another in a collaborative way.
"This is a great opportunity that Capital One gives us to give back to the community and the neighborhood," said Tim Gunn, a Capital One employee. "It's been a great experience, one of the kids even said it was better than field day, so that's just sort of the icing on the cake for us."

Texas crop, weather for June 7, 2011
Texas crop, weather for June 7, 2011
State Climatologist: Drought third-worst in Texas history
Ponds throughout Texas, like this one in the Panhandle, continued to evaporate because of high temperatures and winds. Livestock producers depend upon such ponds as water sources for cattle. (Texas AgriLife Communications photo by Kay Ledbetter)
Broadcast editors: A 2-minute MP3 audio version of this report can be found at: http://agrilifecdn.tamu.edu/today/files/2011/06/0607crop-weather-AUDIO.mp3
COLLEGE STATION — Is this the worst Texas drought ever?
The answer is no, but it certainly is one of the worst, according to Dr. John Nielsen-Gammon, Texas A&M University professor and Texas state climatologist.
"Based on Palmer Drought Severity Index values, this is the third-worst drought Texas has ever seen in the month of May," Nielsen-Gammon writes in his blog, the Climate Abyss
The worst droughts remain those in 1918 and 1956, according Nielsen-Gammon.
Nielson-Gammon's blog is hosted by the Houston Chronicle and can be found at http://blog.chron.com/climateabyss/
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor
It may not be the worst drought ever, but lifelong farmers throughout the state are telling Texas AgriLife Extension Service agents this is the driest they've ever experienced.
"Weather continued to be hot and dry," said Mark Brown, AgriLife Extension agent for Lubbock County
And while a few weeks ago, rains may have greened things up in East Texas
"We are in bad need of rain," said Clint Perkins,AgriLife Extension agent for Wood County
"Corn, milo and cotton are under severe drought-like conditions and stressing," said Pasquale Swaner, AgriLife Extension agent for Falls County
More information on the current Texas drought and wildfire alerts can be found on the AgriLife Extension Agricultural Drought Task Force website at http://agrilife.tamu.edu/drought/ .

Well....I'm so glad we found a topic we can finally all agree on. And that is...beer is good, no beer is bad!!!
Now I'm sure we could argue until we turned blue in the face about which beer is best, but that's just a matter of 'taste'. But the end of the day, no matter what's in our mugs, we can hoist them and say 'prost!!!'.
And thanks for the CA beer and brewery suggestions... I'll give them a try.

Beautiful Pen
By Ianturn
from Picton, Ontario
I have one for myself and bought two more as gifts. It is very attractive and a perfect feel and weight.
A PENtiful Christmas!
By SkyeRN
from Austin
Santa delivered several distinguished pens this year. For the young Business woman, a lovely Chesterton Espresso ballpoint , complete with monogram. The family artist received the strikingly RED Ferrari ballpoint. For the high school math teacher, the architectural blueprint ballpoint, covered in angles and equations. And lastly for the computer artist, the Chroma Topper Stylus ballpoint, monogrammed.
Use with Levenger's Easy Flow refills
By sandcarver
from Fort Collins, CO
The pen is beautiful, as so many others here attest. I had the rollerball version but wanted a ballpoint as a use-anywhere pen but was a little dubious because I own another Levenger ballpoint and the ink flow has difficulty starting and skips. I purchased this pen with Levenger's Easy Flow refills and have been very pleased. It starts immediately and writes smoothly without any skipping.
Great Pen
By TCGolfer
from Chicago
This pen looks as good or better than the picture. Smooth writing and perfect balance. I bought this pen as a gift and the recipient let me try it out. He uses it every day now and I rarely see him around the office without it.
Excellent Writing Instrument
By Cindy9
from Detroit, MI
Beautiful pen. I have another in a different color from 3 years ago that sits on my desk at home. The Espresso I keep on my desk at work and no one is allowed to touch it! Fits wonderfully in my hand and it is very smooth to write with.
By oncangel
from Undisclosed
This is a very beautiful pen. The color of the pen changes with the light. It writes smoothly. Appears to be well constructed. Has some weight so it feels nice in your hand.
By Nash
from Washington DC
Wanted a solid pen that writes well. Got that and more. The marble design really makes the pen standout and it is a pleasure to write with. Thinking about the rollerball version.
Best gift ever!
By Kathie
from Dallas, Texas
I bought the Chesterton Espresso Ballpoint for my husband for our anniversary. As an airline pilot he always has to have a pen on him. He often complained that many "nice" pens has has been given in the past were too small for his hand, but he not only loved the size and feel of the pen, he loved that i also had it personalized!When the pen arrived it was better looking than the picture! I am very glad I ensured this deployed with a twist and that he did not have to take off the cap to use. He just mentioned to me a few days ago that many admire his pen! Perfect gift!
beautiful !!
By Debba
I ordered two this year as gifts, had them each engraved by Levenger, and I was delighted with the pens and the ordering process! The pens are SO beautiful in person. My husband (an attorney) just loves the weight, the feel, the ease of use and carry (with the pocket clip) ~ they arrived nicely boxed for gifting, and I could not be happier. Perfect gift for the man who has everything, for sure...thank you Levenger!! I WILL be back for more!!

I hate shootouts
#1 Guest_CaliWingsNut (Guest)
Posted 16 November 2009 - 05:02 PM
Shootouts are an unfair means of ending a fair and close game.
It promotes overpayment for a few star players rather than a balanced roster. In my opinion some teams use it to their advantage and try to get ties purposely against tough opponents. The NHL doesn't have the star power to support it either, especially since they focus their ads on a small handful of the whole.

Nope. A penalty shot is entertainment - the shootout is the Amerikan 'philosophy' that 'somebody must win'.....
Posted 16 November 2009 - 05:23 PM
Are you saying that when everyone is the building is standing from their seats and cheering their heads off during every single shootout attempt and hanging on who gets the extra point the crowd isn't entertained?

A shootout competition during the All Star Weekend is a good idea because it's fun to see. But I don't like the idea of a team winning a hockey game in a way that didn't even involve playing hockey.
Posted 16 November 2009 - 05:47 PM
Heh, that sounds funny considering that professional sports exist solely because of their entertainment value.
But I agree, it's a dumb way to settle a game, especially with the practically pointless 5 minute OT preceding it.

Posted 16 November 2009 - 06:27 PM
No, no no, ties are the worst.
Shootouts are horrible ways to end games, I agree, but ties were even worse. I think the points system should be simplified to no points for an OT loss. You either win or you lose.

Posted 16 November 2009 - 06:33 PM
it makes perfect sense for the regular season, ties are stupid and serve no purpose...
I HATE a team game being decided by individuals and I think there should be more incentive to winning the game the way it is suppose to be played... with that said, I think ALL games should be worth 3 pts and I think overtime needs to be tweaked....
If a tie after regulation - 4 on 4 for 5 minutes.
If a tie after the first OT - 3 on 3 for another 5 minutes.
If there is STILL a tie... then a SO - FOR REG SEASON ONLY - Playoffs - play until someone wins
Win in regulation or OT - 3pts
Win in SO - 2 pts
Loss in SO - 1 pt
grand total of 3 pts for every game, if you don't win it in reg or OT, you actually lose a pt you could have won in OT - more incentive to win in reg or OT
All I have to say about Holland and our off-season:
and finally
Holland is a damn good GM. period.
Posted 16 November 2009 - 06:41 PM
Actually I tend to disagree...Being a longtime Wings fan, and fan of the game - I gotta admit I don't mind watching regular season games end up with a winner due to the shoot-out.
I loath the idea of a tie, and IMHO throughout the 90's, and up until the 2004 season - most teams appeared to coast thru the 5 min O.T. with neither team giving the extra effort to win, nor did they want to lose so both teams did just enough to secure the tie

List of open source tools for libraries
Open source tools worth bookmarking
One of my favorite workshops to give is the one that introduces librarians and their staff to open source software. After defining open source to them and debunking all the FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) out there, I focus my talk on a list of open source tools that can be useful to libraries.
I've been collecting resources for years, but just haven't had a chance to use them all. I sometimes wish I could take a month long vacation from work and spend the time testing out all of the software I've been sharing with libraries for years (of course, spending that time on a tropical island would also be nice).
At a recent event, a librarian approached us (ByWater Solutions) to ask if LibKi, an open source Kiosk management system, could handle room booking. My colleague said no and that he didn't think there was such an open source tool... but he was wrong. I quickly jumped in and opened up a list of open source bookmarks I have on my laptop that includes links to tools like MRBS and OpenRoom. Then, this week at a training session, a librarian was talking about how she wasn't pleased with the options out there for subject guide creation—so, I pointed her to my list which includes SubjectsPlus and Library a la carte.
My full list of open source tools that I've found and archived over the years is public on Delicious. Do you have a list of open source tools you wish you had a use for or a chance to test out? Are there tools that I'm missing that should be on my list to share with libraries?
5 Comments
I've been meaning to pitch an article on this, but it fits pretty well here (since it isn't in your "full list of open source tools"), and I haven't managed to find the time to write up anything concrete...
Ren'Py, a open source tool for developing visual novels, is wonderful for making virtual tours, presentations, learning games, and more. Writing a basic script is super simple, and adding in basic game/programming logic (storing a variable, if statements, jumping to a different section of code) is not that hard. Writing a Ren'Py script is only a little more difficult than writing English. If you want to take it even farther, Ren'Py is built in/on Python, so Ren'Py can do anything Python can do.
Ren'Py is cross platform, and the SDK and games can run on Windows, Mac, and Linux (x86 & x86_64). Though, unfortunately, games makers don't always release versions of their game for all three OSes. There is also a build tool, rapt (Ren'Py Android Packaging Tool), to build Ren'Py games for Android. Rapt needs to be downloaded separately, if you want to use it.
There are over 500 games developed using Ren'Py. The games vary wildly in length, age appropriateness, and, admittedly, quality. However, with 500 examples to choose from, there is certainly something there that could provide that spark of imagination to create something yourself. Some of the best examples of what Ren'py is capable of are the commercial (non-free) games Loren The Amazon Princess (a fantasy RPG) and Planet Stronghold (a sci-fi RPG), both from Winter Wolves, and Matches and Matrimony (a Jane Austen inspired relationship game) by Reflexive Entertainment. Demo/trial versions of all three games are available to download. Though many of the free games on the Ren'Py Games page are excellent as well.
Like I stated earlier, creating with Ren'Py isn't limited to games, so if, for example, you want to create a nice virtual tour of your library with a cartoon version of your library's mascot showing children around and teaching them how to use the library, this is an excellent tool for accomplishing that task. And Ren'Py's documentation is very good, so there no major barrier to entry on that front. If you can write, you can use Ren'Py, no really coding experience is needed. Granted, you'll make a prettier product if you happen to have some artistic skills, but it isn't a deal breaker if you aren't a GIMP guru. If you want to bring in a fancier feature based on programming logic, the documentation shows how to do that without being overly technical. You don't need to be an IT wizard to use Ren'Py, you just need creativity.
Joshua, our team can work with you and see if we can convert this into a feature article. We'll gladly add this to our to-do list.
A very interesting mix of tools. Definitely have to give that list a closer look. So, I'll be duly bookmarking that set of bookmarks ...
Another one to add is Forge:
Forge is an implementation of Magic the Gathering that lets you play against a computer AI opponent using most of the rules of a real game. You can construct decks for you and the computer to play with, currently about 13076 (and counting) cards are available. We now include over 100 schemes, vanguards and planes. You can also play in a draft, sealed deck format or in a guantlet against the computer. There is a new variant game mode that lets you play against multiple computer opponents. Currently, this program only lets you play against the computer, you cannot play against another human player over the Internet.
(note: the description is theirs; although it says 'we' it doesn't include 'me' yet...)

Albert Heyward, the man who bought the defunct shopping center at Plantation Square in Goose Creek, is two steps closer to giving the derelict property a much-needed facelift as he turns it into a storage facility.
Goose Creek City Council approved the second and final reading to rezone the recently annexed property as general commercial at its Nov. 12 meeting.
Heyward said he was pleased with the job the city staff and boards have done. He added in his 35 years in the storage business he's never seen such a wonderful group.
Before the meeting, Heyward had to make two presentations in two months to the Goose Creek Architectural Review Board. The second occurred at a Oct. 21 meeting regarding what Heyward has dubbed Storage Solutions at Plantation Square.
"Does staff feel all our issues are addressed?" ARB Chair Sharon Clopton asked.
"Our biggest concern is the landscaping between York Street and those duplexes," Goose Creek Planning Director Sarah Hanson said. "The perimeter landscaping is fabulous, but the ordinance requires all fencing to be landscaped . . . we're going to have to find some way to buffer that fencing."
Four condenser units in the back of the building will be screened inside a fenced-in area, according to Heyward. He said the building will be painted all around and there will be planter boxes as buffers.
Clopton asked for a sample of the color for the back of the building. Heyward had all but one of the color samples with him at that meeting.
"We want it to look good," Heyward said. "We want it to be something you can be proud of."
Hanson told The Gazette that this is a big project for the ARB and gave the city numerous details. She said renovating an existing building to meet code is often more meticulous than approving plans for a new building.
In the case of Plantation Square, the property was annexed into the city this summer after being an enclave of Berkeley County previously. County codes are not as strict as city codes.
The property now lies in the city's downtown business district, or overlay district, which has different requirements. This is the area in the triangle between North Goose Creek Boulevard, St. James Avenue and Old Mt. Holly Road.
The ARB approved the renovation project subject conditions including:
• The exterior side walls of the proposed RV storage building addition must be fully enclosed on both the front side and the back side. Walls must be painted with the proposed mastic paint in the color "desert tan."
• All existing stucco must be cleaned, repaired and repainted as submitted.
• The additional access and parking area located for the RV storage addition shall be paved.
• The parking lot as a whole must be repaired and resealed.
• All perimeter fencing must be the proposed Belmont decorative black aluminum fencing.
• Screening of the mechanic equipment and the dumpster area, both to the located at the rear of the building, is to be provided via black vinyl chain link fencing fitted with vertical slatting.
• The rear and left side of the building must be repaired and repainted.
• At least two trees must be added to the proposed landscaping, and an adequate number of trees planted along the front of the RV storage building to provide a screen for the front side of the building.
• Parking islands must be replanted.
• Landscaping must be provided along the front fence line facing the parking lot by providing planter boxes planted with small trees, shrubbery and additional plants as required.
• A comprehensive sign permit package should be submitted to the city for review and approval by the board.
Approvals were for phase one of the redevelopment only.

The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to join the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association class action lawsuit seeking to overturn the state fire fee.
El Dorado County residents living in the "state responsibility area" began receiving fire fee bills in late September.-The fee is $150 per habitable structure within the state responsibility area.-A $35 dollar discount applies if the structure is also within the boundaries of a local fire protection district.
The county government received bills for five pieces of property including sites purchased for road right of way, the Perks Court homeless facility, residential property adjacent to the Headington Road corporation yard, and the Union Mine disposal site. The county filed a Petition for Redetermination, and submitted a letters to state officials indicating the county's payment of the fee was provided under protest.
The county's letter argues that the fire fee is actually a tax which requires a two-thirds vote of the Legislature.- The bill imposing the fire fee garnered only a simple majority of votes.
"For this reason," the letter states, "the County of El Dorado pays the Fire Prevention Fee under protest and reserves all rights to pursue a refund of said amount through judicial action or otherwise."
It is expected that the HJTA complaint against the fee will be amended in the coming weeks to add additional plaintiffs, including El Dorado County.
Information about the lawsuit is available at www.firetaxprotest.org. For more information about the fee, including a list of recommended actions regarding payment is available on the county's website at www.edcgov.us.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
The effective purification of nucleic acids from various cell and tissue types is an essential starting point to a broad variety of experimental protocols. With downstream uses in PCR and restriction analysis, for example, purified nucleic acids are essential to different scientific study areas, including drug discovery and medical research. As such, the quality of the starting material—the DNA—is essential.
By using magnetic bead based technology, where magnetic particles are transferred instead of the liquid, residuals are no longer present to decrease purity. As a result, users can extract high yields of pure DNA from cell or tissue samples for downstream use.
In this issue, we discuss the new Thermo Scientific KingFisher Cell and Tissue DNA Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and how it has been used to determine the optimal conditions for maximizing purity and yield from cell and tissue samples, consequently increasing the efficiency of downstream applications. By providing a unique product portfolio including the new kit, the Thermo Scientific KingFisher Flex and BindIt software, an automated process with walk-away capabilities can be produced. Workflows are, therefore, streamlined to enable faster throughput while maintaining high levels of sample purity and yields.
The DNA-purification process was performed using the KingFisher® Flex, in combination with the KingFisher Cell and Tissue DNA Kit, which consists of: KingFisher Magnetic Beads, Lysis Buffer, Binding Buffer, three Wash Buffers and an Elution Buffer. The magnetic particles are characterized by a high surface area and uniform size distribution, making them suitable for high-throughput processing.
DNA was purified from different sample materials:
In order to assess the best conditions for optimizing yield, different processing times for lysing the tissues were tested, and DNA was eluted in 150 µL of the Elution Buffer
Sample lysis. The DNA-purification process begins with homogenization and lysing of the sample. Efficient lysis is extremely important in order to gain high yields of quality DNA. The sample material must be effectively lysed to enable the magnetic beads to bind to the DNA in a suitable buffer. Subsequent washing steps dispose of inhibitors, and high-purity DNA is eluted into the elution buffer. Optimal lysis time differs between cell and tissue types, due to various cellular and extracellular molecular structures, for example hard tissues such as cartilage and bone.
Lysis of cells. After the addition of the 200 µL Lysis Buffer, the HeLa-S3 cells were efficiently mixed by pipetting and subsequent vortexing for 30 seconds, until the viscosity was lost. The samples were incubated for 15 minutes at 70ºC.
Lysis of tissue samples. Ear, kidney, and liver samples were lysed in 250 µL Lysis Buffer and vortexed for 15 seconds. Parallel samples were then incubated at 56ºC for 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4.5 hours, and overnight. Spleen and tail samples were only lysed overnight (due to limited availability of sample material). Following lysis, all samples were centrifuged for 5 minutes at 6000 x g to separate out the cell debris from the lysate.
The 15 minute lysis of the tissue samples occurred directly in the KingFisher Flex embedded heating block. The samples lysed for longer time periods (1 hour, 4.5 hours, and overnight) were incubated in a benchtop heating block.
Purification. Each sample type was purified using the magnetic bead technology of the KingFisher Flex. This ensures that the final DNA is of high quality and free from proteins, nucleases, and other contaminants or inhibitors.
Once the samples are cleared of any cellular debris, the lysate, Binding Buffer, and KingFisher Magnetic Beads were all transferred to the KingFisher Flex instrument. This technology is based on the use of magnetic rods, which move particles through the various phases of purification (binding, washing, and elution). By transferring the magnetic particles instead of liquids, there is no chance of contaminating residual carryover and a rapid and reproducible protocol is therefore ensured.
During the binding step, the target DNA binds to the magnetic beads, in the presence of chaotropic salts. In order to provide highly pure DNA, the wash steps effectively remove any potentially contaminating proteins or cellular debris. The purified DNA is then eluted from the magnetic beads into the Elution Buffer. The purification process within the KingFisher Flex took approximately 25 minutes per 96 samples.
