McPhilbin: The underdog champion
There was a real life 'Rocky' feel about Shane McPhilbin's thrilling last round 'come from behind' British title win over Leon Williams last January. And in an interview last week, the grounded Bulwell cruiser told boxing writer Glynn Evans how he intends to prolong his Hollywood tale when he faces off against hammer-fisted former WBO champion Enzo Maccarinelli on Friday.
Williams vs McPhilbin fight night pictures
Pictures from Friday night's British cruiserweight title humdinger at the York Hall between Leon Williams and Shane McPhilbin. Challenger McPhilbin picked himself off the canvas in rounds one and six to score two knockdowns of his own in the last round, forcing the ref to stop it and raise his hand as the new British cruiserweight champion.
Ringside Round-Up: 'King' Arthur back on winning trail
Super Six contender Arthur Abraham returned to winning ways on Saturday night, stopping Argentinean Pablo Farias after five rounds in Offenburg, Germany.
Having started off at his usual slow pace, Abraham put together some hard combinations to put Farias down twice in the fifth, before a third knockdown led to referee Manuel Maritxalar to call an end to proceedings.
10-Count Quiz: Leon Williams
The last people to come out of South London with the 'Solid' moniker were a 30-man strong urban music collective that faded into obscurity as quickly as they shot to fame. Just as well Leon 'Solid' Williams is made of different stuff.
Hailing from the streets of Streatham, Williams has already picked himself up from three defeats to win the British cruiserweight title in his short 12-fight career – the last thing he intends to do is fade into obscurity.
Williams looking 'Solid' in run up to McPhilbin clash
Queensberry Promotions kicks off the domestic boxing calendar on January 13 with a cracking card from York Hall, which sees British cruiserweight champ Leon 'Solid' Williams make his first defence against Shane McPhilbin.
Williams revealed he has undergone a tough training camp over the festive period and has made sure that any Christmas turkey has been accompanied by a huge amount of hard graft at the Trad TKO gym in Canning Town.
Ringside Round-Up
Nonito Donaire retained the WBC and WBO bantamweight titles, unanimously outpointing Omar Narvaez on Saturday night at the Theater in Madison Square Garden.
Despite scoring 120-108 on all three of the judges' scorecards, Donaire was unhappy with the fight because of his opponent's refusal to engage throughout the 12 rounds – a feeling shared by the 4,425 fans in attendance who booed the lack of action.
Queensberry return with cruiserweight showdown
After a rapturous opening night at the York Hall last month, Francis and George Warren and their Queensberry Promotions imprint return to the venue on Friday night for a British cruiserweight showdown between Rob Norton and Leon Williams, live on BoxNation (Sky Channel 456).
Williams, who steps into the ring still well tuned from his win against Nick Okoth in September, criticised Norton about his lack of ring action since 2010 calling for the champ to stop 'hoarding' the title.

A local restaurant known for its European dishes is closing after only being open for three months.
Beignets is located on the 100 block of North Wall and it opened on July 13.
Owner Judie Sowards said at first business was booming.
"People love the food. The ambiance is incredible. We were doing really good when we opened. We were doing really good for a first time restaurant," Sowards said.
However, things quickly turned sour. Sowards said shortly after the restaurant opened, Beignets ran into a problem. A group of teenagers would hang out outside the restaurant and Sowards claims they started terrorizing customers. They would beg for money, food and beer.
"All of a sudden we hear someone yelling 'I'm going to kill you' and (the customers) see these kids running down the street and someone coming in real high yelling profanities," Sowards said. "My customers said 'Hey, I'm not coming back here again. I don't want to be bothered during dinner.'"
The business has lost so much money Sowards said she can't afford to stay open. She said business dropped 75 percent last month.
"I couldn't make payroll. I had to borrow money to make pay roll. I don't have any more money. I'm broke, totally broke. I cannot borrow any more," Sowards said.
A local teenager, Harleigh Coulter, hangs out near the restaurant daily.
"It makes me sad because their business is going out and the fact that she's blaming our group. I mean for all she knows it could be someone who is not in this group," Coulter said.
Sowards hopes someone else will buy the restaurant and continue to serve beignets and crepes.
The restaurant will close Thursday at 9 p.m.

The strength of the Oakland A's is in their pitching. They have a very good bullpen that has been fortified in the offseason and it is expected to anchor the team in 2013. But as spring training approaches, the unit with the most room for growth and with the biggest potential to move the A's closer towards a World Series championship is their starting pitching.
Last year, the A's ranked ninth in starter's earned run average (ERA) at 3.80 in spite of many obstacles. The biggest by far was the prolonged absence of staff ace Brett Anderson, who did not return until August 21st. Six total starts from the best starter in the rotation and the 2012 A's still made the playoffs.
How? Because they were bolstered by a poised and talented crop of rookies. Jarrod Parker, Tom Milone, A.J. Griffin, Dan Straily and Travis Blackley helped make last year's A's team the first in Major League history to reach the postseason with more than 70 total starts from rookie pitching (90).
But while they were good, there is reason to believe this year's rotation could be even better. Gone are Tyson Ross and Graham Godfrey, who both struggled mightily in 2012. A full season of Anderson with the experience of 2012 should only serve to benefit the five rookies vying for four rotation spots. And yes, the return of Bartolo Colon should be a benefit in the event there is some recession from the young arms.
So the thinking is the A's starting pitching will be better. The question is, how much so? Well, the answers lie inside. Let's start with the ace of the staff, Brett Anderson.

D-Day Remembered By Local Veterans Who Were There
June 6, 1944.
Allied troops stormed 5 beaches in France, cracking Hitler's Western Front.
It was a pivotal victory in World War II.
Seventy years later, the veterans who remember the battles on that beach are doing just that, remembering.
"There was parts of human bodies in my track. There was so many," said Amos "Andy" Cambron.
Cambron was a 21 year old tank driver and straight out of basic training in Pine Camp in 1944.
His division hit Utah beach in Normandy a few days after D-Day.
Now he spends his days playing cards at Samaritan Keep Home, but he doesn't forget.
"War is hell, I don't care what they say," he said.
At least 4,400 Allied troops were killed on D-Day and paratrooper Bob Noody from Star Lake was on the ground that first day.
"I cry easy. I don't like to talk about that," said Noody.
Many thousands more died in the next three month battle, which brought the Allies to Paris to liberate the French capital from Nazi occupation.
"Boy they was happy we pulled into Paris," said Cambron.
And the French are still happy about that battle today as Noody got a chance to see France again in a trip to Normandy.
He was thanked by French citizens and he wanted to say thank you back.
"I'd like to say thank you but in a way they'd remember me," said Noody.
Both men are Bronze Star recipients.
Both men in their 90s look back today on the terror of that battle and the Allied victory that came out of it.
And for that, 70 years later, we still say, thank you.

In a bid not to lose market share, ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, have responded to the launch of Nvidia Corp.'s GeForce GTX 460 with a price drop of the Radeon HD 5830 graphics card. The company claims that the model 5830 with the new price will be more competitive than the rival, but the rivalry will still not be easy.
Starting recently, the official recommended price of ATI Radeon HD 5830 1GB graphics card will be $199 in the U.S., which is equal to the price of Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 768MB. Earlier the manufacturer suggested retail price of the Radeon HD 5830 1GB was $239. Several leading online stores in the country have already started to sell the model 5830 at the new MSRP. There are also a number of advanced versions of the Radeon HD 5830 with increased clock-speed and special cooling systems that are sold at higher price-points.
ATI Radeon HD 5830 graphics card is based on the cut-down version of the code-named Cypress (RV870) graphics processor and features 1120 stream processors, 56 texture units, 16 render back ends, 256-bit GDDR5 memory controller and is clocked at 800MHz. ATI recommends its partners to install 1GB of 4.0GHz memory on the 5830 models graphics boards. The chip is fully compatible with DirectX 11; OpenGL 3.2/4.0; OpenCL 1.0; dual hardware full-HD video decoder that supports MPEG4-AVC, MPEG4-MVC, VC-1, Adobe Flash 10.1, WMV HD and so on; post-processing of high-definition video; built-in 7.1-channel audio core that can bitstream any loseless audio format, such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD Master Audio or LPCM via HDMI 1.3a;
The Radeon HD 5830 has a number of advantages over the GeForce GTX 460: it has 1GB of faster memory (4.0GHz vs. 3.60GHz) connected using 256-bit memory bus and generally has higher raw power performance (1.792 TFLOPS vs. 0.961 TFLOPS). However, the GTX 460 has higher amount of render back ends compared to the 5830 (16 vs. 24), has higher performance when performing tessellation operations and supports a number of Nvidia-exclusive technologies. Moreover, there are ATI Radeon HD 5830 graphics boards that utilize long print-circuit boards inherited from the Radeon HD 5870 and also consume too much power for sub-$200 graphics boards.
All in all, the best choice for $199 is not obvious and should be based on a comparison of two actual graphics cards, not abstract models.

The Legend of Turnaround Tuesday Continues
Traders fade the bloom from the rose.
Did you ever have one of those days? Sorta like the metaphorical equivalent of schlepping into a noisy metropolis on a dreary Monday morning during a thunder storm only to find that the primary portal of your business -- your website -- was mysteriously lost in translation during the migration of your hosting infrastructure and remained off-line for over an hour during one the most critical junctures in global financial market history?
I have, and the only analogy I can offer is that I felt more like Ted Logan (before he was excellent) and less like Neo (after he realized he was chosen).
I slipped out of the office yesterday a bit before the bell -- in and of itself a rarity -- with hopes of finding some mojo or at the very least avoiding an action that I would later regret. (One of the best pieces of advice I've ever received was to sit on emails for 24 hours before sending.)
As I pulled into my apartment and fired up some financial television (yes, I'm a market junkie), I had a sudden thought.
Didn't we posit on Friday that the S&P had "room" to 1200 if it were to fill the opening gap (lower) that followed the US credit downgrade?
Click to enlarge
Hadn't we tossed on yesterday's Buzz & Banter that, while the S&P didn't hit real resistance until 1250, the NDX was bumping up against a similar situation at NDX 2200 -- which we flagged in the middle of yesterday's merger-spurred Manic Monday?
Click to enlarge
Isn't today Turnaround Tuesday, or the mirror image of the eye-popping scrimmage we witnessed last week?
And wait, did I really witness several financial commentators giggle -- yes, giggle -- as they openly mocked, "US downgrade what?" and reactively celebrated what was rather than what could be?

2013 CSA Awards
The Canadian Sociological Association annually presents awards of recognition for scholarly work and contributions to the field of Canadian Sociology. We are thrilled to introduce two new additions highlighting the work of researchers and applied sociologists.
Nominations are due March 31, 2013
This award has been created to recognize sociologists who undertake community action projects that bring social science knowledge, methods, and expertise to bear in addressing community-identified issues and concerns.
It celebrates a Sociologist's contribution to sociological practice that has served as a model for working with a community, organization or public service. We wish to honour work that has had a significant sociological perspective and, by so doing, has elevated the profession for Sociology as a whole. It is expected that this work has been honoured or widely recognized outside the discipline in advancing human welfare. The recipient of this award will have spent considerable time involving research, administrative or operational responsibilities as a member of an organization, agency or association or as a solo practitioner.
The Canadian Sociological Association Early Investigator Award honours sociologists who have made significant research contributions within the first ten years since the completion of their PhDs. The award recognises research demonstrating high quality, theoretical rigour and/or methodological innovation, and future potential. Furthermore, the research should make a significant contribution to the candidate's field.
Learn more about the CSA Awards on our website.

Prime Suspect 1-5
Prime Suspect -- the tense, uncompromising drama created by the distinguished dramatist and novelist Lynda La Plante, has been critically acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic and has won a total of 14 international awards. Detective Inspector Jane Tennison, a skilled top-class detective, continues to struggle to prove herself in a male-dominated world.
A performance as thorny and propulsive as Helen Mirren's in the Prime Suspect series has a crackle that holds up ... her trim execution recalls Humphrey Bogart... Tennison's methodical mind marshals and abstracts the details of the case until they click like the beads of an abacus..."

Removable Line Marking
The 3M™ Stamark™ 710(white) and 711(yellow) tapes are retro-reflective and highly visible road marking tapes that can be used to delineate new lanes through roadworks, or to make any other temporary markings.
View Product Information (PDF, 524.07 KB)
Removable Masking Tape
The 3M™ Stamark™ 715 road marking tape is a black tape that can be laid directly over existing road lines, to mask them from the carriageway. It can then be removed easily when road works are completed, without causing damage to the marking underneath, returning the road to it's original layout.

Does such a thing exist? Seem quite a few online retailers just not sure how to sort the wheat from the chaff? Ta
Chat Forum
CRC/wiggle equivalent for motorbike kit?
Hein gericke?
Get geared got me up and running and were happy to sort returns for size corrections.
Used to be George Whites, who went from a big bike and kit discount chain to a central site to tits-up and reborn as a cheap kit warehouse (on same site). Some of their buildings used by other dealers so if youre localish its still worth a trip.
Busters are cheap generally.
J&S maybe too. Their websites were really poor last time I looked though.
Generally, I tend to but my kit from dealers with a decent selection. Depends what your looking for really. Although, I've bought stuff online from onyerbike, riders, etc. most seem to out clearance stuff on eBay though. I'm based in Nottingham so I usually go to CMC's in chesterfield or Pidcock's that have a decent section and its a ride out too.
Maybe infinity too thinking about it.
Agree with ChrisA, most of my kit I buy after trying it on in dealers (plenty of sales on this time of year), and a lot of the stores sell their cheap stuff as eBay traders. Got a £300 Shoei in last years colours (and the colour scheme I actually liked) for £180 from ebay, but it was a bricks-and-mortar shop using ebay for web exposure.
For online then it's mainly -
J&S always were the bricks and mortar discount store of choice as they've got a few branches and always seemed to have decent offers on - http://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/
Cheers guys, getgeared isn't too far from me and has the jacket in the colour I'm after (alpinestars andes)
Depends what you are after
Most of stuff is from Hein Gericke, Infinity Motorcycles and J&S, but there are outlets relatively local to me
I bought my lids from lid specialists though as they were the cheapest
Infinity are doing astars smw 5 wp for good price but need a jacket first I think.

SharePoint, black magic and even more....
Hi all! May be you are already familiar with sharepoint 2010 script on demand feature. Recently I was playing with it and want to show some examples and explanations how it works.
There is a server control, that is responsible for rendering scripts on demand - ScriptLink .This control has 4 significant properties: LoadAfterUI, Name, OnDemand and Localizable.
<form runat="server">
Ok, some examples. Imagine we have script file myscript.js directly inside the layouts folder and we want to load it (OnDemand = false) . Its easy:

Hello all!
If you are working with SharePoint you are using lookups a lot. SharePoint renders lookup field in list forms as html <select> element. And you may know, that if items count in lookup list become more than 20, something interesting happens with lookup render mechanism. In IE (and in IE only), html <select> become an <input> with image (complex select-like control). Consider following images:
As you can see, lookup renders differently for different browsers. IE renders lookup as <input> and image, binds a couple of events to this controls to simulate auto complete behavior. This is pretty cool solution, but has its drawbacks: it works in IE only, you can't style it, autocomplete appears when items more than 20 and you can't control it. I've written small jQuery plugin to fix this.
There are two methods in my plugin: fixLookup and lookupAutoComplete.
SharePoint, SharePoint 2010, jQuery, jQuery UI, lookup

If you need to quickly get field internal name or type from UI, you can get it from any list form - new\edit\view. You must select html <td> element, that contains specified field value, and in html comments you can see field's display name, internal name, and field type. As on screenshot below, I use Firebug in Firefox:
Or Web Developer tools in IE:

Recently I posted about accessing lookup fields in item event receivers and about some pitfalls when you are using it.
Next part is about using PeopleEditor (or people picker as it sometimes called). Let's add new field to our list and see what will happen in event receivers.
First, ItemAdding:
In AfterProperties you can see "7". "7"?! Why? Because SPFieldUser that we was added also an a lookup field. Lookup list for this field is a hidden UserInformationList that trackes a part of user-related information, such as login name, display name, email, and some other. "7" is id of user in UserInformationList. You can get SPUser object by using method web.SiteUsers.GetByID(id), or you can use SPFieldUserValue to get user.
In ItemAdded you can see that our lookup has a value - this a login name of a user:
But sometimes you may encounter with problem, when user may not in UserInformationList. I delete user from this list using this small PS script:
SharePoint 2010, lookup
Lookup | SharePoint
Recently I was playing with synchronous item event receivers and lookup fields and found some interesting behavior in different situations. I'll try to describe some pitfalls that I faced when develop item receivers for SharePoint.
So, lookup fields. When you try access to a lookup field in such events as Adding or Updating you may to have lookup value. But AfterProperties always contain only lookup Id, if you want to get lookup value you must query item by id. Imagine you have a list named "Software", it has title field and category lookup field (now we have 19 category types in "Category" list). When we try to add new item in "Software" list in ItemAdding event we can see:
Where "18" is an Id of category. And ItemAdded:
So, when use class SPFieldLookupValue, in ItemAdding event LookupValue equal to null (in AfterProperties) and not null in ItemAdded(in ListItem).
Let's try to update this item:
Situation is very similar - in AfterProperties we have an item Id (LookupId in SPFieldLookupValue class, LookupValue is null), and value in ListItem. In ItemUpdated event as you may know we will have both lookupId and LookupValue. Be aware of this SharePoint behavior.

The Best Burger Chain In The Country Is Announced
They polled a bunch of (barely) human hogs and heifers and decided that the best burger chain in the country...
isn't McDonald's.
That place ranked towards the rock bottom of the list, barely higher than Jack in the Box and Dairy Queen.
(Wait, Dairy Queen serves burgers? Can you get ice cream on that?)
Upcoming Events
Burger King isn't king either. It did better than McDonald's, but worse than Wendy's, which by the way barely scraped the top 10.
But here are the five top joints, the ones that are apparently worth the animal slaughter and human cholesterol gains:
5) Smashburger
4) A&W restaurant
3) Fuddruckers
2) In-N-Out
1) Five Guys
And thankfully we have two of those places in the NYC area.
There's a Smashburger at 74 Dekalb Avenue in Brookllyn and Five Guys at various locations, including 196 Bleecker Street.
But I don't want something that's that popular, so I'll just go to the A&W in Ronkonkoma and be happy with its medium glow.
Besides, I've always wanted to see Ronkonkoma!

Worthy Effort
For several years, West Virginia University officials have made it a priority to keep students from wasting time and money by enrolling but dropping out before they obtain degrees. Little by little, WVU's efforts are paying off.
During the 2011-12 academic year, the university had an undergraduate graduation rate of 57 percent, up 2 percent from 2007-08.
But the graduation rate yardstick these days measures how many students gain bachelor's degrees in six years. Remember when B.A. and B.S. degree institutions were thought of as four-year colleges and universities?
WVU's rate of getting students in and out in four years is just 32 percent, according to U.S. News and World Report.
There are any number of reasons why some students take six years to earn degrees some of their classmates win in four years. Colleges and universities can do little about some of those factors, such as students who change majors in the middle of their academic careers. They can act to curb some challenges, such as availability of classes needed to graduate, however.
Finding ways to get more students out of colleges and universities with bachelor's degrees in fewer than six years should go hand in hand with campaigns to keep them from dropping out entirely. Those two additional years are costly – at least $30,000 for in-state students who depend on WVU for room and board.
WVU is West Virginia's flagship university, a leader in education, research, health care and other areas. Its program to boost the undergraduate graduation rate is praiseworthy and important – and has an impact on the four-year degree-earning rate as well as the six-year number.
Still, more success is needed on that four-year number.

As you may know, a foiled attempt to blow up Northwest Airlines flight 253 from Amsterdam as it approached its destination into Detroit on Christmas Day, left the world frightened and the TSA scrambling to try to figure out how to prevent such incidences from happening again. In case you're not up to speed, 23-year old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was intercepted by passengers as he tried to light an explosive device that he had hidden under his clothes. He was taken to the cabin and searched by the airline crew for additional weapons and then transferred to the hospital to be treated for minor burns that he incurred when the bomb's detonator failed to light. Abdulmutallab, who is of Nigerian descent, studied in London and Dubai, and has an otherwise clean record. He claims to have trained in Yemen with Al Qaeda. He was listed on a government "watch" list after his father alerted authorities that his son might be up to no good, but evidence had not been gathered to qualify him for the "no fly" list.
Following the incident, the TSA issued changes to security procedures, including two screening stages for all international travelers, the prohibition of in-flight entertainment (like our Live TV!) during the first and last hours of flight, no blankets during the last hour of the flight, and- perhaps most discomforting- the inability to leave one's seat during the last hour of flight.
The reactionary response was later revoked in part. Thankfully, we can now resume our normal offerings of Live TV on every flight, but Customers may experience longer waits at the security line and at the gate (we ask that all travelers arrive one additional hour early). We do assure everyone that they are free to use the restroom when they please!

Samsung GT-I9300 Galaxy S III Prototype Appears Again, This Time With Home Button
Over the past days we've seen a supposed video of the Galaxy S III in a hands on experience, a bunch of photos taken with the device and of the device and some benchmarks for the new flagship. The pics and first impressions were seriously underwhelming and now out of nowhere comes a prototype with a changed design…
This dummy unit is identified as the GT-I9300 Galaxy S III and strangely enough it has a physical Home Button. The leak comes from Chinese forum mobile01, that shows the image with greater clarity and this is clearly a device with an unfinished case. What's really strange is that the phone also has a virtual home button and actually 4 virtual buttons at the lower part of the screen. What happened to Google's recommendation to use only 3 such buttons, one being the Home, the other Back and the third the Multitasking button?
This probably means that we'll see other customizations, such as a new TouchWiz UI, but I still can't figure out if we'll have a physical Home button or not. I guess we don't need it, unless you're the traditional type who wants to keep the format of the previous Galaxy S models intact. Last I heard, people at Samsung were divided into two groups those who wanted the button and those who didn't and the former won the battle and implemented the design feature at the last moment.

Bush With The Goo Goo Dolls (Continued)
After "Machinehead," Rossdale's practically indecipherable British "What's up?" echoed throughout the giant room. Much to the foursome's obvious delight, the room full of excited fans cheered back at the frontman and his counterparts, Nigel Pulsford, Dave Parsons and Robin Goodridge. When the band played "Comedown" and "Alien," it was really incredible - almost a head-rush with colorful lights whirling all around. Rossdale's desperate plea to not "come back down from this cloud" seemed to fit the atmosphere. All the other songs were spectacular as well, with paintings by Francis Bacon in the background. The supposed show-closer was "Little Things," which was another where the crowd's thrill just added to the overwhelming excitement of the song.

Antoine-Jean, Baron Gros
1 record
Antoine-Jean, Baron Gros became David's pupil at the age of fourteen. Portraits, rather than classical subjects, became his trademark. His immensely successful career benefited from David's departure for exile in Brussels: already sought after during the empire, during the Bourbon restoration (1815–1830) Gros in essence replaced David as the most successful portrait painter in France. The posthumous portrait of Lieutenant Legrand was executed a year after the death of its subject, a young officer who perished in Madrid in 1809. Here, Gros not only alludes to David's great equestrian portraits (including that of Bonaparte crossing the Alps) but also to those of Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck, whom Gros much admired.

Our new elevator for Gullixson Hall finally arrived today! Just a few more weeks to go until you can "get a lift" to the Luther Seminary Library.
Tags: akeck001
Posted by akeck001 on 6/16/2014 8:42 AM
Last week marked the end of the demolition and start of building walls for the new elevator, followed quickly by rebuilding to put the building back in usable order. This next phase will be less noise and less debris, but you will occasionally notice shorter times of drilling and hammering.
Posted by akeck001 on 6/8/2014 11:16 AM
This week has been all about continuing to make room for the elevator shaft. This first picture is of the hole cut out between the roof and the 3rd floor ceiling. You can see the ceiling tiles, with the short wall above supporting the wood sheets that are temporarily keeping the elements out. The picture below shows another view of this hole as well as the hole in the floor connecting down to the 2nd floor.
Posted by akeck001 on 6/2/2014 10:24 AM
With temporary barriers erected and wall demolition completed, it's time to start building the new elevator shaft. At the basement level, they had to dig down another four feet for the elevator pit. Today they are putting cinder blocks in place to start building what will become the floor supports around the elevator shaft.
Considerable less privacy in the 2nd floor restroom (below) but new walls will be constructed toward the end!
Posted by akeck001 on 5/21/2014 10:27 AM
May 19th starts the Gullixson Hall Access Renovation Project. Daily construction hours will start after 7:00 AM and end before 6:00 PM. The scope of the work will be limited to the south side of the building, and separately, the elevator shaft and mechanical area of the stacks. The restrooms on the south side will be inaccessible during most of construction; the result being a new accessible restroom on first floor.
Safety barricades will be erected in several hallways and offices. Exterior areas of the building will also be cordoned-off for staging and storage. The west-most area of the parking lot will be reserved for Construction Parking. The lower entrance at the south side of the building will be heavily used for construction needs and will prove difficult to access during most days.
Although traffic patterns in Gullixson (and life in general) will be disrupted for the next four months (120 days or 94 working days) the end product should make us all proud of completing our long awaited ADA compliance.

Charleston, SC Visitor's Center A/V Display
First, sorry about this getting posted prematurely through the DLTJ blog. I was trying the post-from-Flickr function, and it was telling me that the posting wasn't working. So, it got posted here twice. And it got posted before I was ready; I was hoping it would land in the draft queue so I could edit it with further commentary. Oh, well; live and learn.
From Joshua Kim, Ideas for Working with Vendors
Joshua Kim, senior learning technologist and an adjunct in sociology at Dartmouth College, recently had a series of posts about working with software vendors. Although Joshua's focus is with learning technologies (course management systems, lecture capture systems, etc.), these are general enough to be useful in a variety of library environments as well. His posts, hosted by Inside Higher Ed, were:
- "A Manifesto for Vendor Webinars" (January 31, 2010)
- "5 Questions Your Company Must Answer" (March 4, 2010)
- "Toward a Product Evaluation Framework" (March 7, 2010)
Here are descriptions or excerpts from each of the posts.
"Mash-Up" Term is Over 150 Years Old!
Ron Murray, a colleague at the Library of Congress (and no known relation to me), sent me a note about the history of the term "mash-up" in the Oxford English Dictionary (subscription required). The definition of the first sense is "A mixture or fusion of disparate elements" with the notation that usage is rare before the late 20th century, and the OED includes this quotation:
1859D. BOUCICAULT Octoroon I. 13 He don't understand; he speaks a mash up of Indian, French, and Mexican.

On Being Fodder for Questionable Twitter Posts
Okay, I know this is starting to seem like an obsession, but I can't figure out why someone(s) would be constructing tweets that consist of my blog post headlines and links back to my postings. I'm wondering how wide spread this problem is, so I constructed a list of URLs to blog posts based on the Planet Code4Lib Atom feed and pointed them to the Ubervu service. Ubervu has a view into the Twitter firehose, and constructs reports of Twitter mentions of URLs. For instance, I can see all of the odd headline tweets for my previous postings through this service. I can then easily scan through the list for other people that seem to be affected by this strange phenomenon.
Why I Need Twitter Distillation Tools
The following may not be news to those who regularly hang out in Twitter-land, but the extent of the problem recently became clear to me: there is a bunch of spam in Twitter. More specifically, there appear to be robots that do nothing but scan the web for keywords and create tweets with links back to them. There appear to be some that value this service (judging by the number of followers of these Twitter users), but for me it just adds to the general clutter I find in Twitter.

Some Navel-Gazing: A Meta-Post about DLTJ
I usually don't post about the act of blogging itself (I wonder how many middle-aged blogs have a similar post), but the confluence of a couple of things caused me to look at DLTJ with a critical and curious eye. The first was the work by David Pattern in Measuring the emotional content of librar* blogs. The second was a post by Leslie Carr on the effect of Google users in finding information.

Administrative Note — Feeds Moved on FeedBurner
DLTJ uses the FeedBurner service to enhance its syndication feeds and gather statistics on readers. Several years ago, Google acquired FeedBurner and recently has begun the process of
forcing — errr — integrating users to the Google account structure. I completed the process, but it isn't entirely clear that it took hold (my transferred feed isn't showing up in my new Googlized FeedBurner dashboard). If you used to read DLTJ via an RSS/ATOM reader and noticed that you didn't see this post or any subsequent posts, please let me know.
