UGG Boots Size 8
UGG BootsSelling rare retired UUG boots. Boots are in great condition, I purchased them for $160 asking $100 OBO. There is nothing wrong with them, they just turned out not to be my style and I rarely wore them. They are beautiful with a slight Native American feel. I'd love to see them go to a good home. If you've never owned UGG boots before, they are super comfy and wear really well.Usually I m

Staff very friendly and helpful. WiFi only available at office and close proximity. No cell service. Sewer only available at select sites. Gravel roads need work. Permanent campers need to clean up around their sites. - Rickman
Apr 2016 - $17.00
The proprietors are super nice and extremely helpful. We were given a pull-thru, which was great, but up by the office there is clutter and things aren't as tidy as they should be - overturned trash cans, boxes, etc. I think camping in the back would be better for scenery, as it is a scenic place, but those are back-ins. For one night, the pull thru was great, but if you want to spend a few days, go towards the back. Also, they have their own unbundled firewood and they are very generous with it. That one fact made up for everything else. There is a nice pool, too. It was easy to get to, with excellent roads. - Autigerinnc70

We stayed for 4 days, and the staff was very friendly. They gave us a great site. It's a good location, and nice & quiet. Some of the sites didn't look like they were open yet, but it was early in the season. There were a number of seasonal renters. Some of their campsites were neat and clean. Others not so much. We would definitely stay here again! - Bruce R

This park is going to the dogs! Literally. They have geared this park for those of us that travel with our four legged friends. The deluxe sites have decks with and additional fenced area for the dogs to have some room to roam. Great that they don't have to be put on a run or tied up.
In addition, they have meet and greet nite - social fun, Brunch, and this year the Thanksgiving dinner was really nice. This is our second time at this park and we will return again and again and again! Bravo. - Sawtooth

Amazing place to stay where dogs can be dogs! Hosts go above and beyond expectations! Well kept grounds. Only thing that could've been better was wifi strength and cable clarity. But, it's the mountains, so......
The sites with dog yards and decks are fantastic! But if they're all booked, the ones without are great too...and they will let you put up your own enclosure!
We actually got excellent results with OTA TV though. We were there for a few days and then left to go on the rest of our trip which included Hilton Head Island. We were rerouted due to Hurricane Matthew.... so we ended up going back to 4PK to ride out the storm. It was perfect! Will absolutely go back! - doggpurr

Many seasonal/permanent campers, but there was plenty of room for all. The river rises and falls according to the dam water release decisions at Lake Lure, which is the upstream source of water. The owners live on site and are very friendly and helpful folks. Nights are quiet and everything works well. We will return. The campground is near a huge Ingle's Supermarket between Lake Lure and Rutherfordton, and the road south connects with new Highway #74 to Shelby and east, or I-26 going west. - onejimmiedog

This is a delightful small campground on the Broad River. We had no trouble backing our 34 ft. fifth wheel into our site. The owners also are on site and manage the park. The bathrooms, while basic, are obviously well tended. Tent sites are directly on the river. The main draw here is the river which runs quickly when the dam is open which is usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday. For a $10 per person you can rent a large tube and get shuttled up river for a two hour ride back. Five of us did it while we stayed here and then twelve family members returned while we attended a reunion close by. This is not a "resort" type place but more of a retreat. Even though the river is the main draw, this is safe, quiet, and rural. We stayed for six days and would gladly return. - TailsAwagging
Oct 2010 - $30.00
This park is located in a rural part of western NC, between the Broad River and a small creek. The owner-operators were very friendly. Most sites are shaded and level, about average size, with gravel pads for the rigs and concrete for the picnic tables. Most of the waterfront sites are reserved for monthlies. There's a dog walk area, playground, pet walk, and game room with pool tables. The park has propane. No dump station, but it appears that all of the RV sites are full hookup. The river flows at a trickle on weekends, and during the week the dam is opened upstream, which allows tubing and canoeing on the river. If you plan to come here for boating or fishing, be sure to call the park and verify the water flow for that day. - silvertube

Rutherford Mountain Campground in Union Mills, is a new campground. It's built on a graded ground, up a hill above the office. Sites are level, but close together. 8 full hookups are on one side of the entrance road, and 8 other sites with just water and electric are on the other side of the campground road. Several tent sites too. All sites have tables and fire ring, although tables were in bad shape. Sites are gravel with grass. Sewer hookups are in the front of the sites, making reaching the hole a stretch. I parked as far back as I could with the sewer hose extended, but the tongue of the camper was almost in the road. Had to park the tow vehicle behind the camper in the site. No trees/shade on the sites, but tent campers are back in the woods. This campground is off the main roads. 20 miles from I-40, 10 miles to 64/74, around 12 miles to Lake Lure on Bills Creek Road. Residence/office/bath house/pool are together, and looks great. Owner is friendly and answered questions. I called to ask about the campground before going, because I knew it was fairly new. Was told there was 3 more campers coming in for the weekend. Turns out,we were the only people there till late Saturday night when two couples came in with tents. Nothing else to do other than the pool. Good base for travel in the area, but price with nothing else to offer was a little high. Cash only, no credit/debit cards taken. Was told he would give us a discount on our next visit. Probably won't return because of the remote location. - bud121156

This park is big rig accessible. However, the interior roads are narrow. Most of the pull-thru sites are not level. Great for satellite service. Very close to the Freightliner Custom Chassis Factory in Gaffney. - Big Blue
Sep 2016 - $42.00
Stayed here while attending the Freightliner Chassis class. Called to inquire if we could arrive early and they were very accommodating in finding us a space where we didn't have to move mid-stay. Check-in was easy and we were escorted to our site. Can't say enough about the their customer service approach.
The park is quiet even though it is near I-85, no highway noise at all even though we had our windows open. Entrance is well marked and easy to find, although a little tricky exiting the freeway heading north. GPS wanted to turn us right at the intersection-wrong. Go straight through as though heading toward the entrance ramp, but bear right onto the frontage road. From the north, turn left at the intersection and bear right on the frontage road.
Some sites are in the trees, but these are mostly semi-permanent. Some sites are low at the front of the space. Had to park near the rear and to one side to get level. WIFI was pretty good (compared to most parks). For those who have dogs, there is an enclosed dog park for off-leash exercise. They also have pizza to go (made onsite) and well worth it if you don't feel like cooking. - 2sunkid
Aug 2016 - $42.00
My family and I stayed here one night on our way to Florida. Relatively easy access to the campground off of I-85 via a road that parallels I-85. The campground is behind an industrial type business. (As a point of reference only. It didn't effect the quality of our stay at all.)
The staff was very friendly, checked us in quickly and showed us to our site which was a very level pull through that was not wooded at all. I was pre-occupied with tow vehicle problems upon arrival and, therefore, we did not take advantage of any of their amenities. The park appeared quiet, clean and well maintained. We would stay here again. - HighCountry_trio

We just returned from AVF and we had a great time! This resort is conveniently located near major interstates, but the last few miles into the resort can be challenging depending on time of day and weather conditions. Slow down, pay attention, and you'll be fine. When you turn into the resort, stop and grab your welcome pack. Hopefully, you will have studied the site map on their website in advance, as there is no one to guide you to your site. The site you have chosen will determine which way you turn to navigate to your site. Worst case if you decide to just wing it is you make a victory lap of the resort and have to start over. We were there during the Fall Owners Rally and we met several owners. They welcomed us into their "family" and were exceptionally gracious and accommodating. The resort really is as pretty as the pictures. Being there in mid-October we were treated to beautiful fall colors and cool temperatures. As each site is individually owned, there are a wide variety of amenities and upgrades amongst the different sites. Some are spectacularly landscaped and fitted out with waterfalls, fire pits, grills, decks, furniture, gazebos, etc. A couple are just a concrete slab with a couple of plants in need of a little TLC. We stayed on two different sites during our 10-day stay. The first was site 150. One of the premier lots in the resort overlooking the lake with its own private waterfall. After the first week we wanted to stay longer, but being prime leaf-peeping season the resort was sold out. Luckily, one of the owners contacted another owner and we were able to move to site 155. Great back-in lot with a terrific lake/mountain view. AVF is beautiful, a reasonable drive from Florida, the people we met were delightful. We'll be back! - Vettesniper

This location is strictly a Class A motorhome camp ground. They have strict rules as to the minimum size (36') and age of the motorhome (nothing older than 10 years). All lots are privately owned but are rented through the Rumbling Bald Resort at Lake Lure. For the price of the rental you have full access to the resort which includes golf course, pool, restaurants, spas, walking and hiking trails, private lake access, marina, amongst other amenities. The motorhome park is outside the main resort gate, however this is a good thing as the motorhome resort is quiet, very clean and well maintained. All are full hook up sites, with concrete pads and many of the sites come with wood decks, outdoor fireplaces, benches, swings, etc. This sites are very lush and hide most of the motorhomes quite well, while you can see some of them it is hard to see all of them, thus also making it a very private location. If the price of admission doesn't scare you off, then this is a really beautiful place to stay, within an hour of Asheville, many hiking trails, Chimney Rock, and other mountain attractions. The town of Lake Lure also offers more restaurants, shopping at Chimney Rick village, and picnic areas, plus a beautiful lake beach. Acceptable wifi, no cable, but satellite reception at least on our site was excellent. - LucyS
Jun 2016 - $70.00
This small RV resort is quiet, private, and just our style. Because it is part of the Rumbling Bald Resort at Lake Lure (a short 3/4 mile away) you have access to all their amenities--golfing, swimming, boating, dining. Apple Valley itself does not have amenities other than a lovely small lake. All lots are privately owned, with level concrete pads, open above (good if you use satellite) but thickly landscaped on the sides to provide shade and nice privacy screening. WiFi can be slow. No cable. Small laundry room and one bathroom with shower available. People were very friendly and helpful. Be sure to follow driving directions given on website and not your GPS. Last part of the drive (about 20 miles) is on windy roads and some are not friendly to motor homes! Would definitely return. - Rv quilter

This park is in a large open field with a gravel road leading to a few sites. The gravel parking pads are narrow and not very level. There are no fire rings at the sites and only a few scattered wooden picnic tables. There is a covered pavilion and small playground set in the center of the field. We got our 40ft Class A leveled with some difficulty using our jack pads. Getting a satellite view was no problem as the only trees are the ones that surround the field. This is one of the few RV parks in the area where you can get Sprint phone and 3G service. Bathroom and showers are OK but not cleaned daily. There is also a coin washer/dryer. The owner is friendly, helpful and has lots of local knowledge about the area. He does have a rule of no drugs, alcohol, or firearms allowed in the park and he doesn't take credit cards for payment. There is no road noise and the park is very quiet except when the train comes by. The tracks run along one side of the park and when the train passes the engineer blows the horn, sometimes often and long. - Road Train

We made a reservation to stay here and had a late arrival. Upon arrival we were given a site number and sent along our way. The first site we saw had a broken down truck on it with flat tires and cans running over in the bed. The bath house didn't look like anything I would let my children go in. Lot's of campers looked like they had been there for ages. The roads were rough and in need of repair. We decided to leave, and as we pulled up to the office there were two people outside, and the first thing I heard was, "What's wrong" and not in a friendly way. I informed them it wasn't what was advertised, and the male told the female to give us our money back. She complained and gripped the entire time trying to make me feel like I had done something wrong. Never did get a refund since I made an online reservation. I hope these people get this place cleaned up; it looked as if it could be a really nice campground with some work. Most of all I hope the lady there gets a better attitude towards customers. - User1595

Owner decided to put us in a site next to her house outside of the main camping area. We thought that we were in the overflow area, but discovered the next morning that less then a third of the campground were in use and of those sites in use most were permanent setups. Why she put us in the site she did is beyond me, but as we were only going to be there one additional night it would have been more trouble to move to a different site. The site we were in provided no appreciable camping experience. As we said, the site was located in the owner's side yard. We couldn't use the picnic table because it was within 3 feet of the sewer access and was a child size setup. Our view on that side of the travel trailer was of a metal garden shed butted up to the pad the picnic table was on, an old mobile home being used as storage or a workshop, a rusting pickup truck and a gaggle of rusting lawn equipment. We were so close to the road that ran up into the main camping area that we could not deploy our awing or light a fire due to concerns that it might interfere with traffic. Though the campground was fairly quiet the weekend we were there, there was evidence of 4 wheelers and dirt bikes having been run through various campsites in the main area. As for the amenities, the swimming pool was one that you would have in the back yard of your home, the putt putt golf setup was less than 5 holes, we didn't see the game room which was housed in a metal building. The camp store where we checked in was dirty and clearly in need of being spruced up. This is a family run campground and we got the impression that the family might have taken on more than they could easily take care of. The campground roads and some of the sites were in need of scraping and regraveling and our site plus the site next to us should not exist. The owners also have a u-haul franchise set up at the entrance and their whitewater equipment as well. There was little if any evidence of security and people roamed the area all day and night. We will not be going back to this campground as we do not feel that we were treated to a good camping experience. The owners do not seem to care much about their campground or their customers. With a lot of TLC this campground could be spectacular, but I am doubtful it will happen. - cottagecrafters

We camped at this campground over Memorial Day Weekend in 2000, 2001, and 2002 and never saw the owner being disrespectful to anyone. That being said, he ran a tight ship and seemed to be everywhere. We drove through Lake Lure on August 13, 2005 and everything in the campground is gone. The office, buildings, cabins, nothing remains. Grass is growing where the buildings used to be. We really liked this campground and it made us a little sad to see it closed. - Lee W

Causation and Risk in the Law of Torts
By R Goldberg
This book provides a comparative account of thee legal and scientific issues relating to proof of causation in cases of alleged drug-induced injury, principally in Europe and North America. It seeks to assess whether, by using probabilistic approaches, the courts may more accurately determine the cause of adverse reactions contentiously associated with drugs. In four case studies (DES, Bondoctin, vaccine damage and Gulf War Syndrome), the deficiencies of orthodox approaches to causation are revealed. A sustained argument is presented in favor of applying greater weight to epidemiological statistics, as refined by the application of the Bayes' Theorem. A valuable feature of this book is the discussion of the role of expert witnesses, including an examination of how the author's proposals could be accommodated with the reformed civil process envisaged by the Woolf Report. Goldberg also examines the economic implications of these proposals. The book is a timely contribution to the resolution fo the legal problems in this complex area of tort law.

ou may have noticed the headline earlier this month, that analysts working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now forecast that 42 percent of Americans may be obese by 2030 (up from 36 percent in 2010) and that 11 percent could be severely obese. The medical costs of obesity are extraordinary -- $147 billion a year, at the current level. What role does the institution of sports play in addressing this national crisis, by creating opportunities for physical activity for children and adults? This is a central question that we are building conversations around with the Aspen Institute's Sports & Society Program. So, I thank you for joining us today for what promises to be an exciting and catalytic dialogue about confronting the barriers to sport participation that face perhaps the most underserved population in sports. That would be girls from disadvantaged communities and homes, who, not coincidentally, get the least amount of exercise as well. More than four out of 10 African American teenage girls, for instance, do not get even one hour of physical activity per week; the federal government recommends one hour per day. Helping more girls fall in love with sports and develop health and fitness patterns for life is critical to the future of the nation. We will continue the conversations about health and sports at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, Colo., where from June 27-30 the AIF will host for the first time a sports track. Speakers will address such topics as the concussion crisis in football, college sports at a crossroads, and, as a prelude to the London Games, the role of the Olympic movement in the U.S. Then, at the Aspen Institute Children's Forum from July 22-24 in Aspen, where 350 philanthropists and leaders in pediatric medicine will be asked to imagine a world in which the needs of children are put first, I will moderate a session on the risks and benefits of youth sports. Other Sports & Society programming will follow, most notably a multi-day summit at the Aspen Meadows resort in April 2013 that will present a deep-dive opportunity for 60 to 70 key stakeholders to identify opportunities to work together to get and keep more children active in sports. Invited guests to the Sport for All, Play for Life Summit will include leaders from the realms of sport, media, policy, academia and medicine. The Institute has received a generous grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to underwrite the event. We welcome your thoughts, as we facilitate perhaps the most important conversation in sports.

TiTle iX and Beyond:
How Do we Get tHe Rest of ouR GiRls into tHe Game?
n June 23, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon signed into law the statute known as Title IX, declaring, "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." That year, there were about 294,000 roster spots on high school teams filled by girls. By 2011, that number had grown to 3.1 million. On the eve of its 40th anniversary, Title IX merits recognition as the most effective tool at growing athletic participation opportunities since the advent of organized youth sports itself more than a century ago – by simply opening up sports in America to the non-male half of our population. The benefits to our society have been numerous. We know from research that girls and women who play sports are less likely to become obese or develop heart disease. They have higher levels of confidence, and lower levels of depression. They have lower rates of teen pregnancy and drug use. They get better grades and are more likely to graduate. They learn about teamwork, goal-setting and other skills that can help them in the workplace. As the Women's Sports Foundation notes on its website, "It is no accident that 80 percent of female executives at Fortune 500 companies identified themselves as former 'tomboys' – having played sports." Yet, most girls still miss out on the experience. Access to sports depends in large part on where a girl happens to live. Girls in the South and West have the fewest opportunities, as you can see in charts on the next page. And the participation rate for girls in rural areas and towns is twice that of those in urban areas (25 percent). Here in Washington D.C., it's been as low as six percent. The barriers to participation for disadvantaged girls are many – from inequitable access to parks to a lack of role models and affordable club programs – but so are the opportunities for progress. Today's symposium, featuring basketball star Maya Moore and an stellar set of speakers, explores breakthrough ideas and strategies in an effort to find scalable solutions for these girls, including the eight million who live in poverty. It starts a dialogue about extending the promise of Title IX to all American girls.

The following charts were created for the Aspen Institute's Sports & Society Program by the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, which collects annual participation data through an annual online survey of more than 38,000 households. The first chart reflects the participation rate for girls under age 18, based on their household income, in each of the most popular sports.
Here's how often girls from income groups played at least one of the sports:

School of Architecture professors to retire after 26 years of service
June 10th, 2014 Comments Off on School of Architecture professors to retire after 26 years of service
Two longtime professors in the School of Architecture will retire this summer after twenty-six years of service. David C. Lewis, Ph.D., and Rachel McCann, Ph.D., will both retire at the end of June. Lewis joined the School of Architecture faculty as a visiting assistant professor in 1988. He served as an associate professor from 1994-2007, was interim director of the School of Architecture from 2006-2007 and was promoted to full professor in 2007. He represented the College of Architecture, Art and Design from 2008-2013 as associate dean and most recently was the interim director of the Building Construction Science Program. Lewis was the recipient of the National Educator Honor Award AIAS for the 1988-1989 academic year. In 2005, he received the College of Architecture, Art and Design Faculty Research Award, and he was also the recipient of the prestigious ACSA Faculty Award from the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, the association's top teaching honor. McCann joined the School of Architecture in 1988 as assistant professor. She served as an associate professor from 1994-2007, and she was promoted to full professor in 2007. For the past 10 years, she has been the coordinator of the history/theory curriculum in the school, giving rise to numerous invitations to present workshops, critiques and lectures around North America on the subject. McCann was appointed to the international Board of Directors of the Merleau-Ponty Circle, one of the top philosophical societies in the world. In 2010, she was the recipient of the prestigious Grisham Master Teacher award, Mississippi State University's top teaching honor. Also in 2010, she was named Outstanding Faculty Member of the Mississippi Association of Colleges and Universities. Currently, McCann has three books in the works with top-tier publishers. "David and Rachel's significance started when they became key players in furthering the development of the phenomenological curriculum at MSU, making it one of the earliest curriculums to embrace experiential design-theory in the architectural academy," said Michael Berk, F.L. Crane Professor and director of the School of Architecture. "Many programs subsequently have been modeled after it. "As senior members of the faculty, their leadership and knowledge will be greatly missed." "When a school hires new assistant professors, the ultimate goal is for them to develop, over time, their own thoughts and expertise and then be able to use those to influence, in a most positive way, the pedagogy and direction of the school," said Jim West, dean of the College of Architecture, Art and Design. "This is an elite goal, but in fact both David and Rachel have accomplished this in the School of Architecture. Their individual contributions to the foundational structure of the architecture curriculum are indelible. While their continued input will be missed, the school will continue to benefit from the rich heritage of their design thinking." A lunch celebration was held for McCann on June 25. See the photos:

Lynch syndrome, an autosomal dominant multicancer disorder, is the most common form of hereditary colorectal cancer, has a prevalence of 0.9% to 2.7%,1 and also accounts for approximately 2.3% of all endometrial cancers.2 However, patients with Lynch syndrome are frequently unrecognized because family history is often not fully assessed, and patients most commonly have few or no colorectal polyps, as opposed to the more easily identifiable polyposis syndromes. Patients with Lynch syndrome present with cancer at a relatively young age and they are at a higher risk of developing more than 1 type of cancer. The most common extracolonic tumors arise from the endometrium, stomach, ovary, small bowel, and urinary tract.3

However, I am quickly reminded that I am not… When I turn over, trying to grab for Ryan Reynolds' man boobs… Only to embrace… Filbert. I'm not the only one who sometimes thinks they're something they're actually not… This tomato thinks it's [Read On!]
Recipe Redux: Lets Go Skinny Dipping!
I recently got in trouble with the law… Now while my parents aren't exactly PROUD of me for this… I think I might actually hang my mug shot on the wall… As you can see by my booking photo, I was caught skinny dipping… But Justin Bieber made me do it!! Ugh, the peer pressure of Hollywood… I cannot believe he and I could get in trouble for going nude, but… Nicki Minaji can get away with wearing this monstrosity. Is [Read On!]
A "Zesty" Take on Eclairs!
As I have mentioned in previous posts, my mind… Is like a bowling ball in the gutter at a bowling alley. And when I think of the oh so flaky, yet thick and gooey éclair pastry… My mind throws gutter balls worse than a blindfolded kangaroo hopping on one foot would. I think the French created this pastry so my mind (and yours too?) can have immature field days whenever I think about this oblong, cream filled "delicacy". However, as some of you [Read On!]
Tara Reid Eats Too Many Creamsicles
Tara Reid and Creamsicles have a lot of similar not so sexy attributes… But to name just two… They're both orange (most of the time)… And… They're both full of artificial chemicals and ingredients. Sorry Tara, I just couldn't resist. If the saying, "you are what you eat" is true… Then Tara must be subsisting solely on Creamsicles (okay, and maybe Cheetos as well). Sadly, I don't think I will be able to save Tara from her demons, however, all is not lost for the [Read On!]
What The Fudge?
Non-Organic, Non Grass-Fed, Non-Fat Milk… Ew… What the FUDGE! Maltodextrin… Der… What the FUDGE! Asparatame… Okay, SERIOUSLY… What the FUDGE! I am so over these pseudo low-fat "healthy treats" that trick people into buying them because of their flashy "I'm so healthy" labels/claims… I am over them as much as I am over hearing about Kim Kardashian posting ass provocative selfies on Instagram.

The US Patent and Trademark Office officially published a series of 41 newly granted patents for Apple Inc. today. In this particular report we cover a major win for an advanced sensor-based user interface that could apply to a future iPhone, desktop display/monitor or even a television. The invention, if implemented, would enable a user to interact with a display at quite a distance. In a desktop application, as a user moves physically away from their desktop, the system will automatically switch from mouse controls to that of hand gesturing controls if the user so choses to do so. In theory, if applied to a TV scenario, the user would be able to use hand gesturing to control TV functionality without a remote. With new 3D depth cameras coming to market in late 2014, Apple may be able to further fine-tune such a unique system.

Trump = Hitler? Nah.

From Christopher Clark, The Sleepwalkers:
1,382 more words
Like Nicholas II, Wilhelm frequently—especially in the early years of his reign—bypassed his responsible ministers by consulting with 'favourites', encouraged factional strife in order to undermine the unity of government, and expounded views that had not been cleared with the relevant ministers or were at odds with prevailing policy.

3. Overview We began our site redesign project by:
Setting goals and priorities for the project
Conducting usability studies
Initial goals included:
Streamlining content, structure, and layout
Giving the site a new look and feel ? making the site more intuitive, aesthetically appealing, in-tune with the University�s new web site design
Utilizing new techniques and technology for displaying content (cascading menu and database-driven pages) to improve accuracy/currency and simplify maintenance
4. Overview Difficult to navigate
Developed over many years
No navigational structure ~ developed ad hoc
Hundreds of pages
Difficult to update
Too many link
Too word
Inconsistent style
Changes in campus web server operating systems
Unix to Windows 2000 (SQL)
Improve ADA compliance
5. Problem Statements Library Web
Does the Web site structure, content, and vocabulary used within the existing Library Web make it easy for users to locate information resources and library services?
Article Databases
Does the layout and structure of the existing online database pages make it easy to choose and use appropriate resources?
6. Addressing User Needs Can users find appropriate paths to their information using the links on the Library Web site?
Do users understand the terminology used on the Library Web site?
Does our perception of what is useful to students match the actual use pattern of our users?
Do users find the Library Web site a professional design?
Do users find the Library Web site an aesthetically pleasing?
7. Addressing Developer Concerns What technologies can be used to make the Library Web site easier to maintain?
How can we streamline the Library Web development and maintenance workflow?
How can we consolidate structure redundancy in the Library Web?
How can we ensure that pages throughout the Library Web have a consistent look and feel?
8. Conducting Usability Studies
9. Why Usability Studies? Focus on user needs
Ask the user if the Web site is easy to use
Follow usage patterns rather than make assumptions
Iterative process
Design the Web site
Test it with the users
Redesign from test results
Repeat if necessary
10. Usability Study Methods Pre-Test Surveys
Paper and web-based versions to enlist volunteers
Key issue?matching test users to campus demographics
Formal Usability Testing
Users given common tasks
Observe users� behavior (users speak aloud)
Open-ended debriefing questions at end of session
Four to six users enough to find major flaws
Tested existing Web site and will test new design
11. Realities of Administration Labor intensive
Sub-group of five members plus two administrative assistants
Difficult to get two members to observe and record
Original plan: one moderator, two observers (happened infrequently)
Massive amount of data to be recorded and entered
12 test and 8 debriefing questions multiplied by 17 users equaled 340 cells of information
Audio-recorded sessions for clarification
12. Recruiting Test Users (Initial Test of Old Site) Much more difficult than anticipated
200+ volunteers�still had difficulty filling slots
Planned to use four groups of five
Lower division, upper division, graduate, faculty/staff/other
Of 20, only half participated
Contacted 40 people for 17 slots
Met demographic goals for college and gender
Did not meet demographic goals
Status, age, ethnicity, non-native English speakers
Offered inducements � copy cards and food
Grant funded
13. Testing Checklist Purpose statements
Problem statements/questions
Human subject requirements?
Draft standard documentation � forms and scripts
Recruit users
Train observers / pre-test questions
Schedule sessions
Administer tests
Analyze data
14. Realities of Testing Questions asked almost as important as answers
Some questions were leading
In reality, difficult to test the research "process"
Users do processes not tasks
Can only quantify "tasks"
Requires both quantitative and qualitative analysis
15. Key Findings (Initial Test of Old Site) Native vs. non-native English speakers
Non-native speakers had difficulty with 47.2% of answers
Native speakers had difficulty with 30.3% of answers
Experienced Internet users less critical of the site
Users ignored graphics and scanned text
No one used help screens Faculty and staff were only group to claim to use them
16. More Key Findings (Initial Test of Old Site) Questions missed by at least half of users
What is the title of any newspaper article about Jack Lemmon?
Where can you find the magazine Sports Illustrated?
Where can you find information online showing how to do your research paper�s reference list in MLA format?
List three databases for finding journal articles in accounting.
17. Usability Testing (Initial Test of New Site) Problem questions improved, but...
What is the title of any newspaper article about Jack Lemmon? ? 71.4% in new site vs. 94.1% in old site
List three databases for finding journal articles in accounting ? 42.9% missed in new site vs. 47.1% in old site
8 of 12 questions missed by 1 or 0 users
2 of the 4 problem questions (missed 50+% in old site) were correctly answered by all users
18. Issues Identified by Usability Studies Confusing language / terminology
Too busy / text heavy / link heavy
Lack of consistent look and feel on all pages
�What�s New� graphics viewed as ads and ignored
Needs a search feature
Database page layout was hard to use and time-consuming to update
Improve overall navigational structure
Category �headers� ignored by some, others thought they should be links to secondary pages
19. Improving ADA Accessibility
20. Cal State LA Students with Disabilities Fall Quarter 2001 Enrollment
Total number: 461
Communication 11 2.3%
Deaf 4 0.87%
Learning 186 40.35%
Mobility 163 35.36%
Visually Impaired/Blind 26 4.33%
?Data from the Campus Office for Students with Disabilities
21. Our Approach Evaluated the Library Web for ADA Compliance
Bobby 3.2
Encouraged by University and Library Administration
Asked Users to Help with Testing
Relied on Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) staff for their expertise regarding the needs and abilities of our students
Invited visually impaired or blind users who rely on screen readers to test our site
22. Examples of Errors Identified Acronyms
CSULA (sounds like Roman dictator Sula)
ILL (sounds like ill)
Labels needed in forms
23. What We Learned Include accessibility assessment in the planning and design process
Develop ADA compliance checklists or follow latest guidelines
Build strong partnerships with the disabled community
Rely on OSD expertise regarding students needs and abilities
Invite visually impaired users to test site
Utilize available accessibility tools
24. Usage Statistics Number of page "hits"
Types of pages requested
Top pages / top documents accessed
Length of time users stayed on site or individual pages (stickiness)
26. Streamlining Content, Structure, and Layout
27. Why a New Structure? Address problems identified in usability study
Number of links
Use of �confusing� words
Reduce redundant redundancy in content
Prioritize information
Provide multiple paths when appropriate
28. Issues Identified by Usability Studies Confusing language / terminology
Too busy / text heavy / link heavy
Lack of consistent look and feel on all pages
�What�s New� graphics viewed as ads and ignored
Needs a search feature
Database page layout was hard to use and time-consuming to update
Improve overall navigational structure
Category �headers� ignored by some, others thought they should be links to secondary pages
29. Streamlining Content Category chart
Card sorting
Database driven approach
30. Old Library Web (Homepage)
32. Objectives Re-categorize content / links on homepage and reduce the number of links
Integrate a searching capability by implementing a search engine, and FAQs
Provide a consistent navigational structure
Use database-driven pages to manage 140+ online resources
Implement style sheets and templates for easy maintenance and updating
Reduce content redundancy
Remove library jargon, and simplify terminology
33. Card Sorting Exercise
34. New Library Web Homepage Menu
35. The Design Phase
36. Issues Identified by Usability Studies Confusing language / terminology
Too busy / text heavy / link heavy
Lack of consistent look and feel on all pages
�What�s New� graphics viewed as ads and ignored
Needs a search feature
Database page layout was hard to use and time-consuming to update
Improve overall navigational structure
Category �headers� ignored by some, others thought they should be links to secondary pages
38. Redesign Process Examined commercial & library web sites for design concepts, color schemes, navigational approaches, etc.
Exchanged URLs and ideas ? lots of �virtual� brainstorming!
Design sub-group created numerous mock-ups
44. Other Influences at Work Campus home page design and departmental design standards were about to change�
Wanted basic look and feel of the Library home page to reflect new campus header and color scheme
Encouraged to adopt a cascading menu (similar to new campus page) and include a multi-source search box
49. OPAC Interface Received Favorably
50. Database page went from a frameset . . .
51. To a model inspired by the VMI Library's SourceFinder page . . .
52. Utilizing New Techniques and Technology
53. Issues Identified by Usability Studies Confusing language / terminology
Too busy / text heavy / link heavy
Lack of consistent look and feel on all pages
�What�s New� graphics viewed as ads and ignored
Needs a search feature
Database page layout was hard to use and time-consuming to update
Improve overall navigational structure
Category �headers� ignored by some, others thought they should be links to secondary pages
54. Techniques We Wanted to Utilize Dynamically resizable headers
Dynamic HTML
Creating rollover menus
Database-driven Web pages
Current technologies
Alternate approaches
55. Resizable Headers Could not center homepage
Rollover menus must be placed precisely
Could not find the left side of centered page
Needed page to resize to fit browser
Left justified non-resizable pages � ugly
Header problem
Could center non-resizable header � ugly
Use resizable cells
56. Resizable Headers Split header into 5 sections
3 graphics
2 resizable cells
Fill resizable cell with 1 pixel wide graphic
graphic stretches to fill cell
57. Resizable Headers (Code)

59. Dynamic HTML Allows graphical effects in response to mouse / keyboard
rollover menus on homepage
mouseovers for OPAC tabs
dynamic examples in OPAC
Difficult to create
combination of HTML and JavaScript
proprietary implementation in older browsers (e.g., NS4, IE4)
modern browsers use same code
Developed cross-browser method
used techniques from various sources
60. Key to Cross-Browser I function DetermineType()
if (document.getElementById)
styleRef="\'\).style."; }
{if (document.all)
{if (document.layers)
return false}
61. Key to Cross-Browser II ShowLevel3(0)
for (i=1;i<=4;i++)
eval(layerRef + "Level20" + i + styleRef + "visibility=\'hidden\'")
eval("OffImg('Level101', 'L10" + i + "', '01000" + i + "')")
if (iVis>0)
eval(layerRef + "Level" + iVis + styleRef + "visibility=\'visible\'")
62. Cross-Browser Dynamic HTML
63. About Cascading Menus
64. Rollover Menu Cross-Browser Problems Can be done
requires using two graphics per menu item (138 total)
lots of time to create graphics
difficult to maintain
load times of over one minute at 56k
text based menus
web page loads quickly (~15 secs. @ 56k)
easy maintenance
only works with W3C compliant browsers
IE5+, NS6+, Mozilla 1+, Opera 7+
must create text alternate for older browsers
65. About Database-Driven Web Technologies Four major technologies
ASP � Active Server Pages
JSP � Java Server Pages
CFM � ColdFusion
Web pages work the same
psuedo-tags inserted
evaluated by server
results inserted in page
66. ASP (Active Server Pages) Most popular
Windows-only operating system
Uses IIS Web Server
security concerns
can use Personal Web Server for small sites
Development tools available
Cost of technology built into operating system
67. JSP (Java Server Pages) Fairly popular
All operating systems (UNIX, Windows, Linux, etc.)
Available for most web servers
Few development tools
high geek factor
Moderate cost
68. PHP Gaining popularity
Linux, UNIX and Windows
Windows is least supported
Apache Web Server only
No development tools
high geek factor
Free!!! (http://www.php.net/downloads.php)
69. CFM (ColdFusion) Popular in large organizations
Most operating systems
Most web servers
Development tools available
extra cost (DreamWeaver)
Very expensive
70. Which One? Which one does your organization use?
internal support
reduced cost
Development tools available
used FrontPage to create pages
What is your server & platform?
Windows � ASP
No money � PHP
71. FrontPage SQL Code Generated for One Table
72. Yet More Problems Access to server
requires special access
only certain software can load pages
SQL virus
yet another Microsoft specific virus
infected our campus server
activation of new server postponed indefinitely
Translated dynamic page output to static page
and waited for the SQL Server to be reopened
and waited
and waited �.. (may never be used)
73. Alternative Approaches I
74. Alternative Approaches ~ Headers and Footers
75. Alternative Approaches II Invented a new way � Active Client Pages
Desperation is the mother of invention
Uses only JavaScript
Downloads database to client
Processes on client machine, not server
Yes, it's
76. Active Client Page ~ Database Simple set of JavaScript arrays
Text file
edit with Notepad
easily updated
smaller size than standard database files
77. Active Client Page ~ Database Example WebPage[2] = "/library/hmpgs/sbreivo/index.htm";
Name[2] = "Breivold, Scott";
Job[2] = "Media, Communications, & Arts Librarian";
Ext[2] = "6094";
Room[2] = "3019 North";
Mail[2] = "[email protected]";
Status[2] = "Faculty";
WebPage[38] = "/library/hmpgs/ssotton.htm";
Name[38] = "Sottong, Stephen";
Job[38] = "Engineering, Computer Science, Technology & Psychology Librarian";
Ext[38] = "5168";
Room[38] = "1025 A North";
Mail[38] = "[email protected]";
Status[38] = "Faculty";
78. Active Client Page ~ HTML
