text: Walked out with a Gen 4 GLock 23 :) I really did have every intention of buying the 642 but my local shop had them on sale and were out. The upside is they gave me a rain check on it so when they come back in stock I cant get one for the sale price. I took my new 23 to the range, gave it a quick clean and put 200 rounds through it. VERY nice shooter. I have to admit that the dual recoil assembly does lighten up the .40 a noticeable bit. The gen 4's are also very comfortable in my hand as opposed to the gen 3's which I felt were designed for some other species. Overall I am very impressed. I can see this quickly becoming my cooler weather carry and my SP-101 becoming my warm weather carry. And the best part about it is I already of a CBST to fit it!

Ventricular enlargement in pediatric TBI is a common observation in clinical practice, yet volumetric studies of ventricle volume are sparse. In this study, MRIs and neuropsychological testing were performed on children who had sustained a traumatic brain injury (n=38) and control children (n=34) between the ages of six and eighteen years. Children with traumatic brain injury (mean GCS=9.0) were evaluated at two time points (time one: mean=55 days post injury, n=38; time two: mean=324 days post injury, n=21). Results revealed that ventricular enlargement and deficits in cognitive function were present in the TBI group during both the semi-acute (<6 months post injury) and chronic (>6 months post injury) phases of injury (as compared to typically developing controls). Furthermore, ventricular enlargement and cognitive function during the semi-acute phase of injury were correlated with initial injury severity (as measured by the Glasgow Coma Scale). Additionally, lateral ventricle volume and third ventricle volume were correlated with the executive composite during the semi-acute phase of injury. During the chronic phase of injury, only third ventricle volume (not lateral ventricle volume) was significantly correlated with the executive and memory composites. Examination of the longitudinal data revealed that third ventricle volume significantly decreased between times one and two, while cognitive function significantly improved. Finally, results of regression analyses revealed that third ventricle enlargement at time one was the best predictor of cognitive function at time two. Our results reiterate the importance of longitudinal designs in pediatric TBI and indicate the utility of third ventricle volume in the semi-acute phase of injury as a predictor of neuropsychological function.

On the Cusp of a Credibility Gap
August 21, 2006,
Time for yet another market week post-mortem. And actually, despite the fears and tremblings of some naysayers, it was a very lively market.
But more importantly, there were a number of topics that came to the fore during the week.
It looks like we're on the cusp of a new credibility challenge that will make thread counts seem like child's play.
The new challenge? Organic products for the home, and their next of kin: eco-friendly textiles.
More than once during market week were folks identifying so-called organic stuff and at the same time admitting that the dyes and finishing processes were not organic, thus negating the use of "organic" cotton.
Then there's the whole category of eco-friendly stuff —ranging from recycled soda bottles (a process that has been around for decades), trees and other stuff that grows and can be renewed, and just some figments of peoples' imaginations that make some plausible argument for helping the environment.
What seems to be happening is that the major retail players are becoming more and more involved in the testing and marketing of this stuff.
As consumer watchdog groups become more aggressive in identifying the good and the bad, these major retailers will be the lightning rods for consumer action if the stuff isn't as promoted.
Interestingly, as strong a conversation point as the organic scenario is, there is yet another growing area: performance fibers and fabrics with benefits for almost everything from built-in warmth and cold, to skin-softening, to catering to the perceived frailties of aging baby boomers who are increasingly "health-addicted."
The plethora of hypo-stuff now invading the home textiles world should be interesting to watch as a marketing exercise.

Stevens: New Mexico Lobo Volleyball -- 2012 Season Review
Jan. 6, 2013
New Mexico Lobos Volleyball - 2012 Season Review.
By Richard Stevens - Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
In figuring out the most valuable personnel on the 2012 New Mexico Lobo volleyball team there are several names to toss out:
1. Chantale Riddle for her pure talent and all-around court production.
2. Miquella Lovato for her courageous back-court heroics.
3. Jordan Russell for extraordinary leadership.
4. Or maybe the Lobo team doctors and trainers.
There were tongue-in-cheek comments about how Yvonne Sanchez's team bus a season back had a red flasher on top and an orthopedic surgeon inside. There was too much truth to that statement to get too many chuckles out of the Lobos' women's basketball coach.
In the fall of 2012, Lobo Coach Jeff Nelson and his young volleyball team could have borrowed that same team bus and nobody would have given it a second thought (but maybe a second red flasher).
His team was hit hard by injury and it's a testament to his program -- and the 2012 team -- that these bruised and broken young Lobos hung in to produce a 20-win season.
It's not that these Lobos weren't talented enough to roll out that record and roll out a Johnson Center beating of Colorado State. Obviously, they were. However, the setbacks these Lobos took on the court due to injury and player loss bordered on downright cruelty - physically and maybe psychologically.
"There are only so many times kids can see it without it having a huge impact," said Nelson during the season after Ashley Newman was helped off the court after a season-ending knee injury.
Newman wasn't the first Lobo to be helped off the court. You probably would have to go back and look at film to accurately make that count. Heck, Lovato was lost once to food poisoning and once to a collision with a wooden bleacher in warm-ups.
The Lobos were down three players and two games when Colorado State came to visit and the Lobos rallied for the dramatic, Ram-stunning 3-2 win. UNM had to play the powerful Rams without Elsa Krieg, Ashley Kelsey and Sara Stelzer. Eventually, Nelson had about 25 percent of his roster on the permanently injured list.
"It would have been nice to have it all together all year and really see what we could do," said Nelson. "It's got to be pretty stressful when you are creating a lineup 30 minutes before a match. You have to give these girls a lot of credit for their perseverance. It can be a little chaotic when lineups are constantly changing."
Nelson persevered, too. His Lobo fought. His Lobos won a lot of games. Sure, the injuries eventually were too critical and hurt UNM's won-lost record. But this was a young team that marched into the season with a whole lot of question marks simply because of their youth.
The 20-win season might have been an overachievement for a healthy Lobo squad. For a battered and bruised pack of young Lobos, it was an amazing season of accomplishment and gut checks. At one point, UNM was 17-4.
"Even with everyone healthy, I don't know if I'd have expected us to finish the way we did," said Nelson. "With everything we went through, it was kind of amazing."
There was more than a dash of "amazing" in UNM rolling to a 20-13 season because this team was extremely young before it became extremely beat up. The Lobos had one senior: Russell, whom Nelson called one of the more dynamic leaders he's ever had.
That leadership helped. Russell was part of the glue that kept this team focused, motivated and competitive.
And then there was Riddle.
"It's exciting what Chantale did," said Nelson. "Everybody looks at her kills and what she does offensively, but she does a lot of things well. Defensively, she has provided us with a lot of blocks and a lot of digs and she is just a sophomore.
"I think she is becoming the premier player of my time here. She is really stepping out. She is an amazing athlete and she is going to get better and better with maturity and playing experience. She did a really good job for us this season."
Of course, Riddle's task became harder and harder as the season progressed and Lobos went to the sidelines nursing injuries. Riddle was a target before the season. She became more of a target as it became obvious how big a load she was carrying for UNM.
"We asked a lot of her and she rose to every challenge," said UNM assistant coach Lisa Beauchene. "She just keeps getting better and better."
Riddle's stat line was sweet. She had 515 kills. The next Lobo on that list, Lena Skipper, had 233. Riddle averaged 4.19 kills per set. But the high-flying sophomore wasn't simply a net wonder on the attack side. She had 131 total blocks and 299 digs.
Yep, Riddle got dirty on defense. Her dig total was second on the team to Lovato's 465 digs. But Lovato's (a Libero) specialty on the court was digs. To put Riddle's all-around ability into perspective, note that Lovato had two kills and no blocks.
Riddle did it up front and high. She did it in the back and low.
"She had to battle all year and still put up big numbers for us and broke records," said Nelson. "There was no question she was one of the premier players in the conference this year."
Riddle and Lovato were the two Lobos named to the 15-player 2012 All-Mountain West Team. Lovato led the MW in digs-per-set with a 4.71 average in league games. Lovato missed five matches with her assortment of injuries but still soared to the No. 3 spot on the program's single-season dig list.
Lovato's single-game high in 2012 was 27 vs. Southern Cal. She was named to two all-tourney teams this past season.
Riddle led the MW in kills and points for all games and for MW games. Her 515 kills set the league's sophomore record and ranks her No. 2 in single-season kills at UNM and No. 4 in MW history. She was 13 kills sky of the Lobo record of 528. She set the UNM record for single-season points smashing the mark of two-time, First Team All-American Pauline Manser.
Riddle was a powerful weapon up front that the Lobos were wise to use often, but also forced to use often. She set the UNM and MW single-season record by taking 1,351 swings in 2012. There is a rumor floating around that Riddle's attacking arm is two inches longer than it was at the beginning of the season.
The honors that came to the talented UNM sophomore did not end with her All-MW selection. She also was named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association All-West Region first team; was named honorable mention All-American by the AVCA; and made the COBRA Magazine's All-National second team.
When the Mountain West names it's pre-season pick for 2013 Player of The Year, don't be surprised if a UNM junior falls into that pressure spot.
And don't be surprised if the young Lobos get healthy and challenge for the 2013 title.
The Lobos signed three New Mexico players to national letters of intent during the 2012 season: Cassie House, Devanne Sours and Julia Warren. "This is the best recruiting class we've had here and probably the best recruiting class to come out of the state of New Mexico," Nelson said.
The Lobos lost one senior from 2012 - Russell - and her spirit and leadership will be tough to replace. She also had 589 assists. Junior Ashley Newman will not return for her senior year in order to concentrate on school work and admittance into medical school.
You can't blame Nelson for wondering what kind of season his Lobos would have had in 2012 with a little bit more luck and a whole lot less of a run in with the injury bug. You can't blame him for looking ahead to 2013.
He returns so much - and adds a lot. UNM lost 6-foot outside hitter Ashley Kelsey to an ACL tear in the preseason. Nelson lost 6-foot-2 sophomore Elsa Krieg to an ACL 11 matches into the season. Freshman defensive specialist Sara Stelzer (concussion) never played and took a redshirt season.
It's likely that the adversity of 2012 helped the Lobos mesh as a team. The chemistry was pretty good, but maybe they had no other choice. There also were a lot of Lobos who stepped up. Lena Skipper had 233 kills and 273 digs. Alijah Gunsaulus had 218 kills and 279 digs. Skye Gullatt had 95 total blocks in only 86 sets played. Lexi Ross had 99 blocks, 179 kills and 104 digs. Hannah Johnson had 646 assists.
A lot of young Lobos were tossed deeper into the front line than what Nelson probably anticipated going into the season. They grew a lot. They return wiser and better. They get some help from players returning healthy and more help from first-year talent.
If the Lobos can ditch that team bus with the flasher on top, the season of 2013 should be a sweet ride.

Sweden's Wallenberg dynasty prepares for sixth generation
By Alistair Scrutton and Niklas Pollard
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Jacob Wallenberg, the 58-year-old head of one of Europe's most enduring family dynasties, is trying to work out how the empire controlling much of Sweden's economy could look with a woman or someone without the family name at the helm.
Roughly 30 members of the sixth generation, aged between 15 and 30, are contenders to see if they could one day run Wallenberg's Investor holding company and several foundations with major stakes in Electrolux, Atlas Copco and Ericsson.
There are no clear favorites and the job could also go to an outsider, but whoever is picked to lead an empire so famous a popular beef dish takes the family name, will have to decide if it should invest in new and faster growth companies beyond its financial and industrial roots.
In egalitarian Sweden, the family is seen as a model of how to expand a company through generations without squabbles and the appointment will be made according to experience rather than assertions of birthright.
Wallenberg, who has not indicated he plans to step down, organizes seminars for some young family members at an old estate.
"They have to get the experience, and then we'll see what happens. And the sixth generation is in the middle of that right now," said Jacob Wallenberg, sitting in his wood-paneled office five minutes walk from Stockholm's Royal Palace.
The empire began in 1856 when Andre Oscar Wallenberg founded Stockholms Enskilda Bank, now part of SEB. The family's fame and influence grew with the company, helped by the construction of a wealthy Stockholm suburb and one scion who became a hero for saving Jews in Hungary in World War II.
While many family empires implode in feuds or have the assets split by an ever growing number of descendents, the Wallenbergs have so far avoided this. Continued...

Aw, she's adorable!
Puppies are like human babies to me, they kind of all look alike when they're really young. I can never see resemblances to mom or dad in people's babies until they're older. That said, she does look like a lab, but she looks way too big to be a 3 month old lab, unless that chair is really low to the ground.
The couch is only about 1.5 feet off the ground, so yes its fairly low. She's about 20 lbs right now, they are projecting her to be about 100 lbs.

So I just picked up my 07 EXT a week ago and I've been sorting through everything. I spent an hour or so yesterday screwing with the garage door opener to no avail. First off, at least for me, the information in the manual, online, in the forums, everywhere I looked was totally wrong. And honestly it makes sense, every garage door opener is different so how can they have truly universal instructions?
My garage door opener is a Liftmaster security+ from 2003 (rolling code). I've had no problems syncing with homelink before, but this was definitely giving me trouble.
The first "wrong" thing I've seen in ever single post and manual about programming the garage door openers is to hold the outside button for between 20-30 seconds. This simply clears the codes. In order to set it to "learning mode" you only hold the two outside for about 2 seconds and release and then all three lights will stay on.
The overhead light on my garage door opener had to be on according to the Car2U rep, so I turned it on manually with my wall switch, then pressed the learn button on my overhead unit. Then (IMPORTANT) as I walked back to the truck I had to step OVER the safety eye going across the bottom of the garage- apparently stepping through it cancels the learn function! Over that obstacle, I jumped in, pressed and held the "1" key for about a second or two, and then the bulb in the overhead flashed and the garage door moved at which point I immediately released. Boom, programmed.
So Cliffs:
To program a Liftmaster Security+ garage door opener:
Press two outside garage openers for only 2 seconds or so until all 3 lights stay on solid when you release
Turn on overhead light to garage door opener if it is not already on
Press learn button on overhead unit
If your car is outside of the garage step over the beam from the optical safety eyes as you walk out
Press the desired garage door opener key inside and release once the garage door light flashes. This should happen within a couple of seconds.
Your opener is now programmed!
Hope this helps anyone in a similar situation :)

Have seen many LEO over the years use this retention position and wanted to know if there was a technical term for it.
Gun Drawn In Hand, Semi Concealed Behind Leg and Pointed At The Ground.
Hey xXx
Done it many times... I never considered it a retention position. It's just a way to have gun in hand before the shooting starts... more often it'll end a shootout before one starts. Also it was done to not cause undue alarm to the public, as most people will never even notice your holding a gun. Easier to sneak up on an adversary with the gun in that position, than to be pointing it or waving at eye level. It's effective for close in confrontation. Usually no one but the subject knows your covering him.
Don't know if it's the technical term or not, but I call it "how I answer my door everytime the doorbell rings" :yup:
That would be commonly referred to as a ready position not a retention position. In most classes retention and ready positions are given a number or a name and vary between instructors.
It's The (CYA) position ; )
I used to do it on duty. Another tactic was when someone flagged us down or approached our cruisers on foot, we had our guns out and held just under the door window where it could be raised in an instant but not seen.
As others stated, I don't think that would be considered a retention position. In fact with your arm fully or almost fully extened in order to hide the gun behind your leg would be a poor retention position IMO. Of course that's not to say it wouldn't have it's places.
With that said, I've been in a couple classes that covered this tactic but instead having my gun side away from the target and using my upper torso to keep my sidearm concealed while drawn (or at least created a positive grip) and still close to my body (good for concealment and for retention purposes). Neither class really gave such a tactic a name that I can recall. Both lead instructors had military and LEO/SWAT backgrounds.
Covert ready.....
Retention position is a position from which you are able to shoot from, if necessary.
Basically, the gun is held above the holster (for holsters worn 3:00 position for right handed shooters), indexed against your lower rib cage and pointed towards the target.
It is held close and tight against the body to aid in maintaining possession of the gun against a gun grab in extreme close quarters action.
For what you described with gun drawn but generally hidden from casual view, held behind your leg, muzzle down is used when you want your gun in hand, but not necessarily seen.
Official term = Covert Ready (is as good as any).
Industry term = Doorbell Position. :rofl:
(Borrowed from First Sgt & Stubborn)
Well, there was someone here that posted a technical term for that position.....thought I might get them to post it again or someone else if they knew......again, a tactic I've seen LEO's use often.......

IBM, HP add public cloud data protection services
IBM rolls out public cloud protection services for backup, archiving and virtual machine DR while HP brings out PC backup service.
IT services and managed services guide
IBM and Hewlett-Packard (HP) Co. this week launched new and expanded public cloud data protection services aimed at large organizations. IBM's services are for backup, archiving and disaster recovery for virtual servers, while HP rolled out a service for enterprise PC backup.
Drill down into today's new backup approaches
Due to the features of most modern backup software – which include snapshot management, DR elements, cloud support, VM protection – backups can do so much more than simply restoring data in the event of a storage or server failure. Download this guide and not only discover the latest upgrades to today's top enterprise backup vendors, but also learn where backup software works best in your computing environment.

On Monday, IBM brought out SmartCloud Archive, SmartCloud Virtualized Server Recovery and SmartCloud Managed Backup—all managed by IBM.
HP today launched its PC Backup Services (PCBS) for desktops and laptops to be hosted at HP's data centers and sold through channel partners.
IBM's archive and virtual server services are new, and the managed backup service was enhanced to take advantage of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Unified Recovery 6.2. New features of TSM Unified Recovery 6.2 includes source-side deduplication, the ability to auto-discover new VMware virtual machine guests and support for Microsoft Hyper-V through Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) snapshots.
IBM's archive service is for documents and records management systems. The virtualized server recovery service provides remote access so customers don't have to travel to a recovery site.
Steve Wojtowecz, IBM's vice president of storage software development, said the archiving service is for data that customers need to retrieve faster than they can get it back from tape.
"Customers realize that not all data is created equal," he said. "When clients archive what they think is critical data, recovering data from an archive they've shipped offsite is not real quick. For searching, analyzing and recovering archived data quickly, we think they'll look at storing data in the cloud."
HP's PCBS is a packaged service for channel partners that handles desktop and notebook data backups for midsized organizations and enterprises. The service includes incremental backups to reduce backup times, self-service restore that lets users retrieve individual files or data sets, data deduplication, and built-in encryption.
PCBS also uses agents on protected machines. The agents allow files to be compressed, encrypted and backed up even if they are open. Pricing for the PCBS cloud data protection service begins at $5.95 per month per seat license for 2 GB of data retained after deduplication.
Tim Bowers, product marketing manager for HP's enterprise services, said there is a 500-seat minimum to the service "to make sure we're not competing against the consumer space."
IBM's Wojtowecz also emphasized IBM's new services are not for end users but for large organizations. "These are for customers that don't want to have to roll out more disk or purchase more tape," he said.

Family honors son's memory by giving back
MONUMENT, Colo. - The family of a man killed in a motorcycle accident last month is honoring his memory by helping to clean up Mount Herman.
Devin Seifert, 21, died in a motorcycle accident on July 5.
"He was just a great young man," mom Debbie Seifert said. "He was shy, and funny and just a great kid to be around."
"Devin was greatly loved, and we miss him more than words can say," dad Steve Seifert said. "He very much enjoyed the outdoors, he was a great brother, a terrific son, just an awesome, awesome young man. He's going to be deeply missed forever and ever."
The Seiferts are paying tribute to Devin's love for the outdoors. They organized what they hope is the inaugural Clean Up for Devin event. With the help of Friends of Monument Preserve and volunteers, the couple and their other two sons, ages 12 and 17, will help clean up Mount Herman Road. There is a lot of debris in areas where recreational shooting was recently banned.
"Devin loved the mountains," Steve Seifert said. "He loved being in the mountains, whether it was snowboarding, hiking, camping. And he liked to see the mountains clean."
The Seiferts said cleaning Mount Herman in Devin's honor will help them cope. They hope it'll do the same for others who also knew and loved him. The goal is to have at least 100 people attend the cleanup event.
Volunteers will meet at Dirty Woman Creek Park on Mitchell Avenue in Monument, on Sunday August 10, at 9 a.m. From there, shuttles will take them to the cleanup sites. The cleanup lasts from 10 a.m. To 1 p.m. There will then be a BBQ at the park. Volunteers are asked to dress appropriately in sturdy shoes, hats, etc.

Google Pushes Chrome with Google Earth Download
When I tried to download the latest update for Google Earth (from 5.0). At the first time I clicked "Agree and Download" and a pop-up window showed up asking me where to save googleupdatesetup.exe. Somehow I noticed something different in the previous page, so I went back and looked carefully.
When you ask for Google Earth, Google gives you Chrome for free? Well, that's all right if they want to sell Google Chrome, but please don't put it as the default setting.
I have tried Chrome before and I don't want it. It will make me feel terrible if later I find Google Chrome is installed in my PC, even though it's because I don't notice the default option on the download page.
Further more, there's an advanced setup below the download button. When you click at it, you will see the two options enabled:
I optioned off the automatic update, because I don't know how Google does it. Remember that annoying Google Update? Google later changed its way to handle updates but …
Clicked the download buttoning, a pop-up asked me where to save GoogleEarthWin.exe. So, what's that googleupdatesetup.exe at my first try?
During the installation, wanna-be smart Google uses the language set for non-unicode programs in my PC. I wish they can be smarter to notice that English is set in my Regional Option. 🙄
Toward the end of installation, it has two options enabled: one is to start Google Earth, and the other is the third option in above screenshot, which I never enabled!
Google, aren't you too pushy? 🙄

CIP Claims Books
AC Subject Headings
Pinyin Romanization Reconsidered
JSCAACR to Meet at LC
The Future of Cataloging as a Profession
Organizing the Global Digital Library II
BEAT Agenda 1996
The Cataloging in Publication (CIP) Program requires that participating publishers provide a complimentary copy of each published book for which the Library of Congress supplied CIP data.
These books enable LC staff to review the accuracy of the CIP data and to update the records with additional data elements such as the pagination, illustration statement, and the size of the books.
While the Cataloging in Publication Division routinely claims outstanding books four months and six months after the date of publication, LC still does not receive a significant number of books. Recently the CIP Division initiated a special project to obtain these overdue books. This project focused on publishers with particularly large numbers of delinquent titles.
The CIP Division sent a claim notice for each outstanding book to the publisher with a form letter. The letter asked the publisher to submit a copy of the book. The letter also asked the publisher to return each claim with one of the following responses: book being sent; title canceled; book out of print; or projected publication date changed.
Of the 15,995 claims sent, the CIP Division has received 7,248 responses. Of these responses, 5,076 were books, 324 were titles declared canceled (i.e., the book was never published), 1,639 were titles declared out of print, and 209 were titles declared not yet published and the proposed publication date changed.
The value of the books obtained is conservatively estimated at over $180,000. More importantly, the 5,076 books received represent 5,076 CIP records verified and redistributed to the nation's libraries.
The CIP Division is planning a second retrospective claiming project.
In May the complete retrospective file of approximately 900 Annotated Card Program Subject Headings (AC headings) was converted to machine readable form and distributed on tape to MARC Distribution Service subscribers. The AC records reside in the subject authorities file and can be identified by the "sj" prefix to the LCCN for each approved AC heading and "spj" for proposed new or changed AC headings
In 1990 the Library of Congress decided that it would like to convert from Wade-Giles to pinyin romanization for Chinese bibliographic data. Although several different approaches were studied, it was thought that conversion would not be feasible, economically or technically, in the foreseeable future. The bibliographic utilities would also need a plan acceptable to their members to convert large existing databases from one system to the other. Recent events have made it possible for LC to resume tentative investigations. For one, a front-end conversion program has been developed and proved effective. For another, the National Library of Australia (NLA) is not only converting from Wade-Giles to pinyin, but is also providing a structure of separate files that individual libraries in Australia can utilize to convert their own files.
LC is currently evaluating samples of converted records that NLA has provided. At the same time, LC has begun to investigate word-division/aggregation problems and to continue to explore the inclusion of vernacular data in authority records.
Comments regarding any aspect of this topic are welcome. For further information, contact Philip Melzer at [email protected] or view the text of the article on pinyin romanization at http://lcweb.loc.gov/catdir/pinyin.html.
The Joint Steering Committee for Revision of AACR will meet in Washington, D.C., on June 20-21 at the Library of Congress. Its agenda is to review current rule revision proposals, to receive an update on the electronic version of AACR2 (AACR2-e) and to discuss plans for an international conference on Anglo-American cataloging principles. There will be a report of the meeting at CC:DA session during the New York ALA conference in July.
The members of JSCAACR are Ralph W. Manning, Canadian Committee on Cataloguing, chair; Sally Strutt, British Library, secretary; Sue Brown, Library Association (UK); Brian Schottlaender, American Library Association; Ann Huthwaite, Australian Committee on Cataloguing; and Barbara Tillett, Library of Congress.
On May 29 a presentation was given to LC staff by three library professionals: Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, Catholic University of America, Elaine Svenonius, University of California at Los Angeles, and Barbara Tillett, Library of Congress. The presentation was entitled "The Future of Cataloging as a Profession" and was sponsored by LC's Cataloging Forum.
Dr. Hsieh-Yee spoke of the technological advances in the library world and discussed the cataloging of Internet resources. She also said that cataloging "has a bright future as long as we take part in shaping that future" and that "quality cataloging is more important than ever."
Dr. Svenonius spoke of the lessening of importance and availability of cataloging courses in library schools today. She stated that the lack of training for new catalogers is creating a crisis in the profession, and suggested that a conference be convened, involving LC, ALA, library schools, and cataloging professionals to address this concern.
Dr. Tillett shared her view that LC will continue to be a major provider of bibliographic and authority records to the international library community. She stressed the need for LC to reduce the cost of its cataloging operation. She noted significant progress in the areas of international cooperation and standardization, and said that continued progress, particularly in Germany and Russia, will greatly benefit cooperative cataloging.
On May 22 Sarah Thomas, acting director for Public Service Collections, chaired the second conference on Organizing the Global Digital Library (see LCCN, v. 4, no. 1, Jan. 1996, for the report of the first conference on Dec. 11, 1995). The conference was held at LC and sponsored by the National Digital Library Federation, LC's National Digital Library Program, and the Corporation for National Research Initiatives. Invited speakers were Deanna Marcum, president, Commission on Preservation and Access, and president, Council on Library Resources; Stuart Weibel and Erik Jul of OCLC; and Jennifer Younger, assistant librarian for technical services, Ohio State University Libraries. Speakers from LC included Dr. Thomas; Rebecca Guenther, Network Development and MARC Standards Office; Barbara Tillett, chief, Cataloging Policy and Support Office; and Helena Zinkham, head, Processing Section, Prints and Photographs Division.
The conference concluded by identifying 14 "next steps" for the library and information science communities in the shared effort to organize digital materials: 1) work with document creators to generate metadata; 2) develop metadata guidelines for creators; 3) "move libraries upstream," i.e., encourage libraries to create and publish digital content; 4) reallocate library resources to the pursuit of digital access; 5) promote a resolution of the PURL (Persistent Uniform Resource Locator)/Handle dilemma; 6) consider the Text Encoding Initiative and other possible standards; 7) examine the proliferation of document type definitions for encoded material; 8) call for an increased number of RLG workshops on the Encoded Archival Definition; 9) refine categories of bibliographic relationships for digitized materials; 10) develop or acquire a search engine for testing against diverse types of data; 11) review the SGML editors available; 12) establish a clearinghouse of digital projects planned or in progress; 13) communicate selection policies for digital collections; and 14) promote development of a testbed for preservation of digital information.
Full proceedings of Organizing the Global Digital Library II will be published online in D-Lib Magazine (URL: http://www.dlib.org).
The Library of Congress Bibliographic Enrichments Advisory Team (BEAT) has recently completed a review of work in progress (for the 1995 report, see URL http://lcweb.loc.gov/catdir/beat/beat 95.html) and established its agenda for the remainder of calendar year 1996. The work of this group is funded by the Library's Business Research Fund, and its activities are, therefore, focused on business and economics, although the resulting research and development is intended to have potential for broader application.
The items to be pursued this year are

Latvian Foreign Minister tweets:'I am gay. Good luck all of you.'
RIGA (Reuters) - Latvia's Foreign Minister, flying in the face of conservative sentiment in his small Baltic state, declared in a tweet "I proudly announce I am gay... Good luck all of you" and said he would campaign for legal status for same-sex relationships.
Edgars Rinkevics, using the hashtag "#proudtobegay", was the first government official to come out in Latvia where the issue of gay rights and homosexuality is often frowned upon. By contrast, fellow ex-Soviet state Estonia recently adopted a Cohabitation Act recognizing civil unions regardless of gender.
Rinkevics is in a strong position as one of Latvia's most popular politicians. He has sharply criticized Moscow over its handling of a rebellion in the Russian-speaking east of Ukraine, another ex-Soviet state. That echoes widespread fears Moscow may put pressure on Latvia over its 26 percent Russian minority.
Opinion leaders, some politicians and journalists expressed support for the minister's step. "Respect" and "courageous" were the most common words in tweeted comments.
Politicians from neighboring Lithuania and Estonia also praised him. "Edgars, my friend, admire your courage and sincerity!," Lithuania's Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius tweeted on Friday.
Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves wrote on the social networking site that Rinkevics was "a very brave man and a very good foreign minister".
Rinkevics said in a tweet he would fight to create a legal framework for "all kind of partnerships" in Latvia.
His spokeswoman confirmed the authenticity of the minister's tweets.
Even his well-known opponent on social networks, leader of the pro-Russian party Concord Nils Ushakovs, said he welcomed his announcement and wished him luck in work and private life. Continued...

Richard Edelman is
president and CEO of Edelman.
Nov. 22, 2010
By Richard Edelman
I spent this weekend reading "Deadly Spin," former PR man Wendell Potter's tale of his conversion from corporate "spin-meister" to healthcare reform advocate. Potter's story moves along two tracks, a personal awakening to the evils of managed care interspersed with salvos against the PR business.
I will concentrate on his critique of PR, leaving the health care issues to those more expert in the field.
Potter's central thesis is that "Good PR is about control…PR people are good at manipulating the news media because they understand them….PR people cultivate reporters, ostensibly for friendship or mutual benefit, but more realistically for manipulation..With years of practice, I learned how to respond with a pithy remark if I wanted to be quoted and how to baffle them with bullshit if I didn't….Be obscure clearly…I became a master at doing just that."
Potter acknowledges that "PR has been used to good ends. Even the noblest of causes can benefit from the services of a communications expert to clarify facts….and there are plenty of ethical PR people out there to do this." He quickly takes back even this modest acknowledgement with his other hand, "With PR so intricately woven into every major industry and today's mass media reality, the stakes of spin have become incredibly high. And ethics do slip. PR often crosses the line into misleading, withholding or simply lying. And when it does, society suffers…"
Most outrageous is Potter's conflation of propaganda and modern public relations. He goes back to one of the giants of the profession, Edward Bernays, whose book "Propaganda," written in 1928, ostensibly wound up on the bookshelf of Third Reich minister Joseph Goebbels.
Potter then goes on to suggest that Hitler's Mein Kampf discusses manipulation of public opinion "in terms that could be used by one of today's PR counselors." He quotes the Fuhrer as saying, "All effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans." He even quotes the Institute for Propaganda Analysis report from the late 30s uncovering effects of domestic manipulative practices of advertisers and businesses, using "propaganda/PR ploys" such as "Fear, Glittering Generalities, Testimonials, Name-Calling, Plain Folks, Euphemisms, Bandwagon and Transfer by Respected Individuals."
He concludes his book with a bizarre "What If?" He suggests that "without basic knowledge of PR tactics and the ability to distinguish between fact and distortion, Americans---and that includes journalists—are at the mercy of spin doctors and PR practitioners whose loyalty to their clients outweighs the public's right to the truth….We need the Woodward and Bernsteins of coming generations to ensure that Americans have access to truth and that a health balance between news and spin is in place. Otherwise our news will be coming, whether we know it or not, from companies with names like the Hawthorn Group, Edelman, Porter Novelli and APCO. If so, our way of life will truly be threatened."
Ok, Mr. Potter, since you are calling us out, let me agree with you on a few points. I do not subscribe to the use of front groups to cover up the true intent of a client. I do not endorse the use of biased research surveys that purport to be factual representation of the views of the public. I do not advocate duplicitous communications campaigns where clients say one thing and mean another.
Here is where you and I part company. You have no right to say that big and well connected PR firms have a reputation "not so much for public relations as for public deception."
Nor do you have carte blanche to say that many of the bigger firms "pay little heed to ethical guidelines because they are happy to take your money and launder it."
Nor can you say that third party experts recruited to be credible spokesmen "won't have a thing to do with op-eds except lend their names."
You have done the public a great disservice in distorting the PR field, which provided you a good living for the better part of your career. There will always be much to criticize in the world of PR, but do not call into question the motives of the vast majority of practitioners who are interested in the truth and in educating stakeholders about issues of our time.

Richard Edelman is
president and CEO of Edelman.
Bill Huey, Strategic Communications, Atlanta (11/22):
Haven't read the book, but sometimes calling a spade a spade is tonic. Especially in health care, where the propaganda (Medicare death panels) has been out of control for a long time. And do I need to bring up Citizens for a Free Kuwait, or that egregious Wal-Mart grassroots campaign a few years ago?
Kevin Foley, CEO, KEF Media (11/22):
Richard - Thanks for weighing in on this. It's instructive for readers to know that Potter's new home is at the Center for Media & Democracy where all PR (other than that done by the CMD itself) is judged evil. Potter's got the title, Senior Fellow there.
You might recall we fought the great VNR battle with these guys 4-5 years ago and learned a great deal about their own use of propaganda, distortions and half truths to attack our segment of the PR industry. Like you, I was greatly offended at the time by their assault on the honorable work we do on behalf of our clients and their gross mischaracterization of PR practioners as deceitful, dishonest or worse.
Potter should do a little homework, too. He claims "And ethics do slip. PR often crosses the line into misleading, withholding or simply lying. And when it does, society suffers…"
He needs to talk to John Stauber, one of CMD's founders who, during the Mad Cow scare of the late 1990s, pretended to be an expert on Mad Cow disease when, in fact, he has no scientific or medical training whatsoever. That didn't stop him from doing numerous national interviews during which he predicted a Mad Cow disease epidemic that never happened, such was his alleged expertise. Then, of course, Stauber sought to cash in, writing a book about the mad cow hysteria he helped hype and was called out by the Milwaukee Journal for promoting it with, yes, a publicity campaign complete with a press kit that included "suggested questions."
I'm all in favor of watch dogs and truth be told, Potter's insights have been an eye-opener where the national healthcare debate is concerned. But painting everyone in the PR industry with such a broad brush is completely disingenuous.
Brian M (11/22):
It's hard to deny some of the tactics Mr. Potter has been railing about, but painting the whole PR industry with that brush is just sloppy and dilutes any legitimate claims he makes against certain players in the healthcare space. I expected a more pointed and focused critique with this book and so far I haven't seen it. I've not yet completed the book, however.
Wes Pedersen (11/22):
"Propaganda" is the word Eddie Bernays thought best described what he and others would soon call public relations. I have been a propagandist and I am damn proud of the work I did during the Cold War. "Propaganda" is still a true term for public relations. The Nazis abused it beyond comprehension, but that does not abort its meaning.
Joe Honick, GMA International Ltd (11/22):
Out of respect for Mr Edelman and his impassioned comments, I hesitated getting into this discussion. If the whole PR world were populated with Edelmans, Foleys, Dillenschneiders et al, that would be nice. But that would not be a fact. Fact is, as I have also commented, that there are firms that will embrace almost any kind of business just for the business, and that is what helps to diminis the image of the image making industry.
Specifically, it took little more than a couple of million to help bring a murderer like Gadaffi to a great welcome return to the UN. It was not the finest hour for PR when the Saudis splurged more than $14 million in less than six months in a sucessful effort to smother a trillion dollar lawsuit by 9/11 victims' survivors and continue those successful efforts with both Bush and Obama administrations. Nor can we hold our heads high with the billion dollar investment in private PR that helped to sell the two endless wars begun a decade ago.
Mr Edelman, while not unique among ethical practitioners, can be classed as special, given his leadership. But, Mr. E, and others, please do not shrink from the realities that some pretty hefty outfits have been quite happy to align themselves for the buck on some quite questionable efforts. Clients are not like medical patients where all are entitled to treatment without regard to who or what they are. It is up to the PR firms and their leaders to evaluate with whom they are willing to associate for the money.
Anonymous (11/24):
On Potter's side, PR is indeed about control as can be see from the PR services firm announcing yesterday that because of high expenses for the company, all employees must take for the last four days of this week an unpaid vacation. It's take it or leave it, and even if you leave it, you still have to take it in the purse. PR is indeed about control.
Kathleen L. Lewton (11/29):
I have read the book in its entirety, several times, for a review I was writing. I would hope that everyone else would read it -- carefully. There are many things to criticize Wendell for, and he deserves the criticism, but I believe he went to great pains to be clear on his views about our profession.
What Wendell actually wrote is this:
"It is not my intention to write a book that condemns an entire profession. Many – probably most – PR professionals follow guidelines established years ago by the Public Relations Society of America, an organization that encourages ethical behavior among its members and all PR practitioners and of which I have been a proud member for more than three decades."
That seems, at least the way I read it, to make it quite clear that Potter is not indicting all of his colleagues. There are several other similar statements in the book, and at one point Potter even offers an excuse for corporate PR people who strayed into unethical behavior, noting that they and their companies operate under unbelievable pressure from Wall Street. He also clearly places blame on himself.
He says: "About forty-five thousand people die in American every year because they have no health insurance. I am partly responsible for some of the deaths making up that statistic."
And then he describes in painstaking detail the clearly unethical practices that HE took part in. He doesn't shirk any blame or even attempt to say someone else made him do it. He notes that initially, "I didn't feel then that we were doing anything unethical or underhanded. We were all well read and well educated . . . ate at the best restaurants, houses in the right zip codes. We knew people in Congress and the White House . . . we were powerful and influential. The American dream didn't get any better than this."
But in the book's most searing sections, he describes things he did that he KNEW were unethical. He admits and owns up, about what he did even when he knew it was wrong. I've heard the debates about Wendell's actions, specifically about what's called his "whistleblower" appearances in the media and before Congress.
I've been told that he should have quit, but then remained silent, because a) he knew that what he did was unethical and b) he was well paid by CIGNA and owed the company some loyalty. I can't quit wrap my conscience around that. I can't condone the activities he describes doing (I mean a front group is a front group and it's clearly defined by the PR industry as unethical), but I can't condemn him for telling the truth. The industry he worked in literally had a life and death impact on millions of people. If he -- like the tobacco and drug company whistleblowers before him -- felt the need to tell the truth, to alert Americans, I think that's not only his right, as an American first and foremost, but his responsibility. (I've lent my copy of the book so cannot double check, but I believe he did provide specific examples of what he felt were unethical practices when he levied criticism, rather than just naming names and speaking in generalities.) He put his information and his point of view out there.
Each of us in the PR industry, and all citizens, can read what he's written, evaluate his contentions on their merits, and develop an informed opinion about what was done -- and I think that opinion will be better informed because of Potter's book.
I was actually very proud that he took what seemed to be great pains to make it clear that he was NOT indicting an entire profession, to make it clear that the vast majority of PR people do practice ethically.
Again, read what he actually wrote: "It is not my intention to write a book that condemns an entire profession.
Many – probably most – PR professionals follow guidelines established years ago by the Public Relations Society of America, an organization that encourages ethical behavior among its members and all PR practitioners." As Joe Honick points out, it would be an ideal world if we could all say that every PR professional practices ethically.
Unfortunately, as Potter describes in great detail, there are those in our field (as in ANY profession) who do not live up to the highest standards. Potter was one of those, by his own admission. From where I sit, I think that by admitting and describing his failings, he has done a service to our profession. Rather than deny that unethical behavior exists -- which would be ludicrous and simply compromise our own credibility -- he confronts it and confesses, and tells the world that most PR people are ethical, and that he and those he names were the aberration. And he's certainly provided -- I hope -- a wake-up call for all of us, about how relatively easy it can be to start down the path of "whatever the company needs" and end up so far down that path that you feel your only option is to walk away.
I will always wonder if Wendell had, at some point in his tenure at CIGNA, tried to intervene, to look at senior management and say we cannot do this, we cannot lie, we cannot use front groups, we cannot try to destroy our detractors . . . . what the impact would have been. My guess is negligible in terms of corporate behavior, but probably significant in terms of Potter's futurewith the company.
But had he done that, perhaps the way he feels about himself and his work, and the way some feel about him, would be different. Blowing the whistle inside first would have at least been a good first step at trying to change the process and the outcomes. This is all a conundrum as old as our profession.
Every time I speak to an undergrad or graduate class of PR students, inevitably someone asks "what if a client asked you to do something unethical." We all give the same answer -- explain why it's a bad idea, explain why you can't do it, refuse to do it -- and that's followed by the "but what if you lose your job and you don't have enough money to live on" query, and the ultimate answer "It's a personal decision that only you can make." Wendell made that walk-away decision only after years of making the wrong decisions, and participating in unethical behavior.
A cautionary tale for all of us.
Scott Tillitt / Antidote Collective (11/29):
"Distorts" the PR field? I disagree. It *exposes* the PR field, or at least the dark side of it — some of which Edelman has practiced in the past. Wendell has responded in a blog post simultaneously posted on Huffington Post, Center for Media and Democracy, and his own site.
As Wendell says, "The reason I wrote my new book, Deadly Spin, was to explain not only how the insurance industry used the dark arts of PR to shape health care reform legislation, but also how many other special interests use them to influence how we think and act every day."
[Disclosure: I am proud to be a friend and colleague of Wendell's, and we're exploring ways that we together can use PR to the "good ends" that he notes in the book — one of which is spread the messages in "Deadly Spin." I left corporate PR years ago with that in mind.)
Kevin Foley (11/30):
Scott- Who precisely decides what constitutes "good ends" for PR and how does he/she/they earn his/her/their authority to sit in judgement? "Good" for who? "Good" why?
waterflaws in Denver (12/02):
PR is generally the province of those who can pay handsomely. My guess is that most of your readers are PR-firm-relatives and beneficiaries, and therefor have a natural tendency to be defensive about critiques of the business. Looking at it from the outside, and unable to afford its luxuries, I perceive it to be deliberately deceptive, disingenuous, and dangerous and despicable. It MAY not be the oldest profession, but it has similarities to it. They are the ones that give you "highs" and "rushes" at Walmart, cars that will "save your soul", "clean coal", "safe nuclear energy", pentagon spin, "green" oil companies, and "bring good things to light" but keep the bad things in the dark.
Kevin Foley (12/02):
Waterflaws - spoken with breathtaking ignorance, your biased conclusions drawn by...what exactly? You say you don't work in the industry or know anything about it, but you make the same sweeping condemnations as Potter (who, BTW, made bushel baskets of money doing PR for Aetna all those years). As my late dad liked to say, "Empty vessels make the most noise."
waterflaws in Denver (12/02):
Dear Mr. Foley, comment rules state, "Commentaries on subject matter are welcome. Personal attacks are not allowed." I believe your "comment" to me is a personal attack. You do appear to be a "master" at PR, however. PR isn't about being fair, or following the rules, is it. Perhaps you should notice that I gave some very specific "sweeping gerneralities". Say "Hi" to Daddy.
Kevin Foley (12/03):
Waterflaws- My dad passed away in June. Thanks for the sentiment.

The inquiries continue into Trinidad & Tobago's astonishing 2-1 home defeat to Bermuda Sunday in the second round of Concacaf World Cup qualifying. T&T's Colombian coach, Francisco Maturana, took the full blame at the post-game press conference, saying via a translator that his team "abused long passes," and that this was no way to play the game. Perhaps they took too many soccer lessons from playing England two weeks earlier.
Maturana speaks little English, but "that might be his sole comfort" in Tuesday's postmortem with Trinidad and Tobago Football
Federation special adviser Jack Warner, quips Lasana Liburd. After all, his side has just lost to "a Bermudan team whose defensive spine had the average age of 32, and whose rotund mid-sections
bore more resemblance to an all fours team than an athletic outfit."
The coach gambled by switching from the team's favored 4-4-2 system "to a relatively untried 3-5-2," writes
Liburd. "There is inevitably the hint of desperation when a team prepares for five months in one formation only to change a week before the first examination." Young players who had been tried out
have already been discarded in favor of the senior, more experienced players, but those players will need "to hit the right notes in Bermuda" this coming weekend to overcome the deficit in the
second leg.

Maybe when the jailbreak is out and I can set something as my default. My problem is I see it pointless to have another app to do something when my phone will force me to use another app to compose or something right from a link.
Or when you press share and "email" it will open stock mail client.
I actually find the stock client very good. Does everything I need to to
It always amazes me when you see one of these small companies release a app with all these simple yet really cool features and designs, it makes me think "how the hell did Apple not think of that?
Really don't care that much about a email client...but I will have to try this one out!
I went straight to the app store to see if it was available even before reading the article. Huge disappointment to me not finding it there.
I really think it's interesting to try something new, and this application looks like something I really could use for business AND personal email.
Mailbox looks to be a seriously promising mail client. I'm excited to try it myself, and registered with the reservation system.
Off-topic, it appears that in the Vimeo video for Mailbox, the girl uses an iPhone 5, but when she puts the iPhone in her pocket, it's an iPhone 4S (you can tell because of the headphone jack at the top). I just thought it was kind of funny:

Detailed Description:
To the best of the author's knowledge this is the first group-based mental health or psychosocial intervention developed specifically for psychologically distressed former child soldiers. While CBT is the modality with most empirical evidence for treating war-affected young people, this is the first evaluation with child soldiers specifically.
Former child soldiers and war affected 'street boys' (aged 13-17) in eastern DRC, will be screened for symptoms of psychological distress and then randomly assigned to either a treatment group or a waiting-list control. The treatment groups will receive a 15-session manualised, culturally-adapted, TF-CBT intervention. This includes psycho-education, relaxation, affect modulation, cognitive processing and constructing a trauma narrative. After treatment and post-testing, the waiting-list controls then begin their intervention.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|13 Years to 17 Years (Child)

We previously wrote about generating strong, secure passwords in our post, Two Free Methods for Generating Strong, Secure Passwords. If you do not have a very secure password on your Ubuntu account, you may want to follow one of those methods to generate a new, secure password and change your password in your Ubuntu account. There are two methods for changing your password in Ubuntu.
Graphical Method
The first method uses a graphical interface. To begin, select Administration | Users and Groups from the System menu.
On the Users Settings dialog box click the Change button to the right of the Password field.
On the Change User Password dialog box enter the password you are currently using in the Current password edit box. If you are using a password you choose or one you generated, enter/paste your new password twice, once in the New password edit box and again in the Confirmation edit box.
If you want Ubuntu to generate an 8-character random password, consisting of alpha-numeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), select the Generate random password option. A password immediately displays in the Password set to edit box. If you want a different password than the one displayed, click the Generate button to generate a new one.
NOTE: To generate longer passwords with more different character sets in it, see the post mentioned at the beginning of this post. You can paste any password generated by an outside tool or website into the New password and Confirmation edit boxes under Set password by hand.
When you click OK on the Change User Password dialog box, Ubuntu analyzes the new password you chose. If you try to use a password that is too similar to the current password, Ubuntu warns you and does not allow you to choose that password. When you click Close on the warning dialog box, you are returned to the Change User Password dialog box.
Ubuntu also does not let you assign a password to your account that it thinks is too simple.
Once you have entered a password Ubuntu finds acceptable, your new password takes effect immediately, and you are returned to the User Settings dialog box. Click Close.
Command Line Method
The second method involves using the command line in a Terminal window. Select Accessories | Terminal from the Applications menu.
At the prompt in the Terminal window, enter the following:
$ passwd
You are asked to enter your current password, and then to enter your new password twice. If you need to paste a password you generated, right-click at the command prompt and select Paste from the popup menu. Do that again you are asked to retype your new password.
Just like when changing your password using the graphical method mentioned above, if you enter a password that is too simple, Ubuntu warns you and does not let you use that password. You are asked to enter your new password twice again.
Ubuntu also warns you if your old and new passwords are too similar.
Remember to use strong, secure passwords when protecting your information and your accounts. If you need a method for storing, secure, but hard-to-remember, passwords, check out options such as KeePass and LastPass. See the post mentioned at the beginning of this post for more information.
