She has the unique distinction of having earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Brockport as well as having forged a long and successful career at the College. Now retired, Virginia (Ginny) Campbell '89/'96 still calls Brockport her second home.
"When I step on campus, I say I'm home," she says. "When I walk into the Allen Administration Building where I spent most of my career, I say I'm home. When I walk into the library, I say now I'm really home."
Campbell's ties to Brockport go back nearly 30 years, starting from the time she began pursuing her bachelor's degree in communication. She would spend more than two decades working at the College, including more than 15 years as assistant and acting director of Marketing Communications. In fact, you undoubtedly recognize her from her years as managing editor of this magazine.
"The College has always been important to me," says Campbell. "I knew shortly after beginning my undergraduate program that this was where I wanted to spend my professional career."
Along the way, Drake Memorial Library – specifically the College Archives – gained a special place in her heart. That's why Campbell recently made a planned gift to support the archives, which are now known as The Rose Archives.
"My love for Drake and the archives goes back to the 1980s when I was an adult learner in what is now the Delta College," says Campbell. "One of my first assignments was to take a self-guided tour of the library.
"I thought I already knew pretty much everything I needed to know about a library, but I quickly learned that was not the case," she recalls. "From archives to research journals and all other materials in between, it was like Christmas morning for me."
Campbell envisions what she calls a "sort of renaissance" for Drake Library and The Rose Archives and looks forward to taking a lead role in that transformation.
"The library touches the academic, professional and intellectual aspirations of every person on campus, including students, faculty, and staff, as well as friends in the greater community. If Drake is the heart of the campus, then I believe the Archives is its soul in that it's where the College's memories are kept," says Campbell. "It's a vault in which we entrust our treasured history. I want to help retrieve the memories made in our past, capture the memories being made today, and preserve them all for those who will follow in our footsteps. Charlie Cowling, our archivist and librarian, is an expert on Brockport's history and does a tremendous job."
The new name of the archives is derived from the flower. "The rose is the symbol of perfection – perfect devotion, perfect fidelity, perfect friendship, and, yes, perfect love," says Campbell. "Joining my love of the College with my love of history and the archives is a perfect match."
Campbell's efforts to continue strengthening the future of the library include collaborating with the Division of Advancement and Mary Jo Orzech, Director of Library Services, to establish the Friends of Drake Library (FODL). The group's goal is to increase public awareness for Drake and the events, exhibits and other activities of the library and The Rose Archives. Campbell serves as the chair of the FODL Executive Committee, which held its first meeting this past fall.
"The Friends of Drake Executive Committee is an engaged and creative group of people who share a love for Drake and the archives. Working together, we're helping to nurture this new era in the life of the library."

Nintendo overtook Sony Corp. Monday in market value as the company that brought to the world Mario and Donkey Kong cranks up the pressure on its arch-rival, helped by the success of its Wii game console.
Nintendo has long dominated handheld video game machines and is now challenging Sony's crown in home consoles as the Wii outsells the PlayStation 3 several times over in key markets such as the United States and Japan.
Nintendo's share price rose to as high as 46,350 yen Monday morning on the Osaka Stock Exchange, giving the Kyoto-based company a market capitalisation of 6.56 trillion yen (52.9 billion US dollars).
Sony shares meanwhile dropped to 6,460 yen each, pushing its market value down to just shy of 6.50 trillion yen as investors fret over prospects for the iconic Japanese company's video game and electronics divisions.
Sony, famous for the way it changed how the world listened to music with its Walkman portable music players, has struggled in recent years against innovative products like Apple's iPod and Nintendo's Wii.
Nintendo meanwhile has benefited from brisk sales and the weakness of the yen. Last week it edged ahead of another electronics giant, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., in terms of market capitalisation.
The Wii, known for its innovative motion-sensitive controller, outsold the PS3 by more than five to one in Japan in May, according to research from publisher Enterbrain.
April US sales of Wii consoles meanwhile were quadruple those of Sony's PS3.
Sony has much riding on the success of the PS3 but its launch was plagued by delays and production problems, while Nintendo has proven a tough competitor with its Wii console aimed at an audience wider than hard core gamers.
Nintendo's net profit grew by 77.2 percent in the last fiscal year to March to 174.3 billion yen while Sony's net earnings edged up 2.2 percent to 126.33 billion yen in the same period.

Columbus, Ohio's Lydia Loveless is the quintessential little lady with the big voice. So far she's released two albums and the most recent EP, Boy Crazy, full of no-frills, Midwest-ruminating, drinking/ditching tunes. But on her latest, Somewhere Else, out February 18 on Bloodshot Records, she inches her sound onto some barstool between the canny country of Neko Case and latter-day Replacements pop. Or Chris Isaak. Yeah that's it, Chris Isaak.
I just watched a movie last night called, The Informers, and Chris Isaak is in it. It's not very good. Have you ever seen it?
No! (Laughs)
It's taken from a Bret Easton Ellis book, so it's one of those L.A. in the '80s, coke, sex, empty souls lounging around fabulous homes, all of that. Chris Isaak's in it and plays this teen's dad, and he's actually pretty good in it.
Is he in it for a long time?
Yeah, he acts in about five or six sizeable scenes.
He was in Silence of the Lambs too!
That's right! He's also in Fire Walk with Me. And yes, I'm only going to ask about Chris Isaak and then hang up! So tell me about your Chris Isaak fascination, enough that you would write a song with his name as the title on the new album.
Ha, well there was this kind of douche-baggy dude I dated who really liked Chris Isaak, and I really like Chris Isaak, and he would always play Chris Isaak songs on his guitar and sing them to me. So I wanted to write one last fucking song to him.
Now does a guy like that influence your opinion of Chris Isaak's music after such a horrible ending?
(Laughs) No, I mean I still love Chris Isaak. I guess it was more just to particularly poke fun at the dude more than anything.
Your newest record is comparable to early Chris Isaak records, it sounds ostensibly more "produced," but maybe just a little clearer and the guitars ring a little more. Were you trying to go for something a little more expansive this time?
Oh yeah, definitely. I've just gotten better at hearing things and taking advice from people and not trying to be like, "Bleh, I just want to get this over with and not even try, man! I'm not even good at guitar." So yeah, I polished things up a bit and didn't want to make the exact same record. I mean didn't want to make Hysteria or anything. I definitely wanted it to sound like I've grown a little bit. I remember when people asked me what the next record would sound like, I had this plan of making a Chris Isaak-sounding record. Obviously I didn't do that, but I still wanted to get a little bit of the influence in there.
So you're feeling a little more confident as things go along.
I think so. I mean I was 15 when I started making my first record, and I think I've got more balls when I get into the studio now.
Speaking of sex organs, you know that Prince had a song called Head, right? Is there any kind of story behind your song, Head?
I don't know if you know Todd May at all, but he's my guitar player. We had never met before, but I went to his house because my manager said I should. I'd never done anything like that before, so I drank a jug of wine and I was just completely wasted so I said, "Wouldn't it be funny if we wrote a song that was really sad, but it was about giving someone head?" That was my brilliant idea. But it took me years to actually get it where it sounded good to me. There've been a few versions of that and there's a demo tape that sounds super country that we did in his basement. So it took a long time, but I still wanted to do it. I didn't want to make it funny though, I wanted it to be kind of depressing.
In a few reviews here I've seen here and there, people have to always mention that you're "rough" and you're not the clean, new country kind of girl, and that you – oh gosh! – swear sometimes, stuff that shouldn't really be surprising from a country musician. In pop music, it's silly to even ask questions like that anymore, but if you're aiming for some country crossover, does that even cross your mind to make sure that the production is clean, or worry if you threw in a song about head?
I mean it used to, but anymore I kind of just wonder who even gets played on the radio. For a while I was having so much trouble writing songs because I was like, "Oh I need to be the perfect example of 'alt country'" and I just wasn't hitting it and I was writing really boring songs that I was embarrassed to sing. So I stopped thinking about it. And now I'm kind of fumbling with whether the song is too "poppy." (Laughs) It's hard to say, I kind of wanted to get away from the country thing more because even the people who are in charge about writing about distinct country genres are just really snobby and it kind of sucks to be a part of that world.
I assume it's been suggested to you that you should move to Nashville?
Yeah, I'm constantly being asked if I'm from there or if I'm moving there, or why I don't live there.
So why don't you? I mean I know why you stay in Columbus, because it's a great town. But has there ever been a serious point that you ever thought about moving?
I mean, I've really thought for years about moving to L.A. or at least somewhere in California because I get so fucking depressed during these months.
But I think back to a lot of my favorite bands, and a lot of them come from cold weather areas where you have 4-5 months in a year to sit stuck in a house, drinking and coming up with songs. So it's kind of a love/hate thing with "Man, I'm fucking sick of cold weather." But it clearly has a larger determination on your personality than you'd think.
True. And I guess I just meet more interesting people in the Midwest because we don't really have some kind of identity. Like we don't have the ocean, like "What's your problem, just go hang out by the water and chill." But I really enjoy being in the Midwest, and I know it's not a thing a lot of people say, but yeah, when you can't go outside because it's 15 below, you better be inside writing a damn good song.
And it's definitely centrally located which is awesome because you can get to a town like Cleveland or a fairly different town like Chicago, Detroit, Louisville or even Toronto within a few hours and be able to hit a lot of different kinds of people really quickly.
Yeah, it's really easy to tour for me here. Like I was thinking about moving to Boston, but it's like I would drive 10 hours and be in Butt-fuck Billy Bob tavern. I mean, it's cheaper here, my family's here and I really honestly hate Nashville. I don't get any sort of vibe from it.
Yeah, if anything it's sounds like it's more of an indie rock town now, though I haven't been there in forever. People are moving there because the Black Keys guys and Jack White moved there; and you hear more about Third Man Records shows than the Grand Old Opry. Plus, you grew up in Columbus, right?
Yeah, well I moved here when I was 14.
You do mention "blow" in the first song of the record, and from what I recall, blow was floating around quite a bit before I moved from there. But I've been gone for about 10 years now, so is coke still a big deal in bars there?
Not to me, because I try to stay away from it. But yeah, I think it's still floating around quite a bit. That was kind of what inspired that song, like all of the people I know that do blow and I'm just like, "Ah man, you need to calm down."
So what part of town do you live in?
I live right by the old Wonder Bread factory.
Oh yeah, didn't that close down awhile back?
Yeah, it's condos now. They were saying it was going to be turned into an art space, but obviously people who want to do cool stuff need money, so now it's just a rent-raising disaster around there, and I really want to move.
I always thought that was such a great metaphor for Columbus. Like I'd be driving home from something downtown and I'd be catching all that awesome bread-making smell in the air. But then I'd think, "That's fucking Wonder Bread, that's some of the worst bread ever." And it was great because we'd say, "Wow, that's really nice to smell good bread, but it's actually not that good." Which was kind of how a lot of people who live and stay around Columbus kind of love/hate the place…. Okay, let's go from eating to drinking. In Wine Lips on the new album, there's a funny line where you say, "Tell your mother my French has finally improved." So was that song about an actual French guy that you knew?
Yeah, when I was a kid I dated a really rich dude from New York for a while, and I'd lied to his mom and said, "Oh yeah, I speak French." Then she got on the phone with me once and started talking in French, and my cover was totally blown. I ran into him, like I hadn't seen him in eight years, and we met up in New York and now he's dating some awesome smart hot chick. I thought it was embarrassing, so I kind of wrote about that.
So after some short stints in some local bands, how are you feeling being the front person? I only saw you at that Independents' Day fest in Columbus last summer, so I don't know how you were previously. Were you awkward, and are you feeling more confident lately?
Yeah, I definitely was, because I just am awkward. But especially just having a more solid band these past few years, I feel like I have a team of people who actually give a shit. When I first started putting a band together it was always guys saying, "Don't think I'm gonna carry your amp," and it's like, "I don't want you to!" And now I feel like I have a set group of dudes that actually gives a shit and is good.
So now you have a solid band and you've got people in your ear telling you to go to Nashville. So do you get people telling you that you should get "professional musicians?" You know what I mean? And does it get offensive or do you ever consider it?
I think both. I think when I started I wanted to be very country and go for a certain sound. I didn't know what I was doing and so I was playing simple country songs. But when I met Todd I was like "Wow, this is fucking great!" We just get along so well and we understand what I want to go for. He helps me finish songs quite often, and if we get stuck on something he gives suggestions. So he's almost like a co-writer, and I think it's a big part of my sound. So when people say, "You should have someone who plays hot licks" or whatever, it is a little insulting and a little weird. I think those people are also expecting me to sound like Jewel and other artists I get compared to a lot, which I sound nothing like.
And don't you have family in the band?
My husband is my bass player and my dad was my drummer, but not anymore.
It's hard enough to hold a band together without getting into pissy family fights, but I would imagine having family members, you might be holding back even more. So having your husband in the band with you hasn't been too hard?
Well it can be, but then marriage itself can be a pain in the ass, so I don't know if not having him in my band would help that.
One way that could be hard is with touring. You don't do super long tours, but you play out of town quite a bit, right?
Yeah, I play a lot, and I'm about to go on one for six weeks which is the longest stretch I've done. I've kind of been dreading that. I mean I'm looking forward to that because I've been bored at home. But six weeks is a long time.

Wedding Photography Basics Clarified
Once you've decided to become an Albuquerque wedding photographer, you have to prepare yourself to handle a number of the typical issues whenever capturing photo shoots during a wedding occasion. You might want to figure out how you are going to do the family portrait period. This job might look easy but if any of the relatives are not close by the photo shoot region it's going to be difficult for you to contact them up without the need of squandering your precious time. You should also collaborate with your clients concerning the total amount of hours they are going to need you in the wedding day. Although the majority of weddings have their own appropriate schedules at times delays can take place. As for instance, if you are supposed to complete all photo shoot periods by 8:00 p.m. but the garter toss and wedding cake cutting ceremony is delayed into 10:00 p.m. this means you should work extra hours. The best way to discuss concerning this isn't during the wedding ceremony itself. You must inform your customers about unforeseen possibilities once you were first hired. In that way, your customers will know that you must be paid for any additional hours of work needed of you. Learn more…
Wedding photographs are now becoming similarly essential with some other significant elements of the wedding ceremony that is why employing the proper Albuquerque wedding photographer is of premium value. It's not something that must be done by the last minute. As a matter of fact, it is advised to employ the same photographer who did the engagement session. By doing this, the relationship was already established which will help the photographer generate a more meaningful and memorable story via photographs as the wedding event rolls along. The photographer should be willing to attend rehearsals and report early in the special day to document perhaps even the unimportant and small things such as the bride having her make-up completed, the groom getting dressed and also other scenes which will fully capture the beauty and mood of the wedding. Bear in mind that only great photographers could fully record great memories hence spend just as much time in choosing the right individual as much as one spends in searching for the ideal wedding dress.
The Albuquerque wedding photographer is bound to experience rigid competition considering that Albuquerque, being the biggest city on New Mexico, has a lot of commercial activities going on including photography. There are people who were born on Albuquerque and decided to stay and create careers in photography right there in Albuquerque. Other individuals may have managed to graduate from the University of New Mexico that is based in Albuquerque and decided to remain on Albuquerque to take the gorgeous Albuquerque sceneries in pictures. There may still be a number of professional wedding photographers in Albuquerque who actually first arrived in Albuquerque as visitors, possibly for rock climbing in the Manzano and Sandia Mountains, but were intrigued by the attractive Albuquerque stuck and sites. All of these photographers are people who like to show off Albuquerque and would grab hold of each and every chance for wedding photography in Albuquerque. The best feature of these photographers is the superb know-how about the terrain. It's important to get an Albuquerque wedding photographer that knows how to get to various tourist destinations, and who'd be able to tell, for example, the best thing for wedding photography in the Rio Grande Valley.
Launching a wedding photography business in Albuquerque could be a very rewarding endeavor however there are various reasons why you should be ready to face plenty of obstacles. Apart from needing to serve the needs of your clients, once you turn into an Albuquerque wedding photographer you must know the way to handle many different personalities too. This kind of business requires you to have a sharp mind since you can't afford to make mistakes. This is because whenever you spoil an occasion the rumor regarding your efficiency could easily propagate around. The good thing is that if your performance is fantastic news about it will get around very quickly also. So the issue here is you need to obtain skills to generate different types of photo shoot choices. Additionally, you should be ready with any unpredicted situations, such as the need to add working hours as well as any technical problems because of damaged devices.
Essentially, a great photographer can build and capture light moments even when things initially appeared calm and mundane. It's important, thereby, that the wedding photographer be sociable as well as a great speaker, to be able to set everybody around at ease. In case the wedding is supposed to have kids playing a central function, it is essential to determine just how at ease the wedding photographer is with kids. In Albuquerque, a few places like the deep Rio Grande gorge are very panoramic as well as great for wedding photography, however one needs an Albuquerque wedding photographer who can enhance wonderful pictures of children even though the fright of animal creatures might be dogging them. In fact, a wedding photographer needs to be amiable and able to associate nicely with all of individuals. If the photography is taking place in a portion of the valley that has birds, the Albuquerque wedding photographer must be able to draw the kid's attention to them with a view to capturing a child with a beaver or any other bird.

A disgraced obstetrician who was found guilty of unprofessional conduct after a series of serious complaints by former patients will not be allowed to work as a doctor unless he passes neuropsychological testing.
Roman Hasil has not been registered to practice medicine since February, when the NSW Medical Tribunal upheld a number of complaints against him and found that he lacked the requisite mental capacity following a brain injury suffered in a fall.
An expert report in November last year found the 56-year-old had shown a "decline in his overall intellectual functioning", with vital skills affected, such as the ability to think quickly and flexibly.
However, Mr Hasil told a tribunal hearing last month that he wanted to work again.
In July, Fairfax Media revealed Mr Hasil had attempted to find surgical work at a Sydney hospital despite the fact that he was not registered.
He contacted the Sydney Private Hospital at Ashfield and asked about performing gynaecological surgery in the hospital's theatres. The hospital refused Mr Hasil access after reading previous Fairfax Media stories about his conduct.
The 2011 expert report found Mr Hasil had been living in a boarding house and spent much of his time wandering the streets. He had suffered serious depression and alcohol addiction, although he appeared to be making progress towards sobriety.
The Health Care Complaints Commission told the tribunal Mr Hasil should be disqualified from being registered until he complied with specific conditions, such as intensive rehabilitation, psychological intervention and random alcohol testing.
The commission submitted 15 complaints against Mr Hasil from his time as an obstetrics and gynaecological registrar at Lismore Base Hospital between October 2001 and January 2005. He was accused of failing to keep records, using inappropriate language, such as calling female patients "horse woman", "slut" and "whore", not wearing gloves, failing to induce a pregnant woman at a reasonable time and omitting to tell the NSW Medical Board of a drink-driving conviction within seven days.
Mr Hasil denied some of the charges, including that he was rude, rough or disrespectful to any patients.
The tribunal upheld complaints regarding record-keeping concerning six patients but concerns about his surgical and clinical technique were not established.
The commission also submitted that Mr Hasil was "not of good character", citing the earlier findings of a top-level New Zealand inquiry that he botched eight sterilisation surgeries in that country between 2005 and 2007 and had been drunk on duty.
The tribunal rejected that Mr Hasil was not of good character, as he had "not engaged in improper or unethical conduct".
In a judgment this month, the tribunal said the cognitive impairment resulting from the October 2009 brain injury meant he was unfit to practice medicine.
However, the tribunal ruled that if future neurological testing demonstrated that his impairment had improved enough such that he could resume practice, with appropriate conditions such as supervision, he could apply for re-registration.

Join as a member. There's a certificate with your name on it.
I love Drupal,... to a point. And I'm going to keep slogging away at it until I get it. But for 2 months I've been stuck on a problem that seems to me to be dumb.
I keep seeing reference to "custom content types" but Drupal appears to have no such function. Maybe it's a language thing, but at best Drupal really only has one kind of content type and all other content types are merely a modification of the main "article" content type.
I know, you're all rolling around laughing yourself silly at what I just wrote there but that's what my experience is showing me. Why?
Because so far I cannot find a way to accomplish the simple task of over-riding the title url of a post. That's it. Something thousands of Drupal sites do yet either I can't ask the question right or this is precious information allowed to only a select few.
I get sent down Views tangents that go nowhere. I never could understand how Views could have the ability to replace the url in the title since as far as I can tell from the 3000 hours I've spent fooling around in Views, it has no effect what Drupal produces in the "river of news."
I'm not asking for technical support. I'm just venting.
Why isn't this functionality more intuitive in the core functionality? This is something thousands of sites do and thousands more need yet getting there is harder than setting up the whole site put together. I got a site 95% done and I'm stuck on this dumb issue that I think should be more native to Drupal than it is?
I've asked dozens of times everywhere I can looking for someone, anyone, who could answer this question and I get a lot of verbose, truncated answers meant more for someone with 30 years university and a P.h.D in computer sciences. I even ended up going off into a tangent with the series of a dozen "modulettes" of the base_core/base_link family. Good grief! That's like 20 modules just so I can over-ride a URL? And it doesn't work!
So that's really my question: why is something that should be so simple to accomplish so complicated in Drupal?
Why should I have to load 63 modules and create a content type with 78 fields and 13 Views just to over-ride a URL? (and still can't!)
I know this is simple, I just don't understand why I'm not getting it.
help out
Hi ThomS,
It can indeed be daunting.
I know you mention you are just venting, but it did get my attention. I have build many drupal commerce site, so i might be able to help out. Could you phrase the question again. You mention override the title on a post. I would interpret it as 'how to change the title on a node'. But that is propably not what you meant?
I agree with
I agree with @joelbox-TotalOnline.
I have read your entire post and I don't know what you are trying to do. In one statement, you are trying to override a node title, and in another, you are trying to override the URL. The problem is that you are not stating your issue coherently for others to help you. If you are having a tough time because you don't understand what language to use, try using screenshots. Help us, help you :)
Drupal is slightly more
Drupal is slightly more difficult than most other CMS's because it's also slightly more versatile. Practically everything can be changed or modified - but that takes time and effort, that's all there is to it. There are many, many good books on "Drupal for beginners/intermediates/experts", and it certainly pays to go through one or more of them. Same thing for videos.
Now, with regard to your question, it is indeed not very clear what you want to change. A title and an URL are different things.
It may be possible that you want to override Drupal's default way of giving a path name to the node you're making (which is something like http://www.yoursite.com/node/3347 ). If you want to change that into http://www.yoursite.com/readthis , you can easily do this in the standard editing window, where you can define an "URL alias" for the node you're editing, close to the Submit button.
There are also more automatized ways to do something like this, such as the Pathauto module, and probably a bunch of similar functionality on taxonomy based (say: "tag based") modules.
Don't hesitate to specify your question - but do be specific.
So, your user creates
So, your user creates http://yoursite.com/123, and when the node is published on your front page, you want clicking on that node to lead the "clicker" to http://someothersite.com/456 ? Is that it? And the link to someothersite comes from a field filled in by the original publisher?
Shouldn't be too difficult, and there are undoubtedly many ways. From the top of my head (but probably not the most "politically correct" way to do this), you could dig into your theme's node.tpl.php. There you have all kinds of variables with which you can play around (if they're not listed there, they're also in your book on Pro Drupal 7 (a splendid book, by the way - and on drupal.org). You could then change the link to "itself", which Drupal puts there by default, and change that with the contents of the field which contains the Real target link.
When I said "not politically correct", that means that people frown upon putting too much php code in the theme files, and they are correct: it's not wise to do so (because updating your theme later on may become a bit of a hassle). But just to get your feet wet, you could give it a try this way. Shouldn't be too difficult - if at least you find node.tpl.php understandable - which it is. If that method works, you can try developing your own module and do it the proper way, with some "hook" which you call in your module. It's a little bit more complicated than taking the "easy" way (node.tpl.php), but it also works.
You'll probably/definitely need the Devel module, to show you all sorts of available variables with which you can work.
Possibly, you could also make it so that the contents of the "reference field" is displayed (and clickable) on the front page, and you could disable the link of your own Drupal title. Just a hunch.
And then there are probably a bunch of "redirect" modules, which would/could/should read the contents of the field your user fills in and guide the "clicker" nicely to the goal he should reach.
Yes, the pathauto module allows urls to be aliased via patterns, but they'll be local to the site. afaik, you can't set it up to alias to a different site.
and you can use the auto_nodetitle module to format nodetitles in a similar manner.

This link,
This link, http://coolestguyplanettech.com/downtown/drupal-seo-settings-configuring... , appears to be able to put you on the right track. I think your solution lies in the Token module. It appears that the D7 Token module (https://drupal.org/documentation/modules/token) Does understand the contents of fields (follow the link at the bottom, "Field tokens", to https://drupal.org/node/1299662). If I understand this correctly, you could make use of the tokenized contents of your user-defined-URL, and use it to fill the href of your node title. Don't ask me if and how and where (you'd have to study the Token documentation), but according to this information, it should be possible.
Another approach, instead of
Another approach, instead of meddling with Token and (probably) having to write your own module: why don't you make another frontpage alltogether? You could make a View of your "user defined URLs" with whatever text you want added, and use that View as your new front page. Or am I missing an important point here,
Your issue is not a difficult
Your issue is not a difficult one. I am not sure why the others in this thread are talking about creating your own
Module, editing template files and using devel. IMHO, they are overcomplicating your issue and only creating more confusion.
You are going to create a content type with three fields (title, body and URL). Then create a page view (using the views module) that lists those fields. Change the title field to link to the URL in the URL field rather than link to the node. Then go to site settings and change the default front page to your view page.
Since the URL field is the unique field to this content type, then use the "no results behaviour" in views to show the fields of the other content types as needed.
Essentially setup the view with your fields that emulate the frontpage as you need it but then set them to "Exclude from display". Add the URL field and use the replacement patterns to markup the "Rewrite the output of this field" to display as the URL content type. Then setup the "no results behaviour" on the same field to use the "replacement patterns" ("tokens") of the other content types. Don't forget to check off "Hide rewriting if empty".
So all you want is that the
So all you want is that the title link in the teaser for a specific content type should be replaced by the url from a link field in that content type. You'd want to do that wherever that teaser appears, which may not necessarily be homepage-only as your site grows. Let's try to do this in the simplest way possible, without adding more modules or views.
That link is generally applied to the node title at the theme level, so at the simplest, you need to override either a theme template function, or a theme node.tpl template file. What theme are you using?
Do you consider this to be business logic, ie you don't want your override to go away if somebody switches the theme?
I'm not at all familiar with
I'm not at all familiar with AdaptiveTheme and Pixture Reload. But since they are "just" themes, I'd imagine that the basics of other themes still apply.
I notice that in the Templates folder of Pixture Reload, there is no "node.tpl.php", but only page.tpl.php and comment.tpl.php. It would make sense to try to find out if AdaptiveTheme/Pixture understand the presence of node.tpl.php. If so, you could take the standard theme of Drupal 7 (Bartik) and meddle with what you find there. You could copy Bartik's node.tpl.php to the template folder of Pixture. Add some echo code here or there, just to see if it gets called at all. If so, we can do business. If not, the rest of this message is of no use.
Supposing node.tpl.php gets called, look at (roughly) line 85 or something of your "Bartik" node.tpl.php. That's where the node's title is formed.
As you will see, it's a line like this:
<h2<?php print $title_attributes; ?>>
<a href="<?php print $node_url; ?>"><?php print $title; ?>
Now, let's take a look at your user-supplied url field. I don't know its name. Let's say it's "user_supplied_url". In node.tpl.php (still supposing that file is called...), you could change the variable $node_url in the code above with something like this:
$user_url = $node->field_user_supplied_url['und'][0]['value'];
print '' . $title . '';
If that code works, clicking will not lead to the node, but to the url supplied by the user. I suppose that is what you wanted.
The ['und'] may be ['en'], ['fr'] or whatever, if your site has different languages. If it does not, the ['und'] will be applicable as written above. Using the priceless Devel module will tell you A Lot about what variables you can play with.
Further meddling can be done with for instance the drupal_is_front_page() function, to only do this substitution on your front page. You also have the $teaser variable in node.tpl.php to only do the substitution in teaser lists etc. You also know the node-type variable, so that you can only make the substitution only take place in the content type which has the user-supplied url.
I'll get scolded because of doing more php stuff in the template than I'm supposed to. So sue me :-).
Anyway, all this is entirely useless if you cannot use node.tpl.php in your theme. So, find that out first. If so, you're on your way. Good luck!
@modul: You should use
@modul: Use
field_get_items() to extract field values, to allow translation/language support. Also check there is a value in the field:
if ($variables['teaser'] && ($user_url = field_get_items('node', $node, 'field_user_supplied_url'))) {
print '' . $title . '';
That said, if it's desirable that this change is unaffected by future theme changes (business logic vs presentation logic), I would probably make a small module to implement
template_preprocess_node() and override
$variables['node_url'] there.
Seems that Pix is coded in
Seems that Pix is coded in such a way that you would have to pay to find out how to modify it.
The theme is built just like any other theme and it's built upon AT which is a theme framework which is pretty flexible. There is nothing unique or proprietary about it that would require you to "pay" to find out how to modify it. There is tons of documentation to support it. See http://adaptivethemes.com/documentation
If this change were to disappear every time there was an upgrade I'd lose all my hair.
This is why you create a subtheme rather than hacking apart a contributed theme. Also, if you use nicoz's approach above and use views then, there is no coding required and it is theme agnostic.
Good luck.
For a module-based approach,
For a module-based approach, implementing
hook_preprocess_node() should work. Something like:
* Implements hook_preprocess_node().
function mymodule_preprocess_node(&$variables) {
if ($variables['teaser'] && ($url = field_get_items('node', $variables['node'], 'field_user_supplied_url'))) {
$variables['node_url'] = check_url($url[0]['value']);
I'd recommend using a link field for the user-supplied url field, to get built-in validation etc. In which case the value will be
ThomS, it would be nice if
ThomS, it would be nice if you could add the module (.module and .info files) as an attachment. Maybe we can help you figure things out on the basis of actual code. No promises, though :-)
Yes, that's not the correct
Yes, that's not the correct array key if you are using a link field as I noted earlier. It needs to be
Glad you have it working,
Glad you have it working, ThomS. Actually, this story is a nice proof of what Drupal is: not so easy to grasp, but goddamn Strong. After all, it takes just a handful of lines of code to do what you intended to do. It also shows the importance of the Drupal community. Good luck with your site, and when it's operational, let's hear about it.
One last suggestion - ensure
One last suggestion - ensure the replacement only runs on the correct node type:
* Implements hook_preprocess_node().
function url_replace_preprocess_node(&$variables) {
if ($variables['node']->type != 'my_node_type') {

It is rare indeed when a reporter from a newspaper with an international reputation steps into a small-town business and announces he's there to do a story about its operations. But what is written can be disappointing, even regretful to the business that is the subject for the story.
It happened to Modern Auto Co. of Washington, one of the oldest automobile dealerships in this area. The reporter was Eli Saslow of The Washington (D.C.) Post. The story ran recently under headlines of "View From Washington, Mo." and in larger type, "On the Showroom Floor, Trying to Create a Recovery." It was in A section and undoubtedly read by hundreds of thousands of people.
Journalists are like any other professional people. They often criticize their own. In this instance, the overall story told a tale of how tough it can be selling vehicles in this economy. However, in this journalistic endeavor, the reporter seemed to come to Washington, Mo., with a preconceived notion or two — that everything was doom and gloom. His observations were out of focus overall and he was plain incorrect on some of his written conclusions.
The story is acceptable in detailing the daily life of a car salesman and in what the dealership is doing to promote sales.
Where the story wanders into not-factual land is when the reporter wrote that in Washington "manufacturing plants continue to close and only a handful of tourists have bought into the region's rebranding as a wine-tasting destination."
We are only aware of one manufacturing plant that is closing. That is Harman, scheduled to close its doors in June. There was no mention of a new aerospace company that is in the process of opening in a new plant in the Heidmann Industrial Park. He made no mention that some of our industrial plants are working two shifts, even on some Saturdays. The reporter failed to look at The Missourian's classified page where in some issues there are 70 help wanted ads. To us that means business for some industries and businesses is very good.
The reporter should have visited the wine country surrounding Washington where on a good-weather weekend thousands of people visit wineries — most of them from St. Louis. Even on good-weather weekdays, one-day tourists wander around our riverfront and visit shops along Front Street and Main Street. Often, he would see tourist buses parked while the passengers visit the downtown section.
"Handful of tourists?" It would take an army of hands to hold the tourists who flock into this area on weekends. They "bought" into the wine region's "rebranding" many years ago and never let hold of it.
Most journalists do a good job of reporting and are factual. This one didn't do the necessary legwork to learn what is going on in this area, which is feeling the economic downturn but we're not hurting as much as the people in many metro areas and in many rural sections across the country. As far as the economic climate is, almost all businesses will tell you profit margins are down and intense competition is among the reasons why. Overhead is up or the same, and revenue is down.
The late publisher and editor James L. Miller, Sr., probably would not have read The Washington Post story. "Too long," he would have said.
Yes, it was too long and too many words by a writer who came to town with his mind made up as to conditions in this river town.

What is an Active Learning (Flipped) Classroom?
The intention of active learning classrooms is to move from a traditional, passive, lecture-based model of instruction into an active, collaborative, inquiry-based model. This sort of classroom is inspired by the Scale-Up model (Student-Centered Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies) from North Carolina State University. It is also often referred to as a "flipped" classroom.
Active learning is a mode of instruction that can be done in traditional classrooms but it can also be enhanced with various levels of technology. A key function of the technology is facilitating and enabling small-group learning with ease of sharing.
Characteristics of an Active Learning Space
As the Scale-Up Web site illuminates characteristics of an Active Learning space are:
- Most of the class time is spent on "tangibles", "ponderables," and "visibles." Essentially these are hands-on activities, interesting questions and problems, or simulations.
- There is some lecturing, but that is mostly to provide motivation and a view of the "big picture," which is difficult for students to see when they are not familiar with the entire course content.
- If you are lecturing for more than 15 minutes in a typical 50-minute period, you are probably talking too much.
- Most of the class time is spent with the students working together. As an individual or group figures something out, they naturally (because of the way the class and room are structured) tend to share what they've learned with others.
- Things that used to take place inside the classroom, like content delivery, now take place primarily outside the formal learning space.
The more advanced applications of the content, along with anything they don't understand from their preparatory work, is discussed in class where they have the instructor and their peers nearby to help.
For further information please consult the Scale-Up Project and Flipped Teaching.

Taking your beloved pet in for surgery can be a scary proposition for both you and your pet. Knowing what to expect will often ease your concerns.
Here is what you and your pet can expect before, during and after surgery:
Surgery Day
Your pet… "Of course, I'm up bright and early. I think we're going somewhere today. My human filled my water bowl but my food bowl is empty. Huh?"
Please arrive at Pets In Stitches between 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. for convenient check-in for your pets. We start early in the morning so your pet is not without food any longer than necessary.
We offer all our pre-surgery forms online so you only need to bring your vaccine certificates with you. Forms can be filled out online and submitted OR printed out, completed and brought with you. The adult owner listed on the pre-surgery form must be present at admissions unless prior arrangements have been made with Pets In Stitches.
Consider taking your dog for walk before you arrive since they will be in a kennel all day. And give your pet some extra loving this morning to help calm their nerves.
Free-roaming cats may be brought in before noon, without an appointment and without vaccination papers.
Your pet… "Uh oh! They left me in the car. I hope my human doesn't take long."
When you arrive at the clinic, please leave your pet in the car until you have completed all paperwork. We make the check-in process very quick, especially if you have completed the forms beforehand.
At this time, we will collect payment. This allows you to concentrate on the post-surgery instructions at pick-up. For your convenience, we accept cash, credit and debit cards. Pets In Stitches does not accept personal checks.
Your pet… "Go time! My human is back and we are headed inside. I wonder what this is all about?"
Dogs must be on a leash or in a carrier for their safety.
Cats must be in a carrier also for their safety. Cats may be together in one carrier for admissions. However, cats must have their own carrier when they go home. Cardboard carriers can be purchased from Pets In Stitches for a minimal cost.
A staff member will weigh your pet and check their vitals. The veterinarian will perform a brief physical exam to assess their fitness for surgery. At this time, your carrier will be returned to you and you may leave. Don't worry. Your pet is in good hands.
Your pet… "I know my human wants the best for me and the people here are really nice. This won't be so bad."
We do want the best for your pets, just as you do. We make sure there are no signs of illness and no concerns before we proceed with the spaying or neutering surgery. If your pet shows signs of illness or if there are any concerns, surgery may be postponed and you will be contacted to pick up your pet. This would only be considered if it's in the best interest of your pet.
At the clinic
Your pet… "What's that smell? Oh, now I'm getting really sleepy…"
Many steps are taken to keep your pet pain-free, both during and after surgery. We use isoflurane anesthesia and hospital-grade monitors to evaluate tissue oxygenation, heart rate and respiratory rate. Isoflurane is one of the safest gas anesthesia used for pets. Male dogs and cats also receive regional nerve blocks at the surgical site for long-term pain control.
Our highly skilled and compassionate professional staff monitors your pet throughout the procedure. The spaying or neutering surgery is performed by an efficient and experienced surgeon. We have taken every precaution
to assure a rapid recovery for your pet.
Pets In Stitches also focuses on minimizing the risk of infection. Each pet has its own sterilized surgical pack for surgery and our facility and equipment are cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis. Our surgical suite looks and acts very similar to a human hospital.
Your pet… "Mmmmmm… warm… "
As your pet regains consciousness, they'll find themselves waking up on "The Beach." Our popular padded area is warmed, keeping our patients comfortable after surgery. Often they will fade in and out of sleep in this cozy area – some staying for quite awhile! We monitor their pain levels and move them as needed.
After Surgery
Your pet… "I hope my human comes soon. As nice as the people are here, I'm tired and ready to go home. Yawn! Seeing my human always makes me feel better."
Pets are released between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. on the same day of surgery. Please plan to arrive on time with your carrier or leash so we can release your pet to you. They are just as anxious as you are to go home!
Your pet… "My human is here! I can't wait to get home and curl up in my space. I wonder if I'll get a treat?"
When you pick up your pet, you will receive postoperative care instructions and any needed medications. We will inform you of any conditions or medical issues the veterinarian may have found during examination. These concerns may need to be shared with your regular full-service veterinary clinic.
If your pet was vaccinated for the first time, you may have to complete the vaccination series in 3-4 weeks with your regular veterinarian (other than the rabies vaccine). This will keep your pet in optimal health.
Your pet will be tired and tender for the next few days. Allow them to rest, making sure they are not disrupting their incision by licking or scratching. Confinement in a cage or a small room is best with short leash walks for elimination. Make sure you are adequately addressing their pain with the provided medication. Go-home sedation is available for dogs if your dog wants to run and play more than they should for the first seven days after surgery.
But if you have any concerns or the surgery area appears red and inflamed, please call us immediately at 937-630-3320.
Don't just take our word for it…
I want to thank you for being so warm and friendly when we first came into Pets In Stitches to have Tawny spayed.
I would give your facility a 10 plus for the friendliest and cleanest environment that makes you feel comfortable enough to leave your pet for surgery. Your prices are more than fair and less expensive than all the veterinarians that I contacted. Your staff was very caring and friendly to Tawny who was a little apprehensive when we first walked in.
I was surprised that you, Dr. Rastetter, personally came out and met Tawny and made us feel very comfortable that she was in your care. You even took her back to the operating room which I found very comforting.
I was surprised that she walked out so easily and didn't appear to be in pain. I was also relieved that you sent her home with pain pills so she wouldn't suffer from any pain after surgery.
We gave her one half pain pill as prescribed and she never acted as if she was in pain. I was very happy with her recovery as it only took her about four or five days to be back to her normal self. She healed quite quickly and her sutures were placed very nicely with a very small incision that really surprised me.
I don't think there is anything you could do to improve your facility or your ability to care so perfectly for our pets who are really our family members. The staff was very kind and caring. I felt very comfortable with leaving Tawny with you and was thrilled when she healed so quickly. I was very satisfied with your care and treatment of Tawny.
Thank you so much for calling and checking on her progress and for the wonderful care that you gave her while she was in your care.
Thank you so much for the great care you provide for animals! I appreciate how knowledgeable, professional, and kind you all are. Your love for animals is apparent.
I have been in your office on three different occasions and each time I was given your full attention. This morning, in watching how you interact with pet owners, each person/animal was treated with dignity. Even though it was a busy morning, your office ran like a well-oiled machine with each staff member pitching in and doing their part.
You all have been so helpful to me. I truly appreciate all the advice you have given. I have the utmost respect for Dr. Rastetter and her entire staff for serving our community in this capacity. You all provide an inexpensive option for those wishing to reduce pet overpopulation.
Hopefully one day, all animals needing a home will be able to find one. Thank you for offering your services.
I had called around, getting neuter quotes from local vets. Wow! It was expensive, too much money for our family's budget.
Pets In Stitches had been a recommendation of a friend of ours. They got us in two days after I made the call! And the price was a fraction of the vets I had called! I plan on taking our other two dogs there as well! 🙂
Pets In Stitches was really great with Roger! When my husband took him in he said they were very friendly and tried hard to help him get comfortable. He was really nervous and scared and they didn't just rush him back.
When I came to pick him up the staff went over all the information so that I would know just how to care for him. When they brought him out they didn't just rush us on our way, they let us take our time.
The day after his procedure they called to check in on him. I was unsure if his swelling was normal and was told how to help the swelling go down. Of course, after talking with them I saw all that info in the packet they had given me after surgery, but it was much nicer hearing it from them.
I love that they cared about Roger!
Pets In Stitches staff undergoes training specific to easing your pet's anxiety. We recognize that a less stressful experience promotes healing and recovery…
...and, as always, I am dedicated to providing affordable spay and neuter services in a professional environment.
Dr. Danielle N. Rastetter, DVM.

Lufkin, TX -- On Feb. 1, when the Space Shuttle Columbia broke apart and fell across East Texas and western Louisiana, no one could envision the magnitude of the event and the tremendous number of people and agencies that would eventually become a part the recovery effort. This is a look at the three-month operation to help get the NASA shuttle flying again.
Shortly after the tragedy, President Bush issued emergency declarations for Texas and Louisiana and within hours, federal and state agencies deployed teams to the disaster area to assist local fire, law enforcement and emergency management authorities. Initially, more than 60 agencies-including volunteer and private groups, responded with personnel, supplies and equipment. Disaster Field Offices (DFO) opened at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana and in Lufkin, Texas, and a satellite DFO was established in Fort Worth. The Lufkin DFO was the regional center of all search-related operations.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) coordinated the response and recovery operations. NASA, with the assistance of the Texas Forest Service (TFS), the U. S. Forest Service (USFS), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and many others, supervised the search for shuttle material.
From the beginning, the priorities for the agencies were three-fold: ensure public safety, retrieve evidence-pieces of the shuttle that could ultimately determine the cause of the tragedy, and reimburse expenses of state and local governments and private citizens who may have sustained property damage as a result of the accident and search.
NASA quickly identified potential hazardous materials, such as tanks containing toxic substances or unexploded pyrotechnic devices, and once found, the EPA secured and removed hazardous material immediately. The EPA also worked with state and local authorities to quickly clear school campuses and public access areas, and tested air and water samples taken along the flight path for shuttle contaminates. Using the resources of the Emergency Response and Removal Service (ERRS) contractors and the U. S. Coast Guard, Gulf Strike Team, EPA found no evidence of hazardous material in the atmosphere or drinking water supplies.
Early in the recovery effort, teams from NASA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Guard, Urban Search and Rescue organizations, the Department of Public Safety and others, conducted a successful search in East Texas to recover and bring home Columbia's crew.
Three days after the accident, local fire, police, volunteers, Texas Department of Public Safety officers (DPS), Louisiana State Police, and EPA, USFS, TFS and National Guard units from Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New Mexico began clearing shuttle debris in high-traffic areas. A one-page set of guidelines prepared by the State of Texas, NASA and EPA enabled the teams to collect, document, tag and transport non-hazardous debris without prior EPA or NASA clearance. These initial teams ended their search operations Feb. 17.
The TFS, under the direction of NASA, now assumed responsibility for search activities in the field, which involved extensive air and ground searches in a 10-mile by 240-mile corridor along the projected shuttle flight path. The TFS-through the Texas Interagency Coordination Center-called upon experienced management and firefighting crews from across the nation and Puerto Rico. The air operations, managed by TFS, included up to 36 helicopters and 10 fixed wing aircraft.
Also involved in the air search, but not managed by TFS, were motorized Para gliders, an ER-2 (similar to the U-2), a specially equipped DC-3, and the Civil Air Patrol (CAP), among others. CAP volunteers put in more than 800 search-days of flying in the weeks just after the accident and covered the flight corri...

Very few options. Was stuck going there and ended up with a side salad and a hunk of meat on it. Pretty much all I could eat. Tough to sit there with that and watch the gluten eaters have giant plates of delicious looking meals.
Walked over to see what is gluten free. I felt like having sauerbraten. The waitress did confirm there is flour in the gravy, but finished her statement with "It depends how sensitive you are and whether you have Celiac or are just intolerant.". Not true. I won't rate them bad since I didn't eat there, but that was as far as I would go. Other than that it looks like a in place an everyone was nice.

Chris Young has loved playing for the Nationals since he signed one month ago, but he may not stay with them much longer if he keeps pitching like he did Wednesday afternoon.
Young, brought to Nationals on a minor league deal as insurance behind their starting rotation, delivered his best performance of the spring against the Marlins at Roger Dean Stadium – two hits, one walk and two strikeouts over five shutout innings. The outing could convince an opposing team in need of a start to offer him a major league deal, allowing Young to trigger the opt-out clause in his contract by the March 24 deadline.
The Nationals plan for Young to start Monday, the day after his opt-out deadline. But will he still be around by then?
"I don't know," Manager Davey Johnson said.
Young plans to meet and talk with his agent between now and then to discuss his options. While he has enjoyed everything about the Nationals, he admitted the obvious – he would accept any major league opportunity rather than serving as depth for the Nationals at Class AAA Syracuse.
"It depends on what the alternatives are," Young said. "Until I know what else is out there, I can't say that. I do feel like I'm a big league pitcher. To turn down a big league opportunity to go to Triple A is probably not in my best interest. If I'm weighing Triple A options, this would be at the top of my list."
When Young signed with the Nationals on Feb. 21, he understood his role. If one of their five starters suffered an injury, he would be next up to join the rotation. If not, they would send him to Class AAA unless a major league team came calling. For now, Young has not weighed his options.
"There's a lot of stuff that I'm going to have to evaluate," Young said. "I love it here. I've had a great spring. I love being around these guys. It's a lot of fun. Being around a winning team, it's so much fun. You can tell how good this team is, and it's fun to be around. Coaching staff has been unbelievable, from [pitching coach Steve McCatty] and Davey. Mike Rizzo has been awesome. Even my experiences with Mark Lerner, everything has been great. There's nothing not to like about being here."
Young's performance today may have opened eyes elsewhere. Even while topping out at 84 miles per hour with his fastball, Young fooled the Marlins all afternoon. He struck out Giancarlo Stanton swinging at a slider in the first inning and induced three swing-and-misses from Stanton during his start. After a leadoff walk to Juan Pierre, he battered the strike zone. At one point, he retired nine consecutive hitters, even as the radar gun showed 79 to 82 most of the day.
"I don't know where my velocity is. I really don't care," Young said. "I've never relied on velocity. It helps. When I've had better velocity, I seem to get more foul balls and not as many quick outs. Sometimes it's run my pitch count up. I try to focus on making good pitches. My arm strength is not where it will be. It comes as the season progresses. But it's going to keep better and better."
On the mound, Young looks like a silo in the middle of a field. At 6 feet, 10 inches, he is one of the five tallest pitchers in major league history. He can fool hitters with low velocity because they so rarely see his arm angle, and he moves fastballs up and down in the strike zone to further deceive hitters.
"He's a heck of a pitcher," Johnson said. "He knows how to pitch. We certainly had troubles when we faced him, and he's the same kind of guy. He reads hitters well. Mixes pitches up. Doesn't give into anybody."
The outing didn't impress everybody. Before the game, one National League scout indicated Young had not shown enough during the spring to convince an opposing club to add him to its major league roster. Another scout described his outing today in candid terms: "Good results for the [stuff] he runs up there. Still all about angles and deception."
Young finally put severe shoulder surgery behind him last year, when he made 20 starts for the Mets over the final three months of the season. Given Young's track record when healthy, his strong results today could be enough to get a team to bite.
The Padres, one of Young's former teams, appear to be in need of starting pitcher. The Angels' already thin staff took a hit today when right-hander Tommy Hanson left a start with right triceps tightness, three frightening words for a pitcher. The Twins could use another starter, and they had a scout in attendance this afternoon.

Here are a few pictures of my class performing The Mitten by Jan Brett. I printed animal headbands from Jan Brett's web site. One student was the narrator and the rest of the children joined in throughout the reading.
