StopTech Balanced Brake Upgrades on Winning Turner Motorsport BMW M3 in Miller Grand-
Torrance, California USA -- StopTech's Balanced Brake kit provided the performance braking advantage needed by Bill Auberlen and Justin Marks, to earn the pole and win the Miller Grand-Am Cup 200 race, held at the Las Americas Autodromo in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Auberlen and Marks co-drove the No. 96 Turner Motorsport BMW E46 M3 equipped with a standard StopTech 332mm E46 M3 front kit with stock brakes on the rear. Grand Am Cup GS class cars must run stock master cylinders and stock rear brakes. StopTech stainless steel brake lines and racing pads were fitted on both the front and rear of the vehicle and the team used Motul RBF 600. The balanced brake system contributed to the first win for the Turner Motorsport E46 M3 in Grand-Am Cup racing.
Marks started from the pole position, and led for 51 laps before teammate, Auberlen, took over to complete the win, with the StopTech-equipped Turner Motorsport M3 showing consistent handling, braking and speed in the 11 turns of the 1.6-mile Las Americas Autodromo track.
It was Justin Marks' first Grand-Am Cup win, and he enthused about the BMW's performance. "We knew that the M3 would do well at this track, and Turner and H&R did a fantastic job of preparing the car, and doing the setup for this race. The StopTech brakes allowed me to consistently brake deep and contributed significantly to my fast lap times.
Bill Auberlen, who won a pair of championships for BMW last season, credited excellent pit work for keeping the M3 near the front of the field, despite a tough race in the oppressive Caribbean heat. "The car got very hot soon after I got in, and I quickly ran out of water. The track was hard on brakes, but StopTech brake system never faded and was strong at the end of the race. This was a great event and really unlike anything we have in America. I can't wait to come back again next year."
Unlike all of the other races, this round of the Grand Am Cup championship will not be broadcast on The Speed Channel. The series' next race is April 1-2, at California Speedway in Fontana, California, where the Grand Am Cup ST class will re-join the schedule. With their win, Auberlen and Marks moved up in the overall standings and will be a strong contender for the championship.

Road Taken
Brian Drier '86
Assistant professor of English, Nagaoka University of Technology, and jazz singer
I entered Colgate as an Alumni Memorial Scholar, after a year stringing tennis rackets, busing tables, and singing in a none-too-talented and none-too-busy bar/garage band. I created my own major, Human Liberation: Theory & Praxis, which drew on ideas found in philosophy, religion, sociology, and political science.
I attended law school at SUNY-Buffalo and worked in the Appeals Bureau at Legal Aid of Nassau County for seven years.
Then I took a "temporary" leave to serve as an assistant language teacher on the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme.
Returning to New York, I entered Columbia University's Teachers College, where I won the John Fanselow award (essentially a recognition of creativity and originality).
I returned to Japan a few days before Sept. 11, 2001. The next April, I began teaching at Nagaoka University of Technology. By day, I'm a tenured professor; by night, a jazz singer in Tokyo and Yokohama.
In Japan, there is a concept called en, the fateful connection that marks something as meant to be: a person, a place, perhaps one's calling. I met my wife at a jazz club in Tokyo (we were both checking out a "vocal clinic"). The house that we've built is the lucky 13th in our area. Coincidence?
My experiences at Colgate fostered my curiosity; my deep and abiding interest in music and language; love of improvisation; and reliance on intuition. In the Colgate years, I found myself, found my feet, and found a path to the next bend in the road.

What is your job title?
National Team Programs Athlete Coordinator, U.S. Rowing Association
What was your role at the 2008 Olympics and Paralympics?
Assistant team leader for the Olympic team and the team leader for the Paralympic team.
What did your job entail in Beijing?
My function is to eliminate any obstacles to the athletes competing successfully. We coordinated the athletes' activities as well as organized meals and transportation — basically ensuring that they had everything they needed. We also acted as liaisons between the team and the international rowing association, so we were the representatives for them, taking care of any issues that needed to be resolved.
What challenges did you face?
The Paralympics was my first trip as a team leader by myself and I was the only U.S. Rowing staff person there — that was really exciting. It was also the first time that rowing was a Paralympic event, so it was a big test for us to see what we could do. We've only had an adaptive rowing team for four years, so this was our first time at that level of competition, and we won two medals out of the four events we competed in.
Tell us what it was like to be there.
I was there for a total of seven weeks, which was a long time, but being at the Olympics and Paralympics was just an amazing experience. You have the highest level of athletes in the world, and everyone is so dedicated and so focused that it's really inspiring. There's a lot of buildup and it's something many people have been working toward all their lives, so it's a very intense feeling. Everything has to be perfect, at the highest level, and for myself and the other team leader, that's why we're there, to keep everything running smoothly so that the athletes can do their best. Being around that kind of energy amps you up and makes you want to do your best. It's a great environment for sports.
How did your Colgate education prepare you for your work?
My degree in international relations has definitely been very helpful. The international rowing scene is not in North America at all, so I correspond with other teams. I speak French, Dutch, and Spanish, so I've been able to use that quite a bit. Having traveled a lot and studied abroad, being familiar with other places is always really helpful in this job.
My experience on the Colgate crew team for four years, and being captain, were instrumental. I think about it every day that I'm here — I learned so much — and I wouldn't be here if I hadn't been on the team. I feel lucky for that. I wish those girls would get more recognition and the support that they deserve because they're really hard-working student-athletes. That experience is invaluable for the rest of your life.

Adonal Foyle '98 (left) came to campus in September to talk
with Colgate students about the organization he founded, Democracy Matters. "Our dream that regular citizens can represent each other is one that is running away from us," said Foyle during a brown bag lunch in the O'Connor Campus Center, sponsored by Colgate's chapter of Democracy Matters. Leading the fight to get "big private money" out of politics, Foyle founded Democracy Matters at Colgate in 2001. Now with an active presence on 80 college campuses, the nonpartisan organization gives students a voice in issues of democracy. For Foyle, who also delivered an evening lecture at Memorial Chapel, the recent national election was a momentous occasion: it was the first time he voted in a U.S. presidential election. A native of a tiny Caribbean island, he came to the United States when he was 15 and became a U.S. citizen last year. "This [was] such a watershed moment for me. To be able to vote in this historic election [was] unbelievable," he said.
Dan Arment '83 has gone from wearing a football helmet
as the Colgate Raiders' outside linebacker to becoming president of Riddell, the official helmet of the NFL. Easton-Bell Sports recently promoted Arment to the position after his years as executive vice president and general manager of mass market business. He previously was the vice president of national sales for the Speedo Division of the Authentic Fitness Corporation, and also has marketing experience with Playtex, Mennen, and Revlon. Arment and his wife, Julie Collishaw Arment '86, live in the Chicago area with their three children.

Abstract: "This paper establishes the existence of string-like static solutions of the coupled Einstein-matter-gage equations. Such solutions have important implications in cosmology and quantum physics. It is shown that for a prescribed string location, the system possesses a continuous family of distinct finite energy solution configurations. The proof relies on a two-side shooting method. Power-type decay estimates at spatial infinity are also obtained."

On the Road
Drive the thriftier car. If your family owns both a sport utility and a sedan, get into the habit of taking the smaller vehicle whenever you can. By driving the Toyota Camry instead of the Ford Expedition to the mall, you are saving about nine miles per gallon in suburban driving. After 20 10-mile trips, you'll have saved about $11.
Steer away from rush hours. Idling in bumper-to-bumper traffic uses precious gas unnecessarily, and it pollutes more, too. Don't waste time in lines at the fast-food drive-through; go inside for your Extra Value Meal―and get extra value from your gas.

Indie RPGs - 9 Common Mistakes that Indie Game Studios Should Avoid
Gamasutra shares with us Ichiro Lambe's views (an indie developer) on 9 common mistakes that indie developers should avoid.
They are short and compact, so here are all of them:
These are pretty much the common mistakes many people make with any software development project, maybe even most work period. :) Still, good pointers.
Number 9 is a common mistake of authors, too.
Whiner players as there's more and more, here and elsewhere, would better read with care this. Multiple points target them directly.

Is it just us, or are kids developing 'tudes younger and younger these days? Their sass factors have skyrocketed in recent years, although we're not entirely sure why. Take those evil glaring munchkins, for example. All we have to say is yikes.
Chinese takeout is a classic American staple, and fortune cookies are easily the greatest part of the meal. Why? Surprise fortunes are inside, duh!
These days, it seems like dogs are getting more and more into the dressing like a human game. That or we're just getting more obsessed with clothing our canines in mini versions of stuff we wear. (The latter is true.) Either way, there are zero complaints on our end, because the results are just so stinkin' cute.
When it comes to taking fashion risks, awards shows are the ideal time to just buck up and go for it. There are like, millions of people watching, after all. That being said, it does take a whole 'lotta guts to ere on the side of crazy couture, but this year's Oscars were bound to have some of those fashion risks, right? You betcha! Check out the craziest getups from the Red Carpet.
How is it possible dogs come up with ways to be more flippin' adorable every single day?! It's sort of ridiculous to be honest. Not that we're complaining or anything, but the furballs are just so darn cute, it's grounds for a little suspicion.
Valentine's Day is tricky. Most people either love the mushy stuff or dread it for weeks beforehand, so there's really no right way to go about celebrating the holiday. Lovebird festivities usually entail red roses, lots of chocolate and super sentimental things that make some people want to gag.
Since tattoos are permanent and all, it's pretty important to choose a design you'll want to have for the rest of your life. The thing is, sometimes people don't exactly think about the whole 'forever' part of inking, and that's where hilarity comes prancing in.
Dogs have it good these days. Like, really good. They're gaining all sorts of attention just for being fashionable or looking like a human. How do they do it? We haven't the slightest clue. All we know is these days they're gaining more casual fame by being photographed in their owner's backpacks like it's no biggie (and it's ridiculously cute).
We first introduced you to the phenomenon that is dogs with eyebrows a few weeks back. It's hilarious stuff for the simple reason that animals just don't belong with human 'brows. But while they might not belong together, animals sporting little forehead caterpillars is straight up hysterical.
Is it just us, or does it seem like sloths are getting more popular lately? Baby versions, ones with Skrillex hair-- you name it, it's out there. They've been around for thousands and thousands of years, but maybe it's one of those things where people are just now understanding the little guys. Whatever the case, there are zero complaints on our end since they're so ridiculously cute.

Current Research and Interests
My research area is human prospective memory, our everyday ability of remembering/not forgetting to perform an intended plan at a certain time point in the future. I am investigating brain mechanisms underlying prospective memory by using functional brain imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging. Taking advantage of recent development of an in-laboratory task paradigm in prospective memory research, I have so far clarified that certain areas in the frontal lobes, especially Brodmann area 10 in the anterior prefrontal cortex, as well as the medial temporal lobes are activated when subjects are required to perform a prospective action at a certain time in the future while doing currently ongoing activities (e.g., Okuda et al., Neuroscience Letters, 1998). Apart from prospective memory, I am also interested in cerebral representation of the 'future' in general, and have revealed that the most anterior part of the frontal pole is greatly required in thinking events in the far future, along with activity in the medial temporal lobes (Okuda et al., NeuroImage, 2003).

Few things about the thermostat (map one).
The control of the engine cooling system with a conventional thermostat(regular) is determined by the coolant temperature only, while the characteristic of the map thermostat, are that temperature can now be influenced specifically within the thermostat control range.As a result the engine can be operated at a higher coolant temperature in the partial load range, on the other hand, lower coolant temperatures are intentionally set under full load operating conditions. This achieves more eficient combustion thus reducing fuel consumption and pollutant emissions.
The map thermostat is controlled by the engine control module dependent on a characteristic map, determined by the following factors: engine load,engine speed,vehicle speed,intake temperature.
The thermostat still works like conventional one (this one opens at 110Celsius degree ), however, a heating element is additionally integrated in the expansion element . In the event of control intervention by the DME control module, power (12 V) is applied to the heating element integrated in the thermostat. Heating the expansion element means that the thermostat opens at lower coolant temperatures 80- 103Celsius degrees.
The line connection and the function of the characteristic map thermostat are monitored by the diagnosis function in the DME control module. Any faults are stored in the fault code memory of the DME control module. When the coolant gauge is showing the mid-position for coolant temperature means that it reached o 75°C - 113 Celsius degrees.
Knowing this , few things that will trigger the map cooling thermostat code could be :
-fault thermostat heating element,
-fault in the coolant temp sensor (the one on the thermostat housing),
-any wiring problems with the above sensor/element,
-a mechanical fault in the thermostat itself.
Any of this could cause the coolant to be out of map , and the code will be stored by the DME.
The thermostat element can be checked with a voltmeter for continuity/OHM, and if receives 12 V at the connector when temp is 73-103C. The thermostat itself can be checked using a infrared thermometer , taking values at the hose after the thermostat.

By ANNE RICE; Anne Rice, whose most recent novel is ''The Queen of the Damned,'' often reviews true-crime books.
Published: January 29, 1989
BLIND FAITH By Joe McGinniss. Illustrated. 381 pp. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. $21.95.
On Sept. 7, 1984, a beautiful New Jersey housewife named Maria Marshall was shot to death in the front seat of her husband's car during an alleged robbery. The couple, on their way home from a night of dining and gambling in Atlantic City, had pulled off the road so that Rob Marshall could examine a suspicious tire. Mr. Marshall was hit over the head in the dark and awoke to find his money gone, and his wife murdered.
Or so he later told the police, and his three heartbroken sons - handsome, healthy adolescent boys devoted to their mother and father.
Mr. Marshall was a community leader in the New Jersey town of Toms River, a frequent figure at the local country club, a man envied and admired for his accomplishments and his seemingly picture-perfect family. But his story of robbery and murder just didn't make sense. Friends and acquaintances doubted him from the start. And unbeknownst to the shattered family, the police immediately began to investigate Mr. Marshall's complicity in the murder.
It was soon revealed that he had been having an affair with a married woman in the community, that he was in dire financial straits and that Maria's life had been insured for $1.5 million. Then telephone records and statements made by Mr. Marshall's mistress led to the possibility of hired killers.
''Blind Faith'' is the story of this greedy and callous crime and its devastating impact on the Marshall family. It is also the story of the complex police investigation and trial that led to Mr. Marshall's 1986 conviction and death sentence. It is an irony that though Mr. Marshall is in prison today, the man indicted for actually pulling the trigger went free, apparently for lack of evidence.
The book offers suspenseful and engrossing reading, with a courtroom drama that is cathartic as well as gripping. We are given interesting descriptions of the police who investigated the case, of the accused hirelings and of Kevin Kelly, who successfully prosecuted Mr. Marshall. But the American true-crime chronicle is at its most effective when it focuses on the victims of the crime, illuminating the full horror of what violence does, rather than merely concentrating on the criminal. And ''Blind Faith'' is no exception. Much time is devoted to the Marshall boys and what they have suffered. We come to know Maria Marshall through them and to respect the depth of their loss.
Where the book fails is in its attempt at broader social commentary. From the beginning, Joe McGinniss, the author of ''Fatal Vision'' and other books, makes it clear that he loathes Toms River. Without apology, he describes its development and its mores in such snide terms that his voice becomes intrusive and nasty. It is obviously his position that Rob Marshall, in his shallowness and avarice, was a perfect reflection of the town and therefore his crime was connected to its values. But there are precious few details cited, or quotations recorded, or incidents recounted to back up this endless denunciation of the country-club crowd for its supposed moral bankruptcy.
The assumption seems to be that we all understand that upper-middle-class people who belong to country clubs and who care about the cars they drive and the clothes they wear are bad. One even gets the impression that the accused gunman, presented as a ruthless killer who may have committed other such crimes, should be perceived as somehow less repulsive than Mr. Marshall, because the gunman isn't middle-class, doesn't put on airs and doesn't wear blue blazers. Surely that can't be Mr. McGinniss's intention.
The connection between the community and the crime fails finally for two reasons. One, there are towns all over America inhabited by people like those who live in Toms River, and though there is much to say about the moral and spiritual climate of those places, one has to be aware that their citizens are not going out in droves to hire people to murder their spouses. Secondly, Maria Marshall and her wholesome, loving sons were also models in Toms River. Are we to assume that they got what they deserved?
When all is said and done, Rob Marshall emerges as a monster by anyone's standards, a deeply flawed and subsequently dangerous individual who was apparently incapable of realizing on any moral level what the murder of his wife really meant. What separates him from the rest of us is perhaps more relevant and interesting than what he has in common with those around him, who, whatever their faults, do not murder people. Yet there is no penetrating analysis of him or of his parents and background. In fact, the deep examination of persons and places that often enriches the true-crime narrative and establishes its importance in contemporary letters is lacking here.
We are left with a small story, tragic though it is, of interest no doubt to the participants, but with few larger social lessons. And the book, for all the writer's skill, may be a good read, but only because of its sensationalism.

The immigration department in the southern border city of Livingstone said the number of Zimbabweans crossing into Zambia daily had risen from 60 to 1,000, with long lines at the border post each day.
Mulako Mbangweta, an immigration official, said she feared the situation was getting out of control in Livingstone, a tourist hub because of the nearby Victoria Falls. "We now fear the security risks that can be posed by this swollen influx," Ms Mbangweta said. She said most people crossed into Zambia to buy staple goods such as bread, maize meal and milk, which are unavailable in Zimbabwe, and then returned home. South Africa and Botswana have also seen an upsurge in cross-border shopping.
Ms Mbangweta gave no estimates of the number of Zimbabweans sneaking into Zambia illegally and staying. But there is mounting concern among Zimbabwe's neighbours that they will be inundated with destitute refugees.
Aziz Pahad, South Africa's deputy foreign minister, said this week that neighbouring countries could not sustain current levels of refugees.

AMID Yorkshire's celebrations after LV= County Championship promotion and the impressive achievements of reaching a domestic Twenty20 final and the Champions League, one of the memorable images of 2012 saw Rich Pyrah batting with a broken hand.
Pyrah came out to bat with a plaster cast on his left hand during the opening week draw against Kent at Headingley in April in a failed bid to help his side avoid the follow-on after a fielding accident earlier in the match.
It was the start of a frustrating summer for the 30-year-old all-rounder, who was not allowed to build on a memorable campaign the year before in which he scored a maiden hundred and took the only five-wicket haul in his first-class career to date.
In all, he missed 12 Championship, eight Clydesdale Bank 40 and six Champions League matches due to the broken hand, a broken finger on the same hand later in the season and an eye infection to boot.
But now, well on his way back to full fitness, Pyrah is determined to make up for lost time in 2013.
"I felt as though I was pretty much at the top of my game going into last summer," he admitted, having also taken advantage of time away from the game to have an operation to repair some damage to his right knee, first suffered when he dislocated it in a 40-over match at Kent during 2011.
"So, after the season before, to have such a frustrating summer and to not get the number of games in a row that I'd have liked was disappointing to say the least.
"It was extremely frustrating, especially seeing the lads going well in the Twenty20s in South Africa.
"I'd played in every game up to the Champions League and for the last four years.
"To miss out on that was devastating.
With no English teams going back for the next one, that makes it even worse really.
"Hopefully that's all behind me now and I can get my place back for the start of the season and show the kind of form I did a couple of years ago."
To be able to do that, however, will be easier said than done with competition for places within the White Rose squad now fierce following the arrivals of fellow all-rounder Liam Plunkett, above, and opening bowler Jack Brooks, above left.
"Strength in depth was something we struggled with last year due to a few injuries," added Pyrah, who will return to match action during the county's pre-season tour of Barbados through mid-March.
"We were short on a few bowlers, so it's good to have that depth now.
"With the two new signings and the young lads putting themselves in the frame with some good performances in South Africa, you'll have really deserved it if you get picked.
"You just have to look after yourself and make sure that you're ready for when that chance comes along."

Dubai SME an agency of Department of Economic Development and the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly promote small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the UAE.
The agreement was signed by Abdul Basit Al Janahi, CEO Dubai SME and Abdulla Mohammed Al Awar, CEO of the DIFC Authority.
Commenting on the agreement, Abdul Basit Al Janahi said it will provide a comprehensive incentive package for SMEs and facilitate their access to the world-class operating environment and knowledge resources in DIFC as well as establish exceptional partnerships for growth.
"The MoU also shows how institutions in Dubai can create the perfect synergy to promote the SME sector, projected to lead growth worldwide, and achieve the larger development goals of the emirate," added Al Janahi.
Abdulla Mohammed Al Awar said: "SMEs play a strategic role in developing the national economy and supporting the UAE's long-term plans to promote innovation and achieve sustainable growth. DIFC is proud to motivate SMEs through providing a business platform for them to exchange expertise and best practices with the elite global companies in DIFC".
The MoU states that DIFC will offer a number of incentives to Dubai SME members to start their business in the free zone and preferential treatment in DIFC's procurement, as laid down by the Government Purchasing Programme (GPP).
Dubai SME will provide necessary assistance and information to the DIFC Authority to identify qualified SMEs and will also brief SMEs on procurement opportunities and procedures at DIFC.

Log IN OUT, BLG Logistics and W & W shipping
Guys, when you drop a car in Munich at Log IN OUT they give you some BLG Logistics paperwork but no information on the shipping company. I've got my VIN# but no Lading #, Cargo ID, or anything else. So my question is, does BLG exclusivley use W&W to ship it now? I've read the great "Track your BMW" thread, but it's a few years old and things change a bit. I've put my VIN# into the W&W tracking site, but nothing comes up. Now, it's only been 10 days, but am I on the right course here or should I be looking somewhere else? Thanks, guys.
Email them and they will give you all the info you need to track your car. I dropped off my car in Hamburg 9 days ago and it's already on its way home!
Good luck!!
Or just go to W&W site and search your vin, if they are shipping it it will show you all the info.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Bimmer App
If W&W tracking is used, VIN# is placed in Cargo ID
Hey R.J.,
I dropped of at LOGINOUT in Munich on 10/26. This morning, I was able to see it on the W&W tracking site. I put my VIN in the Cargo ID box - the box on the far RIGHT.
My car was listed as arriving at Bremerhaven on 10/30 and left port 11/8 on the Queen Sapphire.
Good luck tracking it down.
No joy for me. I keep getting "No Records Found" when I input my VIN. :cry:
Yuck. Maybe it has not made it to Bremerhaven yet? That would explain why it is not showing up in the W&W system. Maybe an email to LogINOUT as ZzZzBMW and JMH suggested will get you more information.
(Just for kicks I searched for my VIN and it's still in there--surprising given that the car was offloaded two years ago this coming Saturday. So don't worry, someone or something somewhere knows where your car is. :D)
The time from dropoff to port and shipment seems to have a lot of variability in it and how fast (or slow) it goes seems to depend on a little luck. It took almost three weeks from my dropoff on the 27th of September for my car to leave Bremerhaven on the 17th of October. However, I have seen guys comment on making it in less time. My car is finally in the States after six weeks from dropoff. My timing is probably going to be on the high side of BWM's shipping time estimate.
Thanks for your help, guys. I'm always heartened by the willingness of the 'festers to help out a fellow member. :thumbup:
I seem to remember a post by J Spira last year something to the effect that due to some German law a car had to sit at the loading dock for 5 days before it can be loaded onto a ship. It sounds crazy, but this is what I seem to remember. I tried searching for this post but couldn't find anything, but trying to come up with the search terms returned a lot of results.
I know that our car was dropped off at LOGINOUT at the Munich airport 25 May 2012 and wasn't loaded on the faust until 4 June 2012, 10 days later. I think that the loading date was shown on the WWL site. I also seem to remember that the information didn't show up on the WWL site until at least two days after the boat left the dock.
I created an extensive tracking thread for our car starting in May last year if anyone wants to search for it.
ETA: Here's the link:http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...light=tracking. It was fun to go back and read! I sure did spend a lot of time tracking the car!
It's a U.S. law (for exporters) and it's 72 hours.
More excellent information. That explains things. Thanks guys.
So it's the dropoff people that give you the ship info, not your dealership?
And once the vehicle is off the ship in north america, will the staus change to something like "Delivered - Halifax" or wherever...?
Yes once your car has been shuttled to the loading dock they can tell you which vessel it's on etc
from there you can track it via the vessel's website
Simply send the LongOut folks an email 1-2 weeks after your dropped it off.

Annual Report
Boatwright Memorial Library, 2011-2012
Learning, Innovation, Connections, and DiscoveryAt the Boatwright Memorial Library, the Parsons Music Library and the Media Resource Center, we engage in new, different and exciting roles – and defy old stereotypes. We draw on our experience and expertise to create collections, experiment with new technologies, and implement services and programs in support of the curriculum and the furthering of the Richmond Promise. This annual report highlights our accomplishments during 2011-2012. Each endeavor described here grows from the combined effort and talent of all library staff. The spirit of collaboration and commitment to service make the libraries the heart of the University of Richmond. Our diverse community of users and our dedicated staff are the heart of the libraries.
Kevin Butterfield
University Librarian
How do libraries remain relevant to today's students and faculty? For Boatwright Library, the answer is a combination of old and new. Changes with both digital and print information provide opportunities to experiment with new ways of accessing collections and providing services that promote learning, innovation, connections and discovery. Librarians continue to engage with students and faculty through the First Year Seminar Library Labs as well as upper-level courses, by introducing students to deeper layers of information. Librarians taught 317 library instruction sessions for 3,744 students in over 20 academic departments. Research appointments, instant messaging and e-mail continue to be effective ways to support student, faculty and staff information inquiries. Librarians continued to work closely with faculty to design effective library research assignments and to select print, electronic and media resources that support the curriculum.
The Music Library relocated Dance materials from Boatwright Library to the Music collection in the Modlin Center for the Arts, in order to assist students and faculty with their research and performances. The Media Resource Center created the Film Studies/World Cinema area to provide study and discussion space for the new Film Studies Program. The space also highlights the Media Resource Center's long-standing commitment to international film study and support on campus.
A new Faculty Publications Display debuted in the first floor Research and Collaborative Area, highlighting faculty-authored books and articles for the entire campus to peruse. Podcast interviews with faculty authors and student researchers continue to be featured on the library's website, allowing the campus community to learn about current research interests.
Interlibrary Loan Services received high ratings in a Spring 2012 user survey. Library staff members are using the feedback to make further improvements with this essential service. Boatwright borrowed 3,585 interlibrary loan items in the past year and lent 6,756 items to other libraries in the United States and abroad. Over 3,000 items were delivered directly to faculty and staff offices through our document delivery service.
Digital Library Services provided imaging support for various faculty research projects in the Sociology, Anthropology and History departments. The department worked closely with the Digital Scholarship Lab by providing data consultation on the Lab's Visualizing Emancipation project.
Integrating the library in campus and community life is part of our mission. During 2011-2012, Boatwright Library co-sponsored and supported the In Common with Boatwright Library Program with the Office of Common Ground, One Book/One Campus Program, Hispanic Heritage Month, and Black History Month. Special topic LIBGUIDES continue to promote opportunities for further exploration and study on pertinent campus interests, such as Faculty Work-Life Balance, Recreational Reading, One Book, One Campus and Mobile Applications. Throughout the year, special tours are offered for area high school students, Osher Institute members, alumni and other community users.
The library serves as an intersection of ideas and interests on campus. Library staff members created an energetic "Cultural Connections" series this past year. A diverse mix of faculty and staff members contributed to weekly discussions based on a unique theme that provided the opportunity for a conversation on how various aspects of the topic were related.
Special exhibits offer the opportunity to highlight interests within the libraries, but also throughout the campus. Many students approached the library with their own ideas of exhibits. Exhibit highlights included Caribbean Literature, World AIDS Day, Westhampton Lake, A History of Boatwright Library, and UR Songs.
Campus Celebrity posters were created in the past year to advertise the library as a place to pursue knowledge and a love of reading. Students enjoyed recognizing a wide variety of faculty and staff from across campus among the stacks in Boatwright.
The highly successful International Film Series, co-sponsored by the Media Resource Center and International Education, continues to attract over 5,000 viewers from the campus and the Richmond area. The library is an active member of the Richmond Academic Library Consortium (RALC) which provides resource-sharing and cooperation with Richmond area academic libraries.
The library serves as the interdisciplinary crossroads of the university with our varied collections - electronic, print, media and archival. Students, staff and faculty can use the collections and the specialized staff of the library to learn about any topic that interests them. In the past year, users performed over 600,000 searches in research databases and 397,000 searches in the library catalog.
The library also launched experiments with different ways of reading and accessing materials. Users are encouraged to assist us in selecting materials through our new demand-driven selections in the library catalog. Electronic book titles appear in our catalog, but are not purchased until a reader views, copies, or downloads a certain amount of the book. Downloadable audiobooks are available in the library's catalog and the Media Resource Center experimented with providing feature film screening for several courses in the past year. Most of the library's existing and growing collection of ebooks are now able to be downloaded and read on most devices. Kindles continue to circulate and feature a variety of books, including the One Book, One Campus selection as well as other titles for various reading groups on campus.
Progress continued on several large-scale digital projects, including the Sutton Collection of International Military Tribunal for the Far East papers, the International Criminal Court's Legal Tools Database, and revisions to Richmond Daily Dispatch collection. An updated version of the Collegian archive was completed as well as the transcription of Dr. Frederic Boatwright's correspondence in the University Archives.
2011-2012 collection highlights of new online resources include: America's News, Biological Abstracts backfile, Business Insights: Global, Deal Pipeline, Encyclopædia of Islam, Freedonia Focus Industry Market Research Reports, Global Financial Data, GREENR, JSTOR A&S IX, X, & XI, Mental Measurements Yearbook with Tests in Print, New Pauly Online, Oxford Islamic Studies Online, Political Science Complete, PrivCo, PROMT, Research Starters – Sociology, RIPM , and Voter Turnout.
"Boatwright Library as Place" continues to fulfill a unique role on campus. Students visit Boatwright for quiet study, group projects, seeking research assistance, completing assignments and to work alongside classmates who are engaged in similar activities.
The library's ethnographic team collaborated with Dr. Jan French, Associate Professor of Anthropology, to design a field methods research study of student use in the library. Their findings, along with various library surveys, contributed to the 2012 summer renovation planning for the library. Users made 598,428 visits to Boatwright and Parsons Music Library in the past year, with an average daily attendance of 1,639. Hours were expanded on Basement Levels 1 and 2 during exam week, offering more space for students to prepare and study.
In addition to supporting the First Year Seminars, librarians offer personal research appointments to students, provide "personal librarian trading cards" to each freshman student in September, support upper-level courses, and offer a myriad of services and assistance through our service desks in Boatwright , Media Resource Center , Gottwald Science Center,and Parsons Music Library . Nearly 100 student assistants work alongside library staff members in offering services, particularly during late night evening hours and weekend hours.
The greatest strength of the Boatwright and Parsons Music Libraries is the dedicated and excellent staff. We are committed to supporting students, staff and faculty by providing high-quality resources and services that will enhance their experience at the University of Richmond. Kevin Butterfield was named the new University Librarian in April of 2012 and his leadership has been instrumental in planning and executing the summer library renovations. Other new staff include Birong Ho, Head of Systems; Lynda Kachurek, Head, Rare Books and Special Collections and Katherine Hoffman, Customer Service Associate. Staff members are keenly interested in continuing education and participated in over 50 conferences or workshops in the past year. The library places a great emphasis on staff development, both internally and externally. Library supervisors joined their colleagues in Information Services to complete the university's Supervisory Training Series. Many librarians and staff members offer their experience and knowledge beyond their roles in the library by teaching in First Year Seminars, School of Continuing Studies courses, serving on university committees and engaging in professional association activities.

In a broad appeal to U.S. voters, President Obama said Tuesday that he will open more than 75% of potential offshore oil and gas resources to exploration and, at the same time, produce enough clean energy on public land to power 3 million homes.
During his election-year State of the Union address, Obama said the nation is rapidly boosting its oil production but, with just 2% of the world's oil reserves, it needs to look at other energy sources. He said he will "take every possible action to safely develop" natural gas while requiring companies that drill on public lands to disclose the chemicals they use.
FOLLOW: Green House on Twitter
His comments on energy, a lengthy part of his speech, aimed to deflect criticism he received last week from many Republicans for rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have carried oil sands from Alberta, Canada to Gulf Coast refineries. He also defended his record on clean energy development, obliquely referring to the half-billion dollar federal loan guarantee to now bankrupt solar manufacturer Solyndra.
"Some technologies don't pan out; some companies fail," Obama told members of Congress in the U.S. Capitol. "But I will not walk away from the promise of clean energy.... I will not cede the wind or solar or battery industry to China or Germany because we refuse to make the same commitment here." He called on Congress to pass clean energy tax credits.
Environmentalists, who hailed Obama's rejection of the $7 billion Keystone project, welcomed some of his energy remarks.
"Home-grown sources of energy certainly are preferable to imports, especially from unstable regions of the world," said Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, in a statement. "But as the president noted, feeding our addiction to fossil fuels is not the long-term solution; we need to embrace renewable sources of energy with even greater fervor as well as energy efficiency."
Small independent oil and natural gas producers said they were pleased Obama touted domestic natural gas production but expressed skepticism about his pledge to reduce government regulations.
"Despite the president's promise of reducing regulations on American businesses, the reality is that his own administration's bureaucracies and broken policies are making energy development in the West increasingly difficult, time consuming, and cost prohibitive," Tim Wigley, president of Western Energy Alliance, said in a statement. "Killing the Keystone XL Pipeline is only the latest example of how job-creating energy initiatives have been stopped by this administration."
Here are Obama's comments on energy in his 2012 State of the Union speech:
Nowhere is the promise of innovation greater than in American-made energy. Over the last three years, we've opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration, and tonight, I'm directing my administration to open more than 75 percent of our potential offshore oil and gas resources. Right now, American oil production is the highest that it's been in eight years. That's right – eight years. Not only that – last year, we relied less on foreign oil than in any of the past sixteen years.
But with only 2 percent of the world's oil reserves, oil isn't enough. This country needs an all-out, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy – a strategy that's cleaner, cheaper, and full of new jobs.
We have a supply of natural gas that can last America nearly 100 years, and my administration will take every possible action to safely develop this energy. Experts believe this will support more than 600,000 jobs by the end of the decade. And I'm requiring all companies that drill for gas on public lands to disclose the chemicals they use. America will develop this resource without putting the health and safety of our citizens at risk.
The development of natural gas will create jobs and power trucks and factories that are cleaner and cheaper, proving that we don't have to choose between our environment and our economy. And by the way, it was public research dollars, over the course of thirty years, that helped develop the technologies to extract all this natural gas out of shale rock – reminding us that government support is critical in helping businesses get new energy ideas off the ground.
What's true for natural gas is true for clean energy. In three years, our partnership with the private sector has already positioned America to be the world's leading manufacturer of high-tech batteries. Because of federal investments, renewable energy use has nearly doubled. And thousands of Americans have jobs because of it.
When Bryan Ritterby was laid off from his job making furniture, he said he worried that at 55, no one would give him a second chance. But he found work at Energetx, a wind turbine manufacturer in Michigan. Before the recession, the factory only made luxury yachts. Today, it's hiring workers like Bryan, who said, "I'm proud to be working in the industry of the future."
Our experience with shale gas shows us that the payoffs on these public investments don't always come right away. Some technologies don't pan out; some companies fail. But I will not walk away from the promise of clean energy. I will not walk away from workers like Bryan. I will not cede the wind or solar or battery industry to China or Germany because we refuse to make the same commitment here. We have subsidized oil companies for a century. That's long enough. It's time to end the taxpayer giveaways to an industry that's rarely been more profitable, and double-down on a clean energy industry that's never been more promising. Pass clean energy tax credits and create these jobs.
We can also spur energy innovation with new incentives. The differences in this chamber may be too deep right now to pass a comprehensive plan to fight climate change. But there's no reason why Congress shouldn't at least set a clean energy standard that creates a market for innovation. So far, you haven't acted. Well tonight, I will. I'm directing my administration to allow the development of clean energy on enough public land to power 3 million homes. And I'm proud to announce that the Department of Defense, the world's largest consumer of energy, will make one of the largest commitments to clean energy in history – with the Navy purchasing enough capacity to power a quarter of a million homes a year.
Of course, the easiest way to save money is to waste less energy. So here's another proposal: Help manufacturers eliminate energy waste in their factories and give businesses incentives to upgrade their buildings. Their energy bills will be $100 billion lower over the next decade, and America will have less pollution, more manufacturing, and more jobs for construction workers who need them. Send me a bill that creates these jobs.

We've all heard the advice that it helps to give children advance warning about transitions in order to ward off frustration and confusion. Yet, to a child, a warning doesn't mean much when the concept of time itself is meaningless. What does "ten more minutes of playtime," or "five minutes until lights out" mean to someone who doesn't understand the meaning of time?
Against a backdrop of cheery landscapes and cozy rooms, the Kid-Do Activity Timeline is a clock that displays a block of time as horizontal bars of color. As the activity icons and colored bars move from right to left across the screen, children can see the passage of time, the line-up of their activities, and the amount of time remaining before the next activity—all of which ease them through transitions. Routines like bedtime and getting up and out the door to school become easier for everyone.
By illustrating the passage of time as a horizontal line (rather than as a circular clock), the Kid-Do Activity Timeline empowers children to visualize time in a way they can understand. As they see the icons move across the screen, they can easily estimate for themselves how much time remains before the next activity. A swipe across the "clock" shows them what's coming up, which can motivate them to power through unpleasant tasks to get to the "playtime," "snuggles" or "computer time" they really want.
About Routines and ActivitiesRoutines and activities are the building blocks of a child's day. With Kid-Do you create daily or weekly routines like "bedtime" or "getting ready for school," and break them up into shorter activities. A bedtime routine might include activities such as quiet playtime, snuggles, reading, and lights out. The Kid-Do timer shows you the exact time remaining in a whole routine as well as the number of minutes left in the activity going on at that moment. The Kid-Do Activity Timeline gives kids a visual representation of how much time they have left in a particular activity.
Create and Name New Routine
Click on "Create a routine" bar, type in the name of your routine, and hit "return" to enter it.
Click Create
Name Your Routine
Select Activities
Once you have created a routine, you need to add the activities that make it up. Think about what really happens during your child's various routines and what needs to happen. Tap "+ Add New Activity" for the "Select an Activity" screen. A list of routines will pop up, and you click on them to find activities. You can also pick activities from different routines on the list to add to the routine you have created.
*TIP: Take a moment to think about your routine. While you can change things later, it's easier to add all of your activities sequentially in the order they will be done. Then you can enter time.
There are over 50 activities to choose from! We tried to group them in a way that makes sense. But you can always use activities in one group for any routine. Whatever works for you.

Create Activities
You don't have to use the activities on the Kid-Do list. You can create your own. On the "Select an Activity" screen tap on the orange "+" square. You will go to "Create an Activity." Tap the "Activity Name" field and type in the name of your activity. Tap return, select an icon and tap "done." Your activity is now listed on the Kid-Do activity list under "Other Activities." To make it part of your routine, select it from the list.
Delete Routines and Activities
Creating and following routines and helping children manage time involves trial and error. To delete a routine or activity just swipe your finger across it from left to right.
Set Activity Duration and Launch Times
To set the length of time for each activity, click on the field under "duration," set the desired time, and press done. Do this for each activity, building a little extra time into the schedule to make sure it's achievable.
By changing the start time of the first activity and the end time of the last activity, you can increase or decrease the length of the timeline to meet your schedule. By moving one or the other, you can compress or lengthen the entire routine. The Kid-Do Activity Timeline automatically prorates the duration of each activity in the routine. You don't have to re-set the duration for every activity.
To set the launch time for the entire routineand in turn, for each activitygo to "Start" on the first activity in the routine. Set your desired launch time, and press done. You now have a complete routine set from start to finish. Makes sure to change the end time if you want to keep the whole routine the same length.
You may also find that you have left too little or too much time for a routine"Bedtime routine in one half hour, was I nuts?!" Go to the "End" on the last activity in the routine and change it as you deem necessary.
Set Run Days and Receive Notifications Before Routines Start
To select the days on which you'd like each routine to run, go back to the "Create a Routine" screen. Under "Existing Routines," find a list of all the routines you created. Tap the days of the week on which you want the routine to run and tap the space under "running" for each. A green check appears for those routines you are programming into the app.
In this new version of Kid-Do, you get a notification on your device 15 minutes before the set time of all "running" routines. Just as our kids become involved in their activities, so we get busy in ours; having that notification is key to keeping on track!
If you don't select a run time, you'll always be able to launch a routine by clicking on it and then hitting "Start."
Create a One Activity Quick Routine
Maybe you'd like your child to clean her room before she heads out for a spur-of-the moment playdate. Press on the "Quick Routine" bar, type in the name of your one activity routine (such as "Clean Up Bedroom), and set the duration and launch time, as you would for any activity. Press "start" and you're off!
Launch a New or Scheduled Routine
Routines that are running launch automatically at the start time for each day of the week you have set.
*TIP: You can use this feature to help motivate and discipline your child. Say your child is lingering on the computer, and the Kid-Do Activity Timeline for a bedtime routine has already started. You can show that time is "running ahead" without him. By seeing the color bar and icon for the first bedtime activity progressing across the screen, your child is motivated to "beat the clock" and get in sync with the timeline.
But you can also tap "start" at any time to launch a routine. And, what if you press start by mistake? All you have to do is click the red "X" square, and the routine will stop. Then you can go back to the "Create a Routine" page, select the routine when you're ready and re-launch.
See the Routine and Monitor Progress
The Kid-Do Activity Timeline tailors visuals so you and your child can see the routine and monitor progress. You check the timer as the minutes "Til End" of the routine count down, and, underneath, see how much time is left in the current activity. Children see the simple icons for each activity move from left to right in brightly colored rectangular blocks. The scenery changes as time moves on, and the plump Kid-Do Owl flies over the time line.
*TIP: By swiping across the bottom of the screen to see what activities are coming up, your child can ease the discomfort of making transitions, and what's great is she does that for herself.
Pause a Routine or Rearrange Activities
Family life is full of interruptionsboth welcome and unwelcome. Sometimes a neighbor might come over with an urgent need or Grandma calls to chat. You can tap the orange "pause" button, and press it again to resume.
Family life is all about making adjustments. To re-order activities, you can just delete activities and re-enter in the order you prefer.
Revel in Your and Your Child's Success
When a routine is finished, you and your child will see a message, "Your routine is now finished." Tap "OK," and let your child know how proud you are.

Iron Man 3 has continued its blitz on the global box office ahead of its US opening on Thursday, recording the seventh-highest opening weekend in history at the Australian box office with more than $14 million in takings, from Thursday to Sunday inclusive.
Click here to view our full movies coverage
The latest installment of the Marvel Studios franchise starring Robert Downey jnr took $14.09 million on 631 screens, for a huge per-screen average of $22,331. To put that in perspective, very few wide-release movies in recent months have managed to better $5000 per screen.
Iron Man 3 in fact opened last Wednesday, to take advantage of the Anzac Day holiday. It took an additional $3.41 million on that day, meaning its total in just five days is $17.5 million. However, the Wednesday takings are counted in the previous week's figures.
Though some fans and critics have attacked the film for playing for laughs – comic-book heroes are serious, don't you know? – the anticipation has driven it to a massive $US198 million take around the world in its first week. This was ahead even of the opening week for much-anticipated Marvel omnibus picture The Avengers, which last year had taken $185 million by the same stage. That figure will soar when US customers start buying tickets on Wednesday.
Indeed anticipation ahead of its US opening has reportedly driven a pirated copy of the movie – apparently shot on a camcorder in a preview screening – to third place on the week's (unofficial, naturally) illegal download charts.
The first two Iron Man films took a combined $1.2 billion at the cinema globally.
The record for an opening weekend for a movie in Australia belongs to the final installment of the Harry Potter series. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 opened $18.36 million in July 2011. The rest of the top 10 is rounded out by comic-book and fantasy sequels.
Meanwhile, The Croods continues to perform strongly, holding down second place on the weekend's chart with $1.49 million, to give it a very impressive $22.95 million haul after five weeks on Australian screens.
