The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR announced the consideration of the bill [H. R. 422] making appropriations for the years 1882 and 1883--the question being on a motion pending at the adjournment yesterday to strike out the clause creating a messenger for the Governor's office.
Mr. HEFRON favored supplying all public officers with pay suitable to their surroundings, but it seems this place is unnecessary and causes additional expense. The only assistance provided for Governor Williams by the last General Assembly was a private clerk, while this bill gives to that office not only a private Secretary, but a clerk and a messenger also. There is not so much difference as to create two new places as assistants to the Governor's private Secretary. One additional ought to be enough. He didn't think we should surround that office with outriders and footmen, the principal duties of the office being to sign Justice's commissions and make after-dinner speeches.
Mr. WILSON said this item was in the act of 1877, but under a different name. Under the name of janitor a man was provided to keep up fires, carry confidential messages, etc. The bill does not increase the number of employe in the Governor's office in this particular case of messenger or janitor.
Mr. FOSTER believing a mistake was made in reducing the Governor's salary, and believing it proper and right that official should have a messenger for his own use, opposed the motion to strike out.
Mr. MARVIN at first thought he would vote to strike this employe from the list, inasmuch as the last Governor got along with but one Private Secretary, but this is the appropriation bill framed by the majority of this Assembly, and it they want this extra office, he should vote to let it stand.
Mr. OWN said it was proposed in this bill to vote openly what pay each officer shall have, and not go around the stump in order to increase the pay of any one. He opposed the motion to strike out.
The motion was rejected--yeas, 10; nays, 27.
Mr. GRUBBS believed $1,200 not sufficient salary for the Adjutant General. The law provides no fees, so that this salary is substantially all the compensation for this office. There is no appropriation made for a deputy. The office is an important one. It has charge of all the records of Indiana during the War. Two years of hard work ought to be done in that office. Many rolls are almost beyond deciphering, and in a few years many of them will be utterly so. He moved to make the salary $1,500.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. BENZ moved to increase the salary of the Secretary of State's Clerk from $700 to $1,000. He said the Governor's Private Secretary got that salary, and the Secretary's Clerk ought to have the same.
Mr. OWEN saw no necessity for the increase.
The motion was rejected by yeas, 10; nays, 27.
The Committee report proposing to reduce the pay of Clerk of the Printing Bureau from $1,200 to $900 being read--
Mr. CHAPMAN opposed this reduction. A sufficient salary should be paid to keep a perfect expert in the art of printing and bookbinding in this place. If he has insufficient salary, there are page: 97[View Page 97] constant temptations to cause inattention to the duties of the position. This officer's duties are twice, if not ten-fold, more important than the duties of clerk to the Secretary of State.
Mr. OWEN said there was but $800 appropriated to this official two years ago.
Mr. HEFRON insisted the office of an appropriation bill is not to fix salaries, but as long as the fee and salary bill fixes a definite sum, this appropriation bill should name that definite sum--no more and no less.
Mr. WILSON remembered but once since the creation of this office has the salary exceeded $900. The late incumbent of the office told the Committee he had never detected errors that saved the State any money.
Mr. VAN VORHIS called attention to the fact that the act creating this office states expressly the salary shall not exceed $900.
Mr. GRUBBS regarded this office as an important one, and inasmuch as the act passed two years ago makes it his duty to index and superintend the printing of the Senate and House journals, moved to make the salary $1,200.
Mr. OWEN said the indexing of the Senate and House Journals was not done the last time satisfactorily, and as there is a bill now before the Senate making it the duty of the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House to perform that duty, the Committee thought $900 was sufficient.
Mr. CHAPMAN referred to the clerk of the Printing Bureau to index the Senate and House journals, and superintend the proof-reading and the printing of the same, under a law passed by the last General Assemby. This is the existing statute which prescribes a part of his duties; $1,200 is under the average of the salaries.
Mr. OWEN said it is a question whether this Assembly desire the Clerk of the Printing Bureau to index the journals, or whether the clerks of the two Houses shall perform that work. He thought the clerks were the proper persons to attend to that duty.
Mr. FOSTER asserted that the last journals are the most unsatisfactory books ever bound as far as the indexing is concerned. He thought the officers of the two Houses were the proper parties to make the indexes and superintend the printing of the journals.
Mr. LANGDON thought the salary of his clerk was fixed by the act of 1875, and if that officer is to do the indexing $1,200 is a small compensation. If the same person is to perform this work that did it last he should decidedly object. He favored giving $1,200 to this official aside from the indexing.
The $1,200 motion was agreed to by the casting vote of the Lieutenant Governor--yeas, 21; nays, 20.
The report of the Committee as amended--by inserting $1,200 instead of $900--was concurred in.
On motion by Mr. GRUBBS, the appropriation for the Auditor's clerk was increased from $700 to $1,000.
Mr. COMPTON moved to amend the Committee report by appropriating $3,000 salary for the State Treasurer instead of $10,000.
Mr. BELL--It is a solemn act that the State Treasurer shall not use a dollar of the public moneys. This law ought to be repealed, or we should proceed on the theory that this officer be paid as though he would not disobey the law.
Mr. FOSTER was surprised to see a bill brought in here to strike a blow at the only man in office in this State with a limb off, reducing the salary of that official from $3,000 to $1,000.
Mr. WILSON regarded this as only a question of right and propriety and of law--not as to whether the official is maimed or not. The present official is an honest man, and did not attempt to conceal anything from the Committee with regard to the fees of the office. He understood the minimum sum usually on hand was from $500,000 to $600,000, and was loaned out among the banks of the city at from 4 to 5 per cent., which is done under a decision of the Supreme Court that this officer is responsible on his bond for the money. Senators can determine for themselves what the emoluments of this office are--$2,000, and if it were the only compensation would be but a bagatelle for the responsibilities of this office.
The came a recess for dinner.

Jessica Fairley is a reporter with FOX 31 News
The Albany Police Department held a graduation ceremony Tuesday evening for the 27th Citizen's Academy.
The 10-person class included a city leader looking to understand the police force a little better and a recent high school graduate looking to jumpstart her career.
Although it wasn't required for his new job, Dougherty County Coroner Michael Fowler completed the course.
"I really wanted to see what the APD Citizen's Academy was all about and some of the duties of law enforcement and what they deal with on a day to day operation," said Michael Fowler.
By shadowing police officers and attending the classes, he discovered the daily challenges their job brings.
While fowler used the Citizen's Academy as a tool to understand the agency that he works with on the job, one of his classmates used the course as a means to possibly get a job.
"It's a start and being that it is with APD and I'm majoring in criminal justice, it's a lot of help," said Tanisha Green, Citizen's Academy graduate.
Tanisha Green, 19, graduated high school in May and as she attends Albany Tech, she'll use this experience to build her resume, in hopes of someday landing a job with APD.
"I may have to do patrolling a couple of years and then from there, I'll work my way up to a crime scene investigator," said Green.
The student says the course gave her a vision to strive for as she finishes her degree.

Why Files Aren't As Bad As You Think
Save Your Company Time by Using Online Data Entry Services
It is no secret that data entry can be very time consuming. Because of this, many companies choose to take advantage of online data entry completed by another company. This greatly simplifies a company's workload, freeing up time for other tasks. Tedious excel data entry, questionnaire data entry, and XML data entry, among other types, can easily be outsourced to avoid wasting your employee's time with these mindless tasks. While there are countless reasons why outsourcing is so valuable for a company, some of the best reasons are explored below.
Online data entry not only saves you time, but it also gives you access to individuals with a great deal of expertise on the topic. Data entry specialists, even from other countries, are fluent in English, allowing them to complete all of their tasks effectively. Because these specialists are also trained in different formats and softwares, you can essentially have them complete all of the work that you need. This means that you won't have to search for new specialists every time you need something completed, which will make it much easier to accomplish everything that you need to get done.
Another reason why hiring a company for online data entry is so beneficial is because you save resources that you can use elsewhere. When you choose to have this task completed in your office, you waste space, time, and money. Of course, you will also have to purchase any related software when it comes to managing data entry in-house, since you won't have an outsourced company that already has the software at your immediate disposal. Save yourself these expenses by hiring data entry services instead of organizing everything yourself, as you can save your company many different things by doing so.
There are several factors that you will want to take into consideration when it comes to data entry services, including scanning and indexing, to ensure that you choose the best company for your business. The best companies are those that offer accurate solutions,while handling your data in a way that is careful and that suits your expectations. Technical support is also something that should be considered, especially when a company is handling large amounts of crucial data. Because saving money is one of the most beneficial aspects of hiring a service for data entry, pricing should also be one of the main considerations you make.
By considering a company itself, as well as relevant factors related to the benefits of hiring an online data entry service, you too can experience the benefits of this amazing service. Established companies are almost always the better options.

The mercury porosimetry technique is one of the most useful methods to investigate the porous structure of solid samples in a quantitative way. It provides reliable information about pore size/volume distribution, particle size distribution, bulk (envelope) density and specific surface for most porous solids. The main highlights of the Pascal series porosimeters are exceptional speed of analysis and high resolution. The Pascal systems are widely used in both QC/QA labs as also in Research and Development sectors. The Pascal system, therefore, provides accurate results independently from the sample nature and/or the operator's experience. In addition, our dedicated software fully controls the instruments and easily generates reports in a variety of formats.
This Pascal 240 measures pores down to the lower mesopore region and operates in the classical range from atmospheric pressure up to 200 MPa. Developed to meet the sophisticated analytical requirements of laboratories working with modern materials.

Authoritarian legal scholar and former Attorney General of the United States, Alberto Gonzales, is speaking at UT Law in about 25 minutes. I just found out from a law student who will be in attendance. Not a single mention of this event anywhere I can find.
Clarence Thomas was there
Clarence Thomas was there last year.
Pure speculation on my part,
Pure speculation on my part, but one reason for not widely publicizing (or publicizing at all) the event could be what I encountered when I tried to see Justice Thomas last year: You couldn't get in. It was like standing in a subway car on New Year's Eve. It may be the law school invited Gonzales for the benefit of law students and faculty only, many of whom will be required to attend his lecture, in all likelihood, and outsiders just ain't welcome.
Apparently there was a press
Apparently there was a press release last week:
It says the talk is open to the public.
It also says he's at Belmont now. Sounds about right.
It was promoted at the law
It was promoted at the law school.
who would want to hear him
who would want to hear him speak anyway?
check this out.
Alberto Gonzales, the 80th U.S. attorney general and one of the worst, wants you to know that he is "disappointed" in his conduct surrounding the U.S. attorney scandal, the Bush-era politicization of the Justice Department. Actually, he doesn't necessarily want you to know. Otherwise he long ago would have told you and the rest of the world. Instead, he simply said as much during a deposition in an ongoing Privacy Act case brought (years ago) against government officials.
I want to see him in prison,
I want to see him in prison, with Rumsfeld, Cheney and the rest for war crimes!

DC suspect's sister: She said she felt fine

The tornado that swept through Elmira on Thursday left a lot of debris and fallen trees that crews and neighbors are still trying to clean up. Many areas are still without power. Our Elyse Mickalonis spoke with county officials who say the storm may be over, but it's still a good idea to stay inside.
ELMIRA, N.Y. -- There's still a lot of work to be done before Elmira gets back to normal. Crews have been working day-in and day-out to clear streets and lawns of debris left over from Thursday's tornado.
"I feel bad for them because they look so tired," said Carol Martin, an Elmira resident.
Neighbors did what they could to help out as well.
"Everybody's chipping in together like one big family. It feels good," said Daniel McGowan, another Elmira resident.
Officials say lots of people are still without power and that NYSEG is doing what it can to restore service as soon as possible. For many residents, the lack of power means a lot of worrying.
"Where I live on the other side, there's people on oxygen machines that need that electricity. People lost all their food and everyone's going through a rough time," said McGowan.
Officials say 16 residential properties are severely damaged and most likely uninhabitable. Over 200 homes that sustained moderate damage, but are livable and several hundred that sustained minor damage. The Red Cross is still sheltering people at the Elmira Free Academy. They're reaching out to the public for donations and volunteers. Officials say even though the storm is over, there are still a lot of dangerous things you can encounter on streets. They say if you don't have to be outside, stay inside.
"One of the biggest issues is there's a lot of electricity still out. We have 14 black traffic signals. A black traffic signal in New York State is a four-way stop. People need to know they need to stop at a black traffic signal," said Andrew Avery, Chemung County and Elmira Public Works Commissioner.
Michael Smith, Chemung County Emergency Management Director, added, "We still encouraging people to be very careful if they're out walking. There's a great deal of debris, sidewalks that are damaged from uprooted trees, people need to be very mindful of that. In addition, as the electric crews are working they need to work without people in their way."
To safely get the area back on track.

This handset might just be the greatest product ever... 1) Consistent use allows you to lower your exposure to harmful cell phone radiation. Boom. 2) If you're like most women, your purse is full of crap. By the time you've located your ringing phone at the bottom of your purse, you've missed the call. That's no longer the case with this handset- it's big, bright, beautiful and easy to pick up and answer. The pick up/hang up button (works with iphones and HTC phones, in my experience) is perfect, and the volume buttons are great (works only on iphones, I believe). 3) Remember the days when you could hold your land line phone between your shoulder and ear, thus freeing your two hands to do whatever kind of multitasking they need to do? You can have those days back with this amazing product. 4) Get ready for all the confused and amused looks you'll get when you pull it out of your purse to answer a call when you're out on the town. Hilarious. 5) Excellent sound quality. Better than using my phone alone, actually, because it doesn't get hot and make my ear sweaty (which leads to a crusty, wet phone after any 20+ minute conversation). 6) Overstock has the best price. I've seen this product sold on the street in NYC and at popular retailers for up to 5x the Overstock price. Plus Overstock sells it in a rainbow of colors.
I am so completely happy and satisfied with my purchase of this phone. It was WELL worth the cost. I use my handset ALL the time! I loved it so much, I actually bought one for my best friend! It's so much easier to use than holding my iPhone all the time! Thank you for a WONDERFUL product! I LOVE IT!
This handset is fun. Gets lots of comments and laughs when use it in a public place. Also works well and easy to hear and be heard. Colors are great too. However it is big and bulky and not really suitable to carry around in purse or pocket. So use it for a few days to get a reaction and then keep it at home for long talks!
I love using this phone instead of talking on the flat surface of the iPhone. Whenever I have to make a few calls or receive a call from someone I know will talk a long time, I plug in my purple phone receiver and use that. if you were ever employed using a traditional receiver all day, you will love this receiver. The sound quality is good, the color is bright (so I can find it easily) and it's obviously better for your brain cells because it reduces the radiation exposure.
Now I can talk on the "phone" again. Feels like a regular phone and the sound is better through this handset than through my iPhone's headset. Friends saw it and went on-line to order. Got my order in 3 days! Also...if you install free talkatone app on your ipod touch you can make FREE outgoing calls! Get 'em while you can still get 'em. I got black...it's so traditional looking.
It's truly a piece of junk! It's the first thing I have ever returned to overstock! Do not waste your time and money!
Convenient and comfortable...lets you talk on your cell phone without having to have it close to your ear.
Pretty neat product. I got the purple one, and to be quite honest I only bought it to be lazy while at home and my phone is charging. lol Perfectly great to lay in the bed/couch comfortably without having to lay in a weird way just so you can talk on the phone while its charging...not sure you're supposed to do that anyway...but I've always done it (over 15 years) and never had a problem with my phones. I have an iPhone 5s.
I love my pink handset. The clarity of the handset is amazing.
Loved the phone, but after 3 weeks the cord connect to the phone came away.

Package Parser
I would like to see it as well. Have trouble with the modsite package parser keeping formatting so been using Daniels but's some packages break with it.
i would be very interested in a downloadable version too.
Alright 4 people is enough for me to let you guys grab the source for my package parser, so here's the link to the file.
Download Link
And just a few notes...
- SMF 2.x is needed for the parser as $smcFunc functions are used.
- Line 12 MUST point to SSI.php, wherever your package parser ends up.
- The first argument of the str_replace() function in $context['self'] should match the directory name of your forum. For example, if your forum lies in the folder called "forum" that is located in the root, the argument would be "/forum/index.php". Otherwise if your forum is in the root directory of your site, all you need is is "/index.php".
- All English text is hard-coded into the parser, so that means no language files or etc is included.
- SMF Version drop-down box is also hard-coded into the parser starting from line 46.
- Parser supports boardmod (.mod) mods, which explains the length of the file. I spent hours just working on the mod -> xml conversion and played around with a lot of regex syntax.
- Please, please, please leave my name and Daniel15's name at the bottom of the footer. I worked really hard on this parser and I really would appreciate to be credited for the work I put into it. Do not brand it as your own.
- You may link back to your site/forum in the footer section BELOW where it says "This package parser coded by..."
- Questions? You may email me, PM me, post here, whatever method is preferred.
- Enjoy :)
thanks for the download link, worked like a charm :)
so if i understand your instructions right, i need a running version of smf for this to work? (because the SSI.php?)
do i need a specific version for the parser or will any 1.1.14 or 2.0 install work?
Oh the package parser uses several $smcFunc functions, so any SMF 2.0 version should work with the parser (the SMF 2.0 version that first started using $smcFunc)

I have not heard of every Christmas song. As as boy looking for a cause to fight...a purpose yet
not wanting power the song I choose is Bob Seger' Little Drummer Boy. That song has made me cry. Amen.
How about the Transiberian Orchestra version of Pachelbel's Canon in D? www.youtube.com
Perfect! My favorite. Thanks for the link.
For me it has been "Merry Christmas Darling" by Karen Carpenter for many, many year. I used to be in love with her!
One favorite, a new song that is #1 requested song on our local all Christmas music radio station , "The Gift" by Aselin Debison (sorry but I don't know how to put youtube link on) another requested song " I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" Gayla Peevey
So many, but among others, "Some Children See Him", White Christmas, music from The Nutcracker, O Holy Night.
The Christmas Blessing - heard it on the radio this morning & I felt blessed hearing it on my way to Mass

Governors State Home >> Student Affairs >> Student Concerns Program
Governors State University strives to support students in all aspects of achieving their academic and personal goals. Accordingly, the Student Concerns Program was developed by the office of the Dean of Students to provide a centralized method that focuses on identifying and working with students who may be distressed or whose behavior is of concern. The Student Concerns Program is designed to ensure timely outreach to students that are believed to be in distress or acting in a manner of concern, and connect them to resources best suited to address the conveyed concern. Since faculty and staff play a key role in identifying students who are in distress, the Student Concerns Program depends on referrals that identify students who might benefit from proactive outreach and assistance.
Faculty and staff are encouraged to report behaviors or concerns of any GSU student by using the Student Concerns Program online form to identify students and describe their area of concern(s). Student concerns can include, but are not limited to academic, physical or emotional concerns such as:
A more detailed list of concerns can be found below.
Completed "Student Concern" forms will be directed to the office of the Dean of Students which will identify resources and personnel best suited to address the concern articulated by faculty and staff. Reports will be tracked for themes, repetition, and increased concern(s) to evaluate student and university trends.
Important Note: Submissions to Student Concerns Program differ from those intended to the Campus Threat Assessment Team (CTAT) because they are early alerts of student concern intended to direct intervention to students in distress, not behavior significant enough to be a threat to the safety and well-being. If a submission is deemed a threat to the campus community, the report will be immediately forwarded to CTAT.Click here to download the Student Concerns Program brochure (This document opens in another window as a PDF)
Please complete a student concerns report. In addition to the web resource, faculty and staff can contact the following offices directly for referrals.
For emergencies, immediately contact: Department of Public Safety Campus Location: C1375 Office: (708) 534-4900 Available 24 hours a day
For emotional concerns, please contact: Counseling Center Campus Location: B1205 Phone: (708) 235-7334 Open M-F: 9am-5pm
For general student concerns, please contact: Office of the Dean of Students Campus Location: A 2130 Phone: (708) 235-7595 Open M-F: 9am-5pm
Some potential signs of distress/concern included, but are not limited to:
Potential Academic Concerns
Potential Physical Concerns
Emotional Concerns
Decline in quality/quantity of work.
A damaging performance in class to cause drop in grade.
Repeated Missed assignments or exams.
Repeated absences from class.

The Quest for Emotional Engagement: Information Visualization | Johnny Holland
Today on Radio Johnny Jeff Parks talks with Stephen Anderson, about his workshop at the 10th anniversary of UX Week hosted by Adaptive Path. Stephen shares how design patterns such as spreadsheets, lists, dashboards and grid views suffice for getting data onto a screen. However, when it comes to making sense of this data, these same patterns hold us back from designing great experiences! Generic patterns are poor substitutes for a good custom visualization, especially one designed for the content being displayed.

Make It So: Interaction Design Lessons from Science Fiction with Nathan Shedroff & Chris Noessel » UIE Brain Sparks
Science fiction films often take liberties with the technology that they display. After all, it is fiction. Though they can make up essentially whatever they want, technologies still need to be somewhat realistic to the audience. This influences the way that sci-fi technology is presented in film, but in turn, it's how sci-fi influences technological advances in the real world.
Nathan Shedroff, Chair of the MBA in Design Strategy Program at California College of the Arts, and Chris Noessel, Managing Director at Cooper, took it upon themselves to study the lessons that can be learned from science fiction. They analyzed a variety of interfaces from all different time periods of film and television. They discovered that when new technologies are developed and released to the market, people already have expectations of how it should work. This is based upon having already seen a similar, fictional technology.
Of course, there are instances where the technology in film is all but an impossibility, or at least impractical in real life. This changes as gestural and voice recognition technologies become more advanced, but a lot of interfaces in sci-fi are developed simply for the "cool" factor. Even then, looking to these interfaces as a reference point can help focus a design.
Nathan and Chris join Jared Spool to discuss their Rosenfeld Media book, Make It So: Interaction Design Lessons from Science Fiction in this podcast.
The Best Interface is No Interface
Fresh Squeezed Mobile is Breaking Development's channel to get fresh ideas out there about mobile web development and design.
This week, Jeff talks to Golden Krishna about his belief that the best interface is no interface. We talk about the necessity of UI's and how modern technologies allow us to design interfaces that aren't interfaces at all.
Ambient Location and the Future of the Interface
UX designer Amber Case will share insights from her research in cyborg anthropology and talk about what really makes us human.
Amber Case is a Cyborg Anthropologist currently working at Vertigo Software. She founded CyborgCamp, a conference on the future of humans and computers. Her main focus is on mobile software, augmented reality and data visualization, as these reduce the amount of time and space it takes for people to connect with information. Case founded Geoloqi.com, a private location sharing application, out of a frustration with existing social protocols around text messaging and wayfinding. She formerly worked at global advertising agency. In 2010, she was named by Fast Company Magazine as one of the Most Influential Women in Tech.
Teaching Touch: Tapworthy Touchscreen Design
Discover the rules of thumb for finger-friendly design. Touch gestures are sweeping away buttons, menus and windows from mobile devices—and even from the next version of Windows. Find out why those familiar desktop widgets are weak replacements for manipulating content directly, and learn to craft touchscreen interfaces that effortlessly teach users new gesture vocabularies.
The challenge: gestures are invisible, without the visual cues offered by buttons and menus. As your touchscreen app sheds buttons, how do people figure out how to use the damn thing? Learn to lead your audience by the hand (and fingers) with practical techniques that make invisible gestures obvious. Designer Josh Clark (author of O'Reilly books "Tapworthy" and "Best iPhone Apps") mines a variety of surprising sources for interface inspiration and design patterns. Along the way, discover the subtle power of animation, why you should be playing lots more video games, and why a toddler is your best beta tester.
Josh Clark, Principal, Global Moxie
I'm a designer specializing in mobile design strategy and user experience. I'm author of the O'Reilly books "Tapworthy: Designing Great iPhone Apps" and "Best iPhone Apps." My outfit Global Moxie offers consulting services and training to help media companies, design agencies, and creative organizations build tapworthy mobile apps and effective websites.
Before the interwebs swallowed me up, I worked on a slew of national PBS programs at Boston's WGBH. I shared my three words of Russian with Mikhail Gorbachev, strolled the ranch with Nancy Reagan, hobnobbed with Rockefellers, and wrote trivia questions for a primetime game show. In 1996, I created the uberpopular "Couch-to-5K" (C25K) running program, which has helped millions of skeptical would-be exercisers take up jogging. (My motto for fitness is the same for user experience: no pain, no pain.)

Designing the Wider Web
The dominance of the desktop browser is over – the web has become wider. After so long painting in a tiny corner of the canvas, it's time to broaden our approach.
It's understandable that the community is somewhat nervous about the changes ahead. So far, we've mostly responded by scratching around for device-specific tips, but this isn't sustainable or scalable. We should transcend "platformism" and instead learn to design for diverse contexts, displays, connectivity, and inputs by breaking devices down into first principles. Instead of the defective dichotomy of the "desktop" and "mobile" web, designers should aim to create great user experiences using the truly fluid nature of the web.
Christian Crumlish: Designing Social Interfaces: 5 Principles, 5 Practices, 5 Anti-Patterns
As we use social tools on the web, design patterns are emerging. Social design must be organic, not static, emotional, not data-driven. A social experience builds on relationships, not transactions.
In 2008, Yahoo!'s Christian Crumlish introduced the idea of social design patterns to BayCHI. He returns in 2010 to share what he learned over two years. With his Yahoo! colleague Erin Malone, Christian created a wiki to gather social design patterns and published a snapshot of the wiki in book form.
Among the many principles of social design, Christian presents five:
- Pave the Cowpaths: Watch what people do, then support and adapt to that behavior.
- Talk Like a Person: Use a conversational voice. Be self-deprecating when an error occurs. Ask questions.
- Be Open: Embrace open standards. Support two-way exchange of data with other applications.
- Learn from Games: Give your application fun elements, like collecting and customization.
- Respect the Ethical Dimension: Understand the expectations people have in social situations and abide by them.
Christian then describes five practices:
- Give people a way to be identified and to characterize themselves.
- Create social objects that give people context for interaction.
- Give people something to do, and understand the continuum of participation, from lurkers to creators to leaders.
- Enable a bridge to real life.
- Let the community elevate people and the content they value.
Finally, he discusses five anti-patterns, commonly-used design choices that appear to solve a problem but that can backfire and pollute of the commons. Examples:
- The Cargo Cult: Copying successful designs without understanding why they are successful.
- Breaking Email: Sending an email alert, but rejecting or silently discarding the reply.
- The Password Anti-Pattern: Asking people for their password to another service encourages poor on-line hygiene.
- The Ex-Boyfriend Bug: Connecting people who share a social circle but who have reasons to avoid each other.
- The Potemkin Village: Building groups with no members. Instead, let people gather naturally.
Christian stresses that social design is an ecosystem in which designers must balance many trade-offs. Not every design pattern applies to every application, but good designers can use patterns to strike a balance that works.

Young and Restless Recaps
Y&R Week of January 19, 2009
A dreamy-eyed Esther floated downstairs to the Chancellor living room. Jill wondered why Esther was "glowing." Soon, Roger joined Esther downstairs and Jill quickly realized that that was why! She was surprised to learn that Roger was the accountant whom Cane had hired for Chancellor Industries. After he left, Jill reminded Esther about Esther's previous poor choices in men. Meanwhile, Roger met up with Clint to discuss their plan to turn "Marge" into Katherine once again. Later, Roger invited Esther out to lunch for a particular cuisine. When he came to pick her up, a suspicious Jill caught him sniffing around the expensive items in the home — and fired him. Esther was appalled, but assured Roger that it's okay because she's "loaded." Uh-oh.
At the jail, Adam left several frantic messages for Victor, informing his dad that he was about to be transferred to the state prison, along with the murderers and other dangerous types. He begged Victor to get him out of this. Meanwhile, Victor and Ashley dined at the GCAC. When Vic got a call from Adam, Ashley encouraged him to be there for his son. After, Victor went to see Adam, who again begged his father to help him get out of jail. Instead, Victor watched as Adam was dragged off, screaming, in handcuffs. Victor admitted to Ashley later that it was tough seeing his son taken away like that, but he felt Adam got what he deserved.... Jack told Ashley that he and Sharon were getting a divorce. He then suggested that he take over Jabot since Ash is living with Victor. Ashley was livid and reminded Jack that he didn't exactly have a great reputation — and assured him that she could separate business from her personal life..... At Crimson Lights, Brad was angry when Abby told him that she's now calling both him and Victor "Dad." He confronted Ashley about it, but she reminded him that Victor is Abby's father, too. Brad disagreed and called Newman a "sperm donor."... Victor got a drink as he thought about the day Adam was born. Who should join him at the bar, but Jack? "You'd better start looking over your shoulder," Victor warned. Later, a drunken Jack poured out his life's woes to an attractive female at the bar.
Neil, Karen and Tyra hung out with Ana at Indigo, where they chatted about Martin Luther King and the fact that Obama is being sworn in as President. After, Karen met up with Rafe and asked how they could make Ana a permanent part of their family. Rafe thought this was a good idea, noting that if she and Neil adopted her, it would prevent Yolanda from being able to take her away. Later, Neil and Tyra discussed the Yolanda situation and Neil and Karen's idea to adopt Ana. Tyra freaked out until Neil reminded her that they were trying to help her out with Ana. A grateful Tyra then kissed Neil right on the lips! He didn't exactly give in to it, but he didn't exactly pull away, either. Tyra felt very embarrassed and decided that she needed to just leave town. She ran out of the club with Neil pleading with her to return so they could talk about it.
Amber and Daniel went back to the diner to see Kay. Amber covered for her friend and went along with Kay's "Marge" ruse. After, they joined Kay and Murphy in one of the booths and Amber quizzed Kay about events in her life. Kay couldn't recall anything, including what she was wearing when Murphy found her. However, when she saw the ring that she had on in the photo of the memoir, she recalled that she'd had that very ring on — but had pawned it. Daniel and Amber believed that if she found the ring, it could help her prove her identity.
All soaps are preempted today, January 20, for coverage of the Presidential Inauguration. Recaps will resume tomorrow.
At the diner, Katherine planned to get back her ring so she could prove her identity. Amber offered to do it for her and Kay gave her the address. After, Amber and Daniel went to the pawn shop and showed the owner the ring Kay was wearing on the memoir cover. He said he'd never seen the woman before, but Amber accused him of lying because he didn't pay Kay what the ring was worth. The owner kicked him out, but Amber was determined to get her hands on it. Meanwhile, the owner called a contact and asked the person if he'd gotten rid of the ring.
At Restless Style, Nikki sensed the tension between Nick and Phyllis. She asked Nick if everything was okay. "We're gonna have to get back to you on that," he replied. After, Phyllis and Nick were cold toward each other as they discussed a photo shoot.
At Crimson Lights, Lily and Colleen discussed attending the "Men we Love" party. Lily confessed that she still has reservations about Billy being a player and noted that he and Chloe seem to have chemistry. Meanwhile, Billy told Chloe that Lily had been asking him if he and Chloe had a past. Chloe assured Billy that they had nothing to tie them to each other and he could "waste" his life on Lily, if he wanted. After, Billy invited Lily to join him for a party in Chicago. Lily reminded him that she wanted to take things slow.
At the GCAC bar, Sharon was appalled to catch Jack flirting with Crystal, a hooker. Jack explained that he'd hired the woman to keep the forger busy while Adam went through Frank's place searching for evidence against them. Sharon didn't know what to believe and was sick of hearing his lies. Jack apologized for hurting Sharon and said he wanted her in his life. "Too damn bad," she snapped and stormed off.
At the coffeehouse, a melancholy Brad thought about Sharon being angry with him about teaming up with Phyllis. Colleen joined her father at his table so they could catch up for a moment. He invited her to join him at Indigo. After, Brad tried to apologize to her, but she asked him to give her her space.
At Indigo, J.T., Victoria, Lily, Cane, Billy, Chloe, Nikki, Phyllis, Paul and Jack were all at the Restless Style party. Jack flirted with actress Shiva Rose, who it turned out, knew both Billy and Chloe from New York.... Lily asked Cane if he suspected that Billy and Chloe knew each other from before. He angrily replied that Billy just likes to flirt and probably wanted to steal Chloe from him.... Things continued to be strained between Nick and Phyllis. They put on a happy front as they chatted with a client, but then fought over the way Nick was handling the advertisers.... Victoria admired the "Men We Love" picture of J.T., which was a shirtless photo of him cradling their son. J.T. blushed upon seeing himself.... Lily was curious when Billy and Chloe perked up at hearing that Shiva was there. Shiva came over to say warm hellos to both of them. Billy and Chloe introduced Lily and Cane. After, Lily asked if Chloe and Shiva worked together. Chloe babbled about how Shiva has a shaky memory of things. Chloe prevented Shiva from chatting to Cane, then informed her friend that Cane doesn't know about her history with Billy. Shiva promised to keep quiet.... Nick admitted to Victoria that things were pretty bad between him and Phyllis. Vicky noted that he knew what Phyllis was like when he married her. Nick stated that he loves his wife; Victoria urged her to find Phyllis and make things right.... Lily asked Shiva how she knew Billy, but Billy dragged her away before Shiva had a chance to explain. Billy implored Shiva not to say anything to Lily about him once being with Chloe. Shiva couldn't quite understand why he and Chloe were making such a big deal when they both had new people in their lives. Later, Billy lifted Lily up and joked about how he was sweeping her off her feet.
Amber, Daniel, Jana and Kevin went to the party and teased Daniel about his photo spread. Amber took Kevin aside and told him that she knows he paid Kay's bail. She apologized for calling him a killer. She asked for his help, but he wanted to hear her beg.... Daniel was confident that Amber could make everyone believe that Kay is well, Kay.... Paul questioned Kevin about Kay. Kevin was positive that the woman is indeed Katherine. After, Paul lied to Nikki when she asked what he'd been discussing with Kevin. When she stepped away, he called Michael and said he was going to go back on the Katherine/Marge case.... In Murphy's trailer, he again called Kay "Marge," then apologized for the slip-up. He promised to help her prove she's Katherine. Kay noted that being Marge wasn't so bad. "I like coming home now... to you," Murphy smiled, leaning in close. Outside Clint lurked.
Sharon went to the magazine to pick up a book for Noah. Phyllis stopped by and was annoyed to see Sharon there. "Keep your lips away from my husband's face," Phyllis snarled. "Nick is all yours," Sharon told her. Phyllis warned that she'd do anything to protect her marriage. "How can you be in love with Nick and have no idea what really matters to him?" Sharon replied. "I'm just really tired of your games, Phyllis." Phyllis was appalled that Sharon was lecturing her about Nick. The ladies then argued over Nick returning to Newman Enterprises, with Phyllis believing he should devote his time to Restless Style and Sharon believing that Nick's thrilled to be working with Victor again. Sharon again insisted that she's not a threat to their marriage, but the more she protested, the more upset Phyllis became. Later, when Phyllis returned to the party, Nick publicly complimented Phyllis for making the magazine look so good.... Sharon went to the party at Indigo and asked Jack if she could go to the Abbott cabin to think. He agreed to let her stay there.... Phyllis and Nick returned to Restless Style after the party. There, they began to kiss passionately.
At Newman Enterprises, J.T. tried to help Brad log onto the company's board member Web site. Victor informed Brad that he'd blocked Brad's access and wanted him out of the company. Brad wasn't planning to leave so easily. After, Victoria blamed herself for bringing Brad into the business.
Nikki was thrilled that the "Men We Love" issue of Restless Style was the highest-selling issue to date. She informed Paul that the next issue was going to be a tribute to Katherine. After, Paul asked Kevin and Daniel at Crimson Lights if they had more information on the woman claiming to be Kay.
He explained that he wanted to get to the truth. They told him that Kay has been staying with a man named Murphy. Paul didn't want Nikki to catch on to the fact that he was investigating the Kay case, so he pretended to be discussing something else.... Amber stopped by Murphy's trailer to see Kay. She was surprised that Kay would stay in such quarters, but Kay said that she loved it there. Kay again lamented not being able to recall her life; Amber urged her to see a doctor. Kay replied that she did and the doctor just found a bump on her head. Murphy clarified that the doctor told her to see a specialist. Kay admitted that she was frightened about seeing one. Murphy went and made an appointment for her, but Kay still refused to do it. Amber promised to be there for her if she got bad news from the doctor. "You're such a good girl," said a touched Kay. "You really don't remember," cracked Amber. As Kay went to get ready, Amber called Daniel and filled him in on what was going on with Kay. Daniel, in turn, gave the news to Kevin about Kay seeing a doctor. Daniel asked if Kevin would help them with the Kay situation, but Kevin was still insulted about Amber thinking he was a murderer. Daniel urged him to put his feelings aside, for Kay's sake.
Brad enjoyed a father/daughter lunch with Abby and Colleen. He suggested that the three of them go on a vacation. When Abby started going on about the horse Victor bought her, Brad reminded her that he'll give Abby anything she needs.... Victor surprised Ashley when he arrived for Abby's parent-teacher conference.... Brad was taken aback when Abby told him about the conference and prepared to attend... At the school, Abby's principal was surprised when Victor introduced himself as Abby's father.
At the GCAC, Colleen and Abby admired photos of J.T. from the "Men We Love" issue. Abby declared J.T. hot and thought it was "tragic" that things hadn't worked out with him and Colleen. Just then, J.T. and Victoria entered the restaurant. Colleen jokingly asked him for his autograph and warned him that Abby has a crush on him.... Nikki arrived and gushed about the issue. Victoria was happy to see her mom smiling. They then agreed that they were bothered by Victor's "insta-family" with Ashley and Abby. Nikki didn't think he and Ashley would last.
Ashley and Victor got down to business, discussing Abby's academic record with the principal. Brad soon arrived and insisted on joining them. After they finished the meeting, Brad told off Victor right in the principal's office. Ash pleaded with Victor to understand that Brad is also Abby's
father. Later, Brad returned to his daughters at the GCAC. Brad wanted them both to move back home, but neither was thrilled with the idea. Abby said that she loved the Newman ranch, while Colleen liked having her freedom. When Ash came to pick up Abby, she told Brad that she's not going to stand by and watch him and Victor fight over her daughter. After, Brad made a call, explaining that he wanted to file for full custody of Abby.... Victor requested that J.T. find something about Brad that would be grounds for his dismissal. Privately, J.T. reminded Victoria that Brad stole Newman trade secrets for Jabot, but she noted that they'd signed a contract saying they wouldn't use that evidence against him.
Murphy and Amber helped Kay get ready for the doctor's appointment. Meanwhile, Paul lurked outside the trailer and peered in, watching them. He flashed back to how upset Nikki had been when he'd brought up the idea of investigating Kay to see if she really was an imposter. Paul ignored his reservations and knocked on Murphy's door, explaining he was from the census bureau. Murphy explained that it was his home but he'd had a friend living them since November. Paul had him sign some forms then said he'd like to interview Murphy's friend when he returned.... Meanwhile, the doctor questioned "Marge" about her condition. She admitted that she's been forgetting names and faces. The doctor was concerned and wanted to run some tests on her — but Kay realized she didn't have insurance. Amber offered to cover the costs. She wanted to return all of the money Kay had left her, but Kay told her to keep it for now. Later, the doctor explained that he was checking for several things that would affect her memory — including signs of Alzheimer's Disease. Amber tried to be optimistic and not worry about that yet.... Paul joined Nikki at the GCAC and told her about his visit to Murphy. Paul believed that Murphy was a stand-up guy, but Nikki disagreed. Paul then said that he wants to talk to the woman saying she's Kay — and wanted Nikki to come with him. Nikki absolutely refused to believe that Kay was alive. "Don't you want to find out for sure?" he asked. Nikki reluctantly agreed to do it for Paul.
Jack paid Gloria a visit in jail and presented her with a civil suit for tainting the moisturizer. Jack told her that the suit would "go away" if she gave him her Jabot stock. Gloria refused. Later, Glo watched a news report where Andrew Gibson proposed that she get the death penalty for allegedly killing his wife with the face cream. Later, Jill asked Gloria for the stock, but again, Gloria said no. Jeffrey then showed up for — you guessed it — the stock. Jill doubted that he could talk Gloria into a sale, but he was confident. Gloria told Jeff that she didn't trust him. Later, Gloria sat and pondered who she should sell the stock to.
With Murphy's encouragement, Katherine vowed to reclaim her old life back.
Kevin, Jana, Amber and Daniel plotted to break into the pawn shop so they could get Kay's ring back. They discussed various methods, including using glass cutters and pick locks. After, Amber questioned Jill about "Marge." Jill was certain that it was Marge who was now pretending to be Kay. Amber thought Jill was wrong. Later, the four donned black outfits and planned to execute their break-in. Kevin cut the alarm system to the shop and Amber was prepared to crawl through a window. Suddenly, the gang heard a dog growl.
Nikki ran into Victor and expressed sympathies to him for having to watch Adam being taken to jail. However, Victor was cold toward her. "You are no longer the center of my universe," Nikki assured her ex. Still, Nikki warned him that he and Ashley were rushing into things by becoming a family so quickly.
Heather and Paul met up and discussed the Kay case and Adam. Paul was surprised when Heather suddenly thanked him for always looking out for her.... After her doctor's visit, Murphy took care of Katherine. He told her about the "census worker" (who was really Paul) stopping by. Later, Paul and Nikki stopped by and Paul explained who he really is. Kay told them that she keeps having memory flashes, but nothing is making sense to her yet. "I know that I am Katherine Chancellor," she stated. "I feel that I know you, too," she told Nikki. "Would you please help me?" Nikki still didn't want to believe that she was Kay. Kay then told her that when Murphy found her she was wearing Kay's ring — and had pawned it. Nikki thought that the only reason the woman knew anything about Katherine was because she'd read Kay's memoir. After, Nikki explained to Paul that she's so against believing the woman is Kay because after everything she went through with David, she vowed to never be conned again. Paul, on the other hand, did think that Kay is who she said she is.
Heather stopped by Victor's office at Newman Enterprises and told him that the Mexican authorities have stopped investigating Walter's death. However, Heather still believed that he was guilty.
At Restless Style, Nick was impressed with the latest sales figures, all due to Phyllis's efforts. Nick then expressed concern when he couldn't get in touch with Sharon at the Abbott cabin. The topic made Phyllis uncomfortable. Meanwhile, at the cabin, Sharon flashed back to moments in her relationships with Jack, Nick and Brad. Phyllis called Brad and told him to meet her at a particular bar. Phyllis informed Brad that Sharon was alone at the cabin. Unbeknownst to her, Brad rigged his cell phone so Nick could listen in.... Noah was concerned about his mother's sudden departure. Nick told Noah that Sharon's sabbatical had nothing to do with the boy. Later, Noah and Jack met up at Crimson Lights. Jack promised Noah that even though he and Sharon were splitting up, he'd always love Noah like a son. Jack was then served with divorce papers.... Phyllis was shocked when Nick met her at the bar.
Gloria was shocked when Victor came to see her at the prison. "Hello, Gloria," he stated. "I have an offer... that you can't refuse."

Hofstra hosts effort to boost local Latino media; reporter Juan Gonzalez is keynote speaker
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY …Continuing the successful collaboration that began last year between local print and web journalists, community members and the School of Communication faculty, Hofstra University will host the second annual Latino Media Conference on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011 to further explore the challenges faced by local media as they serve a growing Latino community on Long Island.
The free, all-day conference aims to examine media representation, the role of civic journalism in fostering community engagement and ways to improve the economic sustainability of local Latino media. Among the highlights is a keynote address by two-time Polk Award winner Juan Gonzalez, a columnist for the NY Daily News and co-host of Democracy Now, who will also discuss his upcoming book, News for All the People: The Epic Story of Race and the American Media.
In addition, an opening plenary will feature journalists and community activists pivotal to the ongoing discussion, including the publishers of Noticia, La Tribuna Hispana and QueensLatino.com, as well as the executive director of the Workplace Project, a community organization that fights against exploitation of Latino immigrant workers on Long Island.
"Last year, many Latino reporters and editors received hands-on training in skills such as social media, digital editing and streaming video. This year, the conference is focused more on how the Latin media, the community and Hofstra can work together to address the serious issues affecting Latinos, a population that has grown by 50 percent on Long Island over the last ten years," said Javier Castano, an adjunct professor of journalism at Hofstra University and founder of QueensLatino.com.
Members of the media as well as business owners, residents, students, activists and community leaders are encouraged to attend the event, which will include workshops on digital news, radio and community reporting collaborations, video action projects, and the use of social media in community outreach.
"Our goal is to foster greater cooperation and collaboration between Hofstra and local Latino media, and to assist the participants in the conference in sharing experiences, examining best practices, and searching for successful models for sustaining local journalism," said Evan W. Cornog, Ph.D., Dean of Hofstra's School of Communication. "We support an ongoing agenda for building the quality and influence of the Spanish-language media on Long Island."
Presented in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, the conference is open to the public; program details can be found at www.hofstra.edu/LMCprogram. For more information, contact Mario A. Murillo, co-director of the Latino Media Conference and chair of Hofstra's Radio, Television, Film Department, at 516-463-6062 or email@example.com.
"Latino Media Conference II: Innovative Communication Within and Across Communities" is presented by the School of Communication in cooperation with the Hofstra Culture Center, the Latin and Caribbean Studies Program, the Center for Civic Engagement, and the National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University, and is supported in part by the Tribune New York Foundation.
Hofstra University is a dynamic private institution where students can choose from more than 150 undergraduate and 160 graduate programs in liberal arts and sciences, business, communication, education and allied health services and honor studies, as well as a School of Law and the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine.
