Order Next Day on full-size orders by 11:59 p.m. ET 12/22 for 12/24 delivery Details
I'm so glad I finally ordered the full size version of this spray. It gives me just enough hold for my fly aways with zero stickiness, but also makes my hair shiny. I know a lot of people don't like the smell, but i love it! It smells like cinnabon or something.
This finishing spray is fabulous, because it provides a light and conditioning hold. I notice that my hair looks healthier when I use this spray, when compared to other hairsprays (my other favorite is Revlon Elnett). It has a wonderful scent that lightly lingers until washing. 2 thumbs up :)
I LOVE this product. It is the best thing I have ever found for use with flat ironing. I lightly spray it on dry hair prior to using the flat iron. It seems like it helps to "release" the hair when the heat is applied, with the end result feeling like a keratin treatment. It's soft and silky, but with staying power. Single best product I've ever gotten from a Birchbox in 2 years!
In theory, this is a great idea but honestly I don't even see a difference on my hair. It does smell really good though!
Every spray says "no stickiness" but this one lives up to it! I use it every day and it leaves my hair so soft and beautiful.
The smell of this product was overpowering. While I liked the way it styled my hair - I couldn't get past the smell. Therefore, I didn't use it after two or three tries.
One of my favorite samples I've received from Birchbox. I don't really write reviews, but I love this product so much, I wanted to! I've never liked the smell of a hairspray and I LOVE the smell of this spray, it's like brown sugar. It's so lightweight and feels like it repairs my hair. I'm interested in trying the shampoo/conditioner because of how great the finishing spray is.
This product does everything it claims, I was surprised. I use it after straightening my hair. It takes care of any flyaways and has a light flexible hold.
This stuff is hairs savior in a bottle build just for that, saving hair, my dead, dry, and over processed hair needed something that was going to be a heavy hitter. After using this for 2 days I notice instantly the difference in my hair. Oh, and the smell is pretty good mild and fun
This is one of my favorite things I've ever gotten in a birchbox. It sprays on lightly and doesn't make my hair feel dirty or oily. I don't have to wash my hair the next day from having the product in it. It keeps my hair from getting dry and frizzy. I use it whenever I straighten my hair now. I feel like my hair is much healthier. The little sample I got lasted me a couple months, and I used it probably 3 times a week, so it seems like a good buy also.

E. coli
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/e-coli/DS01007
Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria normally live in the intestines of healthy people and animals. Most varieties of E. coli are harmless or cause relatively brief diarrhea. But a few particularly nasty strains, such as E. coli O157:H7, can cause severe abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea and vomiting.
You may be exposed to E. coli from contaminated water or food — especially raw vegetables and undercooked ground beef. Healthy adults usually recover from infection with E. coli O157:H7 within a week, but young children and older adults can develop a life-threatening form of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
Signs and symptoms of E. coli O157:H7 infections typically begin three or four days after exposure to the bacteria, though you may become ill as soon as one day afterward to more than a week later. Signs and symptoms include:
- Diarrhea, which may range from mild and watery to severe and bloody
- Abdominal cramping, pain or tenderness
- Nausea and vomiting, in some people
When to see a doctor
Contact your doctor if your diarrhea is persistent, severe or bloody.
Among the many strains of E. coli, only a few trigger diarrhea. One group of E. coli — which includes O157:H7 — produces a powerful toxin that damages the lining of the small intestine, which can cause bloody diarrhea. You develop an E. coli infection when you ingest this strain of bacteria. Potential sources of exposure include contaminated food or water, and person-to-person contact.
Contaminated food
The most common way to acquire an E. coli infection is by eating contaminated food, such as:
- Ground beef. When cattle are slaughtered and processed, E. coli bacteria in their intestines can get on the meat. Ground beef combines meat from many different animals, increasing the risk of contamination.
- Unpasteurized milk. E. coli bacteria on a cow's udder or on milking equipment can get into raw milk.
- Fresh produce. Runoff from cattle farms can contaminate fields where fresh produce is grown. Vegetables such as spinach and lettuce are particularly vulnerable to this type of contamination.
- Restaurant meals. Cooks or servers who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom can transmit E. coli bacteria to food.
Contaminated water
Human and animal feces may pollute ground and surface water, including streams, rivers, lakes and water used to irrigate crops. Although public water systems use chlorine, ultraviolet light or ozone to kill E. coli, some outbreaks have been linked to contaminated municipal water supplies. Private wells are a greater cause for concern. Some people also have been infected after swimming in pools or lakes contaminated with feces.
Personal contact
E. coli bacteria can easily travel from person to person, especially when infected adults and children don't wash their hands properly. Family members of young children with E. coli infection are especially likely to acquire it themselves. Outbreaks have also occurred among children visiting petting zoos and in animal barns at county fairs.
Risk factors
E. coli can affect anyone who is exposed to the bacteria. But some people are more likely to develop problems than are others. Risk factors include:
- Age. Young children and older adults are at higher risk of experiencing illness caused by E. coli and more-serious complications from the infection.
- Weakened immune systems. People who have weakened immune systems — from AIDS or drugs to treat cancer or to prevent the rejection of organ transplants — are more likely to become ill from ingesting E. coli.
- Eating certain types of food. Riskier foods include undercooked hamburger; unpasteurized milk, apple juice or cider; and soft cheeses made from raw milk.
Most healthy adults recover from E. coli illness within a week. But some people — particularly young children and older adults — may develop a life-threatening form of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
Preparing for your appointment
Most people don't seek medical attention for E. coli infections. But if your symptoms are particularly severe, you may want to visit your family doctor or seek immediate care.
What you can do
If you do go to the doctor, you may want to write a list of answers to the following questions:
- How often are you having diarrhea?
- Are you vomiting? If so, how often?
- Does your vomit or diarrhea contain bile, mucus or blood?
- Have you had a fever? If so, how high?
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor may ask:
- When did your symptoms begin?
- Are you also having abdominal cramps?
- Have you recently traveled outside the country?
- Does anyone else in your household have the same symptoms?
Tests and diagnosis
To diagnose illness caused by E. coli infection, your doctor will send a sample of your stool to a laboratory to test for the presence of E. coli bacteria. The bacteria may be cultured to confirm the diagnosis and identify specific toxins, such as those produced by E. coli O157:H7.
Treatments and drugs
For illness caused by E. coli O157:H7, no current treatments can cure the infection, relieve symptoms or prevent complications. For most people, the best option is to rest and drink plenty of fluids to help with dehydration and fatigue. Avoid taking an anti-diarrheal medication — this slows your digestive system down, preventing your body from getting rid of the toxins.
Lifestyle and home remedies
Follow these tips to prevent dehydration and reduce symptoms while you recover:
- Clear liquids. Drink plenty of clear liquids, including water, clear sodas and broths, gelatin, and juices. Avoid apple and pear juices, caffeine, and alcohol.
- Add foods gradually. When you start feeling better, stick to low-fiber foods at first. Try soda crackers, toast, eggs or rice.
- Avoid certain foods. Dairy products, fatty foods, high-fiber foods or highly seasoned foods can make symptoms worse.
No vaccine or medication can protect you from E. coli-based illness, though researchers are investigating potential vaccines. To reduce your chance of being exposed to E. coli, avoid risky foods and watch out for cross-contamination.
Risky foods
- Avoid pink hamburger. Hamburgers should be well-done. Meat, especially if grilled, is likely to brown before it's completely cooked, so use a meat thermometer to ensure that meat is heated to at least 160 F (71 C) at its thickest point. If you don't have a thermometer, cook ground meat until no pink shows in the center.
- Drink pasteurized milk, juice and cider. Any boxed or bottled juice kept at room temperature is likely to be pasteurized, even if the label doesn't say so.
- Wash raw produce thoroughly. Although washing produce won't necessarily get rid of all E. coli — especially in leafy greens, which provide many spots for the bacteria to attach themselves to — careful rinsing can remove dirt and reduce the amount of bacteria that may be clinging to the produce.
Avoid cross-contamination
- Wash utensils. Use hot soapy water on knives, countertops and cutting boards before and after they come into contact with fresh produce or raw meat.
- Keep raw foods separate. This includes using separate cutting boards for raw meat and foods such as vegetables and fruits. Never put cooked hamburgers on the same plate you used for raw patties.
- Wash your hands. Wash your hands after preparing or eating food, using the bathroom, or changing diapers. Make sure that children also wash their hands before eating, after using the bathroom and after contact with animals.

Fleeting Images
Art Review: David Johansen, photographs. Grannis Gallery, Burlington. Through August.
Marc Awodey
"Probability #1" by David Johansen
Photographer David Johansen takes a new look at two subjects with one overarching theme in "Light Forms and Icescapes," his current exhibit at Grannis Gallery in Burlington. Germane to both ice and light is the artist's notion of transience. The show's subtitle is "Images of Ephemeral Objects and Events," and the delicacy of Johansen's pictures is mysterious and intriguing.
Part of the mystery is how these images were captured in the first place — Johansen doesn't explain. The "icescapes" are highly abstract studies in value, expressed with luminous grays and indistinct fault lines. The "light forms" of the "Probability" series consist of sapphire-blue, diaphanous waves that seem to have been frozen while undulating in a tenebrous void. All of Johansen's images are labeled as ink-jet prints on archival paper, but his artist's statement describes them as photographs.
The "Probability" series' blue-on-black waves look like phenomena generated by an oscilloscope and taken with long-exposure digital photography. That's not necessarily what Johansen did, but the elements of movement and time are integral to his pictures.
"Probability #1" is a framed ink-jet print with an onyx void to the left side of the image and an ethereal blue mass — the shade of a gas flame — undulating like a silk veil on the right. Subtle horizontal striations in the blue "veil" create fragile contours on the translucent surface.
The composition of "Probability #5" is more dramatic. An indigo tangle of tissues is crumpled to the left side, and a shape arcs across the image. From the left, it skims the top of the composition, then dives like a monochromatic rainbow into the lower right corner.
All of the "Probability" series images measure 24 by 16 inches. Numbers 1 and 5 are horizontally oriented. Vertical compositions include "Probability #9," which features two billowing, slightly overlapping masses of blue floating like jellyfish on a deep black background.
Johansen's second series of prints contains his "icescapes." Most of the works in the series measure 32 by 13 inches, and their rectangular format allows them to allude to landscapes. In contrast to the flitting blues of the "Probability" group, the "Ice" series captures the slow process of frozen water dissolving.
The horizontal compositions of "Ice #7" and "Ice #9" feature folded, silvery grays. In "Ice #7," creamy contours spread across the image like smooth snowdrifts freshly deposited on a convoluted glacier. "Ice #9" is composed of stronger diagonals, and a deep, dark pit seems to melt into the left corner of the icescape.
While the horizontally composed photographs are panoramic, Johansen's vertically oriented pieces recall Chinese landscapes. "Ice #6" is a vertical scene suggestive of a mountain face of slate grays, wrapped in encroaching layers of cloud and mist. In "Ice #1," a fine mesh-screen pattern overlies the contours of Johansen's gray ice surfaces. Jagged areas suggest crust, in contrast to the smoother-appearing works.
In the 30-by-23-inch "Ice #4," domes reminiscent of mountains in Yosemite press into the white upper reaches of the composition. "Ice #8," with the same dimensions, is the most somber piece in the show. It's darker — the lower corners are nearly black — and a lighter gray mass hangs in the middle of the composition like a storm cloud.
Johansen has devised techniques that enable him to create ambiguous, highly connotative imagery. It would be interesting to see what else his technical approach can generate. His digital prints are not wholly photographs in the traditional sense of the medium; rather, photography is simply a point of departure. The camera may be one of Johansen's tools, but his computer is even more vital.

I hadn't been on a spa break for years until my recent visit to the Titanic Spa, located near Huddersfield on the edge of the Pennines. What to expect? Would this be a relaxing weekend, or was it going to be more of a boot camp? What would the food be like and were portions going to be more healthy than satisfying? And would I come away feeling revitalised, or just a bit middle-aged and achy?

Allan Konopka is a microbial ecologist who serves as Director of Microbiology in PNNL's Biological Sciences Division.
He came to PNNL after 30 years as a Professor of Biological Sciences at Purdue University. His research has focused on diverse microbial habitats, including aquatic, surface and subsurface soils, and upon the ecology of both photoautotrophic and chemoheterophic microorganisms. He has investigated the role of microbes upon the fate and transport of both organic xenobiotic compounds and inorganic metals. These studies have had scopes ranging from analysis of microbial community composition and activity in natural samples to physiological and molecular analyses of microbes isolated from natural habitats. At PNNL, he is leading efforts on analysis of microbial communities and the development of novel technologies to develop a mechanistic understanding of microbial community ecology.
This area of research requires cross-disciplinary cooperation, and Konopka has performed collaborative research with limnologists, hydrologists, environmental chemists, soil physicists, geologists, envrionmental engineers and chemical engineers. Experimental analyses have been carried out on field sites (such as freshwater aquatic ecosystems and subsurface sediments), in laboratory microcosms, and upon pure cultures of microbes.
Konopka has authored or co-authored approximately 100 peer-reviewed publications in journals for microbiology and microbial ecology. He has also published several materials related to undergraduate education in microbiology, including software used to simulate laboratory exercises in microbiology.

I have sent in multiple forms and emails since 08/18/2013 trying to get someone's attention.
I am still waiting on someone from GooglePlay to contact me and correct their issue so I can send the update to the Market that will allow your app to start working.
They have blocked me from my own application!
I am trying everything I can to remedy this error by GooglePlay.
It is their error and they have blocked my access to my own app.

ipodNN: Sony last week revamped its Xplod car stereo head-end units with its first truly iPod-aware models.
The GT630UI, GT430IP, GT330 and GT130 all have a USB connection that allows iPods and (for the GT630UI) iPhones to be controlled and charged through the stereo's own interface rather than the player itself. The same support also allows other MP3 players to be recognized through the digital link.
All three also mark the introduction of a scan technology dubbed ZAPPIN that Sony says will do for digital content what auto-scanning does for radios; using the option plays samples of each track in a given piece of the listener's library to give them a taste of songs and allow playing it by ear rather than text descriptions.

I love small cities/towns with pride--and Pensacola has it. Start your visit with a tour here and to the nearby historic village...and you'll get a greater understanding of the challenging and interesting history of this area.
Lots of local artifacts for University of West Florida digs and also digs just behind the Museum. I believe Tuesdays its free. When I took visitors there was an area of interest for children.
I wouldn't rate it toward the top as far as museums go. It is nice and is informational. But needs a bit of a lift aesthetically.
We visited the Historic Pensacola Village and the museum is part of this collection. We toured 4 homes and the old Christ Church with an excellent guide who told us the history of Pensacola. The museum is free but the first floor is now under renovation from a BP grant. The 2nd floor has an enormous collection of historic artifacts... More
We stopped here on a Tuesday afternoon. The museum was being remodeled so the entire first floor was off limits. There was 2 more floors to visit. It was a nice little museum that had some baseball memorabilia and Coca Cola memorabilia. The third floor had work from the local students. It's a great way to spend the afternoon and... More
We enjoyed what little bit we were able to see. Remolding had the whole musem closed except floor 2. That was a bummer but I would suggest stopping by on a day of rain. If everything is open it would be a nice attraction. We were told they received a 1 million dollar grant from Bp so I am guessing... More
The T. T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum is located in a wonderful old building. Anyone who appreciates architecture will love it. The exhibits are fascinating and well done. We enjoyed every room. And best of all, it is absolutely FREE.
It's free so why not take a walk through and learn a bit about the man who brought so much to Pensacola and learn about Pensacola too.
I went here with somewhat lower expectations simply because Pensacola is a small town but I was very impressed with the number of exhibits within. Admission is completely free and there are three floors that cover everything from Pensacola's beginnings to its contributions to the region, wars, etc.
possibles visited when I was a kid, many decades ago. Ecclectic collection, something for everyone. Can't beat the price. I visit whenever I can. Always find something I did not see before.

Travel tough in parts of Wisconsin
A combination of falling and blowing snow is making travel difficult in parts of Wisconsin.By: The Associated Press, Superior Telegram
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A combination of falling and blowing snow is making travel difficult in parts of Wisconsin.
Numerous spinouts kept law enforcement agencies busy in eastern Wisconsin Friday morning where the wind off Lake Michigan caused heavy drifting. Light to moderate snow was expected to fall throughout the day.
Dozens of school districts decided to give students a long weekend, including Green Bay, Manitowoc, Oconto Falls, Wautoma and Wild Rose. The University of Wisconsin-Manitowoc also called off classes.
Snow totals ranged from 6 inches at New London in Waupaca (wah-PAK'-ah) County, 4 to 5 inches at La Crosse and 5 inches at Plover in Portage County.

U.K. commits to TCI loan | | Print | |
Written by Richard email@example.com | |||
Thursday, 10 February 2011 12:41 | |||
The much anticipated long-term loan commitment from the U.K. for the Turks and Caicos Islands appears to be in hand, pending Parliament's approval, but all the pieces have yet to fall into place to turn around government finances within three years. That's how long the Department for International Development (DFID) is giving the TCI government to turn its deficit spending into a surplus, which is a requirement of the loan guarantee of up to $260 million for as long as five years. If any member of Parliament objects to or questions the loan guarantee before Feb. 17, it will not go forward until the objection is examined, DFID said. In the TCI to make sure the government achieves a balanced budget by March 2013 is Caroline Gardner, the country's new chief financial officer appointed by DFID in September. She is responsible for all financial decisions of the interim government under the authority of His Excellency the Gov. Gordon Wetherell. The governor says the new loan guarantee is "interlinked" with an ongoing revenue study that is examining the possibility of new valued added taxes, property taxes and excise taxes. Also under study will be work permit and national insurance collection systems, and government fees and charges. The governor said the study is expected to be unveiled this month and go before the Consultative Forum and Advisory Council for comment. "We would like to have a package in place in time for the budget, which is also due by the end of March," the governor has said. Achieving government financial stability is one of the eight milestones set by Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Henry Bellingham before elections will be allowed. When the Constitution was suspended in August 2009 after allegations of government corruption, the country had a national debt of $135 million, including $56 million in unpaid bills and $19 million in short-term overdrafts. Strict spending controls were put in place, including a 10-percent pay cut for all government employees. Negotiations had been going on between the interim government and local lending institutions, but those fell apart in February 2010 when it became apparent that no lenders would extend credit to the TCI unless the U.K. would back it up. By April, the debt had increased to $159 million when the interim government passed its first budget of $221 million with a projected $26.6 million deficit. In July, after a change of government in the U.K., DFID said it would put together a lending package that now appears to have materialized. Government finances continued to nosedive, and the Advisory Council was told in December that the project budget deficit had more than double to $60 million. Meanwhile, the U.K. government has provided more than $44 million in short-term financing to keep the government running.

An Unrecognized Reason That Married Men Have Affairs
Evolutionary theory, gender differences, stereotype, media myth and cultural expectations invite us to recognize that men have more sexual desire than women both in frequency and intensity, are wired to have many partners, have more difficulty with monogamy and that as such, married men are more likely to have affairs than married women. The reality is that while married men have more affairs than married women –The difference is not that great.
- In the largest most comprehensive poll of its kind in 1994, Edward Laumann and colleagues found that 20% of women and just over 31% of men in their 40's and 50's reported having sex with someone other than their spouses.
- Young and Alexander in their 2012 book, The Chemistry Between Us: Love, Sex and the Science of Attraction accept a rough estimate of 30 to 40 percent infidelity in marriage for men and women.
The other reality is that while extra-marital affairs by definition involve a romantic and emotional relationship that has a sexual or sexualized component, research suggests that sexual drive is not the primary reason married men have affairs.

Fishing is a favorite outdoor sport of millions of Ohioans. Our state has many good places to fish in its creeks, rivers, ponds, and lakes as well as the Ohio River and Lake Erie. Fishing is fun, but your angling trips can be even more enjoyable when topped off by a meal of delicious fish you have caught. By knowing a few tips on how to handle your fish from the water to the dinner table, you will be able to enjoy some tasty fish dinners. Filleting is a popular method of preparing fish for meals. With practice and the proper knife, filleting is really easy. To fillet a fish, you simply cut the flesh away from the bones and skin. The end product is a boneless and skinless (or scaleless) piece of fish ready to be cooked.
Nothing beats the flavor of fresh fish. But to ensure the fish you catch are at their flavorful best, take some time to plan for their proper care. Fish is a very perishable food. If you bring fish home from a fishing trip, keep your catch alive as long as possible. A good stringer, fish basket or boat live well is fine for short periods, especially when the water is cool. But the best way to keep fish fresh is to put them directly on ice. Most fish caught in Ohio waters are safe to eat. But occasionally fish consumption advisories are issued for certain species of fish at specific water areas, by the Ohio Department of Health. To minimize exposure to contaminants: eat only skinned and boned fish, removing as much fat as possible; roast, grill, broil or bake fish; do not eat or reuse juices or fat cooked out of the fish. For updated fish advisory information, call the Department of Health at (614) 644-6447. When you are ready to fillet the fish, first examine it for freshness. Gills should be red or bright pink and moist, not white or dull pink and slimy. Fish odor should not be excessive; the eyes should appear fresh and clear.
A good fillet knife has a long, thin, flexible blade. Most sporting goods and department stores sell fillet knives. Buy a good quality knife and keep it sharp. Have a smooth, flat board to for a cutting surface. A canoe paddle makes a good cutting board if you are filleting for a shore lunch.
Understanding the bone structure of a fish will help you fillet.
Make sure the fish is dead to avoid injuring yourself. Make the first cut behind the gill cover. Cut only until the knife touches the backbone. Do not cut through it.
Knife inserted behind gill cover
Knife into fish along the rib cage
When the knife blade no longer contacts the rib cage, push the knife through the width of the fish. The blade will exit on the bottom near the vent. Continue cutting along the bone until the fillet is cut off at the tail.
Cutting meat from rib cage
A second method is to cut through the rib cage and remove the ribs along with the fillet. An additional step is then required to cut the ribs away from the meat.
Remove the skin from the fillet by inserting the knife at the tail and cutting the meat from the skin. Hold the fillet in position by pressing down on the skin, with your thumb.
For those anglers who are transporting fillets, a patch of skin, enough to identify the species of the fish is required to be left on the fillet until a person reaches their permanent residence.
Removing skin
Repeat the same steps on the other side. Keep the fish cool, even during the filleting process.
Contaminants are found at higher levels in the fat of some fish. You can reduce the amount of these contaminants in a fish meal by properly trimming, skinning, and cooking your catch. Remove the skin and trim all the fat from the belly flap, the line along the sides of the fish, along the back, and under the skin. Cut away a V-shaped wedge to remove the dark fatty tissue along the entire length of the fillet. Cooking does not destroy contaminants in fish, but heat from cooking melts some of the fat in fish allowing some of it to drip away. Broil, grill, or bake the skinned fish on a rack so the fat drips away. Do not use the drippings to prepare sauces.
Fish will taste best cooked soon after they are caught. Fish can be stored in a refrigerator for up to two days, but if you cannot cook them within that time they should be frozen.
The best freezing method is to submerge the fillets in a container of cold water. Plastic freezer bags, freezer containers and paper milk cartons are good packages. Tightly seal the container and freeze it. This method helps prevent freezer burn and preserves the fine flavor of your catch.

YALSA's Virtual Mentoring Program
YALSA's virtual mentoring program pairs an experienced librarian with a new librarian or graduate student in a Library Science program. YALSA believes that we all have important skills and knowledge that we can share with one another and so this program encourages protégés to share their skills and know-how with their mentor.
This is a virtual mentoring program, so there is no requirement to meet face to face. All participants are required to devote 4 hours per month for a continuous 12 month period to the program. This year's program runs from August 20, 2013 - July 31, 2014.
Participants are strongly encouraged to design a project to work on throughout the mentoring year with their mentoring partner. Mentors are required to have 5 or more years of professional library experience.
Mentoring Program Application Materials
The application period for YALSA's 2013-2014 Mentoring Program is now closed. Details regarding the application process for the 2014-2015 program will become available in early 2014. Program guidelines and FAQs may be found below.
Mentor Guidelines
Protege Guidelines
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about the program? Please read our FAQ or contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1-800-545-2433 ext. 5293
Q: What is the time commitment for the YALSA mentoring program?
A: All mentors and protégés are asked to participate in online training sessions during the month of August and additional training sessions throughout the mentoring year. All participants are expected to give at least four hours per month to the program.
Q: How long is the program?
A: The mentoring program runs for 12 months, from August 2013 through July 2014.
Q: Who can apply for the program?
A: YALSA members who are graduate students in Library Science programs and Young Adult librarians with four or less years of service are invited to complete the protégé application. YALSA members who are young adult services librarians, secondary school librarians, administrators or library educators with five or more years of service are invited to complete the mentor application.Please note that both mentors and protégés must submit a reference form.
Q: When does the program begin?
A: Accepted applicants will be notified in late July and mentors and protégés will be matched in August 2013.
Q: How do I communicate with my mentor/protégé?
A: Once you are matched with your mentor/protégé the two of you will decide how best to communicate with one another.
Q: How does the program work?
A: This is a virtual mentoring program. Participants communicate with each other primarily through phone/email/skype/chat. After being matched with his or her mentor, the protégé will contact the mentor and determine when and how they will communicate. Mentors and protégés should establish short-term and long-term goals for the year, which meet the learning needs of both the mentor and protégé. YALSA encourages mentors and protégés to identify and collaborate on specific activities to support the learning goals of the mentoring relationship.
YALSA will provide participants with a handbook that includes monthly discussion topics as well as a suggested list of resources that mentors and protégés can use to develop their mentoring goals or jump start their mentoring conversations and activities. In addition, YALSA will provide a space on ALA Connect for mentors and another for protégés. The space can be used for sharing resources, networking, exchanging ideas and more. YALSA will also host quarterly training sessions for mentors and protégés. If enough participants indicate an interest, YALSA will host a get together for mentors and protégés at ALA's 2014 Midwinter Meeting and Annual Conference. At the conclusion of the program, mentors and protégés will be asked to complete a program evaluation.
Q: Why does YALSA strongly encourage protégés to have a project to work on throughout the mentoring year?
A: YALSA has found that protégés who apply to the program with firm goals and a project in mind have greater success and get more out of their mentoring partnership. YALSA does not assign projects to protégés because everyone's needs are different. Having a project or goal in mind when entering the program helps give shape and structure to your mentoring relationship.
Q: How will I be matched up with my partner?
A: A Task Force, appointed by the YALSA president, will review the submitted applications. The task force will match accepted mentor and protégé applicants based on type of library, geographic location, and areas of interest.

The LOST finale has come and gone.
Facebook petitioned for the planets to align perfectly so nothing would interrupt this climactic moment.
The streets were quiet, the airports shut down, and my dog didn't need to take a crap outside for three hours.
I'd never seen the show before last night.
Why then, after avoiding this show for six seasons, would I sit down with a Costco size bag of Swedish Fish and watch the finale?
Well, according to the 346 Entertainment Weekly covers featuring all thing LOST, all questions I could possibly have about this enigmatic television show would be tied up in a frilly little bow by the show's end.
But after two and a half hours of sweeping music, earthquakes and tears (most of them, mine), I still have questions.
As I watched, and yes, cried a lot, all the mysteries of the LOST universe slowly revealed themselves. But I still didn't know what the fart was going on.
In an effort to stay relevant on my Twitter feed, I need to figure this shit out. I've whittled my main concerns down to 10.
I'm hoping, now that LOST fans have literally nothing to live for anymore, that they might refrain from offing themselves and take time to answer a few questions.
10. Who's actually hotter – Jack or Sawyer?
9. What was the white light hole in the ground thingy? Heaven? A hottub?
8. Do you really believe in Duct tape?
7. Why was Locke such a dick?
6. So, did all of the people on the plane have to wait until Jack died before they could all go to heaven?
5. The pilot, the Asian dude and the guy with permanent black eyeliner were also on the plane at the end. Why weren't they at the church?
4. So the fat dude, Desmond and Ben were like, soul wranglers? They brought all the peeps together and got them to feel each other up and cry?
3. How much do you think the new ABC show The Gates is going to suck? Why does every network think it needs a vampire show now?
2. Did "The Others" all congregate at a Sizzler down the block? Didn't see any of them at that church.
And the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION OF ALL –
1. What happened to the dog??!?! He wasn't at the church. SURELY he did NOTHING wrong. BAD CONTINUITY people.
Overall, it seemed to end nicely. Kind of The Sixth Sense meets The Dead Zone thing. For those die hards that will be walking around today in the hollow shells of your former selves because you're so, well, lost without LOST, I'm sure ABC a new, totally-baffling-in-every-way show cooking right now to re-captivate you before you turn to the dark side and start watching Two and Half Men on CBS.
Later dude.
