FREE POSTAGE FOR ORDER FORMS Readers can now mail their Talking Book and Magnetic Tape order forms postage-free to their Regional libraries. The words "Free Matter for the Blind or Physically Handicapped" must be printed in the upper right-hand corner of the envelope. A VOLUNTEER A sunny lady by the name of Mrs. George (Louise) Robinson, of Phoenix, has been a star volunteer at the Talking Book Library, where she has put in over forty hours helping to transfer readers' records. Mrs. Robinson, before coming to Phoenix five years ago, learned Braille at the New York Guild for the Jewish Blind, and put her knowledge to use Brailling childrens' text books. Now, although having a garden, a house, a husband, and two dogs to care for (not necessarily in that order), she stil1 finds time to volunteer her cheerful (and cheering) services. On being approached for this interview, Mrs. Robinson said, "Oh, I wish you wouldn't bother, there's nothing outstanding about me," We think differently. TWO SIDED NEEDLE How many of you know there was another side to the needle you have in your talking book machine? Well there is: Many people have turned their machines in because it "garbles", or "the tone arm slides across the record", Well, there is a way to stop the "sliding" or "garble" without having to be without a machine while it is being repaired. On the bottom edge, towards the front of the tone arm, which is the tlthing" you place on the record, there is a thin, black lever which protrudes about one inch from one side or the other. This lever can be gently pushed down and in an arc to the opposite side of the tone arm until you hear a click. This will give you the other side of the needle and will enable you to receive twice the playing time you get from an ordinary needle. This needle is also easily replaced, as it is in a cartridge and can be pulled out of its socket. A new cartridge can then be inserted. So, before you get angry with the machine and turn it in, check to be sure the needle is still good. If you need a replacement just call your local sub-lending agency or Mr. Coutu at 271-4354 (Phoenix), or Mrs. Denogean at 622-7675 (Tucson). REGIONAL LIBRARIANS HOLD CONFERENCE "Innovation" was the theme of the Conference of Regional Librarians held by the Division for the Blind and Physically Handicapped in New York May 11,12, and 13. All states and territories were represented by regional librarians, Title IVB consultants, and heads of contracting libraries, who joined members of the staff of DBPH, HEW, the American Printing House for the Blind, and the American Foundation for the Blind in workshops, discussions, and tours. After a general session on Monday, chaired by Robert S. Bray, Chief of the Division, who introduced his staff and Paul L. Berry, Director of the Reference Department, the conference divided into geographical groups to meet in workshops which continued on Wednesday morning so that members of each of four groups could participate in sessions on Innovation in Reading Resources, Innovation in Services, Innovation in Communications, and Innovation in Procedures. Mr. Bray, Lillias Burns, Ralph Garretson, James Hahn, Ed Lewis, Hylda Kamisar, Jackie Wintle, Mrs. Peggy Howell and Mrs. Patricia Raley served as resource'persons at the sessions. On Tuesday the conference met as guests of the American Foundation for the Blind, a private nonprofit organization which has since 1921 carried on research, collected and disseminated information, and advised on matters that improve and strengthen services to blind persons. M. Robert Barnett, executive director, introduced John W. Breuel, director of the Manufacturing and Sales Department, Arthur Helms, production manager of the Talking Book Division, John Dunas, plant manager of the Talking Book Division, and Leo Levens, chief engineer, who discussed the recording of titles selected by DBPH and answered questions about the recording and production of records. Mary Ellen Mulholland, director of the publications division, and Claire Holcomb, edi torial specialist, invited suggestions from the librarians present for changes or improvements in Talking Book Topics and Braille Book Review. John F. Likely, director of the Business "and Office Management Department, explained the maintenance of the Talking Book Topics and Braille Book Review (inkprint editions) subscribers list, which was converted to computer in July and" August 1969. Readers names are kept in State- zip-reader sequence, and additions and deletions are read by an optical scanner, put on magnetic tape, sorted, and filed for printing. In answer to the Librarians' requests for copies of lists of readers serviced by their libraries, Mr. Likely offered to price printouts of seg~ents of the list. Ira Kaplan, manager of the Aids and Appliances Division, showed some of the products marketed by the Foundation--watches, carpenters' levels, compasses, etc. After lunch as guests of the Foundation, the conferees toured the several buildings occupied by the Foundation, visiting the sound studios where talking books were being recorded, tape duplicating and editing offices, production and shipping departments, and the Helen Keller museum. In the time remaining on Tuesday afternoon, some librarians visited the studios of Recordings for the Blind and the New York regional library. The reception and buffet at which the Foundation entertained the conference on Tuesday evening was the highlight of the conference. About 35 of the actors and television personalities who record talking books were introduced by the master of ceremonies, Leon Janney, himself a recorder of long standing. The librarians' applause was a measure of the popularity of the voices with their readers, some of whom want every record made by such popular professionals as Alexander Scourby and House Jamieson, all of whom want more biographical and personal information about the persons who record. At the final session on Wednesday afternoon one chairman, having been selected as spokesman by the four who chaired the workshop sessions on the same topic, presented conclusions and recommendations to the conference. Among recommendations were that reference services, especially the preparation of more in-depth lists, be strengthened; that the Library of Congress provide a consultant to work with new libraries; that LC provide a union list of periodical holdings; that regional libraries and contracting libraries be furnished a new organization chart of DBPH, with the names of persons who provide different services; and that position papers, such as those distributed in anticipation of this conference, be prepared at frequent intervals throughout the year.

Knight Internship Fellowship Recipient 2009
My internship experience at Moore allowed me to understand how businesses in the arts function and really got me involved with the Philadelphia arts scene.
Sarah Stolfa came up with the idea of the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center after completing graduate school. I learned that it takes lots of time and patience to start a business, especially a business in the arts.
Also, I met a lot of local photographers. I went to the annual Society of Photographic Educators meeting. It was great to be around so many practicing photographers and watch them come up with ideas for the convention in Philadelphia this year. Overall, it was a great experience.

Just how far has the culture in government schools devolved?
School district efforts to professionalize staff is now considered an affront to teachers.
At least that's the attitude emanating from teachers in the Hampton, New Hampshire SAU 90 school district.
The school board is considering an update to its dress-code policy for teachers, and, according to Seacoastonline.com, "several teachers are insulted such a policy exists, telling them blue jeans, sneakers, flip-flops and tank tops are off limits."
Superintendent Kathleen Murphy said staff members feel the proposed policy is "derogatory and condescending."
It's derogatory to ask professionals to dress a...

In response to:
Gremany had Hitler, we have Obama look what it took to get rid of Hitler
The second-term curse goes like this: A president (e.g., Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, etc.) wins re-election, but then his presidency implodes over the next four years -- mired in scandals or disasters such as Watergate, Iran-Contra, Monica Lewinsky, the Iraqi insurgency and Hurricane Katrina.
Apparently, like tragic Greek heroes, administrations grow arrogant after their re-election wins. They believe that they are invincible and that heir public approval is permanent rather than fickle.
The result is that Nemesis zeroes in on their fatal conceit and with a boom corrects their hubris. Or is the...

Bartow County Emergency Medical Services Director Larry Owens said CPR training will help citizens develop a useful skill and possibly aid in life-threatening situations.
"The more people that know CPR, the more people that can be saved," Owens said. "You never know when somebody might go down … from a heart attack or drowning and anything where there is sudden death [as a possibility] and you can do somebody a favor by doing CPR and hopefully keep them alive until EMS gets there."
He added, "What you do in the first two minutes is the most crucial."
"When a bystander provides effective CPR to a cardiac arrest victim, they can double or triple that person's chance of survival," AHA Training Center Coordinator Shelby Martin said in a press release. "The best response to for a cardiac arrest victim is to have willing bystanders that are trained and equipped."
According to the release, "The AHA estimates 400,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests happen annually. Approximately 80 percent of sudden cardiac arrests happen in private or residential settings. Only 41 percent of people who experience a cardiac arrest at home, work or in public get the immediate help that they need before emergency help arrives. According to the AHA, the hands-only CPR technique has been shown to be as effective as conventional CPR for sudden cardiac arrest, doubling or even tripling a victim's chance of survival."
"This is an important skill to have as you never know where you will be or when someone you know and love may need lifesaving CPR," Martin said. "And although we hope this is something that will never happen, being prepared may just save the life of someone."
According to Rebecca Long, specialist for external affairs and media relations for CTC, "The free Family and Friends CPR is a two-hour class for those in the community who wish to have the knowledge to perform Hands Only CPR, use an AED and to stop choking.This is not a class for someone needing or wanting to obtain a certification. The topics that will be covered will be adult, child and infant CPR, how to use and AED and how to relieve a choking victim.
"The classes will be offered June 3 to June 7 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., June 3 to June 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. and June 6 and 7 from 2 to 4 p.m. The class will also be offered June 1 from 10 a.m. to noon at the city of Acworth Police Department.
"Those wanting more information and practice may register for the HeartSaver CPR and AED class on June 4 and again on June 6 from 2 to 5 p.m. The course, which costs $20, offers a certification for those who need it for work outside of a healthcare setting.This is also appropriate for community members wanting to go more in-depth than just hands on CPR or those wishing to obtain a certification. Additionally, those needing certification for a healthcare position, may register for the Basic Life Support classes at a cost of $20. This is a certification course for individuals in the healthcare field needing adult, child and infant CPR, AED and choking prevention. This class will be offered on June 4 and again on June 6 from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m."
Martin said the course will assist in training for proper CPR amongst various age groups.
"Friends and Family CPR teaches how to perform proper compressions when dealing with an adult, child or infant and how to use an AED," explained Martin."This class takes just two hours, and you can learn valuable life-saving skills."
All of these classes are offered at different times during the year at Chattahoochee Technical College's North Metro campus at regular rates. Fees for the week of June 1 through June 7 have been reduced or waived in honor of CPR Week. For more information or to register, call 770-528-3538 or 770-529-2372.

Buying or selling of property is not something that can be done just like that. It should be noted that both the situations involve huge amounts of cash. This simply implies that the necessary care and keenness must be implemented when buying or selling property. There are factors that must be considered in the whole quest. Also, there are strategies that must be implemented to ensure that the entire deal goes as speculated.
Here are important tips to help you in any real estate deal:
Avoid Blind Deals
One thing you will realize is that people make blind moves and decisions when buying or selling property. This is the worst mistake that you can do when in a property sale/purchase deal. Like earlier stated, it is your money being invested in the property deal hence blind moves must be avoided always. If you have the tendency of trusting any person by just a look at their appearance, then you should drop the habit completely. It has been confirmed that striking of blind deals emanates from easy trust win. You must never trust anyone when buying property since it is the only way you can be safe.
Choose Agents Wisely
At times, it might prove really daunting to get the home or property you have been yearning for. This may be due to tight schedules or simply unfamiliarity with the geography of a certain place. It is in such situations that you can decide to consult a real estate agent. However, it should strike your mind that not all real estate agents can be ranked best. In this regard, you must be very selective when looking for a real estate agent. Needless to say, a credible and accountable agent is preferable.
Restricting yourself to just a single choice may not be a great idea. It is always best to do your comparisons and weigh different options. Out of that comparison, you can be assured of getting the ideal option in the end.

I can tell you that they are long enough to completely relax the string, without backing all the way through the barrel nuts.
Just because there are still threads engaged, doesn't mean that it is safe to shoot the bow that way!
Back the bolts out one full turn, and measure the draw weight. Repeat that and adjust to fractions of a turn as you get it close.
If your string is stretched a lot, your draw weight and draw length, are already higher than you might think. If that is the case, you need to take the bow in to a shop for a new string.

Jockey Quotes
EDWIN MALDONADO, AMARISH, Winner: "I didn't want to be next to the other horse (Run to Ground) because I didn't want to go too fast the first quarter. No reason to bang heads with that horse. I just stayed to the outside and just let him run his race. He went in 21 3/5 last time and today they went 22 and change (22.19) and he was doing it easy. He's so big and has such a long stride. I breezed him (three furlongs in 35 3/5 June 12) and he did it with his ears forward. I was really confident."
AGAPITO DELGADILLO, MORENO'S MINE, Second: "He ran well. He just wants to go a little farther."
JULIO GARCIA, UNDRAFTED, Third: "We had no excuses. We got close to the favored horse (Amarish) but couldn't keep up. My horse didn't change leads, but the winner was too good."
Trainer Quotes
JEFF BONDE, AMARISH, Winner: "(Maldonado) said he was not (lugging) out, he just didn't want him near the other horse. He's a very talented horse, no question about it. In our opinion, he was pretty impressive today. Every time I try to hook him up with somebody (in the morning), he just hammers them. He's very competitive and good minded. He walks like a horse who has done it a hundred times. We'll have a team meeting to figure out what's next.''
ERIC GUILLOT, MORENO'S MINE, Second: "He ran well, but needs to go longer eventually. The winner looked like he was getting out most of the race, so we'll probably come back in the (Grade III, $150,000) Hollywood Juvenile Championship (July 14).''

Scientific name: Thecla betulae
An elusive butterfly that spends most of its time either high in the canopy of trees or hiding in hedgerows.
It is worth looking up at prominent Ash trees along wood edges to see if small clusters of adults may be flitting around a 'master' tree where they congregate to mate and feed on aphid honeydew. Alternatively, adults sometimes feed lower down on flowers such as Hemp-agrimony, Common Fleabane, and Bramble. The females are most frequently seen as they disperse widely along hedgerows where they lay conspicuous white eggs on young Blackthorn.
The butterfly often rests with its wings closed showing orange-brown underwings with two wavy white streaks and small tails. Uppersides are brown with an orange mark.
The butterfly is locally distributed in southern Britain and mid-west Ireland and has undergone a substantial decline due to hedgerow removal and annual flailing, which removes eggs.

The November ballot is shaping into a housing supply theory showdown, and yesterday's [Thu/17] Board of Supervisors Rules Committee hearing was the first round.
The committee hosted two hearings on rival housing proposals for the November ballot: Sup. Jane Kim's City Housing Balance Requirement and Mayor Ed Lee's Build Housing Now initiative. The two purport to set similar goals for building affordable housing, but Lee's proposal contains a poison pill that would invalidate Kim's measure. Read more »
In the wake of yesterday's [Wed/16] judicial ruling that California's death penalty system is unconstitutional — with federal District Judge Cormac Carney calling it arbitrary and so subject to endless delay that it "serves no penological purpose" — San Franciscans could play a key role in converting the ruling into an abolition of capital punishment.Read more »
Fractional mortgage loans used to convert apartments into owner-occupied tenancies-in-common have fed the eviction and displacement crisis in San Francisco, where the median home price just surpassed $1 million for the first time. Now, some of the same San Francisco banks that pioneered fractional loans here have started offered them in the East Bay and on the Peninsula.Read more »
So another scheme -- in a long and rich history of such schemes -- is attempting to break California into more digestible parts, and gaining national attention. Venture capitalist Tim Draper's Six Californias is all but on the ballot, attempting to rechristen the Bay Area as Silicon Valley. Good luck with that! Read more »
Last year, the SF SPCA assisted with 5,084 cat and dog adoptions. With its new adoption center near Bryant and 16th Streets, which opened June 13, it aims to increase capacity by 20 percent — saving 1,000 more furry lives in the process.Read more »
Next time you head to your neighborhood Apple store to get that smooth and harmonious feel that can only comes with the gentle touch of an iPad air, you might be greeted by an unhappy security officer picketing outside. The officer might share some choice words about the working conditions at Apple's security guard contractor, Security Industry Specialists.
Over the next few weeks, the SEIU United Service Workers West has organized a series of actions with security guards to demand Apple choose a more responsible security contractor. Read more »
Thousands of Central American children fleeing drug wars and poverty are overwhelming the San Francisco nonprofits who care for them, but new information from the mayor shows this may just be the beginning.
Yesterday, just hours before Supervisor David Campos' resolution to bolster funding to aid the incoming refugees passed, Mayor Ed Lee warned the Guardian and other journalists that San Francisco is bracing for another influx of even more children in need.Read more »
Everyone knows that true artists do their best work right before deadline. [Ed note: I may or may not be writing this an hour or so before mine.]
Now in its third year, the Music Video Race is an annual San Francisco tradition that takes this dictum to heart, pairing 16 different musical acts with 16 filmmakers for a challenge that makes that "find a flag in the middle of this big fake nose filled with green goop" thing on Double Dare seem like a cakewalk: Conceive, film, and edit an entire music video in 48 hours.

This morning (Wed/16), outside the San Francisco Community Recycler's Center in the parking lot of the Safeway at Church and Market streets, a group of protesters stood in a cluster, chanting: "Cans not condos!"
As the Guardian previously reported, Safeway is in the process of evicting the recycling center, which continued to operate up until yesterday. The San Francisco Sheriff's Department, which carries out evictions on Wednesdays, had signaled to the center's operators that they could be forced out anytime after July 16. Read more »
As a part of a citywide effort to eliminate all pedestrian deaths by 2024, San Francisco will study the impact of reducing speed limits to 20 mph.
"This is a reasonable issue to look into making San Francisco streets safer," Sup. Eric Mar said, in a public statement. "There is too much excellent work and research going into it nationally and internationally to ignore." Read more »
At today's (Tue/15) Board of Supervisors' meeting, members of the board voted 6-5 against placing a proposal on the November ballot that would create special elections when vacancies arise on the Board or in the Mayor's Office.Read more »
More than any other Beatles album, A Hard Day's Night — which turns 50 this week — embodies the cliches surrounding the band. The cheesy harmonies, the "whoa"s and "yeah"s, the sappy love songs, the teen-idol cuteness: All are there in abundance. It's also the most obvious manifestation of the John/Paul dichotomy. Though the idea of John as the bad boy and Paul as the author of silly love songs is largely accepted as a myth by Beatles fans, it's a lot closer to the truth than folks give it credit for, and on no album is it more clear than A Hard Day's Night.Read more »
Solving tech's diversity problem may be a key to saving San Francisco
"Die techie scum." Those words are sprayed ominously on sidewalks throughout San Francisco. They're plastered on stickers stamped on lampposts. They're even scrawled in the bathrooms of punk bars, the very establishments now populated by Google-Glass-wearing tech aficionados.Read more »
San Francisco's Dangermaker is a roughly five-year-old band that has always seemed to deal in the dark arts of the indie world.
Driving hard-rock percussion and moody, anxious guitar hooks (Interpol at their most danceable?) lay a bed for singer Adam Burnett's plaintive wail, which — while Bowie comparisons are hard to live up to (and he gets them often enough) — has a way of sticking around your eardrums; its sense of being haunted comes across as organic, and original yet familiar, pained but very, very strong.Read more »

Adairsville suffered severe damage from the Jan. 30 tornado that passed through northwest Georgia. Among the affected was Daiki's Adairsville manufacturing facility, which destroyed the plant and displaced employees. Just days later, community leaders put together a relief fund to supplement unemployment benefits.
"We saw a need there," said NorthSide Bank Executive Vice President Barry Adcock. "NorthSide Bank partnered with my church, Cedar Creek Baptist Church. We had some of our members there at Cedar Creek impacted by the tornado that were employees at Daiki. So we were able to partner together, the church and the bank, to open and start this Tornado Relief Fund. I am thrilled and again I want to say thank you because you guys helped bring in over $45,000, which we were able to distribute to impacted employees. They were drawing unemployment, but it fell way below most of their needs.
"I just want to say, 'Thank You,' to all that contributed to that. There was the Kiss the Pig contest and many other things that were done. Then people would just walk in the door and hand us checks or money for that cause."
Adcock went on to thank those in attendance for continued support and patronage of NorthSide Bank, whose main office also was damaged in the tornado. Now located in a temporary location, he expressed gratitude for customers bearing with inconveniences as the bank is repaired. Swanson declared the "community has never been stronger" and that he expects the main office to reopen in June.
Taking an informal poll of those in the room Thursday, Swanson compared those to a generally positive outlook seen in recent polls.
"A recent survey that just came out. Six hundred businesses are surveyed each quarter by Wells Fargo and Gallup Poll," Swanson said. "In this poll, 48 percent that responded felt that business was good or very good in the last 12 months. I'd say that's a good thing. In fact, when you look at poll results, they are some of the highest poll results we've had since 2007.
"And interestingly enough, 53 percent of the businesses surveyed in this poll expected business to be either good or very good in the next 12 months. So it's pretty similar results as our informal poll this morning and that's good news. I think the good news is the economy is coming back to life."
Swanson continued with a demonstration in effective communication, an attribute business leaders can utilize to take advantage of opportunities he feels are on the horizon of a rebounding economy.
"Housing and real estate recovery are well underway. Working at a bank, I get lots of data coming at me," Swanson said. "What I am hearing is that the housing market is about to boom. ... Housing inventory in some markets is nonexistent.
"When you look at the Georgia economy, typically Georgia's GDP has been supported 20 to 25 percent by the construction industry, but in the recession, that dropped to as low as 5 percent. So even if you're not building homes or supplying homes, the construction industry and all the economic activity trickles down to everything we touch. So as that comes back to life, our economy is going to create lots and lots of opportunity."
Eggs & Issues meets the first Thursday of every month at the Adairsville Inn. For more information, call 770-382-1466.

Cadel Evans of the BMC Racing Team finished eighth overall at the Giro del Trentino on the strength of a fifth-place result in Friday's final stage that finished atop the Sega di Ala climb.
Continues To Improve
An attack by Vincenzo Nibali (Astana Pro Team) with six kilometers to go in the 166.8-km race shattered a small, select group that included Evans. The 2011 Tour de France winner arrived at the finish 63 seconds after Nibali, who soloed to the stage win far enough ahead of previous race leader Maxime Bouet (AG2R-La Mondiale) to win the race overall. Evans said he rode the final climb at his own pace. "I'm just really going at my own rhythm and not watching the other guys," he said. "I'm improving and it's a long way to the end of the Giro (d'Italia) and a long way to the start of the Tour (de France) and it's even longer to Paris." BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said Evans's three teammates – Adam Blythe, Marco Pinotti and Stage 3 winner Ivan Santaromita – were all instrumental in helping Evans climb into the top 10 on the last day. "This is good for Cadel's morale and for sure he can improve in the next two weeks as we approach the Giro," Baldato said. "Today's final climb was real climb and really hard – 13 km with a steep part of 15 to 20 percent. So he did a great performance."
