- Circulation will change. Expect more circulation of ebooks, especially for nonfiction. I've been reserving some of my book budget this year to purchase more ebooks and I've met with one of my district administrators about a grant that we may apply towards ebooks.
- Fewer teachers come into the library space for research and may leave out the librarian completely. One librarian reported going into the classroom for research instruction, which will be problematic for me because I do not have an assistant; therefore, if I go into the classroom I will probably have to lock the library. I'm not ruling this out though. For me I think part of the answer to this issue is flipped library lessons. If the teachers don't feel that they have the time or need to come to the library for research, I'll let the library come to them. I've already asked my teachers for lessons that they may need in addition to lessons I've been brainstorming. I think I'll use Educreations to record the lessons.
- Budgets either stayed the same or decreased even though ebooks are usually more expensive. In our annual school board library report it might be wise for us to include the cost of ebooks. I think many people have the misconception that they are cheaper. I don't want to approach this in a complaining manner, but I do think it is important for us to share the we will still need a book budget to ensure that our collection meets the needs of a 1:1 environment. A larger collection of ebooks brings on other challenges such as book promotion and instruction for check out. I've seen some creative book displays for ebooks that I plan to try. I also plan to have a "Library in Your Pocket" orientation for students so that I can show them how to use the apps they will need including Destiny Quest and Easy Bib.
- The library website is used more often. I'll definitely need to put some time and energy into updating the website, making it mobile friendly, and promoting the site as the gateway for research. I'm leaning towards Symbaloo right now, but I'm still reading and looking at examples.

I am really interested in discussing flipped library lessons.

My district is considering 1:1 too, but we've got several kinks to work out.

Tamara, I am doing an interim in a middle school library starting in March. I have not been in middle school in a looooong time. Your blog has been so helpful as I plan ahead. I want to do a comic corner, but I have no idea what kinds of titles to choose. Can you suggest any.
ReplyDelete I found your blog and I'm pulling so many ideas from it. :) I have a quick question. I've been interested in getting ebooks for our school library. Where do you purchase your ebooks from? How do you put them into circulation? How much are they usually? Just gathering some information. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRepliesHI Samantha! So glad you've found some of my posts helpful. I just purchased ebooks this year to get ready for next year. I haven't in the past because most of our students did not have devices. I purchased from Follett. We use Destiny and I thought it would be good to go with them to make it easier and more streamlined. Most of the other librarians in the district did the same. The prices range from a few dollars to $50 for a unlimited access title. Most of the popular titles are more expensive than the print version. I purchased a few thousand dollars worth and I'm going to see how next year goes to make better decisions about what to buy.

Bucher Offers $30 Million for Listed German Automation Supplier
Patrick WintersBucher Industries AG, the Swiss maker of agricultural machinery, plans to acquire Jetter AG, valuing the German maker of automation systems at about 23 million euros ($30 million).
Bucher offered 7 euros per share, 70 percent higher than the price of Jetter stock on Sept. 6, Niederweningen-based Bucher said today in a statement. Bucher, which already owns a 20 percent stake in Ludwigsburg-based Jetter, said the offer is subject to approval by antitrust authorities.
The takeover of Jetter, which makes programmable logic controllers and motion systems used to make factories more efficient, will give Bucher a foothold in industrial automation. Jetter has supplied the Swiss company since 2002 and gets about half of its sales from Bucher.
Jetter will be consolidated under the Bucher Specials segment where it will continue to be managed separately, Bucher said, adding that it will provide know-how and financial support to improve profitability at the company.
Jetter's executives support the offer and founder Martin Jetter plans to resign from the management board as of Dec. 31 to be replaced as chief executive officer by Christian Benz, the company said.

Wheels & Deals: NASCAR Teams See Tough Times In Landing Sponsors
Published October 24, 2008
ESPN's Marty Smith notes a Sprint Cup primary sponsorship 10 years ago "was about $10(M), and you could get an entire season," whereas teams now are asking for $26M from sponsors. Smith: "It's hard for teams to go out and get that kind of money. Right now ... about 25 cars are fully sponsored for 2009. There's 43 in every field, so there's going to be a lot of teams out there scrapping and clawing trying to find money. Never before in this sport have so many owners been discussing collaborations, allegiances and alliances, and even mergers, just to keep their teams afloat" ("ESPN First Take," ESPN2, 10/24). Meanwhile, NASCAR Chair & CEO Brian France Thursday said that NASCAR "will not decrease the size of the starting field next season" for Sprint Cup Series races. When asked about speculation that NASCAR might reduce the field from 43 cars to 36 "because of difficult economic conditions," France said, "That's not at all in the plan" (ESPN.com, 10/23).
CASE IN POINT: Chip Ganassi Racing President Steve Lauletta said the team is "100% prepared" to go into the '09 NASCAR season as a two-car Sprint Cup operation and with one Nationwide Series entry. However, Lauletta added, "If there's a way for us to look at a collaboration with another team and make ourselves stronger, we're certainly going to pursue that dialogue." He said no deal is close, and the team is "working really hard to make ourselves more viable from a sponsorship perspective." Lauletta: "If that means being able to share resources and do things a little bit differently, we'd certainly be open to it" ("NASCAR Now," ESPN2, 10/23).
TOMORROW IS TODAY: The AP's Mike Harris reported NASCAR is not planning to switch from its use of the Car of Tomorrow for the '09 season, and that the COT is "going to stay ... for the foreseeable future." NASCAR Managing Dir of Corporate Communications Ramsey Poston: "There is no official statement on changes to the new car, but I can say that no changes are planned. ... Making changes at this point would likely cause teams to have to further make adjustments to their adjustments and that's not productive." Driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., who has complained about the COT at times this year, said, "The car is definitely still a work in progress. ... Whenever they decide to move forward and evolve and let that car change and become a better race car, we will be ready to do that. But until then, we really don't have a choice in the matter" (AP, 10/22).
NEWS FROM DOWN UNDER: Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing drivers Justin Wilson and Graham Rahal will feature "small decals honouring" late team co-Owner Paul Newman during Sunday's IRL Nikon Indy 300 at Surfers Paradise, Australia. The decals "include a logo with 'PL,' a nickname by which most of his racing friends knew him, and a reference to him being a 'true friend' of racing" (AP, 10/23)....Australian development Sanctuary Cove will sponsor IRL driver Alex Tagliani's No. 36 entry during Sunday's race. The development's logo will be "displayed prominently on the side pods, rear wing and engine cover" (AUTORACING1.com, 10/23).

Hardanger Retreat
This retreat was desgined and built by Todd Saunders and Tommie Wilhelmsen. A self-initiated and self-financed project. The main dilema for emerging architects is finding clients willing to take a chance with young, enthusiastic architects that have limited experience. When we first started our firm, instead of looking for clients we went looking for plots, to build an experimental structure. Doing this, we could pursue our architectural vision in line with our convictions: uncompromising, original and respect for the landscape.

Another day, another video of a sort of awkward guy playing jokes on random strangers.
The boys from LAHWF are back with another video. Previously, they held doors open for people who were far away, with hilarious results.
It's very surprising that Andrew here wasn't punched for trying to hold their hands, because I know my first instinct is to start hitting things that randomly grab me.
My favorite part of this is that it's mainly the guys that go along with it more readily than the girls. Oh what? Hand holding? Let's swing our arms and be fancy!

This article is part of the That Insidious Beast series.
The Thing
I am standing in water. It floods into my boots. The sun is warm on my back. I squint up into the light. It is so very bright...I was somewhere else just a moment earlier. Where was I?
My mind is dizzy - reeling - and I feel almost drunk.
I look around and see that I am standing in a pond. Thousands of tiny green plants float on the surface of the water and cling to the fabric of my pants. I am wearing camouflage pants and big army boots. There is a boy's bicycle in the weeds. It is too small for me to ride.
There is a wide open field of tall, wild grass all around. I can see houses and handsome trees. There is a fence nearby and a gate and a boy waiting to walk through that gate. I feel certain that I know him.
Mrs. Harding. No. She's there. I need to stop the boy!
"Wait," I try to yell, but my voice is gone.
It is too late anyway. He has stepped into the yard and there is no sound at all. The water does not even splash as I run along the slippery rocks. I climb out of the pond and up the steep bank. I can see it moving. Just shapes and shadows. It's doing it. It's changing now.
"No!" I scream, but there is no sound.
The white face looms into view. The white face, big as a clock on a clock tower, waiting to come out of the shadows and silence me.
But it isn't the white face. It is a man like any other, only his hands are...
"Unfolder," the sound comes out, barely a whisper.
I am standing behind myself. Only a child. I remember this. I know this. There was someone behind me too. I tried to tell Sheriff Oates, but they figured I was imagining things.
"You are not supposed to be here," the man says.
He is wearing a suit and tie. His hair is groomed immaculately. He is slim and tall and looks at ease. He is holding both hands up from his chest as though he is playing a piano. He is not.
His fingers are unfolded, like sheets of dark paper that twist and spiral into impossible angles. These shifting helixes extend outward, moving, coming to points.
He is playing Mrs. Harding. Still alive, or brought back alive. She is torn open with precision. Dissected like a specimen.
"How did you come to be here?" The Unfolder asks me with a slight edge of concern to his voice. "You were never here before."
His accordioned paper fingers slice open organs and separate meat from bone. Mrs. Harding continues to breathe. To watch us. To try to speak.
"I was," I say. "I remember it now for certain. I remember these words."
"You were. You remember them for certain. You remember these words."
Mrs. Harding's heart seizes, but the Unfolder tickles it with his impossible fingers and it begins to beat again. His entire body is beginning to bounce like a paper spring. He is coming apart like a stack of papers being caught sheet-by-sheet in a gentle, swirling wind.
"Does your father wear a hat?" The Unfolder asks.
"Yes," I answer.
"You are editing," the Unfolder comments. "This is not done."
"What do-"
I am in a moving tram in a darkened tunnel. Overhead lights strobe through the curved windows. I am sitting next to a fat man who stinks of blood and wears a white hood over his head.
"Almost there," Fatso says. "Did you go to the toilet?"
We are almost there. I did not go to the toilet.
The most beautiful woman on all of Facebook is no longer just enchanting your Facebook feed. She's here, y'all!
These sponges will make your hair WHITE and your teeth CURLY.
I mean, they're not that bad. "Substandard" vending machines.

Giant Glass Orb Could Replace The Solar Panel
Currently seeking funding through Indiegogo, Rawlemon is an oddly beautiful eyeball-shaped lens, that uses refraction to concentrate sunlight with minimal need for tracking.
This is part of a series of articles that looks at entrepreneurs hoping to get their ideas off the ground through crowdfunding. At the time of writing, each of these innovations is currently seeking funding.
The solar energy industry is still in the process of exploring how to make photovoltaic panels more efficient and less intrusive, and researchers at Stanford have already pushed forward with peel-and-stick solar panels. However, for high power usage the devices must be large and in direct contact with the sun at all times, meaning they need to track its position in the sky using sensors and equipment that are expensive and susceptible to bad weather. Currently seeking funding through Indiegogo,Rawlemon is an alternative in the shape of an oddly beautiful eyeball-shaped lens, that uses refraction to concentrate sunlight with minimal need for tracking.
Designed by German architect Andre Broessel, the invention uses a large glass sphere lens, which collects diffuse light from multiple angles. The shape of the lens focuses this light into a fine beam — much like a magnifying glass — that can deliver a greater amount of sunlight — around 70 percent more — than traditional photovoltaic panels can collect on their own, even when they track the sun. The system enables Broessel to reduce the size of the solar panel to around one percent of the typical PV device. At the same time, the Rawlemon product is arguably much more aesthetically pleasing than the gray, oblong panels currently in use. The video below explains the idea in more detail:
The project is running an Indiegogo campaign until 1 March, where backers can pledge to have Rawlemon's Beta.ey XL device installed in their homes for USD 6,000. Those who's pockets aren't quite as deep can still trial the concept through the Beta.ey Special Edition for USD 489, a miniaturized version of the device that can charge users' phones — a product in its own right. If the price can be brought down further, could Rawlemon even replace the solar panel?

Help improve unequal relationships with the Don't Be Taken For Granted Hypnosis Script
How to help people stop being taken for granted with hypnosis
People can get used to anything, and that includes getting used to having other people do things for them or respond to their requests. After a while, no matter what level of effort or sacrifice is involved, it is 'expected' and seen as unremarkable.
When this happens, whether it is privately between a couple, or more publicly in a work situation, the relationship between the parties involved goes out of balance. If things are not put right, personal and social relationships can literally be destroyed.
Whose job is it to fix it?
The Don't Be Taken For Granted Hypnosis Script from The Script Collection was developed to help people who feel that their efforts or contributions are not being adequately appreciated, or are being exploited, take a stand and demand fairer treatment.
The pre-talk looks at how this kind of 'inequality' arises in different kinds of relationships and suggests practical ways in which the balance can be redressed.
An engaging induction uses the recollection of a highly enjoyable pursuit to reconnect the client with a sense of purposeful, focused, effective yet untrammeled absorption in a specific activity. This is a way of being mentally 'in the zone' and boosts creativity and effectiveness.
The trancework uses metaphor and analogy to initiate a powerful process of transformation, allowing the client to see themselves in a different light, and with more capabilities than they might yet have realized.
Hypnotic rehearsal enables the client to experience the full reality of acting and thinking differently, and so getting different results. This script allows them to fully embed their new learning and make it natural for them to ensure they are never taken for granted again.

- - NOT STOLEN: Searching for information!
NOT STOLEN: Searching for information! I bought Rio about 9months ago but know nothing about her. She is a 15.2hh black mare. Freisian X TB. Not sure how old but we bought her from a woman who got her (and a few others) from a dealer. We have no idea where she has come from or what she has done so i would love to find out. She is micro chipped. From what we know of her she has jumped in competition. Not sure was it BSJA or something else. Thank you for any info possible :) x |
I cant really help, but maybe posting a picute of any distinctive markings/scars etc would be good for people recognising - seeing as how horses names can change so much :-) |
May this would be helpful. Stolen Horse International has as one of it's services a Searching for Equine History on NetPosse.com? You might can search the history there. The fact that your horse is microchipped gives you the number to type in for possibility a quicker search. Good Luck!:-P |

I haven't posted for a long time. The reason is that I sold my Sony R1 and Canon 20D. So, here is one of my older cat photos:
In fact, this is the photo I like the most. They were very cute kittens, extremely playful. Here they are resting after hours of playing. Of course, you can see more pictures of them on my photography site.

I'm a watercolor artist and I'm always on the lookout for new cat photos. Would you consider allowing me to paint a portrait from this reference photo? I would credit you and your blog for using the photo.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

It is interesting that the list is made up almost entirely of God and Monster stories and then...Glenn Beck.
People seem to like the left-leaning God, the apocalyptic politics and tenuous chastity. Good old themes taken to new extremes. - 8/06/2009 6:23 PM

Or maybe that's God to the left, Politics to the right, and sex in between.

The movie version of The Time Traveler's Wife is coming out; thus, I presume, the book's resurgence of popularity.
Of course, Doctor Who fans will probably recognize it as the plot of "Silence in the Library" from Season 4 of the new series. It will be interesting to see if people seeing the movie think the movie makers ripped off a DW episode. - 8/06/2009 9:40 PM

Fahrenheit 451 is in the top ten because of summer reading lists for high schoolers.

We bought The Death of Outrage back in the 90's, but then Bill Bennett's a pretty good writer. As thick as the political diatribes are coming these days, you'd think they'd just put them out in a pulp edition and have done with it. Kindle may find its raison d'etre right there.
Sexy vampires in N'Awlins--didn't Anne Rice dabble in that years ago? I guess with the undead staking (pun intended) out Luzianna and the Pacific Northwest, the rest of the world can breathe easy.
BTW, thanx for the link to "Jill and Kevin's Dancing Divorce Hearing." We rolled on the floor! - 8/06/2009 10:51 PM

The Shack is number 2, great.
I've been having discussions with a couple of Basilian priests that 'highly recommend' this book. Sadly my conversations with them have not convinced them of their errors.
Should I out them and post about it?
Anyhoo, what are you thoughts of 'The Shack'?
No, I haven't read it, but I know enough to know that it denies the existence of evil and condemns organized religion. - 8/07/2009 9:05 AM
- lissla lissar said...
The Shack was an utter, utter waste of time, with the worst writing I've read, short of a Stephanie Meyer book or a romance novel. No, wait. As bad as either. Riddled with huge, gaping, incredible theological errors and characters as believable as.. actually, I can't think of a good example. I wanted to gouge out my eyes.
I was given a copy for Christmas.
I read Twilight, and it's like looking into a 14-year-old girl's romantic fantasies, except the girl has huge self-hate and Daddy issues, and the writing is beyond bad. Seriously- the main character's creepy vampire boyfriend controls her life, watches her while she sleeps, and refuses to allow her to kiss back because he might get too excited and kill her.
It was damn creepy. The bit where the vampires are described as sparkly, sorry, "incandescent", was funny, though. They look like they've got little diamond chips embedded in their skin.
The Time Traveler's Wife came out about 2003ish, and has made very good sales consistently since. It's a pretty interesting love story about a man who time travels involuntarily- it's described as similar to epilepsy- arriving naked and usually disoriented anywhere in about a 100-year span. He compulsively travels to events and people that have been (are) or will be important in his life. It's mostly about longing- he and his wife meet and are separated over and over, and their lives are even more tangled and intertwined than most couples', because he visits both her past and future selves.
Okay, this is getting too long. - 8/07/2009 2:51 PM
- Tito Edwards said...
The reason why I brought up The Shack is because I've been invited to join a book club at one of the more notorious dissident parishes.
Speaking with their pastor about my concerns led me to agree to read it. I will make a report and then approach the pastor a second time to allow him more to to "reassess" his error.
Tito - 8/07/2009 3:44 PM
- CMinor said...
Haven't read The Shack, as I haven't heard much good about it.
I will concur with Lissla Lissar re Twilight, of which the first book was more than enough for me.
I was left wondering more about the psyche of Stephenie Meyer than about what would happen in the rest of the series. - 8/08/2009 5:14 PM

Three Cups of Tea is an interesting read because it gives the people of Pakistan a face...they aren't all just anti-American Islamic jihadists. He offers a bit of "insider's" perspective on the rise of the Taliban.

In 1930, a young astronomer named Clyde Tombaugh found Pluto. He did it with a high tech marvel called a blink comparator; he put two photographs of the same patch of sky taken on different nights into the contraption and flipped back and forth between them. Stars would stay fixed, but objects like comets, asteroids, and planets moved.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to report an issue.
Astronomers have since traded photographic plates for massive digital images. But Tombaugh's method — take a picture of the sky, take another one, compare — is still used to detect fast-changing stellar phenomena, like supernovae or asteroids headed toward Earth.
True, imaging the entire sky, and understanding those images, won't be easy. The first telescope that will be able to collect all that data, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, won't be finished until 2014. Perched atop Cerro Pachón, a mountain in northern Chile, the LSST will have a 27.5-foot mirror and a field of view 50 times the size of the full moon seen from Earth. Its digital camera will suck down 3.5 gigapixels of imagery every 17 seconds. "At that rate," says Michael Strauss, a Princeton astrophysicist, "the numbers get very big very fast."
The LSST builds on the most ambitious attempt to catalog the heavens so far, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Operating from a New Mexico mountaintop, the SDSS has returned about 25 terabytes of data since 1998, most of that in images. It has measured the precise distance to a million galaxies and has discovered about 500,000 quasars. But the Sloan's mirror is just one-tenth the power of the mirror planned for LSST, and its usable field of view just one-seventh the size. Sloan has been a workhorse, but it simply doesn't have the oomph to image the entire night sky, over and over, to look for things that change.
The LSST will cover the sky every three days. And within the petabytes of information it collects may lurk things nobody has even imagined — assuming astronomers can figure out how to teach their computers to look for objects no one has ever seen. It's the first attempt to sort astronomical data on this scale, says Princeton astrophysicist Robert Lupton, who oversaw data processing for the SDSS and is helping design the LSST. But the new images may allow him and his colleagues to watch supernovae explode, find undiscovered comets, and maybe even spot that killer asteroid.

How do I a USB flashdrive so I can use chmod?
I have a little problem with my USB flashdrive. This is what I have done: 1. Connect the USB flashdrive 2. Create new directory: mkdir /mnt/flash 3. Create new filesystem: newfs sd0c 4. Mount the USB flashdrive: mount /dev/sd0i /mnt/flash 5. ...do the work... 6. Leave the directory /mnt/flash (if needed) 7. Unmount the USB flashdrive: umount /mnt/flash It works good (at step 3 I can instead type "newfs_msdos -F 32 sd0c" if I want compability with Windows). But how do I mount the flashdrive so I can set the files permissions, user ID, group ID etc.? Thanks in advance /Quaxo |

Most people never hear about FNB United Corp. The Asheboro-based company's banks operate under the name CommunityOne through a large swath of North Carolina's mountains and Piedmont.
That's the main reason why the bank's management is asking for permission to change the parent company's name to CommunityOne Bancorp. The proposal will appear on the company's annual meeting ballot, according to a securities filing. The new name "better reflects FNB's identity and future direction as a state-wide community bank," it states.
FNB United also owns Bank of Granite after the two banks' joint recapitalization and merger in 2011. The company is now working to combine the two charters.
The bank's management is also asking for permission to triple the number of common shares it offers executives as part of their pay packages. Currently, the bank can give out 600,000 shares per year. FNB wants authority to give out 1.8 million. Each employee can now receive 50,000 shares per year. The proposal calls for that to double.
In December, FNB gave out 110,059 shares to its top six executives.

The benefits of Integrated enterprise-wide information systems (IS), such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, are widely accepted The implementation of such systems in large organisations is established with many in their second or third generation. However, in small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) the maturity and extent of their IS infrastructure is less clear. In engineering SMEs, this infrastructure needs to support not only business processes but also the activities of design and manufacture. In this case study, our goal is to provide a better understanding of current IS infrastructure, the functional elements of IS infrastructure, integration and expenditures are explored in ten engineering SMEs. A model of IS functionality is developed and used to identify and classify functional elements within the firms and to compare and contrast the IS infrastructures. The findings are contrasted with the SME literature and conclusions and implications developed.

Peters Canyon Regional Park was part of the original Spanish land grant, Rancho Lomas de Santiago. During those Spanish days, Peters Canyon was called Canon de las Ranas or "Canyon of the Frogs." This was attributed to the canyon's drainage into the Cienega de las Ranas or "Marsh of the Frogs," which is known today as Upper Newport Bay.
In 1897 the rancho was purchased by James Irvine, who leased out the canyon to several farmers. Beginning in 1891, and continuing after the Irvine purchase, James Peters, whom the canyon is named for, dry-farmed barley and beans in the upper part of the canyon. Peters built his home and planted a eucalyptus grove near Lower Peters Canyon Retarding Basin.
In 1899, a group of sportsmen from Orange and Santa Ana introduced the game of golf into Orange County. Leasing land in Peters Canyon from the Irvine Company, a nine-hole course was laid out by the Santiago Golf Club. Greens were made of oil-soaked sand and fairways of native soil. A red clubhouse was built on the ridge that now extends into Upper Peters Canyon Reservoir. The conspicuous building was seen by those who crossed the canyon between the El Modena Grade and Irvine Regional Park, hence the name "Golf Canyon" came into use.
To supply Irvine Ranch's water needs for its growing agriculture industry, two reservoirs were built. The first, Upper Peters Canyon Reservoir, was completed in 1931. The lower reservoir was constructed in 1940. Both lakes were used to regulate the Irvine Company's draft from Santiago Reservoir, as well as conservation of run off from Peters Canyon watershed. Today the lower reservoir is dry and serves as a flood control basin.
During World War II, Peters Canyon was used as a training area for the U.S. Army. "Camp Commander," as it was known, was established in eucalyptus groves near Little Peters Lake, or what is known today as Lower Peters Canyon Retarding Basin. Mock battles were staged between Camp Commander and "Camp Rathke," an Army post two miles away in Irvine Park.
On March 3, 1992, the Irvine Company dedicated 340 acres of Peters Canyon to the County of Orange to be preserved as open space. This land was turned into the beautiful park that exists today.

On one of the days I left Holy Cross Hospital, I took the California bus to Cermak, which is a decent artery that is about 2300 South. In fact, the borders of my Chinatown photos show the tail end of Cermak. I took a ton of photos, most are on my Flickr page. Cermak is the heart of the Mexican neighborhood of the Southwest side, and I found it interesting to see a toy store next to a pawn shop, that freakish hair salon display, and--right in the middle of the block, no real sign or anything--a bus terminal with a Chicago-Mexico route. Being used to Greyhound, it just seemed odd, more like people lining up for an outing to a casino in Michigan City.
Oh, and dig that mortgage place. They must have been doing great business.

Angels gather on rooftops and Victoria Square comes alive with acrobatics and dance in this free event, inspired by the Wim Wenders film.
The performance uses film projections to transform the newly restored Birmingham Town Hall, as dancers, circus artists and musicians tell a love story set between heaven and earth.
Part of the International Dance Festival Birmingham 2012, Wings of Desire promises to fill the square with music and spectacle, from the ground to the skyline.
The acrobatics come from the Australian circus company Circa, with Emma McGovern starring as Marion, the trapeze artist loved by an angel. They are joined by Britain's 2Faced Dance Company, a rising urban troupe, and the DJ and television star Goldie.
The arts and technology collective seeper use kaleidoscopic projections to highlight and change the architecture of the square. The family-friendly show is designed for all ages, and no booking is required.

How to | Create a User Interface Using .NET/Link
.NET/Link lets you write sophisticated user interfaces by calling .NET types directly from the Wolfram Language. Doing so allows you to evaluate code as you add it, either one or multiple lines at a time, much like when writing a program in the Wolfram Language. This results in an extremely powerful development environment that allows you to experiment with your user interface while it is running.
You must load the .NET/Link package before you can use .NET/Link (which can only be loaded on the Windows platform):
In[1]:= |
Use InstallNET to launch the .NET runtime:
In[2]:= |
Start off by creating a Windows Form, that is, a "window"; you can add controls such as menus to such a form:
In[3]:= |
In[4]:= |
Now the form appears. Watch what happens when the following properties are set for the width, height, and title:
In[5]:= |
In[6]:= |
In[7]:= |
You have just set standard .NET properties, much as you would in C# or Visual Basic. However, unlike these programming languages, the changes appear immediately in the window.
Next, create a Rich Text (RTF) box to enter and display text. This will later be added to the form:
In[8]:= |
Set its default font family and font size:
In[9]:= |
You will now dock the RTF box to the form.
First, load the .NET DockStyle type:
In[10]:= |
Dock the RTF box to the edges of the form, with the DockStyle set to Fill. This makes the RTF box fill the form, regardless of how the form is resized:
In[11]:= |
Next, make some menu items and add them to the form.
In[13]:= |
In[14]:= |
Add the Save As menu item to the File menu item:
In[15]:= |
Make menu items for selecting the font type and text color:
In[16]:= |
In[17]:= |
In[18]:= |
Add the Select Font and Select Text Color menu items to the Format menu item:
In[19]:= |
Make a main menu and add the File and Format menu items to it:
In[20]:= |
Add the main menu to the form:
You must now specify how the events, in this case clicking the specific menu items, will be handled.
Clicking the Save As menu item will open a file browser to save a rich or plain text document:
In[22]:= |
In[23]:= |
Clicking the Select Font menu item calls the Windows Font dialog when text is selected:
In[24]:= |
Similarly, clicking the Select Text Color menu item opens the Windows Color dialog box when text is selected:
In[26]:= |
You can now type and format text in the form.
You can also set the form to display some initial text:
In[28]:= |
In the form, choose Format ▶ Select Font, and display some parts of the text in bold or italics. Choose Format ▶ Select Text Color to add color to the text:
The file can now be saved by choosing File ▶ Save As in the form:

Destruction in whose name and of whose?Reader comment on item: Is Prince Charles a Convert to Islam? Submitted by Abuhajira (South Africa), Sep 21, 2007 at 23:54 Donovan said, "If Islam cannot or will not be reformed, then its destruction is the only alternative." Listen to yourself. Are you preaching peace? First you say that "Islam" which you by yourself do not have any right upon, needs to be reformed. Then you say that it needs to be "reformed" (i.e the muslims will not reform themselves, rather the reformation will be done by someone else). And finally you say, the only alternative is destruction. So listen to yourself again, are you preaching peace or that which you are condemning yourself!?!

DIALECTS. When most Texans think of Texas dialects, they likely think of the speech of an elderly man sitting outside a country store at some rural Texas crossroads or that of some older relative living in a small Texas town. When non-Texans think about Texas dialects, they probably recall stereotypes based on movies or television programs in which actors or actresses speak with what passes for a Texas accent-at least in Hollywood. However, linguists see Texas dialects as a more complex picture. Because their goal is to describe how language is in fact used by speakers, they label any variety of language a dialect, and the term is used descriptively, not pejoratively. Hence, everyone has a dialect, or more accurately, a range of varieties he uses, depending on audience, topic, and context. Dialectologists, those linguists concerned with the regional distribution of speech forms, attempt to analyze settlement patterns and the ways in which those patterns have influenced language in an area. This work often samples speech forms across large geographic areas, especially rural areas, in hopes of gaining insight into how a language has changed over time. The result is a map dividing the area, in this case, the state, into dialect regions. With a slightly different focus, sociolinguists, who are concerned with how and why particular speech forms come to be associated with particular social groups, examine how speakers from different backgrounds use language to establish and reflect their identities as individuals and members of groups. Sociolinguists are likewise concerned with how language continues to change and how social forces might be influencing the courses of change. Although the dialects of Texas are less studied than those of some states and regions, research that has been conducted provides a basis for understanding the nature and significance of dialects in Texas, first, with regard to settlement history and its influence on the state's regional dialects and, second, with regard to social dialects.
No doubt many people-Texans and non-Texans-think of Texas dialects as dialects of English alone, but such a perspective is too narrow. Each group settling in the state has brought its language. If the language continues to be used over time, a local variety of speech develops. In some cases, because of the paucity of speakers, the language dies out locally within a generation or two. The Dutch spoken in some areas of Texas in the last century, for instance, represents such a language. Although a few speakers of Wendish survive in Central Texas, they soon will die, and the Wendish language will become extinct in Texas (see WENDS), though it continues to be spoken in parts of Germany. Such patterns of language extinction are quite common for languages other than English in this country. In fact, immigrant communities often exhibit a "three-generation" pattern with regard to language: grandparents who immigrated to the United States begin life as monolingual speakers of the language of the old country; parents grow up here bilingual, speaking the native language of their parents and English; and the grandchildren grow up speaking only English and perhaps a little of the grandparents' native language. In other cases, languages persist much longer. Even though they are on the decline, German and Czech, for example, continue to be spoken in parts of Texas and have persisted far longer than Dutch did or Wendish will. Texas Czech and Texas German differ in describable ways from the Czech spoken in the Czech Republic or the dialects of German spoken in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland because of their isolation from other communities where the language is used (a situation which gives rise to changes internal to the language), because of contact with English, and because of use in fewer and fewer contexts. Texas German, in particular, has been the subject of scholarly research.
The Spanish spoken in Texas represents a more complex case. Because of the state's history and the large number of speakers of Spanish who are native Texans, the state's proximity to Mexico, and the continuing number of Spanish-speaking immigrants, Spanish continues to be widely spoken in Texas. As dialectologists would expect, Texas Spanish is quite similar to the Spanish spoken in Northern Mexico. At the same time, as a result of prolonged contact with English, it, like other varieties of Spanish in the United States, shows influence of that contact. For example, the meaning of levantar, which means "to pick up, raise, get up," has been extended under the influence of the English figurative use of the verb to include the notion of "give someone a ride" ("Pick me up at eight"). Varieties of Spanish outside the United States would likely use the verb recoger, which means "to gather or collect" in this context. Similarly, varieties of Spanish in the United States have borrowed words like troca ("truck") and parquear ("to park") from English. But more than simply words has been borrowed. Research demonstrates that the verbal system of Spanish spoken in Texas and the United States in general is being influenced by that of English; new Spanish constructions have been produced in Texas and the United States based on English models. Thus, one hears Hablame p'atrás "Call me back" (literally: "Speak+to me to back"). Other varieties of Spanish do not have such phrasal or two-word verbs; instead, they would likely use Llamame de nuevo, literally "Call+to me again." Although purists decry such usages, they are just the sorts of borrowings linguists expect from prolonged language contact.
An especially interesting feature of Texas Spanish and Spanish in the United States is the extent to which its speakers codeswitch, or alternate between Spanish and English while speaking, often within a single utterance. Again, purists (and many speakers themselves) criticize this practice as "bad" Spanish. From a sociolinguistic point of view, however, codeswitching enables speakers to use all of the linguistic resources at their disposal to communicate effectively with a wide range of audiences. Research from around the world also demonstrates that when such codeswitching occurs (and it is common in many bilingual settings), speakers are demonstrating their membership in multiple communities and the complex nature of their identities. Because most non-Hispanic Texans do not speak Spanish and most Mexicans do not speak English, Texas Hispanics who speak Spanish and codeswitch thus use language to establish a unique identity for themselves as a group.
Ultimately, social factors govern the fate of languages, including minority languages. The number of speakers, their attachment to the language as part of their identity, the extent to which they marry within their community and reside in areas where the language is spoken, the functions the language serves in the community (e.g., religious, educational, interpersonal, business), the larger society's attitudes toward the language and its speakers, and the behaviors and laws to which these attitudes give rise influence whether a language survives in a given locale. Anti-German attitudes during the two world wars, for example, largely account for the rapid decline in the number of speakers of Texas German. German speakers were seen as suspect by the larger society, and laws limited the teaching of German and its use as a language of instruction. The future fate of Texas Spanish as well as the languages of recent groups of immigrants to this state from East and South Asia is, therefore, unclear.
Just as the Spanish spoken in Texas has been influenced by English, the English spoken here has been influenced by Spanish in at least two very different ways. First, some monolingual speakers of English, nearly all of whom are Hispanic, speak a variety of English that is clearly influenced by Spanish, especially at the level of phonology or accent. This variety of English, which is variously termed Spanish-influenced English or Chicano English by researchers, represents an ethnic variety of English. It is analogous to the speech of some Texans who speak varieties of English that sound "black" or "white" to various listeners. Further, all Texans who speak English use words borrowed from Spanish. Some, such as tamale, bronco, and lariat, have national currency. (Lariat is an interesting case because speakers of English borrowed both the Spanish article and the noun, la riata and collapsed them into one word.) Other borrowings, such as arroyo, pilón, and llano, are far less widely known and are in many cases limited to the English spoken in parts of the state where there has traditionally been a large Spanish-speaking population.
Such a distribution of words demonstrates the validity of the importance dialectologists have long attached to settlement history as a determinant of regional dialects. Thus the research of E. Bagby Atwood, the Linguistic Atlas of the Gulf States, and Craig Carver analyzes the regional distribution of linguistic forms, especially words. Carver offers detailed discussion of the settlement of the state and its influence on language in it. He notes the early Hispanic settlers in two distinct areas of the state and the waves of English-speaking settlers moving to Central Texas in the 1820s from what many dialectologists term the Midland dialect region (including the Appalachians and southern Ohio River valley). With the English-speaking populations and especially the settlement of East Texas came slavery and African Americans. The 1830s brought the beginning of European immigration to Central Texas and the Hill Country, as well as continued immigration from various parts of the Upper South and the Gulf South. West Texas was settled much later. Since the time of settlement, the demographics of these various regions has continued to shift. African Americans, for example, were once concentrated in East Texas. Although many continue to live in small towns and rural areas in that part of the state, far larger numbers live today in the state's largest cities. Carver uses the metaphor of layers to describe the changing regional dialects of Texas. Consequently, he illustrates the extent to which dialects of Texas English exhibit Southern dialect features that extend into East Texas and Midland dialect features that stretch to the central Eastern seaboard, on the one hand, as well as the dialects of English that stretch into the Southwest, on the other. These layers reflect the provenance and migration patterns of the various groups of English speakers who settled the state and those who continued moving westward. In addition, Carver delimits two dialect regions within the state itself: a South Texas layer that runs by-and-large along the Texas-Mexico border and reaches up to San Antonio, and a Central Texas region that includes the areas where large numbers of speakers of German and other European languages settled.
The work of sociolinguists complements work that divides dialect regions on the basis of lexical items (words). Sociolinguists often consider urban as well as rural varieties of speech and generally offer analyses of the quantitative differences between the speech patterns of various groups. For example, most Texas use ain't when speaking in certain contexts, but members of various social groups, whether defined by region, class, age, ethnicity, sex, or some combination of these, use it more frequently than others. Similar kinds of quantitative differences can be documented for the pronunciations of many sounds, such as the i in might, the aw in hawk, or the r in forty. Sociolinguistic research generally attempts to illuminate the changes in Texas speech brought about by social changes that have taken place in the state since World War II. These social changes include the great influx of non-Texans, the growing availability of education for the majority of Texans, and increasing urbanization. Some of the sociolinguistic correlates of these changes include the development of new urban varieties of speech. Although these are characterized by the loss of some features associated traditionally associated with Texas speech, especially the speech of rural Texans, they remain distinct from urban varieties of English in other parts of the country. Such changes are occurring in the speech of Anglos, Hispanics, and African Americans, with the speech of these ethnic groups converging in some respects but diverging in others. Thus, although Texas dialects of English continue to change, there is little chance that varieties identifiable as Texan will likely disappear. Texans are, with rare exception, proud of their identity as Texans, a fact that is reflected in their speech. Despite the fact that certain features of Texas dialects of English are sometimes stigmatized by speakers from other areas as hicky or "incorrect," Texans will continue to use them, partly because people who live in Texas wish to distinguish themselves from other Americans. Language is a particularly appropriate medium for marking this sort of difference. Such uses of language, clearly symbolic in nature, illustrate a basic fact about language and about dialects: Speakers use language to communicate information not only about the world but also about themselves and the groups to which they belong or do not belong. To use a particular dialect is to lay claim to an identity. Hence, even as Americans from other parts of the country and immigrants from around the world continue to move to Texas in large numbers, they become part of the development of dialects in Texas. Newcomers to the state inevitably pick up such traditional Southernisms as y'all. Those who are not already from the South sometimes begin saying fixin' to and might could as the natives do. In this way, language enables Texans, native or naturalized, to identify themselves as such.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Like many of you, I've been watching the news on the Susan Powell case, the continuing saga exploring what went wrong in the investigation into the disappearance of the Utah mother that eventually led to the horrific deaths of her two young sons.
In recent days, much has been released from the police investigation. Like so many, I couldn't believe all Utah investigators had, and, yet they didn't arrest Susan's husband, Josh. How is that possible? Earlier today, Susan's sister accused Utah police of having blood on their hands. Is that fair?
Let's take a look at what Utah police knew, and when. First, they had a young mother missing. Susan disappeared on December 6, 2009, a snowy night in West Valley City. The following morning, Josh Powell told police an improbable story: that he didn't know where his wife was, that she'd simply disappeared. And where was he? In the middle of the storm, he said, because he'd taken his two sons, Charlie, then 4, and Braden, at the time 2, camping. Let's face it; Josh Powell's story never made sense. From the beginning, the red flags were flying.
As America watched the case unfold, we understood and knew there was something seriously wrong in the Powell case, that the pale, bearded young father wasn't telling the truth. Did anyone not believe that Josh Powell was lying? Why would he lie if his wife, as he claimed, was alive? If we'd known what the police saw and learned in the first days and weeks of the investigation, we would have been even more aghast that Josh Powell wasn't handcuffed and charged with Susan's murder. Now that documents are being unsealed, it appears that all along Utah police had the makings of a solid murder case, yet they never made an arrest.
What did they find during the first days of the investigation? In the car on the night Susan disappeared, Josh Powell had a generator, blankets, a gas can, tarps, and a shovel. In the house, fans were pointed at a wet couch, a sofa that appeared to have just been cleaned. Did investigators ask themselves why Josh had his wife's cell phone, one he'd called to leave an alibi? If that wasn't enough, they found Susan's blood on a tile floor.
On the Today Show, Susan's mom, Judy Cox, told Ann Curry, "I feel that now seeing some of the evidence that was given right in the beginning, it surprises me that they didn't arrest him or be able to at least somehow talk with him."
The evidence gathering didn't stop there. In the days that followed, investigators found notes Susan had left behind, notes in which she said she feared her husband, and that if she died "it may not be an accident, even if it looks like one."
Then came the pornography on Josh's computer, including some depicting parent/child sex. This in the wake of discovering that Josh's father, Steven, apparently had a sexual fascination with Susan. On Steven's computer, police alleged that they found child porn. In a locked cabinet, they also discovered images of naked women with Susan's face superimposed on the bodies. In her journal, Susan wrote that she didn't want her father-in-law around her children and referred to him as a "pedophile."
In addition one of the children was talking, and what he said was horrifying. The oldest of the Powell boys, Charlie, said that on the night of Susan's disappearance "his mommy went camping with him and didn't come back," says Chuck Cox, Susan's father. "And then the next thing he tells a primary teacher is that mommy's dead."
Still, Josh Powell wasn't charged with Susan's murder, and he was allowed to have continued visits, albeit supervised, with his sons. We all know how that turned out. Who can forget the video of the Washington State house where Josh was living engulfed in flames, with Josh and his sons inside.
So what happened here? It'll be interesting to find out whose decision it was not to prosecute. In my experience covering murder cases, the most likely scenario when a good case languishes, as this one did, is that there's a reluctant prosecutor at the helm, a district attorney or assistant district attorney who wants a clean case, one tied up neatly with a bow. The problem was undoubtedly that no one had discovered Susan Powell's body. I can imagine the conversations between police and a prosecutor who didn't want to tackle a high-profile murder case with any risk of losing. One who insisted on every bit of evidence: "Okay, this is the deal. Yeah, you've got a lot. But we need the body. You've got to find Susan's remains."
The next point probably went like this: "There's no statute of limitations on murder, so we're not in a hurry. I'm not taking this case to a jury until it's rock solid."

Chiawa Camp
Chiawa Camp is situated on the banks of the Zambezi River, beneath a grove of mahogany trees in the heart of Zambia's game-rich Lower Zambezi National Park. Opened by the Cumings family in 1989, Chiawa was the first camp in the park and is still run by a member of the family, Grant Cumings, who is very hands on. Over the years, the camp has evolved in size and comfort to a high degree of understated luxury.
Continue reading our full report on Chiawa Camp
Our view of Chiawa Camp
In many ways, we think Chiawa is one of the best, and best-run, camps in Africa. The service and food are top-notch, with a team who tend to go out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable – and left us feeling that nothing was too much trouble. The camp manages to be luxurious, while still feeling homely and welcoming, a balance that can be difficult to get right. A good complement of excellent guides and a flexible attitude towards activities means that guests will usually get to do what they want, more or less when they want. We love it.

The calendar says September but the temperatures Tuesday will feel more like mid-July as the thermometer climbs into the 90s. But hang on, the week holds other surprises.
Tuesday is to be so warm, it could turn out to be a record-breaker, smashing Detroit's old high of 94 degrees set back in 1983, said Rachel Kulik, meteorologist at White Lake-based National Weather Service.
"This is from a warm front pushing north, causing warm air to filter behind it," said Kulik. The day will be dry and sunny.
The summer-like temperatures continue Wednesday with highs in the upper 80s. A cold front moves through, bringing a chance of rain in the afternoon or early evening, said Kulik. "Some could be severe," she said.
Temperatures cool to the mid-70s Thursday, and Friday's high will be only in the mid-60s under partly cloudy skies.
"We're back to fall-like weather," said Kulik.
Make up your mind: Weather runs hot, cold during this mixed-up week

Reasonable Anger In Europe Over Ridiculous Copyright Extension
from the your-public-domain-is-being-seized dept
The thing that amazes me about all of this is how the supporters of this law don't realize how much harm they're doing to their own cause. When stories like this come out, there's so much anger directed at the system, the politicians and the law that it makes people respect copyright law a hell of a lot less. If the industry still believes that they just need to "educate" people, the education people are getting is that copyright law is a joke that serves no purpose other than to protect the interests of a few big companies.I�ve written at length about this before so I won�t go over the arguments again here but study after study has shown that longer copyright terms do not protect creativity; they harm it. And yet copyright terms keep growing, in the face of the evidence.
This is part of an ongoing pattern - a more cynical person might even call it a campaign - in which copyright will be extended until it never expires. In 15 years or so, you can expect a renewed campaign to extend the copyright on sound recordings to 95 years, matching the term in the US. After that, we�ll see pressure to extend terms further, so that recording artists receive the same protection - life plus 70 years - as composers and lyricists.
Richmond, nicely, contrasts the laughably false claims by the IFPI that copyright extension benefits artists, by pointing to the upcoming termination rights battle in the US, to show that the major labels and their trade groups (RIAA/IFPI) clearly do not have the artists' best interests in mind, and it's ridiculous for them to pretend they do:
It�s expected, according to Rolling Stone, that the record labels will argue that these artists were �work for hire� and therefore not entitled to their rights back. Labels like to talk about the rights of artists until the artists� interests conflict with their own. How will the IFPI spin this argument? We�ll see soon enough.The real shame is that the EU politicians, who approved this, will never actually have to answer for their seizure of the public domain, and for the fact that they reneged on a deal which the public made with content creators with no compensation. Those who voted for copyright extension -- in the face of widespread evidence that it does nothing to help artists and plenty to hold back culture -- should be seriously ashamed. They've sold out the public, who they're supposed to represent.
