To define the results of searching a string for an occurrence of another substring the sort FindResult is introduced. This sort consists of the natural numbers, returned as the index in the string where a found substring begins (string indexing begins with 0), and a special constant notFound , returned if no occurrence is found.
The operators ascii and char convert between characters and ASCII codes.

Twist Bioscience, a company accelerating science and innovation through rapid, high-quality DNA synthesis, today announced that, working with Microsoft and University of Washington researchers, they have successfully stored archival-quality audio recordings of two important music performances from the archives of the world-renowned Montreux Jazz Festival.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:
Mens Eddy Baseball Cap Grey Charcoal HTR One Size Manufacturer Size OS Tommy Hilfiger QTQRJWLMHq
These selections are encoded and stored in nature's preferred storage medium, DNA, for the first time. These tiny specks of DNA will preserve a part of UNESCO's Memory of the World Archive, where valuable cultural heritage collections are recorded. This is the first time DNA has been used as a long-term archival-quality storage medium.
Quincy Jones, world-renowned Entertainment Executive, Music Composer and Arranger, Musician and Music Producer said, "With advancements in nanotechnology, I believe we can expect to see people living prolonged lives, and with that, we can also expect to see more developments in the enhancement of how we live. For me, life is all about learning where you came from in order to get where you want to go, but in order to do so, you need access to history! And with the unreliability of how archives are often stored, I sometimes worry that our future generations will be left without such access...So, it absolutely makes my soul smile to know that EPFL, Twist Bioscience and others are coming together to preserve the beauty and history of the Montreux Jazz Festival for our future generations, on DNA!...I've been a part of this festival for decades and it truly is a magnificent representation of what happens when different cultures unite for the sake of music. Absolute magic. And I'm proud to know that the memory of this special place will never be lost."
This paper presents an overview of the nuclear accident that occurred at the Mayak Production Association (PA) in the Russian Federation on 29 September 1957, often referred to as 'Kyshtym Accident', when 20 MCi (740 PBq) of radionuclides were released by a chemical explosion in a radioactive waste storage tank. 2 MCi (74 PBq) spread beyond the Mayak PA site to form the East Urals Radioactive Trace (EURT). The paper describes the accident and gives brief characteristics of the efficacy of the implemented protective measures that made it possible to considerably reduce doses to the exposed population. The paper also provides retrospective dosimetry estimates for the members of the EURT Cohort (EURTC) which comprises approximately 21 400 people. During the first two years after the accident a decrease in the group average leukocyte (mainly due to neutrophils and lymphocytes) and thrombocyte count was observed in the population. At later dates an increased excess relative risk of solid cancer incidence and mortality was found in the EURTC.

During the International Conference on Radiation Protection in Medicine held in Bonn in 2012, several areas for improvement were identified, including specific actions related with justification, optimization, role of manufacturers, radiation protection education and training, strategic research, data collection on medical and occupational exposures, prevention of incidents and accidents, radiation safety culture, risk-benefit dialogue and implementation of the radiation safety standards. The outcomes of the Bonn Conference were summarized in the so-called 'Bonn Call for Action', identifying 10 priority actions to enhance RP in medicine. Trying to analyse the progress in the implementation of this 'Call for Action' in the Ibero-American region, several international organizations organized the 'Ibero-American Conference on Radiation Protection in Medicine' (Conferencia Iberoamericana sobre Protección Radiológica en Medicina, CIPRaM) held in Madrid, in October 2016. CIPRaM was structured in eight thematic sessions dealing with: diagnostic and dental radiology, image guided interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, health authorities and radiation protection regulators, professional associations of technologists and nurses, professional associations of medical physicists and radiation protection experts, and universities and researchers in radiation protection in medicine. This paper summarizes the main results of that Conference based on the consensus achieved about main problems, solutions, and indicators to evaluate the implementation of the proposed solutions.

A plea deal involving two rape charges did not add prison time to the sentence of Steven Bubenchik. The Massillon man was recently sentenced to 48 years in prison on charges stemming from gunshots he fired at police.
A plea deal dropped one rape charge and reduced another to sexual imposition for Steven P. Bubenchik on Monday in Stark County Common Pleas Court.
Bubenchik was recently sentenced to 48 years in prison for charges related to shooting at Massillon police officers in August.
A jury found him guilty Dec. 12 of five of seven counts, including attempted murder and three counts of felonious assault and accompanying firearm specifications. He was acquitted of two attempted murder charges related to the shooting.
Massillon police responded to his Geiger Avenue SW home Aug. 8 after his estranged wife called saying her husband was suicidal.
During trial testimony, Bubenchik claimed he did not know police officers had entered his home when he fired what he described as a warning shot at an intruder from the top of his stairs. He continued to shoot at police from an upstairs window. Police did not fire a shot in return.
The two rape charges originally were filed with the other counts because the rape allegations came to light the day Bubenchik shot at police, said Lisa Turoso, an assistant prosecutor.
However, the rape charges were handled separately in court at the request of the defense.
Bubenchik, 40, was accused of sexually assaulting two young children. However, the Stark County prosecutor's office agreed to the lesser charge of sexual imposition — a third-degree misdemeanor — so the children would not have to testify at a trial, Turoso said.
The charge involves unwanted sexual contact that occurred both in Massillon and Canton in 2012 and 2013, Turoso said.
The mother of the children was in support of the plea agreement, according to the prosecutor's office. Another factor was that Bubenchik could spend the rest of his life in prison on the charges related to shooting at police, Turoso said.
Judge John Haas sentenced Bubenchik to 60 days in jail on the sexual imposition charge; it will run concurrently with the prison term. If released from prison, Bubenchik would have to register as a sexual offender annually for 15 years.
Haas handled the case Monday because Judge Taryn Heath was off sick. Heath told the defense and prosecution she was in support of the plea deal via a phone conference.
During the court hearing, Bubenchik answered questions softly, with Haas at one point asking him to speak louder.
The defendant did not make a statement in court. No relatives of Bubenchik or the victims attended the hearing.
Barry Wakser, of the Stark County public defender's office, represented Bubenchik. He declined comment following Monday's hearing.

Libya's interim government wants an official explanation for this weekend's US raid in Tripoli — which ended with suspected al-Qaeda operative Abu Anas al-Liby in US custody.
The BBC's Rana Jawad interviewed al-Liby's family about the capture. Al-Liby's son says Libyans were involved in the raid outside his home.
"As soon as [my father] parked, at least ten men came out of two of the cars," he said. "Some were masked. Some were unmasked and their features were Libyan and they spoke in a Libyan dialect. They drugged him, smashed the car window, dragged him out and put him in a white Mercedes. He was kidnapped."
Libya's interim government maintains it was in the dark about the whole raid.
If that's true, then who were the Libyans helping the US? And if Libya was unaware of the raid, what does that say about the effectiveness of the Libyan interim government?
The first question remains unanswered. But the raid itself could imply an answer to the second: the US doesn't think much of the Libyan interim government.
Jawad says she was surprised many Libyans didn't even know who Abu Anas al-Liby was. Nor, she says, were they familiar with the two American embassy bombings he's accused of orchestrating in East Africa in 1998.
But once told, Jawad said, many understood why the US government wanted to go after the man. Still, they told Jawad the US should have asked for permission from their government before conducting the military operation.
"Many Libyans feel it's a question of sovereignty," she said.
Secretary of State John Kerry defended the operation. Speaking in Indonesia, Kerry called al-Liby "a key al -Qaeda figure," and a "legal and legitimate target for the US military."
While Libyans don't necessarily disagree with that, they don't think it's right the US came in apparently unannounced.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Should Mitt Romney change the tone Thursday night in his acceptance speech and "become popular," the closely fought race for the presidency could "break just like 1980," Ari Fleischer told reporters here at a morning event.
The former White House press secretary for George W. Bush said that history shows that challengers running against an incumbent president face a long slog. Yet after withering waves of ads attacking Romney, the polls show him neck-and-neck with President Barack Obama.
Fleischer and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell said Obama has relied on a "small-ball" strategy because, they argued, his ideas had failed. But while Romney has been more successful, they said, in communicating his economic ideas, so far the attacks have kept him down.

Nerdy guys aren't guaranteed to get laid by the hot chick as long as we work hard. There isn't a team of writers or a studio audience pulling for us to triumph by getting the girl. (Read the sequel:
Lace Off Shoulder Midi Dress Red Asos Petite k7PIoD
I was going to write about The Big Bang Theory —why, as a nerdy viewer, I sometimes like it and sometimes have a problem with it, why I think there's a backlash against it. Then some maniac shot up a sorority house in Santa Barbara and posted a manifesto proclaiming he did it for revenge against women for denying him sex. And the weekend just generally went to hell.
So now my plans have changed. With apologies to Big Bang Theory fans , this is all I want to say about The Big Bang Theory: When the pilot aired, it was 2007 and "nerd culture" and "geek chic" were on everyone's lips, and yet still the basic premise of "the sitcom for nerds" was, once again, awkward but lovable nerd has huge unreciprocated crush on hot non-nerdy popular girl (and also has an annoying roommate).
This annoys me. This is a problem.
Because, let's be honest, this device is old. We have seen it over and over again. Steve Urkel. Screech. Skippy on Family Ties. Niles on Frasier.
We (male) nerds grow up force-fed this script. Lusting after women "out of our league" was what we did. And those unattainable hot girls would always inevitably reject us because they didn't understand our intellectual interest in science fiction and comic books and would instead date asshole jocks. This was inevitable, and our only hope was to be unyieldingly persistent until we "earned" a chance with these women by "being there" for them until they saw the error of their ways. (The thought of just looking for women who shared our interests was a foreign one, since it took a while for the media to decide female geeks existed. The Big Bang Theory didn't add Amy and Bernadette to its main cast until Season 4, in 2010.)
This is, to put it mildly, a problematic attitude to grow up with. Fixating on a woman from afar and then refusing to give up when she acts like she's not interested is, generally, something that ends badly for everyone involved. But it's a narrative that nerds and nerd media kept repeating.
I'm not breaking new ground by saying this. It's been said very well and and again.
And I'm not condemning guys who get frustrated, or who have unrequited crushes. And I'm not condemning any of these shows or movies.
We use the "minimal" scaling model ( Figure 1b ) when the reference state refers to a low, precautionary level, as found in marine management of small pelagic fish [29] : (3) When scaling the indicator for the minimal model, we assume that a deteriorated state for the indicator corresponds to a decrease below the reference level, and that any value above this reference level corresponds to an optimal situation.
We use the "maximal" scaling model ( Figure 1c ) when the reference state refers to a maximal value above which detrimental effects on ecosystems are observed, such as a maximal limit for the density of a proliferating species, or community, of phytoplankton or jelly-fish: (4) Once the set of scaled indicators is calculated, it can be averaged across any of its axes i , j , k , or t , or any combination of axes. For example, an averaged value for all indicators, all spatial units, and all major ecosystems over time can be expressed as: (5) where is a documented value for the indicator i in ecosystem j in spatial unit k and date t , and otherwise. corresponds to a set of n simulated values, at date t . The final NI value can be expressed as the median of the simulated values, together with 95% confidence intervals around the median expressed as 2.5% and 97.5% quantiles. The set of simulated NI values allows for statistical testing by calculating p -values; for example, when comparing the index for two dates t 1 and t 2 , .
In previous implementations, no particular weights were applied to any of the i , j , or k axes. All calculations were made under a "complete equivalence" assumption, i.e., no locality, no major ecosystem, and no indicator was considered more important than another. This assumption is clearly open to criticism. If all components of biodiversity were equally studied, all indicators could be documented at all dates and spatial locations and, if all spatial locations were equally representative, there would be no need for weights. However, no matter how much care is taken when building the indicator set, discrepancies are likely to occur because not all taxa, functional groups, or geographical areas can be studied to the same degree [14] , [20] , [30] . Taxa such as fish, birds, and mammals are better documented than others, either because they attract more public interest or because study models are readily accessible. These potential discrepancies between spatial units or indicator representativeness meant it was necessary to introduce weights [14] . Weights can be defined across the indicator axis i , the major ecosystem axis j , and the spatial unit axis k . Introducing any set of weights W ijkt within the NI formula is straightforward: (6) where the condition for any date t , and if indicator i has not been documented for the major ecosystem j in spatial unit k on date t .Malachi Kirby Nicole Kidman Elle Fanning
Scottish director Michael Caton-Jones, who cast a 15-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio in 1993's This Boy's Life, put Wright in his 2015 film Urban Hymn , playing an angry young woman with a gift for song. That performance put Wright on the radar for Spielberg and Marvel—but first, she took a turn on the West End in Eclipsed, a play about Liberian rebel soldiers written by none other than her future Black Panther co-star Danai Gurira. When the play moved to Broadway, Wright's role was played by yet another future Wakandan, Lupita Nyong'o.Michael Caton-Jones, Leonardo DiCaprio
Wright calls this a "triangular, crazy connection," but it also says something about the often limited opportunities for actresses of color unwilling to settle for stereotypical roles. Black Panther —with its myriad of multifaceted characters—could go a long way toward burying those stereotypes once and for all. "Everybody else has three-dimensional characters," Wright points out. "Leonardo DiCaprio's characters are all well-rounded and sort of ultra-cool, you know?"
And like her Black Panther co-star Michael B. Jordan, who is producing and starring in an upcoming adaptation of Fahrenheit 451, Wright knows she needs to take things into her own hands. "I have to also get into producing if I want to see these stories being made. . . . Let's venture out and do projects with people of different ethnicities. Not just black, but also Asian actors and Asian superhero films. Just an equality across the board."Michael B. Jordan,
Wright say she's already eager to prove she can do even more; she name checks Big Little Lies as the kind of series she'd do to surprise people once again. But for now, she's created Shuri, who is already well on her way to being some other actor's Akeelah (without the bee). After a packed advance screening of Black Panther in Los Angeles last week, two young boys went bounding ahead of the crowd leaping for joy and punching the warm night air. They weren't pretending to be Black Panther, or even another Wakandan warrior. They were pretending to be Shuri.

Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel is sure to win this year's Formula One title and Ferrari's focus is now on finishing ahead of Mercedes in the constructors' championship, Fernando Alonso said on Saturday.
Vettel enjoys a 77 point lead over the Spaniard and can secure his
fourth successive championship if he wins the Japanese Grand Prix on
Sunday and Alonso fails to finish in the top eight.
While Vettel qualified on the front row on Saturday, Alonso will start in eighth place.
"If Sebastian doesn't win the championship here, he will win in
India or in Abu Dhabi," said the Ferrari driver, referring to the next
two races of the four remaining after Japan.
"It's not our more important point of the weekend to be honest. We
will not race, try to finish in the first eight to try to keep alive the
championship," he continued.
"We will race, try to score as many points as possible and try to
finish in front of the Mercedes. That is a very important goal for us.
If we can keep the championship open until India it will be OK, but it
will not change too much for us."
Ferrari are second overall and one point ahead of Mercedes in the
constructors' standings with five races remaining. Red Bull are 118
points clear in the constructors'.
Both the Mercedes drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg,
qualified ahead of the Ferraris at Suzuka with the Briton third on the
grid and the German sixth.
Vettel starts alongside Australian team mate Mark Webber, on pole
for the first time in a year, and can be expected to run away with the
race if his misbehaving KERS energy recovery system does not let him
"The race is about trying to beat the Ferraris and also the
Lotuses," Hamilton agreed. "We want to beat both those teams. The Red
Bulls, we're not really in their league at the moment."
"When you start the race, your mind's set on winning but if those
two Red Bulls get into the first corner first and second, they'll be
gone... they've got so much time in their pockets."
Alonso said his qualifying had been much as expected, with Ferrari clearly off the pace, although there was hope for the race.
"We are not in a position to fight with anyone," he said. "We have
some problems in terms of pace and performance that is not going to
change now in the remaining races because we will put zero new parts in.
"It is not frustrating any more to be honest," he added. "It is four
years that we are one second behind Red Bull (on Saturday).
"We were seventh in Korea, we didn't have the pace. We arrived here
five days later and we didn't expect any miracle. We expected to be
eight tenths or one second behind Red Bull and we are eight tenths."

A man was shot and killed this morning in front of a San Bernardino home where a party was taking place.
Leenathan Lamont Smith, 32, of San Bernardino, died at the scene in the 2100 block of North Mount Vernon Avenue, said San Bernardino police Lt. Mike Madden.
Police said Smith was standing in front of the home arguing with another man at 3:46 a.m. when a motorist pulled up to them.
"A male got out of the vehicle and fired rounds at the victim, striking and killing him at the scene," Madden said.
The shooter and the man that Smith had been arguing with got into the car and drove away.
Police did not release a description of the car or the two men who fled.

Patricia Barber made it all the way through the University of Iowa's music program, but came up just short of earning the bachelor's degree.
Patricia Barber made it all the way through the University of Iowa's music program, but came up just short of earning the bachelor's degree.
"I skipped the jury, the last senior jury," Barber said of the final required element. "It's like getting a master's but missing the dissertation. I got a degree in psychology, but I'm just a performance short of a music major. I skipped it because of stage fright. It was a Bach, five-part fugue and I just couldn't do it. I freaked out."
More than 20 years later, Barber, 57, still suffers stage fright, but she's more than passed the test as an accomplished performer.
Having just released her 15th album, "Smash," she'll bring the Patricia Barber Quartet - with John Kregor on guitar, Patrick Mulcahy on bass, and Jon Deitemyer on drums - to the Tillie Lewis Theatre on Wednesday to open the Delta Jazz Series. Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. show are $15.
The show will include tracks from "Smash," and previous work as well as American standards.
"I just pretty much play what I feel like doing," Barber said in a phone interview from her Chicago home. "I'm very happy with these compositions and happy with the way the band is playing them, so there'll be a lot of material from 'Smash.' "
The album has been hailed by critics for its compelling lyrics and arrangements, and for the power of Barber's "famously voluptuous voice."
"Be it love, loss or satire, no one among active jazz performers melds notes and words with the powerful fragility, the delicate incision, the brazen honesty of Patricia Barber. As a pianist and vocalist, she is a force to be reckoned with. As a songwriter, she is pure devastation," wrote Jazz Police.
"I have been told there's a streak of melancholy on the record," Barber said. "Some of the songs are funny, but there is sadness, because when I started writing the music, I had lost five important people in my life within a year and a half. It was devastating."
Among them was her beloved mother, who had wanted her musically inclined daughter to travel a more secure path than that of a musician.
"My mother was afraid for me," Barber said. "It's an insecure lifestyle. She wanted me to be a music teacher. I have done that, and am that as well. I can do both, but she wanted me to be a full-time teacher. When I told her I was going to be a professional jazz musician full time, she cried. But she was my biggest fan."
She also was the last to realize her daughter's destiny.
"It's what I always wanted to be since I was a kid. I was one of those lucky ones who always knew what I wanted to do," Barber said.
"My father had been a jazz musician before he was a pharmacist later in life. I inherited that legacy, that genetic gift."
Her father, Floyd "Shim" Barber, was a saxophonist who had worked with the Glenn Miller Orchestra.
He also played the piano and taught his daughter how to play when she was 4. At 6 she began lessons with the local piano teacher and hasn't stopped playing since.
Her musical inspirations include Motown artists Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson, Cole Porter, and the team of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Her long-time friends still tease her about her lack of interest in The Beatles or the Rolling Stones.
"I do like (The Beatles) compositions," she said. "I just don't like to listen to them."
She can be seen singing the John Lennon-Paul McCartney song "Norwegian Wood" in a YouTube video that has drawn more than 45,000 hits.
"The emotional breadth of her arrangement is just amazing," said Brian Kendrick, who teaches music at San Joaquin Delta College and has his own band. "It's starts as a Celtic ball and then stars rocking like Jimi Hendrixland."
Stunning as the performance is, Barber's real love of her craft comes without an audience.
"The creation of it is my favorite part," Barber said, "whether it's the poetry or the harmony. That's special to me, creating rich harmonies, voice movement and the words, the poetry."
She tries out her compositions on her dogs, an Airedale terrier and another of unknown composition.
"My dogs are a wonderful audience," Barber said. "They like it all."
The nerves that kept Barber from that final college performance have never left. She gets them every time she performs, whether at her regular appearances at the Green Mill, a legendary Chicago jazz spot built in 1907, at jazz festivals or around the country.
She puts them aside, though, because she has something special to share, a legacy handed down from her father, and expanded by her own talents, which "Smash" demonstrates are ever growing.
"It sounds like Patricia Barber is moving forward," she said of the album. "It sounds like me, like I've been working."

Memory Management : character arrays and = operator
Q. In terms of Memory Management, What error would you have with the following code?
Answer.Code:class String { public: String(const char right[]); String& operator= (const String& right); int length() const; private: char* buffer; int len; }; int String::lenght() const {return len;} String::String(const char right[]) { len = 0; while (right[len] != '\0') len++; buffer = new char[len+1]; for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) buffer[i] = right[i]; buffer[len] = '\0'; } String& String::operator= (const String& right) { int n = right.length(); for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++) buffer[i] = right.buffer[i]; return *this; }
I have no clue... Could you help me?
The array size seems okay... new operator...
is it because of the dangling pointer because there is no delete operator?
Please let me know.

For library workers across the country, it is a communications quandary that comes through the turnstiles each day: how, as communities and neighborhoods continue to diversify, to assist patrons who speak little or no English.
For librarians in Illinois' Lincoln Trail Libraries System and beyond, the solution is now just a magenta placard or a phone call away. This, thanks to a pioneering new program that is putting patrons in touch with people who know their language best and can connect them to the information they need.
One part concierge desk, to two parts volunteer United Nations, Lincoln Trail's PolyTalk program, funded by the Illinois State Library through IMLS's Grants to State Library Administrative Agencies program, is the first of its kind to amass a network of more than 100 interpreters on call any time a library worker needs an extra hand – or voice.
PolyTalk began as an idea three years ago, when longtime Lincoln Trail employee Joe Sciacca noticed something in his travels that troubled him: when visiting libraries abroad, he often had difficulty finding a librarian who could speak English.
Similar problems abounded in American libraries, where multi-lingual speakers made for a tough find – a particular challenge in Illinois, where one in five residents speaks a language other than English at home, and the state's Latino, Asian, and eastern European communities are its fastest growing.
"There are some people who would like to ask questions, but if you have a mother who would like to find picture books for her children but doesn't know English, she doesn't think about going to the library to ask," Sciacca says, adding that many come from countries where libraries are not public, but instead luxuries for the wealthy and intellectual classes. "If the linguistically challenged aren't getting the library service they deserve, that's not right. We wanted to do something about that."
Sciacca first looked into hiring a commercial interpreter service for the Lincoln Trail system as a possible fix, but that proved too expensive. Instead, he looked within and outward to the community. Together with colleagues, he began posting announcements in local libraries, at the Mortenson Center for International Library Programs at nearby University of Illinois, and with international student organizations.
"It proved a lot easier than we thought to find people willing to share their language skills," says Michelle Ralston, project coordinator for PolyTalk.
Within a short period, library officials had recruited a volunteer base of more than 75 interpreters, a number that has now shot north of 100, speaking some 40 languages. While this was happening, the Lincoln Trail PolyTalk team went to work putting together what is now known as the PolyTalk Language Kit: a series of laminated cards and folders that enable staffers to engage a patron who doesn't speak English, determine his or her language, and get the help he or she needs.
Here's how it works. When a patron who doesn't speak English walks into the library and seeks help, he is directed to a desk where a PolyTalk-trained employee (there are now more than 300 of them throughout the state) initiates a conversation. Using a magenta placard listing 30 languages, the worker asks the patron to point out his native tongue. From there, the employee is able to pull out a series of cards from the toolkit with basic questions and answers, as well as an information folder about the library and the services available. If that doesn't work, the employee then places an orange card on the counter explaining that an interpreter is being found by phone.
When Sciacca and colleagues took to building their interpreter database, they asked people to apply over the Internet, entering their names, phone numbers and times of availability, even down to 15-minute increments. Today, a librarian is able to enter the language being sought into a computer and find any number of speakers available at that given time – a list that comprises everyone from library employees, to students, to in one case, a Turkish couple who supply publicity materials to the library.
"What I want these patrons to walk away with is the notion that the library is for them too," Sciacca says. "There shouldn't be a barrier there just because their language is different. I want them to know that libraries care about that, that we're all about inclusion."
That principle is now in practice in more than 165 libraries across Illinois, many of them in small, rural, once-homogenous communities, transformed by an influx of migrant workers. In Arcola, for instance, one of the nation's largest suppliers of corn husk broom bristles, library workers have seen their town's demographics skew from nearly all-white 20 years ago, to 20 percent Hispanic in just a few short years. It is a source of what Sciacca and Ralston consider many PolyTalk success stories.
"It's a good example of how communities change and how libraries can change to better serve them," he says.
When an elderly man walked into the Ela Area Public Library speaking only Polish, and gesturing at his shoe with a piece of fabric and a metal ring he was holding, librarian Jennifer Groth was able to immediate track down an interpreter by phone. The man's query: he was restoring his old military uniform and looking for a local shoe repair shop. Groth was able to direct the patron, and then call the shoe repair shop to let them know he was coming.
"I just want them to walk out of the library feeling like they've been served," says Lincoln Trail's executive director Jan Ison. "I realize libraries across the globe are different, and that people have different perceptions based on their experience in their home countries. But we want them to understand that libraries in this country are safe places, where they can come not just for a book, but also for community information."
As for how many patrons have taken advantage of PolyTalk thus far, that is hard to say, Sciacca concedes. Marketing for the program has been decidedly word-of-mouth, and libraries haven't yet developed a reporting system to log each time they use the toolkit or call an interpreter.
"This isn't necessarily a service they are going to need everyday," Ralston says. "But when they do, there is nothing else to replace it."
It is a service that could be offered to a great many more people in the coming years. In addition to the 400,000 patrons in the Lincoln Trail system, and the public and school libraries statewide who've adopted it, PolyTalk could soon make its way into at least four other states. So far, Ison says her system is in talks with officials in Connecticut, Nebraska, Georgia, and Ohio about joining the PolyTalk network, themselves. Not only would it heighten the program's exposure, she says, it could also dramatically expand the system's corps of volunteer interpreters. Library officials concede they're thin in some languages (Arabic among them), and given the numbers, there isn't always an interpreter available at the time one is needed.
"There are 100 different languages spoken in the state of Illinois alone," Ison says. "Our goal would be to get a volunteer in every one of those. But that's a long ways off. In the meantime, we just want to continue to get more and more people involved, to see the kits used in as many different ways as possible…and to see people getting the information they need."
Sciacca agrees.
"This is a massive volunteer project, and one of our goals is to make sure that when the library calls, someone is available," he says. "A lot of this is a public relations job; that no matter how rural some communities think they are, we are making the point that this is for everyone."
Word is getting out – and not just among communities or the four states looking to adopt PolyTalk. Last year, PolyTalk earned national recognition, as one of six programs nationwide to win a Building Better Communities award from global library technology giant SirsiDynix. The award recognizes libraries for creative and enterprising uses of technology to improve their user technologies.
Ralston sees more big things in the future, as even more states look to add and tap into PolyTalk's interpreter database. There's no reason, she says, that other states should have to start from scratch, when there's already something substantial in place.
"This isn't such an outside-the-box idea," Ralston says. "It's just that within our niche, we figured out a way to put together on a larger scale something that just couldn't be done locally. I kind of feel like we're the Verizon network in that we just keep growing, except we're the PolyTalk network."

Detroit manager Jim Leyland arrived at the Tigers' training camp Monday in Lakeland, Fla., exactly 50 years after he first showed up there as a pencil-thin 18-year-old prospect.
If you were expecting sepia-tinged memories about a kid from Ohio basking in the sunshine and seeing his dream laid out in front of him, well, you don't know Leyland. Or at least not well enough.
"I remember going over to watch the big-league guys as soon as I got there and saw the caliber of play. And shortly after that, I had a good idea I wasn't going to make it – not as a ballplayer, anyway," he recalled during a telephone interview.
He was right. Leyland's first paycheck was for $125, "and that was for two weeks," he chuckled. He went on to become, in his own words, "a Double-A backup, flunky catcher" who never hit better than .243.
"I hung around for seven years in the minors and [the Tigers organization] decided the rest for me. First, they made me a player-coach and then one of the fellas who was supposed to manage the rookie league team wandered off somewhere, so they said, 'Why don't you give it a try?' That was 1971," he added. "So things worked out pretty good.'
Leyland is so understated it's easy to get the impression that his career and all that success – almost 1,700 wins, three manager of the year awards, a World Series title and runner-up finish in 2012 – were little more than a string of happy accidents. In truth, for most of his career, Leyland was rarely in the right place at the right time long enough for lightning to strike.
He spent his first 11 seasons managing in five different towns at different levels of the minors, occasionally stuck with teams so bad that a half-dozen errors and 10 walks a game were routine. He endured eating in truck stops and being stranded on two-lane highways alongside buses with flat tires at 4 o'clock in the morning. When Leyland finally made it to the major leagues in 1982, with an assist from close pal and then-White Sox manager Tony La Russa, it was as a third-base coach.
"It didn't take long to see just how good he was, but I knew a little about that when we got him," La Russa said. "I managed against Jim the first time in Triple-A in 1979, and we did it a lot more than I wanted to after that. He's got a real passion for competing."
Turns out Leyland has a passion for more than just competing, though the rest of us rarely see it. La Russa laughed out loud when told how the only story Leyland recounted about his first visit to Lakeland was realizing he wasn't a good enough ballplayer to carve out a living for long.
"That's perfect," said La Russa, who retired after the 2011 season. "Jim's a funny guy, engaging and interesting and fun to be around – when it's just coaches and players. He likes to sing, too, but almost nobody knows it, because he takes being the leader of the team seriously, at least when he thinks it's time to compete. ... So not being nostalgic, not wanting to sound distracted, that's Jim, too. It just means he's already in compete mode."
Those who don't know Leyland as well should wish he cut himself more slack. He often comes off as a baseball lifer buffeted by a series of headwinds who loves the game a lot more than it loved him back.
Leyland got his first big-league managing job in Pittsburgh and lost the NL championship series three years in a row. Tougher still was hanging on after the cost-conscious Pirates' organization effectively gave up, letting guys like Bobby Bonilla and Barry Bonds slip away, before they started cutting to the bone. Leyland eventually migrated to Miami, where he hoisted the World Series trophy and gave a brief emotional speech.
"This is for all the minor league managers, the guys in the instructional leagues. So don't give up."
But the very next season, the Marlins did, conducting a fire sale that left Leyland shaking his head and eventually fleeing to the Colorado Rockies. After a season there, convinced he'd let himself, his ballplayers and the organization down, Leyland walked away from the game.
"We've talked a lot over the years and believe me, he left money on the table there," La Russa said. "But every year, Jim and I would have the same discussion about managing, with the same questions: Are you fired up to do the job? Is the club responding to your leadership? Do you have the confidence of the front office and ownership? I'm pretty sure Jim didn't sign up for this year until he checked his gut."
General manager Dave Dombrowski, who met La Russa and Leyland when he was a young front-office assistant in Chicago three decades ago, is certain all the stars are aligned. He knows few managers could get over the way Detroit was clobbered by San Francisco in the series last year and that none would come back any hungrier.
"If most of what you know about Jim is seeing him talking after games – giving short, gruff answers – you wouldn't know how much baseball means to him," said Dombrowski, who first met Leyland when he was a young front-office assistant with the White Sox. "He's seen just about everything and he still loves everything about it. He just doesn't always come across that way."
And that's the only shame. To make ends meet at various times, Leyland stamped out windshields at a General Motors plant, delivered mail and hauled construction materials around. But even now that he's flush and in control of one of a handful of serious contenders, he isn't about to loosen up.
"I never thought all those days ago about making it or not making it," Leyland said. "I'm just happy they kept me around long enough to find a way I could stick."

A woman in a small Texas town is alleging that police who pulled her over for a traffic ticket coerced her into making undercover drug buys to avoid paying the traffic fine, and threatened to reveal her role when she tried to back out of the arrangement.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous because she fears retribution from dealers, was pulled over for making an illegal lane change in the town Friendswood on Aug. 22, her attorney Dane Johnson told ABC News.
The officer who pulled her over found a glass pipe and the prescription medication Suboxone, which Johnson says she has a prescription for. She was given tickets for an out of date registration and for not having proof of insurance with her, records show.
She was then arrested, taken to the police station and strip searched, her attorney alleges.
"The police seemed to think she was a drug dealer, and threatened to call Child Protective Services if she didn't cooperate," Johnson said. "This is a single mother with no criminal record, and they wouldn't let her call anyone to go look after her child for the four hours she was at the station."
While being held police offered her a deal: perform three controlled drug buys instead of paying the fines, the lawyer said. Her attorney told ABC News she had never bought drugs before, but agreed to do it to get out of the citations.
"I had two choices. They were either going to arrest me, or I could agree to do some controlled buys," she told ABC affiliate KTRK. Read More

The Bayfield High School boys basketball team caught a cold in its opening scrimmage against the Durango junior varsity team Tuesday night at Durango High School.
The Wolverines, who struggled offensively, lost 46-34 in the exhibition that will not count on the official record for BHS.
We had nothing going with our offense, Bayfield head coach Bill Hesford said. We had a really hard time getting established on offense.
The Wolverines trailed by two at halftime before going cold in the second half.
The guys played really hard, but we really need to execute a lot better, Hesford said. We need to take care of the basketball.
Sophomore Preston Hardy scored nine points and had 10 rebounds in the Tuesday night scrimmage.
Senior Tyler Kerr also scored nine points for BHS. He added seven rebounds.
Joey Webb and Eirik Kins added six each for the Wolverines.
The Bayfield boys officially will start their season with a doubleheader Friday at the Cortez Tournament. The Wolverines will play Miyamura of Gallup, N.M., at 4:30 p.m. They will take on host Montezuma-Cortez at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Cortez.

During a recent spate of illness (whaddya mean you didn't notice my absence??!) I watched A LOT of Arrested Development and something struck me, sartorially.
Michael Cera who plays George Michael in the show appears in an array of eye-wateringly good/bad (I haven't made my mind up yet) outfits mainly composed of chinos, faded '80s patterned shirts, webbing and leather belts and deck shoes. It's a look which is incredibly self-effacing but like a Magic Eye if you stare long enough it begins to pop out and assault you with its complexity.

2 SS. Rose and Clement parishioners ordained Deacons
SS. Rose and Clement Church was filled with joyful parishioners at the 10:30 Mass Sunday morning, as two longtime members of the parish served their first Mass as deacons after being ordained the day before at the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul in Providence.
A reception in the church basement followed Sunday's Mass, with people patiently waiting in long lines to congratulate Deacons John Fulton and Kenneth Andrade.
"I'm filled with emotion," said Deacon Andrade, who has been assigned to serve at SS. Rose and Clement. "I'm thankful for the support."
Andrade said he is "overwhelmed" that he will continue his religious journey at SS. Rose and Clement because he has been a member of St. Rose of Lima Church for 55 years, and continued to follow the church after the merge with St. Clement in 1997. He made all of his sacraments through the church, beginning with First Holy Communion when he was in second grade, and he and his wife Helen have been regularly attending Mass together since they were married 32 years ago.
Fulton, who has been a parishioner since 1990, will soon head to St. Kevin Church to serve. For him, Sunday's Mass wasn't just his first as deacon; it was one of his last at SS. Rose and Clement.
"One of the things I was thinking was, 'I'm not going to be here. I'm going to be leaving my parish family,'" Fulton said. "So, it felt like a goodbye mass. I'm still wrapping my head around it."
Nevertheless, he's looking forward to meeting people at St. Kevin Parish, and is grateful to his SS. Rose and Clement friends for their encouragement. Anna, his wife of 31 years, said she's sure she'll continue to frequent SS. Rose and Clement, as she often serves as a Eucharistic Minister.
"We will still be part of this parish, but we will miss it," she said. Of her husband's first Mass as deacon, she said, "It was wonderful. I cried through the whole thing."
Helen was also moved to tears a few times during the Mass. She became emotional when Rev. Father Edward Wilson Jr., the parish pastor, instructed Deacon Andrade to bless a gift from the parish for Helen, a gorgeous silver necklace featuring the Blessed Mother, before presenting it to her. He did the same with Deacon Fulton and Anna.
"I'll treasure it, I really will," Helen said of the necklace, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'm extremely proud of my husband."
During Mass, Fr. Wilson reminded the congregation that deacons are all married men, and that they need the support of their wives through their religious journeys. The necklaces, he said, are tokens of their appreciation for being wonderful partners. Additionally, Fr. Wilson told the congregation that the vestments the deacons wore were gifts from the parish, another sign of their thanks.
Also at Mass, Deacon Noel Edsall, who has been at SS. Rose and Clement for more than 15 years, gave the homily. In his time with the church, he said many parishioners have asked him what a deacon's responsibilities are.
In his homily, he explained that priests are deacons before they are priests, and that deacons are ordained in a lifelong bond with God that is as strong as a priest's relationship with God.
"In this way, they are icons, they are images of Jesus Christ," Deacon Edsall said. "They are to serve, and not to be served."
He also noted that deacons are permitted do many things priests do, such as benediction, officiate weddings, funerals and lead communion services. But they do not celebrate a Mass, meaning they are not responsible for the consecration of the Lord to the Eucharist. They also cannot anoint the sick, or give absolutions to confessions.
Deacon Edsall said it's the deacon's right and responsibility to read the Gospel during every Eucharistic liturgy he attends, whether the Bishop or Pope are there or not. No matter what, the deacon present is the proper reader.
Keeping with the requirement, Fulton read the Gospel, as well as the Prayers of the Faithful. Andrade retrieved the Eucharist from the tabernacle and gave the final blessing.
Deacon Edsall stressed the importance of preaching the word of God not only on the altar, but in everyday life.
"Prayer is a source of every word you preach," Edsall said. "Deacon is not simply what you do; it's who you are. Let what you do and what you teach flow from the heart, from the fruit of prayer each day. If you are faithful in daily prayer, and seek the health and protection of our Blessed Mother, though you may stumble, you will never fall or fail."
He went on to offer more words of encouragement and guidance.
"By the Holy Spirit at your ordination you were changed forever," he said. "You are no longer 'Mister,' but 'Deacon.' You are visible to the world no longer as one of the sheep; now you are one of the shepherds. Your visibility to society outside of the church is an important side of Jesus Christ, who came to serve."
Longtime parishioners Tony and Mary DiSaia said Fulton and Andrade are an inspiration to others. At the reception, they praised them both.
"They are going to make great deacons," Mary said. "We just love them dearly, and we know how hard they worked on their studies."
To earn their status as deacons, Fulton and Andrade have studied the Diaconate Formation Prayer for four years through Providence College. They've also been busy at their full-time jobs: Fulton is a chronic disease epidemiologist for the Rhode Island Health Department, while Andrade, who has been affiliated with local Scouting for nearly 50 years, is a funeral director at Nardolillo Funeral Home.
Patty Gomm, of Scout Troop 7 Buttonwoods, who is also a parishioner at St. Kevin, has known Andrade for many years, and said witnessing Andrade's work with the Scouts proves to her he will be a great deacon.
"He has a great heart," she said, noting how wonderful he is with children.
And while Fulton is leaving SS. Rose and Clement, St. Kevin is ready to welcome him with open arms.
"We are delighted to be getting Deacon Fulton," said Fr. Robert Marciano, the pastor of St. Kevin Parish, who served as pastor of SS. Rose and Clement before Fr. Wilson took over. "He's a talented, faithful man. I've known him for many years. He and his wife Anna have been very involved in the church, and I had the privilege to be the one to recommend him and Deacon Andrade to the Diaconate program."

ORIGINS: Settled in 1641 under the jurisdiction of New Haven.
NAME: Originally called Rippowam after the Native American inhabitants in the area, the settlement was named Stamford in 1642. It's unknown why Stamford was chosen, since there's no record that anyone from the English town of the same name had settled there. But one legend says that two roosters, named Ayreshire and Stamforde, fought in front of the meeting house, with Stamforde winning.
DID YOU KNOW? The first portable typewriter was patented by G.C. Blickensderfer of Stamford. In 1982, The permanent artificial heart, first used in 1982, was invented by Stamford native Robert Jarvik.
FAMOUS RESIDENTS: Jazz musician Benny Goodman, Mount Rushmore sculptor Gutzon Borglum, baseball great Jackie Robinson and pop star Rihanna. Baseball manager Bobby Valentine was a star athlete at Rippowam High; he owns a home and downtown restaurant in town.

More than 3,000 miles of beauty await you this fall in Virginia. Mountains, shore, small towns and rolling countryside are accented with 15 million acres of vibrant color and you won't want to miss it. To help you completely connect on your classic fall roadtrip, check out these 12 fall drives.
- Drive a Classic – The Blue Ridge Parkway stretches from Shenandoah National Park south through Virginia and beyond. It's a family favorite since the 1930s and its beauty is unmatched. Check out the wineries along the way like Chateau Morrisette and Villa Appalaccia, as well as luxury accommodations and outdoor fun at Wintergreen and Primland resorts. Ears for great music will want to tune in to Floyd Country Store, Rex Theater and the Blue Ridge Music Center, but photographers delight in the iconic Mabry Mill – a traditional stop for generations.
- Ride the Sky – Winding through Shenandoah National Park for 105 miles is Skyline Drive with its 75 overlooks, trails, educational programs and guided hikes. Dining and lodging are within the park, too.
- Take a Trip Through American History – Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg are connected by the 23-mile Colonial Parkway which highlights vistas of the James and York rivers and pristine pine and hardwood forests.
- Blaze a Trail Through the Pass – Get into the color after you've gazed upon it. Goshen Pass is the treasure of Route 39 from Lexington west. Carved by the Maury River, the Pass is a three-mile gorge with swimming holes and gigantic boulders perfect for perching and enjoying the view.
- Pathway of Presidents – The Charlottesville area is home to American presidents, great wineries and spectacular fall scenery. Visit Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, James Monroe's Ash Lawn Highland and James Madison's Montpelier, an experience made more pleasurable by the splendid scenic drives that link these historic homes. Routes 22, 20 and 231 wind through the pastoral Virginia Piedmont and through the memorable small towns of Gordonsville and Orange where good shopping and dining abound. Visit the wineries of the Monticello Wine Trail, as Mr. Jefferson would recommend.
- Relax in "God's Thumbprint" – High in the mountains of Southwest Virginia is a bowl-shaped valley resembling the impression left by a giant thumb. Named "Burkes Garden" for an early explorer, the valley contains some of the most fertile soil in Virginia producing unmatched flora. An autumn drive through Burke's Garden always gets a thumb's up.
- Harvest the Scenery – Northern Virginia's Loudoun County is a favorite getaway place because of its abundant wineries, back roads finds, U-pick farms and fabulous restaurants. It also contains a wonderful web of scenic byways. Fall harvest in Loudoun is a time of celebration. Kids love the activities at Loudoun's farms, picking pumpkins, petting alpacas and scampering through corn mazes. The wineries get in on the act too, hosting special events during October Virginia Wine Month: Discover Your Local Crush. Loudoun also has the kind of restaurants that make news in national food publications. The setting is one of the prettiest in Virginia and the scenic roads all seem to lead to something extraordinary.
- Follow the Birds – Virginia's Eastern Shore, the peninsula between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic, is in the direct migratory path of songbirds and raptors. In the fall the Shore is a haven for bird watchers and nature lovers. Stops along the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail provide vantage points to spot birds and other animals in the wild. Rt. 600, running from the southern tip of the Eastern Shore to the town of Nassawadox is a Virginia Scenic Byway, meandering along salt marshes and farmers' fields.
- Take the Colonial Route – Modern Rt. 5 follows the trace of the old Colonial road between Williamsburg and Richmond paralleling the James River. Significant vestiges of those days remain along the way. Dating to 1613, Shirley Plantation has been home to the 11 generations of the Carter Family and is America's oldest family-run business. President William Henry Harrison was born at nearby Berkeley Plantation which is where the famous bugle call Taps was written and hosts the annual Virginia Thanksgiving Festival. The Bed & Breakfast Piney Grove at Southall's Tavern hosts fun progressive dinners and other special functions. Parts of the roadway are canopied in lush tunnel of trees and a high bridge leads over the Chickahominy River.
- Find the "Daughter of the Stars" – Shenandoah is a Native American word meaning "Daughter of the Stars." During the day light twinkles off the clear, bubbling rivers and creeks while on clear nights the stars seem to shimmer with a special glow. Shenandoah County lies in the heart of the famous Valley of Virginia. Nearly every road in the county is picturesque, running alongside brooks and creeks and past centuries-old farmsteads. One of those roads leads across Meem's Bottom Covered Bridge which spans the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. Historic Highway 11 goes through superb small towns, farm markets, antique stores and roadside attractions.
- Visit The Waltons – Nelson County is the home of the fictional Walton Family, creation of Nelson native Earl Hamner and the first family of television in the 1970s and '80s. Running through the county is Rt. 151, "Main Street of the Rockfish Valley." Just on the eastern side of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the valley is a place of splendor as well as fun. Wineries, craft breweries, small towns, Bed and Breakfast and natural beauty are around every bend in the road. While in the area, also take a drive on the Nelson Scenic Loop, a 50-mile route along the shoulder of the mountains that leads past one of Virginia's great beauty spots, Crabtree Falls.
- Ride on a Dragon's Back – Motorcyclists from across the country love to cruise along Rt. 16 between the towns of Tazewell and Marion . The panoramic vistas are as inspiring as the road is fun to maneuver. The up-and-down meanderings of this ribbon of road has led it to be called the Back of the Dragon, but be assured that this serpent is friendly to both cars and motorcycles.
Love is at the heart of every Virginia vacation. Virginia is for Lovers.
