Borg History
The Next Generation
The very first direct encounter between the Federation and the Borg appears to have occurred in late 2364 during the TNG episode "The Neutral Zone". In this episode the Enterprise-D investigates the disappearance of a number of Federation outposts along the Romulan Neutral Zone. They discover that the outposts have been literally "scooped off the surface". Although Romulans are initially suspected, this theory is discounted when the a Romulan warbird arrives and confirms that something similar has happened to outposts on their own side of the border. There is no resolution of the mysterious disappearance of the outposts in this episode.
The episode "Q Who?" featured the first direct meeting between the Federation and the Borg, or at least the first one in which the Federation side survives the encounter. During the episode Q asks Picard if he can become a member of the Enterprise-D crew, stating that Picard is not ready to face the galaxy without his help. When Picard replies rather smugly that he and his crew are ready for whatever awaits them, Q throws the ship some seven thousand light years across the galaxy to star system J25.
Picard investigates the system before setting a course for home. They discover a nearby planet on which all cities and "machine elements" have been scooped off the surface. Worf reports that it is identical to what happened to the outposts along the Neutral Zone the previous year. A Borg cube then arrives.
Picard notes that Guinan is from this area, and questions her about the Borg. She replies that they are a cybernetic species, a mixture of organic and technological components which has been evolving for "thousands of centuries". She reports that the Borg attacked her home system a century ago, and although she was not present at the time there was little left of her people after the attack. This places the Borg's assimilation of Guinan's people in 2265.
There is no hint in the episode that any of the Enterprise-D crew find the Borg remotely familiar - even Data, a supposed repository of almost all knowledge, seems to know nothing about them.
The Borg appear in several more TNG episodes, but these contribute little of significance concerning their history.
Voyager first introduced the Borg in the "Scorpion" two parter. Janeway struck an alliance with the Borg against a new and extremely dangerous species, known by the Borg designation 8472. In order to facilitate co-operation between the two sides, the Borg introduce an ambassador of sorts - Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero One. Whilst Janeway works with the Borg to develop a new weapon against Species 8472 she questions Seven :
|Janeway :
|"You're Human, aren't you?"
|Seven :
|"This body was assimilated 18 years ago. It ceased to be human at that time."
This episode is set during early 2374, so according to her own statement Seven of Nine was assimilated in early 2356. This raises a major problem, because it directly contradicts the idea that Picard and the Enterprise-D made first contact with the Borg in 2365 - Stardate 42761.3, to be exact. However, this would be relatively easy to explain at this point - if Seven's parents had set out into deep space and then been assimilated without being able to contact the Federation, then there would naturally be no record of their exploits and so no knowledge of the Borg.
In the following episode "The Gift", Janeway does a little background digging on Seven, who she identifies as Annika Hansen. She describes records she found filed by Deep Space Four :
|Janeway :
|"Her parents were... unconventional. They fancied themselves explorers, but wanted nothing to do with Starfleet or the Federation. Their names were last recorded at a remote outpost in the Omega sector."
This works perfectly with the speculation that the Hansens stumbled across the Borg in deep space and never sent any information back about the. So far so good. Later in the episode, Janeway confronts Seven with information about herself at a young age :
|Janeway :
|"Her name was Annika Hansen. She was born on stardate 25479 at the Tendara colony. There's still a lot we don't know about her. Did she have any siblings? Who were her friends? Where did she go to school? What was her favourite colour?"
So Seven of Nine was born on Stardate 25479. This equates to about halfway through 2348, making her 25 years old during this episode - she should turn 26 just after the episode "Waking Moments", around the mid-point of this season. She was therefore assimilated in 2356, when she was eight years old.
In the episode "The Raven", also set in 2374, Tuvok and Seven find the ship which Annika's parents used. Tuvok describes it thus :
|Tuvok :
|"It's a Federation vessel partially assimilated by the Borg. There are no life signs. Tritanium decay suggests it has been here for nearly 20 years."
This works well with the idea that Seven was assimilated eighteen years ago.
We see much more detail of the Hansens during the season 5 episode "Dark Frontier", set in 2375. We see various flashbacks covering the Hansen's mission to study the Borg. Some notable excerpts include a scene in which Magnus Hansen, Seven's father, is making a personal log entry concerning the beginning of his mission :
|Magnus :
|"Field notes, U.S.S. Raven, Stardate 32611.4: It's about time. The Federation Council on Exobiology has given us final approval. Starfleet's still concerned about security issues but they've agreed not to stand in our way. We've said our good-byes, and we're ready to start chasing our theories about the Borg."
During this scene Annika/Seven is playing with a model of a Borg cube.
|Annika :
|"What do they look like?"
|Magnus :
|"We're not sure, exactly, but we think they might look a lot like us but with technology inside their bodies."
These scenes cause the real continuity problems, but also begin to suggest a solution. On the one hand, the episode confirms that the Federation Council on Exobiology had knowledge of the Borg on Stardate 32611.4 - just over half way through 2355. This knowledge extended to the idea that the Borg were cybernetic, and to accurate models of their spacecraft. This seems in direct contradiction to the fact that not even Data had this information in 2365 during "Q Who?"
However, the possible solution lies in Magnus's use of the "we're not sure..." line. It seems that the knowledge of the Borg is at least somewhat uncertain. More on the implications of this later.
Later on in "Dark Frontier", Janeway and Seven discuss the Hansens :
|Janeway :
"On the contrary, Seven. They spent their careers studying the Borg. They tracked a cube at close range for what? Two years?"
|Seven :
So the Hansens tracked the Borg for three years before their assimilation.
During another flashback :
|Magnus :
|"Field notes, U.S.S. Raven, Stardate 32623.5: we've been tracking stray readings for nearly eight months now, but there's still no sign of a vessel. I'm beginning to wonder if the Borg are nothing more than rumour and sensor echoes."
A borg cube appears a few minutes later. This entry indicates that eight months has passed between Stardates 32611.4 and 32623.5. Since 1000 stardate units equals one year, this gap should be (12.1/1000)*365.25 = 4.42 days - rather less than eight months! From a later log report :
|Magnus :
|"Field notes, U.S.S. Raven, Stardate 32629.4: after three months of tracking our Borg cube, the vessel entered a transwarp conduit. We followed in its wake. Our sensors tell us we've traveled all the way to the Delta Quadrant, the Borg's native territory."
Again the stardates do not match up. Only 5.9 units have passed since the previous log entry, which is 2.15 days rather than three months.
Another log entry :
|Magnus :
|"Field notes, U.S.S. Raven, Stardate 32634.9: the Raven was hit by a subspace particle storm. We took heavy damage and our multi-adaptive shielding went off-line for 13.2 seconds. Unfortunately, it was long enough for the Borg to perceive us as a threat."
This is a mere two days since the last entry.
According to these stardates, the Hansens searched for the Borg for a mere four and a half days, and the entire period of studying the Borg occupied a further four days. This is directly at odds with the statement by Seven that her parents followed the Borg for three years. That the Raven was assimilated on Stardate 32634.9, which equates to 2355, is also at odds with statements that she was assimilated eighteen years prior to 2374. Since Stardates have a history of being a little less than totally consistent even after their "reform" to the TNG system of 1000 units = 1 year, I would tend to go with the more direct statements.
In the episode "Dragon's Teeth", Voyager encounters a species which survived extinction through war by going into hibernation some 900 years ago. when questioned about the species, Seven declares :
|Seven :
|"The Collective's memory from 900 years ago is fragmentary."
Later on, Gedrin declares :
|Gedrin :
|"The Borg? In my century, they'd only assimilated a handful of systems. It looks like they've spread through the quadrant like a plague."
This is somewhat at odds with Guinan's claim that the Borg had been developing for "Thousands of centuries". It is possible that the Borg were a major power before 900 years ago and had been badly damaged in some sort of conflict - something like the 8472 war perhaps. Or it is possible that the Borg have been developing for hundreds of thousands of years, but that for the vast majority of that time they were limited to a single planet or small group of planets. The latter is perhaps the more likely of the two options - Janeway notes in "Scorpion" that the Borg are not inventive, that they get new technology only by assimilating it from others. So they would not get warp drive until they happened across a warp-driven ship that they were able to assimilate, something which would be extremely difficult for them since by definition they would not be able to catch such a ship.
Another datapoint for Seven of Nine comes in the episode "Collective" :
|Seven :
|"When I was first captured by the Borg, I was young and frightened. I watched my parents assimilated. Then I was placed in a maturation chamber, and the hive mind began to restructure my synaptic pathways, purge my individuality. When I emerged five years later, the turmoil of my forced assimilation had been replaced with order."
The TNG-era portion of Generations is set around Stardate 48650.1, which is around the middle of 2371. Since this is captioned as "78 years later" compared to the opening TOS-era portion of the movie, we know that Kirk's encounter with the Nexus occurred around mid 2293.
In this encounter, the Enterprise-B attempts to rescue a group of El-Aurian refugees - including Guinan - who are traveling towards Earth. The obvious conclusion is that these refugees are fleeing the Borg's assimilation of their home world which Guinan described in "Q Who?"
However, as we saw earlier the attack on Guinan's people took place in 2265 - 28 years prior to their encounter with Kirk and the Nexus. We could assume that Guinan was simply rounding her numbers a bit, but I find this unlikely. For the assimilation to have come say one year before 2293, Guinan would have to be rounding 71 years up to 100; she would have been closer to say 70 years, or even 50 years for that matter.
We can help a bit by pushing the assimilation date back a bit more, but there is only so much we can sensibly do with this. We know that Guinan's planet is likely to be seven thousand lightyears away from the Federation at the very least, since that is how far away system J-25 was. This is a trip of at least seven years even for the speedy USS Voyager. If the El-Aurian refugees had been on the run from the Borg for seven years, that would only push the assimilation date to 2286 - and still leave Guinan rounding 78 years to 100.
Of course, maybe the El-Aurian ships are really slow; for a typical TOS starship, a trip of 7,000 light years should take something like thirty years and that would make Guinan's number be just about right. But while the math works out, this strains credibility in another way - it's hard to believe that the El-Aurians would still consider themselves to be refugees from the Borg after almost thirty years - it would be like somebody today claiming they were a refugee of the Vietnam war!
No, I think we have to assume a double-whammy situation here. Yes the El-Aurians went on the run after their world was assimilated; most of the probably just kept running for a few years. While most of them probably kept on the move others would begin to settle, either singly or in small groups, assimilating into cultures which took their fancy. By the time they neared Federation space the main body of their people would most likely just consider themselves to be nomadic rather than thinking of themselves as still fleeing the Borg.
Then, shortly prior to 2293 there was another disaster which threatened either what remained of the main body of nomads or one of the groups which had hived off from them and settled down. Whatever it was put them on the run again, and it was this group which Kirk and the Enterprise-B encountered in Star Trek : Generations.
Guinan's presence with the Generations group also argues somewhat against these people fleeing the Borg. Since she states in "Q Who?" that she was not present when the Borg attacked her people, then there is no real reason that she should be present with those fleeing that attack. Again, this is not certain - Guinan might easily have joined the refugees somewhere along the journey towards the Federation.
In the Enterprise episode "Regeneration", the wreckage of a Borg sphere is discovered crashed on Earth in the arctic circle. This wreckage is almost a hundred years old, and although it is not stated directly the big implication is that this is the sphere that the Enterprise-E destroyed in "Star Trek : First Contact". Some Borg drones are recovered and studied; they revive, assimilate the research team and their ship, and head off into space. Archer and Enterprise manage to destroy them eventually.
The episode establishes that many images of the drones are taken by the research team, and that these are in the hands of both Starfleet and Enterprise. Detailed scans are also made and distributed. Phlox has the opportunity to study two individuals during their assimilation process for hours on end. Trip is even left with some Borg technology to study, and the wreckage on Earth remains largely intact at the end of the episode.
We can summarise the major data points for the Borg as follows :
|circa. 200000 years ago
|Initial origin of the Borg, according to Guinan.
|"Q Who?"
|The Borg occupied only a handful of systems near Vaadwaur space and were not well known.
|"Dragon's Teeth"
|A Borg sphere travels back in time to this year. It is destroyed by the Enterprise-E.
|"Star Trek : First Contact"
|The wreckage of the First Contact sphere is discovered on Earth. First contact with the Borg.
|Guinan's home world is assimilated by the Borg. This assumes that her "a century ago" reference meant exactly 100 years.
|"Q Who?"
|The Enterprise-B rescues El-Aurian refugees from the Nexus. It is possible that the refugees were fleeing the Borg, and that the assimilation of Guinan's people was therefore some time shortly before this date, if we assume Guinan was rounding quite a bit in her "century ago" quote in "Q Who?". More likely, though, they were refugees from something else.
|"Star Trek : Generations"
|Annika Hansen is born.
|"The Gift"
|According to the Dark Frontier stardates, The Hansens set off to locate the Borg.
|"Dark Frontier"
|According to the Dark Frontier stardates, The Hansens locate the Borg.
|"Dark Frontier"
|According to the Dark Frontier stardates, the Raven follows a cube through a transwarp conduit to the Delta Quadrant.
|"Dark Frontier"
|According to the Dark Frontier stardates, The Raven is located by the Borg.
|"Dark Frontier"
|c. 33500
|Annika Hansen is assimilated at age 8, and placed into a maturation chamber.
|"Scorpion, Part II"
|c. 38500
|Annika Hansen emerges from the Borg maturation chamber as Seven of Nine.
|Borg assimilate several Federation and Romulan outposts along the Neutral Zone.
|"The Neutral Zone"
|Official first contact between Enterprise-D and the Borg at system J25. Borg stated to be "thousand of centuries" old.
|"Q Who?"
|The first major Borg attack on the Federation; Wolf 359 fought.
|"Best of Both Worlds, part I"
|The second major Borg attack on the Federation.
|"Star Trek : First Contact"
|Seven of Nine is "liberated" from the collective by Voyager.
|"Scorpion, Part II"
As noted, the major timeline contradiction here is the mismatch between the stardates given in "Dark Frontier" and the stated time of three years which the Hansens followed the Borg for. We can also see that these dates lead to a contradiction in the year of Annika's assimilation. If we "correct" these figures by using the stated time in years from the same episode, using the previously established date of 2356 for Annika's assimilation and counting backwards, we get :
|c. 200,000 years ago
|Initial origin of the Borg, according to Guinan.
|"Q Who?"
|The Borg occupied only a handful of systems near Vaadwaur space and were not well known.
|"Dragon's Teeth"
|A Borg sphere travels back in time to this year. It is destroyed by the Enterprise-E.
|"Star Trek : First Contact"
|The wreckage of the First Contact sphere is discovered on Earth. First contact with the Borg.
|Guinan's home world is assimilated by the Borg. This assumes that her "a century ago" reference meant exactly 100 years.
|"Q Who?"
|The Enterprise-B rescues El-Aurian refugees from the Nexus. It is possible that the refugees were fleeing the Borg, and that the assimilation of Guinan's people was therefore some time shortly before this date, if we assume Guinan was rounding quite a bit in her "century ago" quote in "Q Who?". More likely, though, they were refugees from something else.
|"Star Trek : Generations"
|Annika Hansen is born.
|"The Gift"
|c. 29830
|The Hansens set off to locate the Borg.
|"Dark Frontier"
|c. 30500
|The Hansens locate the Borg after eight months of searching, and commence three years of studying them.
|"Dark Frontier"
|c. 30750
|After three months of studying the Borg, the Raven follows a cube through a transwarp conduit to the Delta Quadrant.
|"Dark Frontier"
|c. 33500
|Annika Hansen is assimilated at age 8, becoming Seven of Nine.
|"Scorpion, Part II"
|c. 38500
|Annika Hansen emerges from the Borg maturation chamber as Seven of Nine.
|Borg assimilate several Federation and Romulan outposts along the Neutral Zone.
|"The Neutral Zone"
|Official first contact between Enterprise-D and the Borg at system J25. Borg stated to be "thousand of centuries" old.
|"Q Who?"
|The first major Borg attack on the Federation; Wolf 359 fought.
|"Best of Both Worlds, part I"
|The second major Borg attack on the Federation.
|"Star Trek : First Contact"
|Seven of Nine is "liberated" from the collective by Voyager.
|"Scorpion, Part II"
Now we have the Hansens setting off in 2352, locating the Borg in mid 2353, and then following them for the next three years before being assimilated.
The last remaining question is just how to explain the lack of Federation knowledge of the Borg, given that there was contact with El-Aurians as early as 2293. We can speculate that the reports passed on by the El-Aurian refugees were largely fragmentary and unconfirmed. The nature of the Borg is such that anybody who directly encountered them would be unlikely to survive, or at least unlikely to go unassimilated. So the refugees would not be direct witnesses to what had happened. Their information was likely in the form of very long range sensor contacts with Borg ships and drones, inflated rumours and urban legends and distress calls of the sort the USS Lalo sent off before its assimilation in "Best of Both Worlds, Part I" - "under attack by cube shaped ship, please send help!". Even these distress calls would possibly be panicked, scrambled, and often incomplete calls at that.
Given that this evidence may have then had years or even decades to become confused and diluted, Starfleet may well have faced little more than a collection of myths with little or no proof behind them. It would be hardly surprising if these stories were written down, filed in the Federation equivalent of the X-Files, and then quietly forgotten for sixty years.
When the Hansens finally came across this information, it is probable that it was being looked at in much the same way that we look at stories of the Yeti or Loch Ness Monster. This would explain why the Hansens apparently had a hard job arguing the Federation Council on Exobiology around to supporting a mission to go and locate this mystery species. It would also explain why the Enterprise-D crew didn't know about these reports, at least initially. Even Data frequently has to consult the ship's database to find out information, so he is not a repository of all knowledge ever recorded.
However, this becomes almost impossible to believe when Enterprise is taken into account. Here we are not dealing with second hand rumours; we have multiple first hand witnesses, photographs, detailed scans, ample physical evidence. It is impossible to believe that this mass of hard data would fall into the category of myth and legend in only two centuries.
"Regeneration" makes a mockery of all established history between the Federation and the Borg, even trampling all over the trampling that Voyager had already done! The only possible way out of this is to assume that either (a) Starfleet and the Federation are so horribly incompetent that they simply lost all the data and forgot about the Borg, or that (b) they considered the Borg data to be so secret that they kept it all classified.
Either one is almost laughably absurd. Simply losing an entire species? No, sorry, don't buy it. As for option b, I can see the Borg data being kept a secret for a while, I can see Starfleet letting the Hansens go off without telling them what they were getting into (though this would be a remarkably cold blooded thing to do when you think about it). But to still keep it secret once the Borg have been contacted again in Picard's time? With the Borg threatening Earth itself, the government keeps vital information secret from the very soldiers who could use it to fight them? No, that's even more absurd.
The only other way out is disturbingly sweeping in its implications. We could suggest that the passage of the Borg sphere back in time created an alternate future which differs from the one seen in TNG, despite the efforts of Picard to restore it. The implications are truly vast - if we accept this, then we have effectively de-canonised everything in TOS and all of TNG up to Star Trek : Generations. Some fans do indeed go this route - it's even been suggested that Star Trek : Enterprise takes place in this alternate universe and that this is why the show has such poor continuity with the other Trek incarnations. Some even go so far as to suggest that the alternate universe which Enterprise is taking part in is actually the pre-TOS history of the Mirror universe!
To put it mildly, my personal preference is to avoid this. Like Voyager's claim that ships can only fly in straight lines at warp speed, this particular contradiction simply falls by the wayside. Whether you choose to believe that TNG or Enterprise is the one to be disregarded is a matter of personal preference.

Looking for an alternative to large tables? Turn any eating space into a classy bistro with an attractive cafe table. Bistro tables lend an upscale look to any cafeteria or dining area. Overwhelmed by the options? Whatever your preferences are, Hertz Design Team is here to help you determine the optimal choice to suit your needs.
We offer classic rectangular school cafeteria tables in different lengths with various surface and edge materials. While some materials might cost less in the short term, in the long run better materials provide increased longevity. Special edge banding is a worthwhile investment because it keeps away germs and prevents food from building up and corroding the table surface.
What are the best tables for a school cafeteria?
Traditional lunchroom tables have built-in bench-style seating. While this is an excellent option, there are additional choices to choose from. You may prefer a cafeteria table with attached stools or chairs. This gives every student a clearly defined place to sit, and each seat has separate entry points. Chairs swivel around so students can easily turn to face the principal or teacher during lunchtime announcements.
The convertible table bench option offers maximum versatility. This unique style provides two flexible arrangement options. For classic style school lunch tables, simply combine two units. To use this convertible option as a bench, simply flip the table top over and you have an instant bench with back support. This arrangement is a great choice if you like to use your cafeteria as an assembly hall as well.
Where can I find an alternative to regular cafeteria tables?
You don't have to choose a classic table setup in order to get a great selection. For those who don't want attached seating, plain cafeteria tables without attached seating are available. This option lets you choose any kind of chair. Hertz Furniture also has preschool picnic-style bench tables so little ones can sit comfortably at appropriately-sized tables during lunch time. For an alternative to the classic rectangular configuration, circle, square and oval models are available. Circular lunchroom tables create a more intimate and friendly feel because students seated around the table can see each other easily. Oval tables enable students to sit closer together so they don't have to yell in order to have a conversation.
How can you clean under lunchroom tables?
Most of our lunchroom tables fold for easy cleanup and mobility. Many lock in a partially-folded position, providing access to the floor under the table for cleaning, without requiring the table to be completely folded or moved. Folding cafeteria tables lock in the fully-folded position and roll out of the way on attached wheels.
How can I make the cafeteria more appealing?
While many lunchrooms have long cafeteria tables, for some cafe tables are a much more enticing choice. They will transform a regular cafeteria into an upscale dining area. This option is great for student cafes and staff lounges. Intimate cafe tables offer a great spot for coffee breaks, small lunch meetings and study sessions. Their informal yet classy appeal will keep students, employees and clients comfortable.
Our tables come in both counter height and regular height. Counter-height tables offer the unique advantage of separating those seated around them from the hustle and bustle of a busy eating area. They look great with a few sleek bar stools and can really enhance an eating space. Regular-height tables are great because they will fit with an average-size chair so you don't have to order special seating for them.
What table shape should I get?
Tabletops are available in a selection of shapes and colors. Round tables create an intimate feel and enable everyone seated around them to see each other and converse easily. Square tables give each person a clear individual space. We have rectangular tables as well. All shapes come with a choice of surface finish colors that can be coordinated with your decor.
Is it better to get booth seating?Restaurant-style tables with attached cafe booths have a unique appeal that can really spice up an eating space. They are a great choice for an area with retro-themed decor. Other advantages of attached seating are that you will never lose track of the chairs in your eating area and you can be sure that attached chairs are an appropriate height for the tables.
When purchasing bistro tables, you should consider what your ideal seating capacity is. If you want to encourage social interaction, a higher seating capacity is a good choice. If you prefer a more intimate feel, smaller tables are the way to go. Seating arrangements also impact the feel of your tables. Individual chairs are appropriate for both formal and informal settings while booth seating adds a fun and unique flair.
Where can I get adaptable tables?
Do you host a lot of fundraisers or theme nights? Is your eating area also used as a multipurpose room? Does your cleaning staff complain about the difficulties of reaching under tables to clean? OFM has the solution to all of your problems. Their flip-top tables can be folded compactly via one-handed release. Bases feature a unique design that enables compact nesting when tops are flipped down. This convenient setup is perfect for institutions that need to keep tables in storage or clear them away frequently.
At Hertz Furniture, we know how important it is to have a comfortable and appealing space to eat in. We offer great cafe tables, cafeteria tables and bistro tables that are sure to be a hit with your students, employees and clients. Our tables come from dependable manufacturers including Barsky Fleming, KFI, Midwest Folding Products, National Public Seating and Amtab. You can choose a few tables of the same style, or break up the monotony with unique shapes and colors. Whatever you need to properly furnish your lunchroom, Hertz Furniture will help you find the perfect option for your space.

Speak up! Advocating for the UW iSchool
02/03/2011 § 20 Comments
For those of you who don't know, I attend the Information School (iSchool) at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. And while I, like most students, have had both positive and negative experiences in my education (you have or can read about them here or on my blog), I want to take a moment to express my deep concern for the future of the iSchool and the irreplaceable service it provides through its students, faculty and staff.
Washington, like many other states, has been dealing with a severe budget crisis. Since 2009, the University of Washington (UW) has lost 30% of its state appropriation — $132 million — and I have just become aware that after another round of proposed funding reductions, UW will have lost 50% of its state appropriation in just 3 years.
Last week the student leaders of the iSchool received an email from the iSchool's dean – Harry Bruce. In the email, he attached both a letter the UW interim president, Phyllis Wise, sent to the legislature and press, and the budget reductions scenario worksheet. Reading the email and the attached documents left me shocked and horrified. On the list of possible actions as a result of the proposed reductions is this:
"Consider consolidating the Information School with another college and significantly reduce course and degree offerings."
This. Cannot. Happen. It cannot happen for the 'simple' reason that there is not enough money for it to exist on its own. The iSchool recently began its centennial celebration. Although it has changed names, locations on campus and has evolved through the lifecycle of the Information Revolution, throughout its nearly 100 year history, its mission, vision and impact on Seattle, Washington and the Pacific Northwest have only expanded during that time.
William E Henry, the first director of the iSchool in 1922 wrote this:
Whether the University of Washington Library School filled a "long felt want" or not, I am not quite sure, but that it did supply a much felt need, I think there is no doubt, […]
He then goes on to talk about how he worked with other library directors in the Pacific Northwest to form the Library School on the West Coast. Before the UW Library School was founded in 1911, the closest Library School was in Wisconsin.
However, with all of these handicaps we did secure a few who were willing to make the sacrifice necessary and, as was to be expected, then a high-class, well-prepared group of persons, and these, more than any other single influence, made our libraries successful.
Today, 90 years after this was written, the mission and impact of the iSchool is similar. And while this is what is simply stated on the web site, it is honestly the way I personally feel about information and it is one of the main reasons I chose to attend this school.
"We are a community of diverse disciplines, professional fields, and areas of expertise engaged with the study of information and its use by people and organizations.
We are inspired by information. We want everyone to know how vital information is to all aspects of life.
We see a world where more effective use of information helps everyone discover, learn, innovate, solve problems, have fun, and make a better world. Information changes lives.
We prepare information leaders. We research the problems and opportunities of information. We design solutions to information challenges. We make information work."
In the email last week, we were told this, "We will preserve the high caliber of professional education in the information fields that we have achieved. Our highest priority in all our considerations is to maintain the quality of our academic programs that serve our excellent students."
While I have no doubt the administrators, faculty, staff and students will work endlessly to maintain quality programs, I do know this will be difficult with significant reduction of courses and degree offerings. One of the things that makes the iSchool the iSchool is its opportunities for research, the flexibility to have discussions, be creative and develop innovative techniques, through unique courses and programs. These require financial support.
At a time when information is evolving in ways no one can imagine, I just don't understand how the iSchool could receive cuts. We are inspired by information. We make information work.
I ask these questions:
- What other schools within UW can step into the role of the iSchool for the UW, Seattle, WA, the Pacific NW, the country, the world?
- Shouldn't the iSchool be expanding and growing within the evolving field of information?
- How can we work to become even more efficient through our research, services and education?
- If the iSchool should be consolidated with other schools, which ones best fit our visions and missions?
I want to thank our dean, Harry Bruce, for informing us of this before it was announced through the state and the press. I also want to thank him for emphasizing that the integrity and impact of the iSchool will remain even if the worst happens. Of course, no decisions have been made yet, but this is our time to explore new options and secure the future of education options for information science students.
Please use this post as place to begin to talk about how to secure your place at the institution where you study. Look for more information about this as I get it from the school and the state. Although I graduate in a few weeks, I do not plan on leaving quietly and watching opportunities of future iSchoolers and the lives of those we (students) serve drown in the waves of the state's budget crisis.
Note: iSchool students met yesterday to talk about our actions and we've created a Facebook group Save the UW iSchool to communicate and gather ourselves. We will also be compiling talking points for writing letters and an online petition and we hope to create a collection (on YouTube) of short video clips of people sharing why the iSchool is important to them. All of this will be shared with our legislators. Please look for more information soon.
§ 20 Responses to Speak up! Advocating for the UW iSchool
This is terrible, I'm so sorry to hear about it!
At the University of Texas School of Information, we're almost entirely dependent on state funds (almost 3/4 of our budget comes from state appropriations–more than any other school or department on campus).
To weather the budget crisis, we've significantly reduced our summer course offerings down to half of the required courses and one or two courses that consistently have a large waiting list during the regular semesters. Additionally, much of our faculty is retiring, but not all will be replaced.
I know they're small, but its helping to keep us afloat. Good luck and keep fighting the fight!
This is incredibly concerning. I'm only in my 2nd quarter at the iSchool, and I haven't fully experienced everything it has to offer me as a student yet. I worry that if these budget cuts do happen and the iSchool is forced to consolidate with another college and cut course offerings/instructors, I won't get the chance to do so.
I'm on board with whatever needs to be done to save the iSchool. Consolidation and cutting course offerings or instructors for this institution is a terrible idea. We are and will be one of the most important and relevant fields of study in the coming years, and for the state and the UW to ignore that would be like shooting themselves in the foot.
Thanks for posting this! I'm a freshman at the iSchool's distance MLIS program, and somehow missed hearing about the situation until now. Seeing the iSchool at UW disappear would be a terrible blow to library education in the Pacific Northwest – as far as I know, there are no library schools in Oregon or Idaho, and this is the only one I know of in Washington – and it's a good one.
Thanks again and I will be joining the Facebook page to save the iSchool.

To put it simply the iSchool at UW is irreplaceable, Especially its ALA accredited library science program. There are only two other programs in the pacific northwest, and one of them is a satellite of Emporia state. Library schools make librarians that fulfill a communities need, and while the internet makes it easier to attend a MLIS program anywhere, it's not the same as being physically in an area.
While I love Washington State, library school moved me across the country. I don't know yet if that is a good or a bad thing, but for a potential librarian in Montana or Idaho, moving to attend an on campus program isn't a choice. We shouldn't trust the future of Washington's libraries to people who may move back.
I also know people who have done the MSIS at UW. The iSchool has been instrumental to the development of Seattle's information design and user experience community. A community which for the past 4 years has held, InfoCamp, an information event that this year had over 400 attendees and sold out 9 days before the conference. Seattle's economy is based, in part, on companies that provide Information services, these ideas, businesses, and employees are created at the UW iSchool. As a Washingtonian, I am shocked and appaled that this program is on the chopping block. They wouldn't threaten computer science, why cut information science?
I'm probably sending that to my state legislators tomorrow.
Minus the typos.
Point of clarification: what does "consolidation" mean? The are many universities that have combined colleges. The library system, for example, is often part of the College of Arts & Sciences, rather that its own academic unit. Accounting is sometimes part of Business. Etc. etc.
At smaller universities, I can imagine a situation where consolidation would actually be a good thing. For two reason: (1) new, integrated courses that bring together students and faculty from other departments with outside perspectives (Comp sci, humanities, education, e.g.) and (2) access to new sources of funding, including added percentage of tuition, alumni channels, and restricted funds.
Of course, cutting courses and reducing degree offerings is a frightening thing, but I think there are some benefits to consolidation, depending on how it works out.

"The Language of God" Book Club–Chapter 6
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment, we examine evidence that proteins in irreducibly complex (IC) systems can form and refine new interactions through gradual mechanisms.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Part of our goal at BioLogos is to demonstrate that we in the Christian community can and must think deeply, but also broadly, if we want to do justice to the complexity of biological life, but also to the complexity of our lives of faith.
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.

Gretsch Guitars was founded in 1883 when a young German immigrant, Friedrich Gretsch, opened a music instrument shop in Brooklyn, N.Y. The company originally built banjos, tambourines, and drums before launching into the luthier craft. Gretsch's first models were acoustic archtop guitars aimed at jazz musicians and flattop guitars for country-western performers.
The first Gretsch electric guitar hit the market in the mid 1950s—marking the start of the golden years with their iconic 6120 and White Falcon models. When country guitar virtuoso Chet Atkins chose to join Gretsch Guitars as an endorser, the company began competing with better-known guitar makers. Thousands of the 6120 Chet Atkins guitar model were sold, including one to rocker Duane Eddy. The Country Gentleman and a budget-friendly version, the Tennessean, were other popular Chet Atkins guitar models. Read More>

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
How to silence political bores with your own deft analysis
I have to credit some poor headline writer for that title, which I stole. And I mean "poor" in the sense of not being very good. The article was about how to have conversations with people, not how to silence them. Funny when even your own staff, the guys on your side, can't read or listen properly to what you are saying.
There's a lot of that going around.
I don't know about you but I haven't had a lot of luck rendering people speechless by virtue of my very own brilliance. Possibly this is because I'm not all that brilliant. But more probably, it's because people pretty much want to stick with whatever they've decided to think. The polite ones are just waiting for you to take a breath so they can say what they've been thinking all along. The impolite ones interrupt you to do it.
Most of those brilliant thoughts somebody else thought and planted as a sound bite anyway. Which brings me to the first of three rules, learned the hard way.
Three Rules to Achieve Total Conversation Domination and Become Thin and Rich, Or Maybe at Least Have a Real Conversation
1. If you've heard Glenn Beck or Michael Moore say it, don't repeat it.
Lessons from Japan
I can't stop thinking about the terrible confluence of natural disaster and vulnerable human infrastructure in Japan -- what it means for the Japanese, what it means for us.
First comes shock and sorrow. For many of us, perspective follows. "I think about what a hard year I've had," one friend says, "and I realize it is nothing, nothing compared with this." Others say the same.
Indeed. Likely 10,000 dead, nearly half a million living in evacuation shelters or tents. Cold winter winds are still coming, along with aftershocks, more fires, and maybe worse. As far as I know, no one has been brave enough to estimate the cost of property lost, the cost to rebuild communities and the lives lived in them.
Those of us who pray pray for the people of Japan and offer thanks that our own problems are so small. Those who don't pray have prayer-like thoughts of sadness and compassion. We try to imagine the best ways to help.
Financial reporters give the most shocking media interpretations of events. According to CNBC's Larry Kudlow, "The human toll here looks to be much worse than the economic toll, and we can be grateful for that." It would appear to be a slip, except that the entire feature is designed to show what good news the crisis will be for American markets.
Japan's nuclear plant failures force other nations look at our own reactors. The Japanese plants were state of the art: in what state are ours? Not as bad as Chernobyl's. But not as good as Japan's. So what does that mean for us?
Thinking of the common good first, individual good second, gives the Japanese great strength in times of crisis. That's why Emperor Akihito asked them to act with "compassion to overcome these difficult times."
Compassion: the Japanese not only value it but teach how to do it. You can't test for compassion on a standardized test, so it isn't in the curriculum of most American schools.
If you want to see why the Japanese are likely to handle this crisis better than most, look at this clip from the documentary Children Full of Life. "Mr. Kanamori, a teacher of a 4th grade class, teaches his students not only how to be students, but how to live. He gives them lessons on teamwork, community, the importance of openness, how to cope. . ."
Some problems are too great for even Clint Eastwood and Sylvester Stallone, all the Marlboro Men in their primes, to manage ruggedly and alone. And there are, grown-ups know, no superheroes.
There is, however, the superpower of compassion in action.
Rules for living in strange times
You know you are living in strange times when the thunder blizzard leaves snow at the end of March and you are glad you don't live where there are tsunamis. Still, I predict that spring, such as it is here, will come eventually and stay for a bit.
And you know you are living in strange times when the state Supreme Court justice race hinges on how you use Facebook. It seems that one candidate uses it the way, well, young people do: free-for-all. Whereas the other, not comfortable with lacking control, uses heavy censorship. So I predict the outcome hinges on whether the weather is good and the more free-spirited of the young folks get out to vote.
You are probably wondering how I came to be so calm and philosophical about living in strange times. Or not; still, I'll tell you. It's following the rules of life I've accumulated over the years. These are not the ones everyone knows, like "turn off the news" and "get over yourself." They're rules you may have forgotten.
Secret Rules for a Good Life in Strange Times (Though Aren't They All)?
1. Wear rubber boots: they take you through just about anything
Forget fashion, though they do make spiffy boots in mad colors and patterns now. It's about your ability to navigate the real world in comfort. Rubber boots take you through snow, rain, and mud. With them, you can laugh at any unpleasantness on the ground even if you step in it.

Did you know?
EUR-USD touched 1.3805 lows, down from the N.Y. session peak over 1.3840. Softer core EU CPI, the ECB's desire for a weaker currency, and an improving U.S. economy should all conspire against the euro, and we look for EUR-USD to remain in sell the rally mode. Light intra day sell stops were reported at 1.3790, though some bidding interest from London was noted into the figure. The pairing managed afternoon highs just over 1.3830. Read More ►

XE Market Analysis
North American Edition2014-04-16 11:21 UTC
The dollar has traded mixed against the other majors, rising against the yen but declining against the euro amid a strong rally in EUR-JPY, while Cable was well bid following a much better than expected drop in U.K. unemployment to 6.9% from 7.2% last. Sterling was the outperformer, with Cable surging some 100 pips to a peak of 1.6818, though stalling just shy of last week's peak of 1.6820 and the Feb-17 major-trend peak at 1.6822. EUR-USD got a lift on ... Read More ►

USD-JPY nudged above 102.00 to an eight-day high of 102.25 on the back of general yen weakness as the currency, once again, correlated inversely with stock market direction. EUR-JPY lifted to a five-day peak of 141.32. The MSCI Asia Pacific equity index was up 0.7% in PM trade in Tokyo while the Nikkei surged over 2.5%, benefitting from the tech-led rebound on Wall Street on Tuesday. China Q1 GDP also came in above expectations at 7.4% y/y. Japanese ... Read More ►

With the exception of a few flurries of activity, FX trade was fairly quiet in N.Y. on Wednesday. The BoC left rates alone as expected, though was dovish sounding enough to get USD-CAD over 1.10 again. Stronger U.S. production data helped the dollar to a degree, but major pairings were largely mired inside of tight trading bands. USD-JPY moved inside of 102.20-40, while EUR-USD tested 1.3800, before moving marginally higher. Cable meanwhile, traded either ... Read More ►

Comments about Mizuno G3 Wheeled Equipment Bag:
I had this bag for three to four months during part of my high school and travel season. However during that short period of time one of the wheel axle's broke causing me to have to drag the large bag around on one wheel with the other creating a trench in the ground and a black skid mark on concrete. Not only did the wheel break but the handle also became jammed at it's most extended length, after it could hardly fit in my large SUV.

Comments about Mizuno G3 Wheeled Equipment Bag:
I received the bag and zipper pulls were broken and zipper quality was poor. Called Mizuno but they were no help. So much for customer service! Bag is very roomy which is good for a catcher but bag has too many areas for equipment. Not well designed. Zippers are everwhere and bats can't be easily taken out/in because of pockets and velcro around individual bats. Overall quality is a "5" on a "1-10"
