What he said.
If you're using an AMD graphics card and have recently updated to the latest Catalyst driver, then you'll have a problem seeing some rigged mesh.
A workaround is to untick 'Hardware Skinning' in the graphics preferences, and that should fix it. It did for me.
If it is related to the AMD card, then the other option is to roll back the drivers to Catalyst version 14.4, as that seems to be the most stable.

Leslie Burger's Opening Comments
last night she did a search for "national agenda" and found out that everyone has one - motorcycle association, EPA agenda for the aging, etc.
believes we're on the right track
saw three major pieces in each
- big guiding principles
- action items - what do we need to do nationally
- what can you do back in your local community to advance the agenda
what are we actually trying to create here? asked the "observers" to engage in the conversation and not just observe
five arenas seemed to emerge last night
- community
- democracy
- economic development
- education
- cultural preservation
- took away last night going from concept to tactical; need to focus on local
- technology didn't enter the conversation enough; it's not just bandwidth
- likes the idea of the guiding principles - need to have specific things can do and ask for with legislators
- really believes we have to speak in the language of the user; have to make it simpler
- the helping role of libraries
- "the power of ten" - if a library is a destination in the city, what are the 10 things libraries can do there and how can the community build around that; what is the community's vision for its library and that will give you a structure for how to move your library forward; don't shape a vision for them - do it with them
- agrees but adds the caveat that sometimes people know what a library is and can be
- keeps asking his staff why they do things over and over and over again; libraries are often the first touchpoint for groups that turnover a lot in the community; have to be able to accommodate these kinds of differences; it's not just the common denominator, but also celebrating the differences
- doesn't believe most people think of themselves as a "community"
- agrees we need to pay attention to where users say they are, but there also has to be something more powerful that we're saying than reiterating what we already are; not an either/or situation; maybe we need some new words to really create power behind the message we want to convey
- disagrees with the fact that folks don't see themselves as communities; believes there is a very deep hunger for community and libraries can be an answer for that; we should take advantage of that; people get what's wrong and they want to infuse their efforts in an institution they can trust and feel good about
- disagreement about whether people use the word "communities" and identify with it
- was thinking about boundaries last night; the new immigrant generation is exploiting technology much more so than previous ones; the image it creates of community for him is one of a place of different information resources; where is the boundary and how porous is it between library and community; question becomes managing that boundary
- the library has become unimportant to college students; will technology make the library irrelevant? are we going to end up with an agenda that is compelling enough that we can justify with a straight face the expenditure of further funding from stressed ; have to be prepared to talk about Google and others who claim they will be the source for information; have to be prepared to talk about new services like Second Life; intelligent automated agents and the semantic web discussion about how it will replace reference librarians
- is worried that we're not talking about the next generation of citizens; where do children get introduced to information? we have public libraries serving as school libraries; they are the next generation of voters - how do they get connected the next information world; need to examine who isn't sitting at this table
- there are many communities within your local community and there are global communities
- yes we need to talk about technology, but not as a separate area; it is integral to all of the arenas
- there's an interesting dynamic for libraries - people don't necessarily operate in communities but they have a deep yearning to be part of something bigger than themselves; libraries are boundary-spanning institutions within the community - can connect people across boundaries; pathways can be created; we could aggregate people so they are using and supporting libraries or we could say we're also on a democratic mission to connect people across boundaries, which would be an additional role
- some of this conversation is generationally-based; she doesn't see a difference between Google and librarians; thinks the competition concept comes from older librarians; people go to libraries when they have a need, which is a gap libraries fill
- thinks it's the younger librarians that believe Google will replace reference and is worried about this
- bothers her that we're talking about where we are, not where we want to be; we're all members of the public, too; was thinking about soy lattes and they weren't on the menu - that came from community requests; new book "the spider and the starfish" - people bring their library/website/ipods/whatever together; they use the best of it, regardless of where it is; we'll miss this kind of thing if we stay on this linear agenda
- the flip side is if we make it too hard, they won't use it
- soy lattes is a classic example of something that can't be engineered
- we know that 30%+ of kids create content on the internet and there are almost no gender differences or ethnic differences; what is clear, though, is that they don't see any boundaries - they don't think about whether you're in the library or not; we have to cope with other peoples' realities as well as our own
- libraries can respond to all of these things; what is the problem that prevents them from doing this? have to align with the national level - have to play the "parents want their kids to succeed" card; we're all on the same page that libraries are important, although might have to play the relevancy card
- should position the library as a place to support user-generated content, especially for people who can't get that access elsewhere; lack of respect for facts so can educate but also instill with a respect for fact
- a few things are holding us back as a profession, although they don't necessarily hold true for the people at this table
- a legacy of success - we've done what we've done pretty well, especially in the absence of a crisis; so we have a legacy of things like a "balanced collection," 80% of which never circulates; a legacy of things that have worked in the past; makes it hard to push forward new models
- asked how many people have used wikipedia? lots of hands. asked how many have edited wikipedia. fewer hands; web 2.0 really is about groups coming together to create content but who is monitoring to see if it is worthwhile content
- once students know how to use library resources, they will use them; we are ignoring the fact that just because someone is computer savvy doesn't mean they are information savvy; they now know that one half of use of the library is electronic now, even as physical use is also increasing; we are coping with legacy but we are also looking at how to integrate the electronic resources in with the critical thinking piece
- have again raised the audience question - obviously we need to do more within our community to have this discussion; have to be where the kids are (MySpace, etc.)
we're sinking into describing conditions - need to refocus on principles and action items
- it's not just young people and the internet - how many people believe Fox News and Access Hollywood; people are contesting ideas in all kinds of media; the library brings an institutional standard, based partially on tradition and standard, but also on trying to capture a dynamic; need to get back to the role of this institution in society; no single answer - it's many things to many people
- why don't we have any surveys that talk about legislators and their attitudes, on the local, state, and national level; we have surveys that talk about how our users feel about us, but they don't control the funding
- "holding us back" phrase we were using; "holding us back" from doing what, being what, being where?
- things are holding us back from more discussion within the profession; what we expect from our users and what we expect to offer them; making the jump the next level
- the world has become very homogenized, even with the great amount of user-generated content, doesn't mean we have a diversity of ideas; we need to value what we contribute to this and why it's important why we be there
- we can spend all our time opposing everything they're going to do that we don't like, but we are formidable when we come together around something
- need to have a vision in order to do these things and move them forward; we are in fact here to build better libraries, not to decide if they are important
- looking at the current political situation - we can position ourselves with those coming into power
- thinks the 5-6 arenas we've identified are the right "neighborhoods," although they still aren't the agenda; they aren't independent, though; could work through that list to move forward
- have to be careful about language - it's not just "the library" but also the "librarians," the staff; "you can get this at the library" is different from "you can consult with an expert"
- we've been successful putting forward a positive agenda, but that hasn't translated into dollars and cents at the national level; the more we talk about libraries as community places, the more the federal level will see that as a local issue, which means it won't translate into money and funding at the national level
- the "tipping point" at which the library makes the transformational change in the community; also about the transformational moment when the community transforms the library (new branch, new space, whatever); the physical building seems to be that point in most cases; personal story about how when the library put in a new online catalog with new services it became a transformational experience for him - could comment, could connect to other users, could connect with librarians; the other thing we have to transform is the experience of the user coming in online - the online catalog sucks; noted Casey Bisson's plans to open source MARC records - maybe that's the transformational moment for the online user nationwide; it's in your power to make your resources the first search result
- cultural preservation is critical and is not just about the past; the incredible role libraries have in capturing the moment, not just the history
- how about preservation and celebration
- has a concern about embedding technology into the five arenas because believes we too often put technology behind everything while younger generations put it first and at the forefront
- agrees and was going to suggest that we use technology as the banner and the arenas as subsets
- disagrees because we're confusing the tool with the result; we don't have books up there
- thinks technology in this context is substantively different and isn't just a tool
- it's not either/or - could do both
- maybe it's technology/innovation
- if we're looking for national levels that resonate at that level, the competitiveness/innovation pieces lives strongly there
- Ed Vielmetti will lead the technology group
- Cynthia Nikitin will lead economic development group
- Tracie Hall will lead the community group
- Nancy Kranich will lead the democracy group
- Jim Neal will lead the cultural preservation group
- Cindy Phillip will lead the education group
Excerpts from Breakout Discussions
Education group
- using information, not just finding it
- ethical use of information; efficient/effective
- literate and engaged populace
- tech
- immigrants
- workplace skills
- literacy is the umbrella, not just information literacy; it's a broad term, like learning
- workplace literacy = changing job skills, personal development, retooling
- except that it's not always training or skills development
Cultural Preservation
- preserving "heritage"
- does that term really resonate with the public?
- it's "civilization"
- action items
- Preservation/Web Archiving Exception Under U.S. Copyright Law
- National Legislative/Funding Program for Digital Preservation
- National Education Program for Digital Info Professional
- what metaphors can we use?
- our human record is at risk
- still concerned that the action items are focused on digital
- what about the stories of our lives, of our communities? getting down to the human language
- our national life
- our national intelligence (analog and digital)
- and no one is in charge
- SOS - Save Our Stories
- so maybe an action item needs to be to work with our partners to identify what needs saving, without overlap, inventory, etc.
- need to be creative inventing tools to automate these processes
- maybe each state needs to identify the 10 things they need to preserve
- maybe an annual list, then money comes in to do it
- like "Save America's Treasures"
- still need to grapple with this issue of capturing and preserving the flood of content being created on the web

- we speak to some communities urgently and other communities in other ways
- are we about information anymore? maybe we're about connections - improve the quality of life
- agrees that there is a difference between making connections for people and providing ways for them to do it; if libraries are cornerstones 50 years ago, what did that mean? what does it mean now?
- two roles - cornerstones and connectors?
- defined it as participation
- the library levels the odds and allows people to participate
- framework for a just society
- provide freedom and justice for all by enabling life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

- support small business development and growth; becoming a center for business innovation; "retool at the library"
- support community economic development through partnerships and initiatives
- action items
- convene regional conferences on economic development (set this table!) - be the ones to invite these people in
- continue to lobby for the Workforce Investment Act and similar legislation
- position and fund libraries to become the one stop shop for economic development on a wholesale basis; mainstream this beyond the local level
- looked at two different models
- libraries as cornerstones, more traditional
- move past that and look at libraries as connectors (the "Starbucks model" because it's a known entity) - how can we imbue libraries with this
- statement: libraries are 21st century places of opportunity that build strong communities and individuals
- people connect to and around and because of a place
- libraries are places where people connect to each other
- people connect to other ideas and opinions
- discover new resources to create knowledge
- libraries are flexible and mobile - where the people are
- action steps
- make an agreement that commands funding for physical and tech access
- create a mechanism to increase predictability while preserving individualization
- development of a National Library Card ("that's Hot!"); the way you can plug a flash drive in to any computer and use your own desktop, maybe library service could be like that

- introduced a tiny bit of reality - libraries are locally funded; if there is a national card, you will see whole states stop funding libraries
- was thinking of the card more figuratively; local policies would still apply, but could get a temporary card or some other fit within the local framework; maybe call it a "national library passport"
- maybe it gets you on the internet workstations in every library
- emotive language; because we get a rise out of it, this is the next step; it resonates
- the idea of a flash drive you plug in to any library computer resonated with him
- does ALA policy already cover some of these issues? ALA has been good about sustaining and sorting out these issues? should we concentrate on new areas?
- the metaphor here is EZ-Pass
- suggestion for a "National Library Agenda Hackfest" to pare all of this down for everyone else
- Keith Michael Fiels
- Leslie Burger
- Molly Fogarty
- David B. Smith
- everything we've talked about is on ALA's national legislative agenda
- but there is a difference between saying we're talking about all of these things and that's why we want a 5% increase instead of a 3% and saying we can craft these into 3-5 breakthrough concepts that raise the visibility and open additional opportunities
- also have to start thinking about LSTA

Responses to Hackfest
- wants to put the regional economic development conferences back in
- hackfest group tried to outline broad strokes and strategies, not micro steps - the conferences are definitely a valuable action
- curious what our takeaway line is from each of these? the only one he sees is "save our stories" which he thinks PBS has already used
- that everyone deserves great libraries
- or is it transformation?
- meshing of "libraries and you" that creates a great library
- "libraries make great communities"
- can flip that around for a referendum campaign and make it "communities make great libraries"
- great communities...great libraries
- where's the pizzazz?
- participation is key, people won't identify with "great communities" and "great libraries;" versus "it's useful if you build it" not "build it and they will come in;" it's really other people making things happen, at the point of need, so they make it happen
- there's no "u" in library!
- challenging ourselves to think outside of the box; what if we called it "ibrary" where people talk about themselves; it's my knowledge that is relevant to me
- would like to see more emphasis on the buildings; how do you take all of this vision and turn it into design? in terms of statements and objects that aren't impossible to use
- isn't sure one catchy tagline will resonate with legislators and the public and others; maybe we need more than one
- place issue is more important than just buildings - wherever our presence is; some of our virtual spaces are just as unusable as buildings built in 1900; maybe we look at presence - how do we describe physical and virtual spaces
- could incorporate more the spirit within the institution that is hospitable and welcome and that clarifies rather than confuses; what do you do to make people feel the presence belongs to them and that they are welcome and safe there
- maybe name it "relevant presence," both physical and virtual
- the library is the only remaining opportunity to build civic temples; blurring boundary between our public and private spheres; having trouble grappling with the value of these temples and how they will straddle these two spheres to be relevant to younger generations
- noted the number of empty Wal-Marts and K-Marts - maybe there's an opportunity there
- PSA contest of content created by library users using these new technologies
- at this level of discussion, we're not so concerned about building standards, etc., but what our conceptual model of a library is; is it a website or a building? more and more I think about it the way I think about other things - I want it to be convenient, pervasive, flexible; I don't care about how I "ought to" use the catalog - I want to use it the way I want to use it; I want to subtly reshape it to do what I want it to do
- is there something we have obviously neglected to take into account here?
- no, the real rub is that if you reconceptualize who you are and what do you want to be, what are you today, where do you want to be, and what is the gap? we don't want to look in the mirror and see that we're not what we want to be; will require heavy lifting to get us there; can always see what we wish we were and retrofit our language; constant tension between my library and our library; it's going to be both
- we're trying to adapt to an environment that hasn't taken shape yet; are we getting ourselves locked into harder and harder casts? we could become rigid in saying here's where we're doing okay, so don't bother me; I see too many people who are retired still in place
- when you have an agenda, it's a call to action; what I'm hearing is that investing in libraries is investing in the country, our communities, etc. what are we trying to get out of this? what is our agenda calling for? invest what for what?
- we want to bring the next generation of leaders into this - what do the younger people here think we should look like?
- -a younger observer related a story about an older colleague who said they'd already tried something, it didn't work, and it won't work; it's the people who behind the efforts, not just being in the space - that's not coming out here; to get more support for libraries, we need to get more support for the people in them - this is a piece that's missing; incubators for the future
- -we want to be reflective of our communities, but we keep taking things and not really figuring out how to engage people; "save our stories" is great, but how are we going to actually do something; missing connection that will grab people into these things
- -people as content creators - can put things in the library, not just take from it; this is your library and you are adding content to it
- -customized experience; web 2.0 works because people can use it
- making presumption that we'd be deploying predetermined services, but that's not what we're saying; would take into account community input; wishes we could squeeze in the notion of libraries playing a role in promoting tolerance and understanding; doesn't think we can get support for people to be wildly innovative, but maybe we need to state we need support for programs that support innovation, to try really over the edge innovation; supporting innovation incubation
- that means you have to commit that if you're laying the foundation for the future that once in a while you'll lay an egg; interesting egg of the internet is consumers creating content they can sell - what would a library look like if they modeled that?
- piece we continually miss is playing that out at the local level to make that happen; using libraries for physical discourse
- we have never found a way to replicate in this field once we found a successful model; sustainability of innovative projects
- we're turning the whole thing inside out and talking about looking at the users, not us; highlighted a research library that is completely rethinking what a 21st century research library looks like; look at it from user view, not institutional point of view; still thinks the audience is us; can we encapsulate the user point of view in a national agenda
- is thinking about libraries engaging with the community and the technology aspect of that; the concept of civic engagement has to go beyond just the library; opportunity to engage not just when you walk in the door
- we should have already learned that good ideas don't automatically mean sustainability; ALA has distinguished itself on a political agenda but needs a larger community upon which to expand; the rest of the world needs to be more involved with ALA's struggles; this plan must have multiple political dimensions to it
- we keep getting back to what is the role of libraries; we need a framework to have these discussions
- we honor the fact that people have so much stress in their lives - standard of quality; have to change the culture of the profession; thinks we pander too much to ourselves and it's tiring; we are elitist, we think the middle class rules; we only have 5-10 years to make this agenda real
- has to make public libraries and libraries in general as pertinent as the healthcare agenda
- we have to standardize quality of service
- has to be fungible and mobile to go where the people are
- types of libraries out there
- opens its doors and thinks its job is done; stagnant; nothing we say today will touch them but their circulation is declining and they affect our reputation
- does best practices, does PR, has discussions with the community; they're already dancing with the community; the sense of urgency is about the dullards and the real decline of libraries; we inherit their failure
- disagrees with standard of service because they would make us standardize on mediocre
- what people are actually experiencing in libraries has almost nothing to do with what we're talking about here; only 10% of positive comments in the OCLC Perceptions report were about the staff, which tells him the staff is invisible and isn't viewed as anything; can't hang our hat on that because people will say "what staff?" so much of what we do is to make the librarians happy but not the users
- would add that it's the governing bodies, too - it's the bureaucracy, too
- how do you have this conversation with colleagues who haven't attended a conference in 20 years?
- need vision and leadership to move beyond stagnancy; need this to create the sense of urgency; an agenda around what is in the best interest of the common people in general - has been lost during the last few decades
- two incredible opportunities here based on explosion of networked participation
- people need the grounded experience libraries provide
- also an opportunity for librarians; I can get "stuff" with no problem, but I need a good coach, otherwise called a reference librarian
- national agenda can help with all of these things but could also be used in staff training; we'll never get rid of these horror movie librarians; framework for better customer service
- if we get an agenda out there for great libraries then we can measure against it and not accept substandard service
- people don't differentiate between types of libraries, how they are funded, and what people can do about it - would need an education campaign
- thinks it's great that we're talking so much about young people, but Boomers will be around for 20 more years
Leslie: needs more shake; need to distill all of this down to just a few pages; will get feedback from this group to make sure it is accurate; will then discuss it at ALA Midwinter conference, especially at division meetings
could then rewrite again and send it out further to spur national conversation, maybe test it a little bit
then if we have enough agreement, really begin to make an announcement and have a document ready by ALA Legislative Day
- can also take it to SLA, ASIS, etc.
- opportunity to mobilize people at Annual around this, too, during Day on the Hill
- in all of this discussion, no one has mentioned trustees; they are the people making policy in the library and they need to be part of this
- this will also go to ALISE
- now we're back to talking amonst ourselves again, though, and not our communities; where do we want to have this discussion?
- maybe there's an opportunity to have that discussion in Washington D.C., too
- maybe folks that use this could film their discussions with local groups?
- National Day of Dialogue during National Library Week?
- can we frame this in a way that makes it easy for communities to have this conversation?
- can we create the dialogue in MySpace, Facebook, etc.? have that dialogue with them?
- Libraries and Librarians group on LibraryThing
- discussion will continue after Leslie's term ends
- there are two simultaneous discussions - libraries and the public and the public good, and revitalizing libraries and funding; legislative agenda needs a beginning and an end in its process; who really sets an agenda for libraries, so where would this kind of responsibility sit permanently?
- another discussion about transforming the profession

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2004 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen J. Seng today announced that the City has received a Mini Andros Hazardous Device Robot for use in handling explosives. Homeland security funds and private donations paid for the $86,000 robot.
Bill Moody, Chief Fire Inspector and Bomb Squad Commander in the City Building and Safety Department, said the local bomb squad responds to an average of 60 calls involving explosives every year. Those have been handled by bomb technicians wearing special equipment.
ďSome situations involving explosives can only be handled by a person, but the robot gives the bomb squad the ability to handle many cases of potential explosives remotely, from a safe distance,Ē said Mayor Seng. ďThese are obviously very dangerous situations, and this new robot will improve safety for the public and for those who serve on our bomb squad.Ē
Moody said the robot is the same type now being used in Iraq. Bomb squad members were trained as part of mandatory training at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. About half of the 425 accredited bomb squads in the country have received robots.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and, with something of a guilty conscience, laugh at all the Europeans stuck in airports for the millionth straight day. Think your way of living is so superior, do you, Europe? A volcano just OWNED you. LET'S GO!
HOUSE – 8:00PM (FOX) A busy night on "House" as one of Wilson's ex-wives returns (Cynthia Watros of "Lost") to rekindle their relationship, and House must tend to a group of Renaissance Fair dorks. Ah, Renaissance Fair nerds, the very lowest rung of the nerd food chain. Even Trekkers think Renaissance Fair dorks are idiots. They're not even allowed in ComicCon. In fact, I'm told that, in many parts of the country, Renaissance Fair dorks are forced to drink from their own water fountain, which they refuse to do because there were no water fountains in Renaissance times. Expect House to destroy a lute or two. ANTICIPATION: JOUST!
DANCING WITH THE STARS – 8:00PM (ABC) It's Movie Night on DTWS, with the stars dancing to famous movie songs. Listen, we all already know that Pamela Anderson probably already bogarted "Flashdance (What A Feeling)" for herself. But I'm willing to get down on my knees and pray to Buddha that Erin Andrews somehow wrested it away from her. I'm not saying it's important that I see Erin pull a chain and drench herself with a bucket of water. I'm just saying it would be pleasant. That's all. ANTICIPATION: KATE'S A MANNNNIAC, MANNNNNIAC I KNOW…
INTERVENTION – 9:00PM (A&E) Amy P. is suffering from both anorexia and bulimia, which begs the crass question: How can you be bulimic if you don't eat anything? I'm sure there's an answer to this, and I'm sure this episode answers it, and I'm quite sure the answer will haunt my dreams. ANTICIPATION: EATING IS GOOD AND I LIKE FULL FIGURED WOMEN
CONSTRUCTION INTERVENTION – 9:00PM (Discovery) It's just like "Intervention," only instead of fighting bulimia, they fight termites and sloppy bathroom fixture installations. ANTICIPATION: I'M ADDICTED TO HAMMERING
ANTHONY BOURDAIN: NO RESERVATIONS – 10:00PM (Travel Channel) Tonight, porn star legend Ron Jeremy joins Tony for "Food Porn 2," presumably a clip show showing things I would like to eat but lack the approved visa and travel guide to access. Like regular porn, it will start off exciting, and then grow numbing. And then they bring out the kebabs. SHUDDER. ANTICIPATION: MEAT ON A STICK!

I have to apologize in advance for this post. This series was never meant to be a recap: it was meant to highlight the reasons why watching Mets baseball was enjoyable even when they didn't walk away with a win. Games like this were not what I had in mind when I came up with this re-occurring bit.
Why am I apologizing? Because the "Something Nice" tonight was the top of the eighth and ninth innings. Is that a cop out? Yes. But it was one thing after the other: Jose Reyes getting jobbed at third, Dan Murphy tying it with a "Blue Collar Blast" (copyright Amazin' Avenue), Jason Bay reaching on an infield single, Willie Harris benefiting beating out a bunt due to some ugly defense, Chin-lung Hu's first RBI as a member of the Mets, Josh Thole's fielders choice RBI, Murphy's two-run double, and Francisco Rodriguez closing the door. I guess if I had to pick one player I'd go with Murph, but everybody deserves credit for the win (especially the Nationals).
I tried to tweet my feelings about this win immediately after the game ended. I'm not sure I said it right, so I'll try again here. I fully understand that it's April and this was a game between two teams that have lost more games than they've won. I know this game does not represent a "turning point" in the same way that I know it's not an indication that the Mets have "figured it out" or that they displayed a willingness to "do whatever it takes to win." This win symbolizes nothing: it's just 0.62% of the schedule. I get all that, but it doesn't diminish the fact that this game was freaking awesome. "Double comeback! What does it mean!"
Not all that much, but boy was it fun to watch. If you watched (or listened) to this game and didn't get at least a little caught up in it, well, I'm sorry: I'm not sure what to say to you. But if you did? If you cheered wildly when Murph went yard, died a little when Wilson Ramos gave the Nats the lead again, perked up a bit when Hu drove in the tying run, cheered wildly when Thole got the winning "ribeye steak", and totally lost your shit when Murph doubled in some insurance runs*? Hang on to that. Soak every second of it in. Set your DVR to record the replay and watch it as much as you want: it's in the books.

NORRISTOWN – A Telford man has admitted to conspiring with a friend to unlawfully transfer a rifle to the friend, who police said was not permitted to possess a firearm and who then brandished it during a standoff with police in January 2012.
Samuel C. Sofia, 37, of the 300 block of Kimberwick Court, pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Court on Thursday to charges of making false statements during the sale or transfer of a firearm and conspiracy in the unlawful sale or transfer of a firearm in connection with incidents that occurred between August 2011 and January 2012.
Judge Joseph A. Smyth deferred sentencing so that court officials can complete a background investigative report about Sofia. Sofia, who remains free on bail pending sentencing, faces a possible maximum sentence of seven-to-14 years in prison on the charges.
Sofia, who was represented by defense lawyer Douglas M. Johnson, entered his guilty plea shortly before he was scheduled to go to trial on the charges.
Assistant District Attorney Nathan Schadler is prosecuting the case.
With the charges, police alleged Sofia purchased a Savage Axis bolt action rifle in caliber .30-06 on Aug. 18, 2011, from a Bucks County gun dealer, the same gun that his friend Emilio Sciortino Jr. had attempted to purchase two days prior at a Montgomery County gun shop but was turned down because he is ineligible to possess a firearm.
Authorities alleged Sofia later gave the rifle to Sciortino, who subsequently armed himself with the rifle during a brief hostage standoff with police at his home in the first block of Indian Valley Lane in Telford on Jan. 10, 2012. The rifle purchased by Sofia was one of three guns recovered from Sciortino's bedroom by police after the standoff and authorities alleged it was 'fully loaded' with a round in the chamber, 'in the ready fire position,' according to an arrest affidavit.
During an interview by police, Sofia initially claimed he had purchased the rifle, which was modified with the addition of a bipod and a telescopic sight, as a 'backup' hunting rifle and that he 'loaned' it to Sciortino, according to the criminal complaint. However, when pressed for the truth by police, Sofia later admitted he purchased the rifle for Sciortino 'to use,' according to the arrest affidavit.
Police claimed Sofia disregarded warnings from Sciortino's relatives not to purchase the weapon for Sciortino.
According to court papers, when police searched Sciortino's home after the hostage standoff they recovered three firearms, the gun given to him by Sofia, as well as a Remington 12-gauge shotgun and a Marlin lever action rifle.
In court papers, authorities alleged Sciortino admitted to firing the Marlin lever action rifle as a warning to police during the hostage standoff.
Last week, Sciortino, 22, pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated assault, false imprisonment, persons not to possess a firearm and conspiracy to unlawfully acquire a firearm in connection with the January 2012 incident at his home.
Sciortino faces a possible maximum sentence of 29-58 years in prison on the charges when he's sentenced later this year. Sciortino remains in the county jail without bail pending sentencing.
An investigation began about 1:40 p.m. Jan. 10, 2012, when Telford police responded to Sciortino's home after receiving a report from a resident of the home that Sciortino had taken a woman visiting the home hostage in his bedroom, according to the criminal complaint. After police arrived at the residence, Sciortino fired four shots with a rifle at police during the standoff.
After several minutes of negotiations, Sciortino surrendered to police at 2:15 p.m.

A delegation from Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) led by Mr. Ahmed Al Nuaimi, Chairman, represented Qatar at the 34th meeting of the World Tourism Organization's Committee for the Middle East (UNWTO) in Sana'a, Yemen held on the 22 and 23 June. The meeting brought together 65 delegates from 12 Arab and international organizations.
Deputy Prime Minister for Security Affairs, Defense and Minister of Local Administration of Yemen, Mr. Rashad Mohammed al-Alimi, addressed the opening session. Mr. al-Alimi re-affirmed the growing importance of the tourism industry to the economies in the Middle East and North Africa region, and its role in nourishing development through achieving sustainability and reducing poverty and unemployment.
Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organization, Dr. Taleb Rifai, delivered a report on the current situation of world tourism. He reviewed the general work of the organization and the process of the restructuring of the secretariat of the organization since he took over as Secretary-General in September 2009 in Astana, Kazakhstan.
In discussing the two day congress, Mr. Al Nuaimi stressed that the importance of the gathering lies in Dr. Rafai's report on the status of world tourism, where the countries involved will need to review their strategies and adopt action plans that work within the changing environment.
"The report submitted by the Secretary-General shows that significant challenges still exist in the global tourism industry," said Mr. Al Nuaimi. "The year 2009 was one of the most difficult years for tourism around the world due to the effects of the global economic crisis, and the restrictions faced by the industry due to H1N1 and other natural calamities. Tourism rates declined 4% globally – the worst in 60 The number of international travelers decreased from 950 million to 880 million. Tourism revenues dropped worldwide by 6%, which is relatively low considering the drop in the trade sector (12%)."
As for the impact of the economic crisis on the tourism industry in the Arab region, Al Nuaimi said that there was a decrease in tourism to the Arab region, though the decrease in revenues was lower than the worldwide decrease. He attributed this to the decrease in foreign tourists being replaced by an increase in local tourists, highlighting the important role in filling the gap of foreign tourists.
Discussing the outlook for 2010, Mr. Al Nuaimi commented on the projections by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), which indicates that international economic growth could exceed 4%. "The recovery from the economic crisis of 2009 for the tourism industry is still a slow and cautious recovery, and is not commensurate with the global economic recovery," said Mr. Al Nuaimi. "Though there was a rebound in the first quarter of 2010, the industry faced another crisis and was challenged by natural disasters such as the Icelandic volcano eruption that went beyond Europe and affected flights on all continents – Asia, Africa North America and South America."
This was followed by the increase in debt of certain European countries such as Greece, Spain, Portugal and now Italy. In order for many governments to stimulate their economies, they have had to impose a package of fiscal policies including policies on travel and tourism. Such policies include levying a departure tax on visitors who travel abroad which may in turn affect inbound tourism to those countries.
"The future challenges that stand in front of the tourism industry are not confined to economic or political crises or challenges of natural disasters," said Mr. Al Nuaimi. "The tourism industry faces many challenges to be considered just like any other industry: not providing enough job opportunities to reduce unemployment and closing the poverty gap. In addition there is the environmental challenge which his now threatening all economic sectors, as all industries must address the international calls to reduce the consumption of natural resources and to protect the environment, including air flights and the air pollution resulting from them."
As for the status of Arab tourism, Mr. Al Nuami has said that according to the World Tourism Organization, the region still accounts for more than 5% of global tourism. And when comparing this figure to what it was ten years ago, it has doubled. This is due to the efforts of developing tourism in the region, and increasing the awareness of its importance. "The tourism sector is an ever-growing business and yields increasing revenue every time attention is allocated to developing and enhancing it," said Mr. Al Nuaimi. "Tourism is the most successful tool in sustainable development, reducing poverty and unemployment and the most successful in sustaining the environment, heritage and society. This is a call to all of us to raise more awareness about tourism. Tourism authorities cannot work alone - tourism is a broad sector that must be taken care of by all government segments."
As for QTA's benefit from the report of the World Tourism Organization, Mr. Al Nuaimi said that QTA has now identified the type of tourists it will target in the future, not just by number, but also by the duration of stay and the amount they are willing to spend. "Identifying and targeting the markets that have the highest number of outbound travelers is central to the promotion strategy for tourism marketing," remarked Mr. Al Nuaimi. It is worth mentioning that the World Tourism Organization has changed their forecast on outbound travelers from Europe given the current economic conditions and that Asian outbound tourism is expected to increase. "We also find it important that the G20 created a sub-committee, the T20, whose goal it is to follow up with the finance ministers to make them aware of the importance of the tourism sector and its role in steering the economic wheel."
In the second meeting session, QTA presented its report for 2009-2010. The report discussed the Qatari tourism market and touristic venues in terms of business tourism, exhibition centers and conventions, and listed previous hosted events (32 exhibitions). In promoting Qatar as a cultural center, Mr. Al Nuaimi discussed current attractions including the Museum of Islamic Art and pointed out the future plans for opening museums and cultural exhibitions hosted by the State of Qatar. As for sports tourism, Mr. Al Nuaimi spoke of the diverse sports events hosted here such as world tennis tourism, golf, hosting the Asian Games for 2011 and Qatar's bid to host the 2022 World Cup. Mr. Al Nuaimi discussed the progress in the hotel industry, and investment boom in tourism as the result of investment law changes by the government earlier in the year.
Mr. Al Nuaimi's report also discussed the efforts in promoting internal tourism, especially that the latter plays a role in attracting the residents and making them spend less time abroad, leading them to spend more of their vacation in Qatar, leading in turn to the prosperity of the internal tourism sector.

PONTIAC >> A Bloomfield Hills High School basketball standout has been sentenced to probation and community service after pleading guilty to second-degree home invasion.
Khalil Gracey, 17, was sentenced Wednesday to three years of probation and 100 hours of community service by Oakland Circuit Judge Wendy Potts. He was also sentenced to one day in jail, which has already been served.
"I apologize to you and all the victims," Gracey told Potts immediately prior to the sentence being imposed.
"I want to apologize to my family for putting them through all this. I just feel it was poor judgment on my part for what I did. I apologize."
Gracey and his co-defendants Michael Pickens, 17, and Carrington Simons, 18, are accused of breaking into a home in the Bloomfield area in February. Pickens has not entered a plea and is scheduled to stand trial in June. Simons pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree home invasion and is scheduled to be sentenced June 11.
Potts said Gracey and his co-defendants learned the victims would be in Canada and decided to break into the residence. Gracey was to receive $20 in exchange for being the getaway driver.
"You have tried to minimize your participation, but it seems fairly clear you went into the residence at some point," Potts said.
"You have demonstrated a very poor lapse in judgment, but we'll see how you do — (I'll) give you a chance."
Gracey was also granted Holmes Youthful Trainee Act status, meaning that if he meets certain conditions, the conviction will be wiped from his record and he will have no criminal history.
Elbert Hatchett, who represents Gracey, said his client's pre-sentence report was "one of the most sterling ... I have ever seen."
He asked Potts for a lenient sentence.
"I suggest to you that he has been punished quite sufficiently by his parents, who have run a tight ship all his life," Hatchett said.
Hatchett believes the situation can be turned into a positive that will shape Gracey's behavior going forward.
"He has a great future as an athlete," Hatchett said.
"As I indicated earlier on, I'm not asking you to cut him any slack because he has great potential as an athlete, but I would like to see him go as far as that talent will take him."
Gracey, a senior, is scheduled to graduate next month from Bloomfield Hills High School. An All-League forward, he was suspended from the school's basketball team for its final three games, including a loss to Muskegon in the state final.
The school told The Oakland Press that Gracey's suspension was related to "legal issues."

Dickson is a two-time All-Ivy selection (photo courtesy David Silverman).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Sophomore midfielder
Carly Dickson has earned selection to the All-Ivy League second
team, leading three all-league selections from the Harvard field
hockey team. Junior Chloe Keating and freshman Cynthia Tassopoulos
garnered All-Ivy honorable mention.
Dickson was honored for the league for the second straight season. She was a first-team honoree as a freshman. Dickson anchored the Crimson midfield and led the team with seven assists. The Victoria, B.C., native added five goals for 10 points and led the team with nine points on three goals and three assists. She finished the year strong, recording a goal and an assist in two of Harvard's final three games.
Keating led Harvard with 25 points and 10 goals. She contributed at both the midfield and forward positions and recorded the team's highest single-season point total since 2004. A native of Bryn Mawr, Pa., Keating was the central figure in Harvard's early-season, non-conference success. She had five goals and four assists in the first three games of the season, all wins, and was named Ivy League Player of the Week Sept. 15.
Tassopoulos had an outstanding rookie season in the Harvard goal. She ranks seventh in the nation with 8.82 saves per game and posted a .701 save percentage. She won the first three starts of her career and made eight saves Oct. 17 at Cornell to record her first shutout. She was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week Oct. 13, after posting double-digit saves against Massachusetts and Michigan and holding the Minutewomen scoreless from the field. The Dallas native recorded a season-high 23 saves against No. 6 Connecticut.

Summit Combined Housing Authority to help with special assessments in 2013
summit daily news
Some homeowners who find themselves facing hefty expenses for needed health or safety-related projects on their homes will be able to look to the Summit Combined Housing Authority for help next year.
The authority is launching a new loan program offering assistance to owners who have been hit with special assessment costs between $10,000-$15,000.
Local housing officials said they recently recognized a need for the loan program among owners who don't qualify for special-assessment loans through their homeowners' association or property-management company.
"We wanted to have something else available for them with a lower interest rate," said Joanne Van Steenberghe, of the Summit Combined Housing Authority. "We don't want people to lose their home because of the assessment."
Special assessments can include replacing a roof, major exterior work or updating heating or plumbing systems. If an HOA does not have enough money in reserve to cover the project, they ask the homeowner to share the burden, according to a statement from the housing authority.
The loan program is not available for aesthetic projects.
Owners will have to live and work in Summit County full-time, year-round to qualify for the loan, and recipients' income cannot exceed a specific threshold, Van Steenberghe said.
Loans will only be granted to families at or below 100 percent of AMI, or currently $89,800 a year for a family of four.
The special assessment program was created from the remains of a down payment assistance loan program, which is being discontinued because many lenders would not approve the funds.
The money from that program has been rolled over to create the special assessment loan program.
Applications will be online at the housing authority's website after Jan. 1.

Big Buck Rescue
In South Dakota, someone was deer hunting and spotted a deer in the distance with his head down. It wasn't moving, and wouldn't raise it's head. She grabbed her binoculars and looked at him, and saw that the buck's horns were locked in the antlers of a dead buck. So she called friends and asked if they were up for an adventure — a buck rescue if you will.
In addition to having their antlers locked together, the bucks were tangled in an old fence. The live buck had the bigger rack – a 5 x 6. The dead buck was bigger bodied and looked to be an older deer. It had more "stickers" on its rack. They attempted to break a point off the dead buck's rack with his pliers, but couldn't. Then they pulled an old post out of the fence line and used it to try and pry the racks loose, but so far the buck rescue wasn't working.
They finally decided to go to a friend's house in order to borrow his chainsaw, but then they thought something quieter would be better, and so got a hacksaw instead. Terry sawed the main beam on the dead buck and then other one was free!

They say the strangest part about cutting your hair is the first time you wash it, post chop. If your morning routine includes gooping globs of shampoo into your palm before lathering it into a soapy headful, you may experience a brief moment of panic when there's really not much left to wash.
My hair's been pretty long for some time, so when I first thought about going short six months ago, I decided that such a monumental chop could not go in vain! Sure, I have my gripes with my painfully straight (read: unexciting) brunette locks, but I do know that I'm lucky to have a full head of it. Many others – especially patients undergoing cancer treatment – are not.
So I let it grow. Finally, last week, I sat into the chair of Hiroshi at Mark Garrison Salon in New York City. I took a nervous breath as he threw my hair into a ponytail, and I winced as 9 inches were gone with 1 chop. After Hiroshi worked a little of his brush-and-blow magic (on the house), I was loving my new 'do. The locks cut loose were placed into a baggie and shipped off to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, a campaign that provides free, real-hair wigs to women who have lost their hair to cancer.
Pantene Beautiful Lengths is not alone in encouraging people to donate their hair for a good cause. Quality wigs for women who have lost their hair can cost thousands of dollars and may only be partially covered by health insurance. If you're interested in making "the big cut," here are a few of the places you can send in your tresses.
Pantene Beautiful Lengths: My charity of choice, Pantene Beautiful Lengths identifies women cancer patients in need and provides them with wigs (for free!) that are created with real, donated hair. It takes 4 to 6 ponytail donations to create one wig, so convince your friends to donate too.
Your hair: You must donate a minimum of 8 inches (I went for 9). Your hair cannot be more than 5 percent gray or bleached, permanently colored, or chemically treated (it can be colored with rinses and semi-permanent dyes). You should completely wash and dry your hair, and you can straighten it before the cut for measure.
Locks of Love: This non-profit organization provides wigs to children under the age of 18 who are financially disadvantaged and have lost hair due to a number of medical diagnoses. Most of the children who receive the wigs, however, suffer from alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair follicles to shut down. Lots of young girls long for lengthy hair, so 6 to 10 ponytails go into making one wig.
Your hair: You must donate a minimum of 10 inches. Colored and permed hair is accepted, though hair that has been bleached cannot be used. Your hair must be mailed clean and dry in a ponytail or braid.
Wigs for Kids: Wigs for Kids gives real-hair wigs to children who have lost their locks from medical treatments, health conditions, or burn accidents. It takes 12-24 ponytails to make one hairpiece, and each one is specifically designed for the child in need – for free.
Your hair: You must donate a minimum of 12 inches of clean and dry hair. It cannot be permed, colored, or highlighted, but gray hair is accepted!
If you're itching for a new 'do, and you've got the hair to spare, get a makeover that makes a difference!
Check out my before-and-after shots.

Landing Place of the First Settlers
Commemoration of the arrival of the first settlers in Newbury, MA.
From a Brief History of Newbury:
The settlers of Newbury were not religious enthusiasts or pilgrims who fled from religious persecution in England. They were substantial, law abiding, loyal English tradesmen, of that staunch middle class that was the backbone of England.
Those that settled Newbury came at different times and on different ships, between the end of April, 1634 and July, 1635. In one of the first ships arriving in 1635, came Thomas Parker a minister along with a small company of settlers. They went first to Agawam (Ipswich) and later along with their countrymen, who came from Wiltshire, England, to Newbury.
The first settlers came by water from Ipswich, through Plum Island Sound, and up the Quascacunquen River, which was later renamed the Parker River. These settlers came to Newbury in May or June of 1635. Ships from England began to arrive almost immediately with cattle and more settlers. Governor Winthrop, in his history of New England under the date of June 3, 1635, records the arrival of two ships with Dutch cattle along with the ship "James", from Southampton bringing more settlers.
Newbury was, therefore, begun as a stock raising enterprise and the settlers came to engage in that business and to establish homes for themselves. In total fifteen ships came in June and one each in August, November and December bringing still more families to the settlement.
There is no record of how many families arrived in the first year. Houses were erected on both sides of the Parker River. The principal settlement was around the meeting house on the lower green. The first church in Newbury could not have been formed before June, as some of those recorded at its formation are not recorded as having arrived until June.
In the division of land the first settlers recognized the scripture rule, "to him that hath shall be given," and the wealth of each grantee can be estimated by the number of acres given him.*
When they arrived in Massachusetts, the settlers found that the state had established the Congregational form of religion. Everyone was taxed to support the Congregational Society and was commanded to attend worship at the meeting house. The Reverend Thomas Parker was a member of the stock raising company and was also the minister of the settlers.
The outlying settlers had a long journey to the meeting house. The congregations were in danger of attacks from Indians and wild beasts on their way to and from worship. There was a constant dread of attack during the time of services and all able bodied inhabitants were required to bring their weapons to church. Sentinels were posted at the doors.**
In spite of the hardship and danger, the population steadily increased in number and gradually improved its worldly condition.
*a statement of practice which furthers the argument that Robert Adams was not a tailor.
**reinforces the view of Robert's stature in Newbury, allowed as he was to establish his property so far from the settlement.

DiS asked Alessi Laurent-Marke aka Alessi's Ark to pick some of her favourite records from the bulging back-catalogue of prolific producer Mike Mogis.
Why Mr Mogis? Because he's the Omaha-based fella who produced her debut album Notes from the Treehouse which is out now.
Take it away, Alessi...
Nearly all of my favourite albums by recent bands had Mike Mogis' name in common in the sleeve notes. Through those albums being stocked in record shops next to other similar projects and bands, I went on to discover and obsess over other albums, collecting and weaving a web of music that really did something to me; Neva Dinova, M.Ward... I wrote about the albums in the 'zine I wrote through secondary school, Brain Bulletin. I could never have dreamt I'd go on start making music of my own, let alone put together an album with the man whose work (alongside my parents' tastes) had molded my ears.
Here are just a few of my favourite albums produced by Mike...
Rilo Kiley - The Execution of All Things
The first time I heard this album was in a someone's car in on holiday in California. I looked for the album as soon we were back in London and finally came across a copy a few weeks later at the Record & Tape Exchange in notting hill. It kept me good company through school. My favourite songs on there; 'The Good That Won't Come Out', 'Hail to Whatever You Find In The Sunshine', 'Paint's Peeling' and 'With Arms Outstretched'. One of the first gigs I went to was a triple bill - Rilo Kiley, Modest Mouse and Bright Eyes at the Shepherds Bush Empire. It was a dream having all of that music on our doorstep for an evening. RK played quite a bit off of that record, it was such a treat hearing those songs live.
Bright Eyes & Neva Dinova - One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels
When I was 14 I kept a special notebook and at a festival an older friend wrote down a few recommendations inside, in the same list was another important album, Prospect Hummer by Animal Collective & Vashti Bunyan. I managed to find One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels in Ear Candy, a nice record shop. Had a walkman in my bag and put it on straightaway. It had been worth all the weeks of searching unsuccessfully in London - that EP is golden. 'Tripped', 'Poison' and 'Spring Cleaning'...give them a listen! Jake Bellows's voice cannot be beaten! He sang on 'The Horse' and laid down some pretty harmonies across the album - it was an honour. He is working on some new music at the moment but give his Neva Dinova albums a listen...there's a self titled album, 'The Hate Yourself Change', and the most recent 'You May Already Be Dreaming'.
Bright Eyes - Digital Ash in a Digital Urn
The details and intricate sounds across this record are beautiful and stopped me in my tracks. 'Gold Mine Gutted' beholds one of my favourite drum beats.
Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous
The day the album came out, Mum and I went to hear the band play an in-store. It was a wonderful show, with everybody lined up and swaying between the cd stands and shelves. There isn't a single track on the album to skip through, give them all a listen! My dad's favourite is 'I Never'...it doesn't really work coming from a fellow though, he'd sing it in the car..."I'm only a woman! of flesh and bone!...". A beautiful song though, coming from anyone.
