Best new restaurants in Hong Kong
New restaurants in Hong Kong turn over faster than a certain Kardashian marriage. Here are the ones that have managed to maintain our attention over the last six months.
The anti-fine dining fine dining: 22 Ships
Barely a month old, 22 Ships is a casual tapas bar in Wanchai that is getting great buzz.
There's no reservations -- a restaurant trend in Hong Kong -- and it can fit about 30 diners, all perched on stools at bartops. The decor is no-frills; the menu is on your placemat.
But the food is mighty fancy.
There's the foamed sangria with freeze-dried berries and the deconstructed Spanish breakfast with velvet potatoes and slow-cooked egg. Then there's the PBJ, transforming the peanut butter and jelly sandwich into a plate of peanut ice cream, cherry sorbet and salted "pea-nut" caramel.
The man behind the eatery is Jason Atherton, the British chef whose London restaurant, Pollen Street Social, got a Michelin star about six months after opening. An unusually fast rise.
He's worked with Marco Pierre White, trained with Ferran Adrià and was the executive chef at Gordon Ramsey's Maze.
Such a heavyweight resume belies the cheerful, informal attitude of his 22 Ships. We're glad of it.
22 Ships, open Monday - Friday noon - 3 p.m., 6 -11 p.m., Saturday noon - 3 p.m. and 6-11 p.m., 22 Ship Street, Wanchai, +852 2555 0722, www.22ships.hk
The back alley joint: Brickhouse
It's hard to keep anything hidden in Hong Kong, city of bright lights and food blogging zealots, so when Brickhouse opened down a sliver of a back alley with no signage, it stayed a secret for a good five minutes.
Through word of mouth and that thing called Facebook, people heard about the great tacos at Brickhouse and the street-style corn on the cob smothered in cheese and lime, as well as the beetroot fries and margaritas.
As a result, Brickhouse has been corralling a crowd of hungry folk in its grimy alleyway in Lan Kwai Fong every night since it's pre-opening phase back in April and May. There's a no reservations policy so the wait is up to 45 minutes.
But somehow, going to Brickhouse still makes you feel in-the-know. It is a loud and unpretentiously funky place. No intimate moments here.
The walls are covered in murals and stickers with a great worn-in feel that is odd for its months-old age. The staff are really nice but not fawning and head chef Austin with Kurt Cobain hair is fixed behind the counter checking every dish to come out of the kitchen.
Brickhouse, open Monday to Wednesday 6 p.m. - 2 a.m., Thursday to Saturday 6 p.m. - 4 a.m., G/F, 20A D'Aguilar St, Central. Walking up D'Aguilar Street from Wellington Street, there is a tiny alley on the left less than 10 meters up. Brickhouse is in there. www.brickhouse.com.hk
The hippie dippy veggie place: Grassroots Pantry
The mass of ebullient greenery outside the two-story Grassroots Pantry says "you have arrived at an eco-friendly vegetarian joint."
Incongruous with the concrete drabness of its aged Sai Ying Pun neighborhood, Grassroots Pantry is the first international vegetarian restaurant of good quality in the district, and some would say, in Hong Kong.
Inside, it's like a European country house, all vintage-inspired furniture, bundles of dried and fresh flowers and menus drawn by hand. With Regina Spektor on the sound system, every detail in the place is aimed at cutting through the stress and slowing down the pace.
The food is honest-to-goodness vegetarian, no faux meats here, only homemade ketchup, dal and quinoa and raw blueberry cheesecake. Locally sourced organic ingredients are used where possible.
We had the signature mixed mushroom and asparagus linguine, with a generous slashing of white truffle oil that was just shy of overwhelming. Shiitake, king eryngii, oyster mushrooms and asparagus were served on a base of whole wheat paste. Creamy, savory and very filling.
Grassroots Pantry is open Tuesday to Saturday noon - 10 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., 12 Fuk Sau Lane, Sai Ying Pun, +852 2873 3353, www.grassrootspantry.com
The one that turns into a dance club: Socialito
One of the most playful and ambitious of the new restaurants in Hong Kong, Socialito is a matryoshka doll of a place.
Located on prime nightlife real estate on Wyndham Street, Socialito has an open front taqueria that takes advantage of the dishevelled bankers doing nightly streetside drinking. People can stand around with beers and chomp messily on pulled pork tacos.
The food here is so-so and grown men have been less than amused at the teeny servings. But the people watching is phenomenal, especially on the weekends when good-looking revelers spill over from Dragon-i, Solas and LKF Tower.
To the left of the taqueria is a set of typical kitchen doors seen in American diners. These lead to a whole different section of Socialito.
The gorgeous inner sanctum is dimly lit, with wrought iron partitions and carved wood panelling. They've upped the ante on the food here. There's zingy lobster and swordfish ceviche, amazing Wagyu tacos and tequila cocktails.
Then at around midnight, the real party starts. People come in to drink and dance in the restaurant, transforming it into something like a nightclub. There is appropriately a salsa night on Wednesdays.
Socialito, Shop 2, G/F, The Centrium, 50 Wyndham St, Central, +852 3167 7380. The taqueria opens from noon, the restaurant is open at 6 p.m., both are open till late, www.socialito.com.hk
The twee one: Tate
There are two menus at Tate, a little place in Soho. They are both tasting menus, filled with themed dishes, such as a potato one that should evoke a hot summer beach, or a zen garden dessert that looks exactly like a tiny garden.
The food themes are so literal and so cute, like things that fell out of a young girl's scrapbook of holiday momentos, pressed flowers and other inspiring knickknacks.
One of the latest creations is uni sabayon with caviar -- round little cups of cream topped with fresh purple flowers. It looks like something sold on Etsy.
The meals at Tate even finish with a miniature dessert cart that fits on the dining table and that was surely stolen from a toddler's playroom.
Chef Vicky Lau left Cépage to open Tate, and her feminine hand can be seen in everything.
No wonder the place attracts so many of Hong Kong's ladies to its elegant cream and taupe dining room.
Tate, Monday to Saturday 6 - 11 p.m., 59 Elgin St, Soho, Central, +852 2555 2172, www.tate.com.hk

All students who apply for financial aid will receive a financial aid notification letter. The letter will include the types of assistance and award amounts the student is eligible to receive. With the exception of student employment earnings, funds awarded will be credited to the student's tuition account at the beginning of each term. In order to ensure loan funds are credited in a timely manner, students should ensure a Master Promissory Note has been completed and Entrance Loan Counseling has been confirmed.
Students, who wish to decline a financial aid award or reduce the mount of the award, must sign and return their award letter within fourteen (14) days of receipt.
Students must reapply for financial aid each award year. Priority is given to students who meet the financial aid priority deadline date, April 15 of each year.
The Office of Financial Aid reserves the right to modify financial aid awards at any time based on the availability of federal, state and institutional funds or if changes occur in the student's financial need analysis, enrollment or academic status.
If financial assistance is received form an outside source after the financial aid award notification letter has been issued, a recalculation of aid eligibility will be completed using the additional financial assistance as a resource. Required financial aid adjustments will be made in accordance with university policy and state and federal regulations. All forms of outside assistance must be reported to the Office of Financial Aid.
Financial aid awards assume the student will enroll full-time each term. Failure to enroll on a full-time basis may result in a revision of financial aid awards. It is recommended that students counsel with a financial aid counselor prior to altering their pattern of enrollment or withdrawing from a class.

HTML and XHTML
This technique relates to:
The objective of this technique is to use HTML and XHTML heading markup to convey the structure of the content. Heading markup can be used to:
distinguish the main content from navigation bars, graphical banners, footers, etc.
show the organization of material within the main content
In HTML and XHTML, heading markup is designed to convey logical hierarchy, and
heading elements include numbers (
h1 through
h6). Skipping
levels in the sequence of headings may create the impression that the structure of the
document has not been properly thought through or that specific headings have been
chosen for their visual rendering rather than their meaning. Cascading Style Sheets
(CSS) can be used to change the way headings look or sound.
Since headings indicate the start of important sections of content, it is possible for users with assistive technology to jump directly to the appropriate heading and begin reading the content. This significantly speeds interaction for users who would otherwise access the content slowly.
Using headings merely to change the appearance of text does not convey the organization of the content, and may confuse users who use headings to perceive structure or rely on them for navigation. Conversely, while applying bold format, or even "class=heading", can result in the visual display of a heading, assistive technologies will not recognize such text as headings.
In this example, heading markup is used to make the navigation and main content sections perceivable.

Shoptalk/Commentary: Trigger-Happy Reporting
By: Jeff Helmreich
As soon as the story about a Yeshiva University teacher accused of sexual abuse hit newsstands last month, his life changed forever. His employer saw it (he was suspended from his current job almost as soon as the ink dried); his friends, family, and associates would soon learn of it; and anyone who searches the Web could now forever find it. His fate was sealed.
What did it take for the newspapers to render such an ultimate and irreparable sentence? How much evidence or corroboration? Check the articles that broke the story, and you'll find the startling answer: one accuser. That's right — a single claim appears to be all that was required to print the rabbi's name, photograph, and the repugnant details of the allegation, even reporting it in one paragraph as fact, without qualifications such as "the former student claimed."
This is not a defense of the rabbi. Neither is it a denial of the accuser's claim, nor his sincerity. The former YU educator may be guilty, and it is an unspeakably horrible crime — as is any attempt to cover it up. Indeed, if he is found guilty, the victim has a right to immediate and immeasurable redress. Nothing here should be understood to say otherwise.
The present point, rather, is about the standard of evidence used to support such a public charge, one that is as damning as any courtroom verdict. Criminal verdicts require much more evidence than this, because if we irretrievably deprive someone of his place in society, we had better get ironclad proof, beyond a reasonable doubt. It should take nothing less to destroy someone.
No similar standard has ever been applied to the press, however. One reason, perhaps, is that reported claims, unlike courtroom verdicts, are not final — they can be challenged in the same court of public opinion. Except here. In the special case of sexual abuse of minors, the first appearance of the accusation will finish someone, tainting him forever. Would you hire or associate with an accused sex offender? Would you give him the benefit of the doubt? The revulsion — the instinctual disgust — evoked by the crime itself spreads beyond mere allegation, and to the name of anyone accused of it. Publication becomes the ultimate sentence.
That is not to say news stories should carry the same burden of proof as criminal conviction. It is only to suggest that there should be some standard of evidence, rather than — as in the YU teacher's case — the lowest standard imaginable: a single anonymous accuser. The accused's name and picture were splayed in prominent black and white, and subsequent reports lumped him with more proven offenders with phrases such as "teachers abused students over the years." Nobody even called attention to the scandalously thin evidence used to ruin him.
It wasn't always this way. The American Civil Liberties Union and others have campaigned vigorously for the rights of accused sex offenders to a fair hearing. Veteran civil rights activists recall the mid- 1980s, when a nationwide panic about child molestation led to unjust arrests of innocents in places such as Manhattan Beach, Calif. and Great Neck, Long Island. The nationwide lynch mob mentality provoked a backlash, with scores of liberal activists, including attorneys, clamoring to hold both press and legal authorities to at least minimal standards of evidence.
But you won't find those activist voices in the present drama. Why? I can think of one answer, and it isn't pretty: The accused is unattractive to civil rights activists. Men associated with insular, conservative institutions are not the sort of people we like to defend. The lesson is clear: If you work for an organization like Yeshiva University or Satmar (or their Christian and Muslim counterparts), don't even get accused of touching someone inappropriately. One accuser reaches the reporter, and you're done. The ACLU won't defend you, and nobody will try to corroborate your accuser's account.
Despite the fanfare, the recent exposé will probably have little impact on how sex abuse is treated in the Orthodox community. But the articles have already made at least one difference: They have helped lower the bar on what it takes to smear someone publicly and permanently with a charge of sex abuse. Orthodox educators may have been the targets of the day, and they may have been guilty for all we know. But under the new one-source-and-you're-it standard of proof, the innocent will be sure to suffer the same fate.

text: Paris - Google is having trouble getting it right in France.France's culture minister snubbed the launch of Google's latest project, the Paris-based Cultural Institute Lab, over a row about privacy. Aurelie Fillipetti, who was meant to come to the internet giant's latest cultural venture opening on Tuesday, cancelled at the last minute."I don't want to legitimise an operation that fails to address a number of outstanding questions we have with Google," Fillipetti told Le Monde newspaper, referring to a spat between Google and European governments earlier this year over transparency in collecting personal data.France and some other European countries think Google is not doing enough to stop the unauthorised collection of personal data through its online outlets.Google, which enjoys huge search engine market share in France and Europe, says it respects European laws and that its services help users.After the pullout by the culture minister, the junior minister for technology, Fleur Pellerin, attended Tuesday's event instead. The new cultural lab in Paris is meant as a brick-and-mortar space for cultural figures to meet and where people can view modern art.It's also seen by some as a gesture by Google toward France's cultural traditions, in a country that has challenged the California-based company over its book archiving activities, its use of French news content on search pages, and its use of personal data.But French authorities bristled again when Google Vice President Vint Cerf told the Fair Trade Commission last month that "it will be more and more difficult for us to guarantee respecting privacy".

2: Petit Trees (sketch)
|Petit Trees (sketch)
Title text: "Petit" being a reference to Le Petit Prince, which I only thought about halfway through the sketch
This comic does not present a particular point; it is just a picture drawn by Randall.
The Little Prince (in French Le Petit Prince) is a novella written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in 1943, about the titular Little Prince, who lives on an asteroid and visits other inhabited asteroids and eventually the Earth. The book is filled with drawings of the asteroid, the prince, and the travels they make. It is noted how, on occasion, baobab trees can begin to grow on these asteroids, and should they not be immediately uprooted, the growth of their roots would tear the asteroid apart. In this drawing, the roots are encircling the sphere, rather than piercing it, as Le Petit Prince describes.
The Little Prince has later been referenced both in 618: Asteroid and in 1350: Lorenz at the end of the space trip branch. It was also referenced to in the What If article Leap Seconds.

Reporter Detained In Ottawa On Orders Of Bilderberg Group
15 hours of hell at the hands of immigration who knew they were coming
By Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com
Alex Jones and his team were detained by Canadian immigration on orders of the Bilderberg Group for a 15 hour nightmare of interrogation, accusations and threats of arrests in anticipation of the conference in Ottawa which starts today.
The group were detained at 11:45pm last night and only released after 2pm today.
Customs openly told Alex as soon as they brought him into custody that the Bilderberg Group was aware of his arrival and that this was the reason for his detainment. All three members of the team were instantly detained despite going through different immigration desks.
Officials knew everything about Alex, even the fact that George W. Bush had once had him arrested in 1998.
"I was screamed at, I was cussed at, I was interrogated," said Alex.
Jail threats were issued as officials seized and searched through Alex's equipment for 15 hours. He was told that if any trace of pornography was found on his three computers that he would be arrested.
"They were talking about how I was a criminal — they hooked our laptop computers up and said that if they found any porn, even mainstream porn, that it's illegal to take it across lines and that we'd be going to jail," said Alex, thanking God that no trace of any porn was found on his office computers.
Searches continued throughout the night and again in the morning.
Immigrations officials seemed to take a gleeful satisfaction in detaining the team, claiming they were liars and not part of the media despite one admitting to having seen an Alex Jones documentary. Accusations of drugs and weapons smuggling were thrown around without recourse.
"You Americans shit all over us Canadians think you can do anything you want to us," said one immigration official who was acting more like a drill sergeant.
Towards the end of the ordeal national media, including the Ottawa Citizen and CBC, got wind of what was unfolding and sent journalists to the airport to talk to Alex.
A CBC journalist vouched for the fact that Alex was in the media and that she was planning on interviewing him, after also being subjected to a barrage of questions by officials.
At this point immigration officials sharply changed their attitude, reversed a likely decision to deport the team and by the end were apologetic and conciliatory about the entire issue.
Alex would like to make it clear that the immigration officials on the whole were just doing what they were told in trying to prove who Alex was and they should not be the focus of any vitriol. Alex himself admits that his behavior was not perfect and he smarted off a couple of times when he should have remained quiet. The major element of this story is that the pressure was brought to bear by Bilderberg.
The point to emphasize again is that it was brazenly stated that the Bilderberg Group were behind the decision to detain Alex and his team. Bilderberg have acquired a notorious reputation of harassing journalists, including Jim Tucker and Daniel Estulin, who are simply trying to report on a meeting of the world's most influential powerbrokers.
The immigrations officials said that their reason for detaining Alex was because they feared he was in the country to infiltrate the Bilderberg meeting.
Since being allowed to enter the country the team have been watched and tracked by several nefarious individuals and also followed by car.
The team booked a decoy hotel in order fool Bilderberg security as to their real location. The decoy hotel has been receiving numerous calls from individuals within Bilderberg's Brooke Street hotel — despite the fact that Alex told no one he was staying there.
Further reports on this incident and developments from the Bilderberg conference itself will feature here over the next few days.

Roasted Cherry Tomatoes Recipes
Oven Roasted Tomato Risotto Recipe
The summer weather in the Bay Area hasn't been so great this year, and on top of that, an infestation of gophers in our garden forced us to grow fewer tomatoes in small planters this year. Not only are there fewer varieties, but because of the lack of heat the plants have not been all that prolific. I gathered a couple of handfuls of the few ripe cherry tomatoes I could find and I was determined to do something special with them.
To start, I slowly roasted them in the oven. I could have stopped there and just served them in a salad, but I opted to make my husband's favorite comfort food: risotto. Risotto is extraordinarily versatile (I've developed multiple variations) and perfect for any occasion. For this version, I used Carnaroli rice, which holds its shape better than Arborio rice. For a bit more texture, I mixed in melon-seed macaroni (similar rice-shaped pasta). The combination has a creamy mouthfeel, so no heavy cream is necessary. I colored the dish with sharp yellow Cheddar cheese and served it to all the vegetarians in the house. I think it ended up being a perfect send off for the fruits of our labor.

French Green Beans with Oven Roasted Tomatoes
Haricots verts with oven roasted tomatoes are a great side dish. If you're in the market for a great green bean recipe for Thanksgiving, this might be it! It may look simple, but it's absolutely bursting with flavor.
Making the dish takes quite a long time but requires very little work. The tomatoes are caramelized in balsamic vinegar, palm sugar and garlic and very slowly roasted for 2 hours. French green beans are very fine and tender, so they require very little cooking. I sautéed them in caramelized onions and added the tomatoes at the last minute. The crunch from the greens and the softness from the tomatoes make a wonderful combination without packing a lot of calories.

More Bridal Shower Party Themes
Create an atmosphere of luxury, indulgence, and tranquillity. Adorn the room with lots of lace, ribbons, flowers, potpourri, and candles. Hang a paper parasol over the bride's chair and give her a corsage to wear (hint: try to find out what she'll be wearing and get a corsage to match). Put an open hope chest in the room and fill it with the gifts. Strands of small white lights hung around the room will add a nice sparkle to the scene.
Perfume; bath soaps; body splash; a robe; a loofah; gift certificates for a massage, manicure, pedicure, facial, or a visit to a spa; bath oils; padded satin hangers; a bottle of champagne; bubble bath; a fancy shower cap.
Games and Activities
Fill a decorative jar with candy. Have everyone write down the number of individual candies they think are in the jar. At the end of the evening, reveal the correct number, and award the jar and its contents to the person whose guess came closest.
The emphasis should be on decadence. Quiche, cucumber sandwiches, dessert coffees, fancy teas, liqueurs, and truffles all add to the sense of indulgence.
Party Favors
Wrap fancy soaps or potpourri in tulle netting and tie it off with a ribbon. You can use each bag as a placecard by tying a name tag to the ribbon.

NAIA Wrestler of the Week ? No. 5
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jameel Bryant of Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) has been named the NAIA National Wrestler of the Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Bryant, who is the third Blue Raider to win the award this season, was selected based on his performances from Feb. 3 – 9 and was chosen out of a pool of nominees from the four Qualifying Groups.
Bryant, a native of St. Petersburg, Fla., logged a 3-0 record to help the Blue Raiders to a 2-1 record for the week, including dual wins over then-No. 10 Cumberland (Tenn.) and then-No. 20 Life (Ga.). Lindsey Wilson's lone loss for the week came against then-No. 8 Indiana Tech. In the Blue Raiders' Feb. 4 dual against Cumberland, the 184-pound senior knocked off No. 3 Cody Linton by a 3-2 decision. Bryant carried that momentum into last Friday's events, earning victories against No. 5 Trey Hicks of Life, 3-2, and Indiana Tech's L.J. Grayson, 15-8.
On the year, Bryant, who is the defending NAIA national champion at 184 pounds, is 21-4 and 13-1 in duals. He is also a perfect 10-0 against NAIA competition.

The performance of napkins is nowadays improved substantially by embedding granules of a superabsorbent into the cellulose matrix. In this paper a continuous model for the liquid transport in such an Ultra Napkin is proposed. Its mean feature is a nonlinear diffusion equation strongly coupled with an ODE describing a reversible absorbtion process. An efficient numerical method based on a symmetrical time splitting and a finite difference scheme of ADI-predictor-corrector type has been developed to solve these equations in a three dimensional setting. Numerical results are presented that can be used to optimize the granule distribution.
Cloudy inhomogenities in artificial fabrics are graded by a fast method which is based on a Laplacian pyramid decomposition of the fabric image. This band-pass representation takes into account the scale character of the cloudiness. A quality measure of the entire cloudiness is obtained as a weighted mean over the variances of all scales.
The ideas of texture analysis by means of the structure tensor are combined with the scale-space concept of anisotropic diffusion filtering. In contrast to many other nonlinear diffusion techniques, the proposed one uses a diffusion tensor instead of a scalar diffusivity. This allows true anisotropic behaviour. The preferred diffusion direction is determined according to the phase angle of the structure tensor. The diffusivity in this direction is increasing with the local coherence of the signal. This filter is constructed in such a way that it gives a mathematically well-funded scale-space representation of the original image. Experiments demonstrate its usefulness for the processing of interrupted one-dimensional structures such as fingerprint and fabric images.
A survey on continuous, semidiscrete and discrete well-posedness and scale-space results for a class of nonlinear diffusion filters is presented. This class does not require any monotony assumption (comparison principle) and, thus, allows image restoration as well. The theoretical results include existence, uniqueness, continuous dependence on the initial image, maximum-minimum principles, average grey level invariance, smoothing Lyapunov functionals, and convergence to a constant steady state.

USA's Tom takes break from team to complete college degree
Tom first enrolled at Stanford in 1999, where she attended through 2002, but did not graduate with her class. According to Stanford, she left 50 units shy of completing her major in December 2002, her last term of college athletics eligibility.
Although she says she doesn't exactly know what she wants to do with her degree, she's enjoying being at Stanford.
"It's comforting even ten years later," she said during an interview with Standford. "That's one thing about Standford thats very special. It opens its arms to a lot of different people and I think that's one thing that makes Stanford the place it is; because all the individuals are so unique and its a place for them to grow."
Throughout her education, Tom was recognized as being the youngest member of the US Olympic Women's Volleyball Team, when she competed at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney at age 19. She was also a four-time AVCA All-America First-Team and two-time AVCA Player of the Year. She continued to play in three additional Olympic Games in Athens, Beijing and London to become a four-time Olympian, accruing to USA Volleyball.
Earlier this month, Tom was honored with induction into the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame, as one of the most prolific volleyball players in school history.

In arbitration, each side in a dispute presents its case, including evidence to a neutral third party called an "arbitrator" rather than to a judge. The arbitrator issues an award based on the evidence, just as a judge would in a court. Although evidence is presented, arbitration is a less formal process than a court litigation.
Arbitration may be "binding" or "nonbinding" depending on what the parties agree to before beginning the process. "Nonbinding arbitration" means that the disputants in the case are not required to accept the arbitrator's award; they may request a new hearing in court. In binding arbitration, the disputants agree that the arbitrator's decision is final.
The American Arbitration Association (AAA) is a public service, nonprofit organization offering a broad range of dispute resolution services to business executives, attorneys, individual employees, trade associations, unions, management, consumers, families, communities, and all levels of government. These services include administration of such dispute resolution methods as arbitration, mediation, mini-trial, impartial elections, and other voluntary settlement procedures.

There has been some conversation regarding the "bad" arbitrators. Please understand that we do make mistakes. And I know I've made a few as an arbitrator. I'm sorry. And, as an indexer who has had some entries considered incorrect, I understand how indexers feel.
HOWEVER, please realize that we arbitrators would never see your indexing entries IF the other indexer agreed with you. These just never come to our screen. So, if you want to ask other indexers to improve their indexing, fine. If you want to ask arbitrators to improve their arbitration, fine. I truly believe that each of us is honestly doing the best we can.
While there are some batches I arbitrate that take very little time, there are others that I spend many, many minutes trying to figure out the difference between the vowels, or consonants, etc. And, I truly stress more when I download a batch as an arbitrator than when I download a batch to index. Why? Because I know when I index that someone else either will agree with me and the arbitrator won't see the batch, or that the other indexer and I will have different entries and the arbitrator will correct my "error" to the best of his/her ability. So, as an indexer, I know that someone else is looking at it. That's reassuring.
There is a request for more arbitrators. But new indexers aren't going to sign up if they feel that they are going to be criticized for every decision they make. After all, for each entry I arbitrate, there is one entry considered "right" and one entry that is considered "wrong." That's just the way it is.
I'll continue to index. I'll continue to arbitrate. And I'll continue to do my best, as I'm sure all of the rest of you are doing. Thank you all for your efforts. We're make tremendous progress on the 1940 census but remember, there are many more records to index after the census is complete (or even now if you need a change of pace.) So, thank you again.

- Mercedes
'We have both made mistakes' - Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton has admitted both he and Nico Rosberg have made mistakes during their championship campaign this year, saying it would "be wrong to point fingers" following their collision at Spa-Francorchamps.
Rosberg took responsibility for the clash and apologised to Hamilton, Mercedes and the fans on Friday. Both drivers were summoned to a meeting with team bosses Toto Wolff and Paddy Lowe in Brackley, after which the team issued a statement saying Rosberg had been disciplined but the drivers were still free to race.
Following several incidents this year, including engine mapping controversies in Bahrain and Spain, Rosberg's Monaco qualifying lap and Hamilton disobeying team orders in Hungary, Hamilton admitted both drivers had made mistakes this year.
"Today we came together as a team and discussed our differences," he said in a statement. "Nico and I accept that we have both made mistakes and I feel it would be wrong to point fingers and say which one is worse than the other. What's important is how we rise as a team from these situations. We win and we lose together and, as a team, we will emerge stronger.
"There is a deep foundation that still exists for me and Nico to work from, in spite of our difficult times and differences. We have the greatest team, the strongest group of individuals who have worked their hands to the bone to give us the best car you see us racing today. It's important that we never forget that and give them the results they deserve. Today, Toto and Paddy told us clearly how we must race against each other from now on in a fair and respectful manner.
"The fans want to see a clean fight until the end of the season and that's what we want to give them. It's going to be a tough road from here but championships have been won from much further back than I am now. And I promise you that I will be giving everything and more to win this for my team, for my family and for my fans."

Move your backups to a SAN
Speed, communication and block-orientation are just a few of the reasons that users are moving their backups from Ethernet-based LANs to Fibre Channel SANs.
With the growing availability of native Fibre Channel (FC) backup devices -- such as tape drives -- and the ever shrinking backup window, moving backups from Ethernet-based LANs to FC SANs is becoming increasingly attractive for midsized and large organizations.
The major advantage of moving your backups from the LAN to a FC SAN is speed. FC SANs start at 1 gigabit per second (Gbps), with 2 Gbps speeds common and interoperable 4 Gbps available at very little additional cost to 2 Gbps SANs. This provides rawer throughput than the typical LAN.
However, that is only one of the SAN's speed advantages. Backing up over a SAN makes more efficient use of resources such as bandwidth. This is because the data being backed up is more uniform than run-of-the-mill LAN traffic and the SAN is tuned for that traffic. Further, SANs are typically block-oriented systems rather than file-oriented. This means that the SAN is dealing with data in standard-sized chunks, which adds more uniformity to the process. Also, LAN traffic is inherently bursty and LANs have to be set up for that. SANs are designed to handle constant high transfer rates, which are a much better match for the continuous maximum-speed transfers involved in backups.
The drawbacks to switching from Ethernet to FC SAN for backups are cost and complexity. FC equipment is significantly more expensive than Ethernet equipment, at least at common Ethernet speeds. In addition, a FC SAN is more complex than an Ethernet LAN. However, in most cases the SAN isn't installed simply for backup, which lowers the effective cost of the SAN. This is especially true since FC SANs tend to be rather granular and it may take little, if any, additional investment in a FC network to support backups.
Do you know…
A good way to speed up your backups?

As the concealed-carry bill sits on the governor's desk awaiting his signature, local communities are preparing for the implications the legislation might have.
The state Legislature signed off on concealed-carry legislation during its recent session under order of a federal appeals court. The bill is now before Gov. Pat Quinn, who hasn't indicated whether he'll sign it ahead of a newly extended July 9 cutoff.
But municipalities will barely have time to wait for the governor's ink to dry before being faced with some decisions. Local leaders will have 10 days from the time the governor signs the bill to decide whether to establish a ban on assault weapons. Not doing so would mean they forfeit the opportunity to enact one later.
"If you do not have an assault weapon ordinance in place within 10 days of Gov. Quinn signing the bill, you would not have the ability to have an assault weapon ordinance in the future," said Brad Stewart, an attorney with Zukowski, Rogers, Flood and McArdle, which represents a number of local municipalities. "This has implications not just today, but five years from today when [municipalities] may wish they had a ban in place."
Stewart specializes in municipal law and has been studying the concealed-carry legislation in preparation for its potential enactment.
"I think every municipality – if they haven't already – is going to question what they can and should do to be prepared for the changes that are going to come with this
legislation," Stewart said. "Not necessarily good or bad, but all these things we discuss involve some changes to law enforcement procedures, to the laws that currently exist."
Crystal Lake Mayor Aaron Shepley said any City Council discussion on the pending legislation should be done in the public, "so people can hear what our views are."
While it hasn't come up at any recent meetings, that doesn't mean city leaders aren't thinking about it.
"We're not in a wait-and-see position, we're in a gather information and then let's see what happens," Shepley said. "… Whatever we do, we'll do it armed with the facts."
Some say that law enforcement will undergo the biggest changes to their day-to-day operations. Authorities say officers will need more education and training should a concealed-carry law get enacted.
But Harvard Police Chief Dan Kazy-Garey said his department already takes the approach that "anybody could be carrying, and those people that shouldn't be carrying are carrying now."
McHenry Deputy Police Chief John Birk said he is more concerned about the "what ifs."
There are limitations on who can successfully receive a concealed-carry permit, but what about those who shouldn't have one, he said. Those include criminals who haven't been caught committing a crime or found guilty of a felony, a person who has no documented history of their mental illness, or someone with a pending court case.
They probably shouldn't be carrying a firearm, he said, but likely will be able to. This could create scary situations for officers.
"Only time is going to tell," he said.

Engine:2-cylinder, 4-stroke, spark-ignition engine, 75° V arrangement, liquid-cooled
Horsepower @ RPM:180
Energy:Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
Displacement:1301 cc
Top Speed:137 mph (Est.)
In the form of the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R, KTM has crowned its legendary Naked Bike model range with a machine that redefines the term 'Streetfighter'. One look at its impressive performance data and aggressive design is enough to see that the 1290 R is the most extreme Super Duke ever. Thanks to unbeatable performance in conjunction with the versatility provided by the adjustable riding modes and PowerParts setups, pure riding pleasure is pre-programmed - from the racetrack to the city and everywhere in between. The new KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R perfectly embodies the KTM philosophy: endless power, highest precision, perfect ergonomics, finest ingredients, not a gram too many, simply "Ready to Race"! The KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R – high-tech in an aggressive design with unprecedented functionality and razor-sharp sportiness reduced to the essentials. The new KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R transforms optimum performance with maximum safety into ultimate riding pleasure.
2014 KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R ABS Features and Benefits:
Perfect Handling:
Mechanics can be so beautiful – above all, when designers can draw on unlimited resources. Whether it be the tubular space frame, the single-sided swingarm, the fork or the shock absorber, the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R consists of only the finest components. Perfectly arranged and tuned with one another, for only so are such excellent steering precision or such gigantic reserves created.
Single-Sided Swingarm
The jaw-droppingly beautiful, light alloy, single-sided swingarm on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R is not only the lightest in its class, but also particularly precisely manufactured and generously dimensioned – a potent partner when the Super Duke R unleashes its torque and riding dynamics. The rear wheel is fitted to an axle 50 mm in diameter and bolted in place with a 60 mm central wheel nut. The design of the swingarm is adapted optimally to the tubular space frame in terms of flexural behaviour and stiffness. A high-precision, eccentric adjustment is used for tensioning the chain.
Shock Absorber
The directly articulated, high-quality WP pressurised-gas central rear shock with external remote reservoir offers numerous setting options over a wide set-up range. Compression and rebound damping can be regulated independently – with separate settings for high-speed and low-speed compression damping. In addition, the spring preload can be adjusted by hand.
Wheels and Tyres
With seamlessly wound tread strips, the tailor-made Dunlop Sportsmart² tyres on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R enter new technological territory. For even wear, perfect steering behaviour, grip in every situation and fantastic ride stability. Perfect tyres for perfect riding pleasure. The tubeless sports tyres are fitted on extremely lightweight, light-alloy wheels manufactured in a low-pressure die casting process. Not only do the lightweight wheels make the bike lighter overall, they also minimise the unsprung masses and moment of inertia, with a positive impact on the handling and ride dynamics of the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R.
Telescopic Fork
Thanks to multiple setting options for spring preload and damping, the extremely stable and torsion-resistant upside-down telescopic fork from WP Suspension on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R also enables optimum adjustment of the chassis to suit the respective operational use and preferences of the rider. Not only can rebound and compression damping be set separately, but also completely independently from each other thanks to the 'split principle' (the left fork tube controls compression and the right one rebound damping). This allows riders to find their desired set-up quicker and more precisely.
Power Without End:
Engine Management
The electronic Keihin engine management system with twin throttle valves regulates the modern electronic fuel injection system, focussing on maximum power with predictable engine characteristics and spontaneous responsiveness with controllable throttle response. The throttle body has been enlarged from 52 to 56 mm in the area of the throttle valves for the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R in order to optimise power development.
The responsiveness and free-revving nature of the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R's engine are also enhanced by the very low reciprocating weight of its crankshaft. Moreover, the flow-optimised shape of the crank webs boosts the particularly low-loss running of the crank drive, with casing evacuation improved by use of a third oil pump.
The engine on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R originates from one of the most powerful and refined V2 power units of our times, from the engine of the KTM 1190 RC8 R superbike. KTM engineers increased the displacement of the LC8 powerplant, not simply by boring it out, but by well-balanced enlargement of both bore and stroke. Weighing in at around 62 kg, the extremely slim four-valve unit is one of the lightest big twins in the world, yet it still develops no less than 180 hp peak power and 144 Nm maximum torque.
Cylinder Heads
A major contribution is made to the outstanding performance of the LC8 engine on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R by its state-of-the-art DOHC four-valve cylinder heads with twin plug ignition. The twin ignition system controls the ignition sparks of both spark plugs in each cylinder head independently of each other using separate characteristic maps, thereby ensuring both more efficient combustion and a smoother combustion sequence. The result is more power, more torque, smoother running, even better controllability, higher fuel economy and lower emissions. Two overhead camshafts in each cylinder head use DLC-coated cam followers to operate four valves that control the charge cycle via flow-optimised ducts.
The forged piston structure on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R, borrowed from Formula 1 technology, results in a high loading capacity, despite the extremely short and lightweight design. Although they have grown in diameter by three millimetres compared with those of the 1190 RC8 R, the pistons on the Super Duke R are a whole 47 grams lighter. In this way, reciprocating weight is minimised, thereby maximising the responsiveness and free-revving nature of the engine. Furthermore, the piston skirts have a state-of-the-art, hard-anodised finish. Not only does this minimise friction, it is also particularly hard-wearing with a consequently positive impact on durability.
Slipper Clutch
The slipper clutch on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R automatically takes the pressure from the clutch plates when engine back-torque becomes too high. This effectively prevents rear wheel chatter when braking sharply. In addition, the clutch increases pressure on the clutch plates with increasing engine torque, thereby allowing softer clutch springs to be used. This reduces the hand strength required for hydraulic actuation of the clutch – it can now be controlled with just one finger.
Exhaust System
The KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R's completely newly designed exhaust system is made entirely from rustproof stainless steel. Hundreds of test bench runs and complex simulations ensured that the exhaust system, which accommodates the regulated catalytic converter in the presilencer, contributes decisively to the extremely smooth torque curve and excellent emission values of the powerful twin-cylinder.
Everything In Sight, Everything Under Control:
The KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R supplies its rider with all necessary and desirable information on a state-of-the-art, clearly arranged instrument cluster from VDO. Core data is displayed on a central instrument that consists of an analogue rev counter with integrated, adjustable gearshift light and an LCD display. This display is dominated by a digital speedometer and supplemented with a digital clock, a gear indicator, bar graphs for coolant temperature and fuel level plus the display for the selected ride mode. A second LCD display is positioned to the left of the central instrument, which serves the purpose of conveying important additional information and displaying numerous menu pages as a screen for the on-board computer. Everything is tidy, clean, clear, intuitive and simple to operate – while riding as well.
Mode Switch
The on-board computer's menu pages are selected and operated using the four control keys of the mode switch on the left handlebar grip. It's very simple and intuitive: "up" and "down" through the menu selection, select the desired menu item with the left button, confirm it with the right, job done! The Exit key on the left of the mode switch can be pressed at any time to return to the previous menu level. A user can learn menu navigation in no time at all.
Have you ever thought about seat position? Stack and reach, leg arch length, seat height, seat foam, knee angle and knee contact, handlebar width, position and offset, the shore hardness of grip rubbers, tall riders, short riders, fat or skinny – simply everything is as it should be on the new 1290 Super Duke R. Simply get on and feel comfortable. Everyone. Male or female.
User Value
Surprises are best when nobody expects them. For example, the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R is very economical with fuel. And it only needs to be serviced every 15,000 km. And it comes with a daytime running light as standard, amazing wind protection plus sufficient comfort for longer trips.
Maximum Performance, Optimum Safety:
Ride-mode technology provides the rider with a choice of three ride modes on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R, which can be selected quickly and simply with the mode switch on the handlebar. In conjunction with the ride-by-wire system, the selected ride mode influences the general responsiveness of the engine, its maximum peak power and traction control (MTC) intervention. "Street" and "Sport" modes deliver a full 180 hp and appropriately potent power development with a sporty traction setting. By contrast, "Rain" mode limits maximum output to 100 hp with smoother performance and traction characteristics.
Rider Assistance
The unique combination of a sensational engine with a perfectly balanced chassis supplies the rider with unlimited riding pleasure and a high level of safety in all conditions on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R. The prerequisites for absolute predictability and highest safety levels are provided not least by the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R's leading-edge assistance systems: ride-mode technology, ride-by-wire, lean-sensitive traction control (MTC) and Bosch 9M+ two-channel ABS.
Instead of the electronic injection system's throttle valves being controlled by cables, ride-by-wire processes throttle twist grip movements with the help of electronic sensors and activates the throttle valves accordingly using servo motors. However, the ride-by-wire system on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R achieves even more: It electronically translates the throttle commands of the rider into optimum throttle valve positions for the current riding situation. Choking, jolting and involuntary wheelies are a thing of the past.
Traction Control (MTC)
The MTC (Motorcycle Traction Control) lean-sensitive traction control system reacts immediately if the rotational speed of the rear wheel is disproportionate to the riding situation. In a matter of milliseconds, MTC reduces the engine output with an extremely smooth, barely perceptible intervention at the throttle valves, until the system has reduced slippage to optimum proportions for the selected ride mode and current angle of lean. Depending on the selected ride mode, MTC traction control allows different levels of traction slip at the rear wheel. In "Street" mode somewhat more than in "Rain" mode, while slight power slides are allowed when exiting curves in "Sport" mode. All this means that the rider can concentrate fully on the run of the road and other road users – the guarantee for maximum performance and ultimate riding pleasure, but also a decisive contribution to active safety. For particularly ambitious riders, who feel like enjoying the breathtaking propulsion of the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R without any electronic assistance, the traction control can also be switched off.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
Like no other ABS, the Bosch 9M+ two-channel, anti-lock braking system on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R stands for extremely short braking distances with optimum vehicle control. The system modulates brake pressure in such a way that locking of the wheels is prevented perfectly and the endo tendency is minimised when braking hard on surfaces with good grip. Depending on the selected ride mode (Sport, Street, Rain), the traction control system intervenes sportily/delayed to safely/undelayed. For racetrack use, ABS can be deactivated at both the front and rear wheel. In "Supermoto" mode, only the rear wheel is freed from ABS intervention.
Front Brake
More than adequate deceleration is ensured at the front wheel on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R by a Brembo twin-disc brake with two floating, 320 mm, perforated brake discs, two radially mounted, M50 four-piston monoblock fixed callipers and a radial hand pump. The spacing between hand brake lever and handlebar is adjustable so that the lever is within easy reach for every rider.
Rear Brake
The front brake receives effective support from the disc brake on the rear wheel, which features a floating perforated disc and a four-piston fixed calliper. The enormous potential of the Brembo brakes can be exploited to the full on the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R thanks to its sportily tuned anti-lock braking system.
Steering Damper
With its extraordinary stability and razor-sharp precision, the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R doesn't really need a steering damper. However, on a motorcycle with 180 hp, the front wheel does become light when riding hard and then any pothole or little bump in the road can cause handlebar kick-back. The KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R is therefore equipped for safety reasons with an equally reliable and sensitive, hydraulic steering damper from WP Suspension.

Heidelberg Project
Photo 1 of 29
In an effort to revitalize the neighborhood where he grew up, Tyree Guyton, along with his grandfather and former wife, transformed Heidelberg St. into a massive, grassroots art installation. The project began in 1986, and despite the city of Detroit's efforts to demolish parts of the installation twice during the 1990's, the project is still going strong.
Vacant lots and abandoned homes have been transformed into "gigantic art sculptures" as well as surrounding streets, sidewalks, and trees. In this example, literally hundreds of stuffed animals are nailed to the exterior of this vacant home.

Former Kent State Teammates Saban, Pinkel Meet Saturday
TUSCALOOSA, AL (AP) -- Former Kent State teammates Nick Saban and Gary Pinkel will roam opposing sidelines
Saban leads No. 1 Alabama into Columbia, Mo., to face Pinkel's Missouri Tigers on Saturday. Pinkel was a star tight end for Kent State's 1972 Mid-American Conference championship team while Saban played defensive back.
For former Golden Flashes and Washington coach Don James, "it's like having two sons out there."
This collision course was set when Missouri joined the Southeastern Conference for this season.
The two coaches speak highly of one another, but Pinkel says they didn't hang out during their college days.
They're the coaching hotshots from a team that also included Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Lambert. They both worked as graduate assistants under James.
Pinkel succeeded Saban as Toledo's head coach in 1991.

Saturday Night Live just ran a pretty hilarious parody ad of Verizon Wireless' recent TV advertisements, The Verge points out.
The ad rags on Verizon's inability to truly explain what 4G LTE is and how it will actually affect your life. It's worth a minute of your time.

Will Wisconsin voters make their decision in the June 5 recall election based on their pocketbooks or their principles? For everyone except union organizers, that choice won't be necessary. Wisconsin voters can cast their ballots to rebuke Democrats for an unnecessary recall as well as reward Walker for saving them a lot of money — according to a study coming out this week, as much as a billion dollars:
While a lightning rod for controversy and recall, Wisconsin's Act 10 has paid significant dividends to taxpayers, according to a new analysis by the Beacon Hill Institute for Public Policy Research, at Suffolk University in Boston.
Act 10, which curbed collective bargaining for most unionized public employees, in the whole has saved taxpayers more than $1 billion, according to The Economic Impacts of the Wisconsin Budget Repair Act. The study is slated for release this week by Beacon Hill Institute, a prominent free market think tank.
What the analysis found is that without the law, which in part requires covered public employees to contribute more to their benefits and holds wage increases to the rate of inflation, Badger State governments would have been forced to raise taxes or make deep job cuts to meet budget expenses.
In the end, the PEU reform saved jobs in the public sector that otherwise would have been lost, the study will show:
"The cost-saving measures prevented painful tax increases that would have damaged the state's private economy resulting in slower job and income growth," said Paul Bachman, BHI director of research. "Moreover, the provisions avoided further painful layoffs of school teachers and other public employees."
Scott Walker makes that case explicitly today in a column for the Capital Times, while giving more of a 30,000-foot summary of his fiscal record:
We could not wait to make the necessary changes to the way government was run in order to bring us back from the brink of insolvency.
When I ran for governor in 2010 I made a series of bold promises to the people of Wisconsin. I told them that I would help businesses create 250,000 jobs before the end of my first term. I pledged to rein in out-of-control spending and I gave my word that I would treat the taxpayer's money as my own.
Since I took my oath of office, I have stood by my word and made good on these promises. We have helped businesses grow and in the process created more than 33,000 new jobs in Wisconsin. We are moving in the right direction and still have work to do, but we are well on our way to meet and surpass that goal. Wisconsin's unemployment rate, at 6.7 percent, is the lowest it has been since 2008, and people are getting back to work.
Spending has been curtailed and at the same time, without raising taxes, we have invested the largest influx of money into Medicaid in state history. We have balanced our budget and still make protecting Wisconsin's most vulnerable a priority.
We have laid the foundation for a strong fiscal future, saving more than a billion dollars thanks to our reforms. In order to maintain the consistent growth we have seen since I have taken office, we must continue to move forward toward prosperity.
At the same time, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel makes another case altogether about Walker's recall opponent Tom Barrett. Barrett has been bragging about lowering the rate of violent crime in Milwaukee during his tenure as mayor. However, an MJS investigative report shows that the city underreported violent crime for years — and that the rate has actually increased under Barrett:
When Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn touted the city's fourth-straight year of falling crime in February, hundreds of beatings, stabbings and child abuse cases were missing from the count, a Journal Sentinel investigation has found.
More than 500 incidents since 2009 were misreported to the FBI as minor assaults and not included in the city's violent crime rate, the investigation found. That tally is based on a review of cases that resulted in charges – only about one-fifth of all reported crimes.
Yet the misreported cases found in 2011 alone are enough that Flynn would have been announcing a 1.1% increase in violent crime in February, instead of a 2.3% decline from the reported 2010 numbers, which also include errors. …
At the request of the Journal Sentinel, FBI crime experts reviewed these and dozens of other incidents and confirmed that they should have been labeled as aggravated assaults. In addition to the more than 500 misreported incidents, the investigation found at least 800 more that fit the same pattern but could not be confirmed through available public records. The Journal Sentinel has submitted an open records request for those cases.
The misclassified crimes included cases where perpetrators threatened to kill victims; stabbed or cut them with knives; and beat them with canes, crowbars and hammers.
Be sure to watch the video at the link, which explains how crime should be reported to the FBI. It's not the kind of question that Barrett wants to be answering two weeks before he makes a pitch to take over the state's finances, especially after outside researchers verify Walker's figures on cost savings through the PEU reforms.

Internet Librarian: Reinventing Spaces & Places
Internet Librarian: Reinventing Spaces & Places
Erik Boekesteijn, Jaap Van de Geer, Jeff Wisniewski, Paul R. Pival
Do we let our spaces work hard enough for us? What are successful spaces doing? We don't have any space… And the successful spaces we see have similarities: flexibility, creation, collaboration, and tradition (maybe).
We cannot save libraries by doing more of what we have done before because the outcome will be the same. What are the roots of librarianship? Supporting and encouraging creation. In our spaces, then, we need to move away from spaces that are simply used to manage content to spaces that facilitate collaboration and creation.
Six years ago Erik & Jaap set out to build the most modern library in the world with DOK in Delft, Netherlands. They drove across the U.S. collecting best practices from various libraries. Jaap recommends a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad about financial education. Don't work for money – see if money can work for you. We don't let our spaces work for us – we work for them. Apple is the rich dad; the library is the poor dad. The Amsterdam Apple store is packed with people using services while the Amsterdam Public Library (a gorgeous, expensive new space) is largely devoid of people.
A start-up in the Netherlands, Viewsy, lets you measure and manage foot traffic. That might be an interesting thing to take a look at. We have to be brave in a relentless focus on the user.
What are successful spaces doing? The Library of 100 Talents in the North of Holland. If we want to go after our future users, we need to talk to our teens. They had the teens work with a designer and architect to design their own teen space. The TFDL Digital Media Commons provides a creation space – 12 Mac Pros with full A/V editing suites, 4 soundproof editing suites with full AV capabilities, and a DJ Mixing Board, collaborative workrooms with TeamSpot group collaboration software.
The Fountaindale Public Library is establishing a 7,000 square foot digital media content creation space.
The Westport Connecticut Public Library MakerSpace is in the middle of the library. They have an engineer in residence who works in the MakerSpace and helps folks design things on CAD, use the MakerBot, etc.
The University of Washington Research Commons provides collaborative working spaces where students can share ideas in public locations, promoting peer learning.
McMaster University Lyons Media Centre has a gaming room that supports 3 academic programs that study game creation and use.
Collaborative spaces need flexibility and be able to have multiple uses.
You can rent out spaces as well, as the Assen Public Library (Netherlands) has done. They built a television studio and hired their own staff to record programs, and they rent the space out when it's not in use by students.
The keys to success – You have to start by listening to your users and involving the community by making them a part of the library. The DOK library is about fun – gathering stories, creating fun spaces. Their "wall of screens" displays local stories that people can add their own content to through their library card and a special surface touch table. DOK has some truly awesome stuff…everywhere you look there's something different to see, to do, to experience. (Sarah's note: It is my favorite library I've been to, and I've been to A LOT.)
The Arhus Library in Denmark (the UrbanMedia Space) has a design for the exterior of the space, but zero definitive plans for the inside space yet because they think if they plan now it will be outdated by the time it's built. The vision is to create a unique space for cooperation, a place for dialogue, knowledge, ideas, and inspiration, an open and informal learning space, and a unique place for children. People are the key.
We need flexible libraries and spaces, as well as flexible teams.
Flexible furniture: with casters, grommets, lightweight, collapsible, movable
We need some people with a smart plan on using the space well – filling it for events.
We also need more wifi than we can possibly imagine we will actually need.
Have raised floors if you're building or renovating a space – power and network everywhere, no matter where the furniture ends up. Our users want two things: network and power.
We need agile walls (example of University of North Texas). "De-mountable walls."
iPads are replacing all of their children's gaming desktop computers at the North Shore Public Library. This freed up space and the iPads are much easier to manage than the computers were. Plus, the games are cheaper on the iPads, and users love them more.
There is a product called the Media Surfer kiosk that you can configure to dispense a device with the swipe of a library card. It wipes the iPad, requires no staff mediation (but doesn't clean the screen—which would be nice :P).
We need to start thinking of our spaces as products and services that we can market. The Stanford University Libraries lists their libraries, but have a "which library is open now" feature and advertise the library as a place to study…not just a place to go get a book.
Jeff highlighted a library in Washington that had created a scale of noise, and different levels of noise were allowed on different floors.
So if we have no space. 2/3 of library budgets are tied up in staff and rent. We have to start thinking about how we can make the library work harder for us. We need to reclaim space—take space away from things that aren't working and aren't being used. For many libraries, that's a big portion of your print collection. You can also share space—Nova Southeastern University Library was building a shared facility with the Public Library.
The Amsterdam has a Library in the Airport with a focus on books and videos on the Netherlands. SO SMART.
We don't work for books. We let the stories and the visitors work for us. The Assen Library has a conveyer belt built into a recently returned bookshelf that you can target by subject (somehow, I'm not sure I understand how—that's pretty cool though!).
The National Library of Singapore is collecting stories from their residents. And that's what libraries should be doing.

More than 350,000 Chicago Public School students returned to class Wednesday after seven days off during the city's first teacher strike in 25 years.
As kids were dropped off at schools where teachers picketed last week, spirits were high and parents called the strike's end "one big stress relief."
"I was getting bored," said Jared Smith, a student at Frazier International Magnet School, a Track E school that started the year weeks before the strike. "I'm glad to be back."
"Enough was enough," said science teacher Pannha Sann. "I'm so glad to be here today."
That feeling was held over from the night before when the Chicago Teachers Union's nearly 800-member House of Delegates voted overwhelmingly to suspend the strike.
"We feel very positive about moving forward," CTU president Karen Lewis said Tuesday. "We feel grateful that we have a united union, and that when a union moves together we have amazing things happen."
Delegates voted on the tentative deal article-by-article, and one point received a standing ovation: the freedom for teachers to create their own lesson plans.
Other highlights of the contract include a 7 percent salary increase over three years and 30 percent of teacher evaluations based on test scores. While principals will retain hiring power, one-half of new hires must come from a pool of laid-off teachers.
Jesse Ruiz, vice president of Chicago's board of education, told NBC Chicago the agreement means more time for students and a revised evaluation system that hadn't been reviewed in 40 years.
"We need to continue these discussions," Ruiz said. "There are a lot of issues that came up that weren't specific to this contract that talk about the quality of our education system."
Mayor Rahm Emanuel called the deal "an honest compromise."
"In past negotiations taxpayers paid more but our kids got less," Emanuel said. "This time our taxpayers are paying less and our kids are getting more."
The deal still must be voted on by the teachers union, which could take a couple of weeks. It's expected to move through with no problem.

Dont you know if there is a tool to compare and list Facebook mutual friends? It would be MUCH easier to simply put into this tool links for 10 racers profiles we know and if there will be some mutual friends... it has something to do with the Race.I think we would get the results much quicker...No offence, but after seeing some of this mystery team photos I got one interesting idea. It would be very interesting to follow a team of homeless people on their journey around the world in The Amazing Race. For example a couple of homeless people who were never out of the US... do you remember Dreamz from Survivor, right?
Team Blue/Boston - the girl looks a lot like Miss Massachusetts Amanda Narciso.
I think I may have a close find to one of the longhairs. His name's Cody Stauber. Questionable enough, Ashley Covert (Team Kings) liked his Twitter page and he doesn't have that many followers or followings. It may be a coincidence, but it looks like a match with one of the longhairs' faces. Don't have much more info though. Getting to sleep now. *hopes*Show contenthttp://www.youtube.com/user/codystauber YouTube pagehttp://twitter.com/CodyStauber Twitter profilehttp://CodyStauber.com/ Actor websiteIf it's wrong, feel free to delete the post.
Thanks everyone for trying! I still think orange caps could mean hunters, it will be fun to see!

Uninterrupted movement is one sign of a large space, so arrange your furniture in a way that allows everyone to move easily from one area to the next. Determine how someone enters the room and where they're most likely to go, such as to a sofa or desk chair, then arrange the furniture so people can use paths without obstruction. Make sure to allow enough space to perform tasks common to the room, such as opening and closing window coverings and reaching for light switches.
Mirrors push walls away and reflect light, which makes the space look bigger. Use them in front of your most attractive decor, such as flowers or rich drapes or windows, to reflect beauty and please the eye. Avoid using a mirrored wall, which can look too retro and alter your aesthetic. Instead, rely on one large framed mirror propped on the floor, or group several smaller mirrors on a wall.
