In Preservation Microfilming: A Guide for Librarians and Archivists (1987), Nancy E. Gwinn wrote: <block> [Microfilming is] ... the most reliable method of format conversion for paper-based records, ... [and thus] ... has become firmly established as an essential component of a comprehensive preservation program. Although no one could be accused of liking microfilm, its benefits are undeniable. No other currently available technology offers proven long-term preservation at reasonable cost. </block>
"Reasonable cost" is, of course, used in a relative sense here. In the past, reasonable cost included all of the staff time that went into preparing materials for microfilming and reviewing the microfilm after it was created on top of the fees paid to Photographic Services to produce the master negative for off-site storage and three additional copies: a printing negative for on-site storage from which new positives can be made; a positive copy for use in Public Services; and a positive copy for use at Davis Microforms. A good deal of paper work was involved in tracking these copies. As of March 2006, we will outsource microfilm to a vendor and no longer request a positive copy for use in Public Services.
A considerable amount of Department staff time will still go into microfilming projects before the actual filming. If you consider how documents appear on film, you will realize that materials to be filmed require more intensive annotation than might be thought adequate otherwise. In addition, because the order of items is fixed once they are on film, much work has to be done to insure that they are in the correct order when they are sent out to the vendor.
Microfilming of manuscript materials can be fairly tricky. Materials in manuscript collections tend to range widely in paper size, paper and ink colors, and other variables that drive filmers crazy. To minimize re-shooting, it is important that collections are sent to the vendor with clear, precise instructions on how to handle problem items (like scrapbooks) and that we work closely with the filmer to make sure that we get the best possible product.
To that end, we spend a great deal of time producing "targets," informational notes that serve as navigational aids to users. Targets are made to show reel numbers, series/subseries numbers, notes on missing pages, and other useful information. We routinely insert "notes to the filmer" in the actual materials where we see potential for confusion on how to handle particular items (e.g., very complicated page order, odd-size items). In the past we "programmed" the reels, which involves counting the number of frames materials will require so that reel breaks can be established. We will no longer do this. We also used to take responsibility for inspecting the film for omissions, errors in page order, double-takes, blurs, and other problems, but will no longer perform these quality control measures, except in rare circumstances, because they are too time-intensive. We will rely on the vendor for high quality filming and on researchers to notify us of filming errors they come across.
Microfilming is extremely labor intensive. If your collection is to be filmed, you will work closely with your supervising archivist to prepare the collection and to handle the post-filming work. If you become involved in a microfilming project, it may buoy up your spirits to remember that permanent preservation of valuable materials is worth all the hassles.
Prepping Manuscript Collections For Microfilming
The key to success in any microfilming project is to make the materials as easy to film as possible. The easier the materials are to film, the fewer are the errors we'll find when we review the actual film. Because correcting errors is costly, time-consuming, and bad for the durability of the film, we want to help produce film that is as close to error-free as possible.
Our job is to make sure that the materials are in the correct order within the folders, that the order is clear to the filmer, and that there are clear instructions on how to handle individual items that may present problems. This is called prepping. If we prep well, the filmer should have few questions about how to proceed, and the project should go smoothly.
- Check date of each item to make sure that it is filed in the correct year. If the item has a different date than the year you are expecting, or no date at all, flag it for your supervising archivist's review.
- Check for completeness. Are all of the pages of the letter (and/or enclosure) present? If not, flag it for your supervising archivist's review.
- Annotate documents as needed.
- a. You do NOT need to annotate if
- The date appears clearly on the first page;
- The sequence of the pages will be obvious to the filmer; and
- It's obvious where one document ends and the next begins.
- b. Documents with multiple pages.
- If a document's date is somewhere other than the first page, then write it on the first page. Write neatly in pencil, putting the date in square brackets in the top, right corner of the page.
- Annotate documents with multiple pages with the date from the first page and a page number:
- [1 May 1923/1] [1 May 1923/2].
- c. When an item includes enclosures:
- Keep enclosures (e.g. clippings, a photo to which reference is made in the letter) behind the letter in which they were enclosed.
- Annotate enclosures in square brackets with the date of the letter with which they were enclosed: [Encl. 1 May 1923]
- Annotate enclosures with multiple pages or multiple enclosures with the date of the letter with which they were enclosed and a page number: [Encl. 1 May 1923/1] [Encl. 1 May 1923/2].
- Keep enclosures (e.g. clippings, a photo to which reference is made in the letter) behind the letter in which they were enclosed.
- a. You do NOT need to annotate if
- Remove paper clips, staples, other fasteners after ordering and annotating as appropriate.
- Unfold any folded items.
- Flag for your supervising archivist's review:
- fragile items (things that are in pieces or look like they might fall apart when touched)
- envelopes
- duplicates
- oversized materials (items that must be folded to fit in folder)
- whole newspapers, magazines
- old processing notes
- ANYTHING that you are unsure of
Microfilm Review
The reviewing film is the preservation master negative. This is the original that will be archived after a printing negative has been generated. Because it is the archival copy it is important that the preservation master negative be handled with care. We want to avoid any chance of scratching, smudging, or tearing of the film. ALWAYS wear gloves when handling the film. Gloves need not be worn while reviewing film that is in the microfilm reader.
To keep in mind:
- Be gentle in advancing and rewinding the film. Slow and steady is better for the film.
- The loading lever should be open when advancing and rewinding the film in order to minimize contact with the film.
- After reviewing folder contents, please tidy the contents before returning them to the box.
Our job is to spot check the film to make sure that no pages have been omitted in the filming process. We will compare the film to the originals every ten frames.
The first frames on every reel will be targets: start; bibliographic information; and then technical information. The collection contents follow immediately.
- Check the first item on the film and then find the same item in the collection.
- Advance the film ten frames. (There is a frame counter along the bottom of the film to help you keep track.)
- Compare the tenth film frame with the tenth page in the folder. Be sure to count every side that has writing or print of any kind. Is the image on the screen the same as the item in the folder?
- If yes, count the next ten frames on the film and the next ten pages in the folder, compare, and so on.
- If the image and item do not match, determine where the filming mistake is. More often than not a page will have been filmed twice. This is an imperfection but not a problem. If this is the case proceed to the next set of ten. If the filmer missed a page (often the second side of an item), make a note of the item (frame number, date, identifying name, etc.) on a separate sheet of paper, and then flag the item in the folder.
- Be sure to flag any irregularities, such as filming out of order, missing pages, or anything else that seems suspicious.
A reel will often take a couple of hours to check. This is a long time to sit close to a microfilm reader. If you need to take a break that's fine, but be sure to turn off the reader light and open the loading lever. If you will be away from the film for more than a few short minutes, remove the film from the reader and place it in its box.

Investigators are hopeful that an announcement made yesterday by Wells Fargo and the Utah Bankers Association will assist with the investigation. They released the following statement:
"Wells Fargo, in conjunction with the Utah Bankers Association, is offering up to a $10,000 reward for original information leading to the identification, apprehension, and conviction of the person(s) involved in the robbery of the Wells Fargo bank located at 797 South Main Street, Cedar City, UT 84720 on Saturday, January 4, 2014, at 2:04 PM."
Police hope the reward will be incentive for anyone with information to come forward and assist in the investigation. Police are investigating the potential connection between this robbery and the robbery of a Mountain America Credit Union that occurred in Cedar City in February of last year. There are similarities in the physical appearance of both suspects that lead police to investigate the possibility that these cases are related. While we can't say for sure that they are the same suspect, it is something that we are investigating.
The suspect in this case is described as being a white male in his sixties with gray hair. He was last seen wearing a dark colored over-sized coat, a tan hat and blue jeans. He is described as being between 5'08" and 6' tall.
Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact the Cedar City Police Department at 435-586-2956.

The box was thoughtfully packed with a Redondo Beach teeshirt, map, and bottle opener, as well as stationary, freeze dried fruit, tea (not pictured) and a handy salad crisper bag.
Oraphan, how did you know I collect regional magnets? The Redondo Beach dolphin fits right in beside my Swedish viking and Las Vegas poker chip.
Pay it Forward is a blog contest with a simple premise: everybody likes receiving presents out of context. As the winner of Oraphan's giveaway, I now get to pass on the fun by mailing a package of my own to one lucky reader, who will then pay it forward by sending a gift to someone else, and so on into eternity... The only stipulation is that the items should be produced locally. I rarely participate in blog games, but I can't resist an opportunity to show off some of my favorite Maine-made products!
If you'd like to receive a package from Maine, leave a comment letting me know you're in. (Remember, if you're the winner, you'll have to pay it forward!) Readers outside the U.S. and Canada are welcome to participate, if they are patient enough to wait for cheap (and slow) international shipping. I'll choose a winner in one week, on Thursday, April 22. The contents of the box have yet to be determined, but I can promise something maple!

Hi, my name is Mikayla and I have been a Girl Scout for 3 years. I'm a second year Junior in Troop 8056, in Mobile. We are a very active troop.
We go on exciting adventures to new places and get to meet a lot of new people. I get to see things I would not have seen if it wasn't for Girl Scouts. Last year, I earned my bronze award.
I earned my bronze award by collecting clothes, toys, old cell phones, and even donating cookies to the Penelope House. Just in case you are wondering, I collected old cell phones so someone could fix them and be able to call 911 when they were in trouble. I also did chores around my house to earn money for them. The Penelope House is a safe haven for women and children who are being abused and need to get away to a safe place. The most important thing I learned from this was that not everyone has the life they want, even though they deserve it. And that is how I earned my bronze award

Duct barrier grilles can be applied to create restrictions in any wall openings. The maximum allowable opening is 6" x 12" through the grille.
Fixed louver grilles allow air to be distributed in a specific pattern and can also be used to obstruct vision into the ductwork. Louvers are available in 0, 15, 45 degree angles.
Lattice face ceiling diffusers allow for overhead directional air distribution. The lattice face protects the diffuser and prevents access to the duct.
Lattice face security grilles provide up to 3 tiers of steel construction for maximum resistance to penetration. Grilles are made of lighter gage material for an economical solution in lower security area.
Perforated face grilles feature a highly effective free area while restricting admission and storage of contraband.
Risk resistant ceiling diffusers feature an injury inhibiting core which uses a patented w-shaped blade which provides effective air distribution in a variety of discharge patterns.
Risk resistant grilles provide air distribution while reducing the ability of inmates to inflict injury by way of the air outlet. Complex cores and small perforated faces are two means of achieving this.
Screened face security grilles provide high air volumes in applications where increased duct security is a concern. Optional barrier bars and mounting options allow these grilles to be suitable for medium security.

Sabres offense in deep freeze
by Howard Simon
posted Feb 27 2013 12:00AM
Despite the win in Tampa, the Buffalo Sabres have a number of problems to solve. The main one being, of course, their record. They need to put together a lot of wins and fast but you probably shouldn't expect that from a team that has yet to win more than two games in a row this season.
Maybe the win in Tampa two nights ago is a sign that new Coach Ron Rolston will be able to clean up their own end but it's only one game and the Sabres gave up four goals to the Islanders in the game prior to that one.
While addressing play in the defensive zone, Rolston can't ignore what's happening in the offensive zone. Actually, the problem is what isn't happening in the offensive zone and that would be goals.
Buffalo has scored two or fewer goals in four straight games and six of their last eight. They have a total of twelve goals in those eight games and a 2-6 record in that stretch.
Thomas Vanek has cooled off after a red hot start. Jason Pominville has been nearly invisible. The remaining three lines of forwards aren't contributing enough and that leaves the Sabres in an offensive funk.
Vanek has one goal in his last eight games although he may be playing through injuries. Pominville has just one point in his last 10 games, a goal in the loss to Winnipeg. Its his worst offensive stretch since the 2005-06 season when he managed a mere two points over 15 games.
Off to the second line where Tyler Ennis has been producing but Drew Stafford and Marcus Foligno have not. Stafford has one goal in twenty games and has been held pointless 13 times this season. Foligno also has but one goal and it came in the fifth game of the season.
But Foligno's 15 game goal scoring drought is not the longest on the team. Nathan Gerbe has yet to score a goal in the 16 games he's played in and Jochan Hecht is 0 for 20. Hecht has equaled his career worst slump. He went 20 games without a goal in the 2002-03 season.
If you go back to last season, you'll find that Hecht didn't score in the last 11 games so his goal-less streak is actually at 31 games. Hecht's last goal came way back on December 30,2011 although he did miss the final three months of last season due to concussion issues.
Other players hoping to thaw out their game in the remaining time in Florida include Steve Ott who has one goal in his last eight games and Pat Kaleta who is still looking for his first point of the season. He has zero's across the scoring board in 15 games.
The Vanek, Pominville and Cody Hodgson line has combined for 27 goals. 11 other forwards have mustered a grand total of 12 goals.
If the Sabres could get the power play going that would be a big help but their man advantage production this month has been almost nil. Buffalo is an unfathomable 2 for 47 on the power play which is a success rate of .04%. Something happened when the calendar flipped because the Sabres connected at a 24% clip in January, going 6 for 25.
Vanek accounts for 5 of the team's 8 power play goals on the season. Pominville, Ott and Tyler Myers have one each. The last Sabre other than Vanek to actually score on the power play was Pominville on January 29th vs Toronto, some 15 games ago.
The Sabres have only one road power play goal all season in 34 man up chances. It was Vanek in Boston on January 31st.

Blaise the Holy Martyr of Sebastia
The Gospel according to Mark 6:54-56, 7:1-8
At that time, Jesus got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him, and ran about the whole neighborhood and began to bring sick people on their pallets to any place where they heard he was. And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or country, they laid the sick in the market places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well. Now when the Pharisees gathered together to him, with some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem, they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands defiled, that is, unwashed. (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they wash their hands, observing the tradition of the elders; and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions which they observe, the washing of cups and pots and vessels of bronze.) And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with hands defiled?" And he said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men. You leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.'"

Top Definition
A woman, usually in her early to mid 30s, who marries a man at least 10 years older who already has children in their teens. She then forces him to give her a new baby to piss off the existing children, make him forget about his first wife and make the new mom the queen bee of the family.
Mary was still in middle school when her new husband started his first job out of college. Now they have a 2-year-old baby and of course the old baller hates his two kids.

The yanagi is used to slice boneless fish fillets into sashimi and toppings for sushi. The graceful, long and thin blade is designed to cut slices in one drawing stroke, which applies minimal pressure on the flesh of the fish to avoiding stress and cell destruction. Different cutting techniques are used with the yanagi to enhance the aesthetics and the flavors of the fish. There are several variations of fish slicers that are all used in different situations and regions, however the yanagi style is the most widely used. The kensaki yanagi, sakimaru takobiki and maguro yanagi serve similar functions, but are more elegant styles. If space allows, longer blades will produce better results. Korin recommends the 30cm length for this style, because it has the most optimal weight and length for slicing through the fish without damaging the flesh.
Left-handed knives are available for this style. Please call customer service at 1-800-626-2172 to order.

Turf affected: All warm-season turfgrasses
Symptoms: This is a root rot disease. The symptoms are usually associated with wet soil conditions, either from excessive rainfall or from irrigation. Poor drainage conditions compound this problem. The symptoms observed on the leaves are the result of fungal activity on the root system. The aboveground symptom is generally a decline in turf quality. Small to large turf areas become a yellow, light green, or brown color and the turf begins to thin out. Roots appear thin and discolored, but are not black and rotted as they are with take-all root rot.
Disease occurrence: Symptoms may appear at any time of the year.
Management: To prevent the disease, improve drainage.

Lifting his bow up to his strings in Burke Hall's rehearsal space, the professor prepares to lead a half-dozen students—standing in a tight semi-circle around him—into a musical number. But what results isn't what you might expect to hear from a classical violinist. His movements are fluid and whimsical rather than rigid or deliberate. The sound is quick and rhythmic, changing its pitch almost instantaneously. An upright bass joins in, followed by a mandolin and acoustic guitars; then a banjo rings out, and a male student begins to sing soulfully and unexpectedly, "Honey, won't you let me in?"
Andy Carlson wasn't always teaching bluegrass in the classroom. After arriving at Denison in 1999, the Athens, Ga., native spent the first 10 years of his tenure training music students in classical violin and serving as concertmaster for the university's symphony orchestra—endeavors that he still performs today. It was a combination, however, of Carlson's second passion for folk music and the university's out-of-the-box thinking that led to the creation of the academic concentration in bluegrass with him at its helm.
For Carlson, the music is deeply personal. His grandfather, acclaimed Georgia fiddler Earl Murphy, who died in 2011, introduced him to bluegrass and taught him fiddle at a young age. Photos in Carlson's office—some taken when Carlson was a boy, others only a few months before Murphy's death—depict the smiling duo side-by-side with instruments at their chins.
"I was so lucky to have such a rich experience with him," says Carlson. "His enthusiasm and excitement is what got me going as a young kid. That still carries me through a lot of lessons sometimes. It's about spreading the love of the music."
As an undergrad himself, studying violin at the University of Georgia in the early '90s, Carlson says he was discouraged from playing bluegrass, or even from fiddling, because it was considered to be taboo and deemed unacceptable by academic standards. Even today, the number of American colleges that offer courses in bluegrass can be counted on one hand. But only one does so in a liberal arts environment—and that's Denison.
"If you go to China, or if you go to Brazil, or if you go to Ireland, children there are very aware of their own folk music," says program co-director Casey Cook, who as far back as he can remember played bluegrass with his family. "They know their grandparents' tunes; they know tunes from the 1800s. We don't celebrate that in America."
Carlson and Cook, professional musicians themselves with decades of combined experience touring and recording, credit Denison for being ahead of the curve when it comes to the emergence of bluegrass in academia. Carlson points out that jazz had been considered off-limits for years in higher education. "Now, every music department offers a jazz degree," he says. "They wouldn't think anything of it."
Bluegrass' roots can be traced to the British Isles, whose immigrants brought their music with them to Appalachia in the 17th and 18th centuries. The style has continued to evolve, blending elements of country, gospel and even jazz. Handed down from generation to generation, the music lives on not in written form, but audibly, almost like a secret passed from ear to ear. This makes the teaching of it unique, and uniquely difficult.
"With classical music, your goal is to take what someone else has written and try to recreate it as authentically as you can," says Carlson. With bluegrass, however, it's all about listening, recognizing patterns and cues and improvising.
Guitarist Hayes Griffin, who graduated from Denison in 2010 and now tours full time with the April Verch Band, says developing the ability to understand the music without written instruction is no cakewalk, but certainly comes with its rewards.
"After you beat your head against the wall for a while trying to learn that way, you begin to hear chord changes before they happen; your fingers start to instantly find the melody to a tune you've never heard before; or you fill in vocal harmonies to a new song," he says. "The music becomes less mechanical, and more spiritual."
With its emphasis on creativity, cognitive advancement and learning through immersion, bluegrass seemed a perfect fit with the university's focus on liberal arts. "We're not really, as an institution, trying to train specific professional skills," says Carlson. "We're trying to develop people who can think."
Among the roughly 30 students enrolled in the bluegrass program, several are majoring in something other than music. Some are learning to play their very first instrument, while others are expanding their musical horizons to include an entirely new genre. Bluegrass is steeped in the culture at Denison, with frequent concerts, weekly community jam sessions at the student union, and an extraordinary annual festival that Carlson established to bring world-class musicians to Granville. "This music is desperate right now for a new audience," Carlson says. "It has to have it to continue."
On this particular day, in separate rehearsal spaces within Burke Hall of Music and Art, Carlson and Cook work with groups of differing skill levels in preparation for their Swasey Chapel concert at the end of the semester. They're practicing songs from some of the greats—Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs, the Stanley Brothers and more. Both instructors, however, encourage students to put their own creative twists on the old ballads and make them their own. The only instructions in front of them are song lyrics and handwritten notes; there's no tablature of any kind.
"My favorite thing about playing bluegrass is the smile that crosses everyone's faces when playing or hearing it," says fiddler Kenzie Maynard '15, who hopes she'll tour professionally someday. "It's just a happy genre, and it makes people feel good when they hear it."
Maynard's sentiment is echoed by an unlikely voice—that of Greg Phlegar, Denison's assistant dean of students and director of the Office of Student Conduct and Campus Values. Like Carlson, Phlegar was raised playing the violin, but his recent interest in learning the mandolin drew him to the bluegrass program. Now in his eighth semester under Carlson and Cook's tutelage, Phlegar says what once was a side hobby is now an infatuation.
"I'm just a student like all the other students," says Phlegar, who made the switch to upright bass this past semester. "I don't get a grade, but I enjoy standing among the students and instructors to learn this unique and fun musical language. I'm so grateful this opportunity exists for students, and now me."
Kyle Baker '13, a guitar performance major, knew nothing about bluegrass before he came to Denison. After a professor referred him to the program, the Granville native says he fell in love with it.
"For me, the most wonderful part about playing bluegrass is working together as a band," Baker says. "We aren't limited or restricted by electric instruments so we can practice anywhere, even outside on the lawn when the weather's nice, and I feel that this level of spontaneity is something that brings us together."
The goal of the program, according to Carlson, its designer, is to cultivate the same passion his grandfather instilled in him, to "take people who really don't know anything about bluegrass and haven't heard it, and make them fans of the music, so that when they leave Denison they have an appreciation for America's heritage through the music," he says. "That's why I'm teaching it."

Training Camp Notebook: Day 13
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 12 2012 7:25PM
The Buffalo Bills have been relatively lucky throughout training camp in not having to deal with inclement weather. There was one close call when the team had to be moved inside because of lightning. Other than that though, it's been clear skies and sunshine at St. John Fisher College.
That is, until Sunday afternoon.
A little over halfway through the practice, a grey cloud rolled overhead and the Bills were sufficiently soaked as team drills took place.
I say this only because I had an umbrella and stayed dry, but it was good to see the team practice in less than perfect conditions. Who was able to battle through and have a good practice?
Here are some of my observations from Day 13:
- Practice MVP: HB Fred Jackson. Head coach Chan Gailey declared on Saturday night after practice that this week would be dedicated to getting the run game going on offense. As we all know by now, the running backs did not get a carry when the first team offense was on the field. Out of 14 plays that counted, 14 were passes. On Sunday, Jackson took MVP honors during the live drill on the goal line. The first team got three reps, with all three of those being a carry for Fred Jackson. How many of them ended up in the end zone? All three.
- Practice LVP: G/C Mark Asper. It was a tough day for the rookie interior lineman. He hasn't had the best of camps and is likely going to find himself amongst the cut-list. I was lucky enough to be close enough to the offensive linemen being coached up by Joe D'Alessandris, who coincidentally is my favorite coach to listen to during practice. Asper didn't do a drill to D'Alessandris' satisfaction, and the coach showed Asper how he wanted it run. Asper took another rep, and didn't get it straight once again. D'Alessandris dismissed him from the drill, telling Asper that he was wasting his breath on him, and brought Chad Rinehart in to do the same exercise to which he perfected it. D'Alessandris then looked at Asper and asked him why he couldn't do that once out of the five reps that he had. Asper also went on to struggle in the 1-on-1 drills.
- Fourth-round rookie cornerback Ron Brooks continues to make a steady improvement each day at camp. He's come a long way since things started at St. John Fisher College, and is making plays on the ball almost daily. Brooks intercepted a pass on Sunday that he returned for a touchdown, and also had the interception against Washington. Of course, he's done it against the second team offense, but signs of improvement this early on is a welcomed addition to a cornerback group that has a lot of questions.
- The more I watch Marcus Easley struggle in practices, the less shocked I'll be if they elect to cut him when we get to that point of the season. He has not shown the consistency Chan Gailey has looked for, and has been passed on the depth chart by both Derek Hagan and T.J. Graham. For Easley to make this team, he'll have to convince the Bills' coaching staff with solid play that they need to keep six receivers. Don't count out Ruvell Martin or David Clowney for that, either. They're right in that second-tier with Easley. If you had to ask me right now if he makes the team, I'd probably say yes. In no way am I confident in that statement, however. He has much to prove.
- One of the men that has passed Easley is rookie T.J. Graham. He had the play of the day on a post pattern. He got in behind both his defender and the safety, concentrated after the throw was deflected in the pouring rain and brought in the reception. He turned it up field and took it to the end zone. His biggest challenge will be knowing the playbook inside and out, but the raw talent is there.
- A player lost in the shuffle at linebacker is Danny Batten. The third-year pro out of South Dakota State is battling it out with the third team as an outside linebacker, his first time playing the 4-3 linebacker role. Batten is a liability in coverage, and doesn't make up for it with instincts to stop the run. He's one of the players that might be a casualty in switching back from the 3-4. That looks likely at this point.
- Tight end Fendi Onobun has everything you would like from a tight end in terms of size and speed. However, the instincts, recognition, catching ability and blocking leaves a ton to be desired. Prototypical size and speed don't appear to be enough to save Onobun. If it's down to keeping either him or Dorin Dickerson as a third tight end, Dickerson would win that battle in my opinion.
Injury Notes:
- No changes in the non-participants for the Bills on Sunday. Justin Rogers, Josh Nesbitt, Mike Caussin and Kevin Brock were the only four not to suit up. Despite suffering a shoulder injury on Saturday, Spencer Johnson did do individual drills. He sat out of team drills, however.
- Derek Hagan was shaken up on a long pass play that resulted in both an incompletion and him hitting the turf awkwardly. He got up limping and was escorted to the end zone by the trainers. They wrapped up his right knee and he got back in to action. It appeared to be a big cut caused by the fall, because shortly after getting it wrapped there were noticeable blood stains showing through before he even took another rep. He finished out practice.
- On the goal line drill, which happened while it was raining, Eric Wood did not take reps. However, Erik Pears did take part in the set of three plays.
The Bills continue practice on Monday afternoon at St. John Fisher College at 3 pm. The session is open to the general public.

Where I stayed
Next we stopped at at the turnout for Rustic Falls. Its a nice 47 foot high waterfalls that empties into Glen Creek, as you can see we were there in a dry time of the year and the waterfall was just a trickle.
Going further south on the Grand Loop road we made another stop at the Sheepeater Cliffs. Its an area comprised of cliffs sculpted from basalt columns, the remnants of old lava flow in the area. The odd name is due to a sect of the Shoshone tribe that lived in the area.
Our next stop was at Roaring Mountain. Its between Mammoth Hot Springs and the Norris Geyser Basin. Many fumaroles cover the surface of the mountain side here and let off steam and a hissing sound, hence the name of the mountain. There isn't much to see here beside the mountain and alot of steam. Just across the road is a plaque that reads "naturally re-seeded by wildfire in 1988". Alot of the forest in the area was destroyed in the large forest fire on 1988 but there are many new trees growing in this area.
We continued south until we came to the Norris Geyser Basin. Norris is divided into two distinct geyser basins, the Back Basin and the Porcelain Basin. I stopped in the book store to have my passport stamped and to get a map of the area. We started our tour with the Back Geyser Basin. The Back Geyser Basin is considerably more forested than the Porcelain Basin, the geyser are also more spread out and not as scenic. The Back Geyser Basin has 6 springs, 10 geysers, 2 steam vents, 1 caldron, and 1 crater. As with the West Thumb Geyser Basin the smell of sulphur was everywhere. We walked in a clockwise direction starting with Emerald Spring and and ended with Minute Geyser. We didn't see any geysers erupt but Steamboat Geyser was steaming pretty good.
Next we crossed over into the Porcelain Geyser Basin. We began at the Porcelain Basin Overlook and the views were gorgeous. The springs in the Porcelain Basin are aquamarine blue surrounded by what looks like white quartz, its far more scenic than the Back Geyser Basin. The Porcelain Geyser Basin has 5 geysers, 2 vents, 1 pool and several springs. You pass Black Growler Vent which provides a constant noisy eruption of steam and you descend the boardwalk down into the basin where you will beautiful blue springs bubbling and splashing while small vents let off steam
Continuing South we bypassed the Artist Paint Pot Trail which mainly contains bubbling mud pots and also the Monument Geyser Basin which is now mostly dormant geysers in favor of one small stop at Beryl Spring, which is a pretty blue colored spring alongside the Grand Loop road near the Madison River.
We continued on and took a detour off to the Fire Hole River Drive. It is a short 2 mile drive on a paved roadway that runs alongside the beautiful rapids of the Firehole River. The scenery is wonderful if you have the time to do the drive. It is also one of two areas in the park where swimming in the river is safe and legal. As a whitewater kayaker I have to say the rapids on this particular stretch of the Firehole River looked rather exciting. Many section were clogged with trees and there were massive boulders everywhere creating huge frothing holes. It looks like a pretty technical run. The drive ends near the 40 ft Firehole Falls before rejoining the main roadway again.
Our next stop was at the Fountain Paint Pot trail. This is great little trail with alot of scenic little geysers
We decided to go see what was out and drove north a quarter of a mile to see what sort of wildlife was outside. When we got there we saw it was a lone coyote hunting in the fields for a meal. They are such cute animals and remind me so much of dogs. He didn't seem to mind the attention he was getting and went on about his business of looking for something to eat. He got surprisingly close to us. As we were watching him one of the famous Yellow Buses pulled up. The Yellow buses are a historic part of Yellowstone's history, they were re-introduced back into the park in 1997 after a fifty year absence. They are available for tours of the park. Once the coyote departed we continued on our way south.The next stop was the Firehole Lake drive. The drive is about 3 miles long and just down the road from the Fountain Paint Pot area
Our next stop was at the Midway Geyser Basin. Midway Geyser Basin is a small area but well worth your time since it hosts two of the most beautiful pools in the park, Grand Prismatic Spring and Excelsior Geyser. It has the fewest thermal features in the park and no erupting geysers but very dramatic colors. As with the other areas of the park there is a half mile boardwalk that you must stay on. As you enter you will see scorching hot water draining from Excelsior Geyser into the Firehole River. The fog steams up the boardwalk area. You'll see many interesting colors from the various bacteria that live in the hot waters. Excelsior Geyser is the first you will come to, it was once the largest geyser on earth but an explosive eruption destroyed it and it is now a gorgeous blue simmering pool. You'll walk past alot more various colored bacterial mats and next come to Grand Prismatic Spring. At first Grand Prismatic is hard to see from the steam rising from it, it is very large and its hard to get a handle on what you are looking at
Next up was Biscuit Basin. Biscuit Basin is another short hike on a boardwalk. Biscuit Basin was named for biscuit-like formations that surrounded Sapphire Pool but were destroyed due to a violent explosion. The area contains 3 pools, 2 geysers and 2 springs. Its a peaceful area and we saw bison here as well. There are some interesting colored bacterial mats here as well. Sapphire Pool is incredibly beautiful and blue, which gets its color from the deep crater below the pool. Jewel Geyser is named for the diamond white sinter formation around the geyser, and Shell Geyser is very cute.
After we finished at Biscuit Basin we went to our next hotel which was the Old Faithful Snow Lodge. The Snow Lodge is one of the most modern accommodations in Yellowstone National Park, it is also open in winter when very few hotels are. It is made to look and feel like a ski chalet. It has wi-fi, several restaurants and is very close to Old Faithful. We stopped here to dump off our luggage, take a quick break and find out what time the dining room was open til.Since it was in the afternoon we decided to go right over to the Upper Geyser Basin to see Old Faithful and the other geysers before we lost daylight. As luck would have it we had a half an hour before Old Faithful was set to go off. We got great seats on the benches and waited for the show to begin
We saw many pretty geysers including Heart Spring, the Lion Group, Liberty Pool, Grand Geyser. Two of my favorites were Beauty Pool and Chromatic Pool, the colors are outstanding! Another interesting sight is Grotto Geyser which has the oddest shape, looks like a sculpture. We were a bit disappointed that we did not see Grand or Riverside Geysers erupt while we were there. It was getting later, the sun was starting to set and there weren't very many people on the trail but we decided to go see Morning Glory Pool before turning around.
Morning Glory was once one of the most beautiful pools in Yellowstone but acts of vandalism has clogged some of its thermal features killing off some of the bacteria that had given it its prolific color
On our way back towards Old Faithful we watched the sun set and hurried our butts back to civilization for fear of bears finding us on the trail. When we got back to the parking lot there were bison everywhere. The rangers were trying to herd them away rather unsuccessfully.
We went into the gift shop at Old Faithful and I bought a t-shirt and some earrings. Since we had not eaten at all today we decided it was time for dinner. We returned to the Old Faithful Snow Lodge and made dinner reservations at the Obsidian Dining Room. The dining room was rather fancy and it took awhile until we were able to be taken. I selected cheese ravioli from the menu and to be honest it was one of the worst meals I ate in the park. It was very dried out and hard and such a tiny portion for the price we paid. I'd recommend going to the grill to eat.
After dinner we returned to the room for the night to pack and rest.

Lady Monarchs Never Trail in 60-49 Victory Over W&M Tribe
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - In a game that the Old Dominion women's basketball team (6-5)bnever trailed William and Mary (2-7), the Lady Monarchs would go onto a 60-49 victory on Saturday afternoon at Kaplan Arena.
Junior co-captain, Shae Kelley recorded her seventh double-double of the season after her 20 points and 12 rebound performance in Williamsburg. Tiffany Minor scored nine points and hauled down eight rebounds, while Becca Allison also scored nine points and grabbed seven boards. Chelisa Painter had another solid performance as she went for seven points and four rebounds.
In the second half, the Tribe cut their deficit down to 10 points on five different occasions, but the Lady Monarchs proved to be too much down the stretch for W&M. For the game, ODU outrebounded William and Mary, 54-25. Old Dominion dominated the points in the paint (30-20), second chance points (20-6) and bench points (18-7).
Perhaps the spark of the game came from freshman Destinee Young, who got the nod for her first start of her young collegiate career, and did a little bit of everything just 17 minutes (four points, seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal).
For the game Old Dominion connected on 35.6% (21-59) of their field-goal attempts, while the Tribe knocked down 34% (18-53) of their FGA.
Today's game was apart of the annual Optima Health Challenge between Old Dominion and William and Mary. Today, 10 points were awarded to ODU in the challenge, which encompasses all athletic events between two schools. Currently the challenge's score is 20-10 with Old Dominion in the lead. The next event of the challenge will be men's basketball on Jan. 1 at W&M Hall. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.
Old Dominion jumped out to an early 11-4 lead at the first media timeout, before extending their advantage to 17-10 behind nine quick points from the senior, Becca Allison. The Lady Monarchs would stretch their lead to 22-12 before the Tribe went on a run of their own, narrowing their deficit to 22-16 with 5:40 to play.
The under-four media timeout came at the 2:46 mark, with Old Dominion still in charge, 30-20. William and Mary drilled a three-pointer as the first half buzzer sounded, cutting into Old Dominion's lead 32-25 as both teams headed into the locker rooms.
For the half, Shae Kelley went for eight points and seven boards, while Tiffany Minor scored six points and hauled down five rebounds. Destinee Young got the nod for her first start of her young collegiate career, and did a little bit of everything in the first 20 minutes of play (two points, six rebounds and two blocks).
After a minor break from competition, the Lady Monarchs will remain on the road to take on Virginia Commonwealth University on Monday, Dec. 30, at 2 p.m. Next, Old Dominion will travel to Duke before returning back home on Jan. 5 when they take on North Carolina Central.
Next Karen Barefoot Coach's Show
The next Coach's Show will be Monday, Jan. 6, at 7 p.m. at YNot in the University Village.

COPENHAGEN (AP) — Former Rabobank cyclist Rolf Sorensen of Denmark has admitted to doping in the 1990s.
A professional from 1986 to 2002, Sorensen says he "apologizes humbly for the long, long period with lies" for using EPO and, to some extent, cortisone.
Throughout his career, Sorensen stubbornly denied doping allegations.
The Danish rider's wins include stages in the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia. He also has won one-day races including the Liege-Bastogne-Liege.
Sorensen was on the Rabobank team from 1996-2000. He is the latest rider from the now disbanded Rabobank team to admit to doping, following the likes of Michael Boogerd of the Netherlands and Michael Rasmussen of Denmark.

Sorry, there are currently no sellers for this product.
Product description
- Total Pages: 400
- Genre: Thriller suspense
Deep beneath the English Channel, a small army of vicious terrorists has seized control of the Eurostar to Paris, taken 400 hostages at gunpoint - and declared war on a government that has more than its own fair share of secrets to keep. One man stands in their way. An off-duty SAS soldier is hiding somewhere inside the train. Alone and injured, he's the only chance the passengers and crew have of getting out alive. Meet Andy McNab's explosive new creation, Sergeant Tom Buckingham, as he unleashes a whirlwind of intrigue and retribution in his attempt to stop the terrorists and save everyone on board - including Delphine, the beautiful woman he loves. Hurtling us at breakneck speed between the Regiment's crack assault teams, Whitehall's corridors of power and the heart of the Eurotunnel action, Red Notice is McNab at his devastatingly authentic, pulse pounding best. Red Notice : You have been warned...
Author's Biography
As a teenage delinquent, Andy McNab kicked against society. As a young soldier he waged war against the IRA in the streets and fields of South Armagh. As a member of 22 SAS he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years - on five continents. During the Gulf War he commanded Bravo Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his commanding officer, 'will remain in regimental history for ever'. Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS. Since then Andy McNab has become one of the world's bestselling writers, drawing on his insider knowledge and experience. As well as three nonfiction bestsellers, he is the author of the bestselling Nick Stone thrillers. Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK , works in the film industry advising Hollywood on everything from covert procedure to training civilian actors to act like soldiers and he continues to be a spokesperson and fundraiser for both military and literacy charities. www.andymcnab.co.uk

|In response to Re: Kohler Pressure Clear Flushometer
That model number may not be accurate. Kohler numbers are usually K-XXXX, a K followed by a four digit number. If this is a recently manufactured toilet, it may have the Sloan Flushmate in it, in which case you can go to their Web site at www.flushmate.com for instructions in repair and maintenance. If it's an earlier Kohler with their own system, you may have to contact Kohler directly (www.boldlookofkohler.com).
: Has anyone ever worked on one of these? My specific model is the Kohler 81100, and it's one of those pressure cannister flushers. It's lost a lot of its oomph in the flush.
: What causes this? Are the parts still available to fix it? Thanks.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The 2012 high school track season has officially started and the Emery High boy's and girl's teams have participated in two qualifying track meets so far. Emery opened the season in Moab in the Red Rock Invitational and the teams finished tied for second with Grand High. Wasatch High won the meet.
Emery then participated in the Pine View Invitational in Washington. Almost 50 high schools came to this two-day event. The Emery girls placed 11th out of 26 schools that actually scored in the track meet. Ashlynn Allred, a freshman finished second in the 100 meter race and second in the long jump for the best showing by an Emery athlete. Blayr Jeffs placed sixth in the long jump and Brendon Jorgensen placed eighth in the long jump. These were the Emery athletes that placed in the meet.
Allred lost the 100-meter race to Aimee Wheeler of Springville High. Wheeler ran a 12.80 and Allred ran a 12.86. Wheeler finished second last season in the 4-A state meet. Allred finished ahead of the 3-A second place finisher from last season. In the long jump, Springville's Wheeler, the defending 4-A champion, finished first with a jump of 17'11" while Allred jumped 16'3.25". Jeffs jumped 15'4.5". Both Allred and Jeffs got off longer jumps but scratched in the process to negate their efforts. Brendon Jorgensen, the only boy to place, jumped 19'9" to score for Emery. Jorgensen, although he didn't place, ran fast enough in the 110-meter hurdles and the 300-meter hurdles to qualify for state in those events.
Two Spartan relay teams also qualified for state with their times. The girl's 4x400 relay team of Catherine Dyer, Blayr Jeffs, Jessica Guymon and Hannah Dyer finished in 4:30.97 to qualify. The boy's 4x400 team of McKlane Allred, David Dyer, Scott Jackson and Tyler Pulli ran a 3:41.99 to also qualify.
At Moab, Allred finished first in the 100-meters and the 200-meters. The 4x100 relay team of Allred, Catherine Dyer, Jeffs and Hailee Rogers also finished first Jessica Guymon finished third in the high jump with a jump of 4'9" and fifth in the 300-meter hurdles. Blayr Jeffs finished second in the long jump with a jump of 16' and Hailee Rogers finished third with a jump of 15'4.5". Hannah Dyer placed seventh in the shot put. The 4x400 relay team of Catherine Dyer, Hanna Dyer, Jessica Guymon and Hailee Rogers finished second. For the boy's team, Scott Jackson finished second in the 400-meter race and seventh in the 100-meters. Brendon Jorgensen finished fourth in the 110-meter hurdles, fourth in the long jump and fifth in the 300-meter hurdles. Nagel Viera was eighth in the 300 hurdles. Emery placed four people in the high jump. Gavin Oviatt placed second, Taylor Hansen placed third, Justin Potter was fourth and Dillon Wilstead was fifth. Kalin Reynolds was seventh in the javelin. The 4x100 relay team of Dyer, Jackson, Jorgensen and Viera finished third.
Emery has an easy schedule until April 14 when they go to Carbon for the Carbon Farm Bureau meet that is a qualifying meet.

This is important (for me, from a sysadmin perspective) for existing 2.1 production sites. Would appreciate someone adding netspot and/or partner label to this one if possible.
Adding Petr here, I don't feel myself strong enough to backport
MDL-30026 to 21_STABLE. Which are your thoughts, Petr?
With 2.2 out since 4 months ago... Tom, does this continue being important?
Eloy, yes - clients will be on 2.1 for some time and this is a pretty significant performance/availability issue.
Hi, I can crete patch, but somebody has to test it on real systems before it gets integrated. Are you going to help?
I'm happy to run-test it under the 4DBs if needed, np here.
And I bet Tom will be able to do some real testing in some real site with real load. Tom?
Also, we have MDL-32236, uhm.. somehow related.
Hmm, no idea what the problem is in MDL-32236 and I have no way to find out because windows is not on my test server, sorry.
(delaying thins for next week, I got stuck with other DB issues and integration and was not able to review this with all the required care)
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
Ping, seems the branch is not available. Halting this for some hours...
Integrated, thanks!
Note to testers: This has been tested under mysql, pgsql, mssql and oracle (and there are not session/locks tests failing). Only sqlsrv driver needs testing.
No error related to "test_session lock.
Following error/exception happen:

Equal expectation fails because [Integer: 0] differs from [Integer: 4] by 4 at [/var/www/test/lib/dml/simpletest/testdml.php line 1475]
Oh, 2 little things:
1) The "data seek" exceptions are "normal" under mssql. Can be ignored safely. The other 2 "0 differs from 4" surprised me, so I went to look and it seems that you have performed the testrun into some incorrect branch (master?). Note this issue is 21_STABLE only and tests must be performed there.
2) More yet, the tests must be performed with "sqlsrv", not with "mssql". It's the only database not tested here.
So, I'm sending this back to "waiting for testing" status... ciao
My Bad..
I was running this on mssql not sqlsrv... Which is required for this test.
Will request Michael to run this, as I don't have sqlsrv setup.
Yeah, we need to test that under (windows-only) Microsoft's sqlsrv driver.
In any case, Rajesh, something is still bad/missing in your "mssql" installation. You should not get failures in test_reset_sequence() nor test_change_field_type() nor test_concurent_transactions().
Note that does not affect result of testing. I'm passing here the "mssql" ones properly, with the expected (3 exceptions + 4 failures). But the extra 3 failures you're getting are not expected at all.
Waiting for Michael results using "sqlsrv"...
Thanks Eloy...
It seems db alter command was not executed.
Will wait for Aparup to come back and see how it goes (As he created MSSQl account for me.)
I tried to run the PHPUnit tests under SQL Server on Windows, but it stalled.
I will try to run it again overnight and see if there is any difference.
I had success with sqlsrv driver version 3.0 only, the older 2.0 version drivers takes down PHP process randomly.
PHPUnit tests? it is 21_STABLE so only simpletest should be there.
The most I see all your continue problems runnning mssql and sqlsrv, the most I think there is something missing there, in your SQL*Server server. I've pointed Rajesh about some "ALTER DATABASE..." statements required on db creation. They are all documented in the Docs. Let's see if that solves your problems there.
In the mean time I'm going to ask Petr for testing this using the sqlsrv driver. And, if I'm able to do so I'll try to have here also one windows instance with sqlsrv available.
ah, lol, just saved my comment and saw Petr's one 2 mins before, hehe.
So perhaps we should be recommending to use the 3.0 driver exclusively?
In any case, I'd pass this. Knowing the involved code, it's a 100% copycat of the one present in 22 and master, so I cannot imagine any reason to avoid this to pass.
I tried a few installs using 3.0 driver and different browser, it failed the first time, now it works 100% here in functional tests (I do my little hacking for case sensitiveness to make it work with case sensitive collation, it is already in master). So I guess this patch does not introduce any new problems.
Looks like I should have been paying more attention. Raj asked me to test this one also and I assumed he wanted me to run the PHPUnit tests with SQL Server.
I set up a 2.1 instance with SQL Server and I am able to run the Functional DB tests with only one fail: dml_test / ► test_sql_binary_equal and this has to do with my collation, which is case insensitive.
I'm using the version 3 drivers (eg. php_sqlsrv_53_ts_vc9.dll).
So that looks consistent to me.
Bonza mate!
Your changes have made it into the Moodle release! Its time to celebrate! Put a shrimp on the barbie and grab a stubby.

Since then, the Red Cross cut its deficit by 30 percent, but many blood types -- especially O-Negative, O-Positive, A-Negative and B-Negative -- are still in high demand.
According to Donna M. Morrissey, the director of communications for the American Red Cross Northeast Division, in fiscal year 2011 -- which stretches from July to June -- the organization received more than 6 million donations nationwide. But in fiscal year 2012, the number dipped to 5.87 million.
The situation in the New York City area is not that extreme, but many local blood centers and hospitals are still urging anyone eligible to donate blood and platelets.
"At this point, the situation hasn't been critical, not yet. We haven't experienced the same issues as the rest of the country," said Dr. Edahn Isaak, the director of transfusion medicine for Staten Island University Hospital's North and South Sites.
However, Dr. Isaak said there's always a slowdown of donations during the holidays and especially during the summer. Many schools that usually host drives close for the season, and many businesses don't sponsor drives this time of year because staff members go away on vacation.
So, just because supplies are stable now, that doesn't mean donors aren't needed.
Dr. Isaak urges people to take advantage of the hospital's blood donation bus and sponsor their own drives. The hospital's north site in Ocean Breeze also has its own donor center which collects about 3,000 to 3,500 units of whole blood and about 400 of plasma per year.
Ann Marie Brown, the blood bank manager for Richmond University Medical Center, said they too have their own donor center, which annually collects about 500 units of whole blood. Even though the hospital does not have a mobile bus for sponsored drives, all are welcome to schedule an appointment on site.
While the hospital has not had to cancel any elective surgeries like hip or knee replacements recently, one bad week could limit supplies, according to Mrs. Brown.
"God forbid that something happens, we need blood in the refrigerator. There needs to be a constant supply because it's a pipeline," said Christine Dingfelder, manager of medical communications for the New York Blood Center, which provides blood units to over 200 hospitals in the metropolitan area -- including Staten Island University Hospital.
Mrs. Dingfelder said that overall supplies are strong, but that they stay strong due to continued donations.
You can't wait for a crisis to donate, she said, because the supplies need to be there before one even occurs.
The need for blood is constant
Donate blood todayJust because Island hospitals aren't in a state of crisis, that doesn't mean your help isn't needed. Donors must be healthy, at least 16 years old (with parent's written consent) and weigh at least 110 pounds. Anyone eligible should eat before giving blood and have a photo ID at the ready. Below is information about when and where you can donate:
