Technology and the library: Snapshot of trends
In a recent survey of librarians*, we asked about IT skills needed within the digital library. Many librarians accommodate functions traditionally associated with IT, which requires considerable time to keep abreast of developments. However, over a third outsource systems management where the highest degree of specialist knowledge is required. With increased demand for IT knowledge and skills, roughly two-thirds of librarians surveyed have seen some degree of increase in roles such as "e-librarian."....Read more

University of Turin E-book Pilot Project
The University of Turin libraries launched an E-book Pilot Project as a means of addressing gaps in the provision of e-books and determining the best way forward for future e-book efforts. At the outset of this project, the libraries were not providing access to many e-books, and apart from some experimentation with e-book trials, library staff had few e-book management skills. E-books were relatively unknown to our patrons and e-reading device lending had never been tested before. As a result, users were not asking librarians for e-book content.....Read more

A demand-driven acquisition model based on price
In 2010, the University of Kansas Libraries developed a pilot project to purchase print books using a demand-driven acquisition (DDA) program. Library users can request a purchase through a record loaded in the library catalog. The library rush orders the book and notifies the patron when it arrives, usually within five business days. E-books became the obvious next choice for inclusion in the DDA program, but with two differences from print books.....Read more

Preparing for a different kind of disaster: The departure of the electronic resources librarian
Floods, fires, medical emergencies and other perilous situations, although rare, do occur, and most libraries have plans in place to manage them. Employee turnover, on the other hand, happens regularly, yet many libraries are unprepared for the subsequent loss of knowledge, data and information. This may be an especially serious problem when an electronic resources librarian leaves because these librarians possess not only institutional history, but also procedural and technical information that helps keep a library's electronic resources up and running.....Read more

Mid-winter break activities for kids
By REPORTER STAFF
Mercer Island Reporter Staff
January 31, 2013 · 10:27 AM
Mercer Island schools' mid-winter break is just around the corner. Not sure what to do with your kids? Check out these activities.
• Youth Theatre Northwest is holding camps the week of Feb. 18.
'Arts Fusion' for grades K-2 will involve lessons in movement, visual arts and theater. Students will dive into the story "But No Elephants," by Jerry Smath. Students will be guided through the process of staging each page of the book while contributing their own ideas. On the last day of camp, the students will present their art and performances.
'Fractured Fairy Tales' is for grades 3-8.
In this camp, students will tackle a collection of mixed-up fairy tales, including "Cinderella Outgrows the Glass Slipper." Education director Amanda Lee Williams and stagecraft specialist Phoenix Smith will work with the students to create every aspect of a production as an ensemble. The goal is for students to gain confidence on stage as they bring these characters and stories to life with costumes, props, sets, lights and sound. A final performance will be Friday, Feb. 22.
For information, cost and options for after-camp care, go to www.youththeatre.org/classes-camps/mid-winter-break-camps.
• The Stroum Jewish Community Center will also be holding youth camps between Feb. 18 and 22, including a day of exploration and learning at the Pacific Science Center.

Lena Dunham confronts Howard Stern over little fat chick remark
Lena Dunham sat down with Howard Stern to confront the man who called her a little fat chick on his radio show.
Last week, Stern described the Girls star as a little fat girl who kinda looks like Jonah Hill, and she keeps taking her clothes off, and it kind of feels like rape. Angry fans hit back at the shock jock and he has since issued a very public apology.
On his radio show today Stern immediately lavished Dunham with praise. I realize: not only am I addicted, but I totally get you. Im in love with you and your character.

Stay tuned on PODAS news and updates on the PODAS blog.
The Kimberley, also known as 'Paradise on Earth', is located in beautiful Western Australia, and was one of the earliest settled parts of Australia. Where the sky meets the land, the desert meets the sea, where white sands, red rocks and cobalt blue waters come together, here rests the town of Broome from where your journey will begin.As with all PODAS adventures we'll quite literally "hit the ground (and water) running." Each participant will be shooting this adventure with a state-of-art 60 megapixel Phase One IQ160 camera system. Your images will be rich with more detail and color than you ever thought possible.It all begins when you board the magnificent True North in the beautiful port of Broome. You will embark at 1700H (5 pm) – in time for a cocktail with your fellow adventurers before an approximate 1830H (6:30 pm) departure. Dinner is served shortly after leaving port for the overnight cruise to Yampi Sound.
Day OneAwaken early and witness a gorgeous sunrise on majestic Kimberley, and savour an irresistible True North breakfast as we glide past Cockatoo and Koolan Islands. Our attentive crew will be happy to introduce the colorful histories of both islands while helping you capture the best possible images. Next, it's time to 'personally' introduce you to a Kimberley icon – The Horizontal Falls. Have your cameras ready to experience the awesome power of the region's huge tidal range in an exhilarating tender ride. Then climb aboard your air-conditioned helicopter for a view of the falls that very few experience! You will have hardly had a chance to catch your breath when, for those who can't wait one minute longer, you'll be at Leadline Creek and have the first opportunity to 'land a barra'! (if you prefer some fishing as break from your photography). Before you know it, your first day onboard will be coming to an end – but there's still time to select a fine wine and to enjoy a leisurely evening meal as we cruise to Doubtful Bay and shoot even more exquisite images.
Day TwoThis morning is devoted to exploring the Sale River. We will 'ride the tide' on a classic river expedition with beautiful images around every bend. Enjoy a swim in your very own billabong (small lake) before returning to the ultimate comfort of the True North. You'll be enjoying lunch as we weigh anchor and cruise for another Kimberley icon -Montgomery Reef! Montgomery is a unique eco-system that must be seen to be believed – and see it you will – as 140 square miles of coral reef rises out of the ocean before your astonished eyes! Water cascades from the reef as the tide falls, exposing a privileged view of another world. Turtles, dugong, manta rays and every imaginable sea creature abound, and the helicopter puts all into perspective! Whether from sea level or from the air, this will be a place to capture some special photographs.During our downtimes and cruises to different locations we hold classroom lectures on Capture One Pro, and each instructor will present a lecture or two on their own styles of photography. You'll find these lectures inspiring -- they will help you see things differently as you explore this vast wilderness. We will also have time for one-on-one sessions with instructors, including an over all print critique.
Day ThreeEarly-risers will be treated to a heli-flight with a difference - a champagne sunrise on the top of a mountain! What could be better than shooting a magnificent sunrise with a glass of champagne and a Phase One camera on a tripod? The astonishing scenery includes so many spots that you won't want to miss as the True North graces the majestic Prince Regent River. At King's Cascades we maneuver the True North right under the falls. Then it's time for more 'adventure in the tender' - a chance to stretch the laces on your hiking boots and an opportunity to swim in yet another picture-perfect billabong. The helicopter will be popular again when the first group of intrepid explorers returns from Jurassic Park! Photo opportunities abound at every one of these stops.
Day FourIf you think the Regent was good, wait until you see the Hunter! With stunning red cliffs set behind rainforest and mangroves, the Hunter River is yet another awesome setting for both photographs and simple exploring! It's only a short hike to Jackson Falls and even more splendor from the helicopter! Hopefully we'll have time for a sunset drink on Naturaliste Island while shooting sunset, and then it's an overnight cruise to Vansittart Bay. Time for some well deserved rest.
Day FiveToday there will be an opportunity to see the "Bradshaws," possibly the oldest art known to man. The heli-picnic at Eagle Falls is always a 'big hit,' the tenders will be busy exploring local beaches and creeks, and we will also visit the site of a bomber that crashed during WWII. Overnight we cruise to Koolama Bay. Need we say more? You will want to make sure that your batteries are charged, as this is another day of great photography.
Day SixToday we meet another mighty Kimberley river – The King George! As soon as the tide is high enough, we'll cross the sand bars at the mouth to reveal even an more breathtaking river vista. Then our journey upstream will take us to the very 'jewel in the crown' - The King George Falls. You'll certainly want to be on deck with your cameras for this portion of the cruise. Here we anchor at the base of the Twin Falls and you will find endless places to explore. Climb or take the helicopter, to the top of the falls for a cruise highlight. The images you make here will light up your walls when you've returned home. (Although the thought of leaving this magnificence could well inspire mutiny!) Visit Koolama Bay and learn about the bombing of a state-ship during WWII, then take a stroll at Tranquil Bay before we continue to the frontier port of Wyndham.
Day SevenYour courtesy coach will arrive at approximately 0800H (8 am) to take you to Kununurra. When it's over, you will have incredible memories and spectacular images. You will have visited one of the hardest-to-reach areas in the world, a place that only a few humans have visited. And although the trip will be over, you will enjoy the images and the new friends you've made on this PODAS adventure.
Registration Don't hesitate. Follow the link and book your spot on this cruise to The Kimberleys today.

The Dolomites in Italy have some of the most spectacular peaks on earth. The region is truly an alpine paradise for the outdoor fanatic and landscape photographer. The striking originality of the Dolomites landscape lies in the contrast between the upper and lower parts of the mountains. Below around 2,000 meters are gentle rolling mountains covered with verdant forests and lush green meadowland scattered with old wooden barns. Enchanting villages complete with picturesque churches either nestle in the nooks and crannies, or perch precariously on the steep hillsides.
The Dolomites feature an incredible variety of diverse landscapes – from lush valleys to towering peaks – that offer breathtaking panoramas at every turn. These beautiful mountains offer endless opportunities for exploration and stunning photography. Throw in amazing light and clouds and you'll have a computer full of wall worthy images on your return home.
All attendees will be loaned the state-of-the-art Phase One IQ160 camera system (featuring the Phase One DF camera, the 60 megapixel IQ160 digital back and an 80mm LS lens) to shoot with during the workshop. In addition we will have several sets of the full line of Phase One lenses available so you will always have the right lens for the location we visit. As a PODAS workshop attendee, you will have a no-worries trip. We'll pick you up at the airport, provide transportation during the event, a single-occupancy room, the best instructors in the field, all your meals and beverages, a camera bag that is yours to keep, a license for Capture One Pro that is yours to keep, 2-30x40 prints of images you shot during the workshop. The only things you need to bring to this workshop are a sturdy tripod, CF cards and your computer. Everything else is taken care of.
Instructors: Hans KruseHans Kruse is an experienced Danish landscape and nature photographer as well as a great instructor on fine art landscape shooting. Hans's creative eye and years of experience has allowed him to capture the beauty of this region unlike any other photographer. Hans knows all the unique spots in the Dolomites that you wouldn't normally go to. Hans has carefully selected the locations that we will visit to make sure that you will have the best opportunity to capture truly stunning images.Check out Hans´ work herewww.hanskrusephotography.com
Ken DuncanKen Duncan is well known as the pioneer of Limited Edition Photographic Art in Australia. After a visit to New York in the early 1980's, Ken returned home with a dream to have photography widely accepted as an art form in this country. Ken is truly passionate about his craft. Always striving for excellence, he travels extensively throughout the world in search of the stunning panoramic landscapes - or Panographs - for which he is best known. Recognised internationally as a gifted and prolific landscape photographer, Ken still chooses to describe himself as "... an average photographer, with a great God - merely an interpreter of God's creation". The art, he says, is in seeing, capturing and presenting these images to others. And this Ken does with his own unique style and his exceptional ability to capture the very spirit of a place at a given moment in time.Check out Ken´s work herewww.kenduncan.com
PODAS workshops are well known for accomplishing a lot in just a few days. This workshop will be no different. Locations shots each day are based on weather and light. The Dolomites have their own unique light and we will take advantage of the light to capture the best light on peaks and mountains as well as the beautiful valleys. This is a no worries workshop for you. We will pick you up at the Milan Malpenasa airport and return you to the airport when the workshop is over. Everything in between is covered.
Upon arrival to our workshop hotel you will check in and then we will begin our fun. After an introduction to the agenda, you will be given a Phase One camera IQ 160 system that is yours to keep throughout the workshop. If you are not already familiar in working with a Phase One camera, we will make sure you get proper instructions on how to operate the camera so you are ready for an early morning shoot the following day.
Our itinerary will be flexible as each days shooting locations will be based on weather forecasts and cloud cover to determine the best locations. You can count on early morning sunrises while the light is emerging and sunset shoots until the sun sets behind spectacular mountain peaks. We will be shooting at these locations, Carezza and Lago di Carezza, Val Alpe di Siusi, Passo Sella, Passo Fedaia, Passo Pordoi, Passo rolle and Val di Funes.
After sunrise shoots we will enjoy a breakfast and move into the classroom for one of many lectures. These lectures will include composition, photographic philosophies of both instructors, processing and post processing as well as basic and advanced lesson in Capture One. We will also have a lecture on "Now That You Have Got It What Do You Do With It". We will spend each afternoon until after sunset shooting at some amazing locations. Followed by a dinner and an opportunity to continue conversations on photography and techniques. There will be plenty of time for one on one print critiques as well as towards the end of the workshop a critique of the group's favorite images. This will provide an amazing learning experience that will surely improve the way you see and shoot.
PODAS workshops have a certain magic that develops over the days we are together. You'll learn, share, make new friends and have a few good laughs. We emphasize you'll have fun and more than anything else you'll learn some new techniques and return home with some wall worthy images.

Saratoga Springs City School District alters lunch payment policy to shake debt
SARATOGA SPRINGS — After several years of dealing with unpaid lunch debts, the city school district is initiating a new process for charging lunches that it hopes will eliminate a deficit in the thousands of dollars while still keeping students fueled.
Under the new policy, which will take effect Friday, Feb. 1, elementary and middle school students will be allowed to charge their lunch just three times if they forget to bring in lunch money and their debit account is empty.
High school students will no longer be allowed to charge lunches at all.
If a student owes money, parents are asked to send payment to the cafeteria or pay the account through the PayPAMS website, which the school district uses for its student debit account system.
Currently, students are permitted to set up debit accounts through the PayPAMS service and replenish them as needed through cash or checks. Under the soon-to-be-obsolete policy, if a student's account dipped below zero, the child was permitted to charge meals when needed, the district trusting the money would be promptly repaid.
However, between students forgetting they owed money and parents sometimes not knowing at all, the deficit accumulated.
So far this school year, the district is owed approximately $5,000 from students in all eight Saratoga Springs schools, said Douglas Silvernell, assistant superintendent of 21st-century teaching and learning.
"Our school principals had become concerned about the amount of money owed and unpaid. They were paying for that deficit out of their school budgets," he said.
Administrators went about developing a plan for students' debit accounts, communicating with children and families about the issue and seeing that kids with no money in their lunch accounts are still fed.
"We won't let kids go hungry," Silvernell said. "Each school will come up with its own plan to handle the situation. We will call parents to bring in lunch. Some buildings might give students who have no lunch money soup, cheese sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly or granola bars. We want to make sure kids eat." Continued...
Greenfield Elementary School Principal Tina Davis agreed. Children who need a lunch can call home, first of all. Then, in collaboration with her building's Home School Association, Davis will have sandwich fixings available for children without a lunch. Teachers and parents bring in snacks as well.
"As school administrators, we're responsible for maintaining a safe, supportive environment for the students," Davis said. "At the same time, our present challenge is this high number of unpaid lunch balances. Our school is at $438 so far since September. That means that the actions of some are taking educational resources away from the rest."
Davis and her staff examined the previous lunch-charging procedure and what wasn't working. They found that although most school families received calls about money owed, parents sometimes got wrong or incomplete information. The school took this opportunity to go through its list of balances owed and made out slips to send home about the money. Staff will now alert parents before too much debt is accumulated.
"The procedure will work with 98 percent of our students," she said. "For the other 2 percent, we will call other family members to bring in lunch or be sure the children are fed here. We have a number of resources available. We're blessed to have such a supportive community."
Silvernell said some people who might qualify for free or reduced lunch are too proud or shy to fill out an application, preferring to charge if they are unable to pay. He said it's still a priority that these children have lunch.
"Money tends to come between people," he said. "I understand this because I was in the same situation as a child. Back then, for free lunch we had these little white tickets, so everyone around us knew. But now, all the kids just type in a number to get their meal."
He intends to prioritize identifying and reaching out to families in need. School counselors also are available to help.
Both Silvernell and Davis are optimistic the new procedure will go well after a few initial bumps. Davis said saving the lost money is in the best interests of the students.
"This will help the children be more prepared," she said. "They need to remember their math homework, their boots for recess and now their lunch money. They'll be ready for their day."

Google agrees to acquire Panoramio
The integration of photos from Panoramio in Google Earth has been so successful since John Hanke suggested it that we see the acquisition of Panoramio as a natural consequence. We have tightened our relationship with Google Earth more and more in recent months, and at the end we decided to walk one step further. After so much work together, honestly, we couldn't imagine a better scenario than selling Panoramio to Google. Most people upload their photos to Panoramio to share them through Google Earth, and it's way cool to see Panoramio's photos in Google Earth, so the upcoming acquisition reaffirms the current win-win situation.
For now, our user interface will not change; accounts, urls, features... We will keep working for Panoramio as a team, but this time using Google infrastructure as Panoramio further integrates into Google's mapping technologies. We will also keep answering e-mails directly as much as possible.
The upcoming acquisition will bring many advantages to Panoramio users, starting with a better infrastructure to improve the reliability of Panoramio, more frequent updates of Panoramio's Google Earth layer, and more resources for some invisible tasks that take time out from working on new features.
To watch our little project grow since its conception one and a half years ago has been an amazing experience, and we hope to make it even bigger with this step and with your continued support. We have worked hard to arrive to this point, but we know we could not do it without all of you, the wonderful community of people that upload their best photos to Panoramio. You deserve all the credit. There are no words to say how honoured we feel when someone decides to choose Panoramio for sharing their photos.
We have lots of ideas in the pipeline. Our baby is still growing, so stay tuned!
José, Joaquín and Eduardo

Congratulations team! It's been great to see the site go from strength to strength - I remember when we didn't even have tags!
Matthew - Claudio PedrazziMay 31, 2007 at 1:12 AM
Well, it was probably the logical consequence of the huge success of the idea. I am happy for you, José, Joaquín and Eduardo. For Panoramio, I hope for the best. If the accounts remain free (at least for geographically descriptive photos) it will certainly gain from the integration. I hope that Picasa, already part of Google Pack, will receive an "upload to Panoramio" option, for geotagged photos.
On the other side, I hope to be wrong, but I fear that the whole site will become a little more "impersonal". It was fun knowing "who" was behind the scene working hard and trying to keep up the good work.
Anyway, my congratulations!
Claudio - PieterMay 31, 2007 at 1:28 AM
Congratulations ! I was allready thinking for myself that it would be great thing to integrate more with Google.
Hope there will come an interface for Picasa also.
btw, seems my Picasa-Google Earth geotagged picture aren't automaticaly mapped anymore in Panoramio, possible ? - Jared J. MyersMay 31, 2007 at 7:27 AM
¡Os felicito! - No solamente tuvisteis una idea fantástica en el momento apropiado, sino dedicáis un montón de trabajo constante en esto - y se notó el efecto de todo el labor por el mejoramiento constante. ¡Espero que vayáis a obtener lo que merecéis!
También esperoque no se vayan a cambiar drásticamente los términos de uso para Panoramio; p. ej. respecto a los derechos del autor de las fotos. Me gusta como es ahora, también podría vivir con una licencia general pública (GPL)bajo la cuál publicaría mis fotos - espero que no consideren hacernos transferir los derechos enteros a Google.

Why is picasa geomapped with google earth no longer work when i upload to panoramio?!
its been like 4 days now, and i am very frustrated with no answers.
I've also emailed the admin, no reply yet Normal que estéis contentos ehh!!! jajaja menudo dinerito habréis ganado...
Desde luego Panoramio siempre me ha parecido una idea genial y muy util para navegar por google earth.
En fin, enhorabuena por la venta y ahora a por un nuevo proyecto...
Si necesitáis un diseñador no dudeis en contactar con migo ! :-)This is excellent! I haven't been a Panaramio user for very long, but I love what I've seen! The integration with Google can only be a good thing, congrats! But...I would love to see Google's search integrated into the site. I don't think Panaramio's search works very well, from my limited experience.
ReplyDelete- magic surf busMay 31, 2007 at 11:52 AM
Panoramio is such a good idea I always knew you'd be 'acquired' at some point - a just reward for all your hard work. Do Panoramio members now qualify for discounted shares in Google? ;-)
Any chance of Panoramio feeding directly into Google Image Search via the tag system in the future? That way the results would bring up decent sized images of quality instead of random website graphics. Just a thought anyway.
Well done team - keep up the good work. - montunoMay 31, 2007 at 12:07 PM
La ideas buenas no existen, de lo que se trata es de ejecutarlas bien ;) y vosotros habeis demostrado que sois capaces. Me alegro mucho por vosostros y me enorgullece que un proyecto español llegue a este nivel.

An expected, and deserved development. I wonder now, what will happen further on, in a way I rather liked the "old" setup.
Congrats, guys. Enhorabuena! Una vez más, demostrais que, gracias a Internet, una idea sencilla pero práctica puede dar increíbles frutos.
Espero que os compren Panoramio con muchos millones y tengais la oportunidad de visitar personalmente aquellos sitios que nosotros, humildemente, solo vemos gracias a las fotos publicadas en vuetro sitio web.
Seguid así.

The best ideas are always simple... congratulations to the entire Panoramio team !
ReplyDelete Why to congratulate ? The Panoramio Team made its work very good before...
If Google decide to buy Panoramio -for lots of money- ask yourself: why do they ? To make a good business - of couse. And who will make the business for them ? Those who will see OUR pictures. So don't wonder if we have to pay one time to see our own pics.
My only hope is - that this idea is wrong.

I wish them all the best success for the future. Congratulations to all!

ReplyDelete Dear José, Joaquín and Eduardo,
Congratulations also from my side (as a rather new Panoramio user). It feels always great if one finds one's own concepts and ideas honoured by an undisputed 'number one' in the field ... I know that very well ;-)
That said, I feel always a bit sad to see the really big incumbents snapping up the clever start-ups ... diversity is a value per se.
One last wish: I missing the forum and would love to see it available again.

Congratulations again. I'm glad you're being rewarded for the great work you've done. And I second Dallas59's request. When you are fully integrated into Google, are we contributors going to be moved to and/or added to the GE Community? Frankly, the GE Community forum (which isn't a phpBB forum) is somewhat preferable to the old Panoramio version.

Rosina - are you aware that another user (285731) has copied this photo and is also claiming it, as photo 1447139 ? He's also copied and is claiming Snemann's green fields, and several others.
please help - Nicolas M.June 23, 2007 at 6:47 AM
Félicitations également en provenance de la France.
Je découvre l'univers de Panoramio et je trouve votre idée très intéressante et enrichissante pour tous.
Bonne continuation. - Kostas GrammenidisJune 26, 2007 at 2:39 PM
Don't you think we, the enthousiastic fans of panoramio, deserve a new topic with some info on the forum case, Eduardo?
ReplyDelete I totally agree with Kostas and Roland. Without the forum panoramio is less fun. We need (and deserve) some further information. Why isn't there a road map published to inform us? At least a link to a affiliate Google forum / website would be okay. Fortunately, your new threads show that you seem to be still alive. By the way, I don't like the new grey icon in GE - it should be more colourful.

So after a few days of this, talking to my Mom (nurse), and some internet research, I am sure that I have hives related to this pregnancy. I did not have them with DS and they are now driving me insane!! I already have dry skin issues and these popped up out of nowhere and itch even worse than anything I have experienced before. They move around from day to day and through out the day so it is really difficult to keep it under control. I am using cortisol since it is on the safe to use list the doc sent me. I think I am just going to keep with this routine till I see the doc on the 19th and see if he recommends something else. Due to some abdominal pain the last few days he is thinking of doing some blood work anyways so I am guessing he might do some for this as well. I've read that the pregnancy hormones can cause/make this worse and since I haven't changed anything about how I eat (not adding anything that is) and all the laundry stuff is the same so it has to be something else. Anyone else deal with really annoying hives during pregnancy?
28Feb Update
We did see the OB and there is only 1 baby in there!!! It has been days since I have had to take and meds for itching and the last of the sores of the hives on my chest are almost all gone. I think I am over this pregnancy thingy and ready to move on to the next

Marinades are ineffective as tenderizers, but add deep flavor if used for the correct amount of time.
In the time it takes to render maximum flavor, marinades can turn meat to mush.
We wanted to maximize the flavor imparted by the marinade, while maitaining texture integrity.
If you want tender meat, marinating is not the answer--you should either buy naturally tender cuts or, if you buy tough cuts, braise or stew them. But there is no question that marinades add flavor -- if you soak food in them long enough. To keep the marinades from softening the meat during this long process, we determined that low-acid marinades (with some lemon or vinegar to balance flavors) were optimal. We created several variations, along with a guide for the amount and marinating time, determined by the product.

Match products that fit your vehicle!
Choose a year for your vehicle.
Your Honda Civic Oxygen Sensor allows your engine-control computer to keep the air/fuel ratio consistent. This allows your engine to run more efficiently, which keeps your gas mileage at its optimum level; especially important considering today's gas prices. Located in the exhaust manifold, the Oxygen Sensor accomplishes this by detecting the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust stream and then signaling the engine-control computer with the amount of fuel needed for the proper air/fuel ratio. Your Honda Civic is legendary for its high quality and extreme durability, and every part on it contributes to this total quality picture. You can expect your Oxygen Sensor to last for 50,000 miles or more. However, there are situations which can occur that cause your Oxygen Sensor to become contaminated or even to stop working completely. If you must replace your Honda Civic Oxygen Sensor for any reason, make sure you only install high quality parts that complement the quality and durability your Honda Civic is known for. You do not want to compromise the quality that is built into your Honda by taking a chance on lesser quality parts. You bought a Honda Civic because of these attributes of quality and durability, in addition to classic good looks, and you want to enhance and maximize these qualities by only utilizing the very best quality parts. Auto Parts Network (APN), has a wide selection of quality Honda Civic Oxygen Sensors. We provide the very best customer service and have knowledgeable experts available to help you choose the right parts for your vehicle. APN will always provide you with the best service, competitive prices and the best selection of parts available!

Application Profiles - Overview
Terms of use
Terms of use
These contents have been obtained from the IMS official Web site and edited for presentation. Please refer to the IMS Web site for additional information on terms of use.
An Application Profile is a refinement of an existing specification (or set of specifications) to make it more suitable for its application by a particular community of practice. Some key reasons for developing an Application Profile include:
To meet technical and other requirements and preferences specific to a project, community, domain, or region;
To address ambiguity and generality in a specification or standard;
To foster semantic interoperability, e.g., through the use of commonly understood vocabularies;
To facilitate testing for conformance and successful interoperability.
There are many sources which seek to define Application Profiles more precisely, in particular by defining rules which need to be followed when producing an Application Profile. The main reference works of interest to the learning technology community are reviewed in this section. Whilst there are minor differences in emphasis and interpretation between these sources, it is generally agreed that the process of generating a derived specification and schema is likely to involve one or more of the following activities:
Selection of a core sub-set of elements and fields from the source schema/specification (expressed perhaps as a mandatory sub-set of elements which must be supported as a minimum);
The addition of elements and/or fields (usually referred to as "extensions") to the source schema/specification in a manner defined within the derived schema;
Tightening of constraints placed upon the an element to reflect the needs of the target community (e.g. replacing a free text vaule space with a controlled vocabulary or extending an existing, vocabulary such as a bounded set of competencies or a curriculum model);
Producing a comprehensive description of the semantics and common usage of the data elements as they are to be applied across the community.
The process of of developing an Application Profile can be characterised as involving the following activities:
Localization: the specialization of one or more conceptual data models (source specifications) to the precise needs of a community, generating a derived specification;
Representation: mapping the derived conceptual data model(s) to a technology binding (schema) for interchange;
Transaction: define how the abstract interface and service model, i.e., the APIs, and implied/stated transactions are to be realized utilizing a concrete platform technology.

CEN Guidelines and Support for Building Application Profiles - Overview
Terms of use
These contents have been obtained from the CEN official Web site and edited for presentation. Please refer to the CEN Web site for additional information on terms of use.
European Committee for Standardization
The CEN Workshop Agreement CWA 15555 (
Guidelines and Support for Building Application Profiles in e-Learning
) seeks to address possible confusion and lack of experience amongst communities wishing to develop Application Profiles relating to e-learning.
Application profiles enable "mixing and matching" metadata elements, in order to meet specific requirements for a particular context. As an example, some communities may want to make certain elements mandatory or restrict the value space of a particular element. However, there is much confusion and only limited experience and expertise in the development and deployment of application profiles. That is why the CEN Learning Technologies Workshop decided to develop guidelines on the use of application profiles for e-earning.
Although many of the guidelines presented in this CWA can be applied to any kind of application profile, the focus here is on application profiles for metadata, more specifically for IEEE Learning Object Metadata (LOM). In addition, application profiles of other metadata standards, such as for instance the IMS Learner Information Package (LIP), have also been considered.
In parallel to the CWA, an online
Registry for Application Profiles
equally with a particular focus on the IEEE LOM standard has been developed.

DCMI Guidelines for Dublin Core Application Profiles - Overview
Terms of use
These contents have been obtained from the DCMI official Web site and edited for presentation. Please refer to the DCMI Web site for additional information on terms of use.
Dublin Core Metadata Initiative
When it comes to metadata, one size does not fit all. In fact, one size often does not even fit many. The metadata needs of particular communities and applications are very diverse. The result is a great proliferation of metadata formats, even across applications that have metadata needs in common. The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative has addressed this by providing a framework for designing a Dublin Core Application Profile (DCAP). A DCAP defines metadata records which meet specific application needs while providing semantic interoperability with other applications on the basis of globally defined vocabularies and models.
Note that a DCAP is a generic construct for designing metadata records that does not require the use of metadata terms defined by DCMI. A DCAP can use any terms that are defined on the basis of RDF, combining terms from multiple namespaces as needed. A DCAP follows the DCMI Abstract Model, a generic model for metadata records.
A DCAP includes guidance for metadata creators and clear specifications for metadata developers. By articulating what is intended and can be expected from data, application profiles promote the sharing and linking of data within and between communities. The resulting metadata will integrate with a semantic web of linked data. To achieve this it is recommended that application profiles be developed by a team with specialized knowledge of the resources that need to be described, the metadata to be used in the description of those resources, as well as an understanding of the Semantic Web and the linked data environment.
The interoperability of DCAP-based metadata in linked data environments derives from its basis in standards:
Resource Description Framework (RDF), the foundation standard on which domain standards rest,
the Dublin Core Abstract Model, a generic syntax for metadata records,
the Dublin Core Description Set Profile, a constraint language for Application Profiles
DCMI guidelines for implementation encodings.
NOTE: The
Dublin Core Education Community
is developing an DC-Education Application Profile (DC-Ed AP) intended to describe a precise category of "things in the world" that have been deliberately purposed (or re-purposed) for use in the processes of formal and informal teaching and learning. The DC-Ed AP is limited to defining use of properties describing the educational characteristics of a resource. Properties describing general descriptive attributes of a resource or properties describing use of a resource in contexts other than teaching and learning, are outside the scope of the application profile.

IMS Application Profile Guidelines - Overview
Terms of use
These contents have been obtained from the IMS official Web site and edited for presentation. Please refer to the IMS Web site for additional information on terms of use.
Each of the present set of IMS learning technology specifications has been driven by requirements (normally expressed as use cases) from a cross-section of potential users of the target specification. A user of a specification in this sense encompasses:
Vendors of e-Learning platforms, tools, and services wishing to address a need amongst their existing and prospective customers;
Third-party suppliers of ancillary or related services, e.g. hardware, network services etc.;
Institutions representing adopting communities;
Researchers wishing to harness specifications in applied research of next generation tools and services.
The intention has been and remains, to ensure that specifications going through the IMS process are well grounded in established practice and are sufficiently general to meet the needs of a number of distinct users rather than a special case.
Experience of increasing adoption of the specifications across both vertical domains, i.e., K-12, vocational training, higher education, corporate training, basic skills for life, and geographical regions, has made evident a recurring process of adaptation of the specifications to meet the specific needs of each community.
Agencies undertaking this process clearly have a well identified community in mind and have researched the precise needs of that community, in order to both select the sub-set of the specifications required and propose the necessary changes and extensions to meet their needs.
This emerging model for the adoption process is encouraging as it would seem to confirm that the IMS specifications have indeed been kept sufficiently general for them to have broad-based appeal and offer utility across communities. An Application Profile on the other hand, clearly enhances the utility of a specification to a community and, if adhered to, promises greater interoperability between members of that community.
Experience to-date has identified real benefits to be gained from closer collaboration across communities in developing these profiles, particularly in agreeing basic rules to be followed, and adopting a consistent format for documenting each Application Profile:
Agreeing a consistent set of rules for constructing a profile will bound the changes that can be made thus ensuring greater interoperability across conformant Application Profiles;
Providing consistent documentation of Application Profiles will enable vendors to more easily build products and services that span multiple communities with simple configuration settings for localization;
The growing number of publicly documented Application Profiles will allow subsequent adopting communities to select and reuse elements of existing profiles, rather than develop from first principles;
Ultimately, providing strongly typed, machine readable definitions of these Application Profiles will enable runtime context negotiation between domains to facilitate data exchange and interoperability across communities.
IMS Application Profile Guidelines
define a process for taking one or more source specifications and refining these to create a tighter and more cohesive specification (i.e. the profile) that meets the requirements of a specific target community. Crucially, a well defined profile should be precise about what must be supported, thus offering implementers a clear and unambiguous target for them to achieve conformance.

the rawkingest post hardcore/emo band EVER! The hair! Its aliiive! augh! IKSOSE:3 is fabulous...mmmmm shiny and new...
Bring on The 29th man! wooooooo! Emo Dude #1: Hey, you going to see Coheed and Cambria Tonight?
Emo Dude #2: Yeah, cool! Rawk on man! |
1. | Coheed and Cambria | ||
Often mislabeled as an "emo" band, Coheed and Cambria is actually a Progressive Rock band, with a sound similar to bands like Rush and Yes of the 1980s, with concept albums similar to Pink Floyd's The Wall. The idea of the giant story spanning all of their music, ie: the concept albums, is perhaps the most alluring aspect of their music.
Synopsis of the Coheed and Cambria storyline: "There are differing theories about the story of Coheed and Cambria, but from the lyrics of the two albums and the beginning of the story spelled out in graphic novel #1, it is known that Coheed and Cambria Killgannon are a married couple living on Earth in the distant future. The story is centered around a vast structure called the Keywork, a galactic force holding together 78 planetary systems. For some reason, part of the Keywork comes loose, threatening a cataclysmic disaster for the universe. Coheed and Cambria are "Guardians of the Keywork" and Coheed is sent to a distant planet to repair the damage. Apparently, Coheed is the only person capable of doing this. Unfortunately, someone has injected a serum, called the 'Monstar virus,' into Coheed's body. Once activated, the Monstar leads to a disaster of apocolyptic proportions for mankind. However, the Monstar can only be activated by introducing a liquid called 'the ciache' into the host's bloodstream, and then making eye contact with the trigger counterpart (presumably, Cambria). Coheed has passed a form of the virus, known a... |
2. | coheed and cambria | ||
Gives you goosebumps everytime you hear it hehe Shabutie!
3. | Coheed and Cambria | ||
I hate it when people call Co&CA an emo band because they're not. You dont hear them singing about breaking up or how much they hate their parents do you? Their true musical genre is (deny if you want but it wont change the truth) Alternative metal,Indie pop/rock. So before you start talking shit about Coheed and Cambria, think to yourself- a million other people out there are dissing (badly) your favorite band as well. If you hate Co&CA, you can blow me
4. | coheed and cambria | ||
incredible, incredible band. their sound cannot be matched.
In Keeping Secret Of Silent Earth: 3 needs to come out yesterday because i need my Coheed and Cambria fix.
5. | coheed and cambria | ||
One of the best bands ever! The lead singer has an incredibly high vocal range, which makes them unique. To anyone that says they suck
"FUCK YOU, coheed and cambria rock!" |
6. | coheed and cambria | ||
In reality this is a kick ass band with great musical talent and an equally great talent for writing. In a fictional world, Coheed and Cambria are husband and wife in a science fiction story written by the singer of the band Claudio Sanchez. The story revolves around Coheed transforming into the Monstar after being injected with a serum by a dragonfly, and the fate of the universe rests in his hands. Claudio wrote himself into the story as the last remaining child of 4, the other 3 were murdered by their parents Coheed and Cambria. Claudio is now The Crowing or a messiah like character. If you are still interested, the graphic novels written by Claudio tell the entire story. Matt: Hey you know that band Coheed and Cambria?
Azn Jon: Yeah what about em? Matt: You are gay. |

awesome band!!! coheed and cambria sings "devil in jersey city."

After seeing some cute photos of Shantel at a recent fashion week show, I decided to Google her to see more gorgeousness. I think she may be my new beauty role model. Glowing skin, check. Flowy hair, check. Always smiling, check. Gorgeous yet not overdone makeup, check. What's not to love? Plus her character on OTH is lovely, no matter how corny the script is (did I mention I cry every episode? I'm a sap.)
She is one of the few celebrities I know who can really pull off any hair color. Blonde, brunette, redhead, she's done it all, fabulously.
Also---her makeup is stunning. She is naturally very pretty of course, but the way her makeup is done perfectly defines her features without overshadowing them. And please, for the love of God, someone tell me how she gets that perfect glow to her skin so we can all benefit from whatever product(s) she's using. Seriously, LOOK at her cheeks in every picture! Beautiful.
Another thing I admire about her is how she wears her hair pulled back a lot. This is something I've never been comfortable with, but she pulls it off effortlessly and looks gorgeous doing so.
Now, back to the hair. Lately on OTH, she's been wearing it down in bouncy loose waves and it's so pretty. She seems to be going blonder as the season goes on, which I like. I also love her hair sort of a lighter brown with highlights, very pretty and natural looking.
So ladies, what do you say? Is Shantel our 2011 celebrity beauty inspiration?
