ThreatsGervais' beaked whales have been incidentally taken as bycatch in fishing gear, such as pound nets off the U.S. Atlantic coast and potentially in driftnets and gillnets. This species may be captured in the Caribbean Sea for food. This species of beaked whale may be sensitive to underwater sounds and anthropogenic noise. Anthropogenic noise levels in the world's oceans are an increasing habitat concern, particularly for deep-diving cetaceans like Gervais' beaked whales that use sound to feed, communicate, and navigate in the ocean.

Joe H. invites a rowdy bunch comrades over for a thrilling game of Nutta Muffin. Each boy proceeds to thoroughly pleasure themselves until they ejaculate all of over the muffin. Joe unfortunately, is too slow. He ejaculates last and therefore, must eat the man frosted muffin.

On a recent trip to to Salt Lake city, the first time I had ever left the SLC airport, a friend and I stopped at the Blue Plate Diner for a quick bite to eat on the way to a conference. Blue Plate Diner was featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.
I had a vegan burger and cajun fries. The burger is assembled with beans, cooked oatmeal, onions and plenty of other non-meaty goodness. The burger was served on a toasted fresh bun and was fantastic.
The Blue Plate Diner is a collection of restaurant artifacts from the Salt Lake area. Booths from an old diner, a soda fountain from a general store up the road.
The test of any restaurant is if you would go back. To answer that question, on the way back to the airport, we stopped in again for a pre-flight meal. This time it was Chicken Fried Steak for me.
Served with home fries and 3 eggs over easy, this was an amazing end to a trip to my trip to Salt Lake. I'd recommend the vegan burger over the breakfast, but I was not disappointed in either.

This is an excerpt from Clinical Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, by Jonathan K. Ehrman, Paul M. Gordon, Paul S. Visich, and Steven J. Keteyian
Several studies have found exercise to be an effective treatment for depression (34,35,44). In a recent meta-analysis (30), the researchers concluded that exercise was superior to no treatment and was as effective as cognitive therapy in treating depression. To date, only one study has examined the use of exercise compared with antidepressant medication (sertraline hydrochloride) as a treatment for MDD in older adults. In this study (8), 156 middle-aged and older adults diagnosed with MDD were randomized to supervised exercise, sertraline, or a combination of exercise and sertraline. The 16 wk exercise treatment consisted of three weekly sessions of aerobic activity. By the end of the treatment period, each of the three treatment groups experienced a significant reduction in their levels of depression. The treatments did not differ significantly from one another in efficacy, suggesting that exercise may be a viable alternative to medication in the treatment of MDD.
A follow-up assessment completed 6 mo after treatment was initiated (3) showed that those individuals assigned to exercise alone experienced lower rates of depression than did those who received medication or a combination of exercise and medication. In addition, only 9% of remitted participants in the exercise group relapsed, compared with more than 30% of participants in the medication and combination groups. Another finding was that 64% of participants who received the exercise treatment continued to exercise following completion of the program. Self-reported exercise among all participants was associated with a 50% reduction in risk of depression 6 mo after the study ended. In sum, exercise may be as effective as antidepressant medication in the reduction of depressive symptoms.
A number of potential mechanisms may be responsible for the reduction in depressive symptoms associated with exercise (10). For example, the central monoamine theory suggests that exercise corrects dysregulation of the central monoamines believed to lead to depression. Psychological factors also may be responsible for exercise-related improvements in mood. One hypothesis is that exercise reduces depression through increases in self-esteem and self-efficacy. Other potential psychological mechanisms include the distraction from negative emotion provided by exercising as well as the behavioral activation occurring with exercise, which is also an important component of CBT for MDD. The issue of how much exercise is needed to achieve an anti-depressant effect is also an important topic, one that is discussed in practical application 9.3.
In general, studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of exercise in treating depression. One question that remains unanswered is the dose of exercise required to obtain an antidepressant effect. Specifically, what frequency, intensity, and duration are most beneficial in treating patients with depression? Dunn and colleagues (16) recently completed a trial that was designed to address this issue. In this trial, 80 sedentary adults diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) were randomized to undergo 12 wk of one of five aerobic exercise-training treatment conditions: low energy expenditure and 3 d of exercise training per week, high energy expenditure and 3 d of exercise training per week, low energy expenditure and 5 d of exercise training per week, high energy expenditure and 5 d of exercise training per week, or stretching and flexibility control.
Results of the trial showed that exercise conducted at the high energy expenditure dose (consistent with public health recommendations) was effective in reducing depressive symptoms (47% from baseline measurement) over the 12 wk treatment period. In contrast, although participants randomized to the low energy expenditure dose did experience some reduction in depression over the treatment period (30% from baseline measurement), those participants did not respond significantly better than participants in the control condition did (29% from baseline measurement). Regarding frequency of training, no significant difference in treatment response was found between those participants who exercised 3 d per week relative to those who exercised 5 d per week. This result identifies total energy expenditure as the key aspect of exercise dose related to remission of MDD, regardless of days per week exercised.
In summary, this trial demonstrated that an exercise-training dose consistent with public health recommendations for energy expenditure is effective for the treatment of MDD in previously sedentary adults. Importantly, an exercise prescription that includes lower energy expenditure does not appear to be beneficial in reducing depressive symptoms. Thus, exercise professionals should encourage depressed patients to achieve at least the minimum recommended levels of energy expenditure.

Wdt11 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 239 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
Professional "dog psychologist" with a master's degree, and trainer, recently licensed by Oct "O" Magazine's (p67), celebrity trainer, Victoria Stilwell, star of "It's Me or the Dog", needs logo to compliment the Victoria Stilwell (VS) http://Positively.com logo.
Just partnered with Victoria and merging my business entity with hers. I now hold a license to use her logo and marketing materials. It is to my advantage to make the most of this as she is famous and I'm not...yet! We are adamantly non-aversive, pet dog trainers.
I'm a science-based trainer and use positive-method, veterinary endorsed training methods. Dogs are my world. My "dog training message" and my professional dog training credentials are well-established, but I need the marketing boost I am now getting from direct association with the Animal Planet's celebrity trainer. I author a dog training newspaper column.
The human-animal bond is paramount. I train people to communicate with their dogs, and teach dogs how to live a family-lifestyle. Finding forever homes for abandoned dogs is one of our causes.
You, my winning designer, will be seen, and if you're a dog lover please let it shine! I have to run the winning design by Victoria's Team for approval, so that will be your fist showing.
A logo I love is the missing element in my marketing.
The personality is professional, sprinkled generously with love.
Victoria's market is at the "starting to explode" stage and I'm in on the ground-floor in the US. Everybody seems to love her. Me too.
I have a home territory that stretches all along the west coast in the most affluent communities of San Diego County from Carlsbad to La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe. I'm also working parts of Hollywood. It's gotta be classy and top-notch. It's a world-class operation. She airs in over 50 countries.
Audience: Pet parents in need of help with training, ranging from basic puppy house-training tips to aggression issues in need of behavioral consultations.
Also, celebrities, veterinarians, dog-related breed and business organizations and facilities.
I want to tap into and speak to the market Victoria is creating for us with her TV show, speaking engagements, magazine interviews, etc.
For: Individuals, families, all ages, I'm mostly attracting women and that's fine with me, but a bit more guy-oriented is fine too. I'm aiming for wide appeal. At this time I am strictly a private-trainer, but I may teach a couple of classes in the near future.
Vector format-- provided source file .eps and.ai AND GRAYSCALE with a .jpg preview.
Display Victoria's logo first, then mine in a horizontal row so I can see how my website header will look please and how well the logos actually match up. Compliment the Victoria Stilwell logo, maybe match it. I don't care for Victoria's colors or logo, but I have to work with it. I get to maintain my own identity.
My website: http://www.WholisticDogTraining.com
Hers: http://positively.com/
Try the same basic layout as her logo, but my name, then (second line) Wholistic, then DogTraining.com (third line). The font for Wholistic can be different. I include both font files but I don't love the Positively. I want to love my logo.
My design cannot be so similar that infringes on her patent rights, but it can be quite similar.
Her colors are dark brown and purple-- mine might be blue (to match my website, and green, ocean-like). Pls Use your imagination on the placement of a pawprint, colors, adding water somehow.
Green pawprint on the right side, or replacing the "O" in Wholistic with a pawprint? Heart-shaped paw-print? Not too cutesy.
I may place her logo and mine side by side with a dog icon link between them. This link between our logos may be central to my decision and your opportunity to be creative/ unique, such as a green? dog leaping from her logo over to mine? The dog(s) link will be a part of my stand-alone logo.
I might place them both in the header of my website, which may well be redesigned depending on what you come up with.
Thank you!

CHICAGO Mexican drug cartels whose operatives once rarely ventured beyond the U.S. border are dispatching some of their most trusted agents to live and work deep inside the United States an emboldened presence that experts believe is meant to tighten their grip on the world's most lucrative narcotics market and maximize profits.
If left unchecked, authorities say, the cartels' move into the American interior could render the syndicates harder than ever to dislodge and pave the way for them to expand into other criminal enterprises such as prostitution, kidnapping-and-extortion rackets and money laundering.
Cartel activity in the U.S. is certainly not new. Starting in the 1990s, the ruthless syndicates became the nation's No. 1 supplier of illegal drugs, using unaffiliated middlemen to smuggle cocaine, marijuana and heroin beyond the border or even to grow pot here.
But a wide-ranging Associated Press review of federal court cases and government drug-enforcement data, plus interviews with many top law enforcement officials, indicate the groups have begun deploying agents from their inner circles to the U.S. Cartel operatives are suspected of running drug-distribution networks in at least nine non-border states, often in middle-class suburbs in the Midwest, South and Northeast.
- Cartel boss "El Chapo" bumped off Forbes billionaires list
- Mexico: Drug war has led to 26,121 disappearances
- Despite reports, cartel boss "El Chapo" not dead
"It's probably the most serious threat the United States has faced from organized crime," said Jack Riley, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration's Chicago office.
The cartel threat looms so large that one of Mexico's most notorious drug kingpins a man who has never set foot in Chicago was recently named the city's Public Enemy No. 1, the same notorious label once assigned to Al Capone.
The Chicago Crime Commission, a non-government agency that tracks crime trends in the region, said it considers Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman even more menacing than Capone because Guzman leads the deadly Sinaloa cartel, which supplies most of the narcotics sold in Chicago and in many cities across the U.S.
Years ago, Mexico faced the same problem of then-nascent cartels expanding their power "and didn't nip the problem in the bud," said Jack Killorin, head of an anti-trafficking program in Atlanta for the Office of National Drug Control Policy. "And see where they are now."
Riley sounds a similar alarm: "People think, 'The border's 1,700 miles away. This isn't our problem.' Well, it is. These days, we operate as if Chicago is on the border."
Border states from Texas to California have long grappled with a cartel presence. But cases involving cartel members have now emerged in the suburbs of Chicago and Atlanta, as well as Columbus, Ohio, Louisville, Ky., and rural North Carolina. Suspects have also surfaced in Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania.
Mexican drug cartels "are taking over our neighborhoods," Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane warned a legislative committee in February. State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan disputed her claim, saying cartels are primarily drug suppliers, not the ones trafficking drugs on the ground.
For years, cartels were more inclined to make deals in Mexico with American traffickers, who would then handle transportation to and distribution within major cities, said Art Bilek, a former organized crime investigator who is now executive vice president of the crime commission.
As their organizations grew more sophisticated, the cartels began scheming to keep more profits for themselves. So leaders sought to cut out middlemen and assume more direct control, pushing aside American traffickers, he said.
Beginning two or three years ago, authorities noticed that cartels were putting "deputies on the ground here," Bilek said. "Chicago became such a massive market ... it was critical that they had firm control."
To help fight the syndicates, Chicago recently opened a first-of-its-kind facility at a secret location where 70 federal agents work side-by-side with police and prosecutors. Their primary focus is the point of contact between suburban-based cartel operatives and city street gangs who act as retail salesmen. That is when both sides are most vulnerable to detection, when they are most likely to meet in the open or use cellphones that can be wiretapped.
Others are skeptical about claims cartels are expanding their presence, saying law-enforcement agencies are prone to exaggerating threats to justify bigger budgets.
David Shirk, of the University of San Diego's Trans-Border Institute, said there is a dearth of reliable intelligence that cartels are dispatching operatives from Mexico on a large scale.

Jimenez goes for Tribe in Toronto
The Cleveland Indians' season may hinge on the kind of season that Ubaldo Jimenez has. They may get a glimpse into their future on Wednesday when he goes for the Indians in the second test of a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
Jimenez was 19-8 with a 2.88 ERA in Colorado back in 2010. However, he has not been anywhere near that type of pitcher in the two years since that season. In fact he's only won 19 games since then and last year lost 17, while pitching to a 5.40 ERA.
He also tossed a league-high 16 wild pitches and issued the second most walks (95).
"Last year, I felt lost. I didn't even know what to do when I got to the mound," Jimenez said.
Toronto, meanwhile, will hand the ball to right-handed flamethrower Brandon Morrow, who was 10-7 last season with a 2.96 ERA. Injuries, though, continued to be a problem, as he managed just 21 starts.
Morrow has struggled this spring and pitched to a 6.14 ERA in six spring starts.
Cleveland got its season off on the right foot Tuesday, as Asdrubal Cabrera hit a two-run homer and Justin Masterson turned in six solid innings in the Indians' 4-1 win.
Masterson (1-0) gave up just three hits, one run and four walks while fanning five. Chris Perez later turned in a scoreless ninth for his first save as the Tribe gave Terry Francona a win in his Cleveland managerial debut.
"A lot of the little things that were taking place that you need to do to win ballgames, we were able to do," Masterson said.
Melky Cabrera scored the lone run for the Blue Jays, while knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (0-1), the reigning NL Cy Young winner, allowed five hits and four runs -- three earned -- with four walks and as many strikeouts over six frames.
His batterymate, catcher J.P. Arencibia, was charged with three passed balls.
"It was moving pretty good," Dickey said of his knuckleball.
Toronto won four of its six meetings with the Tribe a year ago.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Hannah Witt continued her dominance during the young cross country season, finishing second overall in the Virginia Tech Alumni Invitational in which King was the only NCAA Division II participant.
The meet was marked by a unique six kilometer format and featured King and East Tennessee State along with hosts Virginia Tech and a handful of unattached Hokie alumni runners. Virginia Tech won the event with a score of 25, followed by East Tennessee State with 48 points. King placed third with 75 points.
Witt finished in a time of 21:47, just 15 seconds off the pace set by East Tennessee State's Katie Hirko. Evan Ferrell, a senior, placed second for the Tornado and 13th overall. "I was proud of the way Evan ran," said head coach Peter Dalton. "She ran a lot stronger than two weeks ago on a much tougher course."
Sophomore Tabitha Arwood was the fifth King runner to come across the line, scoring for the first time this season.
King is currently ranked fifth in the NCAA Division II Southeast Region. The Tornado next return to action on Friday, October 4, traveling to Boone, N.C. to compete in the Mountaineer Open hosted by Appalachian State University.

The Evolving Roles of Information Professionals in Museums
Paul F. Marty is assistant professor, School of Information Studies, Florida State University, and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
In December of 2003 the following post made its way around on the Museum-L mailing list:
"I am within a few credits of finishing my masters degree in Library and Information Science, but my true interest is in history and historic conservation, special collections, and archival work. I felt that an MLIS degree might give me flexibility with regard to geographic location and the duties of a job, which is why I did not originally pursue a degree in Museum Studies. I was also told by several LIS professors that I could possibly make the transition into museum work with an MLIS degree. I would like to ask for the opinion of museum professionals about this before I make any post-masters plans. Would someone holding an MLIS possibly be considered for a position in a museum?"
This question prompted many days worth of debate over the place of LIS professionals in museums, with a variety of people researchers, academics and practitioners weighing in on all sides. Does an MLIS qualify one to work in a museum? Does one need a museum studies degree to be a museum professional? Are MLIS degree recipients qualified to be curators, registrars, archivists or none of the above? Should one get a specialized degree in addition to the MLIS? Does one need experience interning in particular types of museums in order to get a job? (For details of the debate, please see the online archives of Museum-L at http://home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/museum-l.html.)
The fact that there was a debate at all was very interesting, especially since the importance of information science for museums has been long established; certainly most museum professionals understand the importance of museums caring for information about artifacts as well as the objects themselves (see "For Further Reading" for these references and others). The museum literature is full of examples of the nightmares that befall museums with poor information management skills; my personal favorite is the 2002 "rediscovery" of the bones of a Neanderthal child, physically scattered and informationally lost the victim of poor record-keeping which turned up in a French museum nearly 90 years after it was first discovered as detailed by Whitehouse.
For the past year I have been pursuing research to determine what the museum community believes to be the necessary responsibilities of information professionals working in museums. In the summer 2003 I conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with information professionals working in museums, asking them about the information resources, tools and technologies they use daily on the job. The study participants worked at 17 different museums, including cultural heritage, science and technology, art, natural history and children's museums. They varied widely in technical skills and expertise and ranged from one to 30 years worth of experience in the museum field. Each interview lasted approximately 60 to 90 minutes. The interviews were transcribed for qualitative data analysis and analyzed using grounded theory methodologies. The goal of the study was to develop a conceptual framework (to be published in a forthcoming article) for evaluating the role of information professionals in museums and the value of these individuals for information-oriented projects in museums.
The results of this study led me to believe that we are dealing with a seminal shift in the responsibilities of information professionals who work in museums, where individuals find themselves unexpectedly acquiring new skills as they face new information-oriented challenges. This appears to be an evolutionary process with its own form of "survival of the fittest," where information professionals with certain skills are more likely to cope with new and unexpected demands. Most recently, this evolutionary shift has occurred in the world of online museums, involving a change in emphasis from the technical skills of Web page creation to the ability to assess and meet the information needs of the users of museum data. The best place to see this process in action is by looking at the evolution of the museum Web master, which I have discussed in detail in a recent article.
Over the past few years, the skills and responsibilities of museum Web masters have changed dramatically as more museums seek to provide online access to organized, structured information about museum resources. In this new environment, the ability to do basic Web design has taken a backseat to the more complex problems of information organization, access and architecture. As one of the museum Web masters interviewed in this study put it, "Design is becoming less and less of the powerhouse it was in the early days of the Web . . . those skills are less important than the overall architecting of the website, which is the much harder skill." This shift in perception has led to many changes in the job of the museum Web master. We will explore these changes by looking at four key areas (illustrated with quotes from the above study) that highlight the evolving role of museum Web masters as information professionals working in museums:
New Skills and Responsibilities
"As Web master I have to manage the flow of information from server to workstation, managing and coordinating the review policies and review committees. I also have to do some development for our museum systems. I have to manage our collections information system as it relates to approved Web data from that system. I have to pay attention to administrative tasks, security rules set forth [by the IT office], and I have to do periodic system administration on servers. I have to test products, review products. I sit on several working groups for product assessment [including] digital asset management systems, Web content management systems, collections information systems and those sorts of things."
This quote demonstrates clearly the diverse skills and capabilities required of museum Web masters. The idea that the museum Web master can exist in an isolated office, constructing websites while partitioned off from the rest of the museum staff, is as anachronistic as the notion that all Web masters do is simple HTML coding. The world of the museum Web master today reflects the skills and responsibilities of the information professional in any information organization, where all aspects of museum work are integrated into the overall task of providing access to museum information resources throughout the museum's information systems. These increased responsibilities have brought new pressures on the museum Web master.
Changing Expectations and New Demands
"Five years ago, we [the museum Web staff] went around looking for people to put things on the website, now we have a list that reaches out almost a year [. . . back then] the time horizon for a new project was about two weeks. If you came to me with a brand new idea, and we thought it was a perfectly good idea, we might get to it in a year."
The above quote shows the increasing pressures and demands on museum Web masters, who have come a long way from the days when they had to actively seek out online projects and convince museum employees of the value of the Web. Museum Web masters now are so overwhelmed by the demand for online projects that they must find new ways to prioritize their responsibilities. New expectations have led many museum Web masters to rethink their roles in the museum hierarchy and the contributions they bring to the museums' staffs.
Changes in Attitude and Shifting Job Requirements
"You know we really thought in terms of HTML in the beginning, very simple Web pages that didn't involve any scripting. They weren't really relying on dynamic content. [Now] we've stretched that to the point where that same medium is behaving more like a set of applications. It's gotten far more complex. That was around before, but what needed to happen was an attitude shift. We needed to start thinking about how can we make this medium serve the needs of the entire staff."
This quote illustrates the importance of museum Web masters being able to cope with evolutionary changes on the job while simultaneously recognizing the importance of their role in the museum. More than a shift in technical capabilities, the move from static to dynamic content for museum websites reflected a changing attitude with respect to the users of museum resources. These users include not only online visitors, but internal museum staff, and museum Web masters must be prepared to meet the needs of all who access the museum's internet or intranet.
Meeting User Needs as Information Professionals
"You need to be able to receive the requirements given to you and be able to query and find out in more detail what the real requirements are. A lot of time people think they are telling you what they need, but you need to be able to probe it to find out really what's underneath that. I think the requirements gathering for specific needs is the most challenging part of any information job."
The above quote underscores the importance of requirements analysis as well as the inherent difficulties of assessing and meeting user needs. In recognizing this problem, the museum Web master is assuming some of the most important, underlying responsibilities of information professionals in the museum. This is not a new problem; museum professionals have long had to deal with changing expectations from their visitors and their employees as to the kinds of information museums should provide, whether on the gallery floor or online. Nevertheless, these changing expectations reflect the new needs and new demands brought to museum staff by increasingly information-savvy museum users. While dealing with these changes inside the museum can be hard enough, dealing with the changing needs, demands and expectations of online museum visitors is much harder. Why? Simply put, we do not as of yet have a suitably detailed understanding of our online visitors' needs despite many excellent and worthwhile studies.
The magnitude of this problem becomes clear when one starts to compare what we know about face-to-face visitors to physical museums with what we know about online visitors to virtual museums. What we know of the needs, behaviors and characteristics of the face-to-face museum visitor would fill a room, thanks to years of excellent visitor studies. Our attempts to answer the same questions about online museum visitors pale in comparison. While this disparity may not have been as significant a problem five years ago, many museums have now crossed the threshold where they have more online visitors than face-to-face visitors; the Smithsonian Institution, for example, now has five times as many virtual visitors as physical visitors, nearly 100 million visitors last year alone.
This situation has the potential to have catastrophic consequences for online museums. All information professionals know that not knowing our users' needs means not meeting our users' needs. This seemingly simple statement has two profound implications for museums entering the online world. First, projects that do not meet user needs will ultimately reflect wasted time, money and effort. Second, users whose needs are not met will often become upset, alienated and angry at the museum. The following two examples are composite narratives that provide a representative picture of the problems many museums are facing today.
Example 1. A natural history museum invests heavily in a project to develop online materials for students. Since the majority of the museum's face-to-face student visitors are grade school students, the museum's curators and educators develop a series of online learning modules specifically geared for fourth graders. After a great deal of time, money and effort, museum staff members make the modules available online, only to discover that no one seems interested in them. Perplexed, the museum professionals commission a study of their online visitors, the first such study ever run by the museum. From this study, the museum staff discovers that the majority of their online visitors are college students.
Example 2. An art museum's website, while once cutting-edge, is now many years out-of-date. When asked for funds to redesign and improve the website, museum staff members are told that the museum's monies would be better spent improving the museum's physical resources. The museum's director, an infrequent viewer of the museum's website, believes that the quality of the museum's website should be a low priority for the museum's budget. From the server transaction logs, museum staff members learn that 10 times as many people view the museum's website each year as walk through the front door of the museum. For every individual impressed by the quality of the museum's physical facilities, 10 are left with the feeling that the museum does not care about meeting their needs.
There is a very simple solution to these problems, and it concerns user advocacy. Someone in the museum needs to stick up for the rights of the museum's online visitors. Someone needs the skills to assess the visitors' needs and evaluate the museum's online offerings to see if these needs are being met. The virtual visitor typically has no voice within the museum, and if the museum is truly to meet these users' needs, someone must argue from the users' perspectives. The museum Web master is the individual most ideally suited to evolve into the role of user-centered mediator between the museum and its online visitors.
Museum Web masters are already developing the user advocacy skills and responsibilities necessary to understand users' needs and argue for users' best interests. The skills museum Web masters have had to learn in order to survive the increasing responsibilities and changing demands already being thrust on them are ideally preparing them for this new role. They are acquiring the skills in this area that they need: from usability analysis to information needs assessment to online visitor studies. In acquiring these skills, they are making the evolutionary transformation into an information professional working in a museum with a unique perspective on the information needs of the museum's users, in house or online.
This transformation is a valuable, yet difficult, one, and the museum Web master needs support, encouragement and, above all, the authority necessary to ensure that users' needs are both identified and met, now and in the future. Perhaps the best way to provide this support is to encourage LIS students to pursue careers in museums and encourage museum studies students to learn more about LIS. If one needs a reason, look no further than the dedicated work already being done by museum Web masters worldwide. Their efforts, better than anything else, demonstrate the need for information professionals in the museum. Through their own initiative, museum Web masters, with their new skills and expertise in evaluation and user studies, are already rendering obsolete the debate which began this article. While the world debates whether LIS students have a place in museums, the future museum information professional is already emerging out of the constantly changing and challenging world of the online museum.

Los Angeles,Veteran rocker Ian Anderson was so poor in the early days of his career that he ate dog food to survive.
The Jethro Tull frontman struggled to find success in the mid 1960s and has revealed he went to dog foods to make ends meet, reports contactmusic.com.
"That was a very miserable winter... I ate dog food. I used to bulk out a can of Irish stew, which cost about sixpence, with Spillers Shapes, a chewy, biscuity dog food. You could make a can of stew last three or four days with Spillers Shapes. It was all rather sad," he said.

Enhancing community safety through effective supervision of sex offenders
Training targets officers, investigators, supervisors; first of 12 classes scheduled across the state in September and October held today in Westchester County
Law enforcement officials from 13 agencies in Westchester and Putnam counties and New York City will learn effective strategies for managing sex offenders in their communities at a state-sponsored training today.
The Office of Sex Offender Management at the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police is sponsoring the half-day training at the Westchester County Department of Public Safety Police Academy in Valhalla.
Approximately 25 officers from the following agencies are slated to attend: the Bedford, Irvington, Mamaroneck, North Castle, Pelham, Sleepy Hollow, Tuckahoe; Westchester County and White Plains police departments; the New York City Probation Department; the Putnam County Sheriff's Office; the Westchester County District Attorney's Office and the Westchester County Probation Department.
The training – the first of 12 scheduled across the state in September and October – will cover a variety of topics, including an overview and update on relevant sex offender laws, and the responsibilities of offenders and law enforcement, particularly in the areas of address verification and community notification.
"DCJS, through its Office of Sex Offender Management, is committed to providing anyone responsible for the management and treatment of sex offenders with training and education to enhance their knowledge and skills so they can better protect their communities," said Denise E. O'Donnell, Governor David A. Paterson's Deputy Secretary for Public Safety.
"We rely on police officers and sheriff's deputies to help ensure the integrity of our sex offender management system and the accuracy of the information on the state's Sex Offender Registry," Deputy Secretary O'Donnell added. "I'm pleased that we could partner with the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police again to offer this important training."
The Office of Sex Offender Management at DCJS maintains the state's Sex Offender Registry and works in partnership with local law enforcement to ensure information on the registry is accurate and up-to-date.
Information about all offenders on the registry can be accessed via a toll-free telephone number (1-800-262-3257) and information about Level 2 and Level 3 offenders is available by visiting the DCJS website – www.criminaljustice.ny.gov – and clicking on the link to "Sex Offender Registry."
In addition, the office advises the Governor and Legislature on sex offender issues, establishes standards and guidelines concerning how best to supervise and manage these individuals and better protect the public, trains law enforcement and other professionals and creates community prevention and education campaigns.
This is the second training series hosted by the Office of Sex Offender Management in partnership with the Chiefs' Association. Last year, more than 360 police officers, sheriff's deputies and supervisors attended 11 trainings in counties across the state.
"The New York State Association of Chiefs of Police appreciates the opportunity to continue our work with DCJS in this special training initiative," said Mark A. Spawn, director of research, development and training for the Chiefs' Association. "The role of the police is crucial to the success of New York's sex offender laws. This program will provide information, tips and resources for law enforcement officers on issues such as address verification, enforcement and policy."
The half-day trainings are free and the remaining trainings will be held:
- Thursday, Sept. 24: David Sullivan Law Enforcement Academy, Canton (St. Lawrence County)
- Friday, Sept. 25: Mohawk Valley Community College, Utica (Oneida County)
- Monday, Sept. 28: Ulster County Law Enforcement Academy, Kingston

Rituals—religious and cultural, institutional and domestic—provide the thematic infrastructure for OFF-SPRING: New Generations. Exploring the development of both personal and group identity, childhood, family, history, and gender politics, these sculptures, paintings, photographs, and videos employ iconographic imagery to reveal how we learn to live, love, work, and dream in the 21st century. In the family home, at the wedding altar, or in the classroom, within the fantasy of childhood play or the familiarity of grown-up habit, these new, old narratives generate a spectrum of meditations on the contemporary construction of self and society.
The weight of both the future and the past encumbers much of the variously angelic, endangered, and enigmatic figures featured in OFF-SPRING. Imaginary play is rendered as both enchanting and uncanny in photographs by Adriana Duque, Loretta Lux, Vee Speers, Laetitia Soulier, Oleg Dou, Anthony Goicolea Nathalia Edenmont, and others. Both Duque and Lux transform their young subjects to create painterly portraits that reference art history, alluding to Rembrandt, Velázquez, Piero della Francesca, and others, while the make-up and costumes worn by models in works by Dou, Speers, and Edenmont belie more than the joy of dress-up, their faces and poses introducing the presence of the uncanny. Drawing on memories of her own anguished teenage years, when her mother's death left her orphaned, Nathalia Edenmont casts a young model as her doppelganger, dressed and posed as if awaiting or recovering from a transformative rite of passage, captured in color-saturated images of macabre beauty. The rites and trials of adolescence animate Anthony Goicolea's boy-world, in which mysteriously uniformed, hooded, and masked young males participate in group-rituals that range from fairytale-like to menacing. The youthful Tree Dwellers may be engaged in temporary play or permanent encampment; the boys gathered round Fireside are presided over by a single, male adult in an image derived from Goicolea's film, Kidnap, which depicts mysterious, ritual-like events as both innocuous and ominous.
Guy Ben-Ner projects a playful imagination in his video narratives, which feature his own young family in fantastical scenarios from literature, history, and nature. Ella—a story of an Ostrich Chick features the artist's daughter and other family members in ostrich costumes, navigating their way through a wilderness that is actually New York's Central Park. In naturalist imitation of ostrich locomotion, the costumes are worn backwards, making movement awkward, especially for the young lead. Ben-Ner's home movie explores contemporary family dynamics and our sanitized relationship with the natural world, while alluding to the burdens borne by children cast in roles, on stage and off.
Children are literally saddled with the sadness and possibly the sins of their off-screen elders in Gottfried Helnwein's haunting portrait of a child in military uniform, and in the bronze and wooden sculptures of Gehard Demetz and Sofie Muller. Helnwein's doe-eyed child is half in shadow, one side of the face possibly bruised; the design on her jacket lapel suggesting a military uniform. Provocatively titled How You Reacted was Right and It is Warmer Now, Demetz's toy soldier and placid girl-doll are fixed in place by symbols of industry and religious worship—a gas can and a crucifix—unconsenting conscripts into adulthood. For Muller's Clarysse, the battlefield is the schoolroom, where seated for eternity at her wooden desk, she is rendered headless. Some external tragedy or interior conflict—the boredom, the shame, the struggle to succeed and conform that may attend those years in school—has erased her visage, her mind, leaving only an oval shadow burned into the desktop.
Potential trauma awaits the little girl who jumps rope through the decaying, decadent, and menacing interiors of Laurie Lipton's Haunted Doll House. This large-scale, detailed drawing is presented in three dimensions, offering an immersive vision of the artist's memories, fears, and imaginings. Lipton plumbs the depths of her psyche in visions of domestic terror: here, the everyday rituals of mealtime, playtime, and bedtime are haunted by shadowy, menacing figures, spider webs, skulls, liquid and dread oozing through floorboards.
The history and symbolism of marital rituals are both exposed and transformed in works by Asya Reznikov, Beth Moysés, and Angela Ellsworth, addressing a broad range of issues within the metaphoric constraints of tradition. These object-based works reference what brides have worn and carried to and from the altar, in search of a blessing, a partner, a new self or new life. Reznikov's Packing Bride enacts the nostalgia and anticipation of displacement. Illuminating the mental and emotional state of transition experienced by immigrants and travelers, Reznikov fills a suitcase with objects and images that constitute bridal "necessities"—items that may fulfill the bride's desire for material and psychological preparedness as she embarks on a new life in a new world. The brides featured in Beth Moysés' still and moving images are embarking on a transformative journey both physical and emotional. Reconstructing Dreams creates a new ritual: female survivors of domestic abuse walk together through the streets of Montevideo, Uruguay, to the central public square, where they sit and embroider the patterns of the lines in their hands on their gloves, discarding their past and wedding themselves to new lives.
The women invoked in Angela Ellsworth's sculpture, Eliza and Emily, are bound to each other: the pin-sharp straps of these19th-century-style bonnets, fashioned from thousands of pearl corsage pins, are continuous, holding them forever in place, opposing and supporting one another. A descendant of Mormon prophet Lorenzo Snow, Ellsworth examines women in the context of fundamentalist Mormonism, and the ritual, symbolism, and constraint inherent in trappings such as Seer Bonnets. These unwearable bonnets embody sister wives, representatives of a still-practiced polygamist tradition of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and reference the prophet Joseph Smith's use of "seer stones"—stones he believed to be imbued with divine power. The circular designs on Ellsworth's bonnets allude to Smith's visionary stones. "The circles are my idea of giving the women wearing the bonnets their own vision and the possibility of seeing and translating things."
Rituals often invoke the collision of innocence and guilt, purity and corruption, life and death. Mohau Modisakeng's video, Inzilo, is inspired by a South African mourning tradition, a period of grieving during which the mourner is committed to wearing black clothing for up to six to twelve months. A ceremonial disrobing marks the end of mourning and the transformation of the bereaved; the clothing is burned, leaving only ashes. A multi-disciplinary artist whose work addresses the complex history of his country, here Modisakeng performs a distillation of this ritual, paying homage both to cultural tradition and to the potential for a rebirth, for transformation.
Artists today appropriate such ritual mise-en-scene to honor or to expose or subvert a conventional assertion of theological belief. In Carlos and Jason Sanchez's Baptism, smiling adults gaze at the baby as it is christened with blood. Is the image an indictment of Christian tradition, or an honest envisioning of the rite—the baby sealed by the blood of Christ? Art historical precedents for such imagery featured the same cast—Jesus, Mary, apostles, saints, and other known Biblical characters. For her Pietà, Sam Taylor-Johnson cast herself as the grieving Madonna, and the actor Robert Downey, Jr. as the dead Christ. The camera's shutter cord is visible, stretching down the steps like a vein, emptying life from the limp body. While the poses mimic pieta works by Renaissance masters Michelangelo and Bernini, Taylor-Johnson draws attention not to the sitters' assigned roles, but to the artifice on display, and to their identities, their celebrity—captured and enhanced by camera-wielding media.
The family portrait is reimagined by Julie Nord, Sebastiaan Bremer, Hans Op de Beeck, and Robert Pettena; its conventional documentarian function transformed into illustrations of fantasy, memory, and newly emerging family structures. The pale, wide-eyed faces in Nord's pen and watercolor portraits might belong in a late 19th-century parlor, but for the color literally dripping from their features. The Niece, Unknown Relative (Wilbur), and A Distant Aunt evoke Victorian imagery, the world of Charles Adams, the brothers Grimm, and more: theirs is an eerie family tableau of typologies, not individuals. Bremer culls personal family albums for images of youth—here, his and his father's—applying pen and paint to the surfaces of these idealized portraits to emphasize both beauty and mortality, as their ethereal features are disintegrating.
Robert Pettena and Hans Op de Beeck's videos invite the viewer to a ritual repast—an outdoor banquet and a series of ceremonial meals—in which the expected conventions of behavior and time are subverted, separating a known ritual from recognizable reality. Both humor and pathos are present in these vivid tableaux of contemporary cultural and social practices, imbuing the everyday with the import of history, of myth.
Images of daily domesticity—the rituals of habit and intimacy—reveal a persistent conflict between self and social norms. Staged in rural, often bleak settings, Christa Parravani's imagery narrates her life—a life she shared intimately with her twin sister. Together, they survived a difficult, peripatetic childhood to pursue creative careers in which their visions and voices are deeply intertwined. Parravani's photographs of herself and her twin, and of a bride and groom, illustrate the complex synchronicity of the ties that bind: we seek to be together but alone, alike but unique. The longing to be both intimate and independent is also enacted by the couple riding nowhere on leonardogillesfleur's Irreconcilable Differences, demonstrating how we long for change and consistency at once, and how individual drives may conflict with the structural norms of a sanctioned union.
Indeed, all intimate relationships are subject to change from internal and exterior forces. In her Farmer's Daughter Cycle, Lauren Argo performs a dreamlike homage to the complex life cycle of her family's small tobacco farm. For generations, her elders' dependence on the land formed traditions and responsibilities that engendered both masculine and feminine roles for each family member. As she enacts the shifting identities of a tobacco worker, daughter, and sister, Argo performs a process of self-inquiry at work in many lifelong laborers as the source of their livelihood and heritage runs dry.
Legacy also informs Chris Radtke's Progeny (2) pink, a nylon mesh sculpture that is both a representational and abstract portrait of her granddaughter, scaled to the child's four-year old body. The diaphanous material evokes sacramental garments (a veil, a shroud), while the geometry of the form invokes an art-historical reference to Minimalism. Created in Radtke's studio, Progeny is the off-spring of both self and art, body and mind, a dual portrait of artist and subject.
Lived experience of human family dynamics—and the social and political institutions born of traditional patriarchy—often combines dependence and destruction. Josephine Taylor's large-scale Bomb Landscape series depicts women and babies, men and animals, set in a post-apocalyptic world, vying for sustenance and survival. Their delicately drawn forms are imposing and formidable; undefined fear and ferocity animates these compelling scenes. "My drawings rely on their purity to attract the viewer," explains the artist, "and then abuse that power by revealing something terrifying. The omnipresence of violence in my work emphasizes the partnership between love and hatred that I experienced growing up." Taylor's bodies merge and mutate, their fluids flow freely out and between them; modern-day madonnas spurt milk like stigmata, redefining the mythology of maternal nurture as costly sacrifice.
Reimagining tradition creates opportunities for identity to transcend the constraints of ritual and role-play, especially within the crucible of childhood wherein the self is first formed. Laetitia Soulier describes the characters in her Matryoshka series as approximately eight years old, at a point where thoughts shift seamlessly between the real and imagined, the rational and fantastical. Deployed into dream-like spaces where they appear larger than life in comparison to the miniature objects that surround them, the girls are at once stand-ins for characters in a dark fairytale and playful children. These environments, says Soulier, are "their toy, their home, their childhood, their adulthood, the space between their past and their future." Inspired by 19th-century Russian Matryoshka nesting dolls, whose stackable shapes follow a telescoping mathematical pattern, Soulier's visions of girlhood suggest that consciousness and identity are always in flux.
Carrie Mae Weems adopts and updates Classical Greek mythology in May Flowers, a trio of beribboned African American girls, framed in tondo, Renaissance-style as three contemporary graces. The central figure's gaze is direct and frontal: their roles—as muses and more—are neither imposed nor fixed, but self-asserted, reframing, reclaiming the stage of art history. Weems' seminal Kitchen Table Series presents domestic drama as the central stage for re-envisioning gender and family roles, with the artist cast in the center, empowered to embody, represent, and speak for a breadth of humanity:
"I use myself simply as a vehicle for approaching the question of power. It is never about me; it's always about something larger," says the artist. "I use my own constructed image as a vehicle for questioning ideas about the role of tradition, the nature of family, monogamy, polygamy, relationships between men and women, between women and children, and between women and other women—underscoring the critical problem and the possible resolves."
Daily rituals and communal rites continue to shape identity and define the politics of family and society; in OFF-SPRING, transformations of iconic imagery from spheres both sacred and profane generate a new power, the power of potential and change.

I would just hope that Rob da Bank's tweets about Daft Punk playing what is loosely defined as a UK festival turn out to be true about Wireless.
So I hear. But currently Glasto->Wireless is the only way to see Pulp twice within a week or so.
That's fine, just as long as they aren't aggro like at Blur or bottle them off the stage for not being a lip-syncing Eminem.
"Who is this doing this synthetic type of Alpha Beta psychedelic funkin'?"
not even notice cos' Leftfield, Horsepower Productions and Luke Vibert will be there...
Definitely my mothers fault if Daft doesn't play! She is always ruining my life!
I enjoyed their set in 06 probably more than any other electronic act I've ever seen at Coachella. That set was game-changing and seemed to get the whole western world into Daft Punk all over again.
But if they play Coach in the future, we will be holding them up to that set, and they haven't released anything more amazing than what they played for the Alive tour since 07.
Let's just enjoy the memory and make room for the next "best set ever."
1 Coachella before I got sober, 7 since. I support both versions. If you wanna do the sober version, roll with us:

CDC worker flown home to US over Ebola concerns
ATLANTA (AP) — A CDC staff member who worked in close proximity to someone infected by the deadly Ebola virus in West Africa has been flown by charter jet back home to Atlanta to monitor potential symptoms, officials said Thursday.
The staffer had "low-risk" contact with someone who later tested positive for the virus in Sierra Leone, said Tom Skinner, a spokesman at the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control.
"The worker is not sick, not showing symptoms, not showing any signs of illness whatsoever," Skinner said.
The staffer worked within three feet of the ill international health worker in the same room for a prolonged period of time, according to a CDC statement. The staffer practiced "good personal infection control," according to the CDC. The agency did not identify the worker.
The CDC staffer arrived in Atlanta on Wednesday and is at home, Skinner said. The worker is expected to check for fever twice each day for 21 days as a precaution, Skinner said.
A specially-equipped jet that was used to transport American aid workers Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly to Atlanta after they tested positive for Ebola was not used for the CDC staffer, Skinner said. Instead, he said, the staffed flew on a more standard charter plane. Writebol and Brantly were released from Emory University Hospital this month.
The World Health Organization said Thursday that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa eventually could exceed 20,000 cases, more than six times as many as are now known.
To fight the outbreak, more than 60 CDC personnel are in the region, though the numbers fluctuate as staffers rotate in and out of hard-hit areas, according to the agency.

Togo's Eateries Inc., a "West Coast Original" since 1971 serving up big, made-to-order sandwiches stuffed with the freshest ingredients, announced today it is targeting Portland, Oregon for franchise expansion.
As part of Togo's 40-year anniversary, the nearly 250 unit sandwich franchise launched an aggressive growth strategy to enter new cities in key Western states such as Oregon, and is actively recruiting passionate single and multi-unit operators to help grow the brand to 400 restaurants by 2015.
To date, there are four Togo's restaurants currently open in Oregon and four additional locations planned for Eugene and Springfield.
Togo's executive team will be in Portland on Thursday, May 3rd from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the DoubleTree Hotel, 1000 NE Multnomah Street, to host a complimentary Franchise Seminar and share the benefits of opening a restaurant franchise.
"Portland has been named 'foodie heaven', and after an unprecedented year of growth in 2012 and 20 plus months of positive same store sales, we are ready to bring our big, made to order sandwiches to the area," says Tony Gioia, chairman and CEO of Togo's Holdings.
"Our 2-to-1 sales-to-investment ratio makes Togo's one of the best franchise opportunities in the sandwich category, and we are looking for passionate entrepreneurs to join our loyal team and help us grow regionally."
Most recently, Togo's formed a $15 million fund to fuel its development in 2012 and beyond. With this funding, both new and existing qualified Togo's franchisees will have access to $5 million to build new restaurants and $10 million for remodels and transfers.
Togo's traditional restaurants boast one of the strongest sales-to-investment ratios in the sandwich segment.
At Togo's, 51 percent of its traditional restaurants operating for a full 12-months in 2010 experienced average unit sales in excess of $600,000, with 25 percent over $800,000.
"Togo's is a great brand for Portland and surrounding cities because we offer the quality and value guests crave, along with the business opportunity entrepreneurs are looking for," says Todd Peterson, vice president of franchise sales of Togo's Holdings, LLC.
Unlike the national mega-chains, at Togo's each guest is offered a deli inspired one-on-one style service in a fun, friendly environment. There is a steadfast commitment to using only the freshest, superior-quality ingredientsand proprietary proteins, which allows franchisees to serve food they can be proud of.
California avocados are mashed daily, abundant quantities of lean pastrami, roast beef, turkey and other premium meats, and Artisan bread set the brand apart from other sandwich shops.
To become a part of the Togo's team and be your own boss, candidates should possess a net worth of $300,000 and a liquidity of $150,000 for a single restaurant.
Area developers looking to invest in three or more restaurants should have a net worth of $900,000 and a liquidity of $450,000. The estimated initial investment to own a Togo's is between $264,000 and $414,500 with a franchisee fee of $21,000 - $30,000.
Togo's was founded in 1971 by a young college student with a large appetite and little money looking to make sandwiches the way he liked them – big, made to order and stuffed with the freshest ingredients. For more information on Togo's Eateries Inc., in general please visit http://www.togos.com.

The University Library's Rare Book & Manuscript Library and Sousa Archives and Center for American Music, along with the Spurlock Museum, are planning several events this spring to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the publication of Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel, Casino Royale.
Library Friend Michael L. VanBlaricum, also an Illinois alumnus, was invited to curate a multi-venue exhibition. Not surprising, as VanBlaricum has amassed perhaps one of the finest collections of Ian Fleming material in private hands. He is also President of The Ian Fleming Foundation, dedicated to the study and preservation of the history of Fleming's literary works, the James Bond phenomenon, and their impact on popular culture.
The Rare Book & Manuscript Library will display all manner of editions of Casino Royale, as well as letters, reviews, photos, and other works. The Casino Royale and Beyond: Sixty Years of Ian Fleming's Literary Bond exhibit will focus on Fleming, his background, profession, and books. VanBlaricum will give a special talk about the exhibition in the Rare Book & Manuscript Library when the exhibit opens on April 12th.
"The Rare Book & Manuscript Library's exhibit will include some interesting and unique items," said VanBlaricum. "The original copy of A Poor Man Escapes, Fleming's first story, written at the age of 19, will be included as well as a letter by Fleming written on the 22nd of April 1953 stating that 'I am bludgeoning friends and members of my staff into buying it (Casino Royale].' In addition, visitors will learn how the famous secret agent 007 got his name."

American Design Inspiration: Imogene + Willie
Imogene + Willie is proof that Nashville has more to offer than honky tonk and barbecue. This brick and mortar shop is the dream of husband and wife duo, Carrie and Matt Eddmenson. Part retail space, part workshop — a place to make and sell what they do best — designing custom jeans. But while the denim and leather goods may play center stage, the swank interior provides the ideal backdrop.
Once you walk through the door of Imogene + Willie, you feel as if you've entered into a different era. Their story takes you back to a time when crafts were honed and handmade, quality goods were the norm. The shop is housed in what was once an old gas station — and while it has been impeccably transformed — the space still purposely drips with evidence of its former life. Rusty metal cabinets, wire bins and an old wooden ladder offer up storage while the concrete floors are softened by a cowhide rug. At the entrance, a well-loved leather couch greets you while paper patterns sway from the ceiling. Worn metal signs, flags, vintage bikes and mounted animal heads continue the Americana theme, decorating the walls and ceiling.
On your right you have the workshop, a place where pattern makers and master sewers work amidst the sea of industrial sewing machines. On the left side of the store, you'll find their custom jeans, boots and vintage wares artfully arranged against the dark and moody walls. The glossy orange chandelier lends a bright pop of color to the space in addition to illuminating the oversized mirror.
If you prefer whiskey and a beat-up pick-up truck over martinis and a sports car, then make sure you visit Imogene + Willie the next time you're passing through Tennessee. Whether you're in the market for a new pair of jeans or you just want to check out this carefully curated space for yourself, I highly recommend it!
