We are pleased to present an excerpt from David Shumaker's latest book, The Embedded Librarian: Innovative Strategies for Taking Knowledge Where It's Needed (Information Today, Inc., 2012), which will be released to the public in mid-July, just in time for the Special Libraries Association conference in Chicago. The book covers a wealth of material as it defines the embedded librarian's role in today's landscape, explores some of the trends in the space, and offers case studies in higher education, health sciences, school and public libraries, and other specialties. For this issue, we've selected Chapter 5, "Embedded Librarians in Corporations, Nonprofits, and Government," which has been lightly edited for style and length. —Ed.

"Embedded librarianship is a distinctive innovation that moves the librarians out of libraries and creates a new model of library and information work. It emphasizes the importance of forming a strong working relationship between the librarian and a group or team of people who need the librarian's information expertise."
— David Shumaker, The Embedded Librarian
The literature on embedded librarianship in corporations, nonprofits, and government agencies is not as extensive as the literature pertaining to higher education; nor is it as systematic and analytical as that related to health sciences and healthcare. A contributed paper for the Special Libraries Association (SLA) noted the paucity of published examples.
The problem didn't seem to stem from a failure of librarians in these organizations to adopt the embedded model, however. The paper reported on a survey, which was conducted with a convenience sample of subscribers to several professional email lists, that found that more than 80% of those listing an affiliation by organization type were in a for-profit (43%), nonprofit (21%), or government (20%) entity. Only 17% of respondents identified themselves as working in an institution of higher education.
A subsequent 2009 survey that I conducted with Mary Talley found similar results. This survey, administered to a random sample of SLA members, once again found that 43% of embedded respondents reported working in the for-profit sector, while 16% were in government and 11% in not-for-profit organizations. The percentage of respondents in higher education was somewhat higher than in the earlier survey, at 28%.
Regardless of actual adoption, the available information about patterns of embedded librarianship in this sector is far sparser than in the other sectors. In these pages, we're exploring the origins of embedded librarianship in corporations, nonprofits, and government, and will mine the recent literature for indications of the nature of embedded librarians' work, how their contributions are evaluated, organizational patterns, the overall health of the embedded model in this sector, and the outlook for the future.
It would be strange indeed if librarians in the corporate sector had not adopted the embedded model. In Chapter 1, we saw that Tom Davenport and Larry Prusak issued their clarion call to "Blow Up the Corporate Library" almost 20 years ago. By then, the weaknesses of the traditional corporate library were clear. Libraries had become just-in-case warehouses of mostly textual published material. In some corporations, the warehouse of texts was augmented by a warehouse of experts—subject specialists who could respond to specific questions.
Meanwhile, librarians missed opportunities to integrate their resources with the computer-based quantitative internal performance data generated by the new generation of management information specialists. Mistakenly, the librarians concentrated on achieving functional efficiency in library operations, not strategic value. They failed to deliver visible contributions in an environment becoming increasingly performance- and measurement-oriented.
Davenport and Prusak offered a concrete course correction for corporate librarians in 1993. They advocated that "librarians, or rather information managers, must view themselves not as warehouse custodians, or even as providers of centralized expertise, but rather as overseers of a multi-media network." They concluded with an eight-point plan. The first two are foundations for the embedded model:
1. "Get out of the library, and into the business."
2. "Actively assess who needs information, and who has it—then help them to connect."
Also in 1993, Michel Bauwens, a Belgian corporate librarian, published a personal account that we can read with 20/20 hindsight as a prophecy of 2 decades of corporate librarianship. He recounted the reduction of the Business Intelligence Unit from 15 employees to one—himself. He envisioned the new corporate librarian as being "in the middle of a concentric circle of cyberspace (i.e., the electronic information space or ocean)." He advocated that the corporation that takes information seriously should create "a network of cybrarians (i.e., librarians able to navigate in 'cyberspace'), strategically located throughout the company." He foresaw that "[t]hese well-trained, IT literate individuals will be integrated into management teams."
In the ensuing years, as the surveys cited at the beginning of this article indicate, corporate librarians began to adopt new models that approximated the visions of Davenport, Prusak, and Bauwens. That model conforms to embedded librarianship. In 2007, Laura Ann Tyler and I found little literature to document this evolution, but change was happening, although corporate librarians didn't write about it very much.
The evolution of embedded librarianship was often confused with the internet revolution and the shift to virtual or digital library services and collections. In a 2002 article, "A Traditional Library Goes Virtual," Stephanie Boyd discussed the creation of a library call center to take reference questions quickly and efficiently, and inserted the following observation, almost as an aside:
To date, only a small percentage of requests come in via our call center, since the majority of our clients choose to direct their questions to a researcher they know. We have encouraged this close relationship between our researchers and their clients, and in fact we aim to develop subject matter expertise within our team for the different client groups.
Also in 2002, Kathy Dempsey, a library marketing specialist, began to supply the ingredient of relationship building but only in a very limited way. Among her recommended tactics to raise the visibility of librarians: "Make friends," "Become personal researchers," and hold face-to-face meetings with potential information users to explain capabilities and offer services.
By 2004, the first attempt to assess the success of embedded librarianship was published, although the term "embedded" wasn't used. "The New Information Professional," an article in Information Outlook, reported the results of a project funded by SLA in 2002. The study focused on newspaper publishers. It compared the recognition accorded to librarians embedded in reporting teams with the recognition accorded to librarians working in traditionally organized, centralized libraries. The researcher, Deborah Barreau, concluded that "organizations with [a] researcher assigned to editorial teams acknowledged contributions more often, but the correlation is slight and the results are inconclusive."
The inconclusive results of Barreau's investigation notwithstanding, descriptions of embedded librarianship began to pick up a bit in the succeeding years. The annual SLA conferences regularly featured presentations on the subject, beginning in 2005 with a panel discussion. A presentation by John Peverley of Bain & Co., titled "Embedding Embedded Librarians in Corporations, Nonprofits, and Government Researchers in Case Teams: The Bain & Company Experience," described how Bain's larger offices had projects large enough to require the services of researchers on case teams. Those researchers would develop expertise, attend consultant staffing calls, and interact in real time with customers.
Each researcher was considered an integral part of the small working groups, acting as a "trusted advisor" to the team. The next year, I discussed management of embedded library services at the MITRE Corp. in a presentation titled "Moving to Client-Embedded Services: Building and Sustaining Embedded Information Services." Also in 2006, Michael Moore published a description of his experiences as an embedded librarian at MITRE. The SLA presentation that Tyler and I did in 2007 represented the first attempt to describe the characteristics and extent of embedded librarianship in corporations, as well as other types of organizations. A steady trickle of publications about embedded librarianship in corporations, nonprofits, and government agencies continues. Even though librarians in this sector still are not publishing very much, some evidence exists from which to infer roles, functions, and other characteristics of embedded librarianship.
Successful embedded librarians provide sophisticated contributions to the teams they work with. However, the available evidence indicates that the nature of the work varies among different organizational sectors. Academic librarians focus on embedded instruction, contributing to the pedagogical mission of their institutions. The emphasis in the health sciences community is on research—providing evidence from the literature to help clinicians make decisions about patient treatment and care. Other themes also surface, such as embedded instruction, especially in teaching hospitals and other academic institutions, and an emerging role in managing the large volumes of data generated by biomedical research projects.
The corporate and government sector is clearly different from the academic sector. The Models of Embedded Librarianship research project, funded by the SLA, found that corporate and government embedded librarians were much more likely than librarians in other types of organizations to perform a number of research and information delivery tasks, including the following:
Competitive intelligence
Evaluating, synthesizing, and summarizing the literature
Current awareness and news alerting
Interlibrary loan and document delivery
Similarly, the project found that in the corporate and government sectors, embedded librarians were more likely than in other sectors to participate in the management and analysis of internal knowledge and information. The kinds of tasks in which the study found differences included structured database development and management, information architecture, and management of document repositories. …
Several articles have documented the research role of embedded librarians at Ziba Design, a design consulting firm. Reece Dano, one of Ziba's embedded librarians, described his primary role as "secondary research," which includes identifying consumer and market trends, analyzing popular sentiment, and helping to "generate hypotheses about consumers by analyzing relevant secondary market and consumer research." In a subsequent article, Dano and his colleague Gretchen McNeely noted that for an embedded librarian, "discovering information gaps is the meat of every project"; to do this entails "auditing and assessing available information … as well as determining how to retrieve information not currently at hand."
In 2010, Jill Stover Heinze emphasized the importance of her research skills and ability to monitor the external environment—skills complementary to the skills of the marketing communications group in which she was embedded. The pairing of her research with their marketing knowledge led to opportunities such as co-authoring a corporate white paper and industry articles on legislative impacts that demonstrated the firm's thought leadership position among peers and potential clients.
At an unnamed law firm, the range of work done by embedded librarians included research and analysis for the firm's marketing department and its mergers and acquisitions practice. For its company representation practice, the embedded librarians began by stewarding an intranet-based repository related to regulatory filings. They were then called on for research tasks as their subject domain knowledge grew. When I revisited the firm in 2011, I found further examples of content and repository management combined with research and analysis. For a time, an embedded librarian had been assigned to work with another staff member to create a news- and issue-tracking database for the firm's benefits and compensation practice group.
The pattern of combining research and analysis with content and knowledge management has a great appeal. Many corporate and government settings emphasize the ability to make well-informed decisions and take action in a timely and effective manner—not on the skills of information retrieval and management. Information expertise, like expertise in other areas, is valued when it is clearly linked to effective decision making and timely action. Smart marketers, attorneys, engineers, and other professionals are willing to delegate information-related tasks to embedded librarians, just as they delegate other tasks, when they see that delegating is the most effective way to accomplish their objectives. By taking ownership of the full range of information-related tasks, the librarian in turn becomes the knowledge expert on the team. And, as the knowledge expert, the librarian is positioned to fulfill a key aspect of the vision that Bauwens advanced in his Cybrarians Manifesto.
In 1993, Bauwens advocated that cybrarians think of themselves not as traditional intermediaries but as network nodes in three dimensions: "first of all amongst each other, second with the teams [with which they are embedded], third to a network of outside information providers (other cybrarians and experts on the internet, information brokers)." …
Finally, as the information expert on the team, the embedded librarian has a natural affinity with other embedded information experts. By cultivating their own network, embedded librarians not only develop common methods to address needs and solve problems they share; they can also facilitate the sharing of knowledge across the organization. In recognition of this benefit, leading information services in corporations are establishing formal mechanisms to build and sustain these networks. One such initiative has taken place at the MITRE Corp., where "clusters" of embedded librarians "serve as vehicles for mentoring and sharing expertise, enhancing collaboration, identifying and connecting [cross-organizational] projects, and linking research and knowledge management needs across the corporation." This realizes Bauwens' vision of embedded librarians networking with each other.
The previous two chapters demonstrated that evaluation of the embedded librarian's contribution is very important in both the higher education and the medical settings. Academic librarians are working to establish formal learning goals related to information literacy and exploring ways to connect embedded instruction to student academic success. Medical librarians have conducted a variety of studies, even including at least one controlled, randomized trial, to assess the value of clinical medical librarians and informationists to healthcare practice and patient outcomes.
The corporate and government sectors are different. Over the years, specialized librarians and information professionals in these sectors have repeatedly been exhorted to measure their value in return on investment, time saved, costs saved, and similar measures.
Barreau's research contributed to this approach. Kaplan and Norton's Balanced Scorecard has been recommended as a framework for developing goals and measuring outcomes. However, in the reports from practitioners of embedded librarianship in this sector, formal evaluation plays a very limited role.
Evaluation practices were part of the discussions in two separate research visits, in 2009 and 2011, at a large, international law firm. In the first visit, only librarians and the library manager (the chief library and records officer of the firm) were interviewed. The researchers reported the following: The chief noted that the firm does not require ROI [return on investment] or other success measurements, maintenance of statistics or other data to justify the continuation of the programs. Accordingly, there are no formal evaluations of the programs. The chief does collect and acknowledge kudos received for work well done. Growth in the demand for services within the programs and demand for new programs are proof of success.
In the second visit, managers of information user groups were interviewed, in addition to the embedded librarians and the chief library and records officer. The situation had not changed. Feedback was still informal and anecdotal. The information user-group managers reinforced the previous findings. They felt that they were in a position to assess the nature of the librarians' contributions firsthand. They had high praise for the librarians' expertise and contributions to the work. They felt that if there were ever a need to address a performance problem or the value of the librarians' work, they could approach the chief library and records officer directly and be sure of an effective response. Both noted that the management culture of the firm encouraged informal collaboration among executives, rather than formal reporting mechanisms, and that the management and evaluation of embedded librarians was consistent with this culture. One summed up her assessment of librarians' value by saying that the librarian "makes everybody do such a better job."
Echoing that assessment, Heinze commented that one of her company's top executives refers to her as "the person who helps make everyone in the company smarter." In describing her role at Affinion Loyalty Group, she highlighted the importance of collaboration, relationships, and informal interactions in making awareness of her skills and her value immediately apparent to her colleagues and company executives. ...
Organizational Patterns
Another challenge of assessing embedded librarianship in this sector is that the embedded librarians don't always work in a library or information services unit. Sometimes they are directly employed by information user groups, whether or not an identifiable library organization exists. Heinze was hired as a solo research analyst in the marketing department at her firm. In the U.S. government, there are agencies in which librarians are embedded in specific offices to perform research, analysis, and knowledge management functions independent of the agency's library. In some cases, they are categorized as librarians, but in others, they may be labeled program analysts, information specialists, intelligence analysts, or information technology staff. This phenomenon is difficult to quantify, and there is no known comprehensive assessment of it.
Challenges and Opportunities
To assess the outlook for the future of the embedded model in these organizations, it helps to pull in literature from a related, yet quite different, object of study: the literature of corporate library closings.
Similar to the perception that the embedded librarianship model is growing, the perception that there is a trend toward the closure of specialized libraries, especially in the for-profit sector, has been prevalent in the literature in the first decade of the 21st century. Since no comprehensive documentation exists, it's difficult to understand both trends fully. Yet two researchers, James Matarazzo and Toby Pearlstein, have attempted an analysis. Their insights are also instructive in considering the prospects for embedded librarianship.
Matarazzo and Pearlstein published a series of articles during 2009 and 2010 in Searcher magazine under the heading "Survival Lessons for Libraries." Two of the articles documented actual experiences in the closure of libraries, in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and in American newspaper libraries. Others dealt with questions of outsourcing and the use of scenario planning as a strategic management tool for librarians.
Throughout the series, the authors referred to a predictive model of library closures, which associates the threat with five conditions:
• Decision made by senior management, without consulting those who used the library
• Library experiencing a reduction in the number of its users
• The availability of outside resources to substitute for the library
• A lack of library evaluation
• Evidence of a financial crisis in the parent organization …
The series barely mentioned embedded librarianship. It is the thesis of this book that the conditions for successful embedded librarianship are different from Matarazzo and Pearlstein's scenario and that embedded librarianship offers a very different definition and set of recommendations for success. ...
The successful embedded librarian has a broad view of the librarian's role. It is not to provide just expert research service, or information literacy instruction, or the management of internal content. The embedded librarian's role is to help the team use information most effectively in its operations, and the manager's role is to help the organization optimize its use of information—by the most appropriate means available. That means that embedded librarians are constantly trying to work themselves out of a job. It also means that they are change leaders, not change followers. And it means that they are in a position to experience sustained success.
If the preceding seems a bit farfetched—a rhetorical flight of fancy—perhaps two real-world examples will provide the necessary grounding. Both come from my report of site visits to successful embedded librarians. A librarian at a nonprofit corporation spent a great deal of time selecting and analyzing new technical articles and reports for a news alerting service. The librarian, and the information services management, became aware of a new outsourcing option that could substitute for much of this labor.
Upon testing the new option, they recommended it to the manager of the information user group, and it was adopted. The embedded librarian was freed from this work—but not laid off. Instead, new, higher-value tasks were assigned. In the second example, a librarian at a law firm was assigned to manage a database relating to a new regulatory issue being tracked by the firm. For a period, the librarian devoted a substantial amount of time to this responsibility and, as a result, made an important contribution to the firm's efforts to establish its position as a leader in this new area. Eventually, however, an information vendor started to provide an acceptable alternative. Although the activity was outsourced, the librarian in this example was not laid off either but continued with other high-value contributions to the work of the firm.
One other point, sometimes missed, needs to be emphasized—the importance of relationships. An increasing body of evidence, largely based on the groundbreaking work of Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman, demonstrates that decision making—in management, just as in everyday life—is at best only partly rational. It follows that all the objective justifications in the world may not matter if there are no personal relationships that establish credibility with decision makers.
Summing up, the outlook for embedded librarianship in corporate and specialized organizations depends on the ability of library managers and embedded librarians to do several things. Turning a different light on Matarazzo and Pearlstein's predictive model, here are five conditions for the sustainment and growth of embedded librarianship:
Establish relationships with key decision makers at all levels.
Ensure that the quality and value of the embedded librarians' contribution to the organization continues to increase.
Lead the drive to perform necessary functions by the most cost-effective means available, whether in-house or by outside providers.
Adopt evaluation practices that are consistent with the parent organization's management culture.
In a financial crisis, seek to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

NOP 2.17 Available NOW
Subject description: Nearly Office Pup 2.17
NOP 2.17 (Nearly Office Pup) is about to hit the shelves...
NOP is a remaster of puppy designed to be run from a USB pendrive on more modern computers. It is nearly office pup because you have to download an OpenOffice squash file (.sfs) onto the pendrive where your puppysave file is located to turn it into a working dog.
NOP has had Abiword and Gnumeric removed, but you can always add them back in by package manager if you dont want to use OpenOffice.
The Seamonkey suite has also been removed, along with Gaim, to be replaced by Opera 9.20 with Flash 7 plugin (tried to get 9 to work but it does not like opera
The really big change is that JWM and ROX have also been removed and totally replaced by Xfce 4.4.1 as the window manager and Thunar as file manager. Xfce comes complete with some useful panel plugins and some cool gtk themes
NOP also has the Nvidia 9639 drivers built-in and weighs in at only 86Mb !!!
Known issues :
Grafburn CD/DVD writer will go into endless loop and crash yor system if you do not set up the burner device in the preferences dialog.
You may have to drop out of X (ctrl-alt-backspace) and type nvidia-xconfig on the cmd line to get the 3D acceleration to work (or edit the xconf file and change the nv driver to nvidia).
Setting up alsa sound may corrupt the display of the Xfce panel etc. Drop out of X and restart with the xwin command to correct.
The sound mixer panel plugin seems a bit unstable and may crash xfce - recommend that you dont use it, use the mixer in the menu instead to set sound level.
If you upgrade any scripts that normally call rox you will have to edit them to comment out rox -D calls and replace rox or rox -d calls with thunar.
Here are some screen shots to whet your appetite.

This is awesome could other accelerated drivers be packaged in too for intel and ati. this could become beryl puppy with the addition of an sfs. Since you removed gaim could you add links to eqivalent web apps in opera maybe you could get some ideas from googlepuppy that kind of stuff is only usable while connected to the internet and the links woyldn't take up anyspace.

Get NOP 2.17 here !
(thanks MU)
Could some folks please mirror this. Ta
cb88: I dont have ATI or Intel cards, so I dont know. I suspect it could be done, but would blow out the size considerably. As far as replacing Gaim goes, Opera has a very nice Chat application built-in as well as a very good Mail application.
Lobster: I will think about MyPup online apps for the next NOP. The idea is certainly attractive for those that dont want OO and are online.

When downloading from MU's site just click on the file and then check the md5sum (wget will not work - to suppress leaching)
To ensure you do not interfere or combine with other versions - when booting use the option "puppy pfix=ram"
The keyboard wizard has been bypassed so you will have to run the wizard . . .
Did that and reran xorg but still getting " as @ . . .
I had to hunt around to set up the firewall and ethernet connection
as the layout is very different to other puplets
Right from the outset this feels good. Hm3 is used as the html viewer (for Puppy help files) and there are no games. The layout of menus is different, so takes a little getting used.
Opera and Xfce fans will be well pleased with this as will Nvidia users (I have an Nvidia card)
I take it you used unleashed? Anyway I am posting this from Hm3 (which is a full browser - you get Opera too), so far very impressed. Be interested how others get on
Thanks very much for making this available

I remastered by removing packages by hand. On the first remaster the keyboard wizard at bootup had vanished
. Dont know what happened - could be a bug in the remaster script. You can define keyboard setup using the Xfce settings - I think
. I am still quite new to linux and am learning daily.
The layout is different - I am sure some people will not like it, but I am very impressed with Xfce4. I only intended Hv3 for use with help files, the full set of Xfce help docs are included, but it is a good browser in its own right.

Very nice, again! Thanks.
Really cannot understand why BK messes around with Seamickey when Opera is just so much faster and professional!
No problems finding my way around. Isn't an en_AU k/b much the same as en_GB ??

The AU keyboard is actually more like the US keyboard. Australia has taken many bad habits from our american cousins.

Post subject: Keyboard Settings
There is a bug in NOP 2.17 for the Xorg keyboard settings. The xkbdconfigmanager script in/usr/local/bin points to the Xkbdconfigurationmanager in /usr/local whereas it is actually in /usr/local/apps. Best way to fix is to symlink the XkbdConfigurationManager folder to /usr/local (or edit the path to be correct in the script).
ie Open a Terminal. In the terminal type
ln -s /usr/local/apps/XkbdConfigurationManager /usr/local
This should then allow you to change keyboard settings to the country layout of your choice

Sorry...but I didn't like this release.
Thunar file manager would delete some files and not others.
Pagefile.sys...... refused to delete as well as.... hyberfil.sys.
And it was slow.
This wasn't a Windows issue as you can either delete all or nothing.
Obviously if XP doesn't shut down properly you can see the drive most times
but fail to move and or delete files and folders.
I always use Puppy to clean XP on customers computers
...in Documents and Settings etc...it's a beaut.
This release was sluggish compared to your first.
Apologies in advance........I am being negative ..but this release
wasn't the usual Puppy experience.

Well, we often have requests for a Puppy that looks and behaves like Windows.
Looking at the screenshot, this puplett is pretty close to this wish.
I think this really was needed to fulfill these wishes.
Advanced users can use the shell or install XFileExplorer (XFE) or mc if they prefer some more "power"
I really just can encourage to continue this puplett, maybe tweak it a bit to fix the reported issues.

I think I know what the problem is thunar is trying to copy/delete the files to the recycle bin and it is causing puppy to run low on ram therefore the file cannot be deleted also explains why it is running slow. this happened to me. moving the files to the hard disk solved the problem where i deleted part them then emptied the trash an finished deleteing
maybe add a force delete option and also add the mount sfs menu option.
does this have gtk 2.10? if so wow's latest compiz-fusion will run on this however beryl as compiled by wow will not says glxinfo and libglut are missing ect.. in the error messages. I think this may be due to the driver being 9639 and not 9629 as was used in earlier versions. i have installed beryl on 2.14 and 2.16
runs fretsonfire on my gefore2 mx 400 just fine get some /dev/sequencer errors in the console though.
I like thunar a lot better than rox
also hope you can get flash 9 working in opera

MU " Well, we often have requests for a Puppy that looks and behaves like Windows. "
Hello MU.
No I wasn't looking at that.
All I was saying was that from Puppy 2.10? you could delete Windows files and folders and move them around.
This was not happening here with Puppy 2.17NOP, some deleted and some would not.
And it was slow. ...compared to the regular releases.
An honest assessment...but not a gracious one.
"I think I know what the problem is thunar is trying to copy/delete the files to the recycle bin and it is causing puppy to run low on ram therefore the file cannot be deleted also explains why it is running slow "
I will post a link to this and repost my answer elsewhere as to
why Puppy is useful for XP.
" Why I use Puppy for XP "
Here's what I do with Puppy on XP.
" Reboot Windows and copy the ...1 New Xp onto a DVD.
I can copy the contents of that onto a backup drive, USB...larger capacity,
another partition whatever.
So if Windows dies I have a pristine backup.
10000 viruses...I don't care..move the whole lot with Puppy to another folder....copy the new installation back to the drive..reboot Windows,
update AVG and scan the lot...and then safely bring the data...word docs,
pics, etc back to Documents and Settings. "
20 minutes tops.

Waiting period expires to pave way for major indie acquisition.
Entertainment One has announced that it now has clearance to acquire Alliance Films for CAD$225m ($228m) as the applicable waiting period under the Canadian Competition Act has expired.
The indie merger will create a group operating across Canada, the UK, Benelux, Australia, the US and Spain.
The deal for Alliance will give it Canadian rights to around 11,000 titles including The Hunger Games.
The agreement was first announced in September, following months of speculation. eOne CEO Darren Throop then told Screen that it would be "some months" before the company announced the personnel makeup of the combined Entertainment One - Alliance Films operation.

I'm on my way to Ohio today, instead of in Tucson at AZLA where this award is to be presented. Since I won't be there, and a representative of the Library System is accepting the award on my behalf, I'm sharing the news release, although I shared the news two months ago. And, then, you can read the acceptance speech that someone else is reading in my place.
Glendale Library Manager Lesa Holstine
Wins Outstanding Library Service Award
Glendale, Ariz. – The Arizona Library Association (AzLA) will honor a select group of people at its 2011 conference in November. This year's Outstanding Library Service Award recipient is Lesa Holstine, library manager for the Velma Teague Branch of the Glendale Public Library.
Presented to an individual whose activities go beyond the standard requirements of good library service, the award recognizes activities that impact the local community and serve as a model for other libraries.
In her seven years as the Velma Teague Library manager, Holstine's highly esteemed book critiques and renowned authors' visits have transformed the small downtown Glendale library into a literary powerhouse. Holstine has attracted the attention of national publishers, best-selling authors and library patrons who line up for a steady stream of discussions, author appearances, book signings and lectures.
Holstine reads an average of twenty books a month for reviews, with a heavy emphasis on mysteries and thrillers - - a passion she says began in her childhood with the Nancy Drew series and other children's mysteries.
Many of the books she reads are sent to her by publishers hoping for a review. After the books are read and reviewed, she donates them to the library to help offset budget cuts in the library's collection development fund. As a result, the Velma Teague Library is now home to one of the finest collections of mysteries and thrillers in the area.
Winner of the "Spinetingler Award for Best Reviewer" in both 2009 and 2010, her widely acclaimed reviews can be found in a number of publications including Library Journal, Mystery Readers Journal, The Strand Magazine and Women's World.
Holstine started her popular blog, "Lesa's Book Critiques," in 2005. Her book reviews have been picked up by USAtoday.com, Reuters, and other distributors.
Authors praise Holstine for giving honest reviews of their books, even if it means going against the grain. Many of her reviewed authors are hosted at the library for book signings through the popular "Authors @ the Teague" series, which regularly attracts nationally best-selling authors such as William Dugoni, New York Times bestseller and William Dietrich, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.
Holstine's career as a library manager/administrator has spanned over 30 years from Ohio to Florida and now to Arizona.
Holstine's nominator for the AzLA award, colleague Anna Caggiano says, "Lesa exemplifies outstanding library service. She goes above and beyond for her library, the authors and her community."
Here's my acceptance speech.
Here's my acceptance speech.
I'm sorry I'm not with you today to accept the Arizona Library Association's Public Service Award. However, you should probably be grateful that you don't have to watch me stand up here and cry.
Instead of being here with you, I've gone back to my roots. I'm home visiting my family in Ohio. And, since this award is really about roots and community, I wanted to just mention them.
I'm from a small town in northcentral Ohio, right on the lake. I started working in the Huron Public Library as a page when I was sixteen, and I never left the library. My roots are there. My mother worked in a high school library, and, my sisters both worked as pages after I did. A year after grad school, I went home to Huron as Library Director, and stayed there for five years before moving to Florida.
It was the women I worked with at the Huron Public Library, though, who taught me about libraries and service to the community. I've never forgotten that. They shared their passion for readers, authors, and books. As Director of the Huron Public Library, I brought my first author to the community, a local author who talked about books, writing, family, and home.
Huron gave me my start in libraries. I worked in Florida for eighteen years, and, then I came to Arizona seven years ago. The library directors in Glendale, Rodeane Widom, Sue Komernicky, and Cheryl Kennedy, allowed me to share my passion for books and authors with the people of Glendale, and the wider community of readers. It all started when Rodeane sent me to a workshop sponsored by the state library. Honestly? I didn't get much out of the three day workshop, but I learned to blog. That blog put me in contact with readers, authors, and publishers, and I've tapped into that relationship. The brown bag luncheons in which I share books with library patrons and library staff, and the Authors @ The Teague programs, which bring authors to Glendale., are a result of my blog, and that one workshop. The programs happen because the library staff in Glendale, at the Velma Teague Branch where I work, and at the Main and Foothills Libraries, try to bring outstanding programs to the public. And many of those authors programs came about because Barbara Peters, owner of the Poisoned Pen Bookstore in Scottsdale, partnered with me to bring authors to Glendale. Barbara Peters understands public service and the commitment to enhance the quality of life in a community. She's a former librarian.
When I was sixteen, I found my life's passion, working in the public library. It's been a joy to share my love of books and reading with the people in the communities where I've lived and worked, as well as the community of far-flung readers on the Internet.
To me, the public service award recognizes the people who have given me a gift, a love of books, libraries, and people, and the opportunity to bring them together. Thank you for honoring all those people who gave me roots, and all those people in the communities I've served, by presenting me with this award.

Evensong is a version of Evening Prayer in which most of the service is sung. Evening Prayer, which begins on page 115 of the Book of Common Prayer, is a daily liturgy celebrated in the late afternoon or early evening. Like Morning Prayer—and in contrast to the Eucharist—the service may be led by a layperson. At Trinity Church, in the Chapel of All Saints, Evensong has an officiant who directs the assembly in prayer, volunteers who read the scripture, and a cantor who leads the singing of canticles, psalms, and hymns.

My Tait connection
My Tait line starts with great great grandmother Elisabeth Tait, wife of great great grandfather William Cracket. This line is still very much a mystery to me as I have not been able to find birth or marriage records for Elisabeth Tait. I know her name from the birth certificate for my great grandfather Leonard Cracket.

SQL statement report is disabled
I have been able to enable the system audit on mysql database but the report for SQL statement and audit operation is still disabled.
My intention is to audit/see the full SQL statement (query, insert) to my database.
Why the report option for 'Enabled SQL Statement and Operations Audit Options' is disabled?

This particular report is not applicable to MYSQL systems. This report only applies to Oracle and Sybase ASE systems.
Use "Enabled Global audit Options" report to report on effective auditing settings for MySQL.
Basically, if you see certain report disabled, that only means that that report is not applicable to your system. It doesn't mean that something is wrong. Please keep in mid that DB Audit is a multi-database and multi-platform products, certain things apply to specific platforms and systems only.

Thanks for the response
Btw, the "Enabled Global audit Options" is only to list all audit options that you have entered
How can I audit/see the full SQL statement (query, insert) to my database?

Try Report/System and Audit Activities Reports/Text of SQL Queries
Text of queries is also available in many other reports along with filtered and aggregated information. Have you tried reports in "System and Audit Activities Reports" group, "Compliance Reports", and "Behavior Analysis Reports" report groups?

I have tried Report/System and Audit Activities Reports/Text of SQL Queries, "Compliance Reports", and "Behavior Analysis Reports" report groups
NONE of the report display any audit information
I have set my audit options to audit all
Login (successful), Login (failed), Logout, Replication, Table Maintenance, Account Management, Privileged Operation (CREATE/DROP/ ALTER/RENAME), Grant/Revoke Privilege, Database Administration, Data Load From Files, Table Locks, Dynamic SQL, Schema Object Access, Set Variables and Modes, User Password Change, Transactions Control, Show Variables or Statistics, Use Database, Error
I also executed few queries to my audit database.
But still, no audit information is reported.
Why no audit information is captured?

This means that the auditing is not running. When you click System Audit/Set Audit Options menu, on the Set Audit Options dialog do you see word "Enabled" at the bottom of this dialog?
If it says "Enabled", please post screenshots of your audit filters (screenshots of that dialog tab pages) so I can suggest what is not configured correctly.

With such restrictive filters you are not going to get anything good. Here is what I suggest. Clear ALL filters, update settings using the "Update Audit Settings" button. Perform some activities in the database. Run report and ensure you get something in these reports. Then go back, and put back most important filters, one filter at a time, after each filter change, run reports and check what you get. Find a balance of right filters and types of captured events and data.
Filters should be meaningful. Please note that filters are applied as complex logical operation with elements joined using logical AND (not OR). You cannot audit failed logins and have filters set by database or by object. It just doesn't make any sense.
For example, if you filter audit events by hosts, don't filter them by users. If you filter by users, don't filter by hosts. Please keep in mind that filters are used to limit the amount of audited events, not to choose users or objects to be audited.
Lastly, please do not include "db_audit" in filters, this will cause troubles.

Thanks for the filter setup tips.

But still no audit information is captured.
Not sure where goes wrong. :(

Please let us know if you see any data in db_audit.sys_audit_trail table.
If your MySQL server is running on a Windows system, please check which DB Audit messages you get in the Windows Application Event log. Please look for messages with "DB Audit" in the source column.
If your MySQL server is running on a Linux system, please check which DB Audit messages you get in the syslog.

NO record in the sys_audit_trail table. After a restart on my machine, the table is now populated with audit data.
In the Event Application Log, I got 1 warning log from DB Audit
The description for Event ID 1 from source DB Audit cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
Warning: Can't set shared library unloading hook, to safely stop server or uninstall audit, call `db_audit_stop` funtion
The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file
2. And another error log from mysql
Error writing file 'querylog' (General Query Log)
Why error occurs? Any major impact?

As long as you can normally shutdown the server and data appears in db_audit.sys_audit_trail data, you don't need to worry about these warnings. They are not good, but we can investigate them later. However, if you have problems shutting down MySQL server, you should remove the auditing and contact our support for further instructions.
In any case, I am going to log this issue in our bug tracking database and ask development team to take a look. Please let me know which version of MySQL you are running (full number please) and on which platform because this is the first question they are going to ask.

I checked release notes and the last version we tested from 5.0 branch of MySQL was 5.0.65. There must be some anomaly in 5.0.67 that is leading to side effect. I will let developers know and ask them to take a look.
I hope you can use the auditing as is while we are investigating this issue.

kitchen 'befores'
I'll be honest, it's been a tough few weeks. I am so happy to have Elin here! She's beautiful and sweet but she's also a lot of work. I know newborns are a lot of work but this time around I have two kids, and it's an adjustment. Not to mention I have laundry and cooking and my shop to keep up with. I'm not doing a great job just yet but every day is getting a little better.
Here's a few before and in-the-process photos. I realized while looking for photos that I really forgot to take a proper 'before' shot of the ugly rental kitchen, oops! But I did find this iphone photo for you to feast your eyes on.
Clearly it wasn't my style, not even close, but style aside there were so many issues with the original kitchen. The tile grout was never sealed so it absorbed all liquids and stains like a sponge. The tile was textured so it trapped a lot of crumbs and dirt and the sharp edges stuck out in places, we accidentally hurt ourselves on them multiple times. The beveled cabinets doors made cleaning so much more work, stuff would get stuck in the little corners of the fronts. Gross.
Also, the half wall/bar that stuck out made the entryway small enough that only one person at a time could walk in and out of the kitchen. It just felt suffocating.
And then there's the colors they chose. Honey colored cabinets with the same wood floor and then beige tile everywhere. There's no contrast, just a dark honey/beige hole. I also didn't like the appliances, they were bulky and outdated.
The new kitchen solves our old kitchen problems with flat doors, smooth counters, bright white, steamlined appliances. It's so much easier to clean this new version and much happier as well. I wanted an open space so that the kitchen felt like a part of the rest of the house, and a room people could easily walk in and out of. Plus I have a much better view of the rest of the house now.

Wow that really is beautiful. I dream of a kitchen like this one day! I'm very glad all the stress is over- it will definitely be worth it xReplyDelete
Wow, that's a great change. The "before" kitchen was definitely far away from your style ;) Your new kitchen looks functional and well designed!ReplyDelete
Looove it! So you. Love the handle-less cupboards too.ReplyDelete
The new kitchen is wonderful :) I'd love to rip out our kitchen as well but since it is a rental and we won't live there too much longer anymore, it doesn't make much sense, so I just hate it very much until we move out ;)ReplyDelete
Your little looks amazing (Following on Insta) i dont even know how you do it with 2 ! I just had my 1 st little girl a month ago and only now it feels a little bit better !ReplyDelete
The results of this kitchen is great no matter how hard it was !
Nice work.
it looks amazing !ReplyDelete
would you mind telling me
what kind of counter top you have used?
is it corian ??
glacier white may be?
custom made?
thanks a million
I live in a part of the US in which your "before" kitchen is many people's dream style... ugh it drives me mad! Your "now" kitchen is a DREAM! A perfect dream come true! Refreshing! Bravo!ReplyDelete
And I hope you aren't too hard on yourself for not being able to keep up with as many things as you like. You're probably the only person who thinks that... everyone else thinks you are utterly fabulous. xxx
Wow, what an amazing transformation! We are currently renting and our kitchen looks eerily similar to your 'before' kitchen. Aren't tile countertops the worst...really, it's like a cruel joke! I'm bracing myself for when our second babe arrives next month. It's refreshing to see your honesty here. It'll only get easier.ReplyDelete
what an improvement! love love love your new kitchen.... enjoy it.ReplyDelete
Your kitchen is just amazing, enjoy it with your lovely family, xReplyDelete
Looks so fab Jen, ten million percent better than the before. We are currently without a kitchen in our new house too. Lucky it's summer so the bbq is getting a work out. You must be feeling so fab with your sparkly new kitchen (and sparklier new baby, congratulations x), enjoy!ReplyDelete
That's an amazing kitchen now :)ReplyDelete
Good job!

Template classification is the act of assigning your templates a type that then determines how that template will appear on mobile web.
Types also make your wiki smarter and your templates easier to manage. They enhance Insights and group your templates automatically on Special:Templates.
Classifying a template is easy, and many templates never require any work on your part. Most of the ones that need classification are new ones that you create.
How it works
A template's current type is shown just under the page title on a template page. This type can be changed by logged-in users who have edit permissions on that template.
Updates can be made via the template page and via the right rail of the editor when you're editing the template. Clicking the listed type or the pencil icon next to it will open a dialog that lets you select the template type.
Additionally, a dialog will ask you for the template type when creating a new template or when publishing an edit to a template page which has no type set.
Any automated classifications - those detected by the "machine" systems - are overridden by your classification choices.
Bulk edits
Admins can bulk edit template types via category pages. If a category contains one or more templates, an option to 'Bulk edit template type' will appear under the 'Edit' button dropdown.
When a bulk edit is saved, all previously set types will be overwritten.
If the category contains 150+ pages in any namespace, there may be a delay between saving your changes and seeing the correct type populated.
Changes made to a template's classification can be seen on Special:Log and be filtered under the 'Template type' option.
Template types
The current template types are listed below. There are some overlaps between the types, so we recommend you choose the type that is most specific to each template.
Note: These may be updated in the future based on your feedback - feel free to send in your thoughts to Special:Contact/feedback.
Infoboxes display the most essential information about an article in a box at the top of the page. These usually float to the right side of the page but sometimes they span the entire width of the page.
- Examples
- https://indianajones.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_Artifact
- https://scrubs.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Character
- https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Volume_Infobox
Many communities use quote templates to highlight notable snippets of text such as lyrics, book passages, spoken dialog, or extracts from interviews or news articles. These templates often contain either a quote from one source or dialog between multiple people.
- Examples
- https://thehungergames.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Quote
- https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Dialogue_a-b
- https://ben10.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Quote
Navbox templates display a list of organized links in a box for readers to navigate to related articles, usually at the bottom of the page.
- Elements that use the
navboxclass are hidden by default on mobile web, unless the immediate parent element has the
- Examples
- https://runescape.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Weapon
- https://undertale.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Navbox_characters
- https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Rescue_Rangers
Also known as hatnotes or alerts, these templates notify the reader about the status of the article itself, such as if it is a stub, if there is an associated disambiguation page, or if the article contains spoilers.
Notice templates often appear at the very top of an article page but also appear in certain sections or at the bottom of the page.
- Hidden by default on mobile web.
- Examples:
- https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Update
- https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Stub
- https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Speculation
These templates suggest another page that is related to the current page or section. The two most frequent uses of this type are "Main article" or "See also" and display as italicized text. These are used at the top of an article page or at the top of a section within an article page.
- On mobile web, this type is an indented block element, offset by significant vertical space.
- Examples
- https://vampirediaries.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Main
- https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Template:See_also
- https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Template:For
These templates are used for creating a link or text with a small icon. These are very popular on gaming communities to represent currency, items, or controller symbols. The icons are sometimes linked to other pages.
Infoicons can appear inside paragraph text, inside infoboxes, or in bulleted lists.
- On mobile web, these templates render only the icon, with no corresponding text nor any other content beyond the image.
- Visual Examples
- ↑ image is part of Infoicon template, but text is not
- ↑ image is part of Infoicon template, but text is not
- Example Templates
- https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Icon
- https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Horde_Icon_Small
These templates display their contents in a scrollable box. Scrollboxes are used to conserve space on article pages for very long lists.
- Examples
- https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Scrollbox
- https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Scroll
- https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Scroll
Citation or reference
These templates organize and standardize the display how sources of content on an article page are annotated. These can be either used to place a single reference in an article or to build a references list at the bottom of the article page.
These templates can optionally use <ref> tags or build in-line citations.
- Examples
- https://arresteddevelopment.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Ep
- https://fringe.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Crossref
- https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Reflist
Image, video, or gallery
The purpose of any template in the image, video, or gallery type is to standardize or modify the display of one or more images or videos on an article page.
These are often used to build a gallery or to format how an image thumbnail displays.
- Examples
- https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Gallery
- https://lostpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Template:I
- https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Icon
Any templates that do not fall into the types above but add information or data to an article page should be classified as data. This includes (but is certainly not limited to) templates that are used to build tables, templates that are used to generate math equations, or pieces of data (e.g. price of an item, release version of a game, etc.) that are inserted on multiple pages.
- Examples
- https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Template:DM_card
- https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Item_table_row
- https://wowwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Battlepet_ability_row
- https://arresteddevelopment.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Season_3_Episodes
If a template's sole purpose is to modify how an article page (or a piece of an article page) looks, it should be classified as design. Common uses include adding tabs, modifying the visual display of text or tables, or relocating the table of contents.
- Examples
- https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Credits
- https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Tab
- https://ladygaga.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Scroll_box
If a template's sole purpose is to help readers or other editors find another article page or category it should be classified as navigation. Example uses include page-top icons, recommended links to other websites, categorizers, or succession boxes.
The most popular types of navigation templates are navboxes and context links, which are listed above.
- Navigation templates that contain <div>, <table>, or <p> elements are hidden by default on mobile web.
- Example
Assign this type if a template is not used on any article (content) pages. For example, if the template is only used on talk pages, template pages, file pages, user pages, or only on your community's main page.
- https://theodoretugboat.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Talk_header
- https://assassinscreed.fandom.com/wiki/Template:CC-BY-SA
- https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Main_Page_Character_Gallery
The 'default' type, when no other template type has been chosen.
Template types and categories
The template types feature is separate from template categories. Since the usage of such categories vary hugely across Fandom, template classification and categories do not affect each other. You can continue to use template categories exactly as the same as before.

Metabolism describes the burning of calories which the body converts to the energy it needs to function. The three main ways the body burns calories are: resting metabolic rate (RMR), thermic effect of food and physical activity. RMR is the number of calories we burn to maintain our bodily functions. This is measured by measuring your oxygen consumption while you are quietly sitting in a fasting state.
The metabolism screening offered through Wellness Services at Sterling Regional MedCenter measures your oxygen consumption and helps you determine a calories level to meet your goals.
The cost of the 30-minute screening and consultation is $30. Call 521-3260 today to make your appointment.
The next screening is on Tuesday, Oct. 7. All appointments are in the morning starting at 7 a.m.

Boot error code 0xc0000011 on an Azure VM
This article provides a solution to an issue where Windows VM doesn't start with error code 0xc0000011.
Original product version: Virtual Machine running Windows
Original KB number: 4010134
Windows doesn't start. Instead, the system generates an error that resembles the following:
File: \Windows\System32\drivers\<BINARY>
Status: 0xc0000011
Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing or corrupt.
In this message, <BINARY> represents the actual binary file that's found.
This issue occurs because of a file version mismatch between the binary file that's indicated in the error message and the file that the system expects to find.
To fix the issue, follow these steps.
Step 1: Attach the OS disk of the VM to another VM as a data disk
- Delete the virtual machine (VM). Make sure that you select the Keep the disks option when you do this.
- Attach the OS disk as a data disk to another VM (a troubleshooting VM). For more information, see How to attach a data disk to a Windows VM in the Azure portal.
- Connect to the troubleshooting VM. Open Computer management > Disk management. Make sure that the OS disk is online and that its partitions have drive letters assigned.
Step 2: Replace the corrupted file
On the attached disk, browse to the location of the binary file that's displayed in the error message.
Rename the file to
On the attached disk, browse to the \Windows\winsxs folder. Then, search for the binary file that's displayed in the error message. To do this, run the following command at a command prompt:
dir <binaryname> /s
The command lists all the different versions of the binary file together with the created date. Copy the latest version of the binary file to the windows\system32 folder by running the following command:
copy <drive>:\Windows\WinSxS\<directory_where_file_is>\<binary_with_extension> <drive>:\Windows\System32\Drivers\
For example, see the following screenshot.
- The screenshot shows volume E. However, the actual letter will appropriately reflect the one of the faulty drives (the OS disk attached as a data disk on the troubleshooting VM).
- If the latest binary doesn't work, you can try the previous file version to obtain an earlier system update level on that component.
- If the only binary that's returned in this step matches the file that you're trying to replace on the affected VM, and if both files have the same size and time stamp, you can replace the corrupted file by copying it from another working VM that has the same OS and, if possible, the same system update level.
Detach the repaired disk from the troubleshooting VM. Then, create a VM from the OS disk.

Easy Peanut Butter Pie
This rich, old-fashioned dessert was an immediate hit with three girlfriends I used to live with. Now my husband and I run a small church camp and our two boys consume a lot of our time and energy—as well as my peanut butter pie!
Total TimePrep: 25 min. Bake: 15 min.
Makes8-10 servings
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 pastry shell (9 inches), baked
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Place confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Cut in peanut butter until crumbly. Spread half of mixture in pastry shell.
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Stir in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in butter and vanilla; set aside.
- In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Spread reserved custard evenly over peanut butter mixture. Spread meringue over hot filling, sealing edges to crust. Sprinkle with reserved peanut butter mixture. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

From Eric Branch at our sister site SFGate, the website of the San Francisco Chronicle:
Looking ahead to his team's Dec. 23 meeting at Seattle, Harbaugh said he will contact the NFL office regarding the physical play of the Seahawks' cornerbacks Thursday night.
In San Francisco's 13-6 win, Harbaugh claimed, Seattle's big-bodied corners, Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman, were too handsy in coverage. San Francisco's wide receivers had six catches for 63 yards on 14 targets and were routinely contacted beyond five yards from the line of scrimmage.
Harbaugh said he wanted clarity on what Seattle's corners, both at least 6-foot-3, could get away with before the teams meet in Week 16.
"Yeah, I think that's just an important thing to address," Harbaugh said. "I mean, what is this all being defined as? Is it physical play? Is it within the rules? I think that's the biggest question: Is it within the rules what's happening? We have to ask that question. We have to know what the interpretation is."
Asked about his wideouts being "locked up" in coverage, Harbaugh said, "I wouldn't use the words 'locked up.' There's another word I would use. But we'll take that up with the officials in New York and get their view of it."
There were several strange calls during Thursday's game, two of which were quickly amended on the field. On a 12-yard touchdown reception by Delanie Walker, the 49ers' tight end was initially ruled to have stepped out of bounds at the 1-yard line, although he clearly reached the end zone. In the second quarter, 49ers cornerback Tarell Brown was flagged for a helmet-to-helmet hit on quarterback Russell Wilson, which inspired outraged shouts of "No way!" from Harbaugh before it was waved off. Brown hit Wilson around his torso.
In the second quarter, there was a penalty that wasn't called: Seattle defensive end Chris Clemons grabbed Alex Smith's facemask and yanked it to the side, resulting in an incomplete pass.
"It's not impossible to throw the ball when your helmet is turned and you're looking out the side of the ear hole, but it makes it a lot harder," Harbaugh said dryly. "And it was amazing that that ball wasn't intercepted, because that's hard to do. Not insurmountable, not insurmountable. But it's very hard. That's a little window."
Harbaugh's main concern, however, was what he perceived to be holding by Seattle's corners. His lobbying Friday came a week after he responded angrily to Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride, who said 49ers defensive tackle Justin Smith "gets away with murder" in holding offensive linemen.
In a statement, Harbaugh said it was "obvious that the Giants coaching staff's sole purpose is to use their high visibility to both criticize and influence officiating."
At least one person thinks Harbaugh's own efforts to influence the league office are amusing. Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin, who played for Harbaugh at Stanford, wrote on Twitter: "Jim said Sherm and BB were playing too rough. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"

And then there's a bunch of guys doing a video about how stupid and awful women who talk about harassment are. I haven't watched it (and oh god do I not want to) but it's partly transcribed, and what's there is awful. It's so awful, and the comments by one of the guys involved with it are so awful, that the combination had me slamming on the brakes and deciding (again) that I can't do a talk at TAM.
But there are people who tell me they decided to go partly because I'm going to be there, and I would feel like a worm if I didn't go, so I took the brakes off again. But this stuff is pissing me off like you would not believe.
Gilliel provides a relevant (to me) segment:
-"Ophelia Benson compared TAM to Nazi Germany" 11:12:15 Another blatant lie. I don't agree with Ophelia's post, but that's not what she wrote. It simply isn't. -"If Ophelia thinks TAM is like Nazi Germany, why is she going there?" Well, it might be because she never actually said that…(1:12:35)
Also, it's because I was invited and I accepted long before DJ decided to do all this blaming of the women talking about harassment. The comparison I did make (which was not "TAM is like Nazi Germany") came after DJ blamed the women talking about harassment (which could, for all I knew and still know, have included me).
But anyway – that kind of ERVesque bullying doesn't make me look forward to going.
DJ should do something about all this. I still don't understand why he thought it would be a good idea to antagonize a bunch of women (and a bunch of men) some of whom were part of the program at TAM, a few weeks before TAM. I think of the wonderful people who organized QED, and how welcome I felt before I got there and while I was there and after I left. I wonder why DJ does not operate more like them.

Are you really asking?
Well then. To begin with, the procedure has a Nietzschean quality to it: I pull back from the world because it's too shallow or needy or boring, the guitar in my lap becomes an escape and an extension of that abyss I long for and need to stare into for hours on end. Occasionally throwing it a well-shaped pebble, a corrupted line of mindless thought or just a disharmonious drone, a dogmatic idea to challenge it, a visceral desire to not just simply create but to lust and be and bleed, to exist entirely outside my self for just a blissy splinter of a high second.
And eventually it stays with me, grows and repeats itself over and over. More refined every time, to a point where my fingers start singing, attaching sense to reason. We become acquainted. If I'm lucky, the affection is mutual.
Then all those questions become redundant.
There always comes (sic) an answer. It builds and solidifies in endless layers. It deepens further. And from that deepest of depths the darkness starts to sing back. Sound becomes form, melody tells an unscrupulous story. Another fleeing child--a delightful demon--is spawned. The song is freed from matter.
Then I put that as an answer to the world here and there because I don't need it anymore. And the world needs it even less. Because nobody needs music. It just is. So we part ways and I love you a little more.
That is not a question you should ask.

Irondale Youth Hockey Association Board Meeting Minutes
IYHA September 18, 2014 Board of Directors Meeting: Called to order 6:36 pm by President Tom Gombold.
Board Members Present: Brent Eilefson, Nicki Oswald, Kara Chamberlain, Adam Schmidt, Rob Hanson, Tom Gombold, Steve Clark, Tim Manson, Bill Jacob
Board Members Absent: Dave Walsh, James Sigmundik
Guests: Tracy Henry
Minutes: August meeting minutes will be reviewed and approved at future meeting.
Board Roundtable:
President: General update.
Vice President: MV has forwarded a sponsorship initiative to attract corporate sponsors. Also, moving forward with Heggies pizza fundraiser in December. Generally has not been involved in ice matters, though expects to meet with Gallagher soon about ice distribution. Discussion about mite ice—MV seeking a block of ice that may exceed what is needed, and includes 7 am ice. Thought is to work with MV to schedule mites at times other than 7 am, and turn back 7 am ice to older teams.
Secretary: General co-op update. Progress on all fronts. Generally challenges seem to arise from lack of communication and sense that IYHA is less concerned about things MV gets hung-up on. That said, things seem to be coming together nicely heading into tryouts.
Treasurer: Cash ok, some funds coming in from D1 settlement. In contact with MV treasurer about financial stuff. Attended Lake Region meeting. LR is a bit strapped—don't expect much financial support here. Losing pull tab sites. Need to find more, and more lucrative, sites.
Boys Program Coordinator: Coach selection committee met. Coaches selected for A bantam and A peewee. Squirt A has two candidates but will not be selected until post-tryout. Coaches meeting on Monday, 9/22, emphasize skills. Warmups have started and are well-attended (except for goalies). Plenty of help running the warmups.
Girls Program Coordinator: Absent.
Initiation Program Coordinator: Discussed anticipated numbers of near 175 including Learn to Skate. Expectation of around 40 skaters on the ice at a time, requiring about 4 hour block of ice Saturday morning/Sunday afternoon. Seek to avoid 7 am practice times. Will work with Rich at MV to get scheduled.
District Representative: Attended D10 meeting. Safesport training required for all coaches, which was a bit controversial.
Ice Commissioner: See VP report.
Registration coordinator: Registration numbers good. Goalies needed! 453 registered. Learn Hockey – 27, Mite 1/2/3 – 125, U8 – 17, Squirt – 68, U10 – 31, Peewee – 79, U12 – 26, Bantam – 54, U14 - 24
Equipment Manager: Absent.
Boys HS Coach: Announced second annual alumni game, 11/26, 6:30-9:30 at SR. Get the word out! Coach willing to run skills clinics on 8 dates over the course of the season. Cost would be around $100/$50 for goalies. Of interest, IHS is co-oping with Fridley this season for HS hockey. HS numbers way down at both MV (~28 skaters) and Irondale (~32 skaters).
Girls HS Coach: Absent.
Standing Reports:
Player and Coach Development Committee:
Lake Region: See Treasurer report.
Fundraising Committee:
Potential Partnership Committee: Dormant.
Website Update:
Promotion and Retention Director: Tracy Henry - try hockey free day coming up. 9/27. Branded merchandise issue arose relative to the kickoff event. Generally not sure what will be available for branded merchandise, presuming at Lettermans. Board wants to highlight and thank Tracy for all of the efforts around promotion and retention—great work!
Old Business:
New Business:
Adjourned at 7:50 pm.
THE NEXT BOARD MEETING WILL BE October 16, 2014, 6:30 PM, AT THE NEW BRIGHTON FAMILY SERVICE CENTER

By Chris Wright
As promised, hot on the heels of our Top XI Favourite Premier League Home Kits, comes its companion piece: Pies' rundown of our ten – yes, we counted properly this time – favourite away kits to have graced the English top flight since 1992/93.
10. Tottenham, 1994/95: Here we see the lovely Miss Martina Navratilova modeling Spurs' fantastic purple kit from 1994. What a glorious sight to behold.
9. Chelsea, 1994/96: You never thought you'd find yourself sympathising with Dennis Wise, did you? Sometimes you've just got to hold your hands up and say "That's f**king terrible in every way Umbro, but I admire the strength of your conviction".
8. Derby County, 2007/08: Sleek, razor sharp and with an air of ninja-like stealth about it. Therefore it had absolutely nothing in common with Derby's 07/08 vintage, who set and still hold the record for the lowest points total ever accrued (11) since the introduction of the "3 points for a win" rule and equaled Loughborough's 108-year-old record for going the length of a season and managing just one victory (against Newcastle, if you were wondering).
7. Newcastle United, 1996/97: A spiffing kit from back when, for some unbeknownst reason, Adidas thought the incredibly overstated V-neck was king. Bet that thing chaffed like a motherhumper.
6. Arsenal, 1995/96: The Gunners' "blue lightning" kit regularly crops up on both "Best of…" and "Worst of…" lists when it comes to this kind of thing, but we happen to think it's a beautiful example of the mid-90s "kitchen sink" kit design rationale actually working for once. We also conveniently choose to forget that it was very much a like-for-like rehash of the previous season's change strip too.
5. Everton, 2012/13: As you've probably garnered by now, we're stone cold suckers for plain black kits and Everton's change strip last year was no exception. The big yellow features also gave it a bit of pizzazz.
4. Man City, 2009/2010: Technically, we think this may have been City's third strip for that season (the away kit was black/dark blue with yellow flecks on the shoulders?), but it's too bloody lovely to not include. Definitely one of our favourite kits of recent years. You just can't beat a bit of sexy sash action!
3. Liverpool, 1995/96: You like quadrants? Oh, we got quadrants buddy boy! If memory serves, the particular shade of green used on Liverpool's kit was "industrial petrol spillage".
2. Blackburn Rovers, 1996/97: It's a shame we couldn't root out a better picture of this particular Rovers strip as it really was a ray of sunshine in a bleak, bleak world. Clashed with Colin Hendry's proud mane of albino lion hair something fierce.
1. Nottingham Forest, 1993/95: Just look at it; so blue and turquoise-y and luscious. Mmmm mmmm. So it's another Forest kit at No.1? So bloody what? It's my list and I'll do what I want!
Honourable mentions: Sheffield United 1993/95, Manchester United 1993/95, Arsenal 2011/12, etc, etc
Agree/disagree? Feel free to share your personal favourite Premier League away kits with us…
