Why does The Urban Foresters Exist?
We are a tree service business. That should be obvious (if not, we need to fire the web team!) Servicing trees, however is not why we are in business. Tree work is what we do, but our "why" is deeper, more idealistic more meaningful. We come to work every day for growth. To be made whole through our ordinary duties and tasks. This of course involves earning money for our services and benefiting our families financially in doing so, but we also actively strive for deeper union with each other, our clients and God as we perform our work. If that resonates with you, we'd absolutely love to do business with you! If that's not your thing, and you just want to work with the best tree service out there, it is our honor to serve you.
12703 A Stafford Road. Stafford, Texas 77477
How do we behave?
The Work
Tree trimming, tree removal, tree fertilization, stump grinding and just about anything else dealing with trees; that's what we do. We are a tree service folks. Arborists, tree trimmers, chipper trucks, chains saws and clippers. The whole nine yards: Residential work, your HOA's trees, apartments complexes, office buildings, industrial sites and even pipeline Right of Ways. If you've got a tree that needs some service, we can do it.
The Story
Back in 2010 our founder, Grant Crowell, decided that it was time to launch into something truly adventurous! But for the support of a loving wife and a good friend, The Urban Foresters would certainly not be what it is today. We've managed to scrape together a great team that believes in each other and in what we stand for… and that's not nothing. Become part of the story yourself, and let us serve you and your property.
The Values
We all spend a lot of time at work. Even if your work isn't in a traditional office setting (moms who stay home,) you don't do anything more than you work. We believe that work should be good for you! At The Urban Foresters, the reason we come to work is the better ourselves and to love the people we work for. Charity | Fortitude | Humility. These are the values we live by during our ordinary work.
The Process
What's it like to work with us? Our sales team wants to understand your needs and meet those needs with love. That's just how our sales guys are trained. They want, they need to understand what our tree crews must deliver to make you happy. It really, truly, honestly is NOT about pitching services. We want to listen, have a conversation and see if we can help. If we can, that's awesome, if not, we'll part as friends.
Let's talk
Websites are great and all, but if you really want to get some tree service work done at your property, we need to talk to each other. Not us talking AT you, but us having a conversation. Help us understand your situation, your dos and don'ts, your budget, your WHY. We look forward to knowing you.

If the Star lead is leaving the organisation, or if they are no longer able to fulfil the role, then you will need to assign a new person to be the Star lead.
If you are the Star lead
If you are the Star lead you can handover the Star lead role yourself.
If the Star lead has left the organisation, or is unavailable
If your Star lead has left without handing over to somebody else, or is otherwise unavailable, follow these instructions to set up a new Star lead.

Do you agree that modern music ran out of ideas?
I think as far as originality, all the good music has already been made. I'm noticing that everyone is doing retro sounds now, taking sounds from the past and putting their own little twist to it.

Ford Has Really Stepped Up Its Game
By Craig on Friday, September 22, 2017Went from a 2008 Acadia SLT to a 2017 Ford Edge Titanium because we are empty nesters and didnt need the extra space anymore. We were going to test drive an Explorer but spotted the Edge on showroom floor while we waiting and fell in love with its spaciousness and comfort but without the bulk. Have had it two months now and can honestly say, I wont drive anything else ....ever. The 2.0 Eco Boost 4-banger has a ton of low end torque and very little turbo lag with excellent acceleration. Its quiet, smooth tranny, and is much more nimble in heavy traffic than its size would suggest. The interior fit and finish is very solid and is packed with quality materials with soft touch surfaces everywhere you reside - luxury on a budget. The new Sync 3 system is one of the easiest head units to operate on the market. Ford has a huge winner in the Edge - simple yet elegant without the import price tag. The Edge punches way above its weight class.

Very Happy with my 2017 Edge SEL
By Citysparky on Sunday, December 31, 2017Just purchased a fully loaded 2017 Ford Edge SEL from our local dealer and could not be happier. Just took it on a long road trip (1,800 miles) this last week to visit family and was very impressed with the power (2.0 Turbo) going through the hills. On certain streches of desert highway we were cruising around 95 MPH and the ride was great; very low road noise and still averaged 23.4 MPG on the trip. While the jury is still out on the long term reliability, I am very happy with my purchase to date.

10+ Rating on scale of 1-10 Excellent car
By RJ on Wednesday, February 07, 2018Previously had 2 Mercedes...... This car is by far the best all-round. Roomy, pleasant to drive, great gas mileage. Really pleased with this car and will buy another Edge Sel when the time comes I want a new car. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family.

Welcome to Greatest Hits. May you share our taste in music!
The website takes its name of the best selling album of all time in the UK by a little band called Queen… Incidentally, it is the best album of all time - as far as we are concerned.
This website aims to discover and promote current and new artists who showcase great talent, thus helping renew the current music scene. No bad buzz, only good vibes: this is what music is all about!
This website was created by GH Betbeze. The similitude in acronyms is obviously fortuitous.
It was preceded by an almost equally well titled Tumblr, for those who may want further reading before next class.

I think a successful artist is independent, special, selfish and real, and he can express his thoughts directly.
- Do you have some words to say to the Art circle?
Art should be a beam of light which can lighten the road of people development. Art should be a hand which can open our skulls and tell us we are omnipotence. Art is not only the skills of painting or sculpture. Art should be a thinking way, a wise view. We have done everything to create, to study ancient people, but the altitude of art still stay in the 19or 20century. We should introspect. The science and technology are progress while art is retrogress, we should be ashamed. Industrial 4.0 stage, how art of digital revolution age will be? We should think instead of just create.

Tangled is the latest Disney Princess-for-the-next-generation animated extravaganza, and the 50th animated feature from the studio. Unlike last year's The Princess and the Frog, where Disney stuck to its traditional hand-drawn animation and storytelling formula, Tangled takes all the familiar elements of the "princess movies" (think The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin) and combines them with Disney's application of new technology -- CGI and 3D. The end result is a film that may not be as iconic as some of its predecessors, but is definitely a throwback to an era when Disney was the behemoth of animation.
Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) was stolen from the palace nursery as an infant and raised by the dastardly Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy), who locks her up in an enchanted tower and uses Rapunzel's hair to continuously restore her youth. Rapunzel dreams of the day when she can leave the tower and find the source of the floating stars that she sees every year on her birthday -- with her adorable and consistently loyal chameleon companion in tow. Her chance comes one day when master thief Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi), seeking escape from a variety of pursuers, climbs the tower with the goal of finding a place to hide out and stash his stolen goods. Instead, he finds Rapunzel, who hides his prize and tells him that if he takes her to the source of the floating stars, she'll return his belongings. From there, it's one amazing adventure after another, with twists, turns, and a little romance.
There's nothing particularly innovative about Dan Fogelman's screenplay, but it has all the heart and humor that make this a fun movie to watch. Rapunzel is the well-known fairy-tale that serves as the foundation for a story that unfolds with all of the classic Disney elements intact: a young and somewhat naïve princess, a handsome rogue to guide her, a cute animal sidekick, a witchy villain, songs, and of course a happy ending. These fairy-tale elements extend to the visual aspects of the film, from the storybook aesthetics of the setting to the expertly crafted details of the character's faces.
Also, there's a certain retro vibe to Tangled. The choices for vocal casting harken back to the previous two decades, when Disney bypassed big-name stars in favor of lesser-known talent. Mandy Moore's voice (though, you can argue she's the biggest name in this film) is not immediately recognizable, which allows the audience to connect with Rapunzel as opposed to being distracted by a familiar voice. Even Zachary Levi's performance as Flynn Rider is charming, roguish, and, well, generic enough to represent the same feeling.
Overall, Tangled is a winner. Disney has managed to acknowledge where they've been and look toward where the company is going, and they've created a film that speaks to what adults remember from Disney's hand-drawn animation days, while at the same time injecting newer technologies to keep the kids dazzled and entertained. It's charming, enjoyable, and has a heavy dose of that ol' Disney magic.

Above and Beyond the Call of Duty
I recently hired Excel Carriers for my local move from Garfield,NJ to Fort Lee,NJ. I selected Excel Carriers from a list of about 5 different local movers which I had reserached online. I hired Excel Carriers based on their competitive price,BBB rating and positive internet presence. Regardless,I was still very uneasy because of all the horror stories I had read online about the moving industry in general. Excel Carriers proved to be an exception to the bad reputations that most moving companies have. On move day,the crew arrived on time and in a very energetic and mission-oriented state of mind. Their positive attitudes and energy was contagious. They completed the job according to my contract agreement and charged me what I expected to pay. Not a penny more. There was no damage to any of my furniture and the entire moving process was seamless. I was very happy and fully satisfied with the end result. I would definitely recommend Excel Carriers to anybody looking for a mover.

True Professionals
I registered online for my local move on a website called Billy.com. Once I submitted my moving details and personal information, my phone started ringing off the hook. It seemed that every moving company in the Tri-State area was now calling me and competing for my business. I found it sort of exciting at first, but soon it just got plain annoying. After speaking to 7 different moving companies I stopped answering my phone and decided to pick from one of companies I had spoken to already. The only problem I encountered was that all the sales reps told me the exact same things and they all sounded like they were reading a script from a cue or dummy card. The only sales rep that stood out was Anthony Jr. from Excel Carriers. He seemed honest and sincere and explained everything in detail from start to finish. Additionally, being a Gulf War veteran myself, I was impressed with the company's military background and staff. I proceeded to hire Excel Carriers for my move and was offered 4hrs of service for a total price of $450. On the day of my move, the three men that Anthony Jr. sent to my house to conduct the work totally blew me away. I was very sceptical and was expecting men off the streets but that was not the case. The men were true professionals! You can tell they were experienced and worked as a team to complete my job in less than 4hrs. They even prorated my charges and charged me 1/2hr less. I used the extra $50 as a well-deserved tip for the men. I must state that I made a wise decision in hiring Excel Carriers. My move was a complete success!

I had a great experience with this company. I've had to move a lot for work in the past. This is by far one of the best moving company I've used. I called for an estimate and they called me back very quickly. I had my consultation with Anthony who was very knowledgeable and courteous. He patiently answered all my questions and made me feel at ease from the beginning. The day of the move ..The movers arrived on time and began working right away. Those guys worked really hard and the whole time they had smiles on their faces. They wrapped my furniture and were careful with all of my stuff, and at the end of the move my family was surprised with a beautiful basket full of yummy treats inside. What a surprise!!! It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end!

Good but...
Leading up to the move, it was very good, very professional we had a deal in place of what was going to happen, a good estimate; I mean it was more expensive than I wanted to pay for some other people that were quoting me, but I thought he was very professional and we had a good understanding of the agreement. Come time of the move, the deal did not go as they said they would. The reason I went with them is that they told me I could pay with half credit card half cash, and the day of the move, that was not the case. So that kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. But the team they sent there were very good, very professional, very efficient, they did a great job, but other than that one experience, everything else was good.

Best Moving Company
Recently, I needed to set up a local move in the Madison area – made all the more difficult because I was trying to arrange such from another state and there was a family medical issue involved that made the situation very fluid and uncertain at times. Fortunately, I ended up speaking with Terry who guided me through the entire process. I quickly discovered that Terry was a real professional in his line of work as he patiently answered the multiple questions I had and inspired my confidence in him and his crew. Of equal importance to me was the fact Terry was "a really nice person" – that was meaningful and helpful because of the medical issue, which Terry was very understanding of and sensitive to. Despite the fact that I needed to change the day of the move a couple of times, Terry and his crew were very flexible in accommodating me even arranging for a move on a Sunday. To make a long story short, turns out the medical issue took a positive turn and we no longer needed the move at all. I called Terry, explained the situation and he was thrilled the medical issue had been resolved and "no worries" about having to cancel the move. He wished me well and welcomed me back any time. Can't say enough about this wonderful organization.

John Naisbitt predicted in his book Megatrends (1980) that high technology would bring the need for "high human touch." This prediction is reflected in today's information-intense world. Due to the rapid development of technology, the library profession faces an uncertain future. Library professionals must use insight to identify technology's potential to benefit the academic library's role in the twenty-first century. This paper focuses on the human-machine connection between academic librarians and Web mining technology with respect to electronic reference service. The connection is featured in processes of: (a) identifying problems of electronic reference service; (b) selecting a technology to solve the problem; and, (c) envisioning the potential of the selected technology for librarianship. Scenarios address pertinent questions, including: (a) What role should librarians play to facilitate implementation of a technology? and, (b) What opportunities do technology offer to the profession in return?
Human-Machine Connections
What are Data Mining and Web Mining?
Web Mining Technology as a Tool
The uncertainties of the Internet challenge the modern workplace but also promise unexpected opportunities. Converting uncertainties to opportunities requires human efforts to enhance the capabilities of technology to benefit professional endeavor. In the library profession, practices of unstructured and unrestricted information dissemination and retrieval from the World Wide Web (WWW) not only create an information explosion but make uncertain the future of the profession as well. Facing the need to adapt to the new climate of the information world, academic librarians are charged to extend their services from the reference desk to the virtual environment on the WWW. To meet the challenge, new information technologies that can assist in organizing and retrieving information are constantly being investigated by academic libraries. Web mining is one of these new technologies that deserves special attention because of its capability to discover and analyze useful information from the Web.
This paper focuses on human-machine connections between academic librarians and Web mining technology. Scenarios, used as brainstorming tools, explore ways of converting the uncertainty of changing user habits and the Web information explosion to opportunities for advancing academic library services. The improvement of electronic reference services, from the reference desk to cyberspace, will strongly support the ongoing research interests of the institution. A well designed process for human-machine connection becomes vitally important. The speculative process is divided into three steps: First, identify electronic reference service problems with the WWW that need to be addressed; second, select a technology that has the potential to address these problems; and third, envision what values can be added to products of the selected technology to transfer intellectual interactions from the physical environment to a virtual one, supporting academic libraries' mission of nurturing those interactions.
Human-Machine Connections
Effective human-machine connections will enable librarians to fully utilize technology's capacity to transfer traditional reference skills from the desk in the library to the electronic realm of cyberspace. The success of this connection depends on three factors: First, library professionals need to identify what problems exist in electronic referencing; second, they must identify one or more technologies to solve these problems; and finally, the librarians need to be able to add value to the products of this technology to further their mission as information managers.
Let's identify some of the problems in conducting reference services on the Web.
In academia, students, researchers and faculty members are communicating their own information to the Web at the same time they are turning to the Internet to seek information. Academic libraries have to deal with this new habit of data exchange while they are also facing an information explosion on the WWW. In addition, the costs of new information technologies, shrinking resources and fast-changing student demographics all have an impact on the services provided by academic libraries. These libraries are challenged to account for delivery of efficient and direct customer-oriented services to both on- and off-campus clientele throughout their service areas. Meanwhile, the libraries are also pressured by the necessity to provide service 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so that their users can access information any time and anywhere. Along with unlimited access, it should also be a priority to ensure the quality of information, confirming that the information is relevant and from authoritative sources, therefore making it suitable for research purposes.
The Web is recognized as a system that provides opportunities for publishing and disseminating information globally. However, the WWW's unstructured environment creates an information overload and places obstacles in the way of users' access to relevant information. In addition, the existing search engines can only retrieve one-third of the "indexable Web" [1] and do not evaluate the content of the information retrieved. To successfully remove obstacles to accessing relevant information, academic librarians' skills of information management are very necessary in facilitating the retrieval process for end users. However, the unstructured information environment of Web requires librarians to upgrade their resources to include new Web-based information management technologies. The inclusion of these new technologies requires new considerations in operational procedures since the WWW is a global environment. A first consideration must be what role librarians can play to enhance implementation of a technology capable of managing and delivering more relevant information from the Web. Secondly, what values can librarians add to the technology so that it becomes a tool for nurturing quality intellectual interactions in a cyberspace environment?
Selecting a Technology to Solve the Problem
"The World Wide Web (WWW) is one of the many types of intelligence that requires human mastery due to its decentralized information arrays and the immense variety of materials available " [2]. These decentralized information arrays allow anyone to disseminate and retrieve information anywhere and any time. In order to make this connection, librarians need to choose a tool that can effectively organize and retrieve information on the WWW. Web mining technology appears to be an excellent tool to perform these functions.
What are Data Mining and Web Mining?
Data mining is one of the hottest topics in information technology. It automatically and exhaustively explores very large datasets, consequently uncovering otherwise hidden relationships among data [3]. This technology has been successfully applied in science, health, marketing and finance [4] to aid new discoveries and strengthen markets. In addition, data mining techniques are being applied to discover and organize information from the Web [5]. Data mining itself is in the second generation of artificial intelligence; the core concept of data mining is focused on machine learning [6]. This machine-learning ability allows modification of search criteria automatically before the next execution, once particular patterns or trends have been discovered in the data searched [7]. It is important to understand that data mining is a discovery-oriented data analysis technology and not a single product or a system. It is a highly focused data transformation framework [8].
This transformation process uses a series of analytical techniques, such as clustering, association and classification [9]. These techniques are taken from the field of mathematics, cybernetics and genetics, and can be used independently or cooperatively. The function is to extract high quality information to identify facts and draw conclusions based on relationships or patterns among the data [10]. Most important, data mining can ask a processing engine to "show answers to questions we do not know how to ask" [11]. For example, bank customers' data are kept in different databases, thus, they are isolated from each other. Data mining technology can search all the different databases together, and provide a better customer view so that the bank can concentrate more on potentially good customers [12]. The rationale is that when asking for specific relationships, more important relationships might be missed. Asking to find relationships that we do not know exist will yield more meaningful data or business knowledge [13].
The combination of these two areas, data mining and the WWW, is known as Web mining. When data mining is applied to the Web, it can perform several functions including:
- Resource discovery
the discovery of locations of unfamiliar files on the network;
- Information extraction
the acquisition of useful information from the WWW; and,
- Generalization
the discovery of information patterns from said resources [14].
There are two primary dimensions of Web mining: Web content mining and Web usage mining.
Web Content Mining
Web content mining is the "process of information or resource discovery from millions of sources across the World Wide Web " [15]. There are two approaches in Web content mining: the agent-based and database approaches.
The agent-based approach involves artificial intelligence systems that can "act autonomously or semi-autonomously on behalf of a particular user, to discover and organize Web-based information " [16]. Some intelligent Web agents can use a user profile to search for relevant information, then organize and interpret the discovered information (e.g., Harvest). Some use various information retrieval techniques and the characteristics of open hypertext documents to organize and filter retrieved information (e.g., HyPursuit). Another kind of agent is programmed to learn user preferences and use those preferences to discover information sources for those particular users (e.g. XpertRuleR Miner) [17].
The database approach focuses on "integrating and organizing the heterogeneous and semi-structured data on the Web into more structured and high-level collections of resources." These organized resources can then be accessed and analyzed [18]. These "metadata, or generalizations, are then organized into structured collections (e.g., relational or object-oriented databases) and can be analyzed" [19].
Web Usage Mining
The other dimension of data mining is Web usage mining. This is the process of discovering user access patterns (or user habits), as data are automatically collected in daily access logs. Recently, referrer logs, which collect information about referring pages for each reference and user registration, also have been included. Web usage mining is crucial in establishing user profiles for a better structured Web site. "As the manner in which the Web is used continues to expand, there is a continual need to figure out new kinds of knowledge about user behavior that needs to be mined for" [20].
Mining Techniques
The common techniques for Web mining are: clustering/classification, association rules, path analysis, and sequential patterns.
A means to develop profiles of items with similar characteristics. This ability enhances the discovery of relationships that are otherwise not obvious. For example, classification of Web access logs allows a company to discover the average age of customers who order a certain product. This information can be valuable when developing advertising strategies [21].
Association rules
Rules that govern "databases of transactions where each transaction consists of a set of items." This technique is used to predict the correlation of items "where the presence of one set of items in a transaction implies (with a certain degree of confidence) the presence of other items." For example, prediction of the percentage of clients assessing a particular URL who will place online orders for a certain product [22].
Path analysis
A technique that involves the generation of some form of graph that "represents relation[s] defined on Web pages." This can be the physical layout of a Web site in which the Web pages are nodes and the hypertext links between these pages are directed edges. Most graphs are involved in determining frequent traversal patterns or large reference sequences from physical layout, such as the most frequently visited paths in a Web site. For example, what paths do users travel before they go to a particular URL? [23].
Sequential patterns
Applied to Web access server transaction logs. The purpose is to discover sequential patterns that indicate user visit patterns over a certain period. For example, "30% of clients who visited /company/products/, had done a search in Yahoo within the past week on keyword W" [24].
Web Mining Technology as a Tool
Web mining can be a promising tool to address ineffective search engines, that produce incomplete indexing, retrieval of irrelevant information or unverified reliability of retrieved information. It is essential to have a system that helps the user find relevant and reliable information easily and quickly on the Web. Web mining discovers information from mounds of data on the WWW, but it also monitors and predicts user visit habits. This gives designers more reliable information in structuring and designing a Web site. Web mining technology can help librarians design Web sites with paths that can be traveled easily by end users, saving time and effort. Scenarios in this paper are used to envision what this technology could do for library reference services. These scenarios are designed to brainstorm new operational considerations - if Web mining technology is chosen as a tool to organize information from the Internet.
Scenario A
A group of librarians applies Web mining technology to discover information from the WWW that is pertinent to different research interests currently sustained in different disciplines in their academic institution. This technology discovers information automatically and clusters it in groups, according to subject area (e.g., subject-specific), allowing easy access.
The librarians ensure that this information is from authoritative sources and of research quality by building sets of attributes (or profiles) for different subject areas. These attributes facilitate the process of clustering and present information in logical groups for systematic retrieval.
As a result, the librarians spend very little time maintaining this database because Web mining technology can discover and organize information automatically without human intervention. The end users are satisfied because they can find anything they want in a very short time without having to screen thousands of documents. Most importantly, they can access information any time and from anywhere in the world. It is actually a virtual operation in which librarians transfer their reference skills from the desk to the Internet.
Ideal situations resembling the scenario mentioned above are rarely the case. If the above scenario were real, no human-machine connection would be needed. According to this scenario, the machine is doing all the work and making all the necessary decisions (e.g., what sources to use). Unfortunately, no matter how sophisticated the system is, the unexpected always presents itself. Complications can be manifold. The second scenario suggests two considerations that librarians need to address in order to deal with unforeseen problems in the future.
These two considerations are:
- What role should librarians play to facilitate smoother operations so that library patrons can access relevant and reliable information quickly?
- What possibilities do librarians see that this technology can be applied to enhance their professional endeavors?
Scenario B
An academic library decides to incorporate Web mining technology into its reference services (e.g., mining data from the WWW and using the data to build subject-specific databases) to help patrons access library reference services any time and anywhere. An implementation committee, made up of reference and cataloging librarians as well as members of the computer staff, is charged with completing the task.
This committee realizes that all efforts have to be concentrated on facilitating machine intelligence, thereby achieving the full potential of the technology, especially in processing reference transactions. The experience of the librarians and their commitment to public service is essential in applying Web mining technology to enhance reference services. To fulfill this commitment, however, librarians need to be willing to participate from the start in the implementation process. This does not imply that librarians have to become computer gurus, but that effective communication and coordination throughout the process will result in full participation of all concerned, including contributions from members according to individual expertise.
The committee decides to tackle this task by considering two points:
Point A:
What should librarians do to facilitate smooth operations so that library patrons can access relevant and reliable information quickly?
To tackle this consideration, the committee sets up brainstorming sessions aimed at identifying important steps necessary to set up an operation in which information retrieved is relevant and reliable. As a result, six steps are drafted. They are:
Step 1: Establish guidelines specifying the scope for different subject databases with the help of reference librarians in their own subject areas.
This guideline would not be unlike the collection policy for each subject area. Web sites would be emphasized that are in line with the research interests of the institution.
Step 2: Investigate end-users' characteristics such as demographics, geographic locations, research objectives and search habits.
Step 3: Investigate the network capability, possibility for scaling, and compatibility of hardware platforms between the institution and its end users.
Step 4: Investigate data mining software in the market including characteristics, capability, price, continuing improvement (new versions) and practicality. Most important, the committee should compile an inventory of software that exists in the institution, exploring the effectiveness and the integration possibilities of targeted data mining software with existing software, so ultimately all would function beneficially.
Step 5: Set up a training plan for patrons as well as library staff.
Step 6: Set up a device for user feedback and communication between content producers and end users.
Point B:
What possibilities do librarians see that this technology can enhance their professional endeavors?
Many ideas to add value to Internet resources are well documented. Suggestions - such as providing "packaged" answers, search assistance, and critical evaluation of relevant resources [25] - are common. Besides these ideas, the committee wants to add one more benefit to this database, which is to support and nurture an intellectual cyber-exchange environment.
For years, groups of prestigious scholars have shared preprints and findings in conferences to advance their research interests. Many professionals have benefitted from that sharing. Traditionally, however, libraries do not participate in such circles except for subscribing to publications generated by professional societies and conference proceedings.
As technology grows and changes, the circle of invisible colleges broadens. Currently, many learning circles [26] are being generated in cyberspace and are extending their membership beyond established scholarly groups.
The committee sees that intellectual exchange activities are not that different from those taking place within the physical environment of the library. It sees the opportunity for starting new invisible colleges in cyberspace. Members think it may be a good time for the library to participate in an invisible college and to become more involved in the processes involved in generating information. Therefore, it agrees to provide a mechanism to facilitate communication between content producers (researchers) and end users (who may be researchers themselves). The idea is to let scholars (or interested parties) establish contacts of their own, so that people with similar interests can share experiences, ideas, failures and successes. To facilitate communication, Web-based conference software (e.g. Forum ) is integrated into each subject gateway. Content producers and users can communicate directly, either in a group setting or individually (ensuring privacy). Information shared can be posted to the database for public consumption or be protected for access by members' only.
Formal or informal publications produced can be included in the database, which will strengthen the gateway itself by providing sought-after information. The committee also anticipates that keeping statistics on subject keywords for each subject gateway may require the review of research requirements. For example, the subject of wolf communication may show many requests are made to the animal science gateway. This may suggest that demand for information on this topic exists. Researchers can then compare this information to their own research interests. Some may find this a welcome new research direction and start to look at this area.
The committee uses Web mining technology to build a database that facilitates dynamic research activities. More important, the library is finally a part of the invisible college, allowing it to take on a new role in the changing information age on campus.
This paper describes the use of Web mining as a example of the importance of human-machine connections. These connections will help transfer librarians' traditional information skills from the reference desk to cyberspace - a critical component of successful information retrieval. It has been asserted that "many information-gathering tasks are better handled by finding a referral to a human expert rather than by simply interacting with online information sources"e; [27]. If this statement is true, how will academic libraries function in this new digital information age?
Traditionally, the library has been a physical facility for intellectual activities. The profession has long been the advocate for intellectual freedom; in addition, the library also has provided a space for both academic and social interactions. Young students may unknowingly study with or encounter their future mates, colleagues or critics in the library. As technology changes, some of these meetings will be taking place in cyberspace. It is interesting to envision how libraries will facilitate these kinds of cyber-meetings and intellectual exchanges in the future. In Scenario B, digital invisible colleges would evolve in libraries with important contributions by librarians. When databases are established by Web mining technology, all of the research interests of an institution will easily be accessible on the Web to all sorts of audiences. Anyone with the same research interests will be able to contact the content producer for each Web component for further details or to ask additional questions. Such contact is easily available with conference software that could be part of certain databases.
Libraries are instrumental in the formation of invisible colleges generated in part by subject-specific Web mining databases. However, libraries do not participate in the creation of these invisible colleges because librarians generally do not actually create new information. It is anticipated that these invisible colleges will take on a life of their own and contact between interested parties may grow or shrink. It is not unlike watching cellular activity under the microscope. Live cells aggregate and form clusters for a time, then some of them may break off and form new clusters with other cells.
There are many forms of invisible colleges taking place around the world due to the advancement of information technology. For example, one invisible college at Portland State University, in Oregon, is designed to explore teaching and learning through community service by forming learning circles. These learning circles allow participants to learn from other practitioners and innovators in the field. The membership of this invisible college is no longer confined to a prestigious group of academicians. It has been opened to include members outside academia as well. The goal of such inclusiveness is an attempt to connect community service with academic study so that connection "heightens the relevance of academic subjects by directly linking classroom learning to community experience" [28]. Galegher, Kraut and Edigo, in their book Intellectual Teamwork: Social and Technological Bases for Cooperative Work, demonstrate that an informal network of collaborators, colleagues, and friends is one of the most effective channels for information dissemination [29].
Clearly no one technology is at the center of the debate. Instead, it is crucial to identify problems and the opportunities offered by technology. Human-machine connections are vital in helping library professionals empower patrons as the new century approaches. These connections also will be an advantage in facing the challenges of fast-paced development in information technology. John Naisbitt predicted that "whenever new technology is introduced into society, there must be a counterbalancing human response" [30]. The human-machine connections proposed in this paper echo Naisbitt's idea that as society becomes more oriented toward high technology, more of the "human touch" will be needed. Human touch in this paper is represented by academic librarians using technology to support their fundamental mission of nurturing intellectual interactions, while transferring those interactions from a physical environment to a virtual one.

China investigates alleged kindergarten abuses, teacher suspended
HANGZHOU - Police in an east China city are investigating allegations that a kindergarten teacher beat, slapped, and humiliated young children in class, local officials said Friday.
The alleged abuse was exposed by a parent who suspected his child was mistreated at school. The parent put a voice recorder in his child's bag. In the 10-minute recording, a female adult can be heard shouting, followed by what sounds like beating and the cries of children.
The recording was uploaded to a local online forum Thursday and prompted comments from other parents whose children also attend the privately run kindergarten in Rui'an city, Zhejiang Province.
They alleged their children, aged 2 and 3, were locked in toilets, pricked by needles, forced to eat snot, slapped and verbally abused, according to the comments.
Officials with local education authority said Friday that the teacher in question had been suspended and the school has submitted video footage from its campus surveillance cameras for investigation.
The officials pledged to disclose the findings as soon as possible.

A stye is a small, painful lump that forms outside, on, or around the eyelid and although they only last one or two weeks they can be a bit painful as you wait for them to heal.
Our eyelids - particularly around the eyelashes - have lots of little oil gland, and sometimes these can become blocked by dirt, oil or dead skin.
It is this blockage that causes a stye as bacteria forms, just as spots and black heads are caused by our skin glands getting clogged.
They can be slightly painful and are generally an inconvenience.
Thankfully there are many ways you can treat a stye, and hasten it's departure.
What are the symptoms of a stye?
As explained above, a stye is an oil gland on the eyelid that gets blocked by dirt, dead skin or oil.
When you get on your eyelid may feel tender and sensitive and there will be redness.
Other symptoms include:
- Your eye making more tears
- Crust on the eyelid
- A red bump with pus
- Itchy around the eye
- Extra sensitivity to lights
- Feeling that there is something in your eye
How can I treat a stye?
Although getting a stye can be a real annoyance, there are many ways to treat it yourself.
Don't panic.
1. Use a warm compress
This is one of the most effective ways to deal with a stye as the warmth brings the pus to the surface, and dissolves the oil and pus, allowing the stye to drain naturally.
The NHS recommends that you soak a clean flannel in warm and hold it against your eye for five to ten minutes, repeating this three or four times a day.
It is important that you don't try to puncture the stye, or squeeze it too hard - just having the warm flannel on your eye will work.
2. Clean your eyelid with soap and water
Mix water with mild soap (a tear-free baby shampoo is a good idea) and then use a cotton swab or washcloth to wipe off your eyelids with the mixture. You can do this daily until the stye is gone.
Cleaning your eyelids regularly will prevent future styes.
3. Use a warm tea bag
Instead of the a cloth you can also use a warm tea bag - black tea has antibacterial properties so is the best.
Just leave your tea bag in boiling water for a couple of minutes, allow it to cool down enough so that you can place it on your eye, and leave it there for five to ten minutes.
4. Avoid makeup and contact lenses
Makeup delays the healing process and irritates your eye, plus you run the risk of spreading the infection to your other eye.
The same principle occurs with contact lenses, and it is advisable to wear your glasses so that bacteria from the stye doesn't get onto the contacts and spread.
5. Take painkillers
The NHS recommends taking paracetamol or ibuprofen but stress that you shouldn't give aspirin to someone under the age of 16.
6. Encourage drainage by massaging the area
Using clean hands, this can help the stye drain but you mustn't do it if it hurts.
Don't touch your eyes and keep the area clean once it drains.
7. Use antibiotic ointments
This can be bought from your local chemist and you merely apply them inside the eyelid of the affected eye.
Make sure that the product can be used on your eye and avoid topical steroids which can have negative consequences.
When to see your doctor
The NHS advises that you see your GP if any of the following conditions are present:
- It is affecting your vision
- It doesn't get better within a few weeks
- It is painful and swollen
What would my GP do?
If it gets to the point that you need to see your GP the NHS says they will:
- Burst it with a sterilised needle
- Refer you to an eye specialist
- Remove the eyelash closest to the stye
How can I stop a stye forming in the first place?
It is possible to stop styes from ever developing at all and you should:
- Keep your eyes and eyelashes clean
- Remove make-up before bed
- Wash your face before bed
- Replace your eye makeup regularly
You should also avoid the following things:
- Putting contact lenses in with unclean hands
- Sharing flannels and towels with someone with a stye
- Rubbing your eyes with unclean hands
