Why is it that tickets at this year's Garden Party are flying out faster than ever before?
Could it be because of the weather?
Or maybe word's got out about the setting?
Or the line-up?
Or the all-round strength of the festival as a cosy, relaxed and friendly way to experience a summer weekend?
Anyway, maybe if you're reading this you've already bought your tickets, but if not, there are a few left.
If you fancy arriving early and getting the best pitch for your tent, come to the intimate pre-festival gathering tonight, incuding BBQ and top quality acoustic music, for just £10 extra (pay at the gate).
Otherwise, see you tomorrow.

It's an outbreak that the FDA has not been able to get a handle on and it's left more than 3,500 dogs sick, and another 600 dead since 2007. The FDA sent letters out on Wednesday all across the U.S. to vet clinics asking for their help figuring out what the illness is. Right now authorities are blaming jerky pet treats likely from China for the sickness. Valley News team's Eric Crest talked with a local all natural pet store owner to get some insight on what to avoid.
Different breeds. different sizes, but the ones that got a mysterious bug all have the same dog-on problem. Decreased appetite, activity, their throwing up, and it has something to do with jerky pet treats from China.
"Until the recent story hit it's been awhile since we've had customers ask about it. But I would say even a few months ago, a year ago, it was pretty big. We had a lot of customers who had sick dogs and were looking for an alternative to the chicken treats," says Michelle Smith, the owner of the Natural Pet Center which sells natural pet products in Fargo.
At the Natural Pet Center you'll find a variety of treats for your pets. But you won't find any with those extra ingredients concerned mom's often worry about.
"Certainly any chemical preservatives, any coloring additives of that nature, are always good to stay away from," adds Smith.
It's all of those additives that got Alycia Flannigan worrying about her pets too. So she opened the Furry Feet Bakery for some local options of dog treats.
"We were looking at treats one day and realized there's a lot of stuff in the treats that we didn't know what it was, and we thought we should make them," says Flannigan. Since starting her business Flannigan says it's nice to have a local option, minus all the ingredients that we as humans often enjoy.
Her product contains all natural ingredients, and the best part, you don't have to wonder where it's from. Which is precisely what the owner over at the Natural Pet Center says is the number one thing to look for in this current crisis that the FDA can't seem to get a handle on.
"I guess the main difference from the products that we carry versus the products that are having issues is that our products are products of the USA," says Smith.
So for now the words "product of the USA" will give you some temporary peace, when buying your pet food.
Some of the name brands to avoid are likely discounted at box stores. They include Waggin Train, Canyon Creek Ranch Treats and Milo's Kitchen Chicken Jerky. On another note, just because it's organic doesn't mean it's safe from an outbreak. The FDA doesn't even know what's causing the illness for sure at this point.
If you want to check out the newest local all natural dog treats in the Fargo Moorhead area send the Furry Feet Bakery an email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Rubrics or assessments for students working in SOLE
I was wondering if anyone out there had ideas for assessing this student work. Even though, students will be learning a great deal, I still need to show some kind progress that students are making in my class room through grades. Any ideas on rubrics, assessments, how to grade presentations, etc would be much appreciated!
Topics: SOLE
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 18 2013: The students are in 6th grade, but I may also try with my 7th and 8th graders. I have a rubric that I have created for another assignment that I have adapted to try wih the SOLE project, which includes tasks like, "presentation is easy to read and legible" and "presentation has no technical problems or issues". I have made it 45 points total for the final project, but have created some check points along the way, such as notes and observation of student roles and so forth. Thank you for responding!
Apr 18 2013: As you are a teacher, you know there are lots of resources online for formative and summative assessment of group projects and presentations. What proportion of your assessment will be related to what students learned and seem to have understood about the subject/question they have researched?

Classic Openers: 2002/03
We look back to a Goodison curtain raiser in 2002.

Following Wednesday's announcement of the 2013/14 Barclays Premier League fixtures, evertonfc.com looks back at another memorable opening day encounter...
Everton 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur - 17 August 2002
The stage was set for a memorable day at Goodison Park with Everton kicking off the campaign by celebrating 100 years of top-flight football.
A significant sub-plot was a debut for the precocious 16-year-old Wayne Rooney. David Moyes' decision to start the youngster looked as if it had paid off as he set up Mark Pembridge for the opening goal on 37 minutes.
Tottenham then turned the game on its head after the break as Matt Etherington fired high into the net before Blues debutant Richard Wright failed to keep Les Ferdinand's effort out.
But Tomasz Radzinski came to Everton's rescue with the clock ticking down as he fired in a low drive from inside the area.
Watch the highlights above now*.

WKU Health Services seeks new director, accreditation
|Author: Terri Cunningham
Date: Friday, February 18th, 2011
|Return to Archive
Posted: Friday, February 18, 2011 3:30 am | Updated: 5:57 pm, Thu Feb 17, 2011.
Over the last 10 years, Health Services has increased the size of its staff and nearly the doubled the number of patients it sees.
Now the department is faced with finding a new director as it seeks accreditation.
Ann Mead, vice president for Finance and Administration, said WKU is accepting applications through February and hopes to have the position filled by some time in April. Joe Harbaugh, captain of professional standards for campus police, is leading the search committee.
Sutter said at that time, Health Services offered only one doctor and a part-time nurse practitioner.
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Kim Phillips and Family Medicine Provider Michael Stephens are the latest additions to the staff.
Throughout the last 10 years, Health Services has seen a great increase in patients.
"We've seen an increase in faculty and staff, as well as student visits over the last several years," Sutter said.
This in part is associated with the opening of the new medical facility in January 2008, she said."The facility was huge when we opened," Sutter said. "That helped business and put us in a more professional realm."
Health Services is midway through the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care accreditation process, Mead said.
Health Services is in the middle of the three-year process, which started in 2009 and is expected to be complete by 2012, Mead said.
During the first half of the process, Health Services personnel analyzed current performance, Sutter said.The second half will be dedicated to meeting each of the core standards of the AAAHC, Sutter said.
By December, Health Services hopes to be compliant to all eight standards, including rights of patients, government, administration, quality of care, quality management and improvement, clinical records and health info, infection prevention and control and safety, facilities and environment, Mead said.
"When that hits, we're going to have a big party," Mead said.

Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP) -- National Focal Points
Terms of Reference for the STRP National Focal Points
1. The Ramsar Administrative Authority for the Contracting Party is responsible for ensuring:
i) the appointment of that Party's STRP National Focal Point (NFP);
ii) that the STRP NFP is appropriately qualified for this role as defined in this Terms of Reference, and that the Secretariat and STRP are provided with information on this in line with the STRP NFP expertise, skills and capacity profile provided in this Terms of Reference;
iii) that the STRP NFP has contact with national experts relevant to the work areas of the Panel;
iv) that the STRP NFP is involved in relevant Ramsar processes within the Contracting Party (including participating in any National Ramsar or Wetland Committee); and
v) that the contact information for the STRP NFP is notified to the STRP through the Ramsar Secretariat, and that it is kept up-to-date and functional.
2. The main function of the STRP NFP in each country is to provide input and support to the implementation of the Work Plan of the STRP, as approved by the first full meeting of the Standing Committee that follows each COP.
3. An STRP NFP is a person appointed to the role in his or her own right for their scientific and technical expertise in wetland conservation and wise use issues, and he or she does not act to represent any organization or government in the work of the STRP.
4. In order to undertake their work, the STRP NFPs should maintain regular contact and communication with the other Ramsar NFPs (Administrative Authority and the CEPA Focal Points) in their country and, as much as possible, with other STRP NFPs in the region.
5. The STRP NFP should, to the extent possible, consult with and seek input from other experts, expert bodies and wetland centres in his/her country. In this regard, the NFP should mobilize local capacity at the country level, e.g., through the establishment of a Ramsar/wetland scientific and technical committee.
6. The STRP NFPs can identify and recommend other people in their countries who have the specialist expertise and experience to participate in a thematic work area of the STRP. Additionally, the NFPs are encouraged to provide information to the STRP on local or national initiatives that are relevant to the STRP's work.
7. The NFPs are encouraged to use the opportunities of suitable national meetings, newsletters, e-mail, etc., to canvas the views of the expert community and, when feasible, to organize expert consultations on key issues in the STRP Work Plan. The latter should be done in coordination with the appropriate regional networking member of the STRP or relevant thematic Working Group Lead.
8. STRP NFPs in each country are expected to maintain regular contact, and endeavour to identify and undertake activities of common interest, with their equivalent National Focal Points of the technical and scientific bodies of other relevant international and regional environment-related Conventions, and especially for those with which the Ramsar Convention has in place a Memorandum of Cooperation or Understanding, namely, the Conventions on Biological Diversity, Desertification, Migratory Species, and World Heritage.
9. The STRP NFPs are also expected to be involved in the monitoring and evaluation of projects funded under the Ramsar Small Grants Fund for Wetland Conservation and Wise Use (SGF), as may be required by the Ramsar Administrative Authority in each country and/or the agency implementing the project.
10. The National Focal Points should take an active role in supporting national wetland inventory activities and in supporting the efforts of their Contracting Parties to implement the Strategic Framework and guidelines for the future development of the List of Wetlands of International Importance.
11. The STRP NFPs should provide advice to, and participate in, meetings of the National Wetland/Ramsar Committee or similar bodies (e.g., National Biodiversity Committees) where they exist, and provide advice in the preparation of National Reports to Conferences of Contracting Parties. They should also assist in disseminating information on the work of the STRP, interpreted as appropriate to the national context, to relevant individuals and bodies in their countries.
12. The input of the STRP NFPs should be channeled, by preference, through the STRP member leading each thematic area of the Work Plan or through the appropriate regional networking member of the STRP. When this is not practical, the input of the NFP may also be channeled through the appropriate Senior Regional Advisor within the Ramsar Secretariat.
13. In general, the STRP network of NFPs will operate through correspondence and as much as possible through e-mail and the Web-based STRP Support Service. To this effect, the Ramsar Secretariat will include the NFPs with access to e-mail connections to any list-server devoted to STRP members. In addition, the Secretariat has created a dedicated section of the STRP Support Service Web site for the presentation and consideration of STRP matters.
14. As, due to financial limitations, the main working language of the STRP and its network of NFPs is English, the NFP is required to be suitably proficient in the English language, especially written English.
15. STRP NFPs will provide the STRP and Ramsar Secretariat with information concerning their thematic areas of wetland conservation and wise use interest and expertise (though a short questionnaire) and the STRP Working Groups in which they wish directly to participate;
16. STRP NFPs are provided with full access to the Web-based STRP Support Service mechanism so that they may have input to all stages of the Panel's work, including the development of the scope of delivery of each priority task, the review of draft materials as they are prepared by the Working Groups and task forces, and contribution to the peer review of reports and other documents being considered for publication in the Ramsar Technical Report series.
An expertise, skills and capacity profile for STRP NFPs
17. For consideration for appointment by their Contracting Party Administrative Authority, an STRP NFP should have:
i) a good understanding of national/regional issues and priorities concerning water and wetlands;
ii) a demonstrated capacity for networking with wetland conservation and wise use experts at local and national scales (and international scale if appropriate), demonstrated engagement in such networks, and ability to facilitate consensus among people with different backgrounds (e.g., scientists, government and NGO sector);
iii) widely recognized experience and expertise within his or her country in one or more aspects of wetland conservation and wise use, particularly those relevant to the priority work areas and tasks identified by the COP for the forthcoming work of the STRP;
iv) experience of working with wetland experts at local to national levels, and facilitating discussions and coordinating and consolidating review responses on science-based documents;
v) full access to electronic mail and Web-based information and communication systems, through which the intersessional work of the STRP will take place;
vi) full fluency in understanding, and fluency in reading and writing, English (which remains the working language of the STRP); and
vii) full commitment and the time necessary to undertake the work required of the STRP NFP, and with the support, where relevant, of the NFP's organization or institution.
18. When a Contracting Party appoints a new STRP NFP, or reaffirms the appointment of an existing STRP NFP, the Party should provide to the Secretariat information on the expertise, skills and capacity of their STRP NFP in relation to the criteria listed in paragraph 17 above.

Springfield Local Schools received an honor from the state auditor's office.
Administrators are thrilled to receive a perfect audit. Their treasurer has been here for two years and believes this is the first time the school has received the Auditor of State award.
On Tuesday, Springfield Local Schools was the recipient of State Auditor Dave Yost's Auditor of State award. His office is responsible for auditing all public entities in the state. The goal is to protect taxpayers money.
Treasurer Ryan Lockwood says this honor proves they are being fiscally prudent with taxpayer dollars.
"Our efforts here are to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars, and in this time that, you know, governments are taking a hit for having less money, and some governments having to go back out there and ask for money, you know, I think this award helps to showcase how well some government entities are truly doing," said Lockwood.
Superintendent Kathryn Hott says the perfect audit is just one of the many good things happening in the Springfield School District.
"We are just riding a wave of good things, lots of good things for our kids. Our kids are doing phenomenal things. We're just - it's just a really exciting time in Springfield schools and we'll continue to share the good news as it comes. But, everyday we've been getting good news, and we're really proud of it. It's a reflection of the great job that my staff and our kids do, and the support of our community for Springfield schools," said Hott.
Not only has Springfield received a perfect audit, they are excelling academically, having been rated excellent or excellent with distinction for the last four years.

Keith has travelled the length of the country, and then some, to pull together the shots for Climbing:2011, his seventh rock climbing calendar. Headlining on the front cover is Liam Lonsdale, the UKC 'Be in My Calendar' Competition winner, on the unique Dreaming of Red Rocks at St Bees up in the Lakes. Check-out those blue skies; who said the sun never shines in the Lakes!
Further action from the Pennines comes from the uber bouldering venue that is Stanage Plantation, trad. limestone on Windy Ledge on Stoney Middleton, bolt-clipping at the Chee Dale Cornice and some overhanging madness at the pumpfest that is Craig y Longridge. Farther afield, there's trad. and DWS action from Pembroke and some 'off the beaten track' sport climbing at Dinas Rock in South Wales. Finally, there's some seriously traditional trad. climbing on Hoy, Orkney.
Overseas bouldering and sport climbing action comes from Franchard Isatis (Fontainebleau, France), Genat (Pyrenees, France), El Triangulo (El Chorro, Spain) and finally Acephale, (Rockies, Canada).
Included within Climbing:2011 is the 2011 Year Planner and Poster. Printed back-to-back, you can choose between the 2011 Year Planner which features Neil Gresham on Wet-T Shirt Contest (F7a+/S1) at Broadhaven Cove, Pembroke or else go with the poster which features Steve McClure riding the Ghost Train (E6/7 6b) in Stennis Ford, Pembroke. Tony Whitehouse of BetaClimbingDesigns was shocked at the Poster shot of Steve – "bloody hell, that's a wicked photo; a great shot and look at the amazing detail..."

A Texas congressman has identified the suspect in the shooting at Fort Hood as Ivan Lopez. U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said Wednesday's shooting happened at a medical center at the base. Additional details about the suspect weren't immediately available. U.S. law enforcement officials say four people, including the shooter, were killed when a gunman opened fire Wednesday at Fort Hood. One of the officials, citing official internal U.S. Justice Department updates, said 14 others were hurt. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release information by name. The Texas Army base was the scene of a mass shooting in 2009.
Meanwhile, President Obama says the government will get to the bottom of what happened in a shooting incident at Fort Hood. Obama says he's following the situation closely but that the situation is fluid at the Texas Army post. He says officials are doing everything they can to make sure everyone is secure. Obama says the incident brings back painful memories of the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood. He says, quote, "We're heartbroken that something like this might've happened again." Obama says people at Ford Hood have sacrificed so much for freedom and their sense of safety has been broken once again. (AP)
Statement from Secretary of Defense Hagel on Fort Hood
Today's shooting was a terrible tragedy for the Fort Hood community, the Department of Defense, and for the nation. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. And my sympathies go out to this strong and resilient community, which has experienced this kind of senseless violence all too recently.There is nothing more important to us as an institution than the safety and well-being of our people, and for that reason I am grateful to all the first responders who rushed to the scene. We will closely monitor the situation at Fort Hood and stay informed by what investigators and law enforcement personnel learn about the shooting.

GALLATIN, Tenn. (AP) - Sumner County voters have rejected a wheel tax increase, following a two-week delay in schools opening over funding issues.
The referendum to raise the wheel tax by $25 per year failed Tuesday by more than 60%. The increase was projected to bring in nearly $3 million.
Westmoreland retiree Joann Brown told WPLN Radio retired people on fixed incomes can't afford it.
Some people who voted against the wheel tax increase said the county commission should instead raise property taxes -the traditional method of school funding.

Knowledge, Science and Technology Research
The Cardiff School of Social Sciences is a world leader in the social study of science, technology and knowledge. It is home to:
- the Cardiff Centre for the Ethical and Social Aspects of Genomics and Epigenetics (Cesagene), the successor to the ESRC funded Centre for the Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics (Cesagen)
- the Centre for the Study of Knowledge, Expertise and Science (KES), which is developing some of the most innovative work on expertise being undertaken in Science and Technology Studies (STS) as well as continuing work in sociology of scientific knowledge, and
- the Risk, Interaction and Organisation (RIO) research group, which provides an interdisciplinary forum for the social analysis of risk management practices.
Cardiff's international reputation in researching science, with a specially large group in the biomedical sciences, is based on its sustained track record of research and publication. Since 2008, the members of this theme have received more than £10M in research grants from funding agencies including the ESRC, the Wellcome Trust and The European Research Council (ERC). The quality of this research is epitomised by the ESRC's decision to continue funding the Centre for the Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics (Cesagen) until 2012 and an ERC grant to KES which runs until 2016.
Research at Cesagene involves close collaboration with colleagues in the Cardiff School of Medicine, Lancaster University and the Wales Gene Park. Research supported by Cesagene includes a study of the development of psychiatric genomics, an ethnographic investigation of development of in-vitro meat, work on the use of artificial reproductive techniques by families with motchondrial disease, as well as contributing to sciSCREEN, an innovative collaboration with Chapter Arts Centre, to promote the engagement of society in the complex field of biomedical science and genetics.
The sociology of expertise is now emerging as a major theme in the work of the Centre for the Study of Knowledge Expertise and Science (KES). Under the banner of Studies of Expertise and Experience (SEE) KES is now at the centre of an emerging network of researchers in investigating the classification and use of expertise, with the ALL@SEE website providing a focal point for this field. In addition, members of the KES have attracted research funding from the ESRC, European Science Foundation and British Academy and continue to make substantial empirical contributions to the social studies of science.
The theme Knowledge, Science and Technology intersects to a significant degree with research taking place within the School which is concerned, in various ways, with the concept of risk. The Risk, Interaction and Organisation (RIO) group was established to promote positive exchanges between sometimes diverse strands of research, united by a shared interest in linkages between risk, (social) interaction, and organisations. This research addresses risk as both a measure of threat or opportunity, and as a technical discourse which has become a pervasive basis for standard-setting and regulation in organisational life. It includes work on practical reasoning about new and unfamiliar technologies; social care; criminology; futures; citizen engagement; the nature of professional practice, knowledge brokerage; health and safety; environmental sustainability, policy-making, and a number of aspects of medicine and health care.

When it comes to our troops, there is no act of kindness too small. That's why one Richmond high school senior is working hard this week to send a special gift to those stationed overseas - the gift of music.
Kyle Liggans loves music. The St. Catherine's School senior says music has always played a big part in her life, and recently, it gave her a big idea for her senior independent project.
"I did a little bit of research on some service projects that people were doing that worked with the military, and there was one that was sending books and movies overseas. I thought, why not music?" said Liggans.
Her project is called "Tunes for our Troops", and Kyle's goal is to raise money by Friday, March 8 to buy 50 iPod Shuffles with pre-loaded music.
"Music is a great relief and stress release from that kind of environment," said Liggans.
Kyle decided to dedicate her project to troops after spending last summer at NASA Langley Research Center.
She would see them at the neighboring military base, and witnessed the things they do for our country each day.
Now, she wants to do something for them, and she needs your help to reach her goal.
She has designed a brochure, as well as created Facebook, Twitter, and blog pages to get the word out. There is even a site to give online.
Kyle says she wants this project to be less about her, and more about a community giving our soldiers a few tunes that could lift their spirits - at least for a few minutes.
"I'd love to send 50 iPod Shuffles, which is about $2700, but if I can send more than that, that would be fantastic," said Liggans.

Once a year the streets are lined with uniforms, patriotic colors and a feeling of honor pride and sacrifice.
Each year, Master Gunnery W.E. Williams leads his Bixby High School JROTC cadets, with pride.
After serving in Vietnam, being wounded and receiving a Purple Heart twice, it is hard today, to see his battle wounds. With a smile, he instructs the cadets.
He tells them how he sacrificed time with his family, how he honored his country with service and how proud he is to share his experience.
"They know I was in Vietnam. They know I was hit twice and so they know a lot about me," said Master Gunnery W.E. Williams, Bixby High School.
Williams says he served in Vietnam with his older brother. He and his brother were both hit, within two days. However, Williams says he waived his discharge home, and signed on to stay longer in Vietnam, than required.

Linda Ferber, Friends President
Mayor Marty Kirsch, Richfield
Councilmember Russ Susag, Richfield
President Jackson called the meeting to order and welcomed all guests.
Motion was made by J. Cole to approve the January 28, 1998 meeting minutes; seconded by B.Zaragoza; motion passed.
Mayor Marty Kirsch and Councilmember Russ Susag welcomed the Library Board to Richfield. Mayor Kirsch appreciated the opportunity to address the Library Board, commented on outstanding work of Vicki Oeljen, noted the great partnership between the Library and the City of Richfield. Councilmember Susag extended his welcome and noted that he represents the 2nd Ward which includes the Library.
Vicki Oeljen, Augsburg Park Librarian, reviewed information about Richfield--an inner ring suburb. There is a growing minority population and a large senior population with greater use of large print materials. From 1980 to 1997, even though the population decreased slightly and staffing stayed the same, library circulation has increased by 62%. Both the Friends group and Volunteers are very active and important to the success of the Augsburg Park Library.
J. Cole reviewed policy principles as outlined in a recent edition of the publication NONPROFIT BOARD REPORT.
Because there was a quorum present at the Feb. 11, 1998 meeting, motion to approve the minutes was necessary; motion to approve was made by M. Jackson, seconded by D. Mueller; motion passed.
Services to Groups Policy: will be revised to include a Readmobile statement; for April Library Board review.
Programming Policy: to Library Board for approval by January 1999.
Library Board Gift Policy: need a policy accepting all gifts; referred to staff to work on policy; for April Policy Committee meeting.
New policies:
1) Ethics Policy: D.Mueller moved to accept as amended; B.Zaragoza seconded; motion passed.
2) Relationship to Library Foundation: will be worked on and shared with the Foundation Board; for future approval by Library Board.
There had been a request that Charles Brown check on a couple of points prior to approval of the revised Bylaws:
1) Appointments statement: the County Board will continue the same process it is currently using; while Library Board terms will expire on December 31, appointments may not be made until February or March; therefore, a current Board member serves until a replacement is appointed.
2) Foundation statement: has been incorporated into the Bylaws.
D. Mueller moved to adopt the Bylaws as revised; C. Walsh seconded; motion passed.
TECHNOLOGY CENTERS PROPOSAL - Sharon Charles
Review of Technology Centers Implementation Plan and the Funding Chart. S. Charles responded to questions from the Library Board.
Charles Brown requested support of the Library Board for a delayed library opening on Thursday, Sept. 24, 1998, request for a 2:00 p.m. system-wide library opening, to enable all staff to participate in an all-morning development session. With Library Board approval, this request will progress to the County Board of Commissioners. D. Mueller moved approval; C. Walsh seconded. M. Jackson expressed concern about the 2 hour closing system-wide (4 hours at area libraries). Motion passed unanimously.
[Bob Zaragoza left the meeting.]
Elizabeth Feinberg gave a brief presentation on the upcoming implementation of OCLC, a world renowned data sharing resource and utility, and its impact on both Interlibrary Loans (ILL) and Cataloging. This two-fold process improvement project is now beginning with contract talks with OCLC. Expectations for ILL will mean reduced turn-around time in obtaining materials for patrons and an improved fill-rate with less "overhead". Expectations for Cataloging is to make the most effective use of OCLC, maintain good subject access, position HCL to best support state compliance standards and improve workflow whenever possible. Membership will benefit patrons and the organization.
Marilyn Turner, Applications Software Management & Training, formerly worked for a library that was involved with OCLC and she reported that one of the great benefits from being an OCLC member is that with the obligation of adhering more closely to national standards, HCL will be in an advantageous position with regards to using new products and technologies that need to interface with their bibliographic database. As a member of OCLC, HCL will be better positioned to influence development of vendor supported library services and will give HCL the opportunity to share cataloging information through active membership.
Teresa Bonner reported that the Library Foundation of Hennepin County on behalf of the Library, submitted a proposal to Urban Libraries Council, which is managing a grant program from the Book-of-the-Month Club. Developed a proposal titled "Books on Board" for the Children's Readmobile to increase the collection substantially. No word from ULC yet.
M. Jackson: Is working on policies with the Committee; quick review of Events List--note State of the County Address and the Friends Roundtable dates; reminder of meeting schedule revisions with March, April, May Ways & Means beginning at 4:30 p.m. and the April 22 Board meeting at 3:00.
MELSA/Metronet: J. Cole reported that MELSA trustees will be approving a reference contract; working on strategic planning with an overnight retreat scheduled for April 2 & 3; working on e-rate for all MELSA libraries. Update on Metronet technology grants status and multi-type library changes.
C. Walsh: Reminder of the April 22 Trustee/Director workshop and dinner, 5-8:30 p.m. in St. Paul. Announcement to be sent out soon, there will be a nominal cost to register.
D. Mueller: Reported that the Revenue Generation Team will be moving forward soon.
Teresa Bonner reported on the Leadership Breakfast--first date is being planned for late spring (handout to Library Board). The Foundation Speakers Bureau differs from the Library Board "Telling Our Story" group.
C. Brown reported:
Staff Issues
L. Engberg reported that regarding library Internet access: privacy screens have been added to all public terminals with Netscape access; there has been a marked decrease in complaints from patrons. Raising Readers Program for child care providers, presented by HCL staff, is scheduled for three sessions in March & April. Parent Literacy Program: Library staff go to correction facilities and share the joy of reading. Book tour by author of "Wasted" presented programs at various libraries.

I use amp modelers often these days and one problem with some of the patches is not enough gain when wanting more distortion. After trying a few different power boosters, I like the RC Booster the best but not quite enough gain for an amp modeler patch I like to use for solos.
I asked Xotic Custom Shop if it is possible to add 10 dB of gain (on a pot) to a RC booster. They did so and I must say the gain addition is perfect for the amp modeling patch! With the gain addition, the low frequencies were too forward but no problem since the low frequency pot on the RC Booster allow me to roll out the low frequencies to taste.
As to headroom, no problem but as to get even more headroom, the guys sent me a connector that allows for two 9 volt batteries as to jump up the voltage to 18 volts!
I am very pleased with the RC Booster!

Jay's unit is specially modified to accommodate 18 volt.
The current production model can only take up to 15vdc.
