Do you love to read teen fiction? Would you like to influence what other teens read? Well here is your chance. Every year the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) puts out a list of the Best Fiction for Young Adults based on the comments and feedback from TEENS just like you. You can view the current list, but if your favorites aren't on there, submit a nomination form.
There is also an opportunity to give your feedback LIVE at the American Library Association conference in Anaheim this June. Space is limited to just 10 teens so if you're interested and want more details contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Well here are some points to ponder when you're writing a book review from Heather Booth, Literature & Audio Service Librarian at the Downers Grove Library. The most important thing to remember is that when writing a review you're not just retelling the story. You're trying to help other readers decide if the book is worthy of their time and WHY. Move beyond "I love it/I hated it" by considering these suggestions...
The CHARACTERS were...believable, boring, flat, interesting, likeable, multi-dimensional, one-sided, recognizable, unrealistic
The DIALOGUE was...realistic, over-the-top, funny, witty, rough, melodramatic, subtle, serious
The PLOT was...familiar, gripping, complex, fast paced, unique, contemplative, simple, slow
Here are some DESCRIPTIVE WORDS & PHRASES you might use to describe a book... entertaining, lyrical, compelling, slice-of-life, memorable, pass-along, if you enjoyed_____, down to earth, can't put down, must-read, daring, well told, page-turner, discussable, controversial, not for fans of ______, plodding, readable, bland, high-interest.
Now go write reviews!! And if you haven't joined the Review Crew yet, be sure to do that first!
Are you super excited about the books you just checked out from the library?!?
These teens are! Check out these "library haul" videos and if you're inspired to create your own, you can post them to our Facebook page (facebook.com/escondidolibrary) or e-mail the Youtube link to me (email@example.com) and I'll post them here on the blog.
5 Stars
This is one of the best books I've read in the last few months, and fans of Hunger Games will definitely want to check it out because I found quite a few parallels between Katniss and the heroine of Graceling, Katsa (and not just the similarity of their names). Both are strong, wounded women who have experienced a hard life filled with loss and find themselves unwillingly being manipulated by people in positions of power over them, but they both come out winners in the end - Girl Power! Graceling isn't just for girls, though...it's an action, adventure, fantasy with just the right amount of suspense, tension, shock, mystery, battle, horrible unfathomable bad guys, romance (but not in the traditional sense that you would expect), and humor (I laughed out loud at some parts). I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning for quite a few days to finish it because I literally couldn't stop reading it. The world that the author creates is believable and the characters are all wonderfully developed and unique. From the publisher:Katsa has been able to kill a man with her bare hands since she was eight—she's a Graceling, one of the rare people in her land born with an extreme skill. As niece of the king, she should be able to live a life of privilege, but Graced as she is with killing, she is forced to work as the king's thug. She never expects to learn the truth behind her Grace—or the terrible secret that lies hidden far away . . . a secret that could destroy all seven kingdoms with words alone. I loved this book so much that I immediately checked out Cashore's second book Fire which is actually a companion novel to Graceling. Stay tuned for a review of that one!

Outburst interrupts night of peace in Ferguson (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
Missouri Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson said 47 people were arrested and three loaded handguns were seized during the protests Tuesday night and early today. In a news conference that began at about 2:15 this morning, Johnson said officers interrupted criminal activities and prevented violence. "Protest crowds were a bit smaller, and they were out earlier," he said, noting that no Molotov cocktails were thrown or bullets fired by protesters. However, he said some "criminals and agitators" threatened police, threw glass and plastic bottles — some filled with urine — at officers and hid behind members of the media covering the protests.
Shooting Accounts Differ as Holder Schedules Visit to Ferguson (New York Times)
As a county grand jury prepared to hear evidence on Wednesday in the shooting death of a black teenager by a white police officer that touched off 10 days of unrest here, witnesses have given investigators sharply conflicting accounts of the killing.
Ferguson Turmoil Continues With Another Shooting, More Arrests (TruthDig)
The face-off between police and protesters in and around Ferguson, Mo., continued Tuesday, with tensions further kindled by reports of another police shooting and by more details about slain teenager Michael Brown. President Obama sounded a note of empathy for "young men of color" who are "left behind and seen only as objects of fear" and called for calm as the National Guard made its presence known on the scene and Attorney General Eric Holder announced his plans to travel there Wednesday.
Nobody Knows How Many Americans The Police Kill Each Year (FiveThirtyEight)
Earlier this month, a police officer shot and killed an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri. The shooting and the response have reignited concerns about racial profiling, police brutality and police militarization. The incident has also drawn attention to a remarkable lack of knowledge about a seemingly basic fact: how often people are killed by the police. Some reporting has put forward one of the only figures available: the approximately 400 "justifiable police homicides" each year since 2008, according to the FBI's annual Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR). That data point has appeared with heavy caveats in a string of media reports, including in USA Today, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Washington Post. The statistic might seem solid at first glance. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Bureau of Justice Statistics — independently of the FBI — also estimate the number of police homicides per year at around 400.
Police Misconduct Costs Black People Their Livelihood Even When It Spares Their Lives (Think Progress)
As anger and frustration continue in Ferguson, Missouri over the killing of Michael Brown by a police officer, which appears to be a result of the use of excessive force, attention must also go to the excessive economic coercion used by America's police. Frivolous traffic stops and coercive threats allow police to extract money from citizens through tickets, fines, and court costs. Economic intimidation via petty stops, searches, and seizures is a national problem that finds particular resonance in minority communities like Ferguson.
Police mistrust still prevalent years later (Associated Press)
rown's death is the latest illustration of deep divisions between minorities and police that have simmered for generations. Concern about the events playing out in Ferguson has coursed all the way up to the White House. President Barack Obama said Attorney General Eric Holder would go to Missouri this week to check on the independent federal investigation into Brown's death. "In too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement," the president said.
'Outside agitators' worsening unrest in Ferguson, Mo., residents say (Kansas City Star)
"People of Ferguson are getting punished for the actions of outside agitators," said Kenny Murdock, 47, who hosts a show on a St. Louis radio station. Antonio French, a St. Louis alderman who had been documenting the protests and the security response on social media, pointed via Twitter to a small group of people who "cannot be defined as protesters/demonstrators. They are more like fighters/rebels/insurgents." The crowds at night are younger and rowdier, said Laparasena Gandy, 25, who protested Monday across from the Ferguson Police Department.
What was THAT? A guide to the military gear being used against civilians in Ferguson (Vox)
The extremely militaristic police response to the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, which have occurred nightly since a police officer shot unarmed teenager Michael Brown to death on August 9, has shocked many Americans. In its tactics, appearance, and especially equipment, the security operation looks more like it belongs on a battlefield in Iraq or Afghanistan than in the streets of an American suburb. Armored vehicles, tear gas, full combat gear, rifles — what is all that? From LRADs to MRAPs, here's a brief guide to the equipment being used against civilians in the St. Louis suburb.
This Is The Most Important Reform Ferguson Can Enact To Give Its Black Residents A Voice (ThinkProgress)
If you compared the racial makeup of Ferguson, Missouri's population as a whole to that of its government, it would be easy to mistake the city for an enclave of Jim Crow. Although nearly 70 percent of Ferguson is black, 50 of its 53 police officers are white. So are five of Ferguson's six city council members. The mayor, James Knowles, is a white Republican. Ferguson can help ensure that its leaders more closely resemble its population, however. They just need to hold their elections at a time when voters are actually likely to show up.
#FeedFerguson raises $71,000, keeps going (KSDK)
A school teacher from Raleigh has helped raise more than $71,000 in just four short days for the children of Ferguson, according to FeedTheStudents.org. Julianna Mendelsohn, 33, started a Fundly campaign on August 14 with the aim to raise $80,000 for the St Louis Foodbank. The teacher cited the fact that many children in the U.S. rely on school to get what could be the kids only meal for the day.
View of #Ferguson Thrust Michael Brown Shooting to National Attention (New York Times)
For people in the news business, Twitter was initially viewed as one more way to promote and distribute content. But as the world has become an ever more complicated place — a collision of Ebola, war in Iraq, crisis in Ukraine and more — Twitter has become an early warning service for news organizations, a way to see into stories even when they don't have significant reporting assets on the ground. And in a situation hostile to traditional reporting, the crowdsourced, phone-enabled network of information that Twitter provides has proved invaluable.
Ferguson Unrest Shows Poverty Growing Fastest in Suburbs (Bloomberg)
Six days of violence and protests in a town outside St. Louis are highlighting how poverty is growing fastest on the outskirts of America's cities, as suburbs have become home to a majority of the nation's poor. In Ferguson, Missouri, a community of 21,000 where the poverty rate doubled since 2000, the dynamic has bred animosity over racial segregation and economic inequality. Protests over the police killing of an unarmed black teenager on Aug. 9 have drawn international attention to the St. Louis suburb's growing underclass.
Ferguson Police Militarization: Cash Flowed To Lawmakers Who Voted To 'Militarize' Police (International Business Times)
As local law enforcement has deployed martial tactics against those protesting the police killing of an 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri, a debate is suddenly raging over how municipal police forces came to resemble military units. A new report suggests the trend may, in part, have to do with campaign contributions to congressional lawmakers.

In recent weeks, both teams have had solid preparatory work for the race that is most highly regarded in MIAC track and field competition.
Both squads competed at Carleton May 4 and 5, the men in the MIAC decathlon, and the women in the heptathlon. On the men's side, St. Olaf's Ryan Doyle '09 finished sixth in the multi-event competition. His best finishes came in the 400-meter dash with a time of 52.13 seconds and in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 16.92 seconds. Doyle finished second in both events.
In the heptathlon, the Oles' Katja Anderson '08 brought home a fourth-place finish, tallying a victory in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 16.02 seconds.
For the men, the team competed in the St. Thomas Invitational on May 6, which was the final team competition before the men head to St. Thomas again for the conference meet. The Oles tallied an impressive performance from Pete Cathcart '06, whose shot put throw was good for first place. Cathcart's hammer throw was also good for second place in the meet.
Also, the annual Rolex Classic, a dual meet with Carleton, took place Tuesday at Carleton. The Oles rallied for several notable finishes, including the 1,500-meter run, in which Marc Ellingson '06, Andrew Petz '07 and David Green '09 finished one, two and three, respectively. In field events, the Ole men swept the shot put, led by Cathcart.
Individuals from both teams have been receiving deserved recognition this past week. Cathcart received the MIAC Field Athlete of the Week award for his performance at St. Thomas. Currently, his throw ranks him seventh in Division III.
On the women's side, Marla Nelson '06 received the same recognition for her pole vault performance at the Tommie Twilight May 3. Her vault of 3.45 meters is an NCAA provisional mark. The distance also ranks first in the MIAC and is a new personal record.
The conference meet will take place at O'Shaugnessy Stadium on the campus of St. Thomas. Competition will begin at 3 p.m. Friday with the preliminaries and continue Saturday at 4 p.m. with the finals.
"The conference has gotten a lot tougher," head coach Bill Thornton said. "Historically, the men's team has always overarchieved, and hopefully that's the case this year. If we can overcome some injuries, hopefully we can surprise some teams.
Chris Daymont, the women's track and field head coach, was optimistic about her team's chances.
"We are not a great championship team but we do have some athletes that should place highly," Daymont said. "We are counting on a couple kids to step up, but I think we can should finish in the top half."
The Ole men finished third a season ago, while the women finished sixth. St. John's (men) and St. Thomas (women) are the defending champions.

Eurofins Air Toxics Inc. now offers analysis of Radiello® passive diffusive air samplers. Passive diffusive samplers offer solutions to many air sampling applications including environmental monitoring, ambient and outdoor air monitoring, industrial hygiene, industrial air quality (IAQ), and personal sampling.Our 30,000 sf. facility is the largest air testing laboratory in the country providing testing services on a national and international level. Eurofins Air Toxics Inc. has partnered with the EPA, Navy, and other governmental agencies to validate passive technology for use in providing technically defensible analytical data for a wide spectrum of analytes. Our extensive experience supports passive sampling projects throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Recently, we supported a significant indoor air quality characterization study that involved the analysis of over 1500 Radiello® samplers. Sampling with passive devices does not require the use of pumps and it can be performed anywhere and at a very low cost. The radial design offers higher capacity and faster uptake/sampling rates than traditional passive monitors.
Eurofins Air Toxics Inc. Maintains an extensive inventory offering immediate delivery. No waiting for the supplier.
Passive sampling should be considered for projects requiring accuracy, low detection limits, and simplicity.
We continue to expand our sorbent capabilities and have added to both our TO-17 product line and our passive sampling solutions. Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon fuel identification and characterization are now available by EPA Method TO-17, encompassing middle distillate fuels such as diesel, jet fuel, mineral spirits and kerosene. Carbon range fractionation, quantification of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, and a wide range of compounds of concern from naphthalene to pyrene are also achievable using TO-17.
We also offer a wide array of passive sampling solutions for indoor and outdoor air. Our technical team can assist you in choosing the appropriate passive sampler to meet your data quality objectives. While we have numerous options for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), we have recently added capabilities to collect and analyze for ammonia and hydrogen sulfide using passive samplers.

It took me a while to find these, so I thought I would post them here. In the end I had to search the source code to find them.
:before_save, :after_save, :before_create, :after_create, :before_update, :after_update, :before_validation, :after_validation, :before_validation_on_create, :after_validation_on_create, :before_validation_on_update, :after_validation_on_update, :before_destroy, :after_destroy, :validate_on_create, :validate_on_update, :validate
I was searching for these amongst MongoMapper doucmentation and blog posts when really they are an ActiveSupport concept as the following comment suggests:
Almost all of this callback stuff is pulled directly from ActiveSupport . . .
Being new to rails I wasn't very familiar with the ActiveSupport stuff and so I didn't know to look there. Anyway this is how I use them in my posts model:
class Post include MongoMapper::Document many :comments key :title, String, :required => true key :slug, String key :body, String, :required => true key :published, Boolean key :published_on, Date, :default => Date.today after_save :update_comment_titles private def update_comment_titles comments.each do |comment| comment.post_title = self.title comment.save end end end
My comments live in a separate document collection and each Comment document contains the title of the Post that it belongs to. This allows me to list all comments (on the admin page for example) without having to query any of the Post documents.
This above after_save call back ensures that the post_title on each Comment is updated if I ever update the title of the post.

Ten years old: the world's first MP3 player
The MP3 player is ten years old this month. The first commercially released personal music player capable of handling MP3 files was the MPMan F10, manufactured by Korea's Saehan Information Systems and launched in March 1998. The F10 contained 32MB of Flash storage, enough for a handful of songs encoded at 128Kb/s. It measured …
@"I just laugh at anyone who doesn't use iTunes or an iPod for MP3s."
I can only assume that's a troll.
I use the MP3 player that's built into my telephone. It currently has a 4GB memory card which holds as much music as I ever need. No DRM on it either. I use the radio sometimes too.
iPod? iDon'tthinkso.
What about this, (concept) from 1988...
(We were about to build it, but the young Standford engineers we bought in were too flaky, so the MPMan ended up being first. We did begin talks with Saehan about them building us a custom version, but then the Rio came out, so the project was canned. It's no good being second or third! Less motivation. The rest is iHistory!)
"Apple employed their usual 'throw shedloads of money at marketing' tactic and came up with a sleek design..."
How dare they! When will companies learn that if there is one thing which is verboten, it is making a product look nice and then marketing it!
There are problems with the ipod, and I personally found most of the marketing silly - but the device is more than usable, and the marketing obviously worked. It's not Apple's job to make a tiny percentage of IT dorks happy; it's their job to sell shit. And sell it they have.
*rolls eyes*
RE:Daniel B
'Anyone under 21 would have known mp3's by then, as when the format became "popular" (1998)'
That isn't really an argument that they were well known by 2003. It may come as a shock to know this, but younger people usually are the first to adopt new technology. This does not make them the majority though as there are far more people OVER the age of 21, and they tend to be the ones with the disposable income to afford to buy things. So while you and your mates were quite happily ripping CDs to your players and leeching free music from the net, it did nothing to really boost the mp3 player market. It was only when ipod came to the public eye that player sales really took off and mp3 became more widely known, until then it WAS still a niche thing.
I still have mine
Never new it was very first remember buying it in currys irvine about £70 way back then even still have 2 16mb smart media 1 in and another in sleve that says xmass just put a battery in and hey presto working after all these years and Runrig loch lomond plays first.
wonder if mp-man.co.uk still works nope ah! well at least I have a collectors piece
Re: So funny to see people suffer with non Apple MP3 players
"""I think it's funny when someone bashes Apple, uses a 3rd party MP3 player, and then you see them struggle with the software, or user interface, or poor battery life, or inability to handle lossless compression, etc. etc.
I just laugh at anyone who doesn't use iTunes or an iPod for MP3s."""
I laugh at people that /do/ use itunes and an ipod. Almost everyone I know that has an ipod uses Winamp do manage it since itunes has such a crap interface.
But I personally have an iriver flash player that gets 45 hours (tested) battery life, has an excellent interface, does mp3, flac, and ogg (my favorite,) and, best of all, doesn't require any software. It mounts as a usb storage device, and I have a small python script that transcodes my music to ogg and transfers everything using rsync. I 'manage' my music with a terminal simply by copying files that I want into a directory on my laptop.
And it only cost $40.
If you think that itunes is the pinnacle of usability, then you probably don't know enough about interacting with a computer to have an opinion on the subject.
I fondly remember my 32mb Rio ripoff. The battery life with AAAs was so terrible that I hacked on an external AA battery holder and just kept the jumble in a pouch. The display was so useless that I could operate the whole thing without even removing it from the bag. I imagine getting something like that through airport security these days would lead to some lovely probing in places that I'd rather keep private.
Well it did do one good thing it killed SONY's very evil DRM'd schemes and scams like ATRAC stone motherless dead!
But with the prices of bulk cheap memory falling so quickly , it is about the right time to move on to lossless codec's !
Apple, has no such split personality
and jumped into the gaping hole that said 'make something for the average person' which had traditionally been Sony's.
That is, Apple had /promised/ that it would never go into the music business when it took its name from Apple music, so it had no music business to protect when it went into the music business...
And the world was looking for a business like iTunes, after the music industry had killed off all the businesses like iTunes, the ones that maintained a central inventory of titles and customers. If Napster had just come along 2 years later...
Sony indeed in the game
I started out with a Rio 500 (64Mb as I recall and USB!), and when it broke I traded it up for a Sony NW-MS11. 128Mb, could only play ATRAC3 files, but don't worry it came with conversion software - OpenMG Jukebox <shudder>
Comments on 'Ten years old: the world's first MP3 player'
I think that it was over 10 years ago that I could buy the complete Beatle albums - everything they ever produced after a chicken dinner.
That was about US$5.00, a little more after the dinner. LOL!
Hey, what happened with the VCD?
Phoenix, Arizona
@Simon Harris
> while a minidisc at the time could store 80 minutes of music at
> a bit rate of nearly 300kbits/second on a cheap re-writeable
> disc.
I wouldn't count 30 dollars a piece as "cheap". And searching for a shop that sells blank MDs is like searching for a needle in a haystack. And 80 dollars for prerecorded discs which are even harder to find? No thanks.
And lastly, transferring music to the player takes as long as the amount of music you had, since your only option of recording is the old "analog tape" method- hit record on the MD unit, hit play on the PC, and pray that the track doesn't skip or your MSN or whatever software you have don't make any noises during transfer, meaning you have to shut off practically everything except your media player software, and not touch the computer. And you have to plug it into the headphones jack on the PC, too, meaning you forfeit sounds during transferring of data. Sure, Sony fixed that with the NetMD, but then, I wouldn't want to pay over a thousand bucks for it if media is so hard to come by.
Take it from someone who had a Sharp Minidisc player/recorder in the past. The player died in 2003, from which I used my Sony Clie as a makeshift MP3 player. My current MP3 player is a Creative Zen Vision:M that does way more than what the MD player could ever do: videos, photos, FM radio and currently holds my entire CD collection, as well as mirrors everything I have on my Media Center PC, and it still has space for more.
PS Back in '99
Back in '99 Sybex published a book "MP3 ! SE"
This book mentioned several dozen different brands on sale at publishing date

Now that should revive some memories .
MiniDisc please
I had a MiniDisc recorder built into my Sony hi-fi and a one Sony & one Sharp portable MD plyer/recorders. The Sharp could take mike-in for recording interviews etc. I understand that the later netman MD recorders will let you rip your recordings from MD onto your personal computer via USB. shame this was not available earlier. I do have the usb to fibre-optic output adapter that would let you copy - in real time - mp3 to MD!.
Now, I'm using an XDA/HTC-Wizard with 2GB miniSD cards or my SE 'Walkman' K850 and W880 handsets with 4GB M2 cards! All of which sync seamlessly with Windows Media Player.
I only have one commercial MD album - I think it is by Reef. There must be a warehouse/landfill somewhere with millions of unsold commercial MD's!
I still have this mp3 player, F20 but there is not useful.
The picture of mp3 player on the articles is F20, manufactured by Saehan.
I still have this one, but now I can't use it any more.
I remember when it came out in the world, I was so shocked.
It means Digital products began to come out in the market and changed many of issued new productions in the world.
Also, new brands had been developed quickly...
However, Saehan dropped out of mp3 player from several years ago.
Now some companies in Korea, Samsung (Yepp series) and Reincom (Iriver) have been developing this biz.
Up to now, there are many good competitors in digital field ; sony, ipod and so on. It is good for users to provide a variety of choices.
Now, I have Yepp series and they come to be my gadgets.
Re: Nexox Enigma
"I have a small python script that transcodes my music to ogg and transfers everything using rsync. I 'manage' my music with a terminal simply by copying files that I want into a directory on my laptop."
Yeah? Well, get this, right, I plug my iPod in and iTunes synchs it automatically. I then unplug it again and it has all my music on. If I feel *really* flash I don't even hit any keys or touch the mouse.
Amazing, eh?
And having had a pre-iTunes Windoze iPod, I can assure you that iTunes does make my life lots simpler.
iTunes replacement
No one here has mentioned MediaMonkey as an iTunes replacement. I've been using it for quite a few years and find it vastly superior to any other music management software. Not only is the user interface more efficient I can synch about anything to it. This includes multiple versions of iPods, my Blackberry, my old Sony Clie PDA, an old Archos Jukebox, usb drives, removable HD's, etc. Essentially anything I can give as a drive or directory I can synch. The primary reason I started using it was because of it's syncing capabilities and because, unlike iTunes, I can set it to sync to capacity and not get the annoying message from iTunes that tells me to pare down my list of over 130gb of music. The only times I ever have to open iTunes is to upgrade the software on my iPod or to synch photos, addresses, or contacts (I don't have a video iPod but I suppose I'd need to use iTunes for that too) which I don't do very often (see the previously mentioned Blackberry) and because I occasionally use it for pulling Podcasts (which if I did more often I would likely use one of the other available utilities to download.)
Legal issues
I think big names like Sony, but also many others came quite late, because there were legal issues. Diamond, the maker of the Rio, spent a huge lot of money defending itself against the MPAA before ii was actually broadly accepted that it was legal to produce this types of devices.
No mention of the CD MP3 players?
I honestly don't remember the first generation of mp3 players, though I do remember minidiscs being flogged at the time. My first portable mp3 memory is the discmans that could play mp3 cds. Get 8 or 10 albums on one single cd? WOW! Now that was cool.Great battery life off 2xAA cells too. The one I've currently got I bought in 2004 for NZ$50 and still use every day - since work uses thin clients not real PCs.
Now I'm just looking out for a *really* cheap portable DVD player that plays mp3 DVDs. Gotta keep up after all.
Corporate greed, not technology is the issue
I personally believe that it was the power of RIAA and SONY Records that stifled minidiscs. The fear of people making digital copies on a large scale was the barrier. Not market preferences, not technology issues. It's not a matter of ATRAC versus mp3 technology. I don't believe SONY engineers were not capable of enabling Long Play on minidiscs (up to 4CD's on 1 minidisc) and allowing transfer of files between the PC and the minidisc long, long time ago. Or that SONY marketers were unable to arrange for a minidisc to be part of almost every single boombox and bookshelf on the market, just like the cassette player was - and again is! In all this I can see a clear pattern of erecting artificial barriers to prevent digital copying at all costs, and to prevent the minidiscs from being a widespread media like the good old cassette. Real shame.
I still use Minidisc for recording my own music and radio shows. In that function it is still unbeaten. Second reason why I am sticking with the minidisc is that I am not dependent on a computer - it's simply a part of my hi-fi. Thirdly, my instinct is that my recordings are safer on minidiscs than on a hard drive or a flash memory, long term (say 10-15 years). Hard discs and memories do crash, and file formats and interfaces do change in time.
Make no mistake - I am a devoted, long time Macintosh user. Still I find it a real shame that a player that would combine the best features of both minidisc and iPod did not replace the compact cassette. I think that would have been a real winner for us users.
I remember something like this in the late 1980s/early 1990s
I remember while in the sixth form great excitement when a friends dad produced a grey box that could play high quality audio from some kind of solid state disc.
He went out to Japan, and we never saw him again. Was this the forerunner of the MP3 player?
I guess I will never know!
iPod ithe mp3 player
"You're in Big Trouble now! Little bastard Stevie Jobs has spent the last less than a decade convincing the World that he, the Great iNOvator, Invented the Pocket Media Player!"
No he hasn't, but for all intent and purposes the iPod is the MP3 player to most people. The name iPod and words like podcasting are in common use. Ask anyone to name an mp3 player and the iPod will be their answer in most cases.
You really need to get a life Webster Phreaky, how old are you, 12?
Kudos on the cd mp3 players
I got one of these Sony discmen that could read mp3s too back in 2001 I think it was. At the time it could hold 700mb of mp3s on a rewriteable disc which was impressive for the day AND have a battery life of 35 hours. You could write a blank cd faster than usb 1 went too so it was quicker to sync up. Given the first generation of i-pods could barely manage six which wasn't enough to even listen to a cd of mp3s they were rather pointless. The remote could read id3 tags properly too but it was bigger. It also read the crappy ATRAC but I never ever used that and avoided the attempts by Sony to foist their rubbish on me. I never understood though why they spent so long not having proper mp3 players when you could get diskmen so long ago that did support mp3.
totally uninformed....
it really ticks me off when people who have absolutley no clue what they are talking about start to pontificate.
1 - apple didn't invent the m3 player, no one said they did, but ford didn't invent the car either... they just made people need them.
2 - apple SETTLED with creative. this means 2 things, creative couldn't get all they were asking for AND that there is no guilty verdict on apple's part -- they settled because fighting it in court would cost way more than 100mil. -- creative was simply trying to milk apple's success for a bit of publicity and some of the pie.
3 - i could care less weather one prefers the ipod or some random taiwanese mp3 player - the simple fact is this, apple has proven again and again that they are way ahead of the game with the ipod -- pure and simple. argue all you want, i can get AM/FM functionality in a device they sell at dollar stores -- not to mention fm radio sucks, and all my talk radio shows are pod casted anyway. i've gotten so sick of so many different mp3 players, it's like saying windows vista is any better than xp -- let alone most builds of linux or osx.
4 - the quality of audio on a mobile device is the absolute stupidest argument i've ever heard in my freakin life! it's like people who insist on doing every aspect of a record in analogue with no intention of releasing it on vinyl... all is lost once you throw it on cd, moron.... back to my point here though, there is SO MUCH background noise in your car and around you when you wear headphones, the db levels of the frequencies eliminated (anything above or below the range of human hearing) are way lower than those in your environment, so any benefit from even having them is nil, since they are drowned out by the area around you anyway. (did you know the ambient noise in the cabin of a car going 55mph on a highway can reach 70 db?) if you are arguing quality in such a crumby listening environment, you are either ignorant of the facts, or you are just arguing for the sake of argument...
though that last reason seems to be why most people shamelessly bash companies like apple and honda...
eh, whatever.
ps - i don't even own a mac right now, as the local computer store had an acer laptop on sale for $350 -- though i do intend to get a macbook, why limit yourself?

7 Essential Skills You Didn't Learn in College
- |
- 2:00 pm |
- Permalink
Political Science
Statistical Literacy
Why take this course?
We are misled by numbers and by our misunderstanding of probability.
What you'll learn:
How to parse polls, play the odds, and embrace uncertainty.
e use only 10 percent of our brain! That familiar statement is false—there's no evidence to support it. Still, something about it just sounds right, so we internalize it and repeat it. Such is the power—and danger—of statistics.
Our world is shaped by widespread statistical illiteracy. We fear things that probably won't kill us (terrorist attacks) and ignore things that probably will (texting while driving). We buy lottery tickets. We fall prey to misleading gut instincts, which lead to biases like loss aversion—an inability to gauge risk against potential gain. The effects play out in the grocery store, the office, and the voting booth (not to mention the bedroom: People who are more risk-averse are less successful in love).
And it's getting worse: We are now 53 percent more likely than our parents to trust polls of dubious merit. (That figure is totally made up. See?) Where do all these numbers that we remember so easily and cite so readily come from? How are they calculated, and by whom? How do we misuse them to make them say what we want them to? We'll explore all of these questions in a sequence on sourcing statistics.
The self may be unknowable, but it isn't untrackable. It is now easier than ever to tap into a wealth of data—heart rate, caloric input and output, foot speed, sleep patterns, even your own genetic code—to glean new insights and make better decisions about your health and behavior.
Next, this course will turn to the topic of probabilistic intuition. We'll learn to judge what's likely and unlikely—and what's impossible to know. We'll learn about distorting habits of mind like selection bias—and how to guard against them. We'll gamble. We'll read The Art of Probability for Scientists and Engineers by Richard Hamming, Expert Political Judgment by Philip Tetlock, and How to Cheat Your Friends at Poker by Penn Jillette and Mickey Lynn.
Finally, we'll learn how to use statistics to our advantage. You don't have to be an actuary to understand just how likely various potential outcomes actually are.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is about Mullet Fingers who is Beatrice's stepbrother and Roy who is the curios person who wants to know who Mullet Fingers is. This book is set in present day and takes place at a construction site, near coconut cove in Florida. the story is about saving some burrowing owls from being bulldozed down on the new pancake place called Mother Paula's All American Pancake House. The kids have to try to stop a guy named Curly from killing the owls and there joined by Mother Paula. Mullet Fingers runs away from military school and teams up with his sister sister Beatrice. they don't tell any one about it because they don't want him to go back to military school. Stopping the kids from the owls is the vice President of the Pancake House company, called Chuck Muckle.
I like this book because there is a lot of enthusiasm throughout the book. The author wanted people to care about the environment and the animals in nature. The book taught me about creatures that I didn't even know about. The book had a bully who picked on kids on the school bus. I learned new words that I didn't understand until I kept reading. This book was so interesting that I want to keep reading his books.
I very much enjoyed reading this book. In my opinion, it is the type of book that could be enjoyed by, and relatable to, any audience because it's just an interesting, well written story. For example, the author's style of writing incorporates a lot of dialogue which is interesting to read, but the dialogue includes a lot of relaxed language, or colloquial speech, that makes reading more personal, more relevant, and more engaging. In the very beginning of the story, on the third page of the story, Carl Hiaasen writes, "'Whassamatter, cowgirl? Had enough?'" I also like the plot of this story because I feel that it was multidimensional. The overall idea of the plot is rather simple (experiencing the development and growth in maturity of a middle school boy), but the details of the plot are complex due to the fact that there are many round characters that grow in their own unique way. I was very drawn in while I was reading this book, and I noticed myself feeling severe frustration for Roy, the main character. The book does have some advanced themes addressed within it, for example, some of the characters, such as Lonna, Mullet Fingers' stepmother, and corrupt adults who value business and money over preventing the extinction of an endangered species. There are so many big ideas prevalent in this story such as those revolving around growing up, family, corruption and greed, etc., but I feel that the most valuable big idea I gained from this text was the importance of developing personal integrity. Life is about balancing the mind and the heart to make decisions, and that it is important to accept the consequences of your actions.
3.5 stars
Roy is in middle school and has moved to Florida from Montana recently. He often is bullied by Dana. On the bus one day, Roy noticed a boy running alongside with no shoes and wants to find out who he is and what he's all about. Meanwhile, there is some vandalism going on at a nearby construction site.
It sounds a bit disjointed, but it comes together. I enjoyed it, especially toward the end.
A wonderful lighthearted easy read.... enjoyed turning every page
Kids book from Hiaasen. very good
Pat Tate (Carousel 23 (Spring 2003))
Roy Eberhardt is being bullied by Dana Matherson, mainly because he is the new boy who has just moved to the school in Florida from Montana. A refreshingly different tale because Roy resolutely refuses to give in to the bully, and as a result of this positive stand he sees something mysterious which develops into an intriguing story. There is a connection with the tantalising title and cover and the delightful humour, together with the lovably quirky characters in this special novel, is most satisfying. My heart warmed to the policeman who fell asleep in his patrol car, and woke to find someone had painted all the windows black. The book feels very American but young readers will cope with the slight cultural differences, which may well enhance their enjoyment of the tale.
Nicholas Tucker (Books for Keeps No. 140, May 2003)
Hiaasen must be the most entertaining environmental author there has yet been. Now addressing a younger audience for the first time, his latest passionate but also very funny novel jogs along paths already familiar to fans of his previous adult eco-thrillers. Set in his beloved but continuously over-developed state of Florida, this story features a wild boy out to defeat a Pancake company from building on land dwelt in by rare burrowing owls. Up against him are Curly, the grumpy, bald site foreman, Officer Delinko, an unfortunate policeman, and Chuck E Muckle, company chairman and ruthless entrepreneur. All this is witnessed by Roy, a new boy in the area who is also the target of his school's chief bully. How everything finally works out is a joy to behold, with enough one-liners to keep any reader happy long after the event. Category: 10-14 Middle/Secondary. Rating: ***** (Unmissable). ...., Macmillan, 288pp, D9.99 pbk. Ages 10 to 14.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440419395, Paperback)Roy Eberhardt is the new kid--again. This time around it's Trace Middle School in humid Coconut Grove, Florida. But it's still the same old routine: table by himself at lunch, no real friends, and thick-headed bullies like Dana Matherson pushing him around. But if it wasn't for Dana Matherson mashing his face against the school bus window that one day, he might never have seen the tow-headed running boy. And if he had never seen the running boy, he might never have met tall, tough, bully-beating Beatrice. And if he had never met Beatrice, he might never have discovered the burrowing owls living in the lot on the corner of East Oriole Avenue. And if he had never discovered the owls, he probably would have missed out on the adventure of a lifetime. Apparently, bullies do serve a greater purpose in the scope of the universe. Because if it wasn't for Dana Matherson...
In his first novel for a younger audience, Carl Hiaasen (Basket Case, etc.) plunges readers right into the middle of an ecological mystery, made up of endangered miniature owls, the Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House scheduled to be built over their burrows, and the owls' unlikely allies--three middle school kids determined to beat the screwed-up adult system. Hiaasen's tongue is firmly in cheek as he successfully cuts his slapstick sense of humor down to kid-size. Sure to be a hoot, er, hit with middle school mystery fans. (Ages 10 to 15) --Jennifer Hubert

True to form these days, as we are celebrating the greatest superhero cartoons, the hammer falls and the last two shows on the list that are still airing have been cancelled. Those are of course Green Lantern: The Animated Series, and an as yet unrevealed show on this list. It's a running theme with good shows, and even more so with great animated series given the sheer amount of series competing for airtime. Luckily, many of the series on this list have gone on for quite a few seasons in their respective runs, which bodes well as we make it to the top 10! READ: THE 20 BEST SUPERHERO ANIMATED SERIES, PART I READ: THE 20 BEST SUPERHERO ANIMATED SERIES, PART II I could keep talking about how much I love cartoons, and comics, and any mixture of the two, but I think we've established that fact by now. So let's just get to it! Oh, and fair warning, this pat of the list is a little Batman heavy. Because Batman is awesome.

I could keep talking about how much I love cartoons, and comics, and any mixture of the two, but I think we've established that fact by now. So let's just get to it! Oh, and fair warning, this pat of the list is a little Batman heavy. Because Batman is awesome.
10) The Batman
The Dark Knight is a character who has had the good fortune to feature in a number of series, whether it was as the title character or part of a group. The Batman was the first series to premiere after one of the most well known portrayals of Batman (we'll talk about that later) had finally moved off the air. At first glance it was a little hard to accept, with a new voice for Batman, new animation style, and new character designs. The new redone designs for the villains is what I think initially turned a few die hard fans of the series away, which is unfortunate. Set in the early days of Batman's career, it stepped completely out of its predecessors shadow (I said we'll talk about that later already, didn't I?) and brought some new and interesting stories to the Batman mythology, while weaving a new history for the Dark Knight. Throughout the first couple of seasons the show developed a rich cast of supporting characters, and in the last few seasons it took on the task of introducing Batman's extended family with the well handled additions of Batgirl and Robin. The series respected the source material without being afraid of experimenting with it, which led to some great stories and a great overall watch.
The voice cast of the series was pretty important considering the amazing cast of the previously UN-mentioned series ( which I swear we will talk about later), and had a lot to live up too. As it was purposefully moving away from that era of Batman and into the next, the voice cast was changed considerably, and was very well done. Rino Ramona brought a new voice to the Dark Knight, and Kevin Michael Richardson does a great job of bringing this version of the Joker to life. There was a nice array of big names attached as well, with Clancy Brown, Gina Gershon, Ron Perlman, Mitch Pileggi, Robert Englund and even Adam West all lending their voices.
09) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Chances are if you are a part of my generation, this show means a great deal to your childhood. I'm not talking about the newer version that came out after the millennium, although that was still a decent series. This spot is totally dedicated to the late '80s – early '90s series that brought the Turtles into the mainstream, and created a fan following that retains a true love for the series to this day. While some of the animation and voice acting doesn't quite live up to the memories when watched again, the pure nostalgia factor of the show is enough to make any grown man cry. Or just this grown man, I am a bit of a softie. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was just a ton of fun, and that opening theme song was spectacular. It should also be commended for taking a dark and incredibly different comic and turning it into a kid friendly romp that is far more remembered than the source material. Some might say that isn't a great thing to be acknowledged for, but when it comes to TMNT I think most fans are thankful, Dude.
The voice cast will always be remembered fondly, but after hearing it again at an older age it kind of blows your mind. For starters, the Shredder was voiced by James Avery AKA Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Yeah, I know. Mind blown. Some other cartoon heavy weights include Townsend Coleman, Cam Clarke, Rob Paulsen, and Barry Gordon. I know, you're still thinking about Uncle Phil as the Shredder. That's okay, you're not alone.
08) Batman: The Brave and the Bold
Another Batman series that takes a unique stand and produces a great cartoon that is anything but what we were used too. Based off of the Silver Age version of the characters, the show teamed up Batman with another DC character for generally hilarious and original stories that were a half hour of awesome every week. Batman definitely took center stage, but the series also offered a place for some lesser known characters to take a little of the spotlight, like Plastic Man, Wildcat, Blue Beetle and the incredibly hilarious Aquaman, who was probably the funniest and most recurring character of the series. Setting the show in the Silver Age (for the most part) was a brilliant decision that opened up the series to a whole new fanbase while keeping long time fans happy.
First and foremost, we have to talk about Diedrich Bader as Batman. Yes, Oz from The Drew Carey Show, who delivered an impressive and memorable Batman with just the right amount of humor to pull it off without being campy or unbelievable. It also featured a rotating cast of voices that included John Dimaggio, James Arnold Taylor, Will Friedle, Kevin Michael Richardson, and a ton of DC staples.
07) X-Men: TAS
This was the first of the '90s era of Marvel cartoons, and was easily the best. And that's just because of the theme song, which will get stuck in your head the minute you hear it again. Arguably one of the most faithful adaptation of the comics, X-Men: The Animated Series took its cue from the Jim Lee era that included flashy new '90s costumes and a core team that appealed to a pretty wide audience. The cartoon featured a huge cast of characters, and some slick animation that pushed the limits of the technology at the time, producing some colorful and epic battle scenes, with a wide range of mutant powers and stories ripped straight from the original issues. Probably most well known for its telling of the Dark Phoenix saga, it continues through 5 seasons of increasing awesomeness, before losing it right at the end of the series as the animation underwent a minor change to modernize the series, before it was cancelled outright. This series holds up even to this day, and is an enjoyable watch for any fan of comics, or cartoons.
X-Men: TAS relied more on working voice actors as opposed to any big names from Hollywood, but the voices remain locked in a nostalgic bubble, and I guarantee any fan of the show will turn their head at the voice of Cal Dodd as Wolverine saying the name "Jean". Another memorable voice is Cedric Smith as Professor Xavier, or even George Buza as the Beast.
06) Justice League Unlimited
Building off the popularity of the DC Animated Universe up until this point, Bruce Timm and fellow creators brought us Justice League, which grouped the biggest names of the DC Universe on one team and built a solid base for the expansion of the series, known as Justice League Unlimited. While the original cast from JL still featured into nearly every episode, the expanded League brought a lot of second stringers up to bat, including a near starring role for one of my favorite DC characters, Green Arrow. Eventually the series resolved itself to tying up pretty much every left over story in the DC Animated Universe, and effectively connected the various series the revolved around the DCAU. JLU was also the last series to be a part of the DCAU's continuity, as new series like The Batman began production, creating a new continuity for those series. The sheer number of characters, and the way the series dealt with the problems associated with such a gathering of heroes made for some great television.
Some of the voice cast included longtime DCAU contributors like Kevin Conroy as Batman, George Newbern as Superman, Phil LaMarr as Green Lantern, Michael Rosenbaum as the Flash, Susan Eisenberg as Wonder Woman, Carl Lumbly as the Martian Manhunter, and Maria Canals-Barrera as Hawkwoman. Mark Hamill of course did a number of voices, including the Joker (we will talk more about him later… I've said that a lot, haven't I?), and the various characters included in the episodes were full of big name cameos and DCAU alumni.
That does it for the first half of the Top 10! A lot of great television, and a few series that are guaranteed to take you back to your childhood. Those were the epic fun times known as Saturday Morning that every kid remembers fondly. Hopefully this list is taking you back to that time, or at least giving you some ideas of what to watch next, just in case you may have missed out on these.
Next week we will finish off the list with the top 5 greatest superhero animated series, and I think you can probably guess a few of the series locking those spots down. Until next week!
