Jon and John Racing to Get Support for City Council
October 22, 2013, 4:45 pm
By Paige Browning
As the days count down to November 5th, city council candidates John Ahern and Jon Snyder are racing to find last minute support. Snyder is fighting to keep the council seat he has held for four years. Ahern is hoping to get involved on the city level after serving as a state representative.Incumbent Jon Snyder and challenger John Ahern do have some things in common. They both support hiring more police officers, refunding Fire Station 9, and think its time the ombudsman had more authority to conduct investigations.
The list that sets them apart is much longer. One example is whether to support the Mayor's recommended 2% property tax increase. Snyder supports it, because he says when the city refused the tax increase last year, cuts to public safety were way too deep because of it.
Snyder: "I think we saw the impact of those cuts with the loss of the fire engine 9 up on the south hill… I think we've also seen the loss of police officers as well. We have so few officers available and so many are pulling overtime."
John Ahern, on the other hand, prides himself on never voting yes for a tax or fee increase while in the state house. And there's only one way he would support a property tax increase.
Ahern: "Well, I look at it this way, put it to a vote of the people. And if they say yes, I'll back 'em 100%. But the biggest thing is you've got to do a selling job to the public."
But Ahern does want to see the police force grow. The mayor is proposing growing it to 300, and Ahern says he would like to see it closer to 315.
Ahern: "The number one purpose of government, no more no less, is protection of its citizens. You do that through fire, police, and your military. One, two, three."
Snyder's public safety goals tend towards a comprehensive approach. He wants to build upon the downtown improvement work the city started this fall.
Snyder: "And I think the big piece that is still to come, that is missing, is criminal justice. We have a criminal justice commission that in the next few weeks is going to give us some recommendations that I think will be another chance for us to make a dent in crime and have a positive impact."
Outside of public safety the two Jo(h)ns have different priority lists. John Ahern says he would focus on creating a fire station in the Eagle Ridge/Qualchan area. He wants to meet with the parks department to develop beautification plans for Riverfront Park. And, Ahern thinks Spokane should attract more business by flaunting the benefits of Spokane's business environment.
Ahern: "First of all to attract new businesses in here, we do not have an income tax in the state of Washington. We are one of about seven states that do not have it. Number two, we have the lowest electrical rates in the nation, bar none."
Jon Snyder, if reelected, would focus on topics he has stood by for four years. He's heavily involved in traffic related projects that have resulted in more bike lanes and neighborhood infrastructure like roundabouts. Snyder supports reviving more urban dead zones, like Kendall Yards did for west central. And, he says his big focus is walking.
Snyder: "I think a city that people love to walk in is a city that people love to live in. It means that they have places to go, it means that they have sidewalks in good repair, it means that they feel safe… We've gotta figure out where are the most important routes, we've got to figure out where we have the most use, and we still have handicap access ramps missing from downtown."
Candidates John Ahern and Jon Snyder are vying for Spokane's city council district two, which represents most of downtown up to the south hill. As far as who is the better candidate, Ahern will joke about his young, tender age- he's 78- but says he has experience, and experience counts. Snyder says he is a better candidate because he has specific ideas and says he understands government is about working for the people.

Soak the bread crumbs in water. Squeeze off any excess water until the bread has a spongy texture.
Pound the garlic with the salt in the mortar and liquefy it with a little water. If you are making it by hand, continue using a round bowl. If you are using a blender, tip the garlic mixture in, add the other ingredients and patiently blend them together. Add the oil slowly so that it emulsifies and the mixture thickens and becomes creamy. Check the seasoning and add more salt or vinegar if needed.
Pour the mixture into a serving bowl or pitcher. Cover it and leave it in the fridge. Just before serving, add ice-cold water until you obtain the desired consistency. Place the gazpacho in the center of the table with the garnishes in individual small bowls around it.

Marquis Z. Hodes, MD "Now that vine ripened fresh tomatoes are appearing locally this dish comes into it's own. Use a good sherry vinegar and don't stint. Once you make it you will want to repeat the experience at frequent intervals while the fresh veggies last."

Faith in the Great Spirit is a universal feature of indigenous – First Nations – peoples. It translates into an understanding of Holy Mystery significantly different from our conventional understandings of God – transcending all our inherited dualisms, and experience the Holy One deeply within creation's evolutionary process and not apart from it.

For an increasing number of Christians, an understanding of the story of the universe and what we know from science is enhanced by the "Christ Story" and the perspective of faith. Building on the insights of his well-received Repair My House: Becoming a "Kindom" Catholic, Michael Crosby will show how his faith makes the story of evolution part and parcel of "God's Economy" which must be the business of all of us.

Detroit, MI (WKZO) – Jose Iglesias' first game as a Tiger will be one he won't forget. Iglesias drove home the game winning run as the Tigers have extended their winning streak to a season high six games with Friday night's 2-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
Iglesias, acquired from the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday in a three-team trade, made the start at third base for Miguel Cabrera, as he continues to rest his injured abdomen muscle, and hit seventh in the Tigers lineup in his debut with Detroit. Most importantly he drove in Prince Fielder from third on a single for the Tigers' first run to break a 0-0 tie in the fourth inning. Austin Jackson's solo home run in the fifth accounted for the Tigers 2nd run.
Doug Fister made the start for Detroit and needed just 88 pitches to get through eight innings to pick up his 10th win of the year. Fister allowed just the one run on seven hits while striking out two and issuing no base on balls.
Joaquin Benoit tossed a scoreless ninth for his 11th save in 11 chances.
White Sox starter Hector Santiago (3-7) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings while striking out seven and walking one.
The Tigers have now won 10 of their last 11 games. Tigers and White Sox play the middle game of a three game series on Saturday. Max Scherzer (15-1, 3.01 ERA) takes on John Danks (2-8, 4.57). Coverage beings on 590 WKZO at 6:40.

I'm surprised nobody said anything about the doomguard. Talk about a lock nerf. You know, the more we go along in wraith the more it seems they really just want us to do things *their* way. Everyone is supposed be doing the same dps, the tanks are all the same, the healers are all the same but now have to worry about mana (along with everyone else). Honestly since 3.0 blizz has been a fun-suck. Meanwhile people are leaving in droves. Of the dozen or so blogs i used to read, 10 quite in either 3.0 or 3.1. My best friend is quiting, a whole bunch of guildies are quiting, WoW is definately dying for now.

This isn't even a real patch and they nerf warlocks. Granted, I haven't been playing affliction lately, so my doomguard stays in the chaotic ether somewhere.
What really gets me is that warlocks still are somehow on Blizzard's hit list. Off the top of your head, name a warlock buff in the past two years. Can't name one? Neither can I.
This gives me the distinct impression that Blizzard is moving in a new direction with warlocks. After all, we have mages for spell dps. I think they have one of the following in mind:
1- Warlocks become the first bandage-based healing class.
2- Soulshatter is removed, along with the aggro-decreasing talents. All warlock spells are given the same aggro multiplier as tank abilities, creating the first cloth-clad tanks.
The homogenization of the classes has hit warlocks particularly hard because they were unique. That and we're still paying the price of being OP in Burning Crusade. In the good old days, we had minions to tank and dps, and were a hearty cloth class with lots of health who had some nice self-heal abilities. On top of that, we could dps with the best of them. Now we've been slowly reduced to second-rate mages who get an extra vanity pet.
We'll give up our evil ways, Blizzard! Now can we gnome warlocks get some love?
Meh, who am I kidding? We're warlocks. We're evil.

Orlando–Some stats types are dismissive of the Hawks' Game 1 victory because of the way Hurricane Dwight scattered them and also because of all of those long jump shots they made.
Example: Mike Prada of SBNation.
Apparently, it is possible for an NBA team to allow a player to score 46 points and be universally praised for it. Dwight Howard ran all over the Atlanta Hawks' single-coverage, but because nobody else on his team decided to do much of anything, the Hawks came away with a Game 1 victory on the road. Howard and Jameer Nelson scored 73 points; everyone else on the Magic scored 20. Howard and Nelson shot 26-41; everyone else shot 8-34. It was a brilliant strategy by the Hawks to make sure that their horrible teammates had horrible games. Let's praise them for it!
Snark aside, the bottom line is this. Playing Howard straight-up and taking away the three-point shooters is a strategy. Allowing Howard to score 46 points and hope his teammates shoot 8-34 is not. Luckily, the Hawks shot nearly 50 percent from 16-23 feet and made it work. That doesn't mean it's a sustainable long-term strategy, but whenever writers are given the chance to question Howard's worth as a player for being just the 11th player since 1985 to score 45 or more points in a playoff game and lose, they'll take it.
I like the snark, especially in service of going against the grain to knock down memes. But Prada's take is pretty cynical. "Nobody else on the team decided to do much of anything" makes it sound as if the Hawks gave Dwight's teammates lots of opportunities and they just didn't take them. Similarly "hope his teammates shoot 8-34″ could instead be construed as "try to make sure they do." Isn't that the whole point of staying home on them?
And I hope no one is questioning Howard's worth as a player based on Game 1 (or based on much of anything, really). Heck, if I'm the Magic, I don't worry about getting anybody else involved if Dwight is hammering the Hawks again. Why give more chances to players who are not going to be as efficient? If Dwight has another monster game, the Magic could simply cut down on their turnovers, get more stops (which Stan Van Gundy acknowledges won't be easy because of the match ups) and win. If so, the Dwight Defense will have been conquered.
Game 1 is not an indictment of Howard's worth as a player. Instead, as Rob Mahoney noted at ProBasketballTalk: "This series could stand as an exercise [in] the limits of superstardom, as even a game-changing force like Howard is left a spectator to the shortcomings of his own teammates."
It's true the Hawks made a lot of long 2s but put that in the context that they made them at a higher percentage than any team during the regular season. It's a tad dismissive to chalk it up those Game 1 jumpers to luck when the Hawks have more skilled jump shooters than most teams (and when the Magic don't have the defenders to consistently challenge those shots). And much to my surprise the Hawks, thanks to J.J., were more than just a jump-shooting team in Game 1.
Van Gundy is a stats guy and also outspoken, so I thought he would shrug off Atlanta's ability to make the most inefficient shots in basketball over the long run. But he didn't do so.
"They are efficient with it," Van Gundy said. "A lot of people don't know that Al Horford, outside of 10 or 12 feet, he is the highest-percentage shooter in the league. That includes guards and guys like Nowitzki. Now he doesn't stretch it out to three but he can make those shots. . . . They have a lot of guys who shoot the ball very well from that range. If we can get them down below what they normally do then I think we have a hell of a chance."
Sounds like Van Gundy isn't only hoping the Hawks miss those shots but believes the Magic actually have to do something to stop them.

the postseason of the NFL and NBA is one in the same. whoever has the best defense/ running game=points in the paint trumps the passing game=16-23 foot jumpers and 3's. The jumpers and 3s can win a series but to contend for a TITLE you must be able to score inside and shoot free throws. The hawks can get by orl or mayb even chi with jumpers and decent d, but we can not score in the paint or get to the line like bos/mia/la/dal can.

I've been saying it since day 1 of the damn season. Atlanta is a better team than Orlando and the season series and game 1 so far has proven it. The trades the magic did was probably the worse big trades they could have done.

I swear….no one wants to give the Hawks any props. That a$$hole writer must be forgetting that the Magic play 4 guys who can't guard anyone on the floor. Good luck with the Redick/Johnson matchup, d-bag!
I'm starting to think that no team respects the Hawks. Dwight Howard said he hates losing to the Hawks, but watch him on the video prior to saying that. He pauses and says "you know what I mean…" I took that as his way of saying "It's the HAWKS, c'mon!"
I think this attitude is why you see teams like the Celtics, Knicks get so aggressive and want to bow up towards Hawks players. They think they are better. I've not seen A'mere try and be alpha male against any other team. But, play the Hawks and he is suddenly the toughest guy in the league.
Just a lack of respect. These teams think they are so much better….Magic is just another. Is going to be great sending these a$$holes home for the summer.

Can they make jumpshots all night again i dont kno but it was nice 2 see them drive 2 the basket a lil bit more instead of settling for a long shot .. The magic will come out more harder & intense on defense 2nite and maybe play a lil to aggressive . But on the other hand maybe that can open lanes to the basket only prob is Dwight is gonna be there .. If the shots are open then they will take them no doubt about that.. Maybe a lil elbow soreness will keep smoove from takin long jumpshots anyways..lol….LD dont make 2 many adjusments as long as what works then lets just keep it…

Refs: How about calling those offensive fouls on Dwight when he backs into and over anything in his way on his path the the basket? He had 5 offensive fouls in first half, if the rules were enforced.

Rod from College Park,
He coasts. I watch. I've seen him not go after balls, walk up and down the floor, and settle for jacking jumpers he can't make.
I'm not sure what you're getting at dragging Horford into the conversation. Considering he is known around the league as a talented, scrappy player, I think you are really, really reaching.
But….whatever….You're never going to change my mind on this. The conversation will just be like a dog chasing its tail. So, we might as well drop it. I know what I see.

Larry Drew doesn't strike me as a very smart man. First, he lets his son leave the UNC basketball team and drop out of school and now he uses improper English with the word irregardless. Horrendous!
April 19th, 2011
3:43 pm
We gotta have a must-win urgency tonight. We cannot be lackadasical with the belief that we stole homecourt. Let's win tonight then win at home at Philips and get ready for Chicago, who hopefully will have a long intense series with the surprising Indiana Pacers (Vogel is a solid coach)
April 19th, 2011
3:46 pm
"I'm starting to think that no team respects the Hawks."
We fans watch this team for 82 games every season, and most of us don't respect them either, at least not to the extent that would have allowed us to predict a playoff series win. I don't blame the national media for hating on the Hawks when they looked so lackluster for the last three months of the regular season and against every quality opponent. But part of the fun is that they can erase all that with a strong postseason, and they are off to a good start.
April 19th, 2011
3:46 pm
game 2 will be very tough to win. i thought the hawks could win game one now if they could somehow still a win tonight–this serious would be very hard for the magic to gain control. i'll be honest– i think the magic win in an easy fashion tonight. trust me i hope i'm so wrong and will be rooting for the hawks with my three sons. it's the playoffs–you just never know. one more in orlando should give us enough cushion to take the series.
go hawks!
April 19th, 2011
3:47 pm
Also, I think a team with a similar winning percentage and point differential as the Hawks that wasn't so willing to fold and was mentally and physically tougher would be more respected by the media and their peers alike.
April 19th, 2011
3:53 pm
If the Hawks manage to pull off the victory tonight, it really puts them in the driver's seat in this series. It would take a monumental choke job to lose this series if they go up 2-0 winning both on the road.
Easier said than done, though. I think the Magic are going to make every effort to shut Joe down and force him to make quick decisions out of the double team, and although Joe did a great job of being aggressive in Game 1, his season long track record says that he probably isn't going to keep that up for every game in the playoffs. If the Hawks win tonight I think it will be a grind it out game in the lower 80s. I'd be really surprised to see them approach 50% shooting again tonight.
April 19th, 2011
3:55 pm
Section 303,
Ok. Now that I know what you mean, again you can believe anything you want, but what you believe is fantasy.This years stats:
J. Smith – 2,644 min, 657 reb, 99 steals, 120 blocks, 255 ast, 1,274 pts
A. Horford – 2,703 min, 718 reb, 59 steals, 80 blks, 266 ast, 1,178 pts
So he does not go after balls, and is not scrappier than Horford, but he leads the team in steals, he walks up and down the floor, but he leads the team in blocks, and is second in rebounds. He settles for jackin jumpers that he can't hit, but shot a higher percentage from 3 than Joe, and Marvin, and is only one percentage point behind Jamal. He shot 47% from the field which is better than Carmelo, Durant, and Granger while playing a lot of the 3 position. All this while playing on a bad knee for about a third of the season, but you say he coast because you have season tickets. Again , I ask you this, if Josh coast, what do Marvin, Joe, Horford, Bibby, and Jamal do? They all play similar minutes, so why don't they put up similar numbers? Horford was brought into by Northcyde, and I agree with him.
"It's hard to criticize Josh Smith's effort out on the court. Even if he does coast at times, he also plays as hard as anyone on the team at times. It just seems kind of strange to criticize him on his effort, when he's the guy most likely to make hustle and energy plays.
If Josh coasts, what does Horford do?"
April 19th, 2011
4:05 pm
the hawks plan b revolves around posting josh and al. both have mismatches down low and so they need to take advantage of them when given the opportunity.
it was encouraging seeing jj slash into the lane and making quick, assertive decisions. we'll see if he's ready for a quicker double team this time around. guys need to be ready to take it to the hole strong when he that double comes.
April 19th, 2011
4:07 pm
it's not even a debatable. josh smith plays hard when he wants. i don't see how you're defending him. anyone that watches even a small number of games sees this. he hustles when its convenient for him to do so.
April 19th, 2011
4:20 pm
Rod the fact that Josh puts up those numbers is the issue that I think most have with . Although I dont get why numbers especially fg position means anything in this situation .
I the the proper question would be : What role does Josh need to fulfill for the hawks to be successful and does he devote all his passion and energy towards fulfilling that role 100% of the time ? I think the same could be asked of Al .
I will say though that I think both of then have been shell shocked this season . They scored a few points last year and thought they were ready to carry the team but I dont think either one realized how hard it is and how much was expected of them.
April 19th, 2011
4:22 pm
I think Josh coasts sometimes. But to put it in context, if you watch any NBA player closely enough, you will see that they coast too (with MJ, Kobe, maybe KG etc being the exceptions). Its the way of the NBA. Very few players go all out every game, so I wont hold it against Josh. I just think he needs to pick his spots a little better on defense.
Was it TMac who won the first 2 games of a playoff series on the road, and then said "it feels good to go to the second round"? Of course, they lost the series.
If Hawks go up 2-0, the Magic will have a hard time winning 4 out of 5 (since the Hawks won 4 out of 5 from them this year). But given the consistent inconsistencies of the Hawks, I wouldnt be surprised.
I hope the Hawks dont relax later just because they are guaranteed at least a split. The game is there for the taking. Let's take it tonight.
April 19th, 2011
4:26 pm
i don't think anybody is expecting josh to drink 10 bulls and run around like his pants are on fire for 48 minutes. there's a difference though between those who make an effort to run back and those that don't even try at times. it's those that put forth that extra effort to go after loose balls, to help out on a defender and run back…. i'm talking about putting forth effort in things that don't show up in that stat sheet. that's where josh is lacking. any coach can see it. that's why the guy is yet to be an all star. hubie brown always points out josh's lack of effort. it's plain as day folks. now when he's motivated we can see his potential. but it's more of tease than anything else.

Well Adjusted!
" Drew on adjustments for Game 2: "We are going to start the game as we did the last game. I am not going to panic with adjustments until we start getting hurt with things. Sometimes I think the tendency is to start making adjustments when there is no need to. I am not going to do anything out of the ordinary. If you have to make adjustments, do it but not if you don't have to."
Like I said yesterday, the only thing Larry Drew needs to do is adjust his jock – strap, until otherwise indicated. I'm glad he agreed, it is the prudent thing to do. Let SVG make their needed adjustments first, and see if it even works for them.
April 19th, 2011
4:28 pm
I think a lot of the sentiment towards Smoove comes from a) unrealistically high expectations as compared to his actual ability, and b) the fact that when he screws up it looks a lot worse than when other players on the team screw up.
First of all, there is a large contingent of Hawks fans who for some reason believe that just because he can jump out of the gym Smoove should be producing at the same or close to the same level as LeBron. Some people seem to think that anyone can develop ball skills and only athleticism is something that is inborn. But LeBron, Kobe, T-Mac, etc. had far superior shooting and ball handling skills to Smoove even as rookies. To his credit, Smoove has developed a lot of his ball skills from the abysmal level they were at in 2004 to at least a league average level now, but even after seven years of steady improvement he is nowhere close to where those players are, and it's mainly because he was nowhere near their level from the start.
Secondly, the casual fan sees Smoove shooting jumpers and groans because it's obvious that his jumper is one of the weaker aspects of his game, but they don't notice (or care) that Al passing up wide open shots or Joe taking five seconds to pass out of a double team hurt the offense just as badly. Combine that with the whiny face he makes when he complains to the refs and it rubs people the wrong way.
I'm the kind of guy who cares about production. If a guy is helping the team win, he can whine and complain all he wants and I don't give a sh-t. I realize this probably puts me in the minority. As for his effort, I don't have season tickets and I go to about 5-10 Hawks games a year, so maybe my opinion on the subject is less valid than people who are there every day (although it's not like TV gives you a whole lot less than what you can see from the 300 level). But from my vantage point Smoove plays about as hard as anyone else on the team — which is to say that when things are going well he plays hard, and when they are not he doesn't. I don't think this makes him very different from anyone else on the team, Al included. In an 82 game season, players do coast from time to time.
The one stat that is for the most part the result of effort is rebounding, and Smoove and Al have identical defensive rebounding rates this year. Al's offensive rebounding rate is higher than Smoove's, which presumably is due at least in part to him not having to play small forward for stretches at a time.
April 19th, 2011
4:30 pm
And I am only bringing up Al — who I like just as much as Smoove — in that post because he was brought up earlier, so don't try to paint me as some sort of Al-hater.
April 19th, 2011
4:33 pm
see sleepy's post above. he basically says exactly what i believe most hawks fans feel about j. smith. not any of the points just mentioned by najeh.
nobody thinks josh should be lebron. only josh thinks he has the same skill set as lebron. big difference. this is why people get fed up with him. play within the game young fella.

4:34 pm
"Was it TMac who won the first 2 games of a playoff series on the road, and then said "it feels good to go to the second round"? Of course, they lost the series. "
Haha… I think they were up 3-1 when he said that actually, and the Pistons came back and won the final three games of the series.
As a Hawks fan, it's better to have low expectations and be pleasantly surprised than to have high expectations and be inevitably disappointed.
April 19th, 2011
4:37 pm
If you look back at film of the game the only player on our squad who hit difficult shots was Jamal but thats how he plays . Everyone else was wideopen Als and Kirks shots and JJ mixed it up very well.
The thing about it is that none of our jump shots were hot they just made the shots that came there way throughout the course of the game .
April 19th, 2011
4:50 pm
What is the TV situation for this game? Since it is on NBA Tv, is the only other option to find a link online?
Also, I believe our best option is to get Howard into foul trouble. The Magic have no other option at center, so if we could get him out of the game, Horford should be able to do some damage on the inside.
April 19th, 2011
4:58 pm
The Hawks had the second biggest drop in TV ratings this year for any NBA team, behind only Cleveland. They are fifth from the bottom in rating share among all teams. ATL is a large enough market, though, that this doesn't put them in the bottom five in actual TV viewership.

LD, I'm not usually picky about grammar but you keep using this "irregardless" during interviews as though it is a legitimate word, which it is not. But if you win this game tonight, all is forgiven.

honest abe,
"there's a difference though between those who make an effort to run back and those that don't even try at times. it's those that put forth that extra effort to go after loose balls, to help out on a defender and run back…. i'm talking about putting forth effort in things that don't show up in that stat sheet. that's where josh is lacking. any coach can see it. that's why the guy is yet to be an all star."
No that is not why he is yet to be an all star. His is yet to be an all star because of the log jam of better scoring forwards in the east, as compared to Al being voted in as a center. Al would never have been an All Star as a power forward either. He is not better than Boozer, Bosh, Amare, Garnett, Pierce, or Lebron. Honest Abe, you are not being honest. If he does not put forth the extra effort to go after loose balls, then why has he led the team in steals the last two years? Does he possess some kind of magnet that makes the ball come to him? If he does not help out then how has he amassed over 1100 blocks in 7 years. There are a number of 6′8/6′9 guys in the league, why don't they all have those numbers. If Josh does not put forth extra effort, please tell me who on this team does?
I agree with you. In this case, stats do tell the whole story. Perception is not reality.

Going up 2-0 almost scares me more than 1-1. The Hawks may relax if we are up 2-0 and let the Magic back in the series. However, if we get 2-0 lead, I think the Magic will quit.
April 19th, 2011

I was the first one to say Hawks in 6 and I'm sticking to it.

Is No News, Good News? At Open Folklore, the Answer is Yes!Posted on Sat, 03/01/2014 - 2:01pm
The news page at the Open Folklore portal has been quiet. Is that a bad sign for the project and for open access in folklore studies? No, it is good news and here is the backstory.
Since the update of the Open Folklore portal site, the OF team has been focused on the project's longer term efforts. This noisy behind-the-scenes work has meant that we have been more quiet in public. But what is going on back stage? The OF team works to be open about the project, of course, so here are some updates.
Last May, in anticipation of an external assessment of the project, the OF team prepared a a background document titled "Open Folklore Project: Background Briefing for Consultants." You can now read this report yourself. Find it in IUScholarWorks Repository here:
Generous and talented colleagues Miriam Posner (UCLA, @miriamkp), Nancy Sims (U Minnesota, @CopyrightLibn), and Ethan Watrall (Michigan State U, @captain_primate) visited Bloomington for meetings with the Open Folklore team during July 2013. On the basis of their studies of the project, they authored the report "Open Folklore: Maintaining Momentum, Assuring a Future." It too is now accessible in the IUScholarWorks Repository. Find it here:
Because of travel problems, a fourth project consultant--Perry Willett (California Digital Library, @cpwillett)--was unable to reach Bloomington for the assessment meetings in June. He generously undertook an independent review of the project and its portal site. His report is also now available in the IUScholarWorks Repository. Find it here.
Since accepting these thoughtful and helpful reports, the project team has been working to implement and build upon the recommendations made by the consultants. Team efforts in pursuit of these project enhancements--both organizational and technical--accounts in part for our quietness.
In sync with these efforts, Open Folklore co-project principal investigators Julie Bobay and Timothy Lloyd have been participating in a series of gatherings and workshops on "sustainable scholarship" organized by Ithaka S&R--a research organization serving libraries, scholarly societies, academic publishers, and others interested in scholarly communication.
Plans for the future of Open Folklore are being developed in the context of two additional efforts. One of these is the National Folklore Archives Initiative. This connected and parallel project includes AFS and many partner organizations in the field. Building upon the work of its initial NEH funded phase, the NFAI is--like Open Folklore--planning its next steps. In early February, OF and NFAI project participants met together in Bloomington to coordinate joint work in partnership with the IU Libraries, which hosted the meetings.
In addition to NFAI, Open Folklore is in close dialogue with the Office of Scholarly Publishing at Indiana University. The OSP is a new campus unit that brings together the IU Press and the open access scholarly communications work of the IU Libraries. It thus holds much relevance for both Open Folklore and the field of folklore studies. Like OF and NAFAI, the Office of Scholarly Publishing, and the IU Press within it, are making ambitious plans for the future.
On top of all of this, Indiana University Bloomington is pursuing a number of key plans of relevance to Open Folklore. In addition to a new campus strategic plan, Indiana University has announced an ambitious program of digitization for all of its time-based media holdings as well as a new planning effort for the digitization of other campus holding.. As these include the full holdings of the Archives of Traditional Music and other collections of relevance to folklorists and local communities around the world, this is a big deal with immediate relevance to OF.
The takeaway is hopefully clear. A quiet news page is a consequence of a lot of work going on behind the scenes. If we stay quiet for a while longer, that is only because we are tackling some big and worthy items on the OF to do list.
New Version of the OF Portal LaunchesPosted on Sat, 10/12/2013 - 5:13pm
The following story has appeared on the AFS website. It reports on the launch of the new OF site, which you are now visiting.
The Open Folklore partnership of the American Folklore Society (AFS) and the Indiana University Bloomington Library (IUBL) has just unveiled a major update to the look and operation of its web site openfolklore.org. The new design simplifies the visual appearance of the site, and a number of underlying changes improve the site's search functions as well as its presentation of background information about scholarly communications in the field of folklore studies. Our thanks go to the AFS members and IUBL staff members who provided comments as part of this process or who took part in the beta-test of the new site.
Since 2010, Open Folklore has operated as a) a website; b) a scholarly portal providing access to open-access books, journals, websites, and gray literature in our field; c) a branding effort or unifying label for a collection of projects and efforts being pursued by AFS and IUBL to make a greater range of scholarly resources in folklore studies openly available for those who need them; and d) a case study for productive and effective collaboration between an scholarly society and an academic library.
Technology Lead Garett Montanez Interviewed About his Open Folklore WorkPosted on Sun, 10/21/2012 - 2:03pm

Digest: A Journal of Foodways and Culture Relaunches as Open Access TitlePosted on Thu, 09/27/2012 - 2:02pm
Many back issues of Digest, the journal of the Foodways section of the American Folklore Society were already available via IUScholarWorks Repository and discoverable via Open Folklore search, but the Open Folklore team is particularly excited to relay news that the journal has been relaunched as an open access journal title under the leadership of co-editors Michael Lange and Diane Tye.Congratulations to all involved in this exciting work. Read the full announcement and the new journal issue that it accompanies online at http://digest.champlain.edu/index.html.
The editors note in their recent editorial: "The new Digest is the result of collaboration between the Department of Folklore at Memorial University of Newfoundland and the professional programs at Champlain College in Vermont. This innovative cooperative model divides the work between the two campuses, maximizing the resources and skills of both. The content editorial work will be handled at Memorial, drawing on the knowledge and experience of the folklore faculty members and graduate students. The layout, design, and publishing work will take place at Champlain, where the skills of professional majors such as Graphic Design, Web Design and Programming present the journal's content in an attractive, functional, and professional form."
World Oral Literature Project, Open Book Publishers and UnGlue.It Release New, Open Edition of Oral Literature in Africa.Posted on Wed, 09/12/2012 - 2:00pm
The World Oral Literature Project, a "Friend of Open Folklore" organization, and the UnGlue.It project, in partnership with Open Book Publishers, has just released a new open access edition of Ruth H. Finnegan's book Oral Literature in Africa. This is the first book to be successfully "unglued" through a crowdfunding scheme with the aim of making the book permanently and freely available to all in an open access edition. The new publication is accompanied by an freely accessible online archive of supporting media presented and preserved by the World Oral Literature Project.Congratulations to everyone involved in this exciting project.
The book is available in PDF, EPUB and MOBI formats from both unglue.it and Open Book Publishers. Open Book Publishers is also selling a paperback and hardback edition. All versions are published under a CC-BY license.
It is particularly exciting that the world's first unglued book is a study of folklore and that so many non-folklorists and non-anthropologist joined in the work of making it freely available. Two hundred and fifty seven contributors came together to give this book to the world. The group includes distinguished people from many fields, including fiction, history, archaeology, law, librarianship and many others.
Catching Up With Open Folklore: Project Report Spring 2012Posted on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 1:59pm
Since the time of the fall 2011 report to the community, Open Folklore has continued its work to extend the benefits of open access to the folklore studies community and to the diverse stakeholders with whom folklorists partner. Here are some highlights on the project's work over the past eight months.
New Partners and New Harvested Content
Two new partners have joined the Open Folklore community as "Friends of Open Folklore." Scholarly content from these partners is now discoverable via the Open Folklore search tool.
HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theoryis now part of the Open Folklore universe. HAU is a new gold open access journal published by a consortium committed to the development of theoretical perspectives that are grounded in sophisticated ethnographic fieldwork. HAU is a new journal that launched last fall.
Another new partner is the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America, the scholarly association that publishes the journal Tipití. Tipití is the only refereed journal dedicated to the study of the societies of lowland South America. The journal has been published in its current form since 2003 and is being made open access through the Digital Commons repository at Trinity University.
Additional Content from the American Folklore Society
New AFS materials made available during the most recent reporting period include a collection of "Best Practice and Case Study Reports" deriving from a program of consultancies supported since 2009 with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, a collection of "Professional Development Publications," and a collection of society publications on the "History of U.S. Folklore Studies."
Extended runs of two more of the Society's section journals have also been made available in open access formats. These titles are Digest: An Interdisciplinary Study of Food and Foodwaysand the Public Programs Bulletin.
All of this AFS content has been deposited in the IUScholarWorks Repository and is thereby discoverable via Open Folklore Search. It can also be accessed via the IUScholarWorks Repository.
Open Folklore Content in Archive-It
The Open Folklore team continues to work to preserve key folklore studies-related websites through the Open Folklore collection in Archive-It, the media rich archiving service offered by the Internet Archive. This work has resulted in preservation copies of the websites for:
- The Center for Folklore Studies at the Ohio State University
- City Lore
- The Center for the Study of Upper Midwestern Cultures
- The Folklore Program at the University of Oregon
- The University of Wisconsin Folklore Program
- The American Studies Program at Penn State Harrisburg
- The Mid Atlantic Folk Arts Forum
- The Museum Anthropology Review Weblog
- The Alliance for California Traditional Arts
- The Peter and Doris Kule Centre for Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore
- The International Society for Folk Narrative Research
- The Civil Rights History Project
- Local Learning
- Folklife in Louisiana
- Keepers of Tradition
- Memorial University of Newfoundland Department of Folklore
- New York Folklore Society
- Folklore and Mythology Electronic Texts
- The University of Pennsylvania Graduate Program in Folklore and Folklife
- Georgia State University Heritage Preservation Program
These archived websites are in addition to those websites archived and announced previously. In-kind support from the Indiana University Bloomington Libraries makes use of the Archive-It service possible.
The Open Folklore team thanks Sara Naslund and Jennie Crowley, both students in the Indiana University School of Library and Information Science, for this excellent work on the OF Archive-It Collection during 2012-2013.
Outreach Activities
Since the last biannual report, the Open Folklore team has been busy speaking about the project in a range of venues.
Librarians from the Open Folklore team led two "Learning With Librarians" sessions at the AFS annual meetings in Bloomington. One was "An Introduction to Copyright, Intellectual Property, and Open Folklore" and the other was "An Introduction to Digital Humanities and Online Information Resources."
Last October, OF team member Moria Marsh presented "Open Folklore Project–Collection Development, But Not as Your Father Knew It" during the 2011 Archive-It Partners meeting in Louisville, KY.
At the 2011 meetings of the American Anthropological Association, OF team member Jason Baird Jackson presented "Another World is Possible: Open Folklore as Library-Scholarly Society Partnership" as part of the panel "Digital Anthropologies: Projects and Projections" and is now available on Jackson's website.
The Open Folklore project was one of a number of projects discussed at an April 2012 event hosted by the University of Minnesota Libraries, with co-sponsorship from the UMN Department of Anthropology. The event was titled Open Research and Learning: Collaboration, Connections and Communities and it focused on the social side of open access, open educational resources, and open research architectures and collaborations. In his remarks, OF team member Jason Baird Jackson discussed not only OF, but also the social nature of research-focused group blogs and the implications of new journal publishing strategies such as those central to the PressForward project and its associated Digital Humanities Now and Journal of Digital Humanities
In May 2012, Moira Marsh represented Open Folklore at a "Web Archiving Summit" held by invitation at Columbia University. This meeting included librarians and archivists from key institutions engaged in harvesting and archiving web content who discussed high-level programmatic issues of objectives, scope, policies,,and methods for this work.
Keeping in Touch
The OF Project Team, Strategic Partner, and OF Friends share the goals of keeping the community informed about work on OF and receiving continuous input and feedback. We will continue to use the OF news tools (Facebook, Twitter (@openfolklore), and especially the OF News section of the portal site) to share news about OF goals and next steps about every six months. Feedback and comments are always welcome by email, weblog post, Facebook comment, and good old fashioned mail (℅ either the IUScholarWorks Project at the IUB Libraries or the AFS Office).
HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory Joins Friends of Open Folklore; Now Searchable at OF Portal SitePosted on Thu, 05/10/2012 - 1:56pm
The Open Folklore Project is pleased to announce that HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory
is now a Friend of Open Folklore and is discoverable using Open Folklore search.
Launched in the fall of 2011, HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory is "an international peer-reviewed, open-access online journal which aims to situate ethnography as the prime heuristic of anthropology, and return it to the forefront of conceptual developments in the discipline." HAU is published by a consortium of parters known as the Network for Ethnographic Theory (HAU-N.E.T.). The current partners are the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS, France), the University of Sydney (Australia), the University of Manchester (UK), the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands), the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History, Institute of Social Anthropology, Oslo University, and the Department of Anthropology of the University of Canterbury (NZ).
HAU's Editor-in-Chief is Giovanni da Col of the University of Cambridge.
Because HAU is published using Open Journal Systems, a publishing platform that works with the Open Archives Initiative-Protocols for Metadata Harvesting, it is a relatively simple technical matter to set up a harvesting routine than results in all new content published by HAU (and other Friends of Open Folklore) becoming searchable via the Open Folklore search tool.
HAU is an exciting new publishing effort in the ethnographic disciplines, one that Open Folklore is happy to be partnering with. Like OF, the HAU team is eager to develop new approaches for increasing the reach and impact of ethnographic scholarship. Congratulations to the HAU team on their successful journal launch last fall and, more recently, on the establishment of a companion Masterclass Series.
Open Folklore Discussed as Part of UMN Forum on Open Research and LearningPosted on Thu, 05/10/2012 - 1:54pm
The Open Folklore project was one of a number of projects discussed at a recent event hosted by the University of Minnesota Libraries, with co-sponsorship from the UMN Department of Anthropology. The event was titled Open Research and Learning: Collaboration, Connections and Communities and it focused on the social side of open access, open educational resources, and open research architectures and collaborations.The basic information on the event is available from the UMN Library website.
In his remarks, OF team member Jason Baird Jackson discussed not only OF, but also the social nature of research-focused group blogs and the implications of new journal publishing strategies such as those central to the PressForward project and its associated Digital Humanities Now and Journal of Digital Humanities efforts.
Amazing presentations were offered by Doug Armato (Director of the University of Minnesota Press, focusing on the transformation of university presses in the context of shifts to open access approaches to scholarly communication), David Ernst (Director of Academic and Information Technology for the UMN College of Education and Human Development, describing the UMN's new open textbook project) and Lucy Fortson (Associate Professor, UMN School of Physics and Astronomy, discussing remarkably successful open data-based citizen science collaborations, particularly the Galaxy Zoo project and related Zooniverse projects). UMN Copyright Librarian Nancy Sims moderated the panel.
For those who are interested in a recap of the event, Barbara Fister has offered one in a new essay published at Inside Higher Education. She starts from the substance of the panel and proceeds to offer reflections on the nature of undergraduate learning and research in a changing information environment. Find her essay in Inside Higher Education.
General Lessons from the Open Folklore Project are the Focus of Recent Paper by Jason JacksonPosted on Fri, 02/10/2012 - 12:53pm
The Open Folklore Project's Outreach Lead Jason Baird Jackson has recently circulated a version of the paper that he delivered at the 2011 American Anthropological Association meetings in Montreal. The essay "Another World is Possible: Open Folklore as Library-Scholarly Society Partnership" was initially presented as part of the panel "Digital Anthropologies: Projects and Projections" and is now available on Jackson's website. In it, he argues for pursuing the opportunities that exist for scholarly societies and libraries to partner directly together to reshape the scholarly communication system in more sustainable and democratic ways. The paper characterizes the Open Folklore project as an example of such work that is already underway.
Barbara Fister Highlights Open Folklore in an Essay on the Future of LibrariesPosted on Fri, 01/13/2012 - 12:51pm
In an essay reflecting on the future of Libraries, written for Library Journal ("The Shock of the Old"), Barbara Fister has highlighted Open Folklore as one of many signs pointing to the kind of future that librarians and scholars want to build together. She writes:
I am encouraged by the launch of new platforms like PressForward and PressBooks and Annotum that seem to be popping up everywhere, creative and simple engines for publishing in new ways. I'm excited by Open Folklore and Invisible Australians and other projects that see openness as a feature, not a bug. Just as traditional publishers are gearing up for a digital future that limits access artificially to protect profits, innovative scholars are dreaming up new ways to share academic work.
Barbara has been one of the closest observers of the Open Folklore project. Her encouragement and feedback, especially in the context of her larger surveys of what is happening in libraries and scholarly communication have been invaluable. Her regular essays for Library Journal and Inside Higher Education are a major resource.

New York is on pace to add 99,000 jobs this year and, at last, household income has edged higher.
The commercial rent tax is a mess that can be traced to Rudy Giuliani and Sheldon Silver.

When retirees leave New York in droves their money, much of it in the form of taxpayer-supported pensions, goes with them.

Mark Lamkin with Lamkin Wealth Management shares 5 New Year's Financial Resolutions that will start your New Year out right.
New Year's Financial Resolution #1: Learn One New Thing About Investing This Year
Education is empowerment. As you learn more, you will naturally make better decisions. Empower yourself this year by learning something new. Here are a few ideas for where you can start:
New Year's Financial Resolution #2: Make Your Own Personal Financial Statement
You can stick your head in the sand, but trust me, when you come up for a peek, things won't be much different. A better choice is to make decisions by starting with a clear picture of where things stand.
One CPA I knew started with a negative net worth. That means he had more debt than assets. Within four years he had grown his net worth to over $1 million. He started by painfully looking at how he was spending his money and the debt he had accumulated. He put it all in a spreadsheet and tracked his progress every single month.
For step by step instructions on how to calculate your own personal financial statement you can read "How To Calculate Your Net Worth."
New Year's Financial Resolution #3: Spend Less And Save More
The temporary "feel good" that comes from spending isn't nearly as satisfying as the solid sense of self-respect that comes from spending wisely.
These articles are packed with ideas on how to spend less and save more.
New Year's Financial Resolution #4: Invest In Yourself
Whether it be improving your career skill set or upgrading your look, investing in yourself always pays off. For specific ideas, read:
New Year's Financial Resolution #5: Find The Right Financial Advisor
Do you realize the wrong financial advice, and the wrong financial advisor, could be costing you thousands of dollars a year? Do you know how your advisor is compensated? How does that compare to other advisors? Do they have the expertise you need?
Even if you prefer to do things yourself, the occasional check up from an advisor who charges hourly fees may provide you with some valuable tips.
It's difficult to know where to find the right person, or what questions to ask. "Step By Step Guide To Choosing The Best Financial Advisor" will get you started on the right path.
It may take more than a year to get through all five resolutions above, so start with one. The important thing is it's a new year. Don't make it just like the last one unless the last one went just right.

This phone's biggest plus point is that one can send SMS in virtually any South Asian language whereas most other (even expensive) phones do not want to support anything language other than Hindi or English.
Other plus point is expandable SD card support upto 16GB.
A few negatives:
1)Default language on phone book search sets itself to English and does not remember the previous setting - you may have to use language write options to set the language to other than English every time you want to search non-English contact names.
2)SD card suddenly got corrupted. So you should not rely on t... (Expand)
