Ends Thursday, November 22nd
3-D at The Loft is presented by Bookmans Entertainment Exchange!
"The movie features an enjoyably loony edge as it veers from cogent reminiscences to absurd fantasy sequences … which creates the impression of the Pythons' version of Yellow Submarine." – Eric Kohn, indieWire
"A colorful patchwork of family high and low points, schoolboy days, professional triumphs and assorted epiphanies." - Manohla Dargis, New York Times
"Has enough weird-wild-ride brio to convince you that Chapman was indeed quite a character." - Benjamin Mercer, Village Voice
Graham Chapman, probably best remembered as 'the dead one from Monty Python', writes and stars in the animated movie of his own life story, A Liar's Autobiography. He was born, he went to Cambridge and met John Cleese, he smoked a pipe, he became a doctor, he became a Python, he decided he was gay (well, 70/30, according to a survey he did on himself), he got drunk a lot, he stopped being drunk, he made some films, he had some sex (actually, a lot), and moved to Los Angeles. Finally, he was whisked up into space by aliens (although that might have been in a film). Although Chapman selfishly dropped dead in 1989, he had taken the trouble to record himself reading his book, A Liar's Autobiography, and those recordings have now ingeniously been used to provide Chapman's voice for the 3D animated feature of the same name. Fellow Pythons John Cleese, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam also turn up, playing themselves and other characters, along with a few surprise guests. Not a documentary, not a Monty Python film, A Liar's Autobiography is Chapman's own take on his bizarre life and his search for self-knowledge. Incredible, yes. Surreal, certainly. True, who knows? At his memorial service, John Cleese called Chapman 'a freeloading bastard'. Now, as the film re-unites Chapman with Cleese, Jones, Palin and Gilliam for the first time in 23 years, he is set to earn a new title the most prolific corpse since Elvis. (Dir. by Bill Jones, Jeff Simpson and Ben Timlett, UK, 2012, 85 mins, NR) HD Digital Presentation

Fifteen Favorite Things
September 28th, 2014
1: Tavi Gevinson on the Nylon "It Girl" cover. We met her and did crafts together when Rookie came through Omaha on their tour, and she posted a picture of Alice's pennant banner! Tavi called Alice a "rookie Rookie" and my heart melted. I also love the photos by Petra Collins and the intro by Hazel Cills. Writing for Rookie would be a dream. Let's just say I'm a huge fan and this is a great article. 2: Our new Pounce Boots. I've been waiting for these bad boys since February! 3: My hair is growing out (No reason? I just stopped cutting it I guess?) and my go-to style has been to curl sections of my hair with a 1'' iron and set them with these curl clips. It's so easy.
4: Anthropologie's lipstick line. The beautiful gold tubes! It stays on forever, too. 5: Our "2 Old 4 School" sweater. It's not that I'm too cool, but more that I'm too old. …I think it's hilarious. 6: Chocolate croissants. I like having one for breakfast every day.
7: Peppermint Altoids Smalls. I eat them all day. 8: Our new Black Widow Dress is now the sexiest thing I own. I rarely wear black dresses but this one is just smashing on my figure. 9: Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb forever. I keep a bottle on my desk.
10: The sheer top on our Glass Houses Dress makes me wear my pretty underwear as pretty outerwear which the world is grateful for. 11: Vintage stretch gold belts. I have gotten so many beautiful ones at Wallfower Vintage downtown. 12: Our Hire Me, Fire Me t-shirt from Portland designer Flunk Life is always my go-to these days for business meetings.
13: I have super sensitive skin and I'm the palest of pale, and I've never found a foundation that worked for me before Cover FX. It's really matte and creamy and doesn't exacerbate my rosacea or acne. MAC always made me break out, and Lancome and Make Up For Ever never had the right shade. I like this one. 14: I'm close to paying off my Hello Holiday business loan, at which time I will start saving for this vintage ring as a gift to myself. I never really had a wedding ring, and it reminds me of the flower bouquets that got me started as an entrepreneur. 15: My brother gifted me this Defender Flashlight, a great self-defense weapon I hadn't heard of before. I keep it in my purse. The head can be used to beat the shit out of someone, or you can shine it in someone's face as they walk toward you and temporarily blind them!

While we love the idea of uninterruptible power supplies, it can be a tough sell. Who wants to spend the extra cash on something that doesn't make concerts and explosions bigger or louder?
Well, if you've ever been zapped (like I have), the sell is not so hard. APC is enticing a bit more by making the Back-UPS ES 750 available for the affordable price of $100.
The big hook is not just the ES 750's price tag or promises that it will save your current equipment from getting fried, but it can also save you a couple of bucks by cutting off power to unused peripherals when your computer is resting comfortably. APC says the savings is about 40 bucks a year. It's not much, but add in the bragging rights on how you are "doing your part" when it comes to the environment—and can you really put a price on that?
Engadget says that other features include 10 power outlets and 450 watts of power, which translates to 70 minutes of runtime.
The Back-UPS ES 750 will be available next month.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
New speakers and audio components with DTS' wireless technology are expected in 2015.

"In 'Somebody Will' I wanted to get across why I see sci-fi and fantasy fandom as a more positive, productive world than many of the hobbies and communities common in our culture. [...] The hardest part of the piece is singing it to the end without crying."[more inside]
Why has there been only one non-white Worldcon chair? Because science fiction fandom is not welcoming to non-white people, because con-running has not done enough to address its own lack of diversity, because people would rather believe that fandom is inclusive than force it to become inclusive.Jonathan McCalmont writes on institutional racism in the science fiction fandom.

Half of me wants to take a nap and rest on the sofa after work. The other half wants to go, go, go. It's my "rest" day which is a nice way of saying I only have to go for a walk or bike ride for 60 minutes. Honestly, I don't feel like doing either. I'd like what's behind curtain #3 Bob.
Well, I got all hot and sticky in step class tonight. It was tough but fabulous!!
WOW . . . I knew having a new step instructor would make a difference and I was right. She had lots of energy and a whole new routine. Plus, class is no longer 30 min. but 45 min. of step and then 15 min. of ab work - killer.
My body was ready to quit when we hit the 30 min. mark so I really had to dig deep and keep on moving. This is going to take some getting used to and I am going to enjoy every minute of the challenge.
I had a light bulb moment today and everything got a little brighter, if only for a moment.
I fight fatigue and sluggishness daily. It's not due to lack of nutrition, sleep, dehydration, or any of those key indicators. In 2008 the fatigue became crippling in every way. Finally one day at my Chiro's office I broke down in tears and told her about my situation. She had me meet with her associate and after various tests we discovered a list of foods that I am intolerant to. I quickly "quit" those foods and I found my spunk again.
Two years later my fatigue has returned and I fight to stay awake, often wanting to shake my head to try to clear the fog. With this mysterious fatigue comes phantom hunger. I know my body well enough to know when I'm hungry and when I'm not. I equally know that when I'm tired and sick my body wants food - the bad stuff. SIGH.
So today, as I walk back into the office from my afternoon stroll, it finally hit me . . . I'm tired. I've been tired for weeks now. It also dawns on me that I'm looking for food at the weirdest times or find myself unsatisfied after eating. Being tired, without explanation, makes it easy to want to skip any physical activity and being hungry due to the fatigue makes it easy to just blindly eat. I fight to stay in control!
Sunday I finish the home thyroid testing and will meet again with Doc early next week. I am interested more than ever to discuss the thyroid testing and the latest developments. I want the madness to stop.
On an unrelated note: We have a new step instructor at the gym, tonight is her first class. I'm excited! Plus, the class will now be 60 minutes long - 45 min. of step & 15 min. of Ab work. I can't wait to get hot and sticky . . .
I wrote this once, posted it, then lost it.
My mom is going into surgery to have both knees replaced on Thursday. Not on the same day but within a 10 day period of time.
I'm struggling with guilt due to just finding out yesterday that she is going to be in the hospital for 10 days and will be there alone a lot of the time. The family farm is an hour away from the hospital and she is encouraging my dad not to come visit her every day. He dislikes hospitals and it's an hour each way to visit - not a good combination.
I could tell yesterday that she is anxious about the surgery and I could do little to ease the anxiety. She was, for over 40 years, a surgical nurse and has first hand knowledge about what happens during these surgeries. The knowing is part of the problem.
She is also concerned about how my dad will handle all of this. I chuckle at that because the "old man" is self reliant. I mean come on, he runs a farm in Iowa complete with cattle and field work at age 74. He'll be fine! I think it will be stressful to be apart from one another, somewhat helpless in the situation.
Mom has prepared herself as best she can. She is naturally thin, too thin if you ask me, and has diligently went to therapy to strengthen her muscles. The worst thing she consumes is coffee and that's so weak it barely counts.
Why the surgery, age and years of hard work. Between sports, farm work and 40 years standing on her feet in surgery it can all take it's toll plus genetics are playing apart.
She has put the surgery off for a year and knows it's time. Again, it's just the knowing what they actually due to complete the surgery that's messing with her mind. She used to tell frightened patients that they will feel 100% better after it's said and done and will wonder why they didn't have it done sooner.
Anyway, I'm struggling as her daughter. I feel I should be there, even if to be a warm body in the room when she wakes up from a nap. I was there during another surgery she had, it was tough to see her hurting, but it did us both good to lean on each other.
She's given me the world . . . I should at least give her my time!
I'll continue to look for a plane ticket. The hospital is a cab ride away from the airport should I choose to go. I might just need to fly away home so I can ease my soul and stop struggling.
If I end up not going I'm going to be putting together a few care packages for her and will call her lots.
Guilt is a wicked emotion!
The rain falls, the sky is gray, and it's cool outside . . . I sit staring outside wondering what excuse can I come up with so I won't have to go to the gym. Think, think, think.
I log onto SP to log my breakfast calories and checkout what everyone else is up to - It's now pushing 11:00 a.m. Then I hear it, "babe, get off the computer and go the gym already" and I literally laugh out loud.
I get up, get it together and with my best 3 year old imitation I say in response, "Fine, I'm going to the gym BUT I'm driving - NOT walking today." All I hear is a belly laugh and well wishes for me to have a good time.
For the love of working out . . . when will I turn that corner when I no longer try to think of reasons not to do it but rather crave to do it?
The elliptical workout was fabulous and I pushed my limits when I was on the bike today. I do enjoy it but it's a struggle to get there and do it.

Immunizations (vaccines) prevent diseases that can make children very sick, cause lifelong disabilities and even death. They prevent diseases by making the body resist them. This helps your child stay well.
Immunizations also protect others. When more people have been given vaccines, diseases that can be prevented by them cannot spread as much. This protects people with weaker immune systems, pregnant women and babies who cannot get vaccines.
Some vaccines prevent diseases that are no longer common in the United States, but these diseases are still common in other parts of the world. The diseases can travel to the United States when people visit other places and return home.
Some parents are unsure about whether to give their child immunizations. If you have questions or concerns after reading this, talk with your child's healthcare provider or visit the resources listed at the bottom of this page.
Yes. Vaccines are tested for years before they can be used. Vaccines continue to be studied even after they are approved for use.
Some children may have minor reactions to shots. These can include a slight fever or soreness where the shot is given. Serious reactions are rare. Your doctor or nurse can give you information on the benefits and risks of vaccines. The important thing to know is that getting the disease is much more harmful than getting the shot.
The hepatitis B vaccine is often given at birth. Most other shots are given starting when your child is 2 months old. Your child may get vaccines as part of well-child checkups or during visits for minor illnesses. Vaccines may be given even if your child has a cold, mild fever or is taking antibiotics.
For the best protection, start the shots on time and complete each series. The immunization schedules for children and teens are updated each year. It is best to follow these schedules. Visit this CDC page to view the schedules. There is one for 0-to-6-year-olds and one for 7-to-18-year-olds.
A child who has never been immunized or who has missed some shots can still catch up. Talk to your child's doctor or clinic.
Keep a copy of your child's shot record. When your child starts child care, school or camp in Washington state, you'll need to have a record of their immunizations. Call the Family Health Hotline at 800-322-2588 to get a free Washington State Lifetime Immunization Record Card.
You can comfort your child while they get shots. If you are afraid, ask your spouse or a close friend or relative to come with you and your child. By keeping calm, you will help your child be less scared.

1985 - 2005
20 years since The Young Gods formed, you might have expected the rest of the rock world to have caught up with them. Instead, it has receded, as if in fear of the 21st century, into the retro, the kitsch, the neo-conservative, the corporate facsimile of yesteryear.
The Young Gods are further ahead than ever.
TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY XXYTo mark their twenty years of existence, The Young Gods will orchestrate a yearlong series of celebrations and events. The group will release a Best Of cd, which will be followed by a new album in April 2006. It will also present a number of performances, including the « New Repertory » concert, the « Classical Repertory » concert in the company of a small symphonic orchestra, « Aquanaut », « Amazonia Ambient Project » and « TYG Play Woodstock ». The diversity, precision and quality of their register bespeak prodigious creativity and exemplary open-mindedness.
NEW REPERTORYThe Young Gods in concert, in power trio formation, present their new repertory, accelerator to the floor, and eyes gleaming with risk. Half the songs are new, and will be released on disk in 2006. These multifaceted compositions sparkle like diamonds. The Gods mastery of sound is such that they make the clothes of concertgoers vibrate. The surprise comes from the emphasis on guitar sounds.
CLASSICAL REPERTORYThis performance presents a Best Of repertory interpreted by The Young Gods accompanied by a small symphonic orchestra. The most savage electronic rock lovingly embraces classical academic musicianship. In their symphonic presentation, The Young Gods compositions deploy their full splendour.
AQUANAUTThe show was commissioned by the Geneva Science Museum to explore the theme of water. It is conceived by and performed with Loopmatic, a duo of artists from the experimental film scene, Caroline Suard and Stéphane Detruche. They work with 16mm film and project loops of images which they create and sometimes transform via extreme chemical treatment. The Young Gods play along with the images in a 6-point spatial arrangement of sound developedby their sound engineer Bertrand Siffert. The result is an entrancing visual soundscape.More infos
AMAZONIA AMBIENT PROJECTA sonic conference based on the experiences of anthropologist Jeremy Narby. It deals with Amazonian reality and its current implications for ecology, shamanism and the dialogue of cultures. For this performance, The Young Gods are in small formation (computer, sampler and percussion), as they mix excerpts from their ambient album « Music For Artificial Clouds » with sounds recorded in the Amazon: a live work of electronic improvisation. This performance, which was showcased at the World Cultural Forum in Sao Paulo, can be presented in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese or German.More infos
THE YOUNG GODS PLAY WOODSTOCKIn this performance, the band plays a live soundtrack as the film « Woodstock » is projected onto a giant screen. They replay musical sequences from the film, manipulate voices, remix the original soundtrack, all in perfect synchronisation. Thus, Crosby, Stills and Nash perform industrial rock rather than crystalline folk, and Jimi Hendrix distorts the national anthem of
Switzerland. In this hybridization of electronica and rock, The Young Gods deploy their sonic skills with crowd-pleasing panache.
EUROPEAN TOUR XXYFROM OCTOBER 2005 THROUGH FEBRUARY 2006The Young Gods will crisscross Europe, performing from Prague to London, via Lisbon and Milan. Check it!

For years now there's been a constant war between Microsoft supporters and Oracle supporters. Oracle has these features, SQL Server has these features, etc. But that's not really where the real importance lies. Sure, functionality is a part of it because your database should be able to do what you need it to do. However, do you want to know what the real difference between the two companies is and why Microsoft has made such a strong impact in the industry?
The answer is simple: information. Microsoft has built such a strong community and its members are committed to helping each other. There are so many forums out there you just don't have time to go to them all. And one of the most amazing things I've found is that the MSDN forums are actually sharked by Microsoft's own PSS and dev teams. You just can't get any better than that. You've got both the guys on the support team, and the guys who actually write the code helping you with your problem. You've got MVPs out there writing new and exciting books like crazy. They're really giving up all the secrets on how SQL works, and what you can do with it.
Oracle is still living in the old days where everything is a good ole boys club. This is the world of Linux and Unix where they started, and it's a dinosaur, man. You just can't afford to do business like that anymore. You have to open up your community and start programs to encourage your best people to help and teach.
If you take any 10 DBAs from each side and ask them to look up a solution to a problem on their platform, the SQL guys will find the answer much faster than the Oracle guys will. And that's just a fact. If you're looking on specifics on how Oracle works internally, it's almost impossible to ferret out the info, but with SQL, there are so many open resources it's just a matter of a few minutes to an answer.
Microsoft also has a Connect Web site where users can enter in bugs and feature requests, and these requests go straight to the dev team. Your voice gets heard.
So the real difference between these two platforms is community. Microsoft has gone to great lengths to build a community and really support it. And Oracle is still doing business the old way. It's almost like Oracle's still proud that they're holding on to the good ole boys club. They're proud of how complicated everything has to be in Oracle. Knowledge is for the few and the special. And this attitude is pervasive in third-party vendors as well. Look at all the vendors out there making video training. I haven't seen any for Oracle, but SQL has tons. OK, I've seen a couple for Oracle, but they're all that old style CBT from the 1990s. But there aren't any high-level Oracle people out there making video training that's affordable for the end user.

Kazakhstan's OSCE Chairmanship 2010
Kazakhstan's OSCE Chairmanship 2010
Final ReportBy Janusz Bugajski, Margarita Assenova and Richard WeitzJan 26, 2011
This report provides an end-of-year assessment of the 2010 Kazakh chairmanship of the 56-nation Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The CSIS-IND Task Force has provided extensive analysis and comprehensive recommendations to the Kazakh government in order to assist it in providing effective leadership of the OSCE. Most of these recommendations, particularly on the potential agenda of the chairmanship and subsequently the OSCE Summit, were implemented by the Kazakh OSCE chair. Due to the extensive review of earlier developments found in previous CSIS-IND reports and policy briefs, this report focuses on events during the last months of 2010, especially the December 1–2 OSCE Summit in Astana and the preceding review conferences. Examining the direction, activities, and priorities of the 2010 Kazakh chairmanship of the OSCE also provides insights into the challenges facing the organization, the region it encompasses, and its member states.Publisher CSIS/INDISBN 978-0-89206-624-7 (pb)Regions

Phillies running out of time and ways to blame Pat Burrell as they hit Atlanta
September 12 2006
The Phillies will be in
Atlanta tonight for the first of a three-game series. The Phils come in at
72-71 and in third place in the NL East. They trail the Mets by 16 games
and are a half game behind the Florida Marlins. In the hunt for the Wild
Card, the Phillies are 2 1/2 games behind the Padres and again trail the
Marlins by a half game with 19 games remaining. If the Padres
were to go .500 in their remaining 20 games, they would finish the season at
84-74. The Phillies would need to go 12-7 in the games they have left to
tie them, and still would have to outplay the Marlins and the Giants to make
the playoffs. The Giants have moved into a Wild Card tie with the Phillies
with an identical 72-71 record.
Both the Braves and Phillies have had a good offense and struggled with their pitching this year. The Phillies have scored the most runs in the National League, the Braves have scored the third-most. Phillies pitchers have allowed the fourth-most runs, while Braves pitchers have allowed the sixth-most.
The teams last met earlier this month when they split two double-headers in two days on September 2 and 3. Both of the games the Phillies lost they lost in dramatic fashion. The first game was lost after Arthur Rhodes, who now appears lost to the Phillies for the season, surrendered a two-run home run in the top of the ninth to Adam LaRoche, giving the Braves a 4-3 lead. The second loss in the series came after Carlos Ruiz threw Pete Orr's bunt into left field in the top of the 11th and the Braves went on to win 3-1.
Rhodes's season with the Phillies was a disaster and his loss chipped a great big hole in the middle of Charlie Manuel's playbook. Manuel is no doubt searching high and low for a mason to fix it, cause it appears for all the world to have been written in stone. With Rhodes gone for the year, Manuel is going to need to trot somebody else out there in the eighth, and I can't imagine who it's going to be. Geary and Fultz seem to be the guys he has faith in, although Fultz has been awful and making him the eighth inning guy would be a disaster. Madson seems like a candidate. There only seem to be two other guys he's willing to regularly put into a game, Rick White and Matt Smith. I can't imagine we'll see White in the eighth and I think Smith lacks the experience Manuel looks for in a guy who gets battered near the end of a game. Not necessarily in the eighth, but if we're voting about how to deal with the pen I still vote for more of the guys we don't usually see -- Condrey, Castro and even Sanches and Brito. They may get shelled but at least it will look different. At least with them you wouldn't have to worry on every pitch that they're about to suffer a season-ending injury, which is about where I am with Geary, Fultz and Gordon at this point.
For the Braves, Chipper Jones continue to struggle with problems with his oblique after he reinjured his side against the Phillies on September 3. He may play some time this week, but it looks unlikely he will see much time against the Phillies. Andruw Jones didn't play on Sunday due to a sore back, but played in Monday's games against the Cubs. Adam LaRoche was out yesterday with a strained hamstring and is day-to-day.
Randy Wolf (3-0, 4.97) faces righty Kyles Davies (2-5, 7.56) tonight. Over his last three starts, Davies has gone 9 1/3 innings, allowing 18 earned runs on 24 hits. One of those starts came against the Phillies. On September 2 the Phillies battered him for seven runs on ten hits in 2 1/3 innings on their way to a 16-4 win. Lieby hit a two-run homer off of Davies that day. Righties are hitting .340 against Davies on the year. Wolf last pitched in Houston on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over six innings. He hasn't allowed a home run in his last two starts. In seven of his eight starts he's allowed three or fewer runs. Righties are hitting .318 against him and lefties .037. He still hasn't shown he can consistently go deep into games, throwing six or fewer innings in seven of his eight starts. That's a big problem considering the current state of the Phillies pen.
Jon Lieber (7-9, 4.99) faces righty Tim Hudson (12-10, 4.85) tomorrow night. Hudson pitched on Friday against the Cubs, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over six innings. Only one of the four runs was earned. He started one of the games in the Sunday, September 3 double-header against the Phillies and went seven innings, allowing six runs on six hits including three homers as the Phillies beat the Braves 8-7. Ryan Howard hit three bombs off of Hudson that game. Lieber pitched well after the first inning in his last start. It came against the Marlins on Thursday and he wound up going 5 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits after giving up three runs in the first inning. His resurgence has tailed off a bit of late. Over his last three starts he's allowed ten earned runs on 25 hits in 19 1/3 innings (4.65 ERA). No matter what he does in his last four or five starts, Lieber isn't going to be able to get his numbers for the '06 season down to the levels where they look respectable.
Jamie Moyer (8-13, 4.32) faces lefty Chuck James (9-3, 3.57) on Thursday night. James has been awesome of late, allowing two or fewer earned runs in seven consecutive starts. He last pitched on Saturday against the Cubs, allowing two earned runs over seven innings. Righties are hitting .212 against him and lefties .303. On the season, Burrell is 2-for-5 with two homers against him. Moyer is 2-1 with a 3.95 ERA for the Phillies after four starts. The best of the four starts came on his last outing, which came on Friday against the Marlins. Moyer got the win, going eight innings and allowing a single run on five hits and no walks. In his four starts with the Phils, Moyer has allowed two home runs and both of them came in his single appearance at home.
The Phillies need to win this series in a big way -- their playoff hopes are hanging on by a very thin thread. Burrell and Dellucci are both struggling horribly, and the Phillies need both of them. They need them really soon. The problem isn't where they're hitting in the batting order, it's that they're not hitting. They Phillies need them to hit. Over the last few games the best hitting corner outfielder on the Phillies has been Jeff Conine, and he just turned 40 and hit three home runs in 335 at-bats last season. The Phillies can't both get no offense from third base and no offense from their corner outfielders and expect to win. Even if the Phillies offense does spring back to life against the Braves, the pen is in tatters. Maybe the news guys, Smith and Castro especially, can do it. I don't know. I am pretty sure that Fultz, Geary and Gordon shouldn't be relied on for much longer.

BOSTON (February 19, 2008) — A Simmons College professor whose research over 30 years sheds light on library service quality and satisfaction, government information, leadership, and research as an inquiry process, has been named the 2008 national Academic/Research Librarian of the Year by the Association of College and Research Libraries.
The association, a division of the American Library Association, said the body of work done by professor Peter Hernon at the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science spurred libraries around the nation to improve their services.
Hernon has written extensively on improving library services and leadership, and is the author of more than 270 publications, including "Assessing Service Quality: Satisfying the Expectations of Library Customers," which won the Highsmith Library Literature Award. He is co-editor of "Making a Difference: Leadership and Academic Libraries" with Simmons assistant professor Nancy Rossiter. His latest co-authored work is "Academic Librarians as Emotionally Intelligent Leaders."
"He informs us and helps us to face the challenges that lie ahead. He helps us to determine the role of libraries and librarians in the future," said award committee chair Cynthia Steinhoff in the association's announcement.
Hernon is currently lead professor in a new doctoral program at the Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science on managerial leadership in the information professions. He is also the founding editor of "Government Information Quarterly," a journal that presents refereed research, analysis and discussion of current government policies and practices, and co-editor of "Library & Information Science Research," a quarterly journal published by Elsevier. He has traveled and lectured extensively in countries such as New Zealand, Great Britain, Canada, Finland, Portugal, Spain and South Africa.
The Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science was established in 1902 and today is one of the oldest and largest graduate schools of library science in North America. The school has more than 9,000 alumni in library and information science positions around the world. Simmons College is a nationally recognized private university located in the heart of Boston.

The Minotaur—whose real name was Asterion, meaning "the starry one"—was a man-eating monster with the body of a man and the head of a bull. How's that for an image? Well, hey it's not his fault. His mom, Queen Pasiphae of Crete, was cursed to fall in love with a magical bull sent from the sea by Poseidon. See, her husband, King Minos, offended the sea god, so he thought this would be the best way to get revenge (and he was kind of right—canoodling with a bull? ew). Born out of a very troubled relationship, Asterion was such a problem child that Minos (not his biological dad, mind you) ordered the genius Daedalus to build an inescapable Labyrinth to imprison the bull-boy. Nightmare! The Minotaur spent his life trapped in the Labyrinth, dining on whatever human sacrifices Minos decided to chuck in there at him, until the monster was finally slain by the Athenian hero Theseus. Sad end to a pretty sad life.

Birmingham City boss Lee Clark is preparing for a host of summer exits as the Blues look to tighten up their wage bill.
Curtis Davies and Nathan Redmond have already attracted top-flight attention, while the likes of Marlon King, Darren Ambrose, Hayden Mullins and Peter Lovenkrands are also tipped to be offloaded before the transfer window closes.
Although no offers have been confirmed, Premier League new boys Hull City are reported to be chasing Davies' signature and Clark admitted there has been interest in a number of his players.
"There have been a few enquiries about them," he told the Birmingham Mail.
"We have said to the four lads about the free transfers and there have been one or two calls.
"There's not yet been anything concrete. We're still waiting on that.
"They're experienced, top-quality players though, so I presume there will be interest in them."

PORT ST. LUCIE -- Palm Pointe Educational Research School in Tradition received honors from two different sources recently.
The first came when Erik Henik received news that he was one of five finalists for the state school-related employee award.
Mr. Henik has been with St. Lucie Public Schools for seven years, and has worked five years as the plant manager for Palm Pointe Educational Research School in Tradition. Previously, he worked at Rivers Edge Elementary School as an assistant site foreman.
He was surprised on April 16 at school by Superintendent of School Michael Lannon, School Board Chairman Debbie Hawley, Assistant Superintendent Helen Roberts, Education Foundation Executive Director Jim McKenzie and Candace Stone, chairman of the district employee recognition committee.
Mr. Henik said his goal is to provide a clean, safe and efficient facility that set the standard for the district. He oversees a staff of 10 employees, and maintains the 32-acre property. He also collaborated with the architect and construction project manager during the planning and building of Palm Pointe.
The state winner will be announced later this month by the Florida Department of Education
A few weeks, later, Port St. Lucie Mayor JoAnn Faiella presented a Golden Apple award to the school on April 24, in recognition of the hard work and excellence of the students, teachers and staff for achieving the state's highest rating for a public school.
According to the Florida Department of Education's school accountability report for 2012, the school received an "A' grade.
Palm Pointe is a St. Lucie County Charter School that serves kindergarten through eighth grade.
After the presentation, the teachers and staff were treated to lunch, courtesy of the 19th Hole and Sandpiper Room in Port St. Lucie.
"Our faculty and staff go above and beyond," said Palm Pointe Principal Debra Snyder. "It takes a team to make us successful."

PSNC Energy Offers Tips for Holding Down Heating Costs
Angie Townsend
Gastonia, N.C., Jan. 24, 2013 …
Cold weather will always put heating systems to work, but there are some tried and true tips that can help homeowners hold down their heating costs.
Set the thermostat at 68°F. Each degree above 68° can significantly increase heating costs.
Consider installing a programmable thermostat that automatically lowers the temperature even further than 68° overnight or while no one is at home.
Caulk around windows and replace old weather stripping around doors to keep the cold air out.
Check air filters. Dirty air filters increase your energy usage and can also damage your heating system. Be sure to use filters approved for your specific system.
On sunny days, open curtains on your south-facing windows to allow sunlight to naturally heat your home. Close them at night to reduce any chill or drafts.
Although winter is well underway, it's never too late for PSNC Energy customers to enroll in the company's budget billing program. This program can help customers avoid fluctuations in their bill, particularly weather-related ones. Here's how it works:
Based on a home's usage history, PSNC Energy will estimate bills for the next 12 months and spread that amount into 12 equal payments.
For more details on the Budget Billing program or to sign up, customers can call toll-free at
or visit
PSNC Energy is always ready to help customers weather the effects of bitter temperatures. Customers with any payment concerns are urged to contact the natural gas utility – preferably before the due date.
PSNC Energy customer service representatives can be reached 24 hours a day, seven days a week by dialing toll-free:
PSNC Energy, headquartered in Gastonia, N.C., is franchised to serve a 28-county service area in North Carolina. The utility distributes natural gas to approximately 497,000 customers in 96 cities and communities, including the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill areas in the north central part of the state; the Concord, Statesville, Gastonia, and Forest City areas in the Piedmont; and the Asheville, Hendersonville, Brevard, and Sylva areas in the western part of the state.

What will happen when?
On our wedding day (Saturday 5th October) we have invited guests to arrive from 2pm onwards. The ceremony will take place at 3pm according to Bulgarian law. After that we will make some vows in English. If weather permits this will happen in the Residence garden. There will be a buffet with mixed British and Bulgarian cuisine from 4pm onwards, and some inept attempts on our part (hopefully better by our Bulgarian guests!) to dance "horo", a traditional Bulgarian circle dance. In the evening Mr Roy Godding will be master of karaoke ceremonies.
Wedding gifts
Are not required! The presence of our friends and family is the best present we could have. We are also certain to be living somewhere smaller next year and are trying not to accumulate too many possessions.
If you would like to get us something, we would suggest a copy of your favourite song/album or film. We love listening to music and watching movies and this is a chance to extend our collection with recommendations from friends. If you tell us what you particularly like about the music or film, we will think of you as we enjoy it.
Being practical: CDs, DVDs and electronic files are all welcome! If you would like to check whether we already have your suggested gift, you can email firstname.lastname@example.com.
International guests
Thank you for coming! Please let us know your flight details if you haven't already, and we will arrange for you to be collected at the airport. We will organise some light entertainment on Friday and Sunday.
Dress code
Please wear whatever feels comfortable. We will be wearing a linen suit (Wayne) and a long dress (Cathy) – but then we are the bride and groom! We definitely don't expect you to wear top hats and tails, or ballgowns. If you would enjoy dressing up, feel very welcome, but it is not required. The most important thing is that you come and feel comfortable.
Part of the event will be outside. We suggest you bring a jacket or a shawl so you don't get cold in the garden. You can see a weather forecast for Sofia here.

La actividad de los mercados está siendo escasa este verano y especialmente durante la semana en curso, última de agosto y previa al día del trabajador USA motivo por el que el lunes no habrá mercados y hoy viernes sólo abrirán media sesión.
A menos que la revisión del dato de PIB USA del segundo trimestre, que será publicado hoy a las 14:30 hora española, desvele alguna sorpresa, la actividad tenderá a decaer aún más en las sesiones de hoy y mañana. El consenso de analistas espera una revisión del dato neutra y que no altere el 4% de crecimiento preliminar anunciado el pasado mes.
A pesar de tratarse de un dato robusto, el crecimiento sigue siendo lento y después del traspiés del primer trimestre, aunque los otros tres del año alcancen el 4%, el dato final de PIB en el conjunto del año quedará en el 2.28%. La recuperación económica permanece lenta, atascada y consumiendo cada vez más dinero, deuda, para su consecución. Aún así, se trata de la recuperación más lenta desde los años ´50. Leer más
"Real gross domestic product — the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States — increased at an annual rate of 4.0 percent in the second quarter of 2014, according to the advance"The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures (PCE), private inventory investment, exports, nonresidential fixed investment, state and local government spending, and residential fixed investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased."
"inflation moving toward levels the Committee judges consistent with its dual mandate."
"even after employment and inflation are near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the Committee views as normal in the longer run."
"readings on housing activity — a sector that has been recovering since 2011 — have remained disappointing so far this year and will bear watching".
"los primeros cuatro meses del año, las ventas de las casas dentro del 1% más caras, con precio superior a los $1.67 millones, han crecido un 21%… adicional al +35% que subieron en 2013. Por contra, las ventas del otro 99% de viviendas han caído un 7.6% en el año en curso".
"All twelve Federal Reserve Districts indicated that economic activity continued to expand since the previous report. The pace of economic growth was characterized as moderate in New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas, and San Francisco, while the remaining Districts reported modest expansion. Compared to the previous reporting period, Boston and Richmond noted a slightly slower pace of growth. Most Districts were optimistic about the outlook for growth."
"The unemployment rate dropped to 6.3 percent in April and remained at that level in May. However, the labor force participation rate also declined in April and then held steady in May, while the employment-to-population ratio remained flat"
"Consumer price inflation picked up in recent months, while measures of longer-run inflation expectations remained stable". "Increases in measures of labor compensation remained modest."
"While the current asset purchase program is not on a preset course, participants generally agreed that if the economy evolved as they anticipated, the program would likely be completed later this year"."If the economy progresses about as the Committee expects, warranting reductions in the pace of purchases at each upcoming meeting, this final reduction would occur following the October meeting".
"The guidance continued to emphasize that the Committee's decisions about how long to maintain the current target range for the federal funds rate would depend on its assessment of actual and expected progress toward its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation…"The Committee again stated that it currently anticipated that it likely would be appropriate to maintain the current target range for the federal funds rate for a considerable time after the asset purchase program ends".
"Signs of increased risk-taking were viewed by some participants as an indication that market participants were not factoring in sufficient uncertainty about the path of the economy and monetary policy,"
"where appropriate, supervisory measures should be applied to address excessive risk-taking and associated financial imbalances. At the same time, it was noted that monetary policy needed to continue to promote the favorable financial conditions required to support the economic expansion."
"Alan Greenspan, año 2000: "So long as we recognize the risks and insist on good risk-management system, and so long as supervision moves-as it has-from balance sheet analysis to a review, evaluation, and criticism of risk management systems, economic growth is, I suggest, enhanced by the kinds of financial innovation that technology and deregulation are now producing."
"Our assessment is that this looks to be a very orderly and moderate kind of cooling."
"Our assessment is that there's not much indication at this point that subprime mortgage issues will spread into the broader mortgage market, which still seems to be healthy. And the lending side of that still seems to be healthy."
"The Federal Reserve is not currently forecasting a recession." … cuando la recesión ya estaba en marcha!"
The world's aggregate supplyof capital, labor, raw materials and most everything else is far above its aggregate demand.The result is persistently low prices.
Una vez que esto se rompa, por favor díganme, ¿quién absorberá toda la oferta?
El escenario técnico del mercado de acciones es realmente interesante. Leer más
Mientras el índice registra máximos históricos, la media diaria de volumen, de 20 sesiones -línea roja del cuadro inferior, de volumen- ha alcanzado mínimos históricos de su serie, desde 2004.
En renta fija también se alcanzaron niveles extremos en la sesión de ayer, hasta el punto que los tipos a 10 años del bono español se situaron en el 2.58%, frente al 2.61% de los emitidos por el Tesoro americano, aberrante pero cierto.
Mr. Chairman, at the present session of Congress we have been dealing with emergency situations. We have been dealing with the effect of things rather than with the cause of things……Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government board, has cheated the Government of the United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt.The depredations and iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board has cost this country enough money to pay the national debt several times over.This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it".

The win is the third straight for the club and keeps them level with Benfica on 33 points through 13 games, with Porto holding a small edge in goal difference.
Maritimo made life difficult for itself as Valentin Roberge collected his second yellow card in the 41st minute, but it wasn't until the 80th minute that the home side took advantage as Cristian Rodriguez tallied his sixth goal of the season to put Porto in front.
The result was secured three minutes later when an own goal from Maritimo's Miguel Pereira doubled the lead.
Benfica fell behind Rio Ave on Friday in the opening 24 minutes but responded with five unanswered goals to win 5-1, staying level with Porto.
Third-place Sporting Lisbon needed a goal from Elias 10 minutes from time to salvage a 1-1 draw at Academica, dropping the team six points off the pace of the leaders, while Sunday's other games saw Nacional and Setubal finish 1-1, Feirense top Uniao Leiria 2-1 behind two goals from Bedi Buval and Beira Mar hand Pacos Ferreira a 3-0 home defeat.
In Saturday's other match, Guimaraes and Gil Vicente played to a 1-1 draw while the weekend rounded out on Monday with Braga coming from two goals down to secure a 4-3 win at Olhanense.

New model aims to solve conundrum of cloud savings
Thursday - 12/8/2011, 6:28pm EST
The debate over those savings, and if they're enough to justify the up-front costs, is a little clearer though.
Hardish Nandra, a partner at CSC, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss how exactly to calculate cloud computing costs.
CSC, a technology contractor, has been working on a model — which Nandra said is in version 1.0 — to determine the true costs and savings of cloud computing.
The model revolves around adding up total-cost-of-ownership, or TCO, and the all-important ROI — return-on-investment and taking into consideration the size of data centers and technology "refresh rates."
Nandra discussed how the model was developed and how it could evolve in the future.

Anthony Chiasson and Todd Newman are alleged to have profited
from insider information about Dell and Invidia.
In the sharp-elbowed world of Wall Street, Anthony Chiasson and Todd Newman stood out as two of the good guys.
Both were hard-working, below-the-radar types who eschewed the flashy lifestyle embraced by many millionaire hedge fund traders. Mr. Chiasson's mother told reporters that her son's idea of a fun weekend was to return to his hometown, Portland, Maine, to attend church. Mr. Newman, also originally from New England, worked out of Boston, where he is raising a family in Needham, Massachusetts, a low-key suburb.
Yet U.S. prosecutors say Mr. Chiasson and Mr. Newman were criminals, operating "a tight-knit circle of greed" along with others who trafficked in secret information about technology companies.
On Tuesday, Mr. Chiasson, 39, a co-founder of the now-defunct Level Global Investors, and Mr. Newman, 47, a former portfolio manager at Diamondback Capital Management, were to stand trial in a U.S. District Court in New York City. Prosecutors say they were part of a conspiracy that made about $68 million illegally trading the computer company Dell and the chip maker Nvidia.
Six other traders have pleaded guilty. Some are expected to testify against Mr. Chiasson and Mr. Newman.
The trial of Mr. Chiasson and Mr. Newman is expected to shed light on the trading strategies and techniques of SAC Capital Advisors, based in Stamford, Connecticut, a hedge fund giant run by the investor Steven A. Cohen.
SAC Capital, which has one of the best investment track records on Wall Street, has become a breeding ground for hedge fund managers. Both Level Global and Diamondback were started by traders who trained under Mr. Cohen. And one of the six traders who have admitted to the conspiracy was employed at SAC Capital.
The case is one of the larger prosecutions brought by the government in its broad investigation into insider trading, which has yielded many convictions and resulted in prison sentences for dozens of hedge fund traders. Last month, Rajat K. Gupta, a former director of Goldman Sachs, was sentenced to two years in prison after a jury found him guilty of leaking boardroom secrets about the bank to the billionaire Raj Rajaratnam, a former hedge fund chief who is serving an 11-year term.
Most of the defendants in the insider trading cases have pleaded guilty, but of the eight who have taken their cases to trial, all have been found guilty.
The Chiasson-Newman case is the outgrowth of an F.B.I. raid two years ago this month of Level Global and Diamondback. Last January, Preet Bharara, a U.S. attorney in New York, brought the criminal case against Mr. Chiasson, Mr. Newman and the others.
Among those accused of being co-conspirators with the defendants are Spyridon Adondakis, a former trader at Level Global who worked under Mr. Chiasson, and Jesse Tortora, a onetime Diamondback employee. Both men have pleaded guilty to charges of insider trading. They have cooperated with prosecutors and are expected to testify against their former colleagues.
Lawyers for Mr. Chiasson and Mr. Newman are expected to attack the men who are cooperating, accusing them of trying to curry favor with the government by accusing their bosses of being involved in their illegal trading.
The former SAC Capital trader who admitted to being part of the scheme is Jon Horvath. Mr. Horvath admitted passing confidential information to his portfolio manager, who was named an unindicted co- conspirator in the case. The portfolio manager is Michael Steinberg, according to a person with direct knowledge of the case who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss it publicly.
Barry Berke, a lawyer for Mr. Steinberg, declined to comment.
The reported conspiracy's origins are traced to Sandeep Goyal, a former Dell employee who left the technology industry to take a job on Wall Street. While working as a technology stock analyst at the money manager Neuberger Berman, Mr. Goyal tapped a contact inside Dell to obtain advance word about the computer maker's financial results. He then gave that information to his network of contacts on hedge fund trading floors, and it ultimately reached Mr. Chiasson and Mr. Newman, prosecutors say.
Mr. Goyal has pleaded guilty to insider trading; the unnamed Dell executive has not been charged in the case. Earlier in their careers, Mr. Goyal, Mr. Tortora and Mr. Adondakis all worked together at the Prudential Equity Group, and they socialized together in New York and in the Hamptons, upscale beachfront towns outside the city.
The F.B.I. raid had a devastating effect on Level Global, which closed shortly after the U.S. agents seized trading records and hardware from the firm. Diamondback has remained in business. This year, it paid about $9 million to settle a lawsuit brought against it by the Securities and Exchange Commission related to the Dell trades. It also struck a nonprosecution agreement with the Justice Department.
Level Global made by far the most profit in the conspiracy, pocketing about $57 million by betting against Dell stock before a negative earnings announcement, prosecutors say.
Mr. Chiasson and David Ganek started Level Global in 2003 shortly after leaving SAC Capital. At Level Global's peak, they managed about $4 billion in assets and had marquee clients like the New York State pension fund. They used the name Level, Mr. Chiasson once said, because the word "connotes balance and adaptability -- two key investing traits."
Mr. Chiasson's reserved style contrasted with that of Mr. Ganek, who was more voluble. While Mr. Chiasson steered clear of New York society, Mr. Ganek and his wife, the novelist Danielle Ganek, became fixtures at charity events and art auctions. Mr. Ganek has not been charged in the case.
Mr. Newman, who is accused of making about $3.8 million in illegal profit, worked at Tudor Investment, one of the world's most prominent hedge funds, before joining Diamondback. He was part of a tight network of hedge fund traders based in Boston who specialized in technology stocks.
Lawyers for Mr. Chiasson and Mr. Newman tried to turn their cases into two separate trials, arguing that they had not been part of a single purported conspiracy. Judge Richard J. Sullivan denied that request.
Reid H. Weingarten, a partner at Steptoe & Johnson who defended Bernard J. Ebbers, the former WorldCom chief executive, and Gregory Morvillo of the Morvillo law firm, represent Mr. Chiasson. Representing Mr. Newman are Stephen Fishbein and John A. Nathanson, both of Shearman & Sterling.
Trying the case for the government are Antonia M. Apps and Richard C. Tarlowe, one of the prosecutors who secured the conviction of Mr. Gupta, the former Goldman Sachs director.
A 12-member jury has been impaneled after two days of jury selection. Lawyers dismissed a number of potential jurors with connections to the case, including a doorman at Mr. Chiasson's luxury New York apartment building and a former business- development executive at SAC Capital.

About the authorView articles
Derby week has always been very special, especially when I lived in Liverpool with friends winding each other up, pubs full of banter and the streets more colourful as the two sides' supporters don their colours. Inside the ground there is an electric atmosphere.
These days it's slightly different living away from Liverpool - it means I can't soak up the feeling during the week but with mobile phones, Facebook and Twitter etc, the banter is still there. There are so many Liverpool supporters in this neck of the woods, so that still means there is the traditional banter.
Most of it this season is coming from me and even though we are not having a great season so far, Liverpool's woes are far worse; already beaten twice by Blackpool, knocked out of the league cup at home by League Two opposition, below us in the league, knocked out of the FA Cup and having already said goodbye to Roy Hodgson, oh and beaten by the Blues 2-0 - what a day that was at Goodison.
Happy Days and long may they continue!
I was there that night when we drew 4-4 with Liverpool and 'King Kenny' decided management was too stressful, not really sure why he has decided to take the job on again, but hey, someone's got to do it.
I wish him well, after the weekend that is!
I have only been lucky enough to be at a derby match at Anfield once, as tickets are hard to come by. I was at the game when Sharpy lashed the ball in from 30 yards, I was standing on the Kop with a Liverpool mate of mine whose regular match partner was away on business, so he asked me to go. He is still regretting it to this day, as I went slightly berserk until I realised where I was standing, but what a goal, more of the same this Sunday would be great!
It's strange to think I was at Kenny's last derby game 20 years ago and now luckily I will be there at his first in his second spell at the club. It was a close call as I only managed to get a ticket for the game on Wednesday, so thank you God because all those prayers paid off, I will be a good boy all year, promise!
And I will be a good boy for two years, if we can get a victory at Anfield - Come on Blue Boys!
