Written By Vettefan400, Columbus, GA on Monday, August 30, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product is awesome. I recently had lightning stike my tv. Cost about $200 to get it fixed. So I bought this Monster Power AV 800. It was so easy to hook up, and it came with labels for everything, and I mean everything. Like tv, game console, vcr, blu-ray, receiver, and many labels for all my speakers. Making it easy to track all wires and cables. Not to mention it comes with a lifetime warranty, and $25,000 equipment warranty if damaged by lightning or power surge. I'm even thinking about buying one for my dad and his system.

Written By Anonymous, Cleveland, OH on Sunday, November 22, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Monster Power AV 800 seems to be great so far (only had it two weeks). Setup is very easy. It protects cable input/output. It also has color coded plugs for different devices. It does not have phone-line protection if you need that (I didn't need that). All in all, a vast improvement to the cheap model I had before! Was this review helpful? Yes No Maybe only Power Protection you'll ever use? Written By Carey2009, Seattle, WA on Monday, March 09, 2009 I purchased my AV800 in 1999 and it's still working the same as when first plugged in. Survived Y2K, multipule storms and a couple earth quakes. No complaints. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Monster Power AV 800 Written By David, North Carolina on Saturday, November 08, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) No issues with this power strip. Worked right out of the box and gives me the confidence that the TV and DVD are protected from power surges and lightening strikes. Usual quality and functionality of Monster products...definitely recommend. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No it works Written By Roger, Fresno, CA on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) What can I say? It works. I guess you could say it's the top of the line of the not-so-special power protectors, or maybe the bottom of the line of the special ones. I haven't had any issues with it. My sub woofer died, but that's because it's a piece of junk. If you buy a TV, you will probably get this (or something similar) thrown into your purchase at no extra cost. That's how I ended up getting this product. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I'm building a small welding table and ordered a piece of 1/2" plate 2' x 4' from the local supplier. The first plate they sent was crowned 3/16 on the 4' dimension so they replaced with a second drop. It's the same way and I assumed it was created by the heat from cutting off this drop. I'd like to get it as flat as possible before tacking to the frame.
Read some posts on here and last night I clamped the piece down to the frame and ran about 10 beads 3" long on the crowned side as was illustrated. Kept my voltage on the low side to not go overboard. It didn't have much effect on the crown I was trying to correct on the 4' dimension. I now have about a 3/16" crown (where I started) on the 4' dimension and a 3/8" crown on the 2' dimension. Can anyone offer any suggestions on what I can do to get this piece flat? I'm going to use a rosebud this time as it's a pita grinding off the beads. Also, should I clamp as before (think this might have caused the crown on the 2' dimension) or just let it "float" on top of the frame. Or, should I just forget trying to get it flat, tack down to the frame and start using?
Thanks for your input.

Crown in 1/2" Plate
Did you put the crown down or up? I had the same issue with my 4'x4'x3/8" table. I didn't want to weld on the top any more than needed so i made a frame from 3x3 angle and added the legs. Then i put the plate onto the frame with the crown down and pulled the edges down with clamps and tacked the top to the frame along the outside edges and it it nice and flat...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

It's hard to say with out seeing this in person. Bob's idea is good & probably the best for someone untrained.
What could be happenning is when the plate is flamecut the edges actually shrink in the haz which causes the center to bulge. It could also have been from the mill & just did not get flattened enough. Then by welding in the wrong spot you caused it to bow the other way. When you heat metal it will shrink when it cools. You need to counteract this.
Heat the center to try to shrink it. You could make it worse by heating in the wrong place or wrong side.

I ran the weld beads on the convex side (crown up). I've since been working on it with the rosebud and it has flattened out in the middle of the 4' dimension where heat was applied. Still cupped on both ends so I put some heat there before I left for work this morning. Guess I'll see if I made any progress when I get home. If it's still curled I'll flip the plate clamp it down and tack in place as has been suggested. Thanks all for your input!

ah another martingale system that went kaboom ....
I read every post about his system ...there was no system you had to wait for Jeff to make the plays for you.
Sure enough as always Kaboom one or two 4 game or 5 game chase losses wipe out your whole seasons profits.
A system is when you can use anyteam in that situation and it wins at a high % like 90% of the time every year without fail.
BUT that a limited number of plays for small $10 bettors.
Large hitters who can get down in Vegas for $10,000 per game Win a lot of cash.

Saturday, February 28, 2004TROY, Ala. (Feb. 28, 2004) - The East Tennessee State women's tennis team claimed a 5-2 victory on the road against the University of Memphis in Troy, Ala. The Bucs improve to a 7-4 record for the spring season. "It was a good day to be outside and we had very good weather," commented head coach Steve Brooks. "We played competitively and I'm very happy with the match today." ETSU took the early lead by winning the doubles point with wins from pairs Sylwia Ziolkowska (Warsaw, Poland) and Mariya Ilyina (Kyiv, Ukraine) in the No. 2 slot and Gemma Halim (Jakarta, Indonesia) and Jessica Irey (Clewiston, Fla.) in the No. 3 slot. In singles action ETSU continued the momentum by winning four of the six matches. Ziolkowska, Halim, Irey, and Ilyina brought in wins for the Bucs. Senior Courtney McInnis (Waterboro, Maine) battled hard, but lost her match to University of Memphis' Marlene Dirstorfer in the No. 1 slot 6-3, 6-0. Brooks stated, "In the matches we won, we played our game and stayed on top. Sometimes we eased off but were able to come back and find our groove to finish off the match. In the matches that we lost, we were much more competitive than some of the scores show. We need to clean up a couple of points for tomorrow's match and the rest of the season." "Overall, it is a good win for us. We played solid, but still have some areas and situations that we need to improve and work on to have a good show in the conference." The Bucs continue play tomorrow with a match against host Troy State University at 1:00 p.m. ETSU 5, University of Memphis 2 Doubles: 1. Viktoria Gruber/Marlene Dirnstorfer (UM) def.

In my Channel Report output I'm getting characters encoded like this ' and " as well as several others.
These appear no matter what "Feed Content" setting I use, even "Plain text".
I've also tried encode=sgml and encode=percent settings, with no luck; is there some other setting that I'm missing (or undocumented) that would convert these character entity's back to their displayed characters?
' Apostrophe
" Left quote

Can you post the entire template tag you're using. Where the encode= parameter is supported, Awasu also recognizes chars= to specify which characters need to encoded. By default, these are:
(*) JSON: \ and "
(*) SGML: < and &
The most likely explanation for what you're seeing is bodgy content There are more than a few publishers out there pushing out incorrectly encoded content and Awasu has to guess at what to do. Try running your report against a test feed file, where you know exactly what's in the content, and see what happens.

I should have mentioned that I used the chars= setting in conjunction with the encode= setting.
Here's one of the feeds that exhibit the encoding: http://www.awasu.com/weblog/?feed=atom Take a look at the blog post on Dutch Tilders, for a couple of examples of ' or ’ depending upon the "Feed content" setting. You can use Awasu's default Channel Report template to see the behavior; you may need to View Source in your browser to see the real encoding. Also, you can see the ' characters in the original blog post: http://www.awasu.com/weblog/?p=788 so it's not just a bad feed.
My Channel Report is an XML format, you know the one I've been working on for a while now, so there's no web browser to convert ' to a fancy aposthrophe.
I do have some Python code to convert it for me, so I can handle it in a post-processing command, but I was just curious if Awasu had an undocumented decode= setting.
import re
def _callback(matches):
id = matches.group(1)
return unichr(int(id))
return id
def decode_unicode_references(data):
data = re.sub("&", "&", data)
return re.sub("&#(\d+)(;|(?=\s))", _callback, data)
def main():
data = "U.S. – Adviser's Blunt – Memo on Iraq: Time 'to Go Home'"
print decode_unicode_references(data)
if __name__ == '__main__':

It works correctly for me if you use Full content - maybe you had some leftover encode=... settings that was breaking things...?
This is what's happening (are you sitting comfortably?)...
Awasu tags every piece of text it records as being PLAIN TEXT, HTML, or UNKNOWN. The feed you gave as an example uses Atom so each piece of text can definitively be identified as TEXT or HTML (yay!). UNKNOWN is used for RSS content.
In the article about the Dutchman, the feed XML looks something like this:
<content type="html"> <![CDATA[ ... They're ... ]]> </content>
so the content gets recorded as HTML, with the 7 characters that make up the encoded character i.e. it doesn't get decoded down to a single character. This is correct behavior.
When inserting the content into a report, Awasu must consider the type of data (TEXT/HTML/UNKNOWN) being inserted, and the output format (HTML/XML/etc.) and encode accordingly. If we are using Awasu's default report, set to use Full content, Awasu will see the data type as being HTML, and since the output format is HTML, no encoding is necessary and the content gets inserted verbatim. The browser will then convert the 7-character sequence into the correct character when it is rendering the page.
However, if you are using Excerpt, Awasu has to create an excerpt of the content and a side-effect of this process is that the content is always set to type TEXT (there are good reasons for doing this). So, when it comes time to insert the content into the report, data of type TEXT must be encoded so that it will render correctly in an HTML page, which is why you're seeing the encoded string.
So... it seems that the underlying problem is that content gets set to type TEXT when it is excerpted - Awasu strips out HTML tags as part of this process but doesn't decode SGML entities. "Fixing" this is hairy and I'm not sure it wouldn't cause more problems than it solves...

That's ok, I wasn't looking at this as a real bug that needed to be fixed, I was just looking to see if there was an undocumented feature that I could utilize.
Remember several months ago our discussions lead to the (re)discovery of a previously undocumented {%UNDEFINE% paramName} statement; I was just hoping to find another hidden gem.
I'll write a simple Python exe that will decode these characters back to their single-character representations via STDIN and STDOUT, and I'll call it from my other post-processing command. If my decoder works well enough, maybe we'll add it to Awasu's wiki so anyone else, with a need, can use it too.

Volleyball Inks Two Recruits for 2004 Season
Tuesday, April 20, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 20, 2004) - The East Tennessee State University volleyball squad has added two recruits for the 2004 season, it was announced today. Callie Kiselich (Colorado Springs, Co. / Rampart) and Katie Longden (Fort Dodge, Iowa / Iowa Central CC) have signed national letters of intent to compete with head coach Lindsay Devine for the upcoming fall season. A 5'11 middle hitter, Kiselich played for the Nike Thundercats club squad, a program that was a mainstay in the national top 30 rankings during the 2003 season. Callie was honored as an honorable mention member of the 2003 All-State squad while posting a .420 hitting percentage, 73 total blocks and 243 total kills. The daughter of D.J. Kiselich and Colette Nelson, Kiselich plans to major in nursing at ETSU. "Callie is a natural athlete who possesses a great lateral quickness and excellent blocking instincts. She will be an important offensive contributor and make an immediate impact to the ETSU program," Devine said. Longden, also a 5'11 middle hitter, was a two-year starter for Iowa Central Community College where she was a 2003 First Team All-Region member, as well as garnering 2002 All-Region Honorable Mention accolades. At Iowa Central, Longden tallied 228 total blocks, a .275 hitting percentage and 2.542 kills per game. Katie is the daughter of Gordon and P. Marlene Longden, and plans to major in sports medicine and physical therapy at ETSU. "Katie brings with her collegiate playing experience and an extremely competitive attitude. With her quick arm and excellent court sense and awareness, she will pose a strong threat for the ETSU offensive line," Devine had to say.

A tip of the hat to Betty Robinson, retired FWCS (Fort Wayne Community Schools) music teacher. My wife and I recently had the privilege of having Mrs. Robinson, who had been our elementary music teacher, at our wedding in December. It was a thrill to see her again after many years and have the chance to tell her what an impact she had on our lives and career paths. I can only imagine how many singers, musicians, actors, directors and teachers had their life's passions sparked by this extraordinary woman and educator. So, to Betty Robinson, and the scores of inspiring teachers out there who make the world a better place one kid at a time, again, I say thank you!
Thank you to the kind souls who reach out to assist handicap people like myself. Thank you to those who park away from my van so I have room to put down the exit ramp. Thank you to those who open heavy doors. Thank you to those merchants who leave aisles wide enough for handicap shopping. In this world of troubled times, it is nice to see there are still those who show the etiquette they were brought up with. You know who you are. Many thanks!
Tip your hat to someone. Email email@example.com or send by mail to: Tip of the Hat, The News-Sentinel, 600 W. Main St., Fort Wayne, IN 46802.

Compressing a file is required whenever you have a big file, with considerable content material and photos. When a large file must be sent via e-mail, there can be complications in uploading the file since of its size. Therefore, the email software can reject file uploading. In the event the file was compressed or zipped to a smaller size, it can be sent conveniently. Software frequently made use of for zipping a file is WinZip.
WinZip is really a utility system that enables you to compress files by zipping it in to a smaller sized size, here. It really is out there in each totally free and paid versions. The software's interface tends to make it easy-to-use and it also performs the compression method in only a few minutes. Here is a look at the measures involved with file zipping through WinZip:
• Install the most recent version of WinZip inside your technique. Open WinZip application. When the license window seems, agree to its terms to proceed further.
• Click 'New' button to make a new archive (.ZIP).
• Enter the destination with the.ZIP file within the 'Filename' box and click 'OK'. Choose the file that requires to become zipped.
• Click the 'Add' button and develop the.ZIP file.
In contrast, it is possible to also discover the file in its place. Right-click the file and also you can come across the WinZip alternative. When you go to this solution, a sub-menu will expand. Click the 'Add to Zip File' choice to perform the zipping procedure. The Add Window will open. You are able to see the path with the file chosen for compression. Specify the compression level as 'Normal' and click 'Add' to finish the compression method.
File compression is necessary to make efficiently usage of available disk space and also to also make sure that the file could be sent via e-mail rapidly. Big files could be difficult to deal with and can get corrupted. Reducing their size could make them much easier to manage. WinZip is quite effective file compression software and also the entire file zipping procedure can requires location in just a matter of minutes.
Furthermore to WinZip, you will find other software applications available for file zipping. You are able to make usage of WinRAR, TurboZIP Express, 7-Zip, BitZIPPer, QuickZip, ALZIP, WinAce, IZArc, and Stuffit. When choosing any zip software, you'll want to appear into functions for example rapid zip file creation, friendly user interface, file decompression, archiving, display of compression ratio, guarding file with encrypted passwords, extracting archives and so on.

France's Senate approves ban on BPA in food packaging, medical devices
11:22 AM MDT | October 10, 2012 | Kara Sissell
France's Senate, on 9 October, unanimously voted in favor of a measure to ban bisphenol A (BPA) in food packaging and medical devices, beginning July 2015. The measure, which now must be reconciled with a version passed by the National Assembly, would make France the first country to ban BPA in food packaging. Plastics Europe (Brussels), an industry group, says the measure would have "no safety benefit for consumers and disregards existing European law and risk assessment while disturbing the internal market." The last-minute inclusion of...

Recipe by DONNA L.
"Light and flaky, these tarts are easy to make and easy to reheat. Just wrap loosely in foil and heat at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until warm."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

5 slices
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons
1/2 cup
shredded Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons
chopped green onion
1 (10 ounce) can
refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
I tried the regular size flaky biscuits and the grands. I found them both too doughy. I used regular frozen pie crusts and cut them with a 3" round cutter to fit the muffin cups. they slip right in. Turned out great. Used the recipe filling which is really good.
These were ok..a little bland. I halved some grands & they still seemed too doughy/not enough egg. These definately need a little tobasco to the filling for a little more flavor. I'm not sure if I will make these again.

I made these for Christmas Eve Brunch and they flew off the platter. I used a basic cream cheese dough for the crust (from Pampered Chef's recipe for pecan tassies) & I substituted onion flakes for the green onion and they turned out great. Since I was limited on oven space the morning of the Brunch I made these a couple days before and put then in the freezer until that morning. I placed them on foil and put them in the toaster oven until they were heated through and it was just like they were mixed up and baked right then. I will make these again - great to have in the freezer to use for an appetizer for drop in company too.
YUMMY! I just finished my second piece. I didn't have the patience for individual tarts so I threw everything onto a Pilsbury premade pie crust. I set the cooking time for 30 minutes. Perfect!
I joined allrecipies just to write a review on this one! A huge hit at our Mother's Day brunch. Helpful tips: Use Grands cut in half and then rolled out for normal size muffin tins. Light cream cheese was great...less greasy than regular. Do not overfill the cups with the egg mixture so to avoid overflowing.
A delicious "flexible" recipe. I can make these a couple days ahead of time for breakfast on the run. They're just as good reheated in the microwave. I always make a spicy version along with this recipe as is. I substitue spicy breakfast sausage, pepperjack cheese, 4 oz chopped green chiles and 1 tsp. of creole seasong. Awesome. My co-workers went crazy for this recipe.
This was a hit at the party last night! I used sharp cheddar cheese in place of the Swiss and added some dried tomato sprinkles! I split the biscuits in two and made 24 mini muffins (I used a whole package of 10 and 2 from another package). If I would have had the time I would have doubled the mixture and made all the biscuits from both packages. As it was there was enough mixture to make 24 mini tarts.
These were a hit at my daughter's preschool "graduation!" I omitted the green onion due to small guests and their tendency to avoid all things green. I also split the flaky biscuits in 2 and made them in mini muffin tins. I thought this was much better - less pastry dough and more tasty. I had leftover filling so I greased lg. muffin tins well and put the filling in without biscuits; they turned out terrific for my husband who is on Atkins. Excellent all around!

What has been your favorite class at COA? Why?
I would say I have two favorites: Marine Biology and Science of Popular Medicine. I was never bored in these classes and I learned a lot! In marine biology we learned how to recognize a bunch of local marine critters and also learned their scientific names. The classes were full of information and I felt like I gained an extensive amount of knowledge in our multiple field trips as well as in the classes! In the Science of Popular medicine, the teacher was well organized and provided us with a variety of activities that enhanced the learning. We read concurrent articles about medicine and questioned if these articles were properly scientifically supported. This class gave me a better insight to the world of medicine as a reader as well as a researcher.
What classes have you taken at COA?
Human Ecology
Marine Biology
Organic Chemistry I
Personality and Social Development
Physics II: Intro to Circuits
Organic Chemistry II
Science of Popular Medicine
Physics III: Quantum Mechanics
Biochemistry (short course)
Molecular Evolutionary Genetics
What was your favorite project at COA? Why?
There are two again: building of a basic home security system- circuit and the Service Learning Project in an Elementary School. In the first one, after learning the fundamentals of circuit building, we had developed the required skills to actually build a functioning security system. The latter one, was part of my human ecology core course. With another student, we designed a curriculum for a first-year elementary school class, which revolved around the meaning of water.
What is your dream occupation?
I am still in the journey of finding out what I specifically want to do, but it will most likely fall into the area medicine, public health, or alternative healing.
Do you work on or off campus? If yes, where?
I work with the marine mammal research group Allied Whale. I mainly work with Humpback Whale identification, but occasionally in the field.
What do you see yourself doing after COA?
There are several places around the world I definitely want to visit in some point of my life. I want to learn more about cultures, languages, and societies in general, as well as their local 'medicinal traditions' in their contexts. I hope to achieve these goals with a career in humanitarian help.
What country or state would you like to visit? Where would you love to live?
Long term, I envision myself living somewhere in Europe, close to home, Finland. India, Malaysia, and other parts of southern Asia as well as some African countries (such as Ghana, South Africa or Tanzania) are places I wish to visit some day.
What is happiness to you?
Though happiness can mean many things, I would say finding one's emotional and 'existential' equilibrium are highly important. When finding this balance, one can more easily tackle problems life brings, and appreciate everything one has. For me happiness is a context, rather than 'a thing' and it can be shared with others.
What are your plans, if any, for your internship?
I hope to work with some sort of health practitioner or doctor, or non-profit public health organization.
What are your ideas for your senior project?
That still remains a big mystery for me.
What is one of your favorite childhood memories?
Hmmm... They are all running through my mind simultaneously... I had a long curly hair I decided to totally shave when I was around six. I cried for almost two weeks non-stop — my head was freezing!
What is your favorite food to eat?
Finnish rye bread with smoked salmon and dill and a glass of milk! Delicious!
What do you like to do when you're not doing school work?
I often spend time out in the nature (especially in COA shore) just walking. I also like to bike and participate in outdoors activities as well as read.
What is your favorite color?
What is your favorite flower?
What? Dandelion?? I don't know!
What are your favorite animals?
Fish are pretty cool! I like to watch them in nature and in an aquarium in my room. I also like eating them!
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
I always argue about this with my grandmom.. All I can do is to cite a Finnish saying, which states, "The egg is wiser than the chicken."
What is the motto you like to live by?
"Always look on the bright side of life" This is extremely hard to follow, and I have to admit I often fail but I have gotten better over the years =D
Why did you choose to come to COA?
It was an excellent combination of things I wanted from a college. It was close to nature and not a mainstream school. COA considers all its students individuals, rather than part of a huge institutional machinery.
What do you like to study?
Sciences! They challenge me, but when I get it, it feels great!
Who are your favorite writers? Poets?
Its hard to say anyone specific. I really like "Kitchen" from Banana Yoshimoto.
Who are your favorite artists? Musicians?
Its hard to mention one, I mostly like a variety of artists and music, including some pop, some rock, reggae, reggaeton, R&B, light music, dance.. almost anything.
Who is your favorite fictional hero?
Moomintroll. He is awesome!
What historical figure do you most admire?
I admire people who have somehow helped others in their societies and personal contexts. There are a ton of these people and they have never become famous enough that their names would recognized.
Who is your hero today?
I don't really have a hero. I admire different characteristics in different people, but no one in particular.
What do you value most in your friends?
Good sense of humor, humbleness, honesty and the fact I can trust in them.
What do people say is your most marked characteristic?
What talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could sing even a little... but no...
What is your least favorite spice?
Cilantro and cumin!
Do you have anything cool or unique you would like to share?
My right foot is almost two sizes bigger than the left!

...it's a Coast thing is a new brand for the whole of the North Yorkshire Coast. It aims to reflect and promote a unique coastal lifestyle. It is intended for use by businesses, organisations, events, initiatives and Scarborough Borough Council in promoting the area to existing and potential residents and investors, and by association, adding value to their organisations' image.
The brand grew out of the stories local people told us, so primarily 'a Coast thing' is honest, real and valued - the very opposite of manufactured marketing spin.
Recent years have seen a reawakening amongst many Britons as to the desirability of coastal living. Rather than aspirations to have a second house at the coast, it's now the dream of many to live by the sea and visit the city only when necessary.
The borough offers an unrivalled proposition for those wishing to pursue this ideal - beautiful location, good physical and digital connectivity, business development opportunities, decent affordable housing and towns that have successfully kicked against nationwide coastal decline. While moves to attract new residents and businesses alike continue, it's crucial that the message gets out that the North Yorkshire Coast is a perfect place to live, work and play.

"It takes extraordinary courage for sexually abused children to reach out for help and disclose their abuse. The Rape Foundation's Capital Campaign deserves support, and we are dedicated to doing what we can to help."
-Paige Adams-Geller
To that end, we have partnered with Marie Claire to create the limited-edition Edgemont jean in a gray "Gail" wash, with 100 percent of the sale proceeds going toward the Rape Foundation's Capital Campaign, which is raising funds to construct a new, larger building for Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center's Stuart House, which provides services for survivors under the age of 18.
We chose our top selling style in the season's hottest grey hue, which also happens to also be the center's signature color. Adorned with double zippers, these jeans are a slim, mid-rise ultra-skinny that evoke edgy sophistication. This grey wash was named after the center's Director, Gail Abarbanel. She is our hero and we are thrilled to create something in her honor – especially something that can help start a conversation about this important topic.
We encourage readers to buy these exclusive and limited-edition jeans and urge all to donate to the cause. 100% of the proceeds from this jean will go directly to the Stuart House Capital Campaign.

"Members of ProjectARCC converged upon Cleveland, Ohio last week with fellow archivistsfrom across the United States and beyond, sharing ideas, new projects, and best practices on the preservation and access of historical materials for current and future generations.
This was ProjectARCC's first national opportunity to share news about our work, our concerns about the impact of climate change on the archival profession, and ways we think archivists can make a positive climate impact."
"Overall, the conference was hugely successful. ProjectARCC members made new contacts and advocates across the country. Archivists are understanding that the issue of climate change affects everything that we do, as professionals, as individuals, as communities and across the world. We're honored to be part of this movement to better understand climate impacts on our profession, and equally as importantly, what efforts we can take to act on climate change within and beyond it."

In this six-part series, American Libraries looks back at the stories of libraries and librarians in the 10 years since Katrina. Reflecting on our October 2005 coverage, we remember the librarians who provided services in extraordinary circumstances.
"These are just some of the Katrina stories we've heard from libraries and librarians. We invite you to share your Katrina story with American Libraries via comment or email and let us know how your library—or your life—has changed in the 10 years since Katrina came ashore."

Great stories!
FSU professors create online tool to assist librarians working with patrons with autism - Tallahassee.com
"Two Florida State University professors have created a training site that they hope will assist librarians when working with patrons who suffer from autism spectrum disorders.
The teaching guide, called Project PALS, was created as a learning tool to help librarians better understand some of the behavioral characteristics demonstrated by someone with the disorder, and how to make that person more successful in library settings.
Project PALS, or Project Panhandle Autism Library Services, is taught online using examples that can be reviewed at the person's leisure. The training lasts about four hours.
The project was created by Nancy Everhart, a professor in the School of Information who studies the impact of technology on the leadership of the school librarian, and Juliann Woods, associate dean of research at the College of Communication and Information at FSU. Woods also is associate director for research to practice at the Autism Institute, who helped develop Autism Navigator, a Web-based early-detection tool that aids service providers in recognizing and serving children with ASD."

The archive preserves journal literature emanating from publishers and societies in Africa and includes searchable collections of journal articles that have been digitised back to the earliest possible issues. This archive is indeed a valuable resource for local and international libraries.
The archive is now available on an easy-to-use website which enables easy discoverability of articles and also enhances the research experience of end users."

"As librarians we protect our services, collections, and patrons from censorship and bias. Simply put- We do not allow it. From too much left or right wing material to too much sci-fi or mystery. At our core we begin from a place of balance, equality, representation, and non-censorship. This is one of librarianship's inherent characteristics that draw people to join the profession.

When Bryan Bartley officially took over the storied Montrose Christian basketball program last summer, he inherited a roster that was 100 percent vacant — he literally didn't have a single player. Those who hadn't graduated in 2013 bolted to other schools when longtime coach Stu Vetter announced his resignation.
But a Montrose Christian roster doesn't stay empty for long. The name sells itself. Within months, Bartley hauled in eight different transfers from six different states — Missouri, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Washington, Illinois — needing very little persuasion other than the use of two names: Montrose Christian, and his own, names prestigious enough that when they come calling, it's difficult to decline.
And so, Patrick McCaw (from St. Louis), Jarrell Brantley (South Carolina) Allonzo Trier (Seattle) and Raymond Doby (Illinois) left behind their families, prior teammates, coaches — everything familiar — to play a season or two in a Montrose uniform.
"Our kids are all different," said Bartley, whose two sons, Justice and Jaylen, followed him to Montrose. "They're from all different places in life."
This practice, hauling in players from all over the country, most for no more than two seasons, has brought on a variety of monikers for the Rockville private school — and several others in the surrounding area and country — from mercenary program to basketball factory.
"The name definitely says a lot when it comes to getting recruits in the area," said first-year assistant coach Calvin Seldon, who came via Grace Brethren Clinton and brought with him senior A.J. Cabbagestalk. "The foundation starts with a good coaching staff from the ground up."
Barely an hour down the road in Upper Marlboro is a similarly structured team in Riverdale Baptist, which also relies on transfers too talented to glean much else from playing in the public school ranks or even middle-level private schools.
There were no more realms of public school hoops for Nigel Johnson (Kansas State) to conquer when his junior year ended at Broad Run. During his final year in the public ranks, Johnson averaged nearly 30 points per game, eclipsed that number 11 times, and once scored 55. Yet his highest suitor was George Washington.
As a senior, with barely three months at Riverdale under his belt — in which he led the Crusaders to a Capital Beltway championship and was named tournament MVP — Johnson reneged on his oral commitment to GW and opened up the recruiting process again. Within a few weeks, Kansas State, a No. 4 seed in last year's NCAA Tournament, came calling, and Johnson was soon a Wildcat.
"I try to instill upon my players that this is the level you want to play," said longtime Riverdale coach Lou Wilson, who is a career 556-215 at the school. "When you go off to college, there are going to be 12 players on a scholarship who were probably the best players on their high school teams."
Like Montrose, the majority of Riverdale's seniors are shipped off to college with a Division I scholarship in hand. Wilson estimates that in any given year, there could be as many as seven. And then it's back to bringing in new names, new faces and new Division I talents — reloading.
"Coach Lou produces good players and that's what college coaches want," said Riverdale alumnus Justin Drummond, a former first-team All-Gazette player now with Toledo. "He creates a lot of opportunities for guys. There's just a lot of tradition there. A lot of good players come through and play all different type of levels."
And it's not limited to Montrose and Riverdale. Capitol Christian, which played as Princeton Day, churned out nearly half a dozen Division I — or professional, in Aquille Carr's case — players last year and the upstart Clinton Christian will likely be doing the same in the near future. Many may point to DeMatha Catholic as a similar "factory" producing basketball players on a figurative assembly line, but Mike Jones' program has created a different identity.
The Stags, who are a part of the historically powerful Washington Catholic Athletic Conference, have established themselves as mostly a four-year program. There are those who transfer out, Quinn Cook bolting for Oak Hill for example, but rarely does Jones take in a transfer for just one season. The Riverdales, Montroses, Capitol and Clinton Christians — all of which competed independent of a conference just two years ago — of the world rely on a high influx of transfers, taking them in for a year or two, sometimes three, grooming them for the collegiate level, and sending them back out as a more polished basketball player.
"I don't really have to recruit," Wilson said. "We entertain phone calls and kids visiting Riverdale. Ninety-five percent of the kids reach out to me, and the other five percent are from parents, uncles, grandparents, cousins. Things like that happen quite often."

- Imagine Dragons – Radioactive
We gave 20 lucky fans the chance to see a private performance with Imagine Dragons before their sold out show at Cannery Ballroom. One of our listeners included lead singer, Dan Reynolds, younger brother who won tickets during the lunch request hour. Watch Imagine Dragons performs "Radioactive" live at Lightning 100. Click here to see the band perform their big single "It's Time" live in our studio.
- Alabama Shakes – Hold On
Band of Horses used to wear the crown for biggest crowd at Live On the Green until Alabama Shakes performed in 2012. Check out Alabama Shakes performance "Hold On" at Live On the Green.
Filmed and edited by Make It Pop
- Passion Pit – Take A Walk
Passion Pit performs in front of a few fans in Griffin Technology's Pre-Show Live event at Marathon Music Works. The band was running late, so we had to cut out the interview. Michael Angelakos, lead singer of Passion Pit was a little offended by this. Check out this live version of "Take A Walk". We've also recorded "Constant Conversations" and "Sleepyheads" at the show.
- The Lumineers – Classy Girl
If you heard The Lumineers first on Lightning 100, you've got Wells Adams to thank for that. After a few weeks of playing "Ho Hey" during our music meetings, the song made it to the airwaves. Lightning 100 was one of the first stations in the country to play The Lumineers…..and now you hear them everywhere.
- Walk The Moon – Anna Sun
The young up-and-coming band Walk the Moon stopped by the studio without their face paint. Check out their performance "Anna Sun" live at Lightning 100. We've also got a recording of "Tightrope" on our HD On-demand Page.
