Elliot was just over 8 weeks old when a Metro Animal Services officer discovered the puppy in a park hunched over in an odd position. He displayed an obvious exuberance but seemed unable to jump or sit. His chin remained bucked forward and his front legs stayed bent, even as Elliot tried to maneuver and play.
Unable to care for a canine with special needs, Metro Animal Services contacted Kelsey Westbrook of Saving Sunny, an organization that rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes animal victims of abuse, neglect and those that are in danger of euthanasia. Elliot more than qualified. "He was down on both elbows," recalled Westbrook. "He looked like he was swimming. He was just a puppy that wanted to climb all over you."
Westbrook and a colleague took the dog to Metropolitan Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Service for a diagnosis and prognosis. There they learned Elliot had a congenital birth defect. "Dr. (Benjamin) Neat told us, 'If this was my dog, I would try. The only reason you should consider euthanizing him is for financial reasons.' "
Then and there, Westbrook decided investing in Elliot was the right thing to do. "If we were going to move forward, it had to be for his quality of life and his future. … After (talking with) Dr. Neat, we knew we had a chance to give this dog a chance at a good life."
After consulting further, Westbrook agreed to the decision to allow the doctors to operate on Elliot. They would pin his front two legs straight with the hopes that they would heal themselves, but 30 minutes after she'd dropped the pup off for the operation, Westbrook received a phone call telling her the surgery wasn't going to work. Unsure what to do, she loaded Elliot into the car and took him home.
In the days and weeks that followed, Westbrook watched as Elliot seemed to get better. "The right leg was starting to repair itself because of the quality of life, good nutrition – and it's only getting better," she said.
That's, in part, to Elliot's new home with James Saling and Angela Micek, an occupational therapist who works with her four-legged family member just as she does her human patients.
"We adopted him on Derby Day (2012) and have had him ever since," said Saling. "It's great to come home and see him every day."
Micek often takes the 10-month-old to work. "I work on daily tasks and every day living (with human clients). Having a dog with special needs isn't really too far from working with people with special needs," she said.
"They see Elliot and they're inspired," added Saling.
"We pretty much treat him like a normal dog. People say, 'What happened to your dog? What's wrong with your dog?' There's nothing wrong with Elliot. He was just born that way."

About Saving Sunny
Saving Sunny is named in honor of Sunny the pit bull who was thrown from the Clark Memorial Bridge in July 2009 and miraculously survived the 80 ft. drop into the Ohio River. Patrons and staff at Joe's Crab Shack on the riverfront witnessed the unimaginable act and raced to the waterside to call to the dazed and struggling dog, who was soon pulled from the water by a Louisville Metro Fire & Rescue team who happened to be training on the river that day. Kelsey Westbrook, a server at Joe's Crab Shack, adopted Sunny on the spot and gave her a name that reflected her happy and trusting disposition as she greeted the crowd who waited for her on dry land.

Is anything known about the Tanna named Nehorai? He had a son R' Yosei (also a Tanna). There's also a R' Nehorai ben Shemayah (or Shema'yah? I'm not sure). Are they the same person? Is anything known about him (them)?

Shabbas 147b - Rabbi Nehorai is either Rabbi Nechemya or Rabbi Elazar Ben Aruch
Eiruvin 13b - Rabbi Meir's real name is Rabbi Nehorai(see however Kiddushin 82 where Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Nehorai are in the same mishna with different opinions) and the gemera then brings down the same gemara as in Shabbas 147b about Rabbi Nechemya and Rabbi Elazar ben Aruch being Rabbi Nehorai.
Nazir 5a - Rabbi Nehorai says in the name of Rabbi Yehoshua different period then other rabbis mentioned as Rabbi Nehorai. Rabbi Nehorai and Rabbi Yossi argue in Nazir 66 (where did you see that his son was Rabbi Yossi)?
Never seen a Rabbi Nahorai ben Shemhya,where did you see this?

Swarovski 1122 12mm Rivoli Light Rose
SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS rivoli rhinestones are faceted with 16 different facets coming to a point in the center of the rhinestone. Brilliant light-reflection is possible with a foiled backing that blocks light from going through the crystal. The rivoli shape resembles the point cut of a diamond with the addition of 16 facets in a circle that meet in the center of the rhinestone. Use our high quality Japanese
Toho Seed Beads
to make a beaded bezel around this SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS crystal rivoli. As you may have noticed, this rhinestone cannot be traditionally strung or glued to a flat surface. Creating a beaded bezel with smaller beads would be an ideal way to showcase this stunning SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS component.

I was wondering if you could help me with a trivial problem with inequalities that my teacher didn't really explain.
Take for example: $3^n+2 ≤ 3^{n+1}$. How can I formally prove something as trivial as that inequality. (For $n \in \mathbb{N}$).
Along the same lines; how to I prove that $n<2^n$. This assertation is naturally obvious, but how am I supposed to formalize the demonstration besides trying case by case and induction? Thanks.

In studying bereishis I have come up with questions about Joseph and his brothers that have long bothered me. One question is in parsha vayeshev, where we read how Joseph was sold by his brothers to the "Ishmaelites". I have always taken that to be the descendants of Ishmael. Isaac and Ishmael were half brothers. Which means that Isaac's sons, Jacob and Esau were first cousins to Ishmael's sons, which in turn means that Jacobs twelve sons were second cousins to Ishmael's grandchildren. Didn't the Ishmaelites know they were buying their second cousin? I would certainly know if my second cousins tried to sell me another second cousin as a slave! What have the rabbis said about this?

Here's how it works:

An idea that was sparked by a similar line of reasoning in this post from the Parsha Blog:
Yosef was sold 182 years after Yishmael was born. (That's 14 until Yitzchak is born, 60 more until Yaakov is born, and Yaakov is 130 when he stands before Par'oh after 22 years of Yosef being away = 182 years.) Just because Yitzchak and Yaakov waited a long time to have kids doesn't mean Yishmael or his decendants did. If Yishmael and all his descendants each had 5 kids by the age of 30, that means Yishmael had at least 5^6 = 15625 great-great-great-great-grandchildren running around at the time Yosef was sold. So it shouldn't be too surprising that they didn't know (or care much about) their long-lost 2nd half-cousin thrice removed.

I'm working on a contact form and was wondering on the order of fields. if I should start with the subject first and then name, email and message field or name, email subject and message field.
Good question.
Imagine that the form is an actual conversation with a person. The first thing you want to do is find out who the person is and then determine what you want to talk about.
Name Email Subject Message
Sorry for arriving here 2 years later, but I don't agree with the answer given earlier.
Like Atanasio says, imagine that the form is an actual conversation with a person. However: if you're having a conversation, try not to focus on what you want, but try to think about what the other person needs. His primary goal is to send you a message; telling you his name and email address is just a side issue. See also this answer to "Order of fields in contact forms".

News Release (Back to Menu)
Memorial Service for Professor John Payne, Land Use Scholar and Affordable Housing Advocate, Set for October 18
October 08, 2009 –John M. Payne, Board of Governors Distinguished Service Professor at Rutgers School of Law–Newark, will be honored by family, colleagues, students, and friends at a memorial service at the law school on Sunday, October 18, 2009, beginning at 1 pm. Professor Payne died on June 16 at the age of 67.
Co-eulogists will be the Honorable Sylvia B. Pressler, Presiding Judge (Ret.), Appellate Division, Superior Court of New Jersey, and Neil Levine, E.B. Gleason Professor of History of Art and Architecture, Harvard University, and Vice President, Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy. Other speakers will share their special recollections. A reception will follow the service. RSVP required to email@example.com.
Professor Payne was a key intellectual force and leading lawyer in the Mt. Laurel cases, which established the requirement that growing suburban communities include provisions for low and moderate income housing in their zoning regulations. He was also a driving force for historic preservation in New Jersey and critical to protecting the work and legacy of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. He was named a Rutgers Distinguished Service Professor in 2004 in recognition of his leadership and advocacy in the housing reform and historic preservation movements together with his devotion to the advancement of the law school and the University.
As an academic, Professor Payne wrote and lectured extensively. In addition to his Mt. Laurel writing and articles on housing and historic preservation issues, he co-edited one of the most highly respected and widely-used casebooks on land development and land use law (Planning and Control of Land Development, 7th ed., 2008, with Daniel Mandelker et al.). Professor Payne joined the Rutgers faculty in 1971. He taught Land Use, Constitutional Law, Torts, and a Seminar on the Current Supreme Court.
The law school is establishing the John M. Payne Memorial Fund, which will support activities relating to Professor Payne's scholarly interests. Donations to the Memorial Fund should be made out to the Rutgers University Foundation, with a notation that the donation is for the John M. Payne Memorial Fund, and mailed to the Dean's Office, Rutgers School of Law–Newark, 123 Washington Street, Newark, NJ 07102.

The DL's Dealing With Liquor-License Drama
Is the old Ludlow Manor space haunted?
Is the old Ludlow Manor space haunted?
Think of the children.
Resident neighbors were not into it.
The music wont stop at Nublu.
Murky times for Hudson Clearwater.
The beer bar fares poorly, but barbecue clears most hurdles.
Expect poetry readings on Sunday and Monday nights, and Southern food with live entertainment the rest of the week.
That's a lot of margaritas.
Things got heated at last night's CB2 meeting.
The two-floor project is coming right along.
Are you ready for some (non-American) football?
The short answer: probably not.
Can CB3 save the small bars and keep the big ones out of our backyards?
Here's hoping they can make outdoor seating happen before cold weather sets in.
The German brewer's flagship beer hall clears another hurdle.
Community Board 1 unanimously nixed his petition for seven measly outdoor seats.
The quirky hot-dog shop will remain dry.
Lots of interesting things on the agenda.
Michael White's team just cannot convince neighbors that they need more Morini in their lives.
Attempts to turn the space into an art gallery are not going well.

A team of Saudi cardiologists wrapped up a one-month mission to Yemen during which they carried out more than 200 successful cardiac surgeries on needy children, the Arab News reported yesterday.
The 40-member team, dispatched from the Prince Sultan Cardiac Center in Riyadh, performed operations, including 137 open-heart surgeries, for 227 children suffering from cardiac deformations. The team also examined 630 children for heart deformity, the daily reported.
The head of the Saudi medical team, Dr. Huwaida bint Outhami, said at a press conference in Sana'a that her team could have performed more surgeries were it not for the limited bed capacity at the cardiac center at Al-Thawra General Hospital in the Yemeni capital. She emphasized, however, that "the figures are not our ambition. Our target is the result of the operation."
Dr. Huwaida bint Outhami said the mission was dispatched upon the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz in line with ongoing Saudi assistance to the people of Yemen.
Located in Riyadh, the Prince Sultan Cardiac Center is considered to be one of the most advanced cardiac centers in the region.

First suggestion is you shouldn't use Ext.regModel in ST2 anymore, instead you should use Ext.define:
Ext.define('Result', { extend : 'Ext.data.Model', config : { hasOne : [ { associatedModel : 'Score', associationKey : 'halfTime', getterName : 'getHalfTime', associatedName : 'halfTime' }, { associatedModel : 'Score', associationKey : 'fullTime', getterName : 'getFullTime', associatedName : 'fullTime' }, { associatedModel : 'Score', associationKey : 'overTime', getterName : 'getOverTime', associatedName : 'overTime' }, { associatedModel : 'Score', associationKey : 'afterPenalties', getterName : 'getAfterPenalties', associatedName : 'afterPenalties' } ] } }); Ext.define('Score', { extend : 'Ext.data.Model', config : { fields: [ {name : 'home', type : 'int', optional: true, defaultValue: null}, {name : 'away', type : 'int', optional: true, defaultValue: null} ], belongsTo: 'Result' } });Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Thank you for your response. It appears that if you use a hasOne association the data really has to have a related record and can't have null. I've ended up using a hasMany association, which can accept 0 or more related record. I can then look at result.overTime().count to see if it has a overTime result or not. I would expect that similar would be possible with a hasOne association but can't get that working. For now I can live with the above.

So is there a way to avoid this error when it is a valid scenario? Some way to not have the proxy attempt to load the data if the data truly isn't there?
22 Jun 2012 12:43 PM #5
I too have the same issue. I'm using a rest proxy, and if my associated object is null, it will attempt to autoload the data via the proxy. This is an issue of course, because my business model allows in many places for null hasOne relationships, where the data doesn't exist.
To work around this for now, I am returning an empty array in the json instead of null. The model then does not attempt to autoload because it has a dummy object already loaded for the association.
Has anyone found a valid solutions to this?
26 Dec 2012 4:10 AM #6
I haven't yet. I am encountering a similar problem now, except the association is basically loading the first available model it finds (I added a few checks in the sencha touch 2 code to prevent it from erroring out if the referred object is null or undefined, but this seems to have introduced this new bug for me.) I'm not sure if the Sencha team will get around to this, but I think a hasOne should be able to be null.

No bug that I'm aware of. Just acknowledgment that it's less than ideal. Sencha plans some major revamp of associations and related data package, but I don't know the specifics of it. Locally, we've created two new field types "model" and "store" that take a config object and parse the data as you would expect. It required some other extensions as well, including making sure the writer actually wrote those new types (as well as any association, which the current json writer does not). With all this in place, the code is nice and neat. A model is just a bunch of fields. Some are strings, some are dates, booleans, etc. And some are models or stores. -Sean

FYI, this has been reported for Ext JS 4.2.1. Unfortunately, it looks like it's not fixed in 4.2.2, but it does look like it might be fixed in 5.0.0. What I currently do is a hack to see if the getter exists... you can use getAssociatedData and check if your function is in the object returned, or what I do is more direct and just do this['<hasOne namespace>'], where this is the scope of the model with a hasOne association.

Muddy Waters, can you help me get my mojo working?
by Emily Ford
I have a problem. Several months ago I realized I'd lost my librarian mojo and since that time I've been struggling to reclaim it. Being the person that I am, I have been hyper-analyzing my mojo loss. I have been disenchanted at work, feeling weary and dissatisfied, and yet, it feels like it's all out of my control. This (perhaps self-indulgent) post is a reflection on my personal struggle to understand what IS my librarian mojo, and what can I do to keep it going and get it back when it appears to have gone missing.
First, let me take a moment to describe what I mean by librarian mojo. Mojo is pretty, clear, defined by the Oxford English Dictionary online as:
"Magical power, voodoo, the art of casting spells; a charm or talisman used in casting such spells. More generally, esp. in recent use: a power, force, or influence of any kind (often with sexual connotations). Freq. attrib. and in to have (also get) one's mojo working (chiefly fig. and allusive)." (accessed 6/21/10. Thanks, Multnomah County Library!)
Thanks to popular culture we might immediately think of Austin Powers when we think of mojo, or maybe the book by Marshall Goldsmith that was published last year. (I heard it was decent, though haven't had a chance to read it yet.) And of course there is an entry in the Urban Dictionary for mojo.
But what does mojo have to do with being a librarian? Think about it. Librarians have bags of tricks or spells that we cast about. A trick might be our ability to find that book, in the way we are able to perform a reference interview, in the charm of checking out books to people and sharing information. We have the power to arm people with information and do so easily and quickly. We know how to think critically. We know how to teach, we are expert searchers, we have resilience and passion. So what happened that made me feel like I didn't have my mojo, any more? I still had the same skills the same training, education and experience, but what had happened? There had been a course of events, some of which were beyond my control, that led to my dissatisfaction, frustration, and burnout at work. This loss of mojo was pretty startling for me. I am 30 years old and I have only held my MLS for 3 years.
If you do any research on the topic you will find a plethora of work written on burnout in libraries and job satisfaction. There's also a wealth of work written about failure, mistakes, and job satisfaction outside our small world of libraries. I can't tackle all the knowledge out there, but you'll find some some articles listed below as further reading. Just know that they're only the tip of the iceberg.
Systems Failure and Mojo
We are dependent on systems. We depend on systems as simple as work schedules to those as complicated as databases and other high-tech implementations. As technologies evolve our subsequent dependence on those technologies grows. Our dependence on systems makes us more vulnerable to systems failure that is beyond our control and a potential subsequent loss of mojo.
When I first started working at my current place of employ I was hired to work on a project called Oregon Health Go Local. I'd spent two years working on this project when the project sponsor, the National Library of Medicine, announced it would be phasing out all Go Local projects. (You may recall that part of this work inspired a previous post of mine about Outreach.) This is a great example of a systems or tool failure. The fact that Go Local databases would no longer exist is the loss of a countless hours of work by libraries and librarians all over the United States. It was not that the NLM made a bad decision. In fact, the NLM made the right decision based on their extensive analysis of Go Local projects (IMHO), but it was a decision that affected me and numerous other individuals. A project to which I had dedicated a lot of work and energy failed. But projects end and I was surprisingly okay with the discontinuation of Oregon Health Go Local. Even though I was okay with the end of the project, it still called into question my librarian mojo.
Power outages are another good example of a systems failure. Without power you have no online tools, no lights to even read the red books (LCSH Subject Headings in print) or your call number cheat sheet, and maybe, as Guy Robertson (2004) points out in his article "Lights Out! Dealing with Power Outages in Your Library," the library emergency flashlight might have been misplaced. What librarian mojo do we have when we rely on technologies, even if it is the lights?
Think about this in a different context. Who are librarians and what power do librarians have to help a patron find print material without the catalog? Say I had a patron who was looking for a book about diabetic foot problems. Without walking through the stacks, one aisle at a time, I would be at a loss to find this kind of item. Why? Because I rely on the electronic catalog to help me navigate subject headings. I rely on the tools of our profession to practice my librarian mojo. My charm is that I understand how to find out that books on diabetes are shelved with the other WK835 books, not that I KNOW that books on diabetes are shelved there. I rely on tools that operate beyond my immediate control, to practice that librarian mojo. A lot of my mojo relies on the tools I use every day. (And what does this say about our librarian identities?) While a power outage or catalog downtime is certainly not the be all end all problem, I think it points to technology and tool dependence that can negatively effect librarian mojo.
The fact is, my librarian mojo has come to be dependent on the tools I use, not the skills I have. It's a lot harder to wield my mighty skills set without the tools. And when these tools fail, I feel like I've failed, and, my librarian mojo suffers. It's not that every time a little problem occurs I experience a complete loss of mojo. Librarians, by nature, are great problem solvers and find great work-arounds. It's that all of the little failures and mistakes can build up, and after a time it can start affecting us negatively, if we let it.
Library and librarian tools that enable me to use my mojo are mostly proprietary. At work I rely on commercial software developers and commercial vendor products. I find it incredibly frustrating, that using proprietary tools like an ILS, a collection development tool, or a research database can put my mojo out of my hands. Try contacting a database vendor to ask why something is broken and to get it fixed? When it's not working I can't wield my mighty mojo to help patrons find that article or do that search, and my librarian mojo doesn't allow me to fix the database myself or have a colleague do it. I think it would help if we were able to be some of these providers ourselves. We need to have library programmers on library staff to assist in being less dependent on commercial products that can hinder our librarian mojo. (Brett wrote about this a while back.)
We see this commercial dependence even more in collection development, purchasing and licensing. What happens to the mojo of librarians when libraries can no longer pay the rising costs of journal subscriptions and are possibly falling victim to unethical library vendors? For example, the University of California is having trouble with the pricing of Nature Publishing Group publications. Due to these issues the university may conduct a boycott of the publisher, thereby not providing access to highly used titles. What's going to happen to librarian mojo when libraries no longer have the money to buy the tools that enable us to do our jobs?
Meredith Farkas makes the distinction that via consortia we might be able to fight for more ethical practices from our vendors. But I wonder if relying on vendors is really the end solution. Can we not be tool creators and providers at the same time? Certainly not with budgets that allocate for collections and tools over personnel. We need programmers and technologies that we don't have.
What excites me about librarianship is to advocate for people and groups who need advocates. I want to provide and make accessible as much information as possible, and commercial and tool dependence hinder me from doing as much as I want. Because of libraries' commercial dependence and shrinking budgets I can't do as much I would like. I feel frustrated and disheartened by the behemoth issues that face libraries and that hinder me from doing my best. I didn't become a librarian to overcome seemingly insurmountable barriers, I became a librarian to help people.
Despite all of these possible systems failures, personal frustrations, and mojo-loss inducing situations, failure isn't necessarily a bad thing. Andy Burkhardt thinks we're experts at it. From failure we can learn to improve. In his recent article Being Wrong and Learning from "Partial Success" Walt Crawford (2010) discusses failure. He points out that we hate to talk about them and admit to our failures. But talking about and studying failure is necessary.
Lisa German (2009) suggests in her piece about project management No One Plans to Fail, They Fail to Plan, that if you fail it's because you didn't plan well enough. I disagree. Mostly. (BP's recent gulf oil dilemma certainly points to a failure to plan.) I agree more with Daniel Chudnov (2008), who, in his article Failure is Always an Option, argues that failure is normal and should be embraced. Moreover, he stresses that we should PLAN on failing. For example, I could keep a call number cheat sheet at the reference desk for those times when the catalog is down or the power is out. I could download a flashlight app or WorldCat app to my phone. I could also work on recognizing when my mojo is being affected and try to reign it back to the positive side.
At some point we will make mistakes and we will fail at something. But when do we need to have contingency plans? That's the whole concept behind disaster planning. But do we do it as much for our tools as we do for our buildings and physical materials? Where I work we have a group that's looking at contingency planning for access to e-resources in the event of a disaster. Another example of small systems failure is when an e-book isn't accessible. Just this morning I assisted a patron in requesting a print copy of an e-book that wasn't working via our library consortium. If this had failed I would have helped the patron fill out an interlibrary loan request. Small failures like this are easy to work around. When we can problem solve and when we can have contingency plans in place we can diminish the blow of the failure. Still, when added up small everyday systems failures can have great impact on our librarian mojo.
That Inner Mojo and Getting it Back (Or, a lot of it is in your head.)
Most of the time systems failure is out of our control, but how we react to those failures and our general inner mojo is not. A while back Ellie wrote a terrific review of the book How We Decide by Jonah Lehrer. In it she provides examples about Lehrer's insights regarding the balance between emotion and rationality. Essentially, how we think about failure can have a lot to do with our mojo.
In my case it wasn't just the end of one project or one system failure that resulted in my mojo loss. As is often the case it was a number of things happening all at once. Things at work were frustrating. I wasn't liking my day to day work, I didn't feel that any of my idealism about libraries and librarianship were being tapped or utilized. I didn't feel like I was learning or affecting my community positively, the major project on which I had spent close to 2 years of my professional life had ended in failure, and this all culminated into a ball of the work blahs. I had lost my mojo.
Part of my blahs had to do with the disillusionment about libraries and professional work life in general. When I started working I was ready, fresh-faced, young, naive, excited, and full of ideas. After a few years of too many meetings, too much university bureaucracy, budget cuts, unstable temporary employment, and Oregon Health Go Local's phase out I felt burned out and mojo-less. Basically, I let it get to me. And come to find out Anitra Steele (2009) mentions that "New librarians are perhaps at a higher risk of burnout than veteran coworkers. One article states this is because idealistic expectations and practice do not often coincide."
But I love being a librarian and I don't want to stop being one. I love that I have the education and skills that I mentioned at the beginning of this post (critical thinking, etc.). I just want my mojo back. And no one's going to give it to me, so I've got to take ownership of my librarian mojo. I've got to start thinking differently. I've got to find pro-active solutions.
So what have I done to attempt to reclaim it? First, I went on ALA Connect's Mentor Connect (a portal within ALA Connect that lets mentors and mentees find each other) and requested some mentorship and advice. My mentor helped me think about what I want from librarianship, what kind of librarian I want to be, and helped me think about what actions I could take to work toward that goal. When I expressed an interest to pursue academic library work at a more general university or at a community college rather than at a health sciences institution, my mentor encouraged me to seek out professional development opportunities that would fulfill my professional needs in this area and make me an attractive job candidate for future opportunities. In this vein I decided to remain active in ALA and cut back on my involvement in health sciences by not renewing memberships in health sciences library organizations when they are due.
I've also been going through a subconscious ritual of daily affirmations at work. (I'm being serious.) I have taped to my computer monitor at work a note from a co-worker (written to me in a meeting when she knew I was losing my mojo). It says,
"Don't worry–it's not just you. We know how good you are!"
I went on vacation during which I read books for pleasure, spent time with friends and my partner, and was even out of cell phone and e-mail range.
I went to ALA Annual where I got inspired about librarianship by talking to inspiring people and gaining a more whole library perspective than my niche in a medical school setting. I was able to chat with librarians who work in public libraries, community college libraries, small private college libraries, and this year's class of Emerging Leaders. I attended programs that were of interest to me such as the Google Book Search Settlement Panel, and the Open Access Debate. I attended Library Advocacy Day and met with my state representatives to talk about issues facing libraries. These experiences re-energized me and reminded me why I became a librarian.
And the biggest thing of all is that just the other day, (July 1st), I started a new job description and dropped my work hours to half-time. Instead of working as a Reference Librarian, I am now Scholarly Communication Librarian. I'll be working with the research faculty and students to provide education about the NIH Public Access Policy, issues in open access, publishing, and author rights. These new duties will enable me to be more involved with why I wanted to be a librarian in the first place: to advocate for something about which I'm passionate– equitable and open access to information.
I am lucky to have this luxury– to be able to afford to work half-time– and the leadership in my library supports this change. Working half-time will enable me to re-discover hobbies like riding my bike, gardening, cooking, and learning book arts. It will enable me to come to work refreshed and be able to HAVE that mojo that I need to do a good job. Feeling like a whole person has a lot to do with my librarian mojo and this is going to be the best solution for me to get my mojo working again.
My mojo's not all the way back, but what I'm going to do from here on out is really celebrate my accomplishments like Robert Moran (2009) suggests in What a Great Place to Work!. I will find the things that I find fulfilling about library work and concentrate on them. I'm going to frame my degrees and hang in them in my office at work to remind myself why I'm a librarian, and aim to work towards being what I want to be. I'm going to read books like How We Decide, and Mindset: The New Psychology of Success and learn about Peter Drucker's work (whom Kim mentioned a while back) to try to learn how to keep failures from affecting my mojo. Finally, I'm going to concentrate on that feeling described by one of my pals as "the moment when you remember what it's like to be you when you're happy again."
So, dear readers. Have you ever lost your librarian mojo? Have you experienced burnout? What caused it and how did you handle it?

Code discussion
Council reviews handling of property reports
June 11, 2013
WEIRTON — City officials want to change the way their code enforcement staff handles problem properties....
Sounds like its time for Councilman Ash to resign/retire. As a public official, complaints come with the job. If he can't take it anymore, then he needs to get out of the way so someone with a fresh perspective can try and help. He's been part of this administration for a long time. He is responsible as are any others that have been there as long (mayor Kondik) and have lead the city down to this low level. The complaints are actually about him, and his ward is wore off than when he started.

I used to play all the Mario Bros. games from when I learned how to use a game remote, all the way to now. Once in a blue moon I will play with my baby sister because she loves Paper Mario as well as Little Big Planet. Anyways, Chain Chomp is a black ball connected by a thick long chain. The chain is usually connected to a stake that is hammered in the ground, and your character has to strategically either elude Chain Chomp, or out smart him. Drawing Chain Chomp is just as fun as seeing him in the game. Have fun all you Mario Bros. lovers out there, and be sure to see what I have for you all next. Peace.

- Care & Cleaning
Print Florentine leather has not been specifically treated for water repellency. Thus, the leather will temporarily darken when wet, and return to the original tone once completely dry. The waxed surface may assist in staving off some dirt.
With continued use, a lovely shine or patina will develop, only enhancing the beauty of this leather. It is also characteristic for lighter colors to darken with use over time, and with exposure to light.
Minor abrasions may be removed or lessened with the use of a very soft cloth and a gentle buffing action.
This collection requires no creams, polishes or leather conditioning products to maintain its beauty.

Psychologist Bill Pfohl says it's important for kids to have a set time and place for homework at least five days a week. He recommends 15 to 20 minutes for younger children, a half-hour for elementary and middle school kids, and 45 minutes to an hour for senior high.
He also says parents need to know their role where homework is involved. "Parents should not do homework; they should monitor; what do you have to do? Did you do it? Don't write papers for them; don't correct; if there are problems or differences, contact the teacher."
When it comes to making time for homework, in addition to all the other after school activities, Dr. Pfohl says parents must be aware of their child's media access.
Robin Shea says she actually got rid of her family's Gameboy when one of her four sons got a little too attached to it.
"I wasn't comfortable with how obsessed he was with it when its beautiful outside. That's where kids need to be experience that."
She says the rainy day rule works for her family. Only when it's raining can they have time with the play station. Dr. Pfohl says knowing the games your kids are playing is also essential.
Regardless of what you approve of, Dr. Pfohl says its often television, computers, and video games that takes up our time and keeps any real family communication from taking place.
Dr. Pfohl says for busy families who don't spend quality time together at meal time or bed time, he recommends half hour family meetings on Sunday just to make sure the family is on the same page with issues everyone is facing.
And he says if you work to make time for everything your family is involved in, you won't miss out on the most crucial ingredient of all, communication.

I am playing in a 3.5 game recently, and a question has come up that none of us could really answer. Does the alignment of a summoned monster (as per the Summon Monster I-IX spells) matter at all? For example, if a Neutral Good Elf Wizard casts Summon Monster V, and pulls out a Fiendish Deinonychus, does the monster then disobey, being Lawful Evil? Or does the creature follow the whim of its summoner, regardless of alignment?

A summoned monster's alignment only matters if you're a cleric.
The summon monster spells are of the same alignment as the creature you summon (e.g. summoning a Dretch is a Chaotic and Evil spell). A cleric is forbidden from casting spells of alignment opposed to his alignment or his deity's alignment.
A good-aligned wizard can freely summon fiendish creatures. There is no penalty for a good-aligned arcane spellcaster using an Evil spell. It may affect his reputation in society, but there's no mechanical penalty. Creatures summoned with summon monster spells obey the caster regardless of alignment, provided you can speak their language (and if not, they automatically attack your enemies).
Summoned monsters' alignments can also matter if you're putting them up against an enemy with protection from, magic circle against, or dispel chaos/evil/good/law and related spells.
The creature follows the whim of its summoner, provided it can be communicated with, or just attacks the summoner's enemies to the best of its ability. As already noted, its alignment sets the alignment descriptor of the spell (which DOES matter for clerics) and matters while interacting with alignment-based spells. Please note that the summoned creature is extraplanar, which may also matter.

Summer in Cape Town for kids
The sun is shining and the weather is sweet. If you are in Cape Town, you'll want to be out and about, soaking up the warmth while exploring the fairest Cape with your beautiful family. And what an adventure that would be – there's plenty for kids (and families) to do in Cape Town during summer!
At the beach:
The Southern Peninsula provides a plethora of beaches and activities for kids, from the Atlantic Seaboard with its stunning views and beaches to the family-friendly False Bay coast. Kids will especially love a walk and an ice cream along the Sea Point promenade, or a rummage through the rock pools at Fish Hoek or St James beaches.
On the mountain:

Transfers In: Much more reserved in the transfer market this year, with only six players coming in; two of them in January. Aided by a similarly-priced deal that saw Sam Minihan leave for Crawley, a young, Welsh AMC, Sam McGee was brought in for £70k, making him my first signing with a fee. I had to ask the board for help signing him to achieve the season's aims, and to my shock horror, they accepted! Gerardo Bruna, and Marc Pelosi, Argentine and American wingers respectively, were brought in to bolster the attack and both did well, and young Irish DR/C Jonathon Murphy provided competition in defense. English midfielder Ellis Martin and German keeper Bernd Buchmann completed the signings.
Best Buy: Sam McGee - the kid is unbelievably good, only just turned 18 but was in the first team all season. Football League potential no doubt.
Worst Buy: All six played their part so none of them can contend for this.
Transfers Out: 6 players moved out, Sam Minihan's £55k deal to Crawley the best of the bunch.
Best Sale: Minihan was never going anywhere with this club, so the transfer fee was nice.
Round-Up: We started like a train, and won 9 out of our first 10 games. Eastleigh and Forest Green were keeping up with us all this way, until around the 25th round of matches, when the former dropped off and the latter dropped us. A mid-season slump may have been down to our cup headache, or maybe it was just that part of the season. We started closing the gap to Forest Green again with about fifteen games to go, and with just five left, overtook them. We matched each other game for game until the end of the season, and there we were - champions.
Our fantastic run in the FA Cup saw us not only win our first in the competition under my stewardship, but our first 6 matches, as rivals Brackley, Oxford City, Boston United, Woking, Bury and Worcester were beaten. West Ham, npower Championship title contenders proved a step too far, but a 1-0 loss was far from embarrassing. We dropped out of the FA Trophy early again, but I hardly cared given the success of the side in the main competitions.
I'm now in the club's favoured personnel list (along with Wake and Mannion), and the board have announced that our 6500-stadium will be turned from a 250-seater into an all-seater. Should be able to attract more fans over the next season or two then!

Worksop Town | Season 2018/19 | Blue Square North
Table | Positions Graph | Squad | Finances | Transfers
This was the season of "1-0 up, 2-1 down" or even, once or twice, "3-0 up, 4-3 down". Ive never seen so many defeats and draws from winning positions. If it was "first goal wins", I would have been very close to the playoffs. By my reckoning, we took the lead in at least ten of the games we didnt win this season. The problem was the defence, which really does need sorting out. Will spend the summer tweaking my tactics majorly. The cup runs were nothing special this year, another major problem, going out to Barrow and Frickley in the FA Cup and FA Trophy respectively. The league was, frankly, a total disaster and the less said about that the better.
Not being able to sell Doyle was also a big problem, both for current finances and because, with his wage demands now above the board's limit, I cant possibly keep him now. He is destined to move on this summer for free. Real shame, that. But the best offer I got for him was 90k and I felt that his goals for one last season were worth that money. In hindsight, I was wrong. However, I was handed a reprieve. Right at the end of the season, days (in FM) before I posted this report, he signed another contract. Will cost me £88k for the extra year, but hopefully this year his goals will make it worth the outlay.
Key Players
Mark Pelosi* - Back on the upwards curve, but cant persuade him to accept even the highest contract I can offer him, will probably leave.
Mattias Fanimo - Same story, really...
Conor Doyle - perhaps knowing he was leaving, he really declined this year. Still too good for this level, but his training was poor and his form deserted him.
Krisztian Adorjan - another backwards step here, too. But I will have to build a new team around him.
Amin Affane - again, going to have to be a core component of my new team.
Michael Kamau - made many more interceptions than anyone else despite playing only about 3/4 of matches.
Craig Edwards - developing promisingly.
(*= fans' player of the year)
The team of the year
The historical best XI - showing Doyle passing 100 goals for the club this year.
Who knows what will happen next season? Am trying a new tactic which I'm hoping will cause an upturn in our fortunes. Will also need to make a few really quality signings in the summer which wont be easy to do. £55k to help running cost was a very nice end-of-season gift from my chairman, but it won't change everything overnight...we're still almost £100k in the red.
Targets for 2018/19
Sell Doyle for at least £250k. FAILURE
Sign a striker who will score at least 20 goals. FAILURE
Sign a top goalkeeper. FAILURE
Sign several really quality defenders. FAILURE
Try to stay in the black. FAILURE
So not a great season in all....
Targets for 2019/20
Sign a top goalkeeper.
Sign a top quality defender.
Turn a profit, preferably by another cup run.
Get at least 60 points.
In other news, City won the double in England, and Barcelona beat Bayern in the Champions' League final.

First season has come to a close and the heartbreak of a play-off semi-final defeat will take a while to get over after being in with a shout from a good end of season run of form.
The season was going so well until it came to around the new year, which resulted in a dry spell of just two wins in 14 games. Luckily the team were able to pick themselves up and achieve a play-off spot. Only for it to all go wrong (I've seen it all before, being a Forest fan!)
Player transfer wise, I struggled with the concept of the fog of war, which I've never used before...hence the hoards of signings I made just to try and get the odd quality deal done. Record signing was made on a toblerone footed striker from MET police...I'm pretty sure I was robbed by the constabulary!
Anyways, the dream of top european football goes on....
Squad Transfers Table Position Progress
#84 – Hastings United – Blue Square Bet South – 2013/14 - 1st
Although spending most of the season on top of the league, I was rarely able to stretch the lead beyond 5 or 6 points meaning things were never comfortable. In the end six wins on the trot towards the end of the season saw top spot taken.
Drawing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup 3rd round pulled in £750k meaning my finances are in much better shape (I was around £250k in the red).
I was unable to make any significant signings due to being over my wage budget but go into the new season with only 2.5k of a 8k per week wage budget used. Hopefully when demands of players on free transfers start to drop later in the year I will be able to bring in some good players.
1000-1 against Worksop gaining promotion in 2020!!!
2 wins out of the first 3 games for FC United, hopefully with our ground sharing with Bury we might be able to bring in some revenue.
END OF SEASONPromotion in our second season of League football is an amazing achievement but winning it feels even better! There's a few players who can play higher, I just need to strengthen the back up players if we are to make a go of it in League One.

Seriously, have scouted like 400 players. Anyone who is worth of a single star (and i've checked, none of the 0.5*s are any better than that) is willing to discuss terms. Whats the point of this stupid game?!
first season in league 2 and we're looking good so far !
....although they still ask for 5-10 times what i can offer them!
One player just asked for £170k! I can only go up to £12K!!!
Incidentally, that's per year, not per week or month!
Because the player doesn't want to join otherwise. Look at the report, "such and such has no intentions of joining us at the moment" yet you can enter negotiations with him. Exploit, plain and simple.
Hey it's up to people how they play the game, and like I said, "not for me", it would take the challenge away. Def a bug, so by using it, you're exploiting the game.
Guess it accounts for SOME (not all) of the metoric rises being seen here.
Henry - its not an exploit, as they still ask for absurd wages. Prem players will want WAY more than you can afford. If you ask me, the fact that none will negotiate in the first place is a bug in itself......
Exactly. It's not an exploit, it's correcting a bug. I dont know about Prem players, but most of these players wouldnt come to Worksop - but that's because we are not able to offer anything like enough wages. Some of the players who wouldnt even discuss terms with me otherwise are not even good enough for the level below the BSN/S, it was just ridiculous that they wouldnt talk money with me. This is a bug workaround, not an exploitation of the game.
No - I've had a player recommended to me with League One potential - he wasnt yet good enough even for my crappy first team - but he wanted almost £100k a year - way more than I can afford.
No GreyedOutMan, it's not correcting a bug, it's exploiting a bug. Hey if you want to be cheap, go for it, up to you how you play the game.
#86 - Gilbster - BSP - 2015/16 End of Season Update
Well for a team that should never have been promoted, we proved it this season. Due to promotion wage increases I had no budget to offer the money that the players I wanted, what they wanted,so I could barely strengthen the squad. As a result a team that barely should have been up, was playing with the bigger boys, and in fairness we had some good runs of form. Jsar your tactical hints have helped quite a bit and it did go down to the penultimate game of the season.
However the result was inevitable, we have been relegated straight back down, and all the good players including Eric Keane werent wanting to sign new contracts, or were wanting far too much money and as a result, most of them will be leaving at the end of this season. This is gonna leave me with a club that needs to be rebuilt and ideally needs to bounce straight back up.
Restructure squad
Try and remove promotion clauses from all contracts as they are really annoying
Pray I hold onto my job
Try and get straight back into playoffs at the very least.
Replace all my players that leave with cheaper copies of them!

seriously before I found out about this I couldnt get ANYONE to sign for me. Not even a guy who had been playing for the Met Police ffs!
It was a bug, this is a workaround. It doesnt help me at all because it doesnt get me anyone on the cheap, they still ask for absurd wages at times, and as for the Agbonlahor thing - well Gazza played for someone like Matlock or something at the end of his career...
They wont sign for you because your rep is too low.
I would suggest that those that consider it a but to raise it in the bug forum and get an official statment from SI, one thing to consider is that your scouts are not always right about the willlingness of a player to sign for you, so does this happen on every single oppotunity like this?
Well I dont know but if I dont use this, i literally cant sign anyone with a single attribute over 10. Basically not a single player who would be considered good enough for the BSN/S, even for a reserve team, would come to me. THAT is a bug. Especially as I've been in the BSN playoffs once.
jsar, ManU just released a real quality starlet on my game. Everyone is after him, from the lower half of the prem right the way down, and some foriegn teams. He's rejecting them all, but I can get him on £270 a week at BSP team weymouth? That sound right to you? Honestly?
After a period of time away from the game, I came back to it and made a couple of tactical adjustments, a team meeting and finally we managed to secure our first win in 15 matches in the league. Surprisingly, those 15 matches hadnt put us into the relegation zone but we were balancing on the edge. That win is a helping hand hopefully to better things and what better time to get the win than on Boxing Day.
Just posting this for GreyedOutMan who are having problems accessing the forum:
If someone speaks to SI and they confirm that this would make it very unfair in any way, I will stop doing it. But I havent seen this so far. I tried to sign James Milner - 33 year old - through this. And he did offer me terms. But as those terms were £3.3m a year, along with a £1.4m loyalty bonus, I dont really see this as an exploit. Its totally realistic - yes, Milner wouldnt waste his time asking BSN Worksop for that kind of money but if they had it, then at 33 he might well join.
Remember Sol Campbell joining Notts County?
MikaelS you can wrap it up anyway you want that makes you feel better about it! x
I just think if we think it is a bug report it to SI, and get an official answer.
As i said before personally i wasnt aware of it and so havent used it and have no intention of doing so but if it is currently in the game and isnt against the "rules" then technically as far as the challamge goes any one using it has not done anything wrong
Ah I see, sorry. The comment applies to GoM then.
I think more it is a matter of going around a bug instead of using it. We have all been using that button at some point, even to high profile players. As GoM states, he cannot sign any player what so ever, but when using that button, he at least have the ability to offer some kind of contract.
Not "all" mate. Far from it.
If you are telling me that when you get a scout report, you don't even look at the stats? You just offer a contract without looking? BS.
You'd look at his stats, then offer a contract from that page, as it's quicker (probably why this bug hasn't been picked upo til now).
Anyway, i'm done. Be cheap if you like or don't, I don't care.
Back on now. Yeah - its as Mikael says. Before, I literally couldnt sign anyone. Not even a player who had been released by Met Police. Don't start telling me my rep is lower than Met Police!
If you ask me, it might even be a feature - if you have scouted him, the game assumes you have made contact and therefore you are more likely to be able to sign him. Whilst it's true that someone like Milner wouldnt usually bother spending time telling Worksop that he wants over 4m a year, it is, as I have stated, reasonable to assume that if they had that sort of money he would sign for them. As I mentioned, remember Sol Campbell.
I would agree that some confirmation from SI on this issue would be good, but the way I see it, all this does is correct a huge bug. James Milner, for example, who is the only high-rep player I could find available on a free....he's in talks with West Ham, but didnt mind giving me some figures. Sure, he could be all mine for £4m a year. I'd argue that a team that can afford that has, by default, a high enough rep to buy an ageing semi-star like Milner at 33. Again, cite Notts County for that.....
This seems totally realistic to me.....
Whatever dude. Like I said I don't care, but I won't be looking at your updates anymore, as I think you're a cheap exploiter. Fair do's.
Just like to point out this doesnt work for all players regardles of club, just for research i looked at Roque Santa Cruz who is a free agent on my game regardles of how i tried to offer him a contract he was not interested understandably, and the same with Daniel sturidge, it did however let me offer Frazier Campbell a contract but even if i was happy to use this "bug", "Exploit", "work around" or what ever we are calling it i would have to pay him 2900 of my 5000 budget which obviously i dont have the cash for.
Would you rather I went through the rest of my game not able to sign a single player worth his salt in the BSN? Is it realistic that a player who was playing in level 8 or 9 or whatever wouldnt join me after I had just lost in the BSN playoffs?
I think we'll find from SI that this was a bug, anyway. But if it wasnt, then it is a flaw in the game.
The way I see it, it's actually a feature. As I mentioned - it means that we cant sign anyone half-decent without scouting them, which is an extension of the rules for this challenge and I dont see what the problem is. There is simply no way I could sign a premiership star in the BSN, and that's as it should be.
has someone asked SI about this?
I've posted a bug report.
hj, you will see when I post my season reports that the players I'm getting are no better than anyone else has managed. The new goalkeeper I've signed is decent, but he's on nearly 10k a year, my 4th highest earner, and yet he's probably not going to be good enough for the BSP if I ever get there.
I won't be looking anymore. So don't worry about it.
Hardly a world-beater is he?! Check back over someone else's Worksop post and you tell me that he's in a totally different class of goalkeeper to the one they had?
I don't care lol....
Hi all
I played this last year with Evesham and took 12 years to get promoted to the Football League, at which point I stopped playing because you have to, you know, buy your players from other teams! Madness!
Anyway I thought I'd give it a go this season and I've just got my game set up so fingers crossed that a decent team gets promoted.
Can I ask, I've added this and this to correct some of the team names and get the full names of clubs to show in the tables, are these allowed? The intention is an aesthetic change not to fiddle with any stats but I don't want to get into a game and then find out it's a problem. Thanks
My thoughts exactly MikaelS, which is why I wasnt going to respond to him!
We will see what SI says won't we MikaelS. In the meantime you better run along and dl the real time editor to make sure you get to the prem before they fix it. Time is running out....tick tock tick tock
If they say it's a bug, and that its right that no-one who has played in any of the top 9 levels of the english pyramid will sign for Worksop for some reason, then I will stop using it. I will also stop playing Football Manager.
I've never been able to sign a player who was recommended to me in a backroom meeting, not a single player my scouts rated at more than 2* has EVER wanted to sign for me. I'm guessing that the one or two decent players I have signed were the one or two who I happened to click on the correct button for without realising the difference. It was a coincidence, in other words. Clearly that is a bug - otherwise whats the point of scouting, right?
And to add to Mikael, I would be too. If they claim that it's not a bug, I will be sending them my game and asking them to explain why I havent been able to sign anyone who has played at level 8 or above for 3 years, then, when everyone else seems to be able to sign premiership rejects on a regular basis......
Those that are signing prem rejects on a reg basis, I would suggest, have been exploiting.
Possibly - although as no-one has brought it up, I'd suggest they've been "exploiting" unwittingly, but I cant even sign League Two rejects! Which is why it's not an exploit it is a workaround/neat little feature if deliberate, which I'm more and more convinced it might be. If so, could I suggest in advance that Dafuge's rule about scouting first might have been the reason they put the feature in?
Hahaha it's not deliberate. I'm willing to bet my house on that. Like I said, I could sign a super starlet who was released by ManU for £240 quid a week (he was 16), yet he was rejecting the likes of Wolves, New Castle and Deprotivo La Coruna.
If you want to use it fine. But when you do eventually get to the prem, don't blame me if you're not as happy about it, as you would have expected.
This "starlet" you could sign. I bet you anything he's a petulant idiot who no premiership club would touch with a bargepole. If this is the case, so much the better. It's the sort of thing that might well happen to Carlos Tevez shortly - I mean, can you really see Arsene Wenger or Harry Redknapp buying him, or any premiership manager with even half a brain?
And I'll bet you that 90% of the players playing FM, have at some point used that button. It's there. It easy access.
If you were playing as Man Utd and wanted to sign Messi. Would you look at his stats before offering a contract? No I didn't think so.
Also, if you're going to post in the bugs forum, give the information accurately, rather than trying to make yourself look good by giving half-baked information.
Can we just leave this whole discussion and get back onto important things like playing the game and offering constructive advice, or at least wait to see what SI said about it?
MikaelS - the more I think about it, the more I think I must have used it to sign the few decent players I have in my squad. The fact that most of my squad is total junk is testament to the fact that I normally check the player's attributes first and offer from the profile screen. Looks like that button is bugged to me.
We're talking about non league here. Talk of Messi and Man U is irrelevant, as both are world wide reputations.
It's very clear in my game. No-one who's even nearly good enough for the BSN will speak to me if i offer through the attributes screen. Simple as.
100% of the time, he will enter into negotiations. Now I'm calling you a liar MikaelS.
